                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         Six months ended June 30, 1998

NOTE 1 - CERTAIN FINANCIAL POLICIES

      Financial   Information.   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 10-KSB.

      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.

      Dividends  and Net Loss per Common  Share.  Net loss per  common  share is
computed by  dividing  the net loss  applicable  to common  stockholders  (which
includes accrued but unpaid preferred  dividends) by the weighted average number
of common shares  outstanding during the year. All common stock equivalents have
been excluded from the computations because their effect would be antidilutive.

      The net loss applicable to common stockholders is determined by adding any
dividends enuring to the benefit of the preferred  stockholders to the net loss.
The holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to dividends at 12% per annum
payable quarterly.

      The holders of the Series B  Preferred  Stock are  entitled  to  dividends
equal to 7% per annum  payable  quarterly.  7% dividends  will be charged to the
future earnings  applicable to common  stockholders.  In addition,  the Series B
Preferred Stock becomes convertible into commmon stock beginning in January 1998
at a conversion  price equal to a 25% discount to the average  trading  price of
the common  stock  prior to  conversion.  The  discount is  accounted  for as an
additional  dividend on the Series B Preferred  Stock which is  recognized  as a
charge to earnings applicable to common shareholders.  Other terms of the Series
B Preferred Stock are more  thoroughly  discussed in Footnote 8 to the Company's
December 31, 1997 Financial Statements.

      During the quarter  ended June 30, 1998,  600 shares of Series B Preferred
Stock were converted to 869,814 shares of common stock. During the quarter ended
March 31, 1998, 900 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted to 810,045
shares of common stock. As of May 31, 1998 all Series B Preferred Stock had been
converted.

      This report on Form 10-KSB includes  "forward-looking  statements"  within
the  meaning of  Section  27A of the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended  (the
"Securities  Act"),  and Section 21E of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"). All statements other than statements of historical
facts included in this report, including,  without limitation,  statements under
"Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations" regarding the Company's financial position, business strategy, plans
and  objectives  of  management  of  the  Company  for  future   operations  are
forward-looking  statements and the assumptions upon which such  forward-looking
statements  are based are  believed  to be  reasonable.  The Company can give no
assurance  that such  expectations  and  assumptions  will prove to be  correct.
Additionally,  any statements contained in this report regarding forward-looking
statements  are subject to various known and unknown  risks,  uncertainties  and
contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Company and which may
cause actual results or expectations  to differ  materially from the anticipated
results or expectations. Factors that may affect such forward-looking statements
include,  but are not limited to: the Company's  ability to generate  additional
capital to fund operating activities; risks inherent in production; competition;
government  regulation;  and other  matters  beyond the Company's  control.  All
written  and oral  forward-looking  statements  attributable  to the  Company or
persons acting on its behalf subsequent to the date of this report are expressly
qualified in their entirety by this disclosure.

The Company has begun to address  possible  remedial  efforts in connection with
computer software that could be affected by the Year 2000 problem. The Year 2000
problem is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather
than four to define the applicable  year. Any programs that have  time-sensitive
software  may  recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year
2000.  This  could  result in a major  system  failure or  miscalculations.  The
Company has been informed by the suppliers of substantially all of the Company's
software  that all of those  suppliers'  software that is used by the Company is
Year 2000 compliant.  After  reasonable  investigation,  the Company has not yet
identified  any Year 2000  problems  but will  continue  to  monitor  the issue.
However,  there can be no assurance  that Year 2000 problems will not occur with
respect to the  Company's  computer  systems.  The Year 2000  problem may impact
other entities with which the Company transacts  business and the Company cannot
predict the effect of the Year 2000 problem on such entities.

Item 2.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations
Comparison of Quarters ended June 30, 1998 and 1997

      The Company reported a net loss of $809,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
1998  compared  to a net loss of  $2,233,000  for the  similar  period  in 1997.
Revenues  declined  by  $1,589,000  or  approximately  44%  to  $2,044,000  from
$3,633,000  for the similar  period in 1997.  As was seen from  quarter one 1998
sales volume remained soft but management  expects quarter three sales volume to
rebound to prior year levels.

      The Company  generated a $350,000 or 17.13%  gross  profit on materials in
1998 as opposed to $310,000 or 8.53% in 1997.  Although  revenues were down from
the same period in 1997,  margins have improved before sales volume  absorptions
considerations.  Gross  margin  dollars  were,  however,  eroded  by  unabsorbed
production and service costs of $252,000 and internet  access costs of $200,000.
These costs reflect an increase of $50,000 over quarter one 1998.

      The Company experienced a slight negative ($8000) inventory  adjustment at
the  quarterly  inventory  count,  this  compared to the  Company's  significant
inventory  write downs during 2nd quarter 1998.  Management  implemented  strict
inventory  procedures  in mid  1997 and is  encouraged  by the  accuracy  of the
inventory for 1998.

