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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SIX MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1996 COMPARED TO THE
SIX MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1995

Sales declined approximately $447,000 or 13% for the six months ended May 31,
1996 compared to the six months ended May 31, 1995. This decline was the result
of the loss of certain of the Company's customers, and the elimination of non-
profitable accounts offset by the additions of a university and a major library
system 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 75.6% of sales for the six months ended May 31, 1996
compared to 68.7% of sales for the same period in 1995. The increase is
primarily attributed 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  $159,000 for the six
months ended May 31, 1996 compared to the six months ended May 31, 1995 as a
result of certain of the Company's equipment becoming fully depreciated offset
in part by recently purchased equipment.  In addition, certain of the Company's
consulting agreements were fully amortized in 1995.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to approximately
$1,022,000 or 34.5% of sales for the six months ended May 31, 1996 from
approximately $971,000 or 28.6% of sales for the six months ended May 31, 1995. 
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended May 31,
1996 include certain expenses incurred in connection with the marketing,
promotion, and 





















<PAGE>
development of the Smart Switch operation, including the opening of an office in
Europe (approximately $244,000).

Interest expense decreased approximately $56,000 for the six months ended May
31, 1996 compared to the six months ended May 31,1995 as a result of the
Company's paying off all outstanding bank indebtedness in December 1995.
During the six months ended May 31, 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
perform his obligations pursuant to the agreement.

The above resulted in a net loss of approximately $629,000 for the six months
ended May 31, 1996 compared to a net loss of approximately $2,066,000 for the
six months ended May 31, 1995.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1996 COMPARED TO THE
THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1995

Sales declined approximately $278,000 for the three months ended May 31, 1996
($1,622,000) compared to the three months ended May 31, 1995 ($1,900,000). This
is a decrease of approximately 15%.  The decrease was attributable to the same
reasons as detailed in the six-months comparisons.

Cost of sales increased approximately 7% for the three month period ended May
31, 1996 compared to 1995 .  This is consistent with the increase in costs, as
mentioned previously, over the comparable six month period.  The Company is
continually monitoring its purchasing with a view toward obtaining more
competitive pricing and wherever possible using "generic brands" of supplies
instead of "name brands".   

Depreciation and amortization decreased approximately $12,000 compared to 1995.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of sales
from approximately $591,000 in 1995 (31% of sales) to $575,000 (35% of sales). 
This increase was mainly due to an increase in professional and consulting fees
and an increase in administrative salaries.

Interest expense decreased approximately $27,000 due to the retirement of bank
debt. 
 
The above resulted in a net loss of approximately $262,700 compared to net loss
$111,700 in 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At May 31, 1996, the Company had cash and a working capital (deficiency) of
$217,000 and ($827,000) respectively, as compared to  $1,001,000 and
($1,254,000), respectively at November 30, 1995.





















<PAGE>
The Company's primary need for funds is to finance working capital, capital
expenditures and the further development company's Smart Switch business.
          
Net cash used in operating activities of approximately $558,000 resulted from
the net loss of approximately $629,000 offset by non-cash items including
depreciation and amortization of $325,000. In addition, net cash used in
operating activities
increased due to a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of
$298,000.

Net cash used in investing activities in the amount of approximately $762,000
resulted from the acquisition of copiers and accessories.

Cash provided by financing activities amounted to approximately $534,000 during
the six-months ended May 31, 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
($64,000).

The above resulted in a net decrease in cash of approximately $785,000 for the
six months ended May 31, 1996.

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION          The consolidated balance sheet as of May 31,
                                   1996 and the related consolidated statements
                                   of operations and cash flows for the six and
                                   three month periods ended May 31, 1996 and
                                   1995 are unaudited.  In the opinion of
                                   management, all adjustments (which include
                                   only normally recurring adjustments)
                                   necessary for a fair presentation of such
                                   financial statements have been made.

                                   The November 30, 1995 balance sheet data was
                                   derived from audited financial statements but
                                   does not include all disclosures required by
                                   generally accepted accounting principles. 
                                   The interim financial statements and notes
                                   thereto should be read in conjunction with
                                   the financial statements and notes included
                                   in the Company's latest annual report on Form
                                   10-KSB.  The results of operations for the
                                   six month period ended May 31, 1996 are not
                                   necessarily indicative of the operating
                                   results for the entire year.

                                   the exercise of its common stock warrants
                                   (See Note 3), the Company paid off its loan
                                   payable and capital lease obligations in
                                   full.

3.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY           In December, 1995, the Company received
                                   approximately $1,548,000 in connection with
                                   the exercise of its remaining outstanding
                                   common stock warrants, resulting in the
                                   issuance of 688,130 shares of common stock.
