             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                (Unaudited)


NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim period reporting in conjunction with the
instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, these statements do not include all
of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles for
annual financial statements, and are subject to year-end adjustments. In the
opinion of management, all known adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals and reserves) necessary to present fairly the quarterly financial
results for the period  have been included. It is suggested that these interim
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related
notes included in the Company's September 30, 1996 Form 10-KSB.

     The operating results for the three months ended December 31, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the September 30, 1997
year end.

NOTE 2.  INVENTORIES

     Inventories have been valued at the lower of average cost or market. The
components of inventory at December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1996 consist
of:

     Weighted average shares outstanding listed below were used in the
per share computation:
 
                               Three Months Ended
                                     December 31,

                               4,456,191    2,756,183

On November 8, 1996, the Company approved a stock repurchase program
(See note 5). Shares outstanding for the quarter reflect a reduction on
a weighted average basis for the repurchased shares. For the prior year's
quarter ended December 31, 1995, the Company's stock did not trade at an
average price that was in excess of the exercise price for the  Company's
Class A warrants that were outstanding at the time. Therefore, the
warrants were not included in the weighted average shares outstanding.  


NOTE 4.  INCOME TAXES                                                   

    Income taxes are based on statutory rates for federal and state income
taxes. The provision for income taxes reflects an annualized effective
tax rate after deductions for the utilization of restricted and
unrestricted net operating loss carryforwards, adjusted for the
applicable federal and state alternative minimum tax provisions. The benefits
of these operating loss carryforwards had previously been subjected to a 
100% valuation allowance.  However, based on projected fiscal 1997 taxable
income, management has reduced the valuation allowance accordingly.  Future
reductions in the valuation allowance will be predicated on projected results
for future years which are not available.


NOTE 5.  STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

     On November 8, 1996, the Company approved a stock repurchase program
for the repurchase of up to 300,000 shares of its own stock. The
repurchased shares will be used by the Company for certain employee
benefit programs. As of December 31, 1996, the Company had repurchased
21,200 shares for $78,914 at an average purchase price of approximately
$3.72 per share.

                 Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                 ---------------------------------------------

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Three Month Period ended December 31, 1996 versus December 31, 1995
- -------------------------------------------------------------------

    Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 1996 were $6,546,188, 
compared to $4,510,217 for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year, 
resulting in an increase of $2,035,971 or 45%. The increase in sales were 
primarily due to the shipments of several new digital video TV products 
introduced domestically and internationally during the latter part of fiscal 
1996, coupled with the commencement of shipments during the first quarter of
the Company's video conferencing board, currently sold on an OEM basis. 
The Company's cash position also contributed to sales growth by providing
the resources required to sufficiently fund its sales, marketing and
procurement programs. 

     Net sales of the Company's products are summarized as follows:

                                   Three Months Ended December 31,   Increase
                                               1996           1995  (Decrease)%

   System Sales                           $  179,342       $ 402,576    (124)
   Digital Video and Conferencing Boards   6,366,846       4,107,641      55
                                           ---------       ---------    -----
   Total Company Sales                    $6,546,188      $4,510,217      45 
                                           =========      ==========  =======

Unit sales of digital video and conferencing  boards increased to approximately
82,000 as compared to approximately 20,000 for the corresponding prior year's
quarter, resulting in an increase of approximately 310%. Sales to domestic
customers for the three month period were 38% of net sales for the current
year and 33% for the prior year. Sales to international customers, which were
primarily in U.S. Dollars, were 62% of net sales for the current year and 67% 
for the comparable period of last year.

     Gross profit increased to $1,628,898 from $1,041,408, an increase of
$587,490 or 56% over the prior year's first fiscal quarter. The gross profit 
percentage increased to approximately 25% as compared to approximately 23% 
for the three months ended December 31, 1995. The effect of lower component
costs resulting from the economies gained by purchasing larger volumes of
inventory plus the absorption of fixed production labor costs over a greater
number of units negated the effect of somewhat lower margins on OEM sales.

     Though selling, general and administrative expenses increased $256,602
over last year's first fiscal quarter, they declined to 15% of revenue in
the current three month period compared to 17% of revenue for the three 
months ended December 31, 1995.   The increase in expenses was 
primarily due to increased sales and marketing expenses

of $163,428, mainly for higher personnel costs due to an increased
outside sales staff, increased commissions resulting from the 45% sales
increase; higher technical support costs of $20,698 for the additional
staff required to consistently maintain a high level of customer support
and higher general and administrative expenses of $24,568, mainly for
contractual wage increases, insurance premiums for D&O insurance and the
amortization of costs relating to the Company's bank line of credit.  
                                                  
     Research and development expenses increased $14,872 or approximately
16%. The increase was due to the infusion of new capital from the
Company's January 1995 public offering and July 1996 conversion of the
Company's Class A Warrants, which has enabled the Company to expand its
engineering research and development resources to enhance current
products and further develop future product lines.                      
                                      
      The Company had net other income of $64,379 for the December 31,
1996 three month period as compared to net other income of $12,156 for
the corresponding three months of the preceding fiscal year. The increase
to net other income was primarily due to the higher interest income
earned from the investing of the cash received from the July 1996 warrant
conversion.                                     

      As a result of all the above, the Company recorded a net profit after 
taxes for the three months ended December 31, 1996 of $449,939 or $0.10 per 
share as opposed to a net income after taxes of $202,627 or $0.07 per share
for the corresponding prior year quarter.              

     Over the prior two fiscal years, the Company has experienced certain
revenue trends. Since a major portion of the Company's products are sold
through distributors and retailers, the Company has historically recorded
stronger sales results during the Company's first fiscal quarter (October
to December), which due to the holiday season, is a strong quarter for
computer equipment sales. In addition, the Company's international sales,
mostly into the European market, have been 54% and 70% of sales for
fiscal 1996 and 1995 and 62% for the first fiscal quarter. Due to this,
the Company's sales for its fourth fiscal quarter (July to September) are
impacted by the reduction of activity experienced with Europe during the
July and August summer holiday period.   

     To offset the above cycles, the Company is working to increase its
penetration of the domestic retail market to create counterbalancing
domestic sales.  Since it is difficult to control the seasonality of
retail sales, the Company is also looking to establish strategic OEM
alliances to produce a consistent level of annual revenue to help offset
the seasonality of the retail segment of its business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     The Company had a net cash position of $5,842,822, working capital
of $8,332,150 and shareholders' equity of $8,545,942 as of December 31,
1996. The significant items of cash sources and (uses) is detailed as
follows:

      Net income (adjusted for non cash items)     $    473,571
      Investments in current assets                  (3,291,374)
      Increase in current liabilities-net             2,199,367 
      Purchase of treasury stock                        (78,914) 

Net cash of ($618,436) used in operating activities was primarily due to cash
used to finance accounts receivable and inventory attributed to the growth in
sales, offset partially by operations funded by accounts payable and cash
generated by the Company's net income.

     The Company currently has in place an asset based bank line of credit.
Advances are to be made on a revolving basis based on a formula of eligible
domestic and foreign receivables not older than 90 days.  As of December
31, 1996, the Company has not utilized this loan facility.

     On November 8, 1996, the Company approved a stock repurchase program
for the repurchase of up to 300,000 shares of its own stock. The
repurchased shares will be used by the Company for certain employee
benefit programs. As of December 31, 1996, the Company had repurchased
21,200 shares for $78,914 at an average purchase price of approximately
$3.72 per share.  

     The Company believes that its current cash position, internally
generated cash flow and its asset based line of credit, will be
sufficient to satisfy the Company's anticipated operating needs for at
least the ensuing twelve months.
