3.   In June 2001, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board approved Statement
     of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 142 "Goodwill and Other  Intangible
     Assets" which is effective January 1, 2002. Under SFAS 142, amortization of
     goodwill,  including goodwill recorded in past business combinations,  will
     discontinue  upon adoption of this  standard.  All goodwill and  intangible
     assets will be tested for  impairment in accordance  with the provisions of
     the  Statement.  It is  anticipated  that  this  Statement  will not have a
     material effect on the financial condition of the Company.

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

     In 2001, the Company has three reportable segments, Restaurant,  Industrial
     and Government.  In previous years, the Restaurant and Industrial  segments
     were combined in the Transaction Processing segment. 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 Industrial segment, for 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.  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  test sites,  and for planning,
     executing  and  evaluating  experiments  involving  new or  advanced  radar
     systems.  In 2000,  the Company had an  additional  segment,  which was its
     Vision  business.  The Vision segment was involved in the  manufacture  and
     sale of image processing  systems for the  food-processing  industry.  This
     segment was disposed of in 2000.  Intersegment  sales and transfers are not
     material.

 Item 2
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                         QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
                                  COMPARED WITH
                        QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000


     The Company reported  revenues of $28.2 million for the third quarter ended
2001,  a  decline  of 3% from the $29  million  reported  in 2000.  The  Company
recorded  net income of $80,000 or diluted  earnings per share of $.01 for 2001.
This  compares to a net loss of $1.2  million or diluted  loss per share of $.15
for 2000.

     Product revenues were $12 million in 2001, a decrease of 13% from the $13.8
million recorded in 2000. This decrease was due to lower Restaurant System sales
caused by delayed  orders as customers  awaited the release of the Company's new
POS4XP(TM)  system.  This product is now  released  and the Company  anticipates
restored  product revenue growth in the fourth  quarter.  Product revenue in the
third quarter of 2001 includes two new major accounts.  The Company was selected
by Boston  Market to supply  systems  to all of their 650  stores.  Second,  the
Company was selected by Carnival  Cruise Lines to be the  exclusive  supplier of
POS systems to all of their fleet.


     Customer  service revenues were $8.5 million in 2001, a decrease of 3% from
the $8.8  million  in 2000.  This  decline  was  primarily  the  result of fewer
installations  directly  related to the lower product sales discussed above. The
Company's  service offerings  include  installation,  twenty-four hour help desk
support and various field and on-site service options.

     Contract  revenues  were $7.7  million  in 2001,  an  increase  of 20% when
compared to the $6.4 million  recorded in the same period in 2000. This increase
is due primarily to Naval  contracts to operate and maintain  communications  in
support of Fleet  Operations.  The Company has become a recognized leader in the
conversion of military communications  facilities to contractor operations.  The
U.S.  Government is continuing to emphasize the outsourcing of military facility
operations,  and  management  anticipates  further growth in this segment of our
government  business.  The increase is also attributable to a floodplain-mapping
contract with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

     Product  margins  were 31% for 2001  compared to 25% for the same period in
2000. This improvement is attributable to increased  iN.fusion  Software content
in product sales reflecting the Company's  progress in implementing its software
strategy.

     Customer  service  margins  were 17% in 2001  compared  to 25% for the same
period in 2000. This decrease was the result of certain  inefficiencies  related
to installation scheduling due to lower than planned activity. Additionally, the
third quarter of 2000 benefited from a physical inventory adjustment.

     Contract  margins  were 6% in 2001  compared  to 7% for the same  period in
2000.  This is  attributable  to a small change in contract mix.  Margins on the
Company's government contract business typically run between 5% and 6%.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4 million in 2001 versus
$5.2  million for the same period in 2000,  a decrease of 24%.  This decline was
the result of cost reductions made by the Company over the past year.

     Research and development  expenses were $1.6 million in 2001, a decrease of
41% from the $2.6 million recorded for the same period in 2000. This decrease is
due to the successful  completion of the new POS4XP system.  The Company expects
to increase  research and development  slightly over the next few quarters as it
undertakes  new  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.  The reduction in
interest  expense  is  primarily  due to lower  interest  rates  during  2001 as
compared to 2000.



                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                      NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
                                  COMPARED WITH
                      NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000


     The Company  reported  revenues of $84.9  million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, an increase of 17% from the $72.5 million  reported in 2000.
The Company  recorded  net income of $356,000 or diluted  earnings  per share of
$.05 for 2001.  This  compares  to a net loss of $9 million or diluted  loss per
share of $1.13 for 2000.

