NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The accompanying unaudited condensed financial
         statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of
         Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes
         which would be presented if such financial statements were prepared in
         accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  These
         statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
         statements presented in the Company's Annual Report or Form 10-K for
         the year ended December 31, 1995.

         In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements
         reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair
         presentation of the financial position and results of operations for
         each of the periods presented.  The results of operations and cash
         flows for such periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be
         expected for the full year.

2.       NET EARNINGS PER SHARE - Net earnings per share are based upon the
         weighted average number of shares outstanding during each of the
         periods.  There is no significant difference between primary and fully
         diluted earnings per share.

3.       STOCK SPLIT - On March 5, 1996 Stockholders authorized an additional
         10,000,000 shares and a three for two stock split. The date of record
         for the stock split was March 20, 1996 and the distribution date was
         April 2, 1996. All outstanding shares, weighted average numbers of
         shares outstanding, and earnings per share calculations in this
         document have been adjusted to reflect the three for two stock split.

</TABLE>


Quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to quarter ended March 31, 1995

Revenues

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 from product sales were
$15,529,000 as compared to $6,737,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, an
increase of $8,792,000 or 131 percent.  Revenues increased as a result
of greater marketing efforts and greater market acceptance of the Company's
products, both domestically and internationally.  International sales accounted
for approximately 39 percent of revenues for the period ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to 25 percent of revenues for the period ended March 31, 1995.
International sales grew as a percentage of sales because of greater marketing
efforts in overseas markets as well as increased sales and marketing resources
put in place by the Company to service overseas markets.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $6,540,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to
$2,477,000 for the same period in 1995, an increase of 164 percent.  Gross
profit as a percentage of revenues increased from 37% to 42% primarily as a
result of lower cost production techniques and improved discounts obtained from
vendors as the Company has increased the volume of its purchases.

Research and Development

Research and development ("R&D") expenses were $1,684,000 and $702,000 and
represented 11 percent and 10 percent respectively of revenues for the quarters
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. The 140 percent increase in R&D spending was
attributable to the continued development of the Company's fiber optic and
networking products, including two-way simultaneous fiber optic transmission
modules, Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Switches and ATM products. Additional costs
were also associated with the hiring of additional research and development
personnel and consultants.  The Company intends to continue to invest in the
research and development of new products.  Management believes that the ability
of the Company to develop and commercialize new products is a key competitive
factor.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased to $2,136,000
for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 from $917,000 for the quarter ended March
31, 1995. The increase was due primarily to increased marketing and personnel
costs, as well as other administrative expenses.  As a percentage of revenues,
SG&A was unchanged at 14 percent.





                                       7

Net Income

Net income increased to $1,879,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996
compared with a net income of $705,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.
This increase of 167 percent is primarily due to substantially increased sales
and higher gross profit margins.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 1996
was $633,000 and $1,449,000 for same period in 1995. The funds were used
primarily in increased research and development, marketing expenses, and
increased inventories and receivables as a result of increased revenues. Net
cash provided by financing activities for the three months ending March 31,
1995 were $9,555,000. The cash provided by financing activities resulted
primarily from the issuance of 1,350,000 shares of common stock at $8.00 per
share less offering costs. Net cash provided by financing activities for the
three months ending March 31, 1996 were $137,000 which resulted primarily from
the issuance of shares upon the exercise of employee incentive stock options.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 1996
was $505,000 and $10,465,000 for the same period in 1995. For the three months
ended March 31, 1996 cash was primarily used to purchase short term investments
and was provided by the release of a portion of the restricted cash used as
security against letters of credit issued by a bank on behalf of the Company.
The cash used in investing activity for the three months ended March 31, 1995
was primarily used to purchase U.S. Government securities.


Effects of Inflation

The Company believes that the relatively moderate rate of inflation over the
past few years has not had a significant impact on the Company's sales or
operating results, or on the prices of raw materials.
