 Item 2.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 Results of Operations
 Quarters ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
     The Company  reported a net loss of $2,233,000  for the quarter ended June
30, 1997 as compared to a net income of $46,840 for the similar  period in 1996.
Revenues were up $59,000 from the similar  period in 1996,  while the unadjusted
gross margin decreased from  approximately  28.3% to 8.5%.  Adjusted margins for
the period were (24%).

     One  significant  factor  contributing  to the 2nd Qtr loss was less  than
expected  revenues of $3.6M  versus a $6.0M  budget  which caused the Company to
operate below sales volume  breakeven.  The Company had  $8,500,000 in confirmed
backlog at the end of the quarter,  consisting  of  approximately  $1,000,000 in
orders that would have been shipped 2nd Qtr had the orders been taken earlier in
the quarter.  The  remaining  $7,500,000 in backlog were for delivery in August.
These August deliveries were completed according to contract in August, 1997.

      Another contributor to the 2nd Qtr loss was a decrease in unadjusted gross
margins  from  28.3% to 8.5%  from the  similar  period  in  1996.  The  Company
attributes this drop in margin to the  commencement of certain large,  long term
contracts  which were initiated at low margin.  It is the Company's  expectation
that margins on these  contracts will improve over time due to industry  related
pricing declines. There can be no assurance,  however, that margins will improve
on these or other contracts.  Management  believes that the decline in margin is
further attributable to a temporary loss of focus on product pricing as compared
to actual  inventory  valuation  and a  reduction  in the  Company's  ability to
purchase  economically  due to present cash  constraints.  Margins have improved
throughout  3rd Qtr as the result of renewed  focus in these  areas.  There can,
however, be no assurance that this improvement will continue or that the Company
can maintain desirable margins.

The Company's adjusted gross margin on sales dropped to (10.2%) as the result of
an  unexpected  physical  inventory  adjustment  of $681,000.  A portion of this
adjustment  comes from the  revaluation  of stocked  inventory  in  response  to
industry  technology and pricing trends. The Company believes that this approach
will  facilitate the Company's  renewed focus on product pricing with respect to
actual inventory valuation going forward. Management believes that an additional
portion of this  adjustment is the result of an increase in the  distribution of
inventory to Business Centers and Service locations. More stringent controls and
more  effective  rotation  with  respect  to  inventory  allocations  have  been
implemented  and enforced to  facilitate  accurate  accounting  of all inventory
locations.  Whereas management believes that it has initiated corrective actions
to prevent  future  adjustments  of this nature,  there can be no assurance that
these actions will prove successful.

      Unabsorbed  costs for the Company's  networking,  training,  and service
 activities were approx  $514,000 for 2nd Qtr,  bringing  the overall  adjusted
 margin to (24%).  All three of these areas are being evaluated by the Company.

Operating  expenses for the period were as follows:  Sales & Marketing  expenses
increased 18% to $587,000 from the same period in 1996. Contributing to this net
increase  of $92,000  were  increases  in  telephone  and  depreciation  expense
associated  with the increase in outbound  prospecting  at the Company's  Denver
based Business Centers and shipping expenses to out of state clientele.  General
&  Administrative  expenses  increased  28% to $491,000  from the same period in
1996.  Contributing  to this net increase of $109,000  were  increases in legal,
telephone and depreciation costs. Internet access costs for the company from its
investment in WEBAcess,  the Company's  internet  subsidiary,  were $180,000 for
this quarter  versus $0 for similar  period 1996.  $64,000 of the SG&A increases
stated above were  attributable to telephone  charges.  Since the Company shares
dedicated telephone equipment with WEBAccess, approximately 60% of this increase
can be attributed to WEBAccess, as well.

     Management is  disappointed in the results for this and recent periods and
has initiated  corrective actions. As a means to regain margin on products sold,
the customer  bid/product  pricing process has come under increased  scrutiny as
the  Company  refocuses  its  efforts to assure  adequate  margin on current and
future orders. Concurrently, the Company's product offerings are being evaluated
to develop a product mix which  supports  gross  margin  goals.  The Company has
moved from last cost to average cost on inventory  valuation to more  accurately
relieve inventory on products sold. Additionally, the Company has contracted for
outside services to improve system controls and accuracy of the inventory system
processes  including  parts   substitution,   inventory  transfers  and  service
inventory  accounting.  During 2nd Qtr, the Company  appointed a Chief Financial
Officer to assist in implementing these improvements. While the Company believes
that these activities will improve the overall adjusted and unadjusted  margins,
there can be go assurance that these efforts will successfully  regain margin on
products sold.

