                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  Three months ended March 31, 1997

NOTE 1 - CERTAIN FINANCIAL POLICIES

  The Company's unaudited interim financial statements have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission applicable to Regulation S-B.  Accordingly,
certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in 
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  These interim
financial statements should be read  in conjunction with the 
financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual 
Report on form 10KSB.  In the opinion of management, the interim 
financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair 
presentation of the interim periods, such adjustments being of a 
normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim 
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations 
to be expected for the full year.

Revenues from product and system sales are recognized when title
to the product or system passes to the customer.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Results of Operations
Quarters ended March  31, 1997 and 1996

The Company reported a net loss of $<859,000> for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997 compared to net income of $53,000 for the
similar period in 1996. Revenues increased by  $1,154,987 or
approximately 32% from the similar period in 1996, while the
gross profit margin decreased from approximately 20% to 11%.
Contributing to this loss were less than expected revenues as
well as several large one-time start-up and development expenses
which continued throughout the first quarter of 1997.  These
expenses included (i) costs associated with the opening of the Company's
Business Center in the Denver Tech Center; (ii) expenses incurred
in the redevelopment of the Company's image and the generation of
associated marketing materials; and (iii) costs involved in the
development of the Company's internal information systems.  These
costs were incurred to complete expansion projects which were
begun in 1996, and the Company believes that the majority of
these projects are now materially complete.

Sales and service revenues were approximately $4,500,000.
Overall margins were approximately 17% for the Company's normal
business accounts.  The margins for the quarter, however,
decreased to 11% as the result of a $1,600,000 contract which was
delivered to NASA at a very low margin.  This order to NASA was
an exception to the Company's normal business, which the Company
deemed to be appropriate based upon a reasonable probability of
continued business with this particular customer.

The Company's expansion of its sales force did not contribute to
revenues during the first quarter as anticipated, particularily
in the areas of retail and SOHO (Small Office/Home Office)
business.  Towards the end of the first quarter of 1997, the
Company scaled down its efforts in the SOHO markets, eliminated
many of the sales, marketing, and support expenses associated
with this effort, and redeployed remaining Company resources
towards the generation of corporate business.

In addition, the Company's expansion efforts in the Denver market-
place were delayed due to construction and other factors
associated with the opening of its Denver Tech Center Business
Center, which did not open until February of 1997.
Notwithstanding the above, sales in the Company's traditional
markets continued to be strong. During March 1997, the Company
was awarded annual contracts with the United States Military, the
United States Air Force, and the United States Naval Academies
for delivery of PC's to their incoming freshmen classes.  Gross
revenues for these contracts will be opproximately $7,500,000.

Sales and marketing expenses increased 68% to $487,000 during the
first quarter of 1997 over the same period in 1996.  Many of
these expenses were continuations of costs associated with the
Company's expansion into the Denver marketplace and the Company's
upgrading of its corporate image.  Although these costs carried
into first quarter of 1997, the Company has significantly
decreased these expenses as of April 1997.

General and Administrative expenses increased 34% to $386,000
from first quarter of 1997.  These expenses were primarily
associated with the Company's increase in sales as well as the
continuation of infrastructure improvements. The Company
continued to make minor investments in its Internet  services
division, WEBAccess. In March 1997, WEBAccess successfully
generated revenues in excess of its expenses.

While the Company intends to continue the development of WEBAccess,
the Company believes that the majority of the start-up expenses 
for WEBAccess were incurred in 1996.

The Company's operations are seasonal to a certain degree, with
sales and sevice revenues generally higher in the third and
fourth quarters of each year as opposed to the first two
quarters. Management attributes this seasonality to purchases
made prior to commencement of the school year, sales attributable
to the Christmas holiday, and budgetary purchasing cycles of its
corporate and government customers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company incurred a loss of $(859,000) during quarter ending March
31, l997.  Due in part to the foregoing, the Company's working capital 
decreased by $1,093,000. Continuing losses would cause significant 
liquidity problems and may ultimately impact the Company's ability to
continue future operations. The Company anticipated losses in
the first quarter, and management believes it has adequate
liquidity to sustain future operations.

The Company's current assets were at $6,710,000 as of March 31,
1997 and did not materially change during the three months ended
March 31, 1997. The Company's current liabilities increased from
$5,627,000 on December 31, 1996 to $6,562,000 on March 31, 1997
due largely to an increase in the Company's accounts payable and
notes payable.  The Note Payable balance increased as a result of 
additional borrowings from the Company's line of credit to finance 
the NASA order.  The Company had working capital of approximately 
$148,000 at March 31, 1997.

The Company's property and equipment increased from $1,768,000 to
$2,262,000 during the three months ended March 31, 1997 as the
result of costs associated with furnishing and equiping the
Company's new Business Center in the Denver Technological Center,
as well as equipment purchased for the Company's internal systems
and internet services division.

As of March 31, 1997, the Company's principal sources of
liquidity were cash of $154,000, accounts receivable of
$2,237,000 and inventory of $3,550,000.  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.

In March 1997 the Company reduced 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 April 30, 1997, the Company had a sales
backlog of approximately $8,500,000, and the Company continues to
aggressively pursue additional sales.
