3.   INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING:

     In March 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering (IPO) of
2,125,000 shares of common stock with proceeds of approximately $11.8 million,
net of related offering costs. The Company used $6.4 million of the proceeds to
repay bridge financing arrangements and the remaining proceeds will be used to
fund capital expenditures and for working capital purposes. In connection with
the offering, the Company issued warrants to the underwriter to purchase 212,500
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.80 per share. At the
completion of the IPO, the Company's articles of incorporation were amended to
authorize 30 million shares of common stock, $.001 par value, and five million
shares of undesignated preferred stock, $.001 par value.


4.   EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE:

     The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share" (SFAS No. 128) effective in the quarter and year ended
January 4, 1998. SFAS No. 128 establishes accounting standards for computing and
presenting earnings (loss) per share (EPS). Basic EPS is computed by dividing
net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the period. No dilution for potentially dilutive securities is included.
Diluted EPS is calculated using the treasury stock method and reflects the
dilutive effect of outstanding options, warrants and other securities. In the
Company's calculations, the impact of common stock equivalents has been excluded
from the computation of weighted average common shares outstanding as the effect
would be antidilutive. As a result, basic and diluted EPS are equal for all
periods presented in the accompanying Statements of Operations.

5.   RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Certain amounts in the 1997 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the 1998 presentation, with no effect on previously reported net loss
or shareholders' equity.

     NET SALES. The Company's net sales increased 5% from $5.1 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 to $5.4 million for the comparable period in 1998.
The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average selling prices of
the 7000 Series and 5000 Series products, as a result of customers purchasing
more options and accessories. Unit volumes were comparable for the first quarter
of 1998 and 1997. Sales of the 5000 Series represented 43% and 42% of net sales
for the quarters ended April 5, 1998 and April 6, 1997, respectively.

     International sales increased from 23% of net sales for the first quarter
of 1997 to 34% for the first quarter of 1998 as the Company realized benefits
from existing customer relationships. The majority of international sales,
approximately 55%, are in Europe. The Company believes that international sales
as a percentage of total net sales will be in the mid to upper 20% range for the
remainder of 1998, with little impact on the Company's results of operations or
liquidity.

     GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit of $2.2 million or 40.3% for the first quarter
of 1998 was comparable to the first quarter of 1997 of $2.1 million or 40.2%.
The Company has enhanced its standard features on the 5000 and 7000 Series
platforms as well as reduced pricing on the highest performance standard
configuration by 7%. These actions were taken to upgrade its platforms with
current technology, improve performance and reliability and increase sales. The
pricing actions are not anticipated to have a significant impact on gross profit
margins in the future as the Company expects customers to purchase more options
and accessories. In addition, with improvements in manufacturing efficiencies,
specifically due to enhanced manufacturing processes at the Company's new
manufacturing facility, outsourcing of several key assembly components, and
anticipated unit volume increases, the Company believes it will maintain gross
profit margins in the high 30% to 40% range during 1998.

     Gross profit for the first quarter of 1998 and 1997 reflect the Company's
reclassification of certain warranty related costs from cost of goods sold to
sales and marketing expense. The impact of this reclassification was to decrease
cost of goods sold and increase gross profit by $214,000 and 4.0% for the
quarter ended April 5, 1998 and by $176,000 and 3.4% for the quarter ended April
6, 1997.

     SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and marketing expenses include salaries, sales
commissions, travel and related expenses for the Company's marketing, sales and
technical support personnel, as well as programs aimed at increasing revenues,
such as advertising and trade shows. In addition, these expenses include the
costs related to maintaining the Company's standard one year warranty on its
products. Sales and marketing expenses increased
<PAGE>
 
from $1.2 million or 23% of net sales for the first quarter of 1997 to $1.4
million or 27% of net sales for the comparable period in 1998. The increase was
due primarily to increased staffing and travel as the Company continued to
expand its direct sales force. This increase was partially offset by a decrease
in warranty expenses due to efficiencies gained in the repair of units under
warranty. The Company expects to continue to invest in the promotion and
marketing of its products in order to expand its vertical marketing strategy and
enhance its competitive position. Accordingly, increases in sales and marketing
expenditures are anticipated in future periods, although expenses are projected
to remain relatively consistent as a percentage of net sales.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses include the
Company's finance, human resources, contracts and other administrative
management operations. These expenses were comparable at $0.8 million and 15% of
net sales in the first quarters of both years. Additional compensation expenses
as the Company added to its general and administrative infrastructure and
expenses incurred for moving into a larger facility during the fourth quarter of
1997 and the first quarter of 1998 were offset by reduced bad debt allowances,
as the Company continued to have excellent collection results. The Company
anticipates holding the growth of general and administrative expenses to a level
less than the growth of sales in the future.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses are incurred in
the development and testing of new or enhanced products and customized computing
platforms for special applications. These costs are expensed as incurred.
Research and development expenses increased from $0.4 million or 8% of net sales
during the first quarter of 1997 to $0.7 million or 13% of net sales for the
first quarter of 1998. The increase was primarily due to salaries and supplies
and services used in the product development process. The Company's development
effort during the first quarter of 1998 was primarily attributed to enhancements
of the 5000 and 7000 Series. The Company has introduced the 5000 Series II,
which has increased processor speed, memory and other standard feature
enhancements. Additionally, the 5000 Series II has a new technology module
designed to improve reliability of the platform. Standard features on the 7000
Series have also been upgraded. The Company expects research and development
expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as it continues to expands its
technical resources to develop new platforms and enhance existing product lines.
As a percentage of net sales, research and development expenses are expected to
remain relatively stable.

     INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE) AND OTHER, NET. Interest expense was
approximately $420,000 for the first quarter of 1997 compared to interest income
of $57,000 for the comparable period in 1998. This was primarily due to the
repayment of debt in March and April of 1997 using initial public offering
proceeds and the subsequent investment of the remaining proceeds. The Company
expects to continue reporting net interest income for the foreseeable future.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     From inception to March 1997, the Company primarily financed its operations
and capital expenditures through the private sale of equity and debt securities,
loans and bank lines of credit. In the first quarter of 1997, the Company
completed an initial public offering of common stock and received net proceeds
of $11.8 million from the sale of 2,125,000 shares. From the proceeds, the
Company repaid $1.4 million of $6.4 million of loans outstanding during the
first quarter of 1997. The Company repaid the remaining $5.0 million in the
second quarter of 1997. There were no loans outstanding or bank credit
facilities open as of April 5, 1998.

     The Company's cash balance as of April 5, 1998 was $3.4 million as compared
to the January 4, 1998 balance of $3.2 million. Cash provided by operating
activities totaled $0.7 million for the first quarter of 1998. The Company's
accounts receivable decreased $2.2 million from $6.4 million at January 4, 1998
to $4.2 million at April 5, 1998, primarily due to collections from increased
sales in the fourth quarter of 1997. Inventories increased $0.5 million to $5.5
million at April 5, 1998. This was mainly due to purchases of long lead time
items for anticipated sales in the first quarter, which were not realized. The
Company expects to utilize these inventories during 1998.
<PAGE>
 
     During the first quarter of 1998, the Company purchased $0.6 million of
property, plant and equipment. The expenditures related primarily to equipment
and furniture and fixtures for the new facility as well as manufacturing tooling
expenditures. The Company anticipates property, plant and equipment expenditures
relating to tooling to increase in the foreseeable future as it expands its
product line offerings and enhances existing platforms.

     The Company has requested proposals relating to a line of credit to
supplement cash availability and expects to have a facility in place during
1998. The Company believes that this planned line of credit, together with
existing cash, interest expected to be earned thereon, anticipated operating
cash flows, and potential financing to be sought through borrowings or other
arrangements, will be sufficient to fund its operations at least through fiscal
1998. Cash requirements for periods during and beyond the next twelve months
depend on the Company's profitability, its ability to manage working capital
requirements and its rate of growth, among other factors.


YEAR 2000

     The Company's internal information systems were upgraded during the first
quarter of 1998 to ensure year 2000 compliance. The total cost of the
implementation was not significant. Management believes its current products are
year 2000 compliant and is offering updated configuration software for products
shipped in prior periods. Associated costs will not be material. The Company's
operations with respect to the year 2000 may also be affected by other entities
with which the Company transacts business. The Company is currently unable to
determine the potential consequences, if any, that could result from such
entities' failure to effectively address this issue.



PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION
- ---------------------------
ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Company is involved in legal actions in the ordinary course of its
business. Although the Company cannot predict the outcome of any such legal
actions, management believes that there is no pending legal proceeding against
or involving the Company for which the outcome is likely to have a material
adverse effect upon the Company's financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.


ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

USE OF PROCEEDS

     The Company's registration statement on Form S-1, file number 333-18335,
was declared effective on March 19, 1997. The Company registered an aggregate of
2,443,750 shares of common stock, $.001 par value (including 316,250 shares
covered by a registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 462(m) on March 20,
1997, file number 333-23637) with R.J. Steichen & Company as the managing
underwriter. The offering commenced on March 20, 1997, and on March 25, 1997,
the Company closed on aggregate proceeds of $13,812,500 from the sale of
2,125,000 of these shares. The remainder of the shares registered were subject
to an underwriters' over-allotment option that subsequently expired unexercised.
<PAGE>
 
     The following expenses were incurred in connection with the issuance and
distribution of the securities:


             Underwriters discount and commission              $    967,000
             Expenses paid to underwriters                          276,000
             Other expenses                                         809,000
                                                               ------------
                Total expenses                                 $  2,052,000
                                                               ============

             Net offering proceeds                             $ 11,760,000
                                                               ============

     The net offering proceeds have been used as follows as of April 5, 1998:


             Construction of plant, building and               $    235,000
             facilities
             Purchase of machinery and equipment                  1,112,000
             Repayment of indebtedness                            6,597,000
             Working capital                                      1,183,000
             Temporary investment in Norwest
                 Advantage Cash Investment Account                2,633,000
                                                               ------------
                                                               $ 11,760,000
                                                               ============

     All such amounts were direct payments to third parties. The Company has
spent $1.3 million on capital expenditures since its initial public offering as
compared to $1.0 million estimated at the time of the offering. This difference
is mainly due to the level of expenditures for leaseholds and other costs
related to the Company's move into its new facility.
