ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL                  
        -------------------------------------------------
        CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
        ------------------------------------

THE THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 1996 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEBRUARY 28, 1995
- -----------------

Sales declined approximately $169,000 or 11.2% for the three months ended
February 29, 1996 compared to the three months ended February 28, 1995.  This
decline was the result of the loss of certain of the Company's customers and the
elimination of non-profitable accounts (approximately $283,000), offset by the
additions of a university (approximately $37,000) and a major library system
(approximately $77,000) to the Company's customer base in March and July of
1995, respectively.  There are two primary reasons for the loss of customers by
the Company.  The majority of the Company's customers are maintained pursuant to
contractual agreements, generally ranging from three to five years.  In certain
areas the Company's business has become increasingly more competitive. 
Accordingly, when contracts come up for renewal the Company may be out bid by
its competitors.  Secondly, the Company has commenced a critical review of its
customer base and has determined not to renew customer contracts where the costs
of maintaining such customers exceeded the benefits.  This often occurs when the
required commission structure is excessive or the customer's demands for
equipment are unreasonable based on the revenue generated from the customer.  In
March 1996, the Company was not successful in its bid for the renewal of its
contract with a major library system in the City of New York, which provided
approximately 12.3% of the Company's sales for the fiscal year ended November
30, 1995.  The Company will continue to collect revenue from this library system
over the next several months until such time when all the Company's copiers are
removed.  Additionally, in April 1996 the Company's bid for a large university
in the Southeast was accepted.  Revenues derived from the Company's Smart Switch
continue to be minimal.

Cost of sales represented 78.7% of sales for the three months ended February 29,
1996 compared to 72.0% for the three months ended February 28, 1995.  This
increase is primarily attributable to an increase in the cost of paper and other
supplies, and additional technical support needed for new equipment purchased. 
In addition, the Company continued its program to refurbish its copiers which
commenced in the second half of fiscal 1995.  Management believes that for
certain segments of its customer base refurbishment represents a less costly
alternative to the purchase of new equipment.

Depreciation and amortization decreased approximately $24,000 for the three
months ended February 29, 1996 compared to the three months ended February 28,
1995 as a result of certain of the Company's equipment becoming fully
depreciated, offset in part by recently purchased equipment.




























<PAGE>
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to approximately $518,000
or 38.6% of sales for the three months ended February 29, 1996 from
approximately $582,000 or 38.6% of sales for the three months ended February 28,
1995.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
February 29, 1996 include certain expenses incurred in connection with the
marketing, promotion and development of the Smart Switch operation
(approximately $120,000).

Interest expense decreased approximately $21,000 for the three months ended
February 29, 1996 compared to the three months ended February 28, 1995 as a
result of the Company's paying off all outstanding bank indebtedness in December
1995.

During the three months ended February 28, 1995, the Company determined to
write-off the unamortized portion of the fair market value of common shares
issued, in the amount of approximately $1,615,000, to an individual for services
that were to be performed over a seven year period, due to the individual's
failure to continue to perform his obligations pursuant to the agreement.

The above resulted in a net loss of approximately $365,000 for the three months
ended February 29, 1996 compared to a net loss of approximately $1,953,000 for
the three months ended February 28, 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

At February 29, 1996, the Company had cash and a working capital (deficiency) of
$684,000 and ($268,000), respectively, as compared to $1,001,000 and
($1,254,000), respectively, at November 30, 1995.

The Company's primary need for funds is to finance working capital, capital
expenditures and the further development of the Company's Smart Switch business.

Net cash used in operating activities of approximately $529,000 resulted from
the net loss of approximately $365,000 offset by non-cash items including
depreciation and amortization ($127,000) and the amortization of unearned
compensation ($55,000).  In addition, net cash used in operating activities
decreased due to a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of
$361,000.

Net cash used in investing activities in the amount of approximately $329,000
resulted from the acquisition of copiers and accessories.

Cash provided by financing activities amounted to approximately $542,000 during
the three months ended February 29, 1996 primarily as a result of the proceeds
from the exercise of common stock warrants ($1,548,000) offset by the repayment
of bank loans

and capital lease obligations ($957,000) and stockholder's loans ($49,000).

The above resulted in a net decrease in cash of approximately $317,000 for the
three months ended February 29, 1996.
