Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

In preparing the financial statements in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), estimates and assumptions are required to be made that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information disclosures, including information about contingencies, risk and financial condition. These estimates and assumptions are made during the closing process for the quarter, after the quarter end has passed. The Company believes that given the current facts and circumstances, these estimates and assumptions are reasonable, adhere to GAAP, and are consistently applied. Inherent in the nature of an estimate or assumption is the fact that actual results may differ from estimates, and estimates may vary as new facts and circumstances arise. Management's judgments in making these estimates and relying on these assumptions may materially impact amounts reported for any period. For further discussion of these critical accounting estimates and assumption, please refer to the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates that we believe have the most significant effect on our financial statements are set forth below:

º Revenue Recognition
º Software Development Costs
º Valuation of Inventories
º Income Taxes
º Product Warranty
º Carrying Value of Goodwill
º Stock-Based Compensation
º Restructuring Costs
º Valuation of investments

Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized from product sales in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition." Product sales represent the majority of our revenue and include both hardware products and hardware products with embedded software. Revenue is recognized from these product sales when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been provided, the sale price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Additionally, products are sold on terms which transfer title and risk of loss at a specified location, typically the shipping point. Accordingly, revenue recognition from product sales occurs when all factors are met, including transfer of title and risk of loss, which typically occurs upon shipment. If these conditions are not met, revenue recognition is deferred until such time as these conditions have been satisfied.

Revenue earned from arrangements for software is accounted for under the provisions of Statement of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition." For the sale of multiple-element arrangements whereby equipment is combined with other elements, such as software and maintenance, the Company allocates to, and recognizes revenue from, the various elements based on their fair value. Revenue from software requiring significant production, modification, or customization is recognized using the percentage of completion method of accounting. Anticipated losses on contracts, if any, are charged to operations as soon as such losses are determined. If all conditions of revenue recognition are not met, revenue recognition is deferred and revenue will be recognized when all obligations under the arrangement are fulfilled. Revenue from software maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over the contractual period.

- 12 - index

Revenue from consulting and other services is recognized at the time the services are rendered. Certain products are sold through distributors who are granted limited rights of return. Potential returns are accounted for at the time of sale.

The accounting estimate related to revenue recognition is considered a "critical accounting estimate" because terms of sale can vary, and judgment is exercised in determining whether to defer revenue recognition. Such judgments may materially affect net sales for any period. Judgment is exercised within the parameters of GAAP in determining when contractual obligations are met, title and risk of loss are transferred, sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.

Software Development Costs: All software development costs incurred in establishing the technological feasibility of computer software products to be sold are charged to expense as research and development costs. Software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility of a computer software product to be sold and prior to general release of that product are capitalized. Amounts capitalized are amortized commencing after general release of that product over the estimated remaining economic life of that product, generally three years, or using the ratio of current revenues to current and anticipated revenues from such product, whichever provides greater amortization. If the technological feasibility for a particular project is judged not to have been met or recoverability of amounts capitalized is in doubt, project costs are expensed as research and development or charged to cost of goods sold, as applicable. The accounting estimate related to software development costs is considered a "critical accounting estimate" because judgment is exercised in determining whether project costs are expensed as research and development or capitalized as an asset. Such judgments may materially affect expense amounts for any period. Judgment is exercised within the parameters of GAAP in determining when technological feasibility has been met and recoverability of software development costs is reasonably assured.

Valuation of Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory includes purchased parts and components, work in process and finished goods. Provisions for excess, obsolete or slow moving inventory are recorded after periodic evaluation of historical sales, current economic trends, forecasted sales, estimated product lifecycles and estimated inventory levels. Purchasing practices, electronic component obsolescence, accuracy of sales and production forecasts, introduction of new products, product lifecycles, product support and foreign regulations governing hazardous materials are the factors that contribute to inventory valuation risks. Exposure to inventory valuation risks is managed by maintaining safety stocks, minimum purchase lots, managing product end-of-life issues brought on by aging components or new product introductions, and by utilizing certain inventory minimization strategies such as vendor-managed inventories. The accounting estimate related to valuation of inventories is considered a "critical accounting estimate" because it is susceptible to changes from period-to-period due to the requirement for management to make estimates relative to each of the underlying factors, ranging from purchasing, to sales, to production, to after-sale support. If actual demand, market conditions or product lifecycles differ from estimates, inventory adjustments to lower market values would result in a reduction to the carrying value of inventory, an increase in inventory write-offs and a decrease to gross margins.

