**nSTOR TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

            Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of nStor Technologies, Inc. (“nStor”) and all wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). Significant intercompany balances and transactionshave been eliminated in consolidation.

            Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, consisting only of recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operationsfor the interim periods presented.  These interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.  The consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financialstatements and related notes contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements.

            Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  This contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in thenormal course of business. The Company has experienced net losses of $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and $8 million and $14 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, as well as recurring negative cash flows fromoperating activities during those periods.  In addition, the Company has negative working capital of $6.2 million as of June 30, 2003, which reflects borrowings of $5 million from H. Irwin Levy, the Company's Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and asignificant shareholder.  These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company has, however, devoted substantial efforts to: (i) streamline its operations; (ii) establish the foundation for increasing future sales revenues and generating positive cash flow and operating profits; and (iii)obtain sufficient financing to cover its working capital needs.

These efforts include cost reductions achieved from outsourcing the manufacturing of the Company's storage enclosure products (“Storage Solutions”) since mid 2002 and from the relocation of the Company’sexecutive and Storage Solutions business headquarters to a more economical facility in Carlsbad, California in December 2002.  The outsourcing contract has produced a significant improvement in gross margins by lowering manufacturing costs.  During thefirst six months of 2003, the Company’s Storage Solutions gross margin increased to 28% compared to a negative gross margin during the corresponding period of 2002.  In addition, the outsourcing allowed the Company to reduce its overall operating costs,principally as a result of the phase out of the Company's manufacturing facility during the 2002 third quarter.  The Company has also reduced its direct sales personnel and other costs as part of its strategy to provide greater emphasis on indirect customerchannels (original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), resellers and system integrators (SIs)) and to provide certain cost efficiencies.  During the second quarter of 2003, the Company experienced a 36% increase in its Storage Solutions sales compared to the firstquarter of 2003.

Since January 1, 2001 and through July 31, 2003, the Company obtained $25.6 million of equity and debt financingfrom private investors.  Of these amounts, (i) $12.1 million was received in 2001 from Maurice Halperin, theCompany’s Chairman of the Board until his death in April 2003, and a principal shareholder, or companies controlled by Mr. Halperin (collectively "Mr. Halperin") consisting of $6 million in cash and $6.1 million in marketable securities (see Note 3 toConsolidated Financial Statements); (ii) $7.5 million from H. Irwin Levy, or companies controlled by Mr. Levy (collectively, "Mr. Levy"); and (iii) $3.9 million from Bernard Marden, a shareholder who beneficially owns in excess of 10% of the Company's common stock,or a trust controlled by Mr. Marden (collectively "Mr. Marden").

During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company converted an aggregate of $6.5 million of borrowings (including $205,000 in accrued interest) into 21,681,715 shares of the Company’s common stock, of which $2.7million originated as borrowings during 2003.

In addition, in connection with the Company’s outsource manufacturing contract, Mr. Levy has provided collateral for a bank to issue a $1 million letter of credit (“LC”), subsequently reduced to $500,000, forthe benefit of the contractor (see Note 5 to Consolidated Financial Statements).

In July 2003, the Company’s Telemanagement Solutions subsidiary, Stonehouse, entered into an asset-based revolving line of credit with a financial institution under which Stonehouse may borrow up to $500,000 (see note 5to Consolidated Financial Statements).

In August 2002, the Company entered into an Agreement For Purchase of Accounts with a financial institution, providing for a $750,000 line of credit under which the Company sells customer invoices to the financial institution(see Note 5 to Consolidated Financial Statements).

At the current sales level, the Company has insufficient liquidity to fund its operating needs for the next twelve months; however, the Company believes that a reasonable increase in its future sales revenues would providesufficient working capital to fund its operations during the next twelve months.  There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to realize an increase in sales revenues.  If additional funds are required to finance the Company’sworking capital needs, there can be no assurance that such required additional funds will be available on terms acceptable to management, if at all, or that the Company will be able to generate positive cash flows from operations in the future.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects of the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may resultfrom the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

applications and consulting services, which allow enterprises to manage voice, data and wireless services by providing a systematic approach to automate order processing, monitor expenses, manage vendor invoices, track assetinventory and allocate costs.

