It is anticipated that a significant change in the results of operations
from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected
by the earnings statement to be included in the subject Form 10-QSB. It
is anticipated that consolidated net loss for the three and six month
periods ended December 31, 1996 will be approximately $825,000 and
$1,270,000, respectively, as compared to a consolidated net loss of
approximately $75,000 and $470,000 for the three and six month periods
ended December 31, 1995. These results are largly due to a significant
decrease in revenues from computer product sales and rentals in the
current fiscal periods over similar periods in the prior fiscal year. It
is anticipated that revenues from computer product sales and rentals for
the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1996 will be
approximately $4,340,000 and $9,140,000, respectively, as compared to
approximately $7,330,000 and $13,800,000 for the three and six month