                                 1998           %             1997         %

Net Revenues            $2,044,000        100.00        $3,633,000      100.00

Cost of Materials      ($1,503,000)       (73.53)      ($3,111,000)     (85.63)
Absorbed Overhead     ($   191,000)      (  9.34)      ($  212,000)      (5.84)
                      -------------      --------      ------------    --------
Gross Profit              $350,000         17.13        $  310,000        8.53

Inventory Adjustments   $    8,000           .39      ($   681,000)    ( 18.74)
Unabsorbed  Costs       ($ 252,000)    (   12.33)     ($   520,000)    ( 14.31)
Internet Access Costs   ($ 200,000)    (    9.78)     ($   174,000)    (  4.79)
                        -------------    --------     -------------    --------
Adjusted Gross Profit
(Loss)                 ($  110,000)    (    5.38)    ($  1,065,000)     (29.31)

Unabsorbed  overhead  costs as a percentage  of sales were 12.38%  versus 14.31%
from the prior year.  Adjusted  gross  profit  dollars  after  unabsorbed  costs
increased  from  approximately  (29.31%) or  ($1,065,000)  in 1997 to (5.38)% or
($110,000)  in 1998,  due  largely to  insufficient  revenues  to  generate  the
necessary  gross  profit  dollars  on sales to cover  production  related  fixed
expenses

      Whereas  sales were soft during 2nd quarter,  1998,  Management  is highly
encouraged by the decreased  spending  which occurred in 1998 as compared to the
similar period in 1997. Sales and Marketing expenses decreased 39.5% to $355,000
from  $587,000  during 2nd quarter,  reflecting  significant  reductions in wage
expenses  as well as  marketing  expenses.  These  decreases  are the results of
expense reduction programs implemented by Management in mid 1997.  Additionally,
General and  Administrative  expenses  decreased  29% to $321,000 as compared to
$491,000 during the same period in 1997. These reductions were wage related,  as
well, as the Company streamlined its Information Systems,  Customer Service, and
Accounting  and  Finance  operations  as part of its  cost  reduction  programs.
Management  continues to decrease non contributory  expenses  including expenses
associated  with the  Company's  Denver  Tech  Center  facilities.  The  Company
successfully terminated its lease in both of its DTC based facilities.

<PAGE>

      The Company attributes the low 2nd quarter sales to changing conditions in
the  industry  (see  below)  as well as to low  seasonal  buying by the State of
Colorado  and a 6 - 12 month bid cycle which is typical in the  Federal  market.
The Company's Federal bid team was established in mid 1997 and has been actively
bidding on large  volume  contracts.  With the State fiscal year end on June 30,
the Company  anticipates  increased  volume during its 2nd quarter.  The 4 major
contracts to NASA,  the US Air Force Academy,  the US Naval Academy,  and the US
Army Academy  orders  approximate  $10M in quarter  three '98 revenues  plus new
orders  from our state  business.  The Company on July 6, 1998 was awarded a $8M
contract for computers form Colorado  Springs School  District 11 and it appears
approximately $2M wil ship in Q3 1998.

      Industry conditions have changed during the past several quarters with the
introduction  of the sub  $1,000  PC.  Technological  advancements  have made it
possible to  integrate  more of a system's  componentry  directly  onto the main
system board, bringing down the cost of the overall system unit. The Company has
responded to the sub $1,000 PC by  discontinuing  investments in market segments
with commodity based buying patterns,  by developing a sub $1,000 PC to offer to
the appropriate  clientele in its traditional markets, and by focusing its sales
efforts on customers with  sophisticated  technology needs who perceive value in
the expandability and performance of open architecture PCs.

      Management is encouraged by the renewal of these annual contracts  because
they  confirm  the  Company's  competitiveness  and  success  in  the  Company's
traditional markets. Additionally,  large volume contracts of this nature enable
the  Company to retain  gross  profits  without  the  overhead  absorption  loss
associated  with low volume  quarters.  The  Company's  Federal bid team and the
Company's State Contract team are actively pursuing  additional  contracts which
will  allow  the  Company  to  fully  utilize  its  manufacturing   capabilities
throughout  the year,  thus  eliminating  the loss of gross  profit  dollars  to
unabsorbed  costs.  Although the Company has multiple bids in various  stages of
the bid process,  there can be no assurance  that the Company will be successful
in leveling out the  seasonality  of its business,  and other expense  reduction
measures may be required.

      WEBAccess, the Company's Internet Services division increased its revenues
22%,  posting  revenues  of $86,000 as  compared  to $70,000  during the similar
period in 1997. Operating expenses increased 15% from to $200,000 as compared to
$174,000  the  prior  year.  The  Company  is  contemplating  the  sale  of this
subsidiary later this year. There can, however, be no assurance that the Company
will be successful in negotiating a favorable transaction.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The Company  incurred a loss of $809,000 during 2nd quarter,  1998. Due in
part to the  foregoing,  the Company's  working  capital  decreased by $700,000.
Continuing losses would cause significant  liquidity problems and may ultimately
impact the  Company's  ability to continue  future  operations.  The Company did
anticipate  losses 2nd quarter,  and Management  believes that it has sufficient
liquidity to sustain future operations.

<PAGE>

      The Company's current assets were at $3,153,000 on June 30, 1998 down from
$4,165,000  at December  31, 1997 as the Company has  continued  to decrease its
assets including  inventory.  The Company's current  liabilities  increased from
$5,723,000 on December 31, 1997 to  $6,087,000  on June 30, 1998.  The Company's
property and equipment  increased by $8,000 during the six months ended June 30,
1998.

      As of June 30, 1998, the Company's principal sources of liquidity were its
cash and accounts  receivable of $1,359,000 and  inventories of $1,551,000.  The
Company  continues  to  pursue  opportunities  to  raise  approximately  $2M  in
preferred stock to alleviate  capital  constraints.  There can,  however,  be no
assurance that 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.
