1.   The  statements  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  2002 and 2001 are
     unaudited;  in the opinion of the Company such unaudited statements include
     all adjustments (which comprise only normal recurring  accruals)  necessary
     for a fair  presentation  of the results for such  periods.  The results of
     operations  for the three months  ended March 31, 2002 are not  necessarily
     indicative  of the results of operations to be expected for the year ending
     December 31, 2002. The consolidated  financial statements and notes thereto
     should be read in conjunction  with the financial  statements and notes for
     the years ended in December  31,  2001 and 2000  included in the  Company's

     At March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Company had recorded  reserves
     for obsolete inventory of $3,235,000 and $3,253,000, respectively.

3.   In June 2001, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board approved Statement
     of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 142 "Goodwill and Other  Intangible
     Assets",  ("SFAS 142").  The Company adopted SFAS 142 effective  January 1,
     2002.  Under this standard,  amortization of goodwill is to be discontinued
     upon adoption of SFAS 142.

     During the quarter  ended March 31,  2002,  the Company  performed  test of
     goodwill as of January 1, 2002. We tested for impairment using the two-step
     process  prescribed  in SFAS 142. The first step is a screen for  potential

     impairment. The second step, which has been determined not to be necessary,
     measures  the amount of any  impairment.  No  impairment  losses  have been
     recognized as a result of these tests.  The  following is a  reconciliation

4.   The Company's  reportable  segments are strategic  business units that have
     separate management teams and infrastructures that offer different products
     and services.

     In 2002, the Company has three reportable segments, Restaurant,  Government
     and Industrial.  The Restaurant segment offers integrated  solutions to the
     restaurant industry.  These offerings include industry leading hardware and
     software  applications  utilized  at the  point-of-sale,  back of store and
     corporate office. This segment also offers customer support including field
     service, installation, twenty-four hour telephone support and depot repair.
     The Government segment designs and implements  advanced technology computer
     software   systems   primarily   for  military  and   intelligence   agency
     applications.  It provides  services for operating and maintaining  certain
     U.S.  Government-owned  communication  and test  sites,  and for  planning,
     executing  and  evaluating  experiments  involving  new or  advanced  radar
     systems.  It is also  involved in  developing  technology  to track  mobile
     chassis.  The  Industrial  segment,  which targets  Fortune 500  industrial
     companies, designs and implements complex integrated transaction processing
     solutions  incorporating  its data collection and management  software that
     provide real-time connectivity with multiple host computers, diverse legacy
     applications,    "best-of-breed"   software   and   data   input   hardware
     technologies. Inter-segment sales and transfers are not material.

service  sector of the restaurant  market  specifically,  risks of  intellectual
property rights associated with competition and competitive  pricing  pressures,
risks associated with foreign sales and high customer  concentration,  and other
risks  detailed  in the  Company's  filings  with the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission.

     The following discussion and analysis highlights items having a significant
effect on  operations  during the quarter  ended March 31,  2002.  It may not be
indicative of future  operations or earnings.  It should be read in  conjunction
with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto and other financial
and statistical information appearing elsewhere in this report.

     The Company reported  revenues of $34.1 million for the first quarter ended
2002,  an increase of 25% from the $27.2 million  reported in 2001.  The Company
recorded net income of $373,000 or diluted  earnings per share of $.05 for 2002.
This compares to net income of $49,000 or diluted earnings per share of $.01 for
2001.

     Product  revenues  were $15.8 million in 2002, an increase of 30 % from the
$12.2 million  recorded in 2001.  This is entirely due to increased sales in the
Company's  Restaurant  business.   This  was  the  result  of  improving  market
conditions,  the acceptance of our new POS4XP(TM)  product and some new accounts
including  Boston  Market,  Carnival  Cruise Lines and the Turning Stone Casino.
Sales also increased to Tricon and McDonald's.



                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                          QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2002
                                  COMPARED WITH
                          QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2001


     Customer  service  revenues  were $8.8 million in 2002,  an increase of 12%
from the $7.9  million  in 2001.  This  increase  was  attributable  to  revenue
deriving from the  installation  of equipment  shipped in the fourth  quarter of
last year,  which was  installed  in the first  quarter of 2002.  The  Company's
service offerings include  installation,  twenty-four hour help desk support and
various field and on-site service options.

