ITEM 2

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with our Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in this
report. This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform act of 1995. The statements contained
in this report that are not historical in nature, particularly those that
utilize terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "anticipates,"
"estimates," "believes" or "plans," or comparable terminology, are
forward-looking statements based on current expectations and assumptions.

         Various risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. These
risks and uncertainties include those related to the growth in acceptance of
ECheck Secure-TM- by online brokerage firms, e-merchants and other bill
payment applications; our ability to integrate and offer ACH solutions with
our ECheck Secure-TM- software; the timely and successful development and
integration of the Bluetooth standard with the JetSend protocol; market
acceptance of products incorporating wireless printing technologies; our
ability to continue to develop and market other e-commerce payment, networked
payment and wireless and other connectivity technologies; our ability to
refocus our management and resources on the emerging ECheck Secure-TM- and
wireless printing technologies; the ability to hire and retain qualified
management, technology and other personnel; the impact of competition from
existing and new technologies and companies; the ability to identify and
assimilate acquired companies and technologies, the continued demand for
printed financial documents; and the other factors set forth in our periodic
reports and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
from time to time.

BACKGROUND

         Our products consist of financial payment solutions and connectivity
products that serve a wide variety of industries including e-commerce
retailers, online brokerages, telecommunications, financial services,
insurance, computer hardware, automotive, personnel and others.

         We are a leading worldwide provider of financial payment solutions.
Our software, firmware and hardware solutions enable businesses to
electronically transmit and output financial payment information across
computer networks and the Internet.

         Our financial payment solutions consist of e-commerce payment
solutions and networked computer payment solutions. Our e-commerce payment
solutions enable Internet merchants to accept payments from their customers'
checking accounts as an alternative to credit cards. Our networked computer
payment solutions enable standard laser printers to print MICR lines,
graphics, barcodes and forms and to perform additional functions such as
auditing, status checking and security.

         Our connectivity products enhance the connectivity of devices that
transmit information over computer networks and the Internet.

         In early May 2000, we announced details of our strategy to
capitalize on our e-commerce payment solutions and wireless connectivity
opportunities, currently represented by our ACH and eCHECK SECURE-TM-
solutions and Bluetooth connectivity products initiative, and shift focus
away from our established financial payment solutions with short-term profit
potential. We recently announced the formation of a new Financial Services
Group to consolidate various aspects of the Company's online payment
solutions business. Our decision to focus resources and future investments on
these opportunities creates significant changes to our short- and long-term
business plans.

                                      11

<PAGE>

In the short-term, we expect to continue to redirect resources and make
significant investments in sales and marketing, and expect minimal
profitability for fiscal 2000 as we pursue these objectives.

         On May 9, 2000, we acquired substantially all of the assets of North
Carolina-based CableNet Technologies, a provider of printer enhancement and
connectivity technology through our subsidiary, Troy XCD, Inc. We intend to
utilize CableNet's technical expertise, specifically its printing protocol
languages, to develop products that will support our wireless connectivity
and other strategic growth initiatives.

OVERVIEW

         Net sales are generated from the sale of our connectivity and
financial payment solutions and services. We recognize revenue from the sale
of our products when the goods are shipped to the customer, we recognize
service revenue over the period of the contract on a straight-line basis and,
during the nine month and three month periods ended August 31, 2000, we
recognized revenue from the sale of software license agreements by the
percentage of completion method. In the nine month and three month periods
ended August 31, 2000, a reseller of our imaging supplies, Cannon IV Inc.,
accounted for 9.9% and 13.1%, respectively, of our net sales, of which we
believe a significant portion was resold to a single customer. In addition, in
the nine month and three month periods ended August 31, 2000, a reseller of
our laser printers and connectivity products, Comark, Inc., accounted for 0.6%
and 0.3%, respectively, of our net sales, of which we believe a significant
portion was resold to the same single customer. Our net sales for fiscal 1999
included a significant replacement order of laser printers to Comark during
that year which we do not believe will necessarily be indicative of net sales
for future periods. We also sell our products directly to the significant
customer of Cannon IV and Comark. Our direct sales to this customer of our
resellers were 0.4% and 0.0% of our net sales for the nine month and three
month periods ended August 31, 2000, respectively. We do not have a written or
oral contract with Cannon IV, Comark or their significant customer. All sales
are made through purchase orders.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain

</TABLE>

THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31,
1999

         NET SALES. Our net sales were $14.0 million for the three months
ended August 31, 2000, with $11.0 million attributable to financial payment
solutions and $3.0 million attributable to connectivity products and software.
Net sales in the three months ended August 31, 2000 decreased by $3.4 million,

                                      12

<PAGE>

or 19.4%, from $17.4 million in the three months ended August 31, 1999. This
cumulative decrease in net sales represents a $6.1 million decrease in sales
of our laser printers, impact printers and services, which was partially
offset by an increase of $1.5 million in sales of our proprietary imaging
supplies and an increase of $1.2 million in sales of our connectivity
products, which includes $800,000 in software licensing revenue. Net sales
were not significantly affected by price changes. The decrease in our net
sales for the third quarter of 2000, as compared to net sales for the third
quarter of 1999, can be attributed to a significant replacement order of laser
printers to Comark, Inc. of $5.4 million recorded in the third quarter of
1999, as well as the implementation of our strategy to shift our focus away
from our established financial payment solutions and toward our e-commerce
payment solutions and wireless connectivity opportunities. In connection with
our shift in focus, we may continue to license our software technology to
third parties as we consider appropriate. To the extent that our mix of
revenue sources continues to shift toward sales of connectivity products and
technology licensing, our net sales could vary from historical patterns.

         COST OF GOODS SOLD. Cost of goods sold decreased by $2.3 million or
21.7% to $8.5 million in the three months ended August 31, 2000 from $10.8
million in the three months ended August 31, 1999. This decrease was primarily
due to decreased net sales offset by sales of higher gross margin products.
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased to 60.4% in the
third quarter of 2000 from 62.1% in the third quarter of 1999. Cost of goods
sold in the three months ended August 31, 2000 included a software licensing
charge of $460,000. In connection with our shift in focus, we may enter into
agreements to license technology from other companies. As a result, of these
agreements, cost of goods sold could vary from historical patterns.

         GROSS PROFIT. As a result of the above factors, gross profit
decreased by $1.0 million to $5.6 million in the three months ended August 31,
2000 from $6.6 million in the three months ended August 31, 1999. Gross profit
as a percentage of net sales increased to 39.6% in the third quarter of 2000
from 37.9% in the third quarter of 1999. This increase was also primarily due
to sales of higher gross margin products.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by $1.4 million or 46.6% to $4.4 million in
the three months ended August 31, 2000 from $3.0 million in the three months
ended August 31, 1999. This increase was due primarily to additional
operating expenses of $600,000 as a result of the acquisitions of Troy AMDev
and CableNet Technologies, an increase of $800,000 due to increases in
personnel, the allowance for doubtful accounts, amortization of intangible
assets due to the acquisitions, promotions and other expenses. Selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to
31.2% in the third quarter of 2000 from 17.2% in the third quarter of 1999,
due to our acquisition strategy and our associated growth requirements. In
connection with our shift in focus, we intend to continue to invest in
advertising and other marketing expenditures, substantially increase the size
of the sales force, and add technical resources as required. As a result of
these expenditures and hiring initiatives, we expect selling, general and
administrative expenses to continue to exceed historical levels. This
forward-looking statement will be impacted by the timing and amount of these
expenditures, our ability to attract and retain sales and marketing personnel
and the associated costs of such personnel, and the success of our
advertising efforts.

         RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses
increased by $134,000 or 14.6% to $1.1 million in the three months ended
August 31, 2000 from $919,000 in the three months ended August 31, 1999. Of
this increase, $40,000 was due to additional research and development expenses
as a result of the acquisitions of Troy AMDev and CableNet Technologies.
Research and development expenses as a percentage of net sales was 7.5% in the
third quarter of 2000 and 5.3% in the third quarter of 1999. In connection
with our growth initiatives and efforts to development new connectivity
technologies, we expect research and development expenses to continue to

                                      13

<PAGE>

exceed historical levels as we add additional personnel and incur additional
related costs. This forward-looking statement will be impacted by the timing
and amount of additional research and development expenditures and our ability
to attract and retain research and development personnel and the associated
costs of such personnel.

         OPERATING INCOME. As a result of the above factors, operating income
decreased by $2.6 million or 95.4% to $123,000 in the three months ended
August 31, 2000 from $2.7 million in the three months ended August 31, 1999.
Operating income as a percentage of net sales decreased to 0.9% in the third
quarter of 2000 from 15.4% in the third quarter of 1999.

