MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

As discussed in Note 2 of the Condensed Notes of the Consolidated Financial
Statements, the Company divested of its Services Division during the second
quarter of 1999. The comments that follow pertain to the Company's continuing
operations.

REVENUE. Revenue from continuing operations increased 32.2% from $6.6 million
during the second quarter of 1998 to $8.7 million during the second quarter of
1999. The Company continued to intensify its focus on the development of
hardware and software for publishing, duplication and network applications
related to the CD-Recordable (CD-R) market with the introduction of the Producer
2000 line which incorporates 8x recording, color printing and enhanced robotics
and software.

For the six months ended June 30, 1999, revenues from continuing operations of
$16.2 million represented a 27.6% increase as compared to revenues from
continuing operations of $12.7 million during the same period in 1998. This
increase is primarily a result of continued increasing demand of CD-R related
products. The Company continued to add to its worldwide distribution network,
which now encompasses 135 channel partners.

As of and for the six months ended June 30, 1999, foreign revenues from
unaffiliated customers, operating earnings, and net identifiable assets were
$5,046,000, $769,000 and $3,373,000, respectively. As of and for the six months
ended June 30, 1998, foreign revenues from unaffiliated customers, operating
earnings, and net identifiable assets were $3,786,000, $542,000, and $2,638,000,
respectively. The growth is due to increasing penetration in the European
markets of sales of CD-R products.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percent of revenues from continuing operations
during the second quarter of 1999 was 47.2% compared to 53.0% during the same
period of 1998. The decrease was due to the Producer 2000 product transition
from a 4x recorder to an 8x recorder as well as a shift in product mix including
stronger sales of lower margin consumables such as media.

Gross profit as a percent of revenues from continuing operations during the six
month period ended June 30, 1999 was 49.0% compared to 52.7% during the same
period of 1998. This decrease is a result of product mix changes.

OPERATING EXPENSE. Operating expense from continuing operations during the
second quarter of 1999 was $2.2 million, or 25.3% of revenues from continuing
operations compared to $2.0 million, or 30.0% of revenues from continuing
operations, during the second quarter of 1998. The decrease in percentage was
primarily a result of increased sales coupled with a decrease in general and
administrative expense attributable to proceeds from a legal settlement during
the second quarter of 1999. Research and development expense as a percent of
revenues from continuing operations increased to 6.7% during the second quarter
of 1999 compared to 6.2% during the same period of 1998. This increase is in
line with the Company's objective to continue to direct more resources to
research and development activities.

Operating expense from continuing operations during the six month period ended
June 30, 1999 was $4.5 million, or 27.5% of revenues from continuing operations
compared to $4.0 million, or 31.7% of revenues from continuing operations,
during the same period of 1998. The decrease in percentage was primarily a
result of increased sales during the six month period ended June 30, 1999.

OTHER INCOME/(EXPENSE). During June 1998, the Company repaid the outstanding
balance of its Term Note with the bank. During the third quarter of 1998, the
Company eliminated debt associated with a capital lease on certain CD-ROM
equipment and renegotiated capital leases which resulted in their
reclassification as operating leases and the elimination of future interest
expense. As a result of these transactions, the Company recognized net interest
income from continuing operations of $80,000 during the second quarter of 1999
and $152,000 during the six month period ended June 30, 1999 on cash
investments. Net interest income (expense) totaled $4,000 and $(39,000) during
the second quarter of 1998 and the six month period ended June 30, 1998,
respectively.

INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes represents federal, state, and
foreign income taxes on earnings before income taxes. Income tax expense for the
second quarter of 1999 amounted to $1,395,000 which included tax expense of
$42,000 related to the operations of the discontinued Services Division, tax
expense of $609,000 related to the gain on the disposal of the Services Division
and tax expense of $744,000 related to the Company's continuing operations.
Income tax expense for the second quarter of 1998 amounted to $347,000 which
included an income tax benefit of $37,000 related to the operations of the
discontinued Services Division and tax expense of $384,000 related to the
Company's continuing operations. Net earnings, excluding the one-time gain from
the disposal of the Services Division, are reflected at a fully taxed rate of
38% for the second quarter of 1999 compared to 25% for 1998. This is due to the
reversal of the valuation allowance during 1998 since, with the continued
earnings, management has determined it more likely than not the deferred tax
asset will be realized.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Income tax expense for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 amounted to
$2,070,000 which included tax expense of $105,000 related to the operations of
the discontinued Services Division, tax expense of $609,000 related to the gain
on the disposal of the Services Division and tax expense of $1,356,000 related
to the Company's continuing operations. Income tax expense for the six month
period ended June 30, 1998 amounted to $520,000 which included an income tax
benefit of $16,000 related to the operations of the discontinued Services
Division and tax expense of $536,000 related to the Company's continuing
operations.

INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS. The significant increase in revenue derived
from CD-R related product sales combined with only marginal increases in
operating expense to support those revenues, caused income from continuing
operations to increase to $1.3 million in the second quarter of 1999 and to $2.3
million for the six month period ended June 30, 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company expects to fund its anticipated cash requirements (including the
anticipated cash requirements of its capital expenditures) with internally
generated funds and, if required, from the Company's existing credit agreement.

Current assets are $19,463,000 as of June 30, 1999 as compared to $15,269,000 as
of December 31, 1998. The allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of
receivables was 3% as of June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998. Current
liabilities increased approximately 21% to $5,426,000 as of June 30, 1999 from
$4,502,000 as of December 31, 1998, reflecting the increase in income taxes
payable netted with normal reductions in accounts payable.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $4,017,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 from $2,530,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1998. This increase is the result of increased earnings during the six month
period ended June 30, 1999 combined with an increase in income taxes payable.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $92,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 compared to $49,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998. At
June 30, 1999, the Company had no significant commitments to purchase additional
capital equipment. Net cash provided by financing activities of $196,000 during
the six months ended June 30, 1999 primarily reflected stock option proceeds.
Net cash used in financing activities of $151,000 during the six months ended
June 30, 1998 principally reflect repayments of debt under the credit agreement.

The Company believes that inflation has not had a material impact on its
operations or liquidity to date.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

YEAR 2000 READINESS

The Company believes the approach of the Year 2000 could have a material effect
on the Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition if it
were not able to avoid the related consequences. To mitigate these potential
consequences, the Company has identified the following areas as requiring
significant analysis: 1) manufactured products, 2) information technology
applications, 3) information technology end user supported applications, 4)
information technology infrastructure, 5) business partners - both vendors and
customers, 6) manufacturing equipment, 7) facility operations (non-information
technology systems). The Company has also identified five phases associated with
each area described above as follows: 1) awareness - educating all levels of the
Company about the importance of Year 2000 readiness; 2) assessment - identify
all electronic systems which are date-sensitive and assess which systems are not
Year 2000 ready; 3) renovation - develop a strategy to repair, replace or retire
the system; 4) validation - testing of changed programs and date files to ensure
they are Year 2000 ready; and 5) implementation - placing the renovated and
validated systems into everyday use. Currently, the Company is in the renovation
and validation phases of its plan to prepare itself for the Year 2000. The
Company anticipates completion of its final phase (the Implementation phase) by
the end of September 1999.

Through June 30, 1999, the Company has incurred costs of approximately $105,000
directly attributable to addressing Year 2000 issues. The Company estimates the
remaining costs that will be incurred in connection with its analysis of Year
2000 issues to be approximately $5,000. The following are some of its most
reasonably likely worst case Year 2000 scenarios the Company has identified: 1)
The Company's manufacturing operations consist primarily of the assembly of
products from components purchased from third parties. While some parts are
stock "off the shelf" components, others are manufactured to the Company's
specifications. Although the Company believes it has identified alternative
assembly contractors for most of its subassemblies, an actual change in such
contractors, as a result of an inability to work with such contractor due to
Year 2000 consequences they face, would likely require a period of training and
testing. Accordingly, an interruption in a supply relationship or the production
capacity of one or more of such contractors could result in the Company's
inability to deliver one or more products for a period of several months. 2) The
Company sells most of its manufactured systems through a limited number of
authorized distributor wholesalers, who in turn provide warehousing,
distribution, and credit to a network of authorized value added resellers. The
interruption of product flow to one or more of these distributors due to their
inability to process date sensitive information could result in lower than
normal sales revenues. To alleviate this decrease, the Company would redirect
these sales to the remaining distributors and/or sell directly to its value
added resellers.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

NEW EUROPEAN CURRENCY

On January 1, 1999, eleven of the fifteen member countries of the European Union
established fixed conversion rates between their existing currencies and the
euro, a new European currency, and adopted the euro as their common legal
currency (the "Euro Conversion"). Either the euro or a participating country's
present currency will be accepted as legal tender from January 1, 1999 to
January 1, 2002, from which date forward only the euro will be accepted.

