Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 1997


NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
  prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
  and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB.  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 considered necessary for
  a fair presentation have been included.  The results of operations for
  the six months and three months ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily
  indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  For further
  information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included
  in the Company's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended
  September 30, 1996.


NOTE B--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Basis of Presentation

  The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements include the
  accounts of MVSI, Inc. (a Delaware corporation), and its three wholly
  owned subsidiaries: MVS Modular Vision Systems, Inc. (MVS-Canada), a
  Montreal, Quebec-based corporation engaged in the design and manufacture
  of proprietary machine vision products and systems; Socrates, Inc.
  (Socrates), a Gaithersburg, Maryland-based corporation, which integrates,
  installs and supports high-end computer and communication equipment; and
  JMR Distributors, Inc. (JMR), a Lorton, Virginia-based corporation
  specializing in the purchase and sale of computer memory chips and
  network equipment (collectively referred to as the "Company").  The
  results of operations of Socrates are included in the accompanying
  financial statements since the July 1, 1996 acquisition date.
  Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
  in consolidation.


  Revenue Recognition

  Sales are recognized upon shipment of a finished product when title to
  the product transfers to the customer.  Typical terms of sale do not
  provide the customer with the right of return except for defective
  products, which are covered by the Company's warranty.  Revenue billed
  in advance of customer acceptance is deferred until such time as
  acceptance occurs.  Amounts received from customers prior to shipment
  are recorded as deposit liabilities.


  Cash and Cash Equivalents

  Cash and cash equivalents include cash and money market accounts.


  Investments

  Investments consist of short-term U.S. treasury notes, net of margin
  loans which bear interest at 7 1/2 percent.  In accordance with Statement
  of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, the Company has classified
  these investments as available for sale, and recorded the investments
  at market value at March 31, 1997 and 1996.  The Company has not realized
  any proceeds from the sale of securities during the three months ended
  March 31, 1997 and 1996.

March 31, 1997


NOTE B--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--Continued

  Accounts Receivable

  Accounts receivable are stated at the unpaid balances, less allowance
  on collectible accounts.  Management periodically reviews its
  outstanding accounts receivable to assess collectibility of balances
  based on past experience and evaluation of current adverse situations
  which may affect collectibility of receivables.  As of  March 31, 1997,
  management has established an allowance for doubtful accounts of
  approximately $163,000.  


  Inventory Valuation

  Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and market.  Cost is determined
  on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.

  Management evaluates obsolete and slow-moving inventory at each reporting
  date and excludes such inventory from the valuation.  Management has
  recorded a $40,000 reserve to record inventory at lower of cost or
  market at March 31, 1997.  The value of inventories written off because
  of obsolescence or slow movement has not been material to date.


  Property and Equipment

  Property and equipment are carried at cost, net of an allowance for
  accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation is computed
  on equipment and furniture, principally using the double-declining
  balance method over estimated lives ranging from five to seven years.
  Demonstration and research equipment is depreciated on a straight-line
  basis over a four-year period.  Leasehold improvements are amortized
  on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or
  estimated useful lives of the related assets.


  Capitalized Software Costs

  Beginning in fiscal year 1995, certain software development costs not
  reimbursed by the Canadian government have been capitalized in accordance
  with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86.  Software
  development costs incurred subsequent to achievement of technological
  feasibility, and not reimbursed by the Canadian government, were not
  material in previous years.  Technological feasibility occurs when the
  Company has completed all planning and testing activities necessary to
  establish that the product can be produced to meet its design
  specifications, including functions, features and technological
  performance requirements.  No amortization has been recorded in the
  accompanying financial statements pending release of the associated
  products.  Management believes that these products will be available for
  sale during late fiscal year 1997.  During the quarter ended March 31,
  1997, the Company expensed $55,000 of previously capitalized costs based
  upon a reevaluation of the status of certain products.  When products
  are ready for sale, the Company's policy will be to amortize capitalized
  software costs by the greater of (a) the ratio the current gross
  revenue for a product bears to the total current and anticipated future
  gross revenue for that product or (b) the straight-line method over
  the remaining economic life of the product including the period being
  reported on.  It is reasonably possible that those estimates of
  anticipated future gross revenue, the remaining estimated economic life
  of the product, or both will be reduced significantly in the near term.
  As a result, the carrying amount of the capitalized software costs may
  be reduced materially in the near term.

