1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation
S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included.  These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
audited financial statements included in the Company's 1996 Annual Report.
Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1997 or any interim period.

3.   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new
accounting pronouncement, SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share", which will change
the current method of computing earnings per share.  The new standard requires
presentation of "basic earnings per share" and "diluted earnings per share"
amounts, as defined.  SFAS No. 128 will be effective for the Company's quarter
and year ending December 31, 1997, and, upon adoption, all prior-period earnings
per share data presented shall be restated to conform with the provisions of the
new pronouncement.  Application earlier than the Company's quarter ending
December 31, 1997 is not permitted.

Pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarters ended June 30,
1997 and 1996 calculated under the provisions of SFAS No. 128 are as follows:

     Any trends that may be derived from the above tables are not necessarily
indicative of the Company's future operations.

     Net revenues decreased 52.4% in the three months ended June 30, 1997 as
compared to the same period in 1996. The decline in net revenues in 1997 was
experienced in sales of check readers, debit/credit card terminals, and
signature capture devices.  These products generally are sold to major
retailers, and management believes that these retailers have delayed their
buying decisions for the near term.  Management believes this delay is temporary
in nature, but can make no assurances regarding its duration.  Revenues from the
combination unit were the highest in the product's history, increasing 135.1%
and 203.9%, respectively, over the three and six months ended June 30, 1996.
Similarly, service revenues continued to show strong growth in the three and six
month periods.

     Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net revenues was 63.9% in the three
months ended June 30, 1997, compared to 58.2% in the 1996 period.  The primary
factor in the increase of this percentage from 1996 to 1997 was lower revenues.
The Company anticipates that cost of goods sold will be affected in the future
by changes in product mix as well as by net revenue generated by selling price
and unit cost changes, among other factors.
 
     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 32.8% over the
second quarter of 1996, due primarily to higher personnel costs in sales,
engineering, information systems and human resources areas, as well as the
recording of severance expense in 1997.  During the quarter, the Company
recorded severance expense of $375,000 to provide for expenditures in connection
with the severance arrangements for the Company's former President and Chief
Executive Officer.

     Product development expenditures include research and development expense
and capitalized software development costs and consist primarily of labor.  A
summary of product development efforts is as follows:

</TABLE>

     The increase in the dollar amount of product development expenditures
resulted from the Company's continuing efforts to remain at the forefront of
payment automation technology.  The Company expects to continue to increase
product development expenditures for the foreseeable future as the Company is
dedicated to developing new products and enhancing its existing products.

     Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to 6.0% of net revenues in
the second quarter of 1997 from 1.5% of net revenues in the prior period.  The
increase in the dollar amount in 1997  resulted from capital expenditures
associated with the growth in personnel and improvements in information systems.
The increase in the percent of net revenues is due to the increase in the dollar
amount of the expense, as well as a lower revenue base.

     Interest income, net was consistent between periods.
 
     The effective tax rate was 34.3% in the second quarter of 1997 and 37.0% in
1996.  The decrease in the effective tax rate in 1997 was due primarily  to  a
lower effective state tax rate.

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
     The above factors resulted in the Company recording a net loss for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1997,  compared to net income for the prior
year periods.  The weighted average number of shares outstanding decreased 4.5%
from 1996 to 1997 due to the exclusion of stock options from the computation of
weighted average shares outstanding, since including these items would have the
effect of decreasing the loss per share as reported.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Net cash provided by operating activities was $188,000 in the three months
ended June 30, 1997 and $1,685,000 in the three months ended June 30, 1996.  The
net cash provided by operating activities in 1997 was primarily due to a
decrease in accounts receivable and an increase in accounts payable, partially
offset by an increase in inventories.  The Company experiences normal
fluctuations in its accounts receivable balance, including days outstanding, due
to a variety of factors, including the Company's overall sales performance when
compared to prior periods, the timing of shipments to its customers and
individual customer negotiated terms of sale.  The rate of inventory turnover
experienced by the Company also is dependent upon a variety of factors,
including anticipated inventory requirements to fulfill current and future
customer orders in a timely manner, individual customer negotiated contracts of
sale and the availability of key components used in the manufacturing process.
Increases in these accounts during 1997 and 1996 have been caused by anticipated
increases in sales volumes and by new product introductions.  The Company
anticipates that fluctuations in these accounts will continue in the future.

     Net cash used in investing activities was $1,772,000 in the three months
ended June 30, 1997 and $1,540,000 in the three months ended June 30, 1996.
Purchases of property and equipment and additions to capitalized software and
other noncurrent assets were $2,737,000 and $1,330,000 in the three months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  These uses of net cash were offset by
proceeds from the sale of investments of $965,000 in 1997, and were increased by
the net purchase of investments of $210,000 in  1996.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,114,000 in the three
months ended June 30, 1997 and $502,000 in the three months ended June 30, 1996.
The increase in net cash provided by financing activities in 1997 was due to
the exercise of stock options, primarily by the estate of a former employee.

     The Company's working capital position was $22,231,000 at June 30, 1997.
The Company had no commitments for material capital expenditures as of June 30,
1997.  During the remainder of 1997, the Company anticipates that it will spend
approximately $2,000,000 for capital expenditures, including additions to
capitalized software.  The Company believes that its working capital position at
June 30, 1997, together with anticipated future cash flows from operations and
the borrowing available under its revolving credit agreement, are sufficient to
meet the Company's operating needs, including possible increases in accounts
receivable and inventories, along with planned capital expenditures for at least
the next twelve to eighteen months.

     The Company's operating results have fluctuated on a quarterly basis in the
past and may vary significantly in future periods due to a variety of factors.
These factors include, but are not limited to, the timing of orders from and
shipments to major customers, the timing of new product introductions by the
Company and its competitors, variations in the Company's product mix and
component costs, and competitive pricing pressures.  Due primarily to the above
factors, the results of any particular quarter may not be indicative of the
results for the full year.

Results of Operations" contains forward-looking statements subject to the safe

Management cautions that these statements represent projections and estimates of
future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties.  The Company's
actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-

Company's dependence on its limited suppliers and manufacturers of component
parts of its products; rapid and significant technological developments that
could delay the introduction of improvements in existing products or of new
products; the Company's dependence on its proprietary technologies (which may be
independently developed by competitors); the Company's dependence on a small
number of large retail customers; the potential fluctuation in financial results
as a result of the Company's inability to make sales to large customers as well
as the volume and timing of orders received during a quarter and variations in
sales mix; competition from existing companies as well as new market entrants;
and, the Company's dependence on key personnel.
