Interim Period Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Certain information
normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles has been condensed or omitted pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and
these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
unaudited Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 1998. In the opinion of
management, the accompanying condensed financial statements reflect all material
adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position and results of operations and cash flows as of and for the thirteen and
thirty-nine week periods ending September 26, 1999.

New Accounting Pronouncements

The FASB has recently issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities--Deferral of
the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 133)" (SFAS 137), which
amended SFAS 133 to be effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2000.

the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Likelihood of Need to Seek Protection Under Bankruptcy Laws

The Company continues to incur significant losses with quarterly sales
significantly below historical levels and those levels required for
profitability. Sales have continually declined in light of significant
competition, price pressures and the uncertainty on the part of potential
customers over the financial condition of the Company. Further, the Company has
been unable to raise alternative sources of funding to fund operating losses.
All of these factors have had a material impact on the Company and its results
of operation. As of the date of this filing, the Company's liabilities
significantly exceed its assets. The Company's liquidity position continues to
be severely constrained. As a result of the Company's severe liquidity problems,
the Company is unable to pay its trade debt on a timely basis. The Company has
sought and has been unable to obtain a forbearance agreement with its creditors.
In the event the Company is unable to obtain some sort of agreement with the
secured and/or unsecured creditors and immediate
                                                                               6

funding, it will be unable to operate as a going concern and will likely seek
protection under the Federal bankruptcy laws.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FOR THE THIRTY-NINE WEEK PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 26, 1999 AND SEPTEMBER 26, 1998

Net Sales

Net sales were $8,248 thousand and $5,311 thousand for the thirty-nine week
period ended September 26, 1998 and September 26, 1999, respectively,
representing a year-to-year decrease of 36%. The decrease in sales is primarily
attributable to decreased unit sales as a result of increased competition, the
Company's inability to acquire products for sale because of the Company's lack
of financial resources and the discontinuance of certain of the Company's legacy
products. Virtually all of the Company's vendors will only sell to the Company
on a prepay basis. The second quarter of 1999 continues to be adversely affected
by significant declines in the prices of disk drives, continued uncertainty
among customers created by the news of the Company's operational and financial
difficulties, and the Company's inability to purchase product because of its
financial condition.

Gross Profit (Loss)

Gross profit decreased from $1,902 thousand for the thirty-nine week period
ended September 26, 1998, to a gross profit of $732 thousand for the thirty-nine
week period ended September 26, 1999. The decrease in gross profit was primarily
attributed to the decrease in sales. The lack of funding for adequate marketing
has severely crippled the Company's ability to promote new sales.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,513 thousand and $2,358
thousand in the thirty-nine week period ended September 26, 1998 and September
26, 1999, respectively, and represented 55% and 44% of net sales. The decreases
in expenditures resulted primarily from reduced advertising and promotional
expenditures and the continued reduction of Company personnel.

Research and Development

The Company did not incur any Research and Development expenses during the
thirty-nine week period ending September 26, 1998 and September 26, 1999. In
late 1997, the Company was forced to abandon the research and development and
manufacturing facility located in Colorado Springs, Colorado due to increased
financial problems and decreased working capital.

                                                                               7

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FOR THE THIRTEEN-WEEK PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 26, 1999 AND SEPTEMBER 26, 1998

Net Sales

Net sales were $2,374 thousand and $1,908 thousand for the thirteen-week period
ended September 26, 1998 and September 26, 1999, respectively, representing a
year-to-year decrease of 20%. The decrease in sales is primarily attributable to
decreased unit sales as a result of increased competition, the Company's
inability to acquire products for sale because of the Company's lack of
financial resources and the discontinuance of certain of the Company's legacy
products. Virtually all of the Company's vendors will only sell to the Company
on a prepay basis. The second quarter of 1999 continues to be adversely affected
by significant declines in the prices of disk drives, continued uncertainty
among customers created by the news of the Company's operational and financial
difficulties, and the Company's inability to purchase product because of its
financial condition.

Gross Profit (Loss)

Gross profit decreased from $545 thousand for the thirteen-week period ended
September 26, 1998, to a gross profit of $270 thousand for the thirteen week
period ended September 26, 1999. The decrease in gross profit was primarily
attributed to the decrease in sales. The lack of funding for adequate marketing
has severely crippled the Company's ability to promote new sales.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,325 thousand and $765
thousand in the thirteen week period ended September 26, 1998 and September 26,
1999, respectively, and represented 56% and 40% of net sales. The decreases in
expenditures resulted primarily from reduced advertising and promotional
expenditures and the continued reduction of Company personnel.

Research and Development

The Company did not incur any Research and Development expenses during the
thirteen-week period ending September 26, 1998 and September 26, 1999. In late
1997, the Company was forced to abandon the research and development and
manufacturing facility located in Colorado Springs, Colorado due to increased
financial problems and decreased working capital.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents of $406 thousand at September 26, 1999 were $84
thousand higher than the $322 thousand balance at December 26, 1998.

The Company's liquidity position continues to be severely constrained. The
Company's revolving line of credit agreement with a lender, collateralized by
substantially all assets of the Company, and expired on September 30, 1999. The
Company is currently in default under the
                                                                               8
<PAGE>

agreement pertaining to its secured line of credit. There is no forbearance
agreement in place with the Company's secured lender, although then lender has
continued to provide advances to the Company under the line of credit. While the
lender has cooperated so far with the Company's efforts to meet its ongoing
working capital requirements, there can be no assurance that such cooperation
will continue. In the event that the Company is declared in default under the
line of credit by the lender and demand for payment is made, the Company would
be unable to make such payment, would be unable to continue to operate as a
going concern, and would be forced to seek protection under the federal
bankruptcy laws

Borrowings under the line of credit totaled $5,503 thousand at December 26, 1998
and $7,260 thousand at September 26, 1999.

In the event that the Company is unable to locate a financial partner or other
sources of immediate funding to meet its current cash needs, it will be unable
to continue to operate as a going concern and will likely be required to seek
protection under the Federal bankruptcy laws.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents. At
September 26, 1999, the carrying value of the Company's financial instruments
approximated their fair values based on current market prices and rates.

It is the Company's policy not to enter into derivative financial instruments.
The Company does not currently have and significant foreign currency exposure
since it does not transact business in foreign currencies. As a result, the
Company does not have significant overall currency exposure at September 26,
1999. The Company's market risk disclosures are not material and are therefore
not required.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

A complaint was filed against two former officers of the Company alleging that
the officers took actions which unlawfully deprived Coast Business Credit of
certain assets of the Company in which Coast Business Credit had a security
interest, or which actions otherwise violated the terms of agreements between
the Company and Coast Business Credit. The complaint was filed in the Orange
County Superior Court under the name Coast Business Credit v. Campbell, et al,
Case Number 787394.

These officers in turn filed a complaint against the Company claiming a right to
defense and indemnity under the terms of the Company's bylaws and under the
terms of their employment agreements. The Company has filed an answer to this
complaint for indemnity, however it does not have the resources to provide any
defense or indemnity at this time. The former officers made a motion for
issuance of an order of attachment to themselves and which they contend they are
contractually entitled to recover from the Company. At this time the outcome of
this proceeding cannot be predicted with certainty

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal
course of business. The outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted with
certainty.
