PART I     FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 1     CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein have
been prepared by the Company, without audit , pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes
that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. It  is suggested that the condensed consolidated interim financial
statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A
for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the DTC Data Technology Corporation
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements,
but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles.

The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared,
in all material respects, in conformity with the standards of accounting
measurements set forth in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28 and
reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal
recurring nature, necessary to summarize fairly the financial position and
results of operations for such periods. The results of operations for such
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.

1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies



Effective March 5, 1996, Photonics Corporation, the Company,

acquired all the assets and certain liabilities of DTC Data

Technology Corporation (DTC) in exchange for the issuance to

DTC of shares and rights to shares of common stock representing

77.5% of the Company's outstanding stock. The transaction was

treated as a purchase for accounting purposes and DTC is

considered the acquirer. Accordingly, the financial statements

and accounting policies presented here are those of DTC and

should be read in conjunction with DTC's Form 10-K for the year

ended February 28, 1996. Although, DTC is considered the

acquirer, the Company is the registrant and therefore the

Company retains its  December 31 year end. Accordingly, the

Consolidated Balance Sheet for March 31, 1996 is that of the

combined companies and the Consolidated Balance Sheet for

December 31, 1995 is that of DTC. The Consolidated Statement of

Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 contains

two months of operations of DTC prior to the acquisition and

one month of the Company and the Consolidated Statement of

Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 1995 contains

three months of operations of DTC only. The Consolidated

Statement of Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31,

1996 contains two months of operations of DTC prior to the

acquisition and one month of the Company and the Consolidated

Statement of Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31,

1995 contains three months of operations of DTC only.



2. Loss per Share



For the quarter ended March 31,1996, the loss per share has

been computed based on the weighted average number of shares

outstanding after reflecting the effect of the 1 for 5 reverse

split of the Company's common stock which became effective

February 12, 1996.  For the quarter ended March 31, 1995, loss

per share has been computed based on the weighted average

number of shares outstanding after reflecting the effect of the

exchange of .147853 shares of the Company  for DTC shares.

   ITEM 2      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION       AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



First Quarter  1996 Versus First Quarter 1995



Net revenues for the current quarter total $2.5million, a

decrease of approximately $3.3 million or 57% from the

$5.8 million reported in the first quarter of 1995. The

decline in revenues can be attributed to i) a change in

standards for high end PC's which placed the IDE

controller on the motherboard obviating the need for

DTC's IDE controller card and ii) a shortage of working

capital which has slowed the delivery of backlogged

product.



The gross margin in the first of fiscal 1996 was

approximately 24% compared with approximately 21% for the

first quarter of the prior year.



Product development expenses were approximately $0.2

million, or 6% of net revenues during the current quarter

compared to approximately $0.2 million, or 4% of net

revenues in the first quarter of 1995.



Selling, general and administrative expenses were

approximately $0.8 million, or 34% of net revenues during

the first quarter of 1996 compared to $0.7 million or 12%

of net revenues reported in the first quarter of 1995.

Prior year's results include a $125,000 reversal of an

unrealized employee termination package. Additionally,

the Company has  increased commissions and CO-OP

advertising allowances in an effort to sell more product.



The Company reported a loss from operations of

approximately $0.4 million during the current quarter

versus income from operations of approximately $0.1

million in the first quarter of 1995. The decline in

revenue is primarily responsible for the difference

between the results of the first quarter of  1996 and

1995.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



Cash and cash equivalents increased from $32,000 as of

December 31, 1995 to $222,000 as of March 31, 1996. This

increase was due primarily to positive cash flows from

financing activities less cash used in operating

activities.



On November 14, 1994, DTC arranged a private line of

credit for $300,000 from CMC/TOPAZ Industries, Inc. This

line of credit has subsequently been increased to

$700,000. The terms of this line of credit are 2 points

on each draw down plus 12% per annum. Each draw down

matures at the end of a 60 day period. As of December 31

1995 there was no outstanding balance. As of March 31,

1996 the outstanding balance was $513,000.



At December 31, 1995, DTC owed $1,728,000 to DTC

Technology Corporation. This debt was collateralized by a

secured interest in  receivables and inventories. At the

end of fiscal 1995, this interest rate was 9.5% which was

 .5% over prime. As of March 31, 199, this debt had been

converted to equity as provided in the Credit Assignment

and Liquidation Agreement between the two parties.
