                                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                                                (UNAUDITED)



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.


2.  LOAN PAYABLE, BANK
    AND CAPITAL LEASE 
    OBLIGATIONS             On December 19, 1995, with the proceeds from
                            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.

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.  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 development of the Smart Switch operation,including  the opening
of an office in Europe.

               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.




<PAGE>


          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.