            Revenue Recognition

                        Storage Solutions

Revenue from the sale of products is recognized as of the date shipments are made to customers, net of an allowance for returns.

                        Telemanagement Solutions

In accordance with provisions of the AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition”, and related accounting guidance, revenues from computer software sales arerecognized when persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, delivery and acceptance of the software has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Consulting revenues are recognized when services areperformed.  Revenues on long-term development contracts are deferred at time of sale, and using the percentage-of-completion method, are recognized based upon hours incurred as a percentage of estimated total hours.  Maintenance revenues for customersupport and product updates are deferred at the time of sale and are included in income on a straight-line basis over the term of the maintenance agreement, generally for one year.

            Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts ofassets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

            Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on operating results previously reported.

            Research and Development Costs (“R&D”)

                        Storage Solutions

R&D costs associated with our Storage Solutions business are expensed as incurred.

                        Telemanagement Solutions

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed”, R&D costs associated with thecreation of a software product are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility is established.  Thereafter, software production costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers.  Capitalized software costs areamortized over the greater of (a) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product or (b) the ratio that current gross revenues for the product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for thatproduct.  Amortization begins when the product is available for general release to customers.

            Net Loss Per Common Share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net loss available to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares considered outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted EPSincludes the effect of potentially dilutive securities.  For the periods presented, the effect of potentially dilutive securities would have been antidilutive.  Accordingly, basic and diluted EPS for those periods are the same.

            Stock Options

The Company applies APB (Accounting Principles Board) Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations in accounting for options granted to employees under its stock optionplans.  Under APB Opinion 25, if options are granted at exercise prices less than fair market value, compensation expense is recorded for the excess of the fair market values on the date of grant over the exercise price.

Under the Company’s 2001 Stock Option Plan (the “2001 Plan”), stock options to purchase up to 7.5 million shares of the Company's common stock were available to be granted to officers, directors, keyemployees and non-employees.  Options granted under the 2001 Plan have a maximum term of ten years and generally vest over three years annually on an equal basis.

Upon shareholder approval of the 2001 Plan in January 2002, the Company ceased granting options under its 1996 Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Plan”) and all shares reserved for issuance under the 1996 Plan that hadnot yet been issued were cancelled.  The terms of options previously granted under the 1996 Plan continue to be governed by the 1996 Plan and the option agreements currently in effect for those options.

SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, requires the Company to provide pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share as if compensation cost for stock options granted had beendetermined in accordance with the fair value based method prescribed in SFAS No. 123.  As discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, the Company adopted the disclosure requirements under SFAS No. 148 regardingprominent disclosures in interim financial statements.

The Company granted options to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock during the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.  During the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company granted options to purchase1,060,000 shares of common stock (including 700,000 shares to Mr. Levy) and 40,000 shares of common stock, respectively. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the followingweighted-average assumptions used for grants:

            Recent Authoritative Pronouncements

In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”, which establishesstandards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity for purposes of the issuer’s statement of financial position.  Provisions of SFAS No. 150 are (i) effective for financialinstruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise are effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, and (ii) to be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle forfinancial instruments created before the issuance date of SFAS No. 150 and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption.  The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on the Company’sfinancial position or results of operations.