NOTE B--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--Continued

  Goodwill

  Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net
  assets acquired in business combinations accounted for as purchases.
  Goodwill is being amortized on the straight-line method over ten years.
  Amortization expense charged to operations for the six months ended
  March 31, 1997 and 1996 was $139,280 and $22,500, respectively.


  Research and Development Costs

  Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.  The Company,
  however, is eligible to receive tax credits for certain research and
  development costs incurred from both the Canadian federal government
  and the Province of Quebec. Tax credits received or due from the Canadian
  federal government for research and development costs incurred can be
  realized only as an offset to future taxes payable from income generated
  in Canada.  These tax credits can be carried forward up to ten years from
  the date generated.

  Tax credits received or due from the Province of Quebec for research
  and development costs incurred have been offset against current
  research and development expenditures and are included as a receivable
  in the accompanying balance sheet, as such amounts are currently
  refundable in cash in the year following the year in which they are
  incurred.

  Equipment used in research and development activities which has
  alternative future uses is capitalized and depreciated.


  Income Taxes

  The Company has net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit
  carryforwards to offset future taxable income and taxes payable.
  Although the Company has recognized income before income taxes through
  March 31, 1997, this has not resulted in the recognition of income tax
  expense due to the existence of available net operating loss
  carryforwards.  Deferred taxes are recognized, subject to a valuation
  allowance, for temporary differences in the timing of recognition of
  certain income and expenses.


  Earnings Per Share

  Earnings per share (EPS), both primary and fully diluted, are computed,
  under the modified treasury stock method for the six months and three
  months ended March 31, 1997.  Under the modified treasury stock method,
  earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares
  actually outstanding plus the shares that would be outstanding assuming
  conversion, at the beginning of the year, of the Company's Class A and
  Class B warrants which are considered to be common stock equivalents.
  The number of shares that would be issued from the assumed exercise of
  the warrants has been reduced by the number of shares that could have
  been purchased from the proceeds, at the average market price of the
  Company's stock for the three months and six months ended March 31,
  1997, subject to a 20% limitation.  Once the proceeds have been applied
  to purchase common stock up to 20% of the outstanding common stock,
  the balance of the proceeds are assumed to be invested in government
  securities.

Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements--Continued

March 31, 1997


NOTE B--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--Continued

  Earnings Per Share-Continued

  Accordingly, net earnings (for both primary and fully diluted EPS)
  have been adjusted for interest revenue, net of tax, from the assumed
  purchase of government securities with the excess proceeds.  The
  weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares used
  in the primary and fully diluted EPS computations were 14,693,778 for
  the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 14,708,196 for the six months
  ended March 31, 1997. 

  For the six months and three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company's
  common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive and accordingly were not
  included in the March 31, 1996 EPS computations.  For the three months
  and six months ended March 31, 1996, the weighted average number of
  common shares outstanding, computed without regard to common stock
  equivalents, was 10,240,000.


  Using Estimates in Preparing Financial Statements

  In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
  accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and
  assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
  and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
  the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting
  period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


  Reclassifications

  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to
  the current period presentation.


  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

  The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair
  value of each class of financial instruments for which it is
  practicable to estimate the value:

  The carrying amount approximates fair value for cash and cash
  equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable,
  line of credit and other accrued liabilities.

  Investment securities classified as current assets are based on quoted
  market price.


  Translation of Foreign Currency and Concentration of Credit Risk

  A portion of the Company's operations are transacted in Canadian
  dollars.  The balance sheet of Canadian operations is translated into
  U.S. dollars at the year-end rate of exchange, and all statement of
  operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rates
  for the year.  The resulting translation adjustments are made directly
  to a separate component of stockholders' equity.

NOTE B--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--Continued

  Translation of Foreign Currency and Concentration of Credit Risk-Continued

  The Company's customers are not concentrated in any specific geographic
  region.  As a matter of policy, the Company requires its larger customers
  to furnish letters of credit (and in some instances, advance deposits)
  to minimize credit risk to the Company after shipment of the products.
  For other customers, the Company reviews a customer's credit history
  before extending credit.


NOTE C--SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS

  Restructuring of e-Net, Inc. Relationship

  On January 14, 1997, MVSI announced the restructuring of its relationship
  with e-Net, Inc., a Washington, D.C. area based telecommunications
  products and services company.  As previously reported, MVSI announced
  its intention in August, 1996 to acquire e-Net, Inc., a Delaware
  corporation, in an exchange of securities valued in August, 1996 at
  approximately $60 million, and approximately $5.3 million in operating
  cash over a two-year period, subject to obtaining a fairness opinion and
  the ratification by a majority of MVSI shareholders at its next
  shareholders meeting.