     Product  revenues  were $37.2  million in 2001, an increase of 21% from the
$30.7 million  recorded in 2000. This increase is due to  dramatically  improved
sales in the Company's  Restaurant  business.  Sales increased to McDonald's and
Tricon.  Additionally,  the Company added several new accounts  including Boston
Market and Carnival Cruise Lines.

     Customer  service  revenues  were $25.1  million in 2001, an increase of 7%
from  the  $23.4  million  in 2000.  This  increase  was the  result  of  higher
installation  revenue,  which is related to product  volume,  and field  service
revenue as a result of new contracts and certain price increases.

     Contract  revenues  were $22.5  million in 2001,  an  increase  of 22% when
compared to the $18.5 million recorded in the same period in 2000. This increase
is due primarily to the Naval communication contracts and the floodplain mapping
work discussed earlier.

     Product  margins  were 33% for 2001  compared to 22% for the same period in
2000.  This   improvement  is  attributable  to  greater   absorption  of  fixed
manufacturing costs on higher product volume and to a more favorable product mix
including a higher software content.

     Customer  service  margins  were 20% in 2001  compared  to 12% for the same
period in 2000. This margin improvement was the result of improved  efficiencies
and certain price increases.

     Contract  margins  were 6% in 2001  versus 7% for the same  period in 2000.
This is in line with historical margins of 5 to 6 %.

     Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  were $12.5 million in 2001
versus  $17.3  million  for the same  period in 2000,  a decrease  of 28%.  This
decline  was  the  result  of  recent  cost  reductions  made  by  the  Company.
Additionally,  the first six  months of 2000  included  a charge  relating  to a
one-time early retirement program offered to eligible employees.


                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                      NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001

                      NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000


     Research and development  expenses were $5.5 million in 2001, a decrease of
23% from the $7.2 million  recorded for the same period in 2000. This decline is
due to the  completion  of the new POS4XP  system and to certain  other  expense
reductions.  The Company is continuing  its  investment in restaurant  products,
including  its  iN.fusion  software  suite  and in  its  manufacturing/warehouse
business.  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. The average amount of
outstanding borrowings was higher during 2001 than in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The  Company's  primary  source of liquidity has been from  operations  and
lines of credit with  various  banks.  For the nine months ended  September  30,
2001, the Company generated cash flow from operating  activities of $2.6 million
compared  to cash  used by  operating  activities  of $7.6  million  in 2000.  A
reduction in inventory  and cost  cutting  measures  taken by the Company in the
fourth quarter of 2000  contributed to the positive cash flow in 2001.  This was
partially  offset  by the  timing  of vendor  payments.  In 2000,  cash flow was
adversely  affected by a large operating loss, an increase of inventory,  and in
the timing of vendor payments.

     Cash used in  investing  activities  was $1  million  in 2001  versus  $1.6
million in 2000. In 2001 capital  expenditures  were primarily for manufacturing
equipment and for  improvements to the Company's  customer  service  facility in
Boulder,  Colorado and the Company  capitalized  $590,000 of software  costs. In
2000,  capital  expenditures  were  primarily for  renovations  to the Company's
corporate  facilities  and  capitalized  software  costs amounted to $770,000.

                      NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001

                      NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000


     Cash used by financing activities was $1.4 million in 2001 compared to cash
provided  of  $8.8  million  in  2000.   In  2001,   the  Company   reduced  its
line-of-credit  borrowings by $1.3 million.  In 2000, the Company  increased its
line-of-credit borrowings by $7.8 million and secured a mortgage on a portion of
its  headquarter  facilities.  This was  partially  offset by the  repurchase of
336,800 shares of its stock for $1.4 million.

     The Company currently has  line-of-credit  agreements,  which aggregate $20
million with certain banks. At September 30, 2001, $12.5 million was outstanding
under these  agreements.  The Company  believes  that it has adequate  financial
resources to meet its future liquidity and capital requirements in 2001.

Other Matters

     Inflation  had little effect on revenues and related costs during the first
nine months of 2001.  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
$12.5  million at September  30, 2001.  Management  believes  that  increases in
short-term rates could have an adverse effect on the Company's 2001 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.

     In June 2001, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board approved Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets"
which is effective  January 1, 2002.  Under SFAS 142,  amortization of goodwill,
including goodwill recorded in past business combinations, will discontinue upon
adoption of this standard. All goodwill and intangible assets will be tested for
impairment in accordance with the provisions of the Statement. It is anticipated
that this Statement will not have a material  effect on the financial  condition
of the Company.