         INTEREST INCOME. Interest income was $209,000 in the three months
ended August 31, 2000. This income was due to our investment of proceeds from
our initial public offering and cash flow provided by operations.

         INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased by $64,000 to $1,000 in
the three months ended August 31, 2000 from $65,000 in the three months ended
August 31, 1999. This decrease was due to decreased borrowings under our line
of credit and term debt.

         INCOME TAXES. Income taxes decreased to $115,000 in the three months
ended August 31, 2000 from $1.1 million in the three months ended August 31,
1999. This decrease is a result of decreased income before income taxes.
Income taxes as a percentage of pretax income decreased to 34.7% in the third
quarter of 2000 from 44.0% in the third quarter of 1999.

NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2000 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1999

         NET SALES. Our net sales were $39.6 million for the nine months ended
August 31, 2000, with $30.1 million attributable to financial payment
solutions and $9.5 million attributable to connectivity products and software.
Our net sales in the nine months ended August 31, 2000 decreased by $1.3
million or 3.2% from $40.9 million in the nine months ended August 31, 1999.
This decrease was due primarily to a $7.7 million decrease in sales of our
laser printers, impact printers and services, which was partially offset by an
increase of $3.0 million in sales of our proprietary imaging supplies and an
increase of $3.4 million in sales of our connectivity products, which included
$2.8 million in software licensing sales. The decrease in our net sales for
the nine months ended August 31, 2000, as compared to the nine months ended
August 31, 1999, can be attributed to a significant replacement order of laser
printers to Comark, Inc. of $5.4 million, as well as the implementation of our
strategy to shift our focus away from our established financial payment
solutions and toward our e-commerce payment solutions and wireless
connectivity opportunities. Net sales were not significantly affected by price
changes.

         COST OF GOODS SOLD. Cost of goods sold decreased by $2.6 million or
10.3% to $22.4 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2000 from $25.0
million in the nine months ended August 31, 1999. This decrease was primarily
due to increased sales of higher gross margin products. Cost of goods sold as
a percentage of net sales decreased to 56.6 % in the nine months ended August
31, 2000 from 61.1% in the nine months ended August 31, 1999. This decrease
was primarily due to the sale of a significant amount of connectivity software
during the first quarter of 2000 at an increased profit margin. Cost of goods
sold in the nine months ended August 31, 2000 included a software licensing
charge of $460,000.

         GROSS PROFIT. As a result of the above factors, gross profit
increased by $1.3 million or 7.9% to $17.2 million in the nine months ended
August 31, 2000 from $15.9 million in the nine months ended August 31, 1999.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 43.4% in the nine
months ended August 31, 2000 from 38.9% in the nine months ended August 31,
1999. This increase was also

                                      14

<PAGE>

primarily due to a significant increase in licensing revenue from our
connectivity software during the first quarter of 2000 at a higher profit
margin than we customarily earn from our financial payment solutions.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by $4.4 million or 62.2% to $11.4 million in
the nine months ended August 31, 2000 from $7.0 million in the nine months
ended August 31, 1999. This increase was due primarily to additional operating
expenses of $1.2 million as a result of the acquisitions of Troy Telgate, Troy
AMDev, and CableNet Technologies and an increase of $3.2 million due to
increases in personnel, the allowance for doubtful accounts, amortization of
intangible assets due to the acquisitions, promotions and other expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
increased to 28.8% in the nine months ended August 31, 2000 from 17.2% in the
nine months ended August 31, 1999, due to our acquisition strategy and our
associated growth requirements.

         RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses
increased by $391,000 or 14.7% to $3.1 million in the nine months ended August
31, 2000 from $2.7 million in the nine months ended August 31, 1999. Of this
increase, $260,000 was due to additional research and development expenses as
a result of the acquisitions of Troy Telgate, Troy AMDev, and CableNet
Technologies. Research and development expenses as a percentage of net sales
was 7.8% in the nine months ended August 31, 2000 and 6.5% in the nine months
ended August 31, 1999, due to our acquisition strategy and our associated
growth requirements.