Income Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No.
109. Accordingly, the Company provides deferred income tax assets and liabilities based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial and tax bases of assets and liabilities based on currently enacted tax laws. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets in amounts for which realization is not considered more likely than not to occur. The accounting estimate related to income taxes is considered a "critical accounting estimate" because judgment is exercised in estimating future taxable income, including prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, and in assessing the need for any valuation allowance. If it should be determined that all or part of a net deferred tax asset is not able to be realized in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be charged to income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, in the event that it should be determined that all or part of a deferred tax asset in the future is in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would increase income to be recognized in the period such determination was made.

The Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions worldwide and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time for resolution. Although management believes that adequate provision has been made for such issues, there is the possibility that the ultimate resolution of such issues could have an adverse effect on the earnings of the Company. Conversely, if these issues are resolved favorably in the future, the related provisions would be reduced, thus having a positive impact on earnings.

In addition, the calculation of the Company's tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. As a result of the implementation of FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48), the Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on the two-step process prescribed within the interpretation. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step requires the Company to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as this requires the Company to determine the probability of various possible outcomes. The Company re-evaluates these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit, and new audit activity. Such a change in recognition or measurement would result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision in the period.

Product Warranty: Warranty obligations are generally incurred in connection with the sale of the Company's products. The warranty period for these products is generally one year from date of sale. The costs incurred to provide for these warranty obligations are estimated and recorded as an accrued liability at the time of sale. Future warranty costs are estimated based on historical performance rates and related costs to repair given products. The accounting estimate related to product warranty is considered a "critical accounting estimate" because judgment is exercised in determining future estimated warranty costs. Should actual performance rates or repair costs differ from estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.

Carrying Value of Goodwill: Tests for impairments of goodwill are conducted annually, at year end, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The accounting estimate related to impairment of goodwill is considered a "critical accounting estimate" because these impairment tests include estimates of future cash flows that are dependent upon subjective assumptions regarding future operating results including growth rates, discount rates, capital requirements and other factors that impact the estimated fair value. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the goodwill's carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

Stock-Based Compensation: The Company's Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee approve grants of stock options to employees to purchase our common stock. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123R "Share-Based Payment," stock compensation expense is recorded based upon the estimated fair value of the stock option at the date of grant. The accounting estimate related to stock-based compensation is considered a "critical accounting estimate" because estimates are made in calculating compensation expense including expected option lives, forfeiture rates and expected volatility. Expected option lives are estimated using vesting terms and contractual lives. Expected forfeiture rates and volatility are calculated using historical information. Actual option lives and forfeiture rates may be different from estimates and may result in potential future adjustments which would impact the amount of stock-based compensation expense recorded in a particular period.

- 14 - index

Restructuring Costs: Restructuring costs consist of employee-related severance costs, lease termination costs and other facility-related closing expenses. Employee-related severance benefits are recorded either at the time an employee is notified or, if there are extended service periods, is estimated and recorded pro-rata over the period of each planned restructuring activity. Lease termination costs are calculated based upon fair value considering the remaining lease obligation amounts and estimates for sublease receipts. The accounting estimate related to restructuring costs is considered a "critical accounting estimate" because estimates are made in calculating the amount of employee-related severance benefits that will ultimately be paid and the amount of sublease receipts that will ultimately be received in future periods. Actual amounts paid for employee-related severance benefits can vary from these estimates depending upon the number of employees actually receiving severance payments. Actual sublease receipts received may also vary from estimates.

Valuation of Investments: As of June 30, 2008, we held an auction rate municipal debt security investment with a cost basis equal to its par value of $2.45 million and an estimated fair value of $2.1 million. Prior to March 31, 2008, the Company had valued such investments at par value; however, the periodic auctions for this investment failed in February 2008 and subsequent months and there is no active market for this or similar securities at the current time. In determining the fair value for this investment, the Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS 157, which establishes a comprehensive framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Specifically, this statement sets forth a definition of fair value and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest prices to unobservable inputs.

In estimating fair value, the Company considers various factors, including the security's investment rating, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee and the underlying collateral, the financial condition of the guarantor, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost basis, the estimated length of time for which the investment is expected to be illiquid, the estimated future cash flows expected to be received, the estimated investment premium required by a hypothetical purchaser of the investment to compensate for future illiquidity, and our ability and intent to hold the investment until maturity or for a sufficient period of time to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. The accounting estimate related to valuation of investments is considered a "critical accounting estimate" because estimates are made in valuing this investment, as well as, a determination of whether the decline in fair value of the investment is temporary or other-than-temporary. If it were judged that a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary, a realized loss equal to the decline in value would be reflected as an adjustment to net income. In determining when a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary, we consider these same factors listed above. Estimates for fair value and judgments of impairments as temporary versus other-than-temporary could materially adversely affect our operating results.

Executive Overview

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and these forward-looking statements are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

The Company is a global supplier of integrated "IP-based" platforms and solutions for advanced communications networks and innovative computer system architectures. The Company's products are primarily marketed through a direct worldwide sales force under a variety of brand names including Advanced Managed Platforms™, NexusWare® and SEGway™. These products are based on open standards and are sold as end solutions, application ready platforms, or as individual blade components for the communications marketplace. A key differentiation of the Company's products from competing products is the high level of internally developed software available with each product. When purchasing our Advanced Managed Platforms, customers can quickly incorporate their value-add technologies into the platform while realizing distinct cost advantages, increased overall system reliability and performance, and improved time-to-market. Our SEGway product family provides our customers with unique, flexible and highly scalable signaling solutions for establishing or expanding cost-effective telecommunication network architectures.

- 15 - index

The Company's business addresses one industry segment - Communications - and it targets three vertical markets for its products: telecommunications, aerospace and defense, and commercial. Of the three vertical markets served, telecommunications is the largest and represents approximately 75% of the Company's business. The OEM telecommunications equipment market served by the Company depends upon carrier spending to upgrade network infrastructure to next-generation equipment. This market continues to be very challenging with limited broad-based next-generation infrastructure investments being made by carriers and service providers.

For the aerospace and defense market, the Company is working with numerous prime contractors including Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and General Dynamics to incorporate the Company's Advanced Managed Platforms into new government network architectures. Second quarter 2008 shipments to aerospace and defense customers grew substantially over first quarter shipments and we are now seeing aerospace and defense opportunities in Europe.

Our SEGway product suite includes STPs, IP-STPs, IP-Edge, SS7 over IP transport solutions, and signaling gateways. These products enable traditional and Tier 2 and Tier 3 telecommunications carriers to lower operating costs through the utilization of IP networks and more flexible signaling network architectures, thereby creating competitive advantages in existing and emerging markets. Demand for our signaling systems products continues to rise as carriers and service providers respond to the worldwide increase in text messaging and the cost saving benefits of migrating to IP-based networks. In the second quarter, Signaling revenue equaled our signaling shipments for the entire first half of 2007. Our SEGway signaling products generally realize gross margins in the 65% to 70% range and typically have a sales cycle of three to six months. Throughout the remainder of 2008, the Company expects to make significant additional investments in its signaling sales, marketing and engineering organization. Management believes these investments, which may negatively impact near-term profitability, are strategic from a long-term business perspective and are necessary in order to potentially achieve greater market penetration for our signaling products.

Currently, gross margins are higher and the sales cycles are shorter for both aerospace and defense and signaling product areas, compared to the traditional OEM telecommunications market we serve. Management continues to expect 2008 shipments to its aerospace and defense customers and signaling deployments to grow more rapidly than expected revenue declines of OEM telecommunications products.

The commercial market is seeing some sluggishness due to current turmoil in applications such as those for the financial markets.

Strategy

The Company's product strategy is to deliver innovative solutions to the communications marketplace. Today, the Company's line of Advanced Managed Platforms specifically addresses equipment manufacturers' requirements for an increased level of system integration and services from suppliers, thus allowing them to focus on their value-added stages of product development, which in most cases is application software. This strategy provides a viable alternative to proprietary or legacy platforms and offers a contemporary platform replacement product of equal or greater functionality. In addition, our SEGway Signaling products, which are built on our Advanced Managed Platforms, enable carriers and service providers to lower operating costs through the utilization of IP networks, thereby creating competitive advantages in existing and emerging markets.

