Notes to Interim Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation
While the accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited, they have
been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of the Company, all material
adjustments and disclosures necessary to fairly present the results of such
periods have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto for the year ended June 30, 1996, as included in the Form 10-K,
previously filed. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to
conform with the current year presentation. The results of operations for the
period ended December 31, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for the year ending June 30, 1997.
2. Marketable Securities
The Company has invested a portion of its available cash balances in
marketable securities. In accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, the Company has determined that all
marketable securities should be classified as available for sale securities.
Accordingly, these securities are reported at their respective market values and
are classified as current assets. The Company's results from operations will
include earnings from such securities as calculated on a yield-to-maturity
basis. Unrealized gains and losses from the changes in fair value are excluded
from income and are reported as an adjustment to stockholders' equity, net of
the deferred tax effect. The Company's marketable securities consist of direct
and implied obligations of the U. S. Government, commercial paper, certificates
of deposit, and corporate bonds.
3. Inventories
Net inventories at December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1996, consisted of the
following (in thousands):

</TABLE>
4. Income Taxes
The Company's effective income tax rate as reflected in the accompanying
income statement for the three months and the six months ended December 31,
1996, has been significantly impacted by the utilization of net operating loss
carryforwards. During the three months and six months ended December 31, 1996,
the impact of accounting for net operating loss carryforwards yielded an
effective tax rate of approximately 11%. During the second quarter of fiscal
year 1996, the Company's accounting for income taxes was further impacted by the
recognition of a deferred tax asset of $790,000. The Company believes that it
is more likely than not that it will be able to realize this asset, which
relates to the estimated value to be derived from utilizing net operating loss
carryforwards in future accounting periods. In accordance with SFAS No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes, a valuation allowance associated with the net
operating loss carryforward was reduced and the $790,000 asset was recognized.

Notes to Interim Financial Statements
5. Income Per Share
Primary and fully diluted income per share were computed by dividing net
income, as adjusted in the fiscal year 1996 fully diluted calculation for
interest expense on the subordinated debentures, by the weighted average number
of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the
periods presented. Common stock equivalents included in both primary and fully
diluted income per share are stock options using the treasury stock method. For
both the quarter and the six months ended December 31, 1996, primary income per
share was computed using the average fair market price, and fully diluted income
per share was computed using the ending market price, which was higher than the
average fair market price. For the quarter and the six months ended December
31, 1995, both primary and fully diluted income per share were computed using
the average market price, which was higher than the ending market price. Shares
used in primary and fully diluted income per share calculations are presented
below (in thousands):

6. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Recently, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of. The adoption of this
standard is required for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1995. The Company has adopted this standard for fiscal 1997, and
the impact of the adoption is not material.
Recently, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.
This standard, which establishes a fair value method of accounting for stock-
based compensation plans, also permits an election to continue following the
requirements of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,
with disclosure of pro forma net income and net income per share under SFAS No.
123. SFAS No. 123 is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1995.
The Company has elected to continue to follow the requirements of APB Opinion
No. 25, with the pro forma disclosure requirements promulgated by SFAS No. 123
for fiscal year 1997. The impact of the adoption is not material.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
For the three months ended December 31, 1996, the Company reported net
sales of $3,389,000, as compared to $3,952,000 in the same period of the prior
year. DSP-based sales were $2,677,000, or 79% of total sales during the quarter.
On a comparative basis, sales from DSP-based products were $2,696,000, or 68% of
total revenues during the same quarter in the prior year. Sales from non-DSP
products declined to $712,000 as compared to $1,256,000 during the same period
in the prior year and generally will continue to decline. The Company has
reported two consecutive sequential increases in revenues since the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1996 due to increased shipments of DSP-based products. The
timing of customer order flow for DSP-based products can be irregular and is
significantly impacted by federal funding decisions. Further impacting customer
order flow are customer development and product deployment delays. Delivery
schedules explicit in recent customer orders suggest that overall revenue growth
may continue to be irregular. For the six months ended December 31, 1996, the
Company reported net sales of $6,414,000, as compared to $8,410,000 in the same
period of the prior year. This decline on a comparative basis can be attributed
to the same factors described above especially as it relates to federal funding
decisions.
Gross margin percent for the quarter ended December 31, 1996, was 48%, as
compared to 51% for the same period in the prior year. This decline can be
generally attributed to provisions made for obsolete inventory, warranty and
production related scrap. Gross margin percent for the six months ended
December 31, 1996, was 51%, as compared to 55% for the same period in the prior
year. The Company's historical gross margin percentage has varied by quarter in
both a positive and negative fashion due to volume related efficiencies and
changes in customer and specific product mix. Such changes in customer and
specific product mix may continue to impact gross margin percentages in a
similar fashion during future reporting periods as DSP products comprise a
larger percentage of sales.
During the three months ended December 31, 1996, operating expenses were
$1,390,000, or 41% of net sales, as compared to $1,326,000, or 34% of net sales,
during the same period in the prior year. During the six months ended December
31, 1996, operating expenses were $2,679,000, or 42% of net sales, as compared
to $2,617,000, or 31% of net sales, during the same period in the prior year.
For both the quarter and the six months ended December 31, 1996, expressed in
absolute dollars, total operating expenses increased slightly when compared to
the prior year. Absolute spending levels for sales and marketing decreased on a
comparative basis due to a number of factors including reduced levels of
discretionary marketing expenditures and reduced sales commissions. Engineering
and product development related expenses increased on a comparative basis as did
general and administrative expenses due primarily to personnel additions.
Interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 1996, was $149,000, as
compared to $135,000 for the same period in the prior year. Interest income for
the six months ended December 31, 1996, was $284,000, as compared to $191,000
for the same period in the prior year. The increase in interest income is
primarily the result of earnings from marketable securities purchased with the
net proceeds of the Company's IPO.
The Company reported net income of $344,000 for the quarter ended December
31, 1996, as compared to $1,529,000 during the same period in the prior year.
Net income for the six months ended December 31, 1996, was $783,000, as compared
to $2,662,000 during the same period in the prior year. The decrease in net
income for both the quarter and the six months ended December 31, 1996, as
compared to the same periods in the prior year, is due to the recognition of a
$790,000 deferred tax asset and a decrease in net sales. Net income per share
for both the quarter and the six months ended December 31, 1995, is positively
impacted by approximately $0.14 per share due to the recognition of the $790,000
tax asset.

$887,000 from June 30, 1996. Total cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities were $11,964,000 as of December 31, 1996.