  However, certain uncontrollable events negatively affected the proposed
  acquisition and as a result, MVSI and e-Net agreed that it was not in
  the best interests of the shareholders of either company to proceed with
  the proposed acquisition of e-Net by MVSI.  As of January 14, 1997, MVSI
  had provided e-Net $1,250,000 in working capital, pursuant to a
  promissory note under an October 1996 agreement.  In the new agreement,
  dated January 14, 1997, e-Net granted MVSI, for the $1.25 million loan
  made to e-Net, a five-year conversion option to acquire e-Net securities
  at a fixed price in future financing obtained by e-Net from other sources.
  This conversion option could be exercised, at MVSI's discretion, in lieu
  of MVSI demanding cash repayment of the loan during the five-year period.
  In February 1997, MVSI converted the $1.25 million note to 250,000 shares
  of e-Net common stock in order to facilitate the proposed underwriting
  of e-Net's intial public offering ("e-Net's IPO"), which occurred in
  April 1997.  The 250,000 shares of e-Net common stock owned by MVSI were
  registered as part of e-Net's IPO and are restricted from sale for a 12-
  month period from the date of e-Net's IPO, but may be released for sale
  during the 12-month period with the consent of the Underwriter. 

  As a result of the restructured agreement and subsequent note conversion,
  MVSI has reclassified its note receivable from e-Net to an investment
  in e-Net (see accompanying balance sheet).  The investment, which includes
  certain costs incident to the transactions, is stated at cost that does
  not exceed estimated net realizable value.

  In addition, MVSI acquired a perpetual original equipment manufacture
  (OEM) license to e-Net's Telecom 2000, a proprietary telecommunications
  product which allows secure, private voice communications across the
  Internet and intranets.  MVSI and e-Net will continue to explore
  cooperation through possible future technology transfers or licensing
  of their respective technology products and services.


 	South Korean Joint Venture Agreement

 	MVS Modular Vision Systems, Inc. ("MVS") and Kyung Pil Woo, a South
  Korean distributor of high technology products, entered into a joint
  venture agreement, subject to parent company approval, whereby MVS and
  Mr. Woo have established a South Korean company ("TRIVISION") to service,
  assemble and perform the final manufacture of MVS and other high
  technology products.  The Joint Venture will also promote, market, sell
  and distribute these products in South Korea and other Asian markets.
  The Joint Venture will be owned equally (50%/50%) by MVS and Mr. Woo
  in exchange for each party's capital contribution of $500,000 in cash
  to the Joint Venture's working capital.  As of March 31, 1997, MVS and
  Mr. Woo are completing final modifications to the initial joint venture
  agreement.  Pending the signing of this agreement, MVS will provide its
  capital contribution of $500,000 to the Joint Venture.  The Company
  believes that the Joint Venture is essential to establishing a larger
  market presence for MVS products in South Korea and other Asian nations.


NOTE D--LEASE COMMITMENT

  On April 30, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to lease
  approximately 35,000 square feet of space in Largo, Maryland to be used
  for the assembly of computer components: the manufacturing of computer
  systems; and the integration of computer systems for network
  applications.  In addition, the facility will provide warehouse and
  office space, a customer showroom and training facilities.  The 5-year
  lease term, which includes annual rent escalation clauses, provides
  for annual base rent of approximately $140,000, plus the Company's
  share of property, taxes, and maintenance costs.

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Results of Operations.

  	The Company reported sales of $9,789,881 for the three month period
 ended March 31, 1997 as compared to $3,038,459 for the same period in
 fiscal year 1996.  For the six months ended March 31, 1997, the Company
 reported sales of $18,169,814 as compared to $6,608,601 for the same
 period in fiscal year 1996.  The increase in sales of $11,561,213 or 175%
 is attributable to the acquisition of Socrates, Inc., effective July 1,
 1996 and strong demand for the Company's computer products and services
 and laser machine vision products and systems.

  	The gross margin of the Company decreased to 19% and 21% for the three
 months and six months ended March 31, 1997, respectively.  The decrease
 in margins is principally a result of relatively lower gross profit
 margins in the Company's computer distribution and reselling businesses.