     Contract  revenues  were $9.5  million  in 2002,  an  increase  of 33% when
compared to the $7.2 million  recorded in the same period in 2001. This increase
is  primarily  due to the  Company's  continuing  success in the  operating  and
maintaining  outsourced  operations  of U.S. Navy  telecommunication  centers in
support of fleet  operations.  The Company has become a recognized leader in the
conversion of military communications  facilities to contractor operations.  The
increase in revenue is also attributable to a  floodplain-mapping  contract with
the  New  York  State  Department  of  Environment  Conservation.  Additionally,
contract  revenues  grew  as a  result  of  our  emerging  logistics  management
business, which involves the tracking of mobile chassis under its Cargo*Mate(TM)
contracts.

     Product  margins were 31.4% for 2002  compared to 34.6% for the same period
in 2001.  This decline was due to an  unfavorable  product mix in the  Company's
industrial business where the software content of revenue was lower in the first
quarter of 2002 compared to 2001.  Also  contributing  to the decline were lower
margins in restaurant products due to increased software amortization costs.

     Customer  service margins were 18.1% in 2002 compared to 19.9% for the same
period in 2001.  This  margin  decrease  resulted  from  field  service  startup
expenses related to the support of the Company's new Boston Market account.

     Contract  margins were 5.3% in 2002 compared to 5.7% for the same period in
2001.  Margins on the  Company's  government  contract  business  typically  run
between 5% and 6%.

                          QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2001


     Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  were $4.6  million in 2002
versus $4 million for the same period in 2001, an increase of 15%. This increase
is primarily the result of some executive salary adjustments. Last year, as part
of the Company's  turn around plan, a salary  reduction  program was  initiated.
This  program was  terminated  in the fourth  quarter of 2001 and normal pay was
reinstated reflecting the return to profitability of the business.

     Research and development  expenses were $1.8 million in 2002, a decrease of
14% from the $2  million  recorded  for the same  period in 2001.  This  decline
resulted  from a cost  reduction in the  Company's  industrial  business and the
completion of certain restaurant development projects.  Research and development
costs  attributable  to  government  contracts  are included in cost of contract
revenues.

     Interest expense  represents  interest charged on the Company's  short-term
borrowing  requirements from banks and from long-term debt. Interest expense was
$217,000  for the  first  quarter  of 2002,  a 39%  decrease  from the  $355,000
reported in the first quarter of 2001. This decline was primarily due to a lower
borrowing rate in 2002 compared to 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The  Company's  primary  source of liquidity has been from  operations  and
lines of credit with various  banks.  In the first quarter of 2002,  the Company
generated cash flow from operating  activities of $2.8 million  compared to $2.5
million in 2001.  The primary  factor  contributing  to the first  quarter  2002
positive cash flow was a reduction in account receivable.  Improved collections,
a reduction in inventory and cost cutting  measures  taken by the Company in the
fourth  quarter of 2000 all  contributed  to the positive cash flow in the first
quarter of 2001.

     Cash used in investing  activities was $340,000 in 2002 versus  $464,000 in
2001. In 2002,  capital  expenditures  were  primarily for  improvements  to the
Company's   headquarter  facility  and  for  normal  operational  needs  in  the
restaurant  segment. In addition,  the Company capitalized  $110,000 of software
costs.  In 2001,  capital  expenditures  were primarily for  improvements to the
Company's  customer  service  facility in Boulder,  Colorado.  The Company  also
capitalized $313,000 of software costs.

                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                          QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2002

                          QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2001


     Cash used by  financing  activities  was $2.6  million in 2002  compared to
$488,000 in 2001. In 2002, the Company  reduced it line of credit  borrowings by
$2.6 million.  In 2001,  the Company  reduced its  line-of-credit  borrowings by
$474,000.