In May 2003, the FASB issued EITF (Emerging Issues Task Force) 03-5, “Applicability of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Non-Software Deliverables in an Arrangement Containing More-Than-IncidentalSoftware”.  EITF 03-5 reached the conclusion that in an arrangement that includes software that is more than incidental to the products or services as a whole, that the software and software-related elements are included within the scope of SOP (Statementof Position) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition”.  The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this EITF will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation- Transition and Disclosure”, an amendment to SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and APBOpinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting”.  SFAS No. 148 provides for alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.  In addition,SFAS No. 148 (i) amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net income of an entity’s accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation; and (ii) amends APB OpinionNo. 28 to require disclosure about those effects in interim financial information.  Provisions of SFAS No. 148 relating to amendments to SFAS No. 123 are effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 31,2002.  Provisions of SFAS No. 148 relating to amending APB Opinion No. 28 are effective for financial reports for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002.  In January 2003, the Company adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No.148. The Company's adoption of this pronouncement in January 2003 did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 (FIN), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others”, an interpretationof SFAS No. 5, 57 and 107 and rescission of FIN No. 34, which addresses disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued.  Provisions of FIN No. 45 related torecognition and initial measurement are to be applied on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002.  Provisions of FIN No. 45 related to disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim and annualperiods ending after December 15, 2002.  The Company's adoption of this pronouncement in January 2003 did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (effective January 1, 2003).  SFAS No. 146 replaces current accounting literature and requires therecognition of costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on theCompany’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of SFAS No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of SFAS No. 13, and Technical Corrections”. SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, “Reporting Gains and Losses fromExtinguishment of Debt”, SFAS No. 44, “Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers”, and SFAS No. 64, “Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements”.  SFAS No. 145 requires, among other things (i) thatthe modification of a lease that results in a change of the classification of the lease from capital to operating under the provisions of SFAS No. 13 be accounted for as a sale-leaseback transaction, and (ii) the reporting of gains or losses from the earlyextinguishment of debt as extraordinary items only if they meet the criteria of APB Opinion No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations”. The amendment of SFAS No. 13 was effective for transactions occurring on or after May 15, 2002.  Although therescission of SFAS No. 4 was effective January 1, 2003, the FASB encouraged early application of the provisions of SFAS No. 145.  Effective in the third quarter of 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 145 and determined that gains and losses previously reported asextraordinary items during 2002 no longer meet the criteria as set forth under APB Opinion No. 30 and have reported those items as Other Income in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

**(2)**  **ACQUISITION**

            Terms of the Acquisition

On June 7, 2002, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Plano, Texas-based Stonehouse from Pacific Technology Group, Inc. (“PTG”), a subsidiary of Pacific USA Holdings Corp(“PUSA”)(the “Acquisition”).  See Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the business conducted by Stonehouse.  The purchase price of $8.9 million, including $541,000 in transaction costs, was based upon amarket value of $.31 per share, the average of the Company’s closing market prices for the four days before and after the terms of the Acquisition were agreed to (April 30, 2002), and consisted of the issuance of 22.5 million shares of the Company’scommon stock and 1,000 shares of the Company’s Series L Convertible Preferred Stock.  The Series L Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into 4,527,027 shares of common stock, subject to shareholder approval, which was obtained effective October 8,2002, at which time the common shares were issued in exchange for the Series L Convertible Preferred Stock.  In addition, the Company is obligated to issue additional shares of common stock based on an earn-out provision, whereby in the event Stonehouse’spretax income (defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement as “Net Revenues”) exceeds $1 million for the four consecutive calendar quarters beginning on October 1, 2002, the Company will be required to issue to PTG that number of additional shares of commonstock equal to the product of 27.027 and the amount of Net Revenues in excess of $1 million, up to a maximum  of 8,687,258 additional common shares.  At June 30, 2003, there was no basis for the Company to record a liability related to the earn-outprovision.

            Accounting for the Acquisition

The Acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting with assets acquired and liabilities assumed recorded at estimated fair values as of the Acquisition date in accordance with SFAS No. 141,“Business Combinations”, and the results of Stonehouse’s operations included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the Acquisition date.  Based on a valuation analysis completed by an independent valuation firm, theallocation of the purchase price included intangible assets with an aggregate fair value of $2.8 million and goodwill of $6.5 million.  Intangible assets with finite useful lives were identified as follows: (i) customer relationships (approximately $2 million);(ii) software ($531,000); and (iii) non-compete agreement ($224,000), with corresponding useful lives of ten, five, and four years, respectively. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired (goodwill) is subject to an annual review forimpairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, adopted by the Company in 2002 (see Note 4 to Consolidated Financial Statements).