     Indirect  service  labor & overhead  spending  has been  analyzed  and the
individual  service  groups  have been  tasked  to  improve  billable  hours for
services  rendered and hence improve their  contribution to the Company's bottom
line.  Job positions in all areas of the Company were  evaluated at the close of
1st and 2nd Qtrs,  resulting in the elimination of multiple positions.  Analysis
on all  positions  continues.  Additional  SG&A  expense  reductions  have  been
identified  and  implemented,  and  results  will  continue to be reviewed in an
effort to control organizational spending. Whereas management believes that this
analysis and these activities will facilitate a return to a state of operational
profitability, there can be no guarantees that the Company will be successful in
this endeavor.

      WEBAccess  continues to operate at below  breakeven.  The Company plans to
focus  resources to increase it's  subscriber  base to near breakeven by mid 4th
Qtr.  Unused  capacity  available for subscriber use is  approximately  65%. The
Company  intends to use its internet  capabilities  to sell internet  access and
hosting  services to Corporate,  Government,  and end users, but there can be no
assurances that the Company will be successful in taking WEBAccess to a state of
operational profitability.

 Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company  incurred a loss of $2,233,000  2nd Qtr,  1997. Due in part to
the foregoing, the Company's working capital decreased by $2,278,000. Continuing
losses would cause significant  liquidity problems and may ultimately impact the
Company's ability to continue future operations.  The Company did anticipate and
plan for a portion of the 2nd Qtr, 1997 losses, and management does believe that
the Company's liquidity will recover as profits from 3rd Qtr operations generate
positive cash flow.  The Company is also  pursuing  additional  cash  strategies
which include operational profitability,  liquidation of certain Company assets,
and possible  equity  infusions.  There can,  however,  be no assurance that the
Company will be successful in any of these strategies.

     The  Company's  current  assets were  $5,666,000  on June 30, 1997 and did
change by  $1,044,000  during the 3 months  ended June 30, 1997.  The  Company's
current liabilities increased from $6,562,000 on March 31, 1997 to $7,796,000 on
June 30, 1997 due largely to an increase in the Company's  accounts  payable.  A
significant  portion of this  increase  was the result of  inventories  received
during 2nd Qtr to begin pre-production  assembly of the $7,500,000 in orders due
in August. The Compan's note payable balance decreased approximately $600,000 as
a result of less borrowings  from the Company's line of credit.  The Company has
negligible working capital as of June 30, 1997.

     The Company's net property and equipment  remained  relatively  unchanged,
with a slight decrease from  $2,262,000 to $2,225,000  during the 3 months ended
June 30, 1997.

     As of June 30, 1997, the Company's principal sources of liquidity were its
cash and accounts  receivable of $1,747,000 and  inventories of $3,272,000.  The
company's  current  assets are expected to be  sufficient  to meet the Company's
capital  requirements  during 1997.  However,  if cash from the  collections  of
accounts  receivable,   the  sale  of  products,  and  any  debt  financing  are
insufficient,  the Company could be required to raise additional capital.  There
can be no assurance the Company will be capable of raising additional capital or
that the terms upon which such  capital will be available to the Company will be
acceptable.

     The Company continues to reduce its overhead.  There can,  however,  be no
assurance  that the  Company  can  generate  profits,  and other  actions may be
required by management.  Management, however, believes that the actions taken to
reduce  overhead  and  increase  revenues  will  enable the  Company to continue
operations through 1997. As of June 30, 1997, the Company has a sales backlog of
approximately $8,500,000. These sales are at a margin acceptable to the Company,
and the Company continues to pursue additional sales for 3rd and 4th Qtrs, 1997.

     The  Company's  working  capital,  while  stretched,  has  thus  far  been
sufficient to meet the Company's aggressive 3rd Qtr production,  inventory,  and
A/R demands.  This is due  primarily to strong  support from  vendors,  and this
support is expected to continue.  There can, however,  be no assurance that this
support will continue.

Subsequent to June 30, 1997 the Company  obtained a short term loan from a major
vendor for $2.3 million that's payable in September 1997.
