ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS 
        OF OPERATIONS

         The following discussion in this section  "Management's  Discussion and
Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and  Results of  Operations"  contains  trend
analysis and other forward looking  statements within the meaning of Section 27A
of the  Securities  Act of 1933, as amended,  and Section 21E of the  Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Actual results could differ  materially  from
those projected in the forward looking statements as a result of the factors set
forth in this Form 10-Q,  in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1997 and in the Company's other public filings.

Results of Operations

         Net Revenues. Net revenues increased approximately 5% from $4.5 million
in the first  quarter  of 1997 to $4.7  million  in the first  quarter  of 1998.
Revenues  between  comparison  quarters  would have been  similar if not for the
cancellation of an OEM contract in the first quarter of 1997 which resulted in a
one-time adjustment to revenues of $335,000.

         Gross Profit. Gross profit increased approximately 82% from $959,000 in
the first  quarter of 1997 to $1.7 million in the first  quarter of 1998.  Gross
profit,  as a percentage of net revenues,  increased to approximately 37% in the
first  quarter  of 1998 from  approximately  21% for the first  quarter of 1997.
Gross margins  between  comparison  quarters  would have been similar if not for
cost of revenue  adjustments  in the first quarter of 1997 totaling  $733,000 to
inventory reserves for components  rendered obsolete by product revisions and to
warranty reserves for new product hardware updates.

         Research and Development.  Research and development  expenses decreased
approximately  30% to $1.4 million  during the first quarter of 1998 compared to
$2.0  million  in the first  quarter of 1997,  related  primarily  to  decreased
personnel and reduced use of consultants.

         Selling  and  Marketing.   Selling  and  marketing  expenses  decreased
approximately  8% to $1.6 million in the first  quarter of 1998 compared to $1.8
million in the first quarter of 1997.  As a percentage  of net  revenues,  these
expenses  decreased to 35% in the first  quarter of 1998  compared to 40% in the
first quarter of 1997. The decrease is related primarily to decreased  personnel
and reduced advertising expenses.

         General  and  Administrative.   General  and  administrative   expenses
decreased approximately 29% to $424,000 in the first quarter of 1998 compared to
$599,000 in the first quarter of 1997.  As a percentage  of net revenues,  these
expenses  decreased  to 9% in the first  quarter of 1998  compared to 13% in the
first quarter of 1997.  Excluding a charge in the first quarter of 1997 totaling
$263,000 to bad debt  reserves  for  specific  accounts,  expenses for the first
quarter  1998 were 26%  higher  due  primarily  to higher  legal,  audit and tax
preparation expenses.

         Interest  Income  (Expense).  The Company had net  interest  expense of
$1,000,  in the first quarter of 1998 compared to interest  income of $91,000 in
the first quarter of 1997. This difference is primarily due to interest  expense
calculated on the Promissory  Note only partially  offset by interest  income on
lower cash balances available for investment.

         Benefit  from  Income  Taxes.  During the first  quarter  of 1998,  the
Company  maintained a 100% valuation  allowance  against its deferred tax assets
due to the  uncertainty  surrounding  the  realization of such assets.  If it is
determined  that it is more  likely  than not that the  deferred  tax assets are
realizable, the valuation allowance will be reduced. During the first quarter of
1997, the Company recorded a tax benefit totaling $1.0 million. This benefit was
based on a 30 percent tax rate which had been  calculated  based on  anticipated
net income for the year.

         Factors  That May Affect  Future  Results of  Operations:  The  Company
believes  that in the future its  results of  operations  could be  impacted  by
factors such as delays in development and shipment of the Company's new products
and major new versions of existing  products,  market acceptance of new products
and  upgrades,  growth  in the  marketplace  in which it  operates,  competitive
product offerings,  and adverse changes in general economic conditions in any of
the countries in which the Company does business. The Company's results in prior
years  have  been  affected  by these  factors,  particularly  with  respect  to
developing and introducing new products such as PowerScript,  MXPro, and Effetto
Pronto.

         Due primarily to the factors noted above,  the Company has  experienced
substantial  volatility in its  operations.  The Company's  future  earnings and
stock price may continue to be subject to significant  volatility,  particularly
on a quarterly  basis. Any shortfall in revenue or earnings from levels expected
by  securities  analysts  or  anticipated  by the  Company  based  upon  product
development and  introduction  schedules could have an immediate and significant
adverse  effect on the trading price of the Company's  common stock in any given
period. Additionally, the Company may not learn of such shortfalls until late in
the fiscal  quarter,  which could result in an even more  immediate  and adverse
effect on the trading price of the Company's common stock.  Finally, the Company
participates  in a highly dynamic  industry,  which often results in significant
volatility of the Company's common stock price. See the Company's 1997 Form 10-K
section entitled "Business - Research and Development".

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         From the  Company's  inception  until its  initial  public  offering in
December  1994,  which  resulted in net proceeds of $15.8  million,  the Company
financed its operations through private sales of equity, shareholder loans, cash
flow from operations, and bank borrowings. In January of 1998, the Company again
financed its  operations  through a shareholder  loan totaling  $619,000.  As of
March 31, 1998, the Company had $1.0 million of cash and cash equivalents.

         Net cash used by operations  was $439,000 for the first quarter of 1998
compared to net cash used in operations  of $1,343,000  for the same period last
year. The use of cash from operating activities during the first quarter of 1998
is primarily  due to a net loss before the  provisions  for  doubtful  accounts,
excess and obsolete  inventories and  depreciation,  an increase in receivables,
offset  partially by a decrease in  inventories  and prepaid income taxes and an
increase in accounts payable. The use of cash in operating activities during the
first quarter of 1997 was primarily due to a net loss before the  provisions for
doubtful   accounts,   excess  and  obsolete   inventories,   depreciation   and
amortization, and an increase in inventories, all offset partially by a decrease
in receivables.  Net cash used by investing  activities for the first quarter of
1998 was  $155,000,  due to property and  equipment  expenditures  primarily for
computers,  software and engineering  equipment used in research and development
and other  activities.  Net cash provided by investing  activities for the first
quarter  of 1997  was $1.0  million,  primarily  due to the  sale of  marketable
securities  offset partially by property and equipment  expenditures,  primarily
for  computers,   software  and  engineering  equipment  used  in  research  and
development  and other  activities.  Net cash  provided by financing  activities
during  the  first  quarter  of 1998  was  $632,000,  primarily  because  of the
Promissory  Note and the receipt of cash from the exercise of the stock  options
issued  under the  Company's  Stock  Option  Plans.  Net cash used in  financing
activities  during  the first  quarter  of 1997 was  $46,000  received  from the
exercise of the stock options issued under the Company's Stock Option Plans.

         The Company  believes that loans from a shareholder,  together with its
operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet the Company's  requirements  for
working capital, and capital expenditures, through the end of 1998.