**(3)  TRADING MARKETABLE SECURITIES**

At December 31, 2001, the Company held $4.3 million in marketable securities, (representing securities originally received from Mr. Halperin – see Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements), consisting of 431,114shares of American Realty Investors Inc. (“ARL”).  Due to ARL’s low trading volume, the Company’s ability to sell or borrow against the ARL holdings was extremely limited.  In February and March 2002, the Company and a companycontrolled by Mr. Levy, Hilcoast Development Corp. ("Hilcoast"), entered into agreements whereby Hilcoast purchased 195,000 shares of ARL with an aggregate quoted value of approximately $1.5 million on the respective purchase dates for an aggregate purchase price ofapproximately $1.2 million.  In connection therewith, Hilcoast granted the Company four-month options to repurchase all or a portion of those shares based on the price Hilcoast paid plus 10% per annum (the “Options”).   In February andMarch 2002, the Company sold 183,000 shares, representing all of its remaining holdings in ARL, to Mr. Halperin for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.3 million, which approximated ARL’s quoted value on the respective purchase dates.  In April2002, the Company received $206,000 in cash proceeds from the exercise of the Options.  As a result of the ARL sales in 2002, the Company realized a loss of approximately $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2002, net of the $206,000 gain resultingfrom the exercise of the Options during the three months then ended.

**(4)  GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS**

Goodwill, representing the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value of net assets acquired, is carried at cost and, through December 31, 2001, was amortized under the straight line method over sevenyears.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, which requires that goodwill and certain intangible assets no longer be amortized, but instead be tested at leastannually for impairment.  Accordingly, the Company discontinued its amortization of goodwill effective January 1, 2002.

During early 2003, the Company engaged an independent valuation firm to prepare an impairment analysis of the Company’s goodwill, including goodwill acquired in the Stonehouse Acquisition.  Based on this analysis,the Company’s goodwill is not considered to be impaired as of January 1, 2003.

As of June 30, 2003, the carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill, other intangible assets and capitalized software development costs included the following by business segments (in thousands):

The Company provides a valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets, if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

As of December 31, 2002, there were unused net operating loss carryforwards (the "NOL's") for regular federal income tax purposes of approximately $70.5 million and approximately $13.1 million for California tax purposes,expiring from 2006 through 2022 and 2004 through 2013, respectively.  In addition, the Company has research and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $1.6 million, which expire from 2003 through 2022 and in conjunction with the AlternativeMinimum Tax ("AMT") rules, the Company has available AMT credit carryforwards of approximately $.8 million, at December 31, 2002, which may be used indefinitely to reduce regular federal income taxes.

Under Internal Revenue Code Section 382, in connection with a 1999 acquisition, the usage of approximately $8 million of federal NOL's and approximately $2 million of California NOL's is limited annually to approximately $.4million.   Currently, California has a moratorium on the usage of its NOL's.  The usage of certain tax credit carryforwards is also subject to limitation.  In addition, in connection with the Stonehouse Acquisition, the usage of approximately $4million of federal NOL's is limited annually to approximately $500,000.

At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, a 100% valuation allowance has been provided on the total deferred income tax assets because it is more likely than not that the NOL’s will not be realized based on recentoperating results.

**(9)  DEFERRED STOCK COMPENSATION**

In connection with employment agreements effective as of March 1, 2003, Stonehouse granted options to purchase shares of common stock of Stonehouse, which would result in two of its employees, including its new President andChief Operating Officer, holding a minority interest in Stonehouse upon the exercise of any or all of the vested options.  The intrinsic value of the options, valued at $830,000, was based on the excess of the fair market value of Stonehouse common stock, asdetermined by an independent valuation firm, over the exercise price of the options.  The intrinsic value is reflected in shareholders' equity as a charge to deferred stock compensation and is being amortized over the vesting period of the options. Amortization of $467,000 and $700,000 is included in Stock-Based Compensation in the accompanying Statements of Operations, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively.  The $130,000 in unamortized deferred stock compensation as of June 30,2003 will be amortized through May 2007.

**Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

**Forward-Looking Statements**

With the exception of the discussion regarding historical information, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contains forward-looking statements.  Suchstatements inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.  Factors that would cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, our inability to increasesales to current customers and to expand our customer base, continued acceptance of our products in the marketplace, timing and volume of sales orders, our inability to improve the gross margin on our products, material cost fluctuations, competitive factors,dependence upon third-party vendors, our future cash flows and ability to obtain sufficient financing, level of operating expenses, conditions in the technology industry and the economy in general, legal proceedings and other risks detailed in our periodic reportfilings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  Historical results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any future period.

19

----

Subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by cautionary statements in this Form 10-Q and in other reports we file withthe SEC.  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

**Overview**

Since June 1996, we have been a designer, developer and manufacturer of Storage Solutions. In June 2002, we entered the Telemanagement Solutions business with our acquisition of Stonehouse (See Note 2 to Consolidated FinancialStatements). Accordingly, we believe that the comparison between 2003 and 2002 may not be meaningful in certain respects. 

**Results of Operations**

***Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 vs. June 30, 2002***

For the three months ended June 30, 2003, our net loss decreased to $1.6 million from a $1.8 million net loss during the comparable quarter in 2002.  The current quarter’s operating results reflects a $542,000non-cash charge for stock-based compensation (see Note 9 to Consolidated Financial Statements).  The 2002 operating results include a $206,000 gain on marketable securities (see Note 3 to Consolidated Financial Statements).

For the six months ended June 30, 2003, our net loss decreased to $3.2 million from a net loss of $6.6 million in 2002.  The 2003 results of operations reflects a $775,000 non-cash charge for stock-based compensation (seeNote 9 to Consolidated Financial Statements).  The 2002 six-month period included a $1.1 million gain on the sale of marketable securities and a $670,000 non-cash charge for the fair value of an option granted to a customer (see Notes 3 and 6 to ConsolidatedFinancial Statements).

            Sales

Sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 increased to $2.8 million and $5.1 million, respectively, from $2.5 million and $4 million in the 2002 periods.  The increase is attributable to a full three and sixmonths of Telemanagement Solutions sales, partially offset by a decrease of $411,000 and $783,000 in our Storage Solutions sales for the three and six months periods, respectively, reflecting the global economic downturn causing customer delays in acquiringtechnology and other capital equipment (see Note 8 to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of sales by business segments and sales to significant customers).  However, the current second quarter’s Storage Solutions sales reflects a $430,000or 36% increase over the first quarter’s Storage Solutions sales.

During the six months ended June 30, 2003, 24% of our Storage Solutions sales were direct sales to end users and 76% were indirect sales to OEMs and other channel business, compared to 44% and 56%, respectively, during the2002 comparable period.  The increase in our indirect sales as a percentage of our total sales reflects our continued commitment to provide greater technological marketing and sales support to our indirect sales function.

            Cost of Sales/Gross Margins

Gross margins realized by our Storage Solutions business for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 improved to 30% and 28%, respectively, as compared to 4% and 0% for the 2002 periods. Thisimprovement reflects significantly lower material costs attributable to the commencement during the 2002 third quarter of (i) outsourcing the manufacturing of our products and (ii) shipments of our new 4000 Series storage systems.  Positive gross margins werenot achieved during the first six months of 2002 primarily due to (i) economies of scale attributable to the level of fixed costs inherent in our operations, and (ii) the price we paid for certain materials in connection with our 3000 Series storage systems prior tothe commencement of our manufacturing outsource agreement for our 4000 Series.

20

----

Gross margins realized by our Telemanagement Solutions business for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 were 58% and 54%, respectively.  Combined gross margins for our Storage Solutions business and ourTelemanagement Solutions business for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 amounted to 42% and 40%, respectively.

