CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - GENERAL
The unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of
management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial
position, operating results and cash flows for those periods presented. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, included in
the Company's Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other
period or for the fiscal year, which ends December 31, 1998.
NOTE 2 - INVENTORIES
The components of inventory were as follows:

</TABLE>
NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In February 1998, the Company issued and sold 1,320,755 shares of Series O
Preferred Stock at $1.06 per share and 330,188 Common Stock Purchase Warrants to
Mk GVD Fund for total consideration of $1,400,000.
In March 1998, the Company received $300,000 through the issuance of
subordinated convertible debentures under its 1996 agreement (the "Agreement"),
as amended, with its largest shareholder. The largest shareholder also agreed to
provide up to an additional $300,000 under the Agreement to the Company, if
needed. The conversion price of the debentures is 85% of the lower of the
average closing price of the Company's Common Stock for the five trading days
ended three days prior to the end of the quarter or the closing bid price on the
last day of the quarter in which the convertible debentures are issued.
NOTE 4 - NET LOSS PER SHARE
Options and warrants to purchase shares, and Convertible Preferred Stock
outstanding were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share,
as their effect was antidilutive for the periods presented. Therefore, both the
basic and diluted net loss per share computations resulted in the same number
and there were no reconciling items.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
This Quarterly Report on 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 Exchange 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
increased sales, (iii) potential future decreases in manufacturing costs, and
(iv) the need for, and availability of, additional financing. For this purpose,
any statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q except for
historical information may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may", "will", "expect",
"believe", "anticipate", "intend", "could", "estimate", or "continue" or the
negative or other variations thereof, or comparable terminology are intended to
identify forward-looking statements.
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
5
<PAGE> 6
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 "Additional Factors that May Affect Future
Operating Results" on page 6 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1997). 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
For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company had sales of $1,827,000
compared to sales of $1,701,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1997.
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,
management believes that the sales increase was hampered somewhat by the Asian
market softness and the impending changeover to a new generation of optical
drives which caused some customers to delay their orders until the new drives
are available. 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 84% for the three month period
ended March 31, 1998, as compared to 83% for the comparable 1997 period. The
Company's relatively low gross margins reflect the Company's low levels of net
sales, which have resulted in unabsorbed manufacturing costs and high costs of
materials due to the inability to achieve purchasing economies of scale. The
Company expects that, as product sales continue to increase, costs of sales per
unit of product will decrease because fixed manufacturing costs will be
distributed over a larger sales volume, and material costs will decrease as a
result of volume purchases.
For the three month period ended March 31, 1998, research and development
expenses were $295,000 compared to $320,000 for the comparable period of 1997.
This decrease is primarily due a decrease in project material related to the
Company's next generation product line that was recently completed. The Company
believes that research and development expenses will increase moderately in 1998
due to new projects currently under development.
Marketing and sales expenses remained flat at $462,000 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1998 as compared to $460,000 for the comparable period in
1997. The Company believes that marketing and sales expenses will increase
moderately during the remainder of 1998 primarily related to increased direct
selling expenses due to an expected increase in revenue.
General and administrative expenses were $250,000 for the three month period
ended March 31, 1998, compared to $240,000 for the comparable period in 1997 and
are expected to remain relatively constant during the remainder of 1998.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the three month period ended March 31, 1998, the Company used $999,000 of
cash in operations, primarily to fund operating losses. During the first quarter
of 1998, the Company received $1,700,000 of equity financing from its largest
investor. The largest investor also agreed to provide up to an additional
$300,000 of equity financing to the Company, if needed. 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 1998, 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, 1998, 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.

This Agreement is made effective as of February 20 1998, by and between
DISC, INC., a California corporation (the "Company"), and each of the persons

THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF SERIES O PREFERRED STOCK.
1.1 Sale and Issuance of Series O Preferred Stock.
(a) The Company shall file with the California Secretary
of State on or before the First Closing (as defined below) the Certificate of

Purchaser at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.2, 1,320,755 shares of the
Company's Series O Preferred Stock (the "Shares") for a purchase price of
$1,400,000. In addition, for each four (4) Shares of Preferred Stock purchased
by each Purchaser, such Purchaser shall also be entitled to purchase one (1)
warrant to purchase one (1) share of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to the
terms and conditions set forth in Section 1.4 below (collectively, the
"Warrants"). Any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares

Common Stock are sometimes herein referred to collectively as the "Securities."
(c) The Company will, prior to the First Closing,
authorize and reserve, and covenants to continue to reserve, free of preemptive
rights and other preferential rights, a sufficient number of its previously
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to satisfy the rights of
conversion of the Shares and exercise of the Warrants.
1.2 Closing. Each Purchaser agrees to purchase at the Closing (as
hereinafter defined) the number of Shares and Warrants subscribed by such
Purchaser as set forth in Section 1.1 at the offices of Stradling Yocca Carlson

Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a stock certificate or stock
certificates registered in such Purchaser's name evidencing the shares of Series
O Preferred Stock which such Purchaser is purchasing at the First
<PAGE> 5
Closing, and a Warrant certificate or certificates evidencing the Warrants which
such Purchaser is purchasing at the First Closing, against delivery to the
Company by such Purchaser of a wire transfer or a cashier's check in the amount
of the purchase price therefor payable to the Company's order.
1.3 Warrants. Each Purchaser shall purchase and the Company shall
sell and issue to each Purchaser one (1) warrant to purchase one (1) share of

exercise price for Warrants issued at the Closing shall be One and 33/100

together with statements of income and cash flows for the fiscal year then
ended, (collectively, the "Financial Statements") heretofore delivered to

regulations of the Commission promulgated under the Securities Act and the

good and marketable title to its properties and assets, and good title to all
its leasehold estates, in each case subject to no mortgage, pledge, lien, lease,
encumbrance, or charge, other than (a) liens resulting from taxes which have not

such leases in all material respects.
2.10 Patents, Trademarks, etc. To the best of its knowledge, the
Company owns and possesses or is licensed under all patents, patent
applications, licenses, trademarks, service marks, trade names, inventions,
processes, formulae, trade secrets, franchises, copyrights and other proprietary
rights necessary for the operation of its business as now conducted and as

rights of others. To the best of its knowledge and belief, such ownership,
possession or license is exclusive and not subject to termination without the

business or financial condition of the Company. The execution, delivery, and
performance of and compliance with this Agreement, and the issuance and sale of
the Shares and the Warrants pursuant hereto and the Underlying Common Stock
pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation and the Warrants, will not result in
any violation of any term of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the
Company, or any material mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, instrument,
judgment, decree or order, or be in conflict with or constitute a default under
any such term, or result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien,
encumbrance, or charge upon any of the properties or assets of the Company; and
there is no term of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or
any material mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, instrument, judgment,
decree or order which materially adversely affects, or, so far as the Company
may now reasonably foresee, in the future may materially adversely affect the
business, operations or financial condition of the Company.
2.12 Litigation, etc. Except as set forth in the Schedule of
Exceptions, there are no actions, proceedings, or investigations before any
court, or administrative agency pending or, to the best of the Company's
knowledge, currently threatened against or with respect to the Company (or any
basis therefor known to the Company), which question the validity of this
Agreement or any action taken or to be taken in connection herewith, or which,
either individually or in the aggregate, might result in a material adverse
change in the business, prospects, conditions, affairs, or operations of the
Company or in any of its properties or assets, or in any material impairment of
the right or ability of the Company to carry on its business as now conducted or
as proposed to be conducted, or in any material liability on the part of the
Company. The Company is not a party or subject to, and none of its assets are

customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other entities.

Shares into and/or exercise the Warrants for, Underlying Common Stock, and to
carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement.

executed and delivered by it, and, upon due execution and delivery by the
Company, this Agreement will be a valid and binding obligation of it.
3.3 Investment Representations.
(a) It is acquiring the Shares and Warrants and will
acquire the Underlying Common Stock for its own account, not as nominee or
agent, for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with,
any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning of the 1933 Act.
(b) It understands that (i) the Shares, the Warrants and
the Underlying Common Stock have not been registered under the 1933 Act by
reason of a specific exemption therefrom, that they must be held by it
indefinitely, and that it must, therefore, bear the economic risk of such
investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered
under the 1933 Act or is exempt from such registration; (ii) each certificate
representing the Shares and the Underlying Common Stock will be endorsed with
the following legend:
"THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "1933 ACT"), AND MAY NOT BE
SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED
6
<PAGE> 10
OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS RULE 144 IS AVAILABLE OR THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE 1933 ACT COVERING SUCH SECURITIES OR
THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THESE
SECURITIES REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, STATING THAT SUCH
SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE
REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF THE 1933 ACT."
and (iii) the Company will instruct any transfer agent not to register
the transfer of any of the Shares or the Underlying Common Stock unless the
conditions specified in the foregoing legend are satisfied; provided, however,
that no such opinion of counsel shall be necessary if the sale, transfer or
assignment is made pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act and Purchaser
provides the Company with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company and
its counsel that the proposed transaction satisfies the requirements of Rule
144. The Company agrees to remove the foregoing legend from any securities if
the requirements of Rule 144(k) under the 1933 Act (or any successor rule or
regulation) apply with respect to such securities and the Company and its
counsel are provided with reasonably satisfactory evidence that the requirements
of Rule 144(k) apply.
(c) It is an investor in securities of companies in the
development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear
the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in
financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of the investment in the Shares and the Underlying Common Stock.
(d) It is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of
SEC Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect.
(e) It understands that the Shares it is purchasing and
any Underlying Common Stock issued upon the conversion thereof are characterized
as "restricted securities" under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they
are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public
offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may
be resold without registration under the 1933 Act, only in certain limited
circumstances, and it represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as
presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and
by the 1933 Act.
(f) Purchaser was not formed for the specific purpose of
acquiring the Shares and the Underlying Common Stock offered hereunder.
(g) Its principal business address is as set forth in
Section 5.8 hereto.