     The Company currently has  line-of-credit  agreements,  which aggregate $20
million with certain  banks.  At March 31, 2002,  $12.1 million was  outstanding
under  these  agreements.  The Company  continues  to review its  existing  debt
structure  and credit  availability.  The Company  believes that it has adequate
financial  resources to meet its future  liquidity and capital  requirements  in
2002.

Critical Accounting Policies

     The  Company's   consolidated   financial   statements  are  based  on  the
application of generally accepted  accounting  principles (GAAP).  GAAP requires
the use of estimates,  assumptions,  judgments and subjective interpretations of
accounting  principles that have an impact on the assets,  liabilities,  revenue
and expense  amounts  reported.  The Company  believes its use of estimates  and
underlying  accounting  assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently applied.
Valuations based on estimates are reviewed for  reasonableness and adequacy on a
consistent  basis   throughout  the  Company.   Primary  areas  where  financial
information of the Company is subject to the use of estimates,  assumptions  and
the  application  of  judgment  include  revenues,   receivables,   inventories,
intangible assets and taxes.

     Revenues  from  product  sales are  recorded as the  products  are shipped,
provided that no significant vendor or post-contract  support obligations remain
and the collection of the related receivable is probable.  The Company's service
revenues  are  recognized  ratably  over the related  contract  period or as the
services are performed. Billings in advance of the Company's performance of such
work are reflected as deferred service revenue in the accompanying  consolidated
balance sheet.

                          QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2002

                          QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2001


     The Company's  contract  revenues result  primarily from contract  services
performed   for   the   United   States    Government   under   a   variety   of
cost-reimbursement,   time-and-material  and  fixed-price  contracts.   Contract
revenues,  including  fees and profits,  are recorded as services are  performed
using the  percentage-of-completion  method of  accounting,  primarily  based on
contract  costs  incurred to date compared with  estimated  costs at completion.
Anticipated losses on all contracts and programs in process are recorded in full
when identified. Unbilled accounts receivable are stated at estimated realizable
value.  Contract costs,  including indirect  expenses,  are subject to audit and
adjustment   through   negotiations   between   the   Company   and   government
representatives.  Contract  revenues  have been  recorded  in  amounts  that are
expected to be  realized  on final  settlement.  The  Company  follows  accepted
industry  practice and records  contract amounts retained by the government as a
current asset.

     Allowances  for doubtful  accounts are based on estimates of losses related
to customer receivable balances.  The establishment of reserves requires the use
of judgment and  assumptions  regarding  the  potential for losses on receivable
balances.

     The Company's  inventories  are valued at the lower of cost or market.  The
Company uses certain  estimates  and judgments  and  considers  several  factors
including  product  demand and changes in  technology  to provide for excess and
obsolescence reserves to properly value inventory.

     The  Company  has  intangible  assets on its  balance  sheet that  includes
computer  software costs and goodwill related to acquisitions.  The valuation of
these assets and the assignment of useful amortization lives involve significant
judgments  and the use of  estimates.  The  testing  of  these  intangibles  for
impairment under established accounting guidelines also requires significant use
of judgment and assumptions.  Changes in business  conditions could  potentially
require future adjustments to asset valuations.

     The  Company  has  significant  amounts of  deferred  tax  assets  that are
reviewed for recoverability and valued  accordingly.  These assets are evaluated
by using  estimates  of future  taxable  income  streams  and the  impact of tax
planning  strategies.  Valuations  related  to tax  accruals  and  assets can be
impacted  by  changes  to tax  codes,  changes  in  statutory  tax rates and the
Company's future taxable income levels.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

     Inflation  had little effect on revenues and related costs during the first
quarter of 2002.  Management  anticipates  that  margins will be  maintained  at
acceptable levels to minimize the effects of inflation, if any.

     The Company has total interest  bearing  short-term  debt of  approximately
$12.1  million  at  March  31,  2002.  Management  believes  that  increases  in
short-term rates could have an adverse effect on the Company's 2002 results.

     Management  believes that foreign currency  fluctuations  should not have a
significant  impact on gross margins due to the low volume of business  affected
by foreign currencies.