   For the three months ended March 31, 1997, selling expense increased
 by $363,641 (261%) to $503,061 and increased by $777,336 (330%) to
 $1,012,593 for the six months ended March 31, 1997.  The increase in
 selling expenses, over those of the prior year, is primarily a result
 of increased sales and marketing efforts and the Company's acquisition
 of Socrates, Inc.  During fiscal year 1997, the Company has agressively
 worked towards expanding its marketing and sales presence in each market
 that the Company's products compete in.  Administrative expenses increased
 $116,884 (19%) to $733,365 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and
 increased by $401,827 (35%) for the six months ended March 31, 1997,
 as a result of an increase in the Company's overall level of operations
 and the acquisition of Socrates.

	  Research and development expenditures, shown net of Canadian tax credits,
 increased by $57,355 to $131,952 for the three months ended March 31,
 1997 and increased by $10,740 to $162,153 for the six months ended
 March 31, 1997, as a result of the Company's continuing research and
 development efforts.  Additionally, subsequent to the Company achieving
 technological feasibility on several software development efforts late
 in fiscal year 1995, the Company continues to capitalize, in accordance
 with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, certain labor
 costs directly associated with these research and development efforts.
 Management expects to begin amortizing such costs in late fiscal year
 1997 upon release of the associated products. During the quarter ended
 March 31, 1997, the Company expensed $55,000 of previously capitalized
 costs based upon a reevaluation of the status of certain products.
 Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three months ended
 March 31, 1997 increased by $50,630 to $81,110 and increased by $46,011
 to $162,934 for the six months ended March 31, 1997, as a direct result
 of an increase in depreciable assets from the Company's acquisition of
 Socrates, Inc. and the resulting goodwill amortization recorded subsequent
 to the acquisition.

   Interest income and expense and financing charges decreased by $11,689
 from $102,850 for the three month period ended March 31, 1997, and
 decreased by $37,204 for the six months ended March 31, 1997.  The decrease
 is primarily attributable to an increase in interest income from an
 outstanding note receivable, as well as an increase in other income, offset
 by an increase in margin loan interest expense.

   The Company has net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit
 carryforwards to offset future taxable income and taxes payable.  Although
 the Company has recognized income before income taxes through March 31,
 1997, this has not resulted in the recognition of income tax expense due
 to the existence of available net operating loss carryforwards.  Future
 use of these net operating loss carryforwards was not affected by the
 Company's acquisitions during fiscal year 1996.  However, in the event
 a change of control occurs in the future, use of all or a portion of the
 U.S. carryforwards could be affected.  Moreover, as a result of the
 Company's anticipation of increasing levels of profitability, the
 Company may be required to begin paying income taxes during fiscal year
 1997.

<PAGE>

   The current provision for income taxes in the accompanying Statements of
 Operations is based upon the estimated annualized effective tax rate and
 is largely determined by management's estimate as of the interim date of
 projected taxable income for the entire fiscal year.  The Company was
 able to offset the current income tax expense at March 31, 1997, by
 realizing available deferred tax benefits.                     

   Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $608,103 or
 $0.05 per share ($0.06 per share excluding the dilutive effect of 6.1
 million outstanding warrants), as compared to net income of $471,792 or
 $0.05 per share for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  Net income for
 six months ended March 31, 1997 was $1,208,231 or $0.10 per share ($0.11 per
 share excluding the dilutive effect of 6.1 million outstanding warrants),
 as compared to net income of $802,150 or $0.08 per share for the first six
 months a year ago.  The per share data for the six months and three months
 ended March 31, 1996, does not include the 6.1 million outstanding warrants
 as the warrants were anti-dilutive during those periods.

	  As of March 31, 1997, the Company had working capital of $8,105,969
 compared to $9,562,778 as of September 30, 1996.  The fiscal year 1996
 acquisitions of JMR Distributors, Inc. and Socrates, Inc. and future
 expansion of the Company's laser vision business, including continual
 software development, may require increased working capital to finance
 increases in inventory and accounts receivable comparable to or greater
 than the increase experienced in the six months ended March 31, 1997
 (see Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows).  While no assurances can be
 given, the Company believes that cash generated from operations, along
 with existing resources and available credit are sufficient to meet the
 Company's short-term working capital and other financing requirements.
 The Company, however, believes that it will be necessary to obtain
 additional funding or financing to satisfy the long-term capital needs of
 the Company's subsidiary operations and to provide for adequate working
 capital reserves.  The Company has no significant long-term debt
 outstanding as of March 31, 1997.

   The Company has a bank line of credit with a Canadian bank for support
 of its Canadian operations temporary cash flow requirements, with interest
 payable monthly at the Canadian bank's prime rate plus 2% (prime was 4.75%
 on March 31, 1997).  At March 31, 1997, borrowings outstanding on the line
 of credit amounted to $423,913.  The line of credit is collateralized by
 all present and future accounts receivable, Canadian tax credits receivable
 and inventory of the Company's Canadian subsidiary.