Gross margins are dependent, in part, on product mix, which fluctuates from time to time.  Material costs associated with our Storage Solutions business are subject to fluctuations experienced duringbusiness cycles that create shortages and excess supplies of some critical components, thereby creating increases and decreases in costs.

            Operating Expenses

                        Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A)

SG&A increased to $1.3 million and $2.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, from $1.1 million and $2.6 million for the 2002 periods.  The increase in SG&A reflects a full sixmonths of operations from our Telemanagement Solutions business, substantially offset by a $180,000 and $870,000 decline in SG&A attributable to our Storage Solutions business during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively.  The decreasein Storage Solutions SG&A is primarily the result of our overall work force reduction and related costs, including occupancy expenses.  During the second half of 2002, we phased out our manufacturing facility in connection with the manufacturing outsourcecontract, and relocated our executive and Storage Solutions business headquarters to a more economical facility in Carlsbad, California.

                        Research and Development (R&D)

R&D expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 were relatively comparable at $622,000 and $650,000, respectively.  R&D for the 2003 six month perioddecreased to $1.2 million from $1.4 million in 2002, primarily attributable to a reduction in R&D costs associated with our Storage Solutions business following the development of our 4000 Series of storage systems.

R&D costs associated with our Storage Solutions business are expensed as incurred.  R&D costs incurred by our Telemanagement Solutions business relate to the development of our MONIESWebâsoftware and were expensed as incurred until technological feasibility was established in 2002.  Thereafter, software developmentcosts were capitalized until the product was available for generalrelease to customers in June 2003, at which time we began to amortize capitalized software development costs based on the greater of (i) the estimated economic life on the straight–line method, or (ii) the ratio that current revenues attributable toMONIESWebârevenues bears to total current and estimated future revenues for MONIESWebâ.  During the three and six months ended June30, 2003, certain capitalized software development costs associated with MONIESWebâsoftware amounted to $147,000 and $350,000, respectively.  In June 2003, $12,000 of software development costs wereexpensed to cost of sales.

R&D costs may fluctuate considerably from time to time depending on a variety of factors. These costs are incurred substantially in advance of related revenues, and in certain situations, may not result in generatingrevenues.  We believe that considerable investments in R&D will be required to remain competitive in both our businesses.

                        Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased to $123,000 and $245,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, from $350,000 and $593,000 for the 2002 periods, primarily the result of a decline indepreciation expense for our Storage Solutions business, partially offset by $92,000 and $183,000, respectively, of amortization of other intangible assets resulting from our Stonehouse Acquisition (See Note 2 to Consolidated Financial Statements).

21

----

            Interest Expense

Interest expense increased to $158,000 and $398,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, from $120,000 and $257,000 for the 2002 periods, principally attributable to higher average borrowings. During March and June 2003, an aggregate of $6.5 million of borrowings was converted to common stock (see Note 5 to Consolidated Financial Statements).  As a result, we expect interest expense to decline during the remainder of 2003.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

We have received a "going-concern" opinion from our auditors for the last three fiscal years ended December 31, 2002.  As more fully described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, our recurring netlosses,  negative cash flows from operating activities and negative working capital raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. A "going-concern" opinion indicates that although there is substantial doubt, the financial statementshave been prepared on a going-concern basis and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of thisuncertainty.

We have, however, devoted substantial efforts to: (i) streamline our operations; (ii) establish the foundation for increasing future sales revenues and generating positive cash flow and operating profits; and (iii) obtainsufficient financing to cover our working capital needs.  For a description of these efforts, see Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements.

At the current sales level, we have insufficient liquidity to fund our operating needs for the next twelve months; however, we believe that a reasonable increase in our future sales revenues would provide sufficient workingcapital to fund our operations during the next twelve months.  There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to realize an increase in sales revenues.  If additional funds are required to finance our working capital needs, due to conditions inthe technology-related financial markets and other uncertainties, many of which are outside our control, there can be no assurance that such required additional funds will be available on terms acceptable to management, if at all, or that we will be able to generatepositive cash flows from operations in the future. 

***Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows***

            Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 amounted to $3 million and primarily consisted of a $2.1 million loss from operations (before changes in assets and liabilities) and an aggregateincrease in inventory and accounts receivable of $832,000.  Net cash provided by operating activities in the 2002 period amounted to $642,000.  The most significant use of cash was our loss from operations (before changes in assets and liabilities) of$877,000, net of $3.1 million in cash proceeds from the sale of marketable securities, which was more than offset by an aggregate decrease in inventories and accounts receivable of $1.4 million.

            Investing Activities

Net cash used by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 amounted to $448,000 and consisted of $350,000 of capitalized software development costs for our Telemanagement Solutions business and $98,000 inpurchases of property and equipment.  Net cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2002 of $223,000 was the result of our acquisition of Stonehouse in which we acquired $298,000 in cash, partially offset by $75,000 in purchasesof property and equipment.

22

----

            Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 amounted to $3.9 million of net proceeds in borrowings from investors (including $1.2 million from Mr. Levy).  Net cash used in financingactivities for the 2002 period amounted to $1 million resulting from a $2.5 million net reduction in our revolving credit facility, partially offset by  $1.5 million in borrowings from Mr. Levy.

***American Stock Exchange (AMEX)***

In May 2002, we received correspondence from AMEX regarding the potential delisting of our common stock from AMEX due to our failure to meet certain of AMEX’s continued listing standards, related to minimumshareholders’ equity and our ability to continue operations and/or meet our obligations as they mature.  In June 2002, we submitted a plan and supporting documentation (the “Plan”) to AMEX to demonstrate our ability to regain compliance. In August 2002, AMEX notified us that it had accepted our Plan and granted us an extension through June 30, 2003 within which we were required to regain compliance.  On July 31, 2003, AMEX notified us that we had complied with the requirements necessary forcontinued listing on AMEX.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

Storage Solutions revenues are recognized as of the date shipments are made to customers, net of an allowance for returns.  Revenues from computer software sales are recognized when persuasive evidence of a salesarrangement exists, delivery and acceptance of the software has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.  Consulting revenues are recognized when services are performed.  Revenues on long-term developmentcontracts are deferred at time of sale, and using the percentage-of-completion method, are recognized based upon hours incurred as a percentage of estimated total hours.  Maintenance revenues for customer support and product updates are deferred at the time ofsale and are included in income on a straight-line basis over the term of the maintenance agreement, generally for one year.

R&D costs associated with our Telemanagement Solutions business for software production are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility is established. Thereafter, software production costs are capitalized untilthe product is available for general release to customers.  Amortization commences only when the product is available for general release and is recorded as amortization rather than R&D costs. Capitalized software costs are amortized over the greater of (i)the estimated economic life on the straight-line method, or (ii) the ratio that current revenues for the product bears to the total current and anticipated future revenues for the product.

Our allocation of the Stonehouse purchase price included $6.5 million in goodwill and $2.8 million in other intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”.  These values were basedon a valuation analysis completed by an independent valuation firm.  In addition, we have unamortized goodwill of approximately $2 million that arose from an acquisition in 2000.  Goodwill is tested for possible impairment at least on an annual basis inaccordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (see Note 4 to Consolidated Financial Statements).

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets andliabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.  Results for theinterim periods presented in this report are not necessarily indicative of results that may be reported for any other interim period or for the entire fiscal year.

**Effect of Inflation**

During recent years, inflation has not had an impact on our operations and we do not expect that it will have a material impact in 2003.

**Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

We maintain a floating interest rate revolving credit facility for our Telemanagement Solutions business ($229,000 outstanding balance at June 30, 2003).  Therefore, we are subject to market risk arising from increases tothe prime rate.

**Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

(a) Our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the"Exchange Act")).  Based on that evaluation, these officers have concluded that as of June 30, 2003, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries)required to be included in our reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act. 

(b) There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2003 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls overfinancial reporting.