         OPERATING INCOME. As a result of the above factors, operating income
decreased by $3.5 million or 56.5% to $2.7 million in the nine months ended
August 31, 2000 from $6.2 million in the nine months ended August 31, 1999.
Operating income as a percentage of net sales decreased to 6.8% in the nine
months ended August 31, 2000 from 15.2% in the nine months ended August 31,
1999.

         INTEREST INCOME. Interest income was $634,000 in the nine months
ended August 31, 2000. This income was due to our investment of proceeds from
our initial public offering and cash flow provided by operations. We did not
have interest income in the nine months ended August 31, 1999.

         INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased by $214,000 to $13,000
in the nine months ended August 31, 2000 from $227,000 in the nine months
ended August 31, 1999. This decrease was due to decreased borrowings under our
line of credit and term debt.

         INCOME TAXES. Income taxes decreased to $1.3 million in the nine
months ended August 31, 2000 from $2.5 million in the nine months ended August
31, 1999. This decrease is a result of decreased income before income taxes.
Income taxes as a percentage of pretax income decreased to 38.2% in the nine
months ended August 31, 2000 from 41.5% in the nine months ended August 31,
1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Cash flows provided by operating activities were $6.3 million in the
nine months ended August 31, 2000 compared to $1.2 million used in operating
activities in the nine months ended August 31, 1999. This increase was due
primarily to a decrease in accounts receivable and an increase in accounts
payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by an increase in inventories,
prepaid expenses and other, and a decrease in income taxes payable. The
accounts receivable decrease resulted primarily from collections. The increase
in inventories resulted primarily from increased levels to meet anticipated
sales.

         Cash flows used in investing activities were $1.7 million in the nine
months ended August 31, 2000 compared to $7.8 million used in the nine months
ended August 31, 1999. Included in cash flows

                                      15

<PAGE>

used in investing activities in the nine months ended August 31, 2000 was $3.0
million in net proceeds from available-for-sale securities and $3.2 million
for our acquisition of companies.

         Cash flows provided by financing activities were $301,000 in the nine
months ended August 31, 2000 compared to cash flows provided by financing
activities of $11.6 million in the nine months ended August 31, 1999.

         We currently have a $5.0 million general line of credit and are in
the process of renewing our $10.0 million acquisition line of credit with
Comerica Bank - California. Both lines of credit are secured by substantially
all of our assets and are subject to certain financial covenants. In
connection with the general line-of-credit agreement, we have a $650,000
standby letter of credit sublimit agreement of which $80,000 was outstanding
at August 31, 2000. There were no borrowings outstanding against either line
of credit on August 31, 2000, and as of that date $4,920,000 million was
available under the general line of credit and all $10.0 million was available
under the acquisition line of credit. The acquisition line of credit expired
on October 1, 2000, although we have been advised by our bank that this line
of credit will be renewed on substantially similar terms. The general line of
credit has no expiration date.

         We believe that cash generated by operating activities, the net
proceeds from our initial public offering and funds available under our credit
facility will be sufficient to finance our operating activities for at least
the next 12 months. To the extent that the funds generated from these sources
are insufficient to finance our operating activities, we would need to raise
additional funds through public or private financing. We cannot assure you
that additional financing will be available on terms favorable to us, or at
all.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         Market risk is the risk of loss to future earnings, to fair values or
to future cash flows that may result from changes in the price of a financial
instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of
changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and
other market changes. Market risk is attributed to all market sensitive
financial instruments, including long-term debt.

         We do not utilize derivative financial instruments. Accordingly, our
exposure to market risk is through our investments in available-for-sale
securities and our bank debt which bears interest at variable rates.
Available-for-sale securities consist of corporate debt and marketable equity
securities. Approximately $2.0 million of these securities have contractual
maturity dates of up to one year and $2.6 million of these securities have no
maturity dates. At August 31, 2000, market values approximated carrying
values. Due to the short-term maturities of these securities, management
believes that there is no significant market risk. At August 31, 2000, we had
approximately $14.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments in
available-for-sale securities, and, accordingly, a sustained decrease in the
rate of interest earned of 1% would cause a decrease in the amount of annual
interest earned of $142,000. The bank debt is a revolving line of credit. All
borrowings bear interest based upon the reference rate per annum as announced
by the bank (9.5% at August 31, 2000). At August 31, 2000, there were no
amounts outstanding under the line of credit agreement and, accordingly, a
sustained increase in the reference rate of 1% would not cause our annual
interest expense to change.