The Company has customers located in European Union countries participating in
the Euro Conversion. Such customers will likely have to upgrade or modify their
computer systems and software to comply with the euro requirements. The amount
of money the Company anticipates spending in connection with product development
related to the Euro Conversion is not expected to have a material adverse effect
on the Company's results of operations or financial condition. The Euro
Conversion may also have competitive implications for the Company's pricing and
marketing strategies, which could be material in nature; however, any such
impact is not known at this time.

The Company has also modified its internal systems (such as payroll, accounting
and financial reporting to deal with the Euro Conversion. There is no assurance,
however, that all problems related to the Euro Conversion will be foreseen and
corrected, or that no material disruptions of the Company's business will occur.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133), effective in 2001,
established new standards for recognizing all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities, and measuring those instruments at fair value. At the present time,
the Company does not anticipate that SFAS No. 133 will have a material impact on
its financial position or results of operations.

MARKET RISK DISCLOSURE

The Company does not invest in any derivative financial instruments. See the
Company's most recent annual report filed on form 10K (Item 7A.). There has been
no material change in this information.

            otherwise, of Seller by reason of this Agreement, or any of the

            has provided customers with certain warranties on Seller's products
            sold by Seller, the parties agree that it is in the best interests
            of both parties that Buyer honor such warranties. Buyer agrees that
            in the event it performs warranty work for customers of Seller, it
            shall perform such warranty services and repairs in compliance with
            the terms of Seller's written warranties in accordance with this
            Section. Seller agrees to reimburse Buyer for such written warranty
            work for a period of twelve (12) months from the Date of Closing,
            provided, however, Buyer must notify Seller and receive Seller's
            approval within three (3) business days of Seller receiving Buyers
            notice prior to beginning any such written warranty work, but such
            approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Seller shall reimburse
            Buyer within thirty (30) days of receipt of Buyer's invoice for the
            costs incurred for performing said warranty work. All warranty work
            and repair reimbursement requests must be supported by
            documentation.

and binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
Arbitration proceedings may be initiated by any party hereto or to the Agreement
upon notice to the other parties and to the American Arbitration Association and

Arbitration Association in Minneapolis, Minnesota; provided, however, that the
parties may agree following the giving of such notice to have the arbitration
proceedings conducted by a single arbitrator. The notice must specify in general

days after delivery to each party hereto of the list as proposed by the American
Arbitration Association, then at the request of any party to such proceeding,

Association. Where the arbitrators shall determine that an arbitration
proceeding was commenced by a party frivolously or without a basis, or primarily
for the purpose of harassment or delay, the arbitrators may assess such party
the cost of such proceedings including reasonable attorneys' fees of any other
party. In all other cases, each party to the arbitration proceeding shall bear

imposed for the sale/purchase of the Assets.

            13.3 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor the rights, duties or
obligations arising hereunder shall be assignable or delegable by either party
without the express prior written consent of the other. All the terms and
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by Buyer and Seller and their respective permitted successors
and assigns.

            13.4 Parties in Interest. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express
or implied, is intended to confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of
this Agreement on any persons other than Buyer and Seller and their respective
permitted successors and assigns, nor is anything in this Agreement intended to
relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any third persons to any
party to this Agreement, nor shall any provisions give any third persons any
right of subrogation or action over or against any party to this Agreement.

             COMPUTATION OF NET EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

Basic net earnings per common share is determined by dividing net earnings by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, unless the
result is anti-dilutive. Diluted net earnings per common share is determined by
dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
and assumed conversion shares outstanding, unless the result is anti-dilutive.
The following is a summary of the weighted average common shares outstanding and
assumed conversion shares:
