============= ============


3. FINANCING:

On January 29, 2002, Kontron Embedded Computers AG (Kontron) agreed to
provide financial support to enable the Company to meet its cash flow needs and
obligations as and when they become due through December 31, 2002. As of
September 30, 2002, Kontron controlled approximately 65% of the Company. The
Company has a line of credit agreement with Kontron which allows for borrowings
of up to 8.5 million Euros for operations ($8.3 million based on September 30,
2002 exchange rate.) As of September 30, 2002, borrowings under this agreement
bear interest at 10% per annum (payable monthly). Prior to third quarter 2002,
the note had no stated maturity date. Effective in third quarter 2002, the note
was amended to establish a maturity date of July 1, 2011. Because of this
amendment, the note was reclassified from current to long-term in the September
30, 2002 balance sheet. Outstanding borrowings under this line of credit were
$7.1 million at September 30, 2002. In the third quarter of 2002, the Company
repaid $200,000 to Kontron, consisting of $178,000 in accrued interest and
$22,000 in principal.

The Company has also finalized a $750,000 line of credit with a
commercial bank and if necessary, intends to use this line of credit to fund
potential cash requirements in excess of its current cash flow projection. There
were no borrowings outstanding on this line of credit at September 30, 2002.

4. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS:

The Company's credit agreements with Kontron allow for borrowings which
are payable in Euros. In the second quarter of 2001, the Company began utilizing
foreign currency forward contracts to protect against significant fluctuations
in net income (loss) caused by changes in Euro exchange rates. The Company's
practice is to enter into a forward contract with a commercial bank at the
beginning of each quarter and settle the contract at the end of the quarter. The
Company records gains and losses on these derivative contracts (which are not
designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes) in net income (loss)
in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Derivatives and Hedging Activities," and also marks
the related debt instrument to the end-of-quarter spot rate, as required by SFAS
No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation."

5

For the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Company recorded a loss of
$19,523. As of September 30, 2002, the Company's forward contract arrangements
allowed the Company to hedge up to 7.0 million Euros.

The Company currently has no other balances or transactions conducted
in a foreign currency.

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

The Company sells certain products to Kontron and the Kontron group of
companies for further resale outside North America. These sales were
approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million in the three-month periods ended
September 30, 2002 and 2001, and were $1.0 million and $0.9 million in the
nine-month periods then ended. The Company also buys products from these related
entities for further resale within North America. These purchases were
approximately $0.4 million and $0.3 million in the three-month periods ended
September 30, 2002 and 2001 and were $1.2 million and $0.5 million in the
nine-month periods then ended. The Company and the Kontron group of companies
are operating under agreements regarding the sales and purchases from each
other. Such transactions are in the normal course of business at negotiated
prices comparable to similar transactions with other customers and suppliers.
Management believes the transactions with Kontron and the Kontron group of
companies are at arms length and are under terms no less favorable to the
Company than those with other customers or suppliers.

Included in the financial statements is approximately $120,700 of
related party receivables and approximately $302,700 of related party payables
as of September 30, 2002.

6. INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE:

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income
(loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed under the
treasury stock method and is calculated to compute the dilutive effect of
potential common shares.

A reconciliation of these amounts is as follows:

per share for both periods as inclusion of these shares would have been
antidilutive.

==== ==== ==== ====



Net Sales. The Company's net sales decreased $0.9 million, or 27%, to
$2.4 million in the third quarter of 2002 from $3.2 million in the third quarter
of 2001 and decreased 40% to $7.9 million in the first nine months of 2002 from
$13.1 million in the first nine months of 2001. The third quarter decrease is
due to a lower number of units sold and fewer large customers. The year-to-date
decrease was due to a large order from the United States Army for the 2000
Series Embedded Vehicle Server that shipped in the first two quarters of 2001
with no comparable large orders in 2002.

The Company continues to target key vertical markets including
government, military, public services and utilities. One customer, Siemens
Integrated, accounted for greater than 10% of net sales in the third quarter of
2002, representing $0.4 million of the Company's net sales. In the third quarter
of 2001, Hyundai represented $0.4 million of the Company's net sales.

International sales decreased to $40,000, or 2% of net sales, for the
third quarter of 2002 from $0.6 million, or 17% of net sales, for the comparable
period in 2001. 54% of the international sales in the third quarter of 2002 were
in Canada and 51% of the international sales for the comparable period in 2001
were in Europe. As a result of lower order volume from Kontron than originally
projected, the Company believes that international sales as a percentage of net
sales for the remainder of 2002 will be in the 5 to 10% range. The Company
records all sales in U.S. Dollars.

Gross Margin. Gross margin decreased to $0.9 million, or 40% of net
sales, for the third quarter of 2002 from $1.6 million, or 48% of net sales for
the third quarter of 2001. Gross margin decreased to $3.4 million, or 43% of



7

net sales for the first nine months of 2002 from $6.0 million, or 46% of net
sales for the first nine months of 2001. The decreased gross margin percent is
due to lower revenue over which to allocate certain fixed manufacturing
expenses. The Company's gross margin will fluctuate as a result of a number of
factors, including mix of products sold, inventory obsolescence, the proportion
of international sales, large customer contracts (with the associated volume
discounts) and other manufacturing expenses.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses include salaries,
incentive compensation, commissions, travel, trade shows, technical support and
professional services personnel and general advertising and promotion. These
expenses also include the labor and material costs related to maintaining the
Company's standard one-year warranty program. Sales and marketing expenses
decreased to $0.6 million for the third quarter of 2002 compared to $0.7 million
for the third quarter of 2001. As a percentage of net sales, sales and marketing
expenses increased to 26% for the third quarter of 2002 from 21% for the third
quarter of 2001. In the first nine months of 2002, sales and marketing expenses
were $1.7 million and 21% of net sales as compared to $2.1 million and 16% of
net sales in the first nine months of 2001. The decreased dollars are due to
lower sales commissions paid on lower revenue. The increased percent is due to
lower revenue over which to allocate the costs.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses include
the Company's executive, finance, information services and human resources
departments. These expenses remained constant at $0.4 million for the third
quarters of 2002 and 2001. As a percentage of net sales, general and
administrative expenses increased to 17% for the quarter ended September 30,
2002, from 12% for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. General and
administrative expenses were $0.9 million, or 11% of net sales for the first
nine months of 2002 as compared to $1.3 million, or 10% of net sales for the
comparable period in 2001. The decreased dollars are due to lower legal fees and
bad debt expense. The increased percent is due to lower revenue over which to
allocate the costs.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses are
incurred in the design, development and testing of new or enhanced products,
services and customized computing platforms. All research and development costs
are expensed as incurred. These costs increased to 0.3 million for the third
quarter of 2002 compared to $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2001. As a
percentage of net sales, research and development costs were 12% and 7% for the
third quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively. Research and development expenses
decreased to $0.8 million for the first nine months of 2002 from $0.9 million
for the comparable period in fiscal year 2001. As a percentage of net sales,
research and development expenses increased to 10% for the first nine months of
2002 from 7% for the first nine months of fiscal year 2001. The nearly constant
costs are due to the continued sharing of research and development costs with
Kontron and the synergy gained by the combined efforts, while the increased
percent is due to lower revenue over which to allocate the costs.

Gain (Loss) on Foreign Currency. The Company's credit agreements with
Kontron allow for borrowings which are payable in Euros. In the second quarter
of 2001, the Company began utilizing foreign currency forward contracts to
protect against significant fluctuations in net income (loss) caused by changes
in Euro exchange rates. The Company's practice is to enter into a forward
contract with a commercial bank at the beginning of each quarter and settle the
contract at the end of the quarter. The Company records gains and losses on
these derivative contracts (which are not designated as hedging instruments for
accounting purposes) in net income (loss) in accordance with the requirements of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Derivatives and
Hedging Activities," and also marks the related debt instrument to the
end-of-quarter spot rate, as required by SFAS No. 52, "Foreign Currency
Translation." For the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Company recorded a
loss of $19,523. As of September 30, 2002, the Company's forward contract
arrangements allowed the Company to hedge up to 7.0 million Euros.

The Company currently has no other balances or transactions conducted
in a foreign currency.

Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense was approximately $171,100
for the third quarter of 2002 compared to net interest expense of $374,600 for
the comparable period in 2001. Net interest expense for the first nine months of
2002 was $520,200 compared to net interest expense of $1,080,900 for the
comparable period in 2001. The decrease in interest expense is due to the
repayment of certain subordinated notes in third quarter 2001.



8

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The relationship with Kontron has brought new resources, products,
capital and a global sales force. During 2001, the Company began integrating
global distribution channels, augmenting go-to-market strategies and reinventing
product development and positioning plans. The Company's 2001 focus was to
stabilize and reach profitability by reducing overhead and operating costs,
increasing the average selling price on products and reducing product direct
material costs.

While the Company generated positive cash flow in 2001 and the first
six months of 2002, and generated an operating profit in 2001, there can be no
assurance that revenue levels, gross margins and working capital can continue to
be managed to achieve similar results and maintain adequate liquidity.
Circumstances that are reasonably likely to affect liquidity include changes in
technology, dependence on key customers, decrease in demand for the Company's
products and reliance on Kontron for financing and research and development
support.

The Company intends to continue funding its own cash needs in 2002
without significant assistance from Kontron. In the first quarter of 2002, the
Company repaid $1.0 million to Kontron, consisting of $620,000 in accrued
interest and $388,000 in principal. In the second quarter of 2002, the Company
repaid an additional $264,000 in accrued interest. In the third quarter of 2002,
the Company repaid $200,000 to Kontron, consisting of $178,000 in accrued
interest and $22,000 in principal. The Company has also finalized a $750,000
line of credit with a commercial bank and if necessary, intends to use this line
of credit to fund potential cash requirements in excess of its current cash flow
projection. There were no borrowings outstanding on this line of credit at
September 30, 2002.

On January 29, 2002, Kontron Embedded Computers AG (Kontron) agreed to
provide financial support to enable the Company to meet its cash flow needs and
obligations as and when they become due through December 31, 2002. As of
September 30, 2002, Kontron controlled approximately 65% of the Company. The
Company has a line of credit agreement with Kontron which allows for borrowings
of up to 8.5 million Euros for operations ($8.3 million based on September 30,
2002 exchange rate.) As of September 30, 2002, borrowings under this agreement
bear interest at 10% per annum (payable monthly). Prior to third quarter 2002,
the note had no stated maturity date. Effective in third quarter 2002, the note
was amended to establish a maturity date of July 1, 2011. Because of this
amendment, the note was reclassified from current to long-term in the September
30, 2002 balance sheet. Outstanding borrowings under this line of credit were
$7.1 million at September 30, 2002. In the third quarter of 2002, the Company
repaid $200,000 to Kontron, consisting of $178,000 in accrued interest and
$22,000 in principal.

Cash used for operating activities was $662,727 for the first nine
months of 2002, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $580,022 in
the comparable period in 2001. The primary reason for the decrease is the
year-to-date net loss in 2002 compared to a year-to-date net income through
third quarter 2001. Accounts receivable decreased to $1.4 million at September
30, 2002 from $3.0 million at December 30, 2001 due to collections and lower
revenue levels. Prepaid expenses decreased to $0.1 million at September 30, 2002
from $0.3 million at December 30, 2001 due to the return of a deposit from a
former supplier. Accounts payable decreased to $0.3 million at September 30,
2002 from $1.3 million at December 30, 2001 due to timing of inventory purchases
and payments. Accrued liabilities decreased to $0.1 million at September 30,
2002, from $0.8 million at December 30, 2001 due to the three quarterly payments
of accrued interest to Kontron.

Cash used for investing activities was $33,818 relating to purchases of
property and equipment. Cash used for financing activities was $1,985 relating
to a partial repayment of the notes to Kontron of $410,108, offset by net
proceeds from forward contracts of $408,123.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of September 30, 2002 the Company had $7.1 million outstanding on
its line of credit from Kontron. As of September 30, 2002, borrowings under this
agreement bear interest at 10% per annum (payable monthly). The maturity date of
the note is July 1, 2011. Both the principal amount borrowed under the line of
credit and interest payable thereunder are payable in Euros. See the earlier
discussion under "Foreign Currency Transactions" for a description of the
foreign currency forward contract in effect. All remaining transactions of the
Company are conducted and accounts are denominated in U.S. dollars. Based on its
overall foreign currency rate exposure at




9

September 30, 2002, the Company does not believe that a hypothetical 10% change
in foreign currency rates would materially adversely affect its financial
position or results of operations.

The Company has no derivative financial instruments or derivative
commodity instruments in its cash and cash equivalents. The Company had $1.4
million in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2002. Based on analysis,
shifts in money market rates would have an immaterial impact on the Company.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and President have concluded,
based on their evaluation within 90 days of the filing date of this report, that
the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are adequately designed to

significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that
could significantly affect those controls, subsequent to the date of such
evaluation, including any corrective actions taken with regard to significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
