The financial statements do, however, reflect all adjustments (solely of a normal recurring nature) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of Nine Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 Net Sales. Net sales for the nine month period ended June 30, 1996 were $5,866,000, comprised solely of ADR sales, compared to $4,891,000, comprised of TEMPEST and ADR sales, for the same period in 1995, an increase of $975,000 or 19.9%. Net sales, comprised solely of ADR sales, for the nine month period ended June 30, 1996, were $5,866,000 compared to $3,393,000 for the prior year period, an increase of $2,473,000, or 72.9%. Gross Margin. Gross margin for the nine month period ended June 30, 1996 was $3,659,000 compared to $2,470,000 for the same period in 1995, an increase of $1,189,000, or 48.1%. The increase was primarily due to a change in the product mix. As a percentage of sales, gross margin increased from 50.5% of sales in the nine month period ended June 30, 1995 to 62.4% of sales in the same period in 1996. This increase is attributable to the Company's net sales being derived exclusively from its ADR products, which carry a substantially higher gross margin than the Company's TEMPEST business. Research and Development. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 were $922,000 compared to $806,000 for the same period in 1995, an increase of $116,000 or 14.4%. This increase is primarily due to the addition of staff to support faxshare development which did not exist in the same period for the prior year. As a percentage of net sales, research and development expenses decreased to 15.7% for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 compared to 16.5% for the first nine months of fiscal 1995. The decrease was primarily due to the increased net sales, as the actual dollar amount spent on research and development increased insignificantly but such increase was offset by an increase in net sales. Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 were $933,000 compared to $1,052,000 for the same period in 1995, a decrease of $119,000, or 11.3%. As a percentage of net sales, selling and marketing expenses decreased to 15.9% for the first nine months ended June 30, 1996 compared to 21.5% for the first nine months ended June 30, 1995. The decrease was primarily due to reduced advertising, promotion, and outside consulting costs. General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 were $886,000 compared to $842,000 for the same period in 1995, an increase of $44,000, or 5.2%. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased to 15.1% for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 compared to 17.2% for the first nine months of fiscal 1995. The decrease was primarily due to reduced consulting costs. Interest Expense. Interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 was $89,000 compared to $49,000 for the same period in 1995, an increase of $40,000, or 81.6%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in borrowing costs and to a lesser extent, an increase in average debt outstanding. Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes consists primarily of federal alternative minimum tax and state tax. The tax rate is substantially below the federal statutory rate due to the utilization of net operating loss carryovers for which no benefit has previously been taken. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At June 30, 1996, stockholders' equity was $2,153,000, an increase of $810,000 from September 30, 1995. The Company's working capital and current ratio was $1,615,000 and 2.70 to 1 at June 30, 1996 compared to $602,000 and 1.41 to 1 at September 30, 1995, respectively. At June 30, 1996, the total liabilities to equity ratio was 0.45 to 1 compared to 1.13 to 1 at September 30, 1995. As of June 30, 1996, the Company's total liabilities were $561,000 less than September 30, 1995. Components of working capital with significant changes during the nine months ended June 30, 1996 were: Accounts Receivable, Notes Receivable, Inventory, Accounts Payable and Factoring Payable. Compared to September 30, 1995, the components changed as follows: Accounts Receivable - Increased $442,000 primarily because of increase in sales, and longer payment cycle extended on a substantial order. Notes Receivable - Decreased $158,000 due to expiration and collection of the note. Inventory - Increased $81,000 due to the procurement of materials to support shipments backlog. Accounts Payable and Factoring Payable - Decreased by $549,000 because of payments made in the third quarter with cash generated from operations. In August, 1995 the Company obtained a six month interim credit facility of $650,000 with a financial institution while seeking conventional credit facilities. In March, 1996 the Company achieved a line of credit financing with a bank in the amount of $400,000, with interest rate charges of 2.5% over prime lending rates. As of June 30, 1996, there was no outstanding balance on the line of credit. The Company believes it will have sufficient cash flow generated from operations and existing credit facilities to meet its operational needs in the coming year. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