Management is focused on three key initiatives for 2008 which we believe are important for the Company to pursue to further strengthen its foundation for longer-term growth. These initiatives are: market diversification for our embedded systems products, investment in our signaling products and organization, and an emphasis on gross margin.

- 16 - index

There are identifiable risks associated with the Company's strategy particularly in light of the current economic climate. While aerospace and defense and signaling are growing markets, the OEM telecommunications market is not experiencing growth. In order to improve profitability in this environment, the Company's sales and product development efforts will have to be more innovative and aggressive than those of our competitors. Management believes that based on its analysis of the marketplace and the strength of the Company's product and technology portfolio, the identified risks are manageable. If successful, management believes its initiatives may negatively impact near-term profitability but are strategic from a business perspective and are necessary in order to potentially achieve improved long-term profitability.

Financial Overview

Revenue:

The lack of customer visibility often results in a substantial portion of the Company's revenue being derived from orders placed within a quarter and shipped in the final month of the same quarter. Revenue in the second quarter 2008 was $11.2 million, compared to $9.6 million in the second quarter 2007. This increase in revenue was primarily the result of an increase in shipments to the Company's largest customer in 2008, Data Connection Ltd., increased shipments to aerospace and defense and signaling customers, offset partially by decreases in shipments to Alcatel-Lucent and Motorola.

Shipments to customers outside of the United States represented 58% and 54% of sales in the second quarter of 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 56% and 48% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 amounted to $22.2 million, compared to $19.0 million during the corresponding period in 2007. This increase in revenue resulted from an increase in shipments to Data Connection, Ltd., increases in shipments to aerospace and defense and signaling customers, offset by decreases in shipments to Alcatel-Lucent.

Earnings:

Net income for the second quarter 2008 amounted to $.6 million, or $.05 per diluted share, including stock-based compensation expense of $.2 million, or $.01 per share, based on 11.7 million shares outstanding. Net (loss) in the second quarter 2007 amounted to ($0.4) million, or ($.03) per basic share, including stock-based compensation expense of $.2 million, or $.01 per share; write-off of software development costs amounting to $.5 million, or $.04 per share; restructuring charges of $.2 million, or $.02 per share; a recovery on a note receivable of $.5 million, or $.02 per share; and discrete income tax charges totaling $.3 million, or $.03 per share, based on 12.9 million shares outstanding.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 amounted to $1.2 million, or $.10 per diluted share, including stock-based compensation expense of $.3 million, or $.02 per share, based on 11.7 million shares outstanding. Net (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2007 amounted to ($1.0) million, or ($.08) per basic share, including stock-based compensation expense of $.3 million, or $.02 per share; a write-off of software development costs amounting to $.5 million, or $.04 per share; restructuring charges of $.2 million, or $.02 per share; a recovery on a note receivable of $.5 million, or $.02 per share; and discrete income tax charges totaling $.3 million, or $.03 per share, based on 13.0 million shares outstanding.

Liquidity:

Cash, cash equivalents and long-term investments amounted to $34.0 million and $32.2 million at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The Company had no long-term debt at either date.

- 17 - index

Cash generated from operating activities amounted to $3.9 million and $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The period-over-period decrease in cash generated from operating activities amounted to $.4 million and is primarily attributable to significant declines in accounts receivable and inventory in 2007 (which did not recur in 2008), partially offset by net income in 2008 (compared to a loss in 2007) and significant tax refunds received in 2008.

Key Performance Indicator:

The Company believes that a key indicator for its business is the trend for the volume of orders received from customers. During weak economic periods, customers' ability to forecast their requirements deteriorates causing delays in the placement of orders. Forward-looking visibility on customer orders continues to be very limited. Most of our embedded systems customers are placing orders for product only when they have orders in hand from their customers. Shipments to customers amounted to $11.2 million in the second quarter 2008, compared to $9.6 million in the second quarter 2007. Shipments during 2008 have been positively impacted by increased demand from the Company's largest customer, Data Connection Ltd. and increased shipments to our signaling customers.

More in-depth discussions of the Company's strategy can be found in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
