MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SALES Sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 ended March 31, 1996, ----- increased $488,000 compared with the same period of fiscal 1995. Sales for the six months ended March 31, 1996 increased $421,000 or 12.65% compared with the first six months of fiscal 1995. The backlog of new orders increased to $2,284,000 compared to $1,979,000 at March 31, 1995. COST OF GOODS SOLD Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales for the ------------------ three and six months ended March 31, 1996 were 38.3% and 39.4%, respectively. In the prior year, cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales for the three and six months ended March 31, 1995 were 48% and 51.7%, respectively. The prior year's sales consisted of a mix of ADR and TEMPEST products. The current year's sales consisted primarily of ADR products which produces a higher yield in gross margins, therefore causing a reduction in cost of goods sold. OPERATING EXPENSES (Excluding Interest) Operating expenses increased -------------------------------------- $38,000 or 2.2% for six months ended March 31, 1996, while operating expenses decreased by $62,500 or 68.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The minimal changes reflects the Company's continued efforts to control and minimize cost. INTEREST Interest expense increased $13,000, or 62.1% and $42,000 or 108% -------- for the three and six months ended March 31, 1996, compared with the same periods a year earlier. The increase reflects borrowings charged with an interest rate of 3% per month. INCOME TAXES The charge for income taxes is approximately 13% of income ------------ before taxes. OTHER INCOME Other income in the prior year consisted of the gain on the ------------ sale of the TEMPEST business, and was made up of the following components: Sale price ($350,000) offset by the carrying cost of inventory sold ($132,000) and costs related to the transaction ($13,000). NET INCOME The Company netted income of $255,000 and $344,000 for the three ---------- and six months ended March 31, 1996, respectively, compared with the net income of $6,000 and $20,000 for the same periods a year earlier. The income increases reflects the results of gross margins achieved with primarily ADR software products sold as compared to low margin yields in TEMPEST products sold in the prior years. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At March 31, 1996, stockholders' equity was $1,690,00, an increase of $347,000 from September 30, 1995. The Company's working capital and current ratio was $1,093,000 and 1.76 to 1 at March 31, 1996 compared to $602,000 and 1.41 to 1 at Sep tember 30, 1995, respectively. At March 31, 1996, the total liabilities to equity ratio was 0.86 to 1 compared to 1.13 to 1 at September 30, 1995. As of March 31, 1996, the Company's total liabilities were $76,000 less than September 30, 1995. Components of working capital with significant changes during the six months ended March 31, 1996 were: Accounts Receivable, Notes Receivable, Inventory, and Other Accrued Liabilities. Compared to September 30, 1995, the components changed as follows: Accounts Receivable - Increased $276,000 due to the increase in sales. Notes Receivable - Decreased $158,000 due to expiration and collection of the note. Inventory - Increased $148,000 due to the procurement of materials to support shipments backlog.

Effective with the third quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company will be shipping these evaluation sales at no charge.
