         -------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 2.     Line of Credit
-------     --------------

The Company has a $5 million asset-based credit facility with Coast Business
Credit ("Coast"). The line carries an interest rate of prime plus 1/2% (9.0% at
March 31, 2001). This revolving line of credit is collateralized by
substantially all the assets of the Company and requires no compensating
balances. There are financial covenants associated with the line, which call for
a minimum net tangible worth of $4,791,000 at March 31, 2001 and increasing over
time based on certain criteria and an interest coverage ratio requirement. The
amount of borrowings is limited to a percentage of certain accounts receivable
balances. At March 31, 2001 the Company was in violation with its interest
coverage covenant. Subsequently, Coast waived the default and modified the
interest coverage requirement for the future. The line matures in August 2003.
There were no outstanding borrowings during the quarter.

NOTE 3.  Liquidity
------   ---------

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the
Company as a going concern.  However, as disclosed in the financial statements,
the Company had a net loss of $1,473,330 during the first six months of fiscal
2001, and the Company had significant losses in the prior two fiscal years.
Additionally, the Company's operations used significant cash during the first
six months of fiscal 2001. The recoverability of a major portion of the recorded
asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon
continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the
Company's ability to increase sales and to succeed in its future operations.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be
unable to continue.

Management has taken significant steps to streamline its operations and will
continue to do so as the situation warrants.  These steps include reducing
headcount and eliminating infrastructure and other nonessential expenses and
capital expenditures.  Management believes based on its understanding of the
marketplace that future sales will occur in a sufficient manner to allow the
Company to continue as a viable going concern.

           PART I, Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                 Financial Condition and Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------

The Company is in the business of designing, manufacturing and marketing
communications security equipment.  The Company receives orders for equipment
from customers, which may take several months or longer to manufacture and ship.
With the exception of long-term contracts where revenue is recognized under the
percentage of completion method, the Company generally recognizes income on a
unit-of-delivery basis. This latter method can cause revenues to vary widely
from quarter to quarter and therefore quarterly comparisons of revenue may not
be indicative of any trend.


THREE MONTHS MARCH 31, 2001 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 1, 2000
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 and April 1, 2000, were $779,000
and $1,381,000, respectively.  This decrease of 44% is attributed to variability
as a result of the timing of shipments and the receipt of anticipated orders.

Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was $371,000 as compared to
gross profit of $679,000 for the same period of fiscal 2000.  This represented a
45% decrease in gross profit for the quarter.  Gross profit expressed as a
percentage of sales remained relatively stable at 48% in 2001 as compared to 49%
for the same period in fiscal 2000. The overall decrease was the result of the
lower sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of fiscal
2001 and 2000 were $936,000 and 1,103,000, respectively.  This decrease of 15%
was primarily attributable to $133,000 in costs associated with the settlement
of litigation during fiscal 2000 and a decrease in payroll, recruiting and
benefit related costs associated with a reduced headcount of approximately
$142,000.  These decreases were partially offset by increased bidding and
proposal activity of $105,000 and a charge of approximately $40,000 associated
with a restructuring program and related workforce reductions.

Product development costs for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 were $330,000
compared to $267,000 for the same period in fiscal 2000. This increase of 24%
was primarily attributable to a shift away from billable product development in
fiscal 2001, which increased product development cost in fiscal 2001 by
approximately $160,000. There was a reduction in other departmental overhead
spending in the quarter that accounted for a decrease of approximately $100,000.
The decreases included training, recruiting, consultants, payroll and benefit
related costs associated with a slowdown in development related work.

The Company showed a net loss of $871,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2001
as compared to a net loss of $418,000 for the same period in fiscal 2000. The
decrease in profitability is primarily attributable to the decrease in gross
profit and income tax benefit, which was partially offset by a decrease in
operating spending as described above. In addition, the Company earned $63,000
less interest income due to lower cash.



SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 AS COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 1,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2000
----

Net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2001 and April 1, 2000, were
$2,100,000 and $3,634,000, respectively.  This decrease of 42% is attributed to
variability as a result of the timing of shipments and the receipt of
anticipated orders.

Gross profit for the first six months of fiscal 2001 was $1,268,000 as compared
to gross profit of $2,122,000 for the same period of fiscal year 2000.  This
represented a 40% decrease in gross profit for the period.  Gross profit
expressed as a percentage of sales increased to 60% in 2001 from 58% as compared
to the same period in fiscal year 2000 due to a slightly better product mix.

