NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In March and June 1999, the Company issued $325,000 and $600,000, respectively,
in principal amount of subordinated convertible debentures to MK GVD Fund under
its 1996 agreement, as amended. On March 31, and June 30, 1999, such debentures
were converted into 16,089 shares of Series T Preferred Stock and 38,961 shares
of Series U Preferred Stock, respectively, and warrants to purchase 40,222 and
97,402 shares of Common Stock, respectively, at exercise prices of $2.53 and
$1.93, respectively. The sales of convertible debentures and preferred stock
were deemed to be exempt from registration under Securities Act in reliance on
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as
transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. 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. MK GVD Fund also agreed to provide
up to an additional $75,000 under the Agreement to the Company, if needed.

NOTE 4 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

For the periods presented, there were no elements of comprehensive income
(loss), except for the net losses.

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, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company intends that such
forward-looking statements are subject to the safe harbors created thereby.
These forward-looking statements include statements relating to (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.

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



                                       5
<PAGE>   6

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 "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, 1998). 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 and six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company had sales of
$2,331,000 and $5,035,000, respectively, compared to sales of $2,234,000 and
$4,061,000, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998. Although
sales for the second quarter of 1999 were impacted by the delay of several
shipments to the third quarter, the increase in sales from 1999 as compared to
1998 is primarily due to an increase in unit sales to an expanded customer base
that has been developed over the last two to three years. 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 72% and 71% for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1999, as compared to 77% and 80% for the comparable
1998 periods. 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 the larger sales volume, and material costs will
decrease as the result of volume purchases.

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999, research and
development expenses were $303,000 and $589,000, respectively, compared to
$357,000 and $652,000 for the comparable period of 1998. These decreases in
expenses are primarily due to a decrease in expenses related to the Orion
Project which was substantially complete by the end of the second quarter of
1998. The Company believes that research and development expenses will remain
relatively constant during the remainder of 1999.

Marketing and sales expenses were $602,000 and $1,110,000 for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $546,000 and $1,008,000 for the
comparable periods in 1998. These increases are primarily due to an increase in
direct selling expenses related to the increase in sales and an increase in
trade show expenses. The Company believes that marketing and sales expenses will
increase moderately during the remainder of 1999 primarily related to increased
direct selling expenses due to an expected increase in revenue.

General and administrative expenses were $278,000 and $548,000 for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 1999, as compared to $262,000 and $512,000 for
the comparable periods in 1998 and are expected to remain relatively constant
during the remainder of 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the six month period ended June 30, 1999, the Company used $345,000 of
cash in operations, primarily to fund operating losses. During the first six
months of 1999, the Company received $925,000 of equity financing from its
largest investor. This largest investor also agreed to provide up to an
additional $75,000 of equity financing to the Company, if needed. The Company
believes that this cash together with borrowing from its 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 1999, 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,
1999 will depend on the Company's ability to significantly increase sales or
raise significant additional equity or debt financing.



                                       6
<PAGE>   7

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.

                                 NINTH AMENDMENT
                                       TO
                    CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

     THIS NINTH AMENDMENT TO CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the
"Amendment") is entered into as of June 30, 1999, by and between DISC, Inc., a
California corporation (the "Company"), and MK GVD Fund (the "Purchaser").

                                R E C I T A L S:

     B.   The Company and Purchaser now seek to amend the Agreement to increase
the total amount of Convertible Debentures which Purchaser agrees to purchase
thereunder.

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is
hereby acknowledged, and in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth
herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1.   DEFINITIONS. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used