   The Company also maintains a credit agreement with a local finance company
 for inventory financing for one of its subsidiaries.  The agreement provides
 the Company with the ability to pay certain inventory balances (purchases)
 in scheduled interest-free installments.  Borrowings outstanding under the
 agreement, at March 31, 1997, amounted to $603,326.  The agreement is
 subject to annual renewal and is collateralized by all present and future
 accounts receivable and inventory of the Company's subsidiary.

   In October 1996, the Company filed a Post-Effective Amendment to the
 Company's Form S-3 Registration Statement.  The Post-Effective Amendment
 related to the continuing resale and conversion of the Company's Class A
 Warrants previously issued in connection with the Company's August 1995
 initial public offering.  The Class A Warrants became exercisable on the
 effective date of the Post-Effective Amendment filing.  Should all
 5,140,000 Class A Warrants and 1,000,000 Class B Warrants, plus the
 underwriters' purchase option for 360,000 shares and 360,000 Class A
 Warrants, be exercised, the Company will receive the proceeds therefrom,
 aggregating up to $29,215,000.  As of March 31, 1997, 15,000 Class A
 Warrants had been exercised.  The Company can make no assurances that any
 of the remaining warrants or underwriters' purchase option shares will
 be exercised.

   Through September 30, 1995, the Company had borrowed $667,000 from
 Edward Ratkovich, chairman of the board of directors, president, chief
 executive officer and a principal shareholder of the Company, to enable
 the Company to meet its on-going cash flow requirements.  These loans
 bear interest at 9% and are due on demand.  During fiscal year 1996, the
 Company repaid $524,000 on the loans to the stockholder from operating
 cash flow to partially repay these loans.  Total loans and accrued
 interest outstanding at March 31, 1997 total $230,788.

	  In February 1997, the Company converted a $1.25 million note with
 e-Net, Inc. to 250,000 shares of e-Net, Inc. common stock.  The 250,000
 shares of e-Net common stock owned by MVSI (classified as an investment
 in the accompanying balance sheet) were registered as part of e-Net's
 initial public offering (IPO) and are restricted from sale for a 12-month
 period from the date of e-Net's IPO (April 1997) but may be released
 for sale during the 12-month period with the consent of the Underwriter.

	  During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company repurchased
 109,500 shares of outstanding MVSI common stock (reflected as Treasury
 Stock in the accompanying balance sheet) in open market and block
 transactions.  The Company intends to continue to buy back additional
 MVSI securities in open market or block transactions in compliance
 with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulations.

	  On April 30, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to lease
 approximately 35,000 square feet of space in Largo, Maryland to be
 used for the assembly of computer components: the manufacturing of
 computer systems; and the integration of computer systems for network
 applications.  In addition, the facility will provide warehouse and
 office space, a customer showroom and training facilities.  The 5-year
 lease term, which includes annual rent escalation clauses, provides for
 annual base rent of approximately $140,000, plus the Company's share of
 property, taxes and maintenance costs.

	  The Company and its representatives may from time to time make written
 or oral forward-looking statements, including statements contained in
 the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
 and in its reports to stockholders.  In connection with the "safe harbor"
 provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the
 Company is hereby identifying important factors that could cause actual
 results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
 statement made by or on behalf of the Company.  Any such statement is
 qualified by reference to the following cautionary statements.

	  The Company's operating results could be affected by a number of
 factors.  They include the availability and cost of components, an
 unexpected inability to manage expenses relative to sales growth, and
 an inability to anticipate downward price pressures by customers using
 our products and services. Also, there is the potential problem of
 competing with companies having significantly greater financial,
 technical and market resources than the Company.

	  A significant percentage of the Company's sales to major customers
 historically has occurred in the last month of a quarter.  Changes in
 purchasing patterns by one or more of the Company's major customers,
 and the inability of the Company to anticipate in advance the mix of
 customer orders and its ability to ship the necessary quantities of
 product near the end of a fiscal quarter, could result in material
 fluctuations in quarterly operating results.

	  The Company participates in competitive industries marked by changing
 technology, which could result in volatility of the Company's common
 stock price.  Additionally, any shortfall in revenue or earnings from
 the levels expected by securities analysts could have an immediate and
 significant effect on the trading price of the Company's common stock
 in any given period.  Moreover, it is possible 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 stock.