                                    Page 7
<PAGE>

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first six months of fiscal
2001 and 2000 were $2,152,000 and $2,055,000, respectively.  This increase of 5%
was attributable to an increase in selling costs of approximately $288,000 and a
reduction in general & administrative costs of approximately $191,000.

The increase in selling costs was primarily attributable to increased third
party sales commissions and marketing contracts totaling $185,000, increased
bidding and proposal activity of $231,000 and marketing studies and research
amounting to $53,000.  These increases were offset by a reduction in travel,
payroll, internal commissions and benefit related costs associated with the
lower sales volume, of approximately $166,000.

The decrease in general and administrative expenses were primarily attributable
to $144,000 in costs associated with the settlement of litigation during fiscal
2000 and a decrease in payroll, recruiting and benefit related costs associated
with a reduced headcount of approximately $92,000.  These costs were partially
offset by a charge of approximately $40,000 associated with a restructuring
program and related workforce reductions.

Product development costs for the six months ended March 31, 2001 were $571,000
compared to $628,000 for the same period in fiscal 2000. This decrease of 9% was
attributable to an increase in engineering efforts to develop bids and proposals
of approximately $95,000, which is classified as a selling expense and decreases
in training, recruiting, payroll and benefit related costs associated with a
slowdown in development related work of approximately $165,000.  These
reductions were offset by a shift away from billable product development in
fiscal 2001, which increased product development cost in fiscal 2001 by
approximately $267,000.

The Company showed a net loss of $1,473,000 for the first six months of fiscal
2001 as compared to a net loss of $311,000 for the same period in fiscal 2000.
The decrease in profitability is primarily attributable to the decrease in gross
profit and income tax benefit, as described above. The Company has recorded a
charge of approximately $75,000 for the discount associated with the non-
recourse sale of a long-term receivable in fiscal 2001. In addition, the Company
earned $51,000 less interest income due to lower cash balances.


Recent Accounting Pronouncement
--------------------------------

In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB No.
101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB No. 101 provides
guidance on applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue
recognition, presentation and disclosure in financial statements. Subsequently,
the SEC has amended the implementation dates so that the Company is required to
adopt the provisions of SAB No. 101 in the fourth quarter of 2001. Management
does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its
financial position or results of operations.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133), "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities".  The Statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the
balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value.  In
June 1999, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137 (SFAS
137), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities--Deferral of
the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133--an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133". This Statement has delayed the effective date of SFAS 133 until fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. In June 2000, SFAS No. 133 was amended by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138 (SFAS 138), "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133. The Company has adopted this Statement during the first quarter of this
fiscal year. There was no material impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations as a result of the adoption.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1,814,000 or 58% to $1,308,000 as of
March 31, 2001, from a balance of $3,122,000 at September 30, 2000. This
decrease was primarily due to a loss from operations and an increase of accounts
receivable.  The current ratio decreased slightly to 5.9:1 at March 31, 2001
compared to 6.6:1 as of September 30, 2000.

The Company has a $5 million asset-based credit facility with Coast Business
Credit ("Coast"). The line carries an interest rate of prime plus  1/2% (9.0%
at March 31, 2001). This revolving line of credit is collateralized by
substantially all the assets of the Company and requires no compensating
balances. There are financial covenants associated with the line, which call for
a minimum net tangible worth of $4,791,000 at March 31, 2001 and increasing over
time based on certain criteria and an interest coverage ratio requirement. The
amount of borrowings is limited to a percentage of certain accounts receivable
balances. At March 31, 2001 the Company was in violation with its interest
coverage covenant. The bank subsequently waived the violation and the covenant
was amended going forward. The line matures in August 2003. There were no
outstanding borrowings during the quarter. Management believes this credit
facility will meet its current credit needs.  Management anticipates no unusual
capital expenditures during the remainder of fiscal 2001.

The Company's revenues have historically included significant transactions with
foreign governments and other organizations. The Company expects this trend to
continue.  The timing of these transactions has in the past and will in the
future impact the cash flow of the Company. Although the Company believes there
are currently sufficient cash and available funds under the line of credit to
meet its working capital needs, delays in the timing of significant transactions
may cause the Company to reevaluate and adjust its operations.
