December 31, 1996


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 three months ended
    December 31, 1996 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 A--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 December 31, 1996 and 1995.  The Company has not realized any
    proceeds from the sale of securities during the three months ended
    December 31, 1996 and 1995.

NOTE A--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 December 31, 1996, management has
    established an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $140,000.  

    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.  No reserve to record
    inventory at lower of cost or market was deemed necessary at December 31,
    1996.  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.  When these 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.

    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 three months ended December 31, 1996
    and 1995 was $68,589 and $11,250, 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 December 31,
    1996, 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, and 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.  As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company's common
    stock equivalents are anti-dilutive.  Accordingly, primary and
    fully-diluted earnings per share are not presented and only the basic
    earnings per share computation is disclosed.  The weighted average number
    of common shares outstanding used in the basic EPS, computed without regard
    to common stock equivalents, was 10,746,625 and 10,240,000 for the three
    months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

    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.
         
    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 B--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    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.

December 31, 1996


NOTE B--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS--Continued

    However, certain uncontrollable events  negatively  affected  the  proposed 
    acquisition:  particularly,  the expulsion  on December  5, 1996 of MVSI's
    former underwriter, investment banker and principal market maker from the
    securities industry.  This action severely impacted the trading volume and
    depressed the price of MVSI's securities and thereby substantially
    decreased the value of the MVSI securities to be exchanged in the proposed
    acquisition of e-Net.

    As a result of this adverse and untimely development, MVSI and e-Net have
    agreed that it is not in the best interests of the shareholders of either
    company to proceed with the proposed acquisition of e-Net by MVSI.  As of
    December 31, 1996, MVSI had provided e-Net $1,000,000 in working capital
    (see note receivable in accompanying balance sheet) and had on January 14,
    1997 provided e-Net an additional $250,000 in working capital, pursuant to
    a promissory note under an October 1996 agreement.  Terms of the promissory
    note include the payment of interest at 9% per annum.  In the new
    agreement, dated January 14, 1997, e-Net has 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 may be exercised, at MVSI's
    discretion, in lieu of MVSI demanding cash repayment of the loan during the
    five-year period.  As a result of the restructured agreement, the
    $1,000,000 note receivable at December 31, 1996 has been reclassified as a
    long-term asset.  In addition, MVSI has 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, effective December 1, 1996, 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.  The Joint Venture became fully operational in January, 1997.  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.

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

    The Company reported sales of $8,379,933 for the three month period ended
December 31, 1996 as compared to $3,570,142 for the same period in fiscal year
1996.  The increase in sales of $4,809,791 or 135% is attributable to the
acquisition of Socrates, Inc. and continued growth in the Company's computer
memory chip contract manufacture and distribution business, as well as the
Company's laser machine vision products and systems.

    The gross margin of the Company decreased to 20% for the three months ended
December 31, 1996, principally as a result of relatively lower gross profit
margins in the Company's computer distribution and reselling businesses.  These
lower profit margins have also been impacted by a decrease in excess of 75% in
worldwide memory chip prices since December 31, 1995. 

    For the three months ended December 31, 1996, selling expenses increased by
$413,695 (432%) to $509,532, primarily as a result of the hiring of additional
sales staff at MVS and the Company's acquisition of Socrates, Inc.  During
fiscal year 1997, the Company intends to aggressively expand its marketing and
sales presence in each market that the Company's products compete in. 
Administrative expenses increased $284,943 (54%) to $816,820 for the three
months ended December 31, 1996, 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
and capitalized software costs, decreased by $46,415 to $30,201 for the three
months ended December 31, 1996, in part due to the Company's products maturing
necessitating less research and development.  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,  labor costs
associated with these research and development efforts.  Management expects to
begin amortizing such costs in fiscal year 1997 upon release of the associated
products.  Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three months ended
December 31, 1996 increased by $66,293 to $81,824 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 $25,515 from
$126,319 for the three month period ended December 31, 1996.  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 December 31, 1996, 
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 in 
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.

    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 

                                       12


<PAGE>


interim date of projected taxable income for the entire fiscal year.  The
Company was able to offset the current income tax expense at December 31, 1996,
by realizing available deferred tax benefits.

    Net income for the three months ended December 31, 1996 was $600,128 or
$0.06 per share, as compared to net income of $330,359 or $0.03 per share for
the three months ended December 31, 1995.

    As of December 31, 1996, the Company had working capital of $8,640,669
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 three month period ended December 31, 1996 (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 for fiscal 1997.  The Company, however,
believes that it may have 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 December 31, 1996.

    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 prime rate plus 2% (prime was 4.75% on December 31, 1996).  At
December 31, 1996, borrowings outstanding on the line of credit amounted to
$554,745.  The line of credit is collateralized by all present and future
accounts receivable, Canadian tax credits receivable and inventory.

    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 December 31, 1996, amounted to $465,805.  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 December 31, 1996,
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 December 31, 1996 total
$226,637.
    
    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 

                                       13

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.
