NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

       In March 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with one of its
       shareholders whereby the Company issued 47,500 shares of Series G
       Preferred Stock at $20.00 per share which will raise approximately
       $950,000 net of expenses. Each share is convertible into 10 shares of
       Common Stock, subject to an adjustment for dilution, at the sole option
       of the holder.

       Each share of Series G Preferred Stock has the number of votes equal to
       the number of shares of Common Stock into which it is then convertible.

       In addition, holders of Series G Preferred Stock received five redeemable
       Common Stock Purchase Warrants for every two shares of Series G
       purchased. The Warrants expire five years from the date of issuance and
       entitle the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise
       price of $2.50 per share, subject to adjustment for dilution.

       Upon liquidation, holders of Series G Preferred Stock are entitled to
       receive $20.00 per share.

       The holders of Series G Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when and
       if declared by the Board of Directors, dividends at ten times the amount
       per share as declared on the Company's Common Stock.


<PAGE>   6
       The issuance of the Series G Preferred Stock triggered the anti-dilution
       provisions of the Series E and Series F Preferred Stock. Because there
       were insufficient shares of authorized and unissued Series E and Series F
       Preferred Stock to fulfill the anti-dilution requirements, holders of
       Series E Preferred Stock received 50,000 shares of Series G Preferred
       Stock and holders of Series F Preferred Stock received an additional
       93,750 shares of Series F and 12,500 shares of Series G Preferred Stock.
       Series E Preferred Stock has no further anti-dilution rights and the
       Series F anti-dilution rights will expire in September 1996.

       The Company has reserved sufficient shares of Common Stock to allow for
       the conversion of all outstanding Series C, Series D, Series E, 
       Series F and Series G Preferred Stock.

       Also in March 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with one of its
       shareholders to issue subordinated convertible debentures in the
       aggregate principal amount of $1,400,000. At June 30, 1996, September 30,
       1996 and December 31, 1996 the debentures issued during the quarter
       ending on such dates will convert to preferred stock in amounts to be
       determined and at a price per share based on the average closing price of
       the Company's Common Stock for the five trading days prior to the
       conversion date.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

This Form 10-Q contains certain forward looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Act
of 1934 and the Company intends that such forward-looking statements are subject
to the safe harbors created thereby. These forward-looking statements include
(i) the existence and development of the Company's technical and manufacturing
capabilities, (ii) anticipated competition, (iii) potential future decreases in
costs, and (iv) the need for, and availability of, additional financing.

The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations
that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking
statements are based on assumptions regarding the Company's business, which
involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic,
competitive and market conditions, and future business decisions, all of which
are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond
the control of the Company. Although the Company believes that the assumptions
underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions
could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the
results contemplated in forward-looking statements will be realized. In
addition, the business and operations of the Company are subject to substantial
risks which increase the uncertainty inherent in such forward-looking statements
(see "Certain Considerations" on page 5 of the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995). In light of the significant
uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included herein, the
inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the
Company or any other person that the objectives or plans of the Company will be
achieved.

Results of Operations
- - ----------------------

The Company had sales of $1,402,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, as
compared to $1,345,000 in the first quarter of 1995. This increase was primarily
due to sales to an expanded customer base as a result of an increase in the
Company's direct sales personnel. However, in the first quarter of 1996, sales
continued to be affected by the federal government shutdown which stalled the
sales of several large capacity units. The general sales cycles for distribution
of the Company's products are similar to those of most businesses selling
products designed for use as part of large systems, and range from three to six
months for Value Added Resellers and small System Integrators and from one to
two years for Original Equipment Manufacturers, Product Integrators and large
System Integrators.

Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, was 96% in the first quarter of 1996,
as compared to 74% in the first quarter of 1995. Cost of sales in the first
quarter of 1996 was principally impacted by a shift in product mix towards
higher sales of smaller capacity units which have lower margins than the larger
capacity units. This shift was due in part to the federal government shutdown
which stalled several sales of large capacity units. In addition, in the first
quarter of 1996 as compared to the first quarter of 1995, gross margins were
also affected by an increase in manufacturing engineering personnel to allow for
a shift of sustaining product responsibility from research and development to
manufacturing. The Company's relatively low gross margin in the first quarters
of 1996 and 1995 reflected the early stages of the Company's operations. This
has resulted in unabsorbed manufacturing costs and high costs of materials due
to the inability to achieve purchasing economies of scale due to low sales
volume. The Company expects that, as product sales increase, costs of sales per
unit of product willdecrease because fixed manufacturing costs will be
distributed over the larger sales volume, and material costs will decrease as
the result of volume purchases.

Research and development expenses were $283,000 in the first quarter of 1996 as
compared to $324,000 in the first quarter of 1995. The primary reason for the
decrease in the first quarter of 1996 as compared to the first quarter of 1995
was a decrease in spending on temporary labor. The Company has restructured its
research and development group and is focused on building core competencies
internally. The Company believes that research and development expenses will
increase in 1996 due to current projects under consideration.

<PAGE>   8
Marketing and sales expenses were $444,000 in the first quarter of 1996 as
compared to $318,000 in the first quarter of 1995. The primary reason for the
increase was the hiring of additional marketing and sales personnel and an
increase in the support of our customer evaluation program. The Company believes
that marketing and sales expenses will continue to increase in connection with
the Company's continued efforts to achieve market acceptance of its products.

General and administrative expenses were $252,000 in the first quarter of 1996
as compared to $302,000 in the first quarter of 1995. The primary reason for the
decrease in expenses was due to a decrease in legal expenses related to
litigation that was resolved in 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - --------------------------------

In the first quarter of 1996, the Company used $973,000 of cash in operations,
primarily to fund operating losses. In March 1996, the Company raised $950,000
through the issuance of Series G Preferred Stock. Also in March 1996, the
Company entered into an agreement to raise an additional $1,400,000 through the
issuance of subordinated convertible debentures. The Company believes that this
cash together with borrowing from the credit line, which allows it to borrow the
lesser of $1,500,000 or 80% of eligible receivables, and cash generated from
operations will be sufficient to meet its operating requirements at least
through the end of 1996, although the Company anticipates that it will continue
to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. The ability to sustain its
operations for a significant period after December 31, 1996, will depend on the
Company's ability to significantly increase sales or raise significant
additional equity or debt financing. There is no assurance that any of these
conditions will be achieved. In particular, the Company expects to require
increasing amounts of cash to finance the Company's efforts to increase sales,
which the Company plans to achieve by increasing selling efforts to large system
integrators and OEMs by hiring additional sales and sales support staff and by
making evaluation units available. In addition, the Company intends to expand
its current network of resellers. The Company expects that it will require cash
to finance purchases of inventory to satisfy anticipated increased sales as the
Company's products achieve market acceptance.

Although the Company has not committed to make any material capital
expenditures, the budget for capital equipment epxenditures for the remainder of
1996 is approximately $340,000. The majority of these purchases are expected to
be in the areas of process and molding tooling to improve the cost and
producibility of the Company's products.

The terms of the Series C Preferred Stock and outstanding warrants may limit the
availability of financing for the Company, particularly equity financing.
Holders of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends
in the amount of approximately $112,000 per year. The Company has never paid
cash dividends and has no present plans to pay dividends.
