NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Liquidity and Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements of General DataComm Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended June ~~March 31~~30, 2010 have been prepared by the Company on a going concern basis, in accordance with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, such financial statements have not been reviewed by an independent public accounting firm due to the Company’s inability to pay for such review. In addition, the financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 have not been audited by an independent accounting firm.

In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results which may be achieved for the entire fiscal year ending September 30, 2010. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

On November 2, 2001, General DataComm Industries, Inc. and its domestic subsidiaries filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The Company continued in possession of its properties and the management of its business as debtors in possession. The Company emerged from Chapter 11 effective on September 15, 2003 pursuant to a court-approved plan of reorganization. Under this plan, the Company was to pay all creditors 100% of their allowed claims based upon a five year business plan. Debentures were issued to unsecured creditors as part of the plan of reorganization. However, the Company has not met its business plan objectives since emerging from Chapter 11 and, therefore, there can be no assurance that any such outstanding claims will be paid.

The Company incurred a net loss and used a significant amount of cash in its operating activities for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 and in recent ~~years~~ years preceding such date. The Company has no current ability to ~~borrow~~ borrow additional funds except as may be provided pursuant to a receivable sales agreement with a related party. It must, therefore, fund operations from cash balances, cash generated from operating activities including the sale of its accounts receivable and any cash that may be generated from the sale of non-core assets such as real estate and other assets. In addition, at ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $4243.1 0 million, and a working capital deficit of approximately $4041.2 million, including debentures in the principal amount of $19.4 million, together with accrued interest thereon ($1213.72 million), which matured on October 1, 2008. While a subordinated security agreement signed by the indenture trustee on behalf of the debenture holders provides that no payments may be made to debenture holders, and that no event of default may be declared under the indenture, while senior secured debt is outstanding, in the absence of such restrictions the Company does not have the ability to repay the debentures. As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2010, senior secured debt consists of notes payable to related parties and a real estate mortgage. A failure to pay the debentures when they become due and payable as described above, could result in an event of default being declared under the indenture governing the debentures.

The conditions described above raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. To continue operations, management has responded by entering into a receivable sales agreement with a related party to provide liquidity and by implementing operational changes, including closing its foreign offices, reducing certain salaries, restructuring the sales force, increasing factory and office shutdown time, constraining expenses and reducing the employee workforce. The Company also continues to pursue the sale or lease of its headquarters’ land and building in Naugatuck, CT.

While the Company is aggressively pursuing opportunities and corrective actions, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to generate sufficient cash from operations or asset sales, obtain additional funding sources or resolve the repayment of the debentures. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods might be based upon amounts that differ from those estimates.

The following represent what the Company believes are among the critical accounting policies most affected by significant management estimates and judgments. See Note 2 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes a sale when the product is shipped or thereafter, and the following four criteria are met upon shipment: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) title and risk of loss transfers to the customer; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. A reserve for future product returns is established at the time of the sale based on historical return rates and return policies including stock rotation for sales to distributors that stock the Company’s products. Service revenue is recognized either when the service is performed or, in the case of maintenance contracts, on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.

Warranty Reserves. The Company offers warranties of various lengths to its customers depending on the specific product and the terms of its customer purchase agreements. Standard warranties require the Company to repair or replace defective product returned during the warranty period at no cost to the customer. An estimate for warranty related costs is recorded based on actual historical return rates and repair costs at the time of sale. On an on-going basis, management reviews these estimates against actual expenses and makes adjustments when necessary. While warranty costs have historically been within expectations of the provision established, there is no guarantee that the Company will continue to experience the same warranty return rates or repair costs as in the past. A significant increase in product return rates or the costs to repair our products would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operating results.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company estimates losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make payments for amounts billed. The collectability of outstanding invoices is continually assessed. Assumptions are made regarding the customers ability and intent to pay, and are based on historical trends, general economic conditions and current customer data. Should our actual experience with respect to collections differ from these assessments, there could be adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventories. The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed using standard cost, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Agreements with certain customers provide for return rights. The Company is able to reasonably estimate these returns and they are accrued for at the time of shipment. Inventory quantities on hand are reviewed on a quarterly basis and a provision for excess and obsolete inventory is recorded based primarily on product demand for the preceding twelve months. Historical product demand may prove to be an inaccurate indicator of future demand in which case the Company may increase or decrease the provision required for excess and obsolete inventory in future periods. Furthermore, if the Company is able to sell inventory in the future that has been previously written down or off, such sales will result in higher than normal gross margin.

Deferred Tax Assets. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance related to its deferred tax assets. In the future, if sufficient evidence of the Company’s ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions becomes apparent, the Company will be required to reduce its valuation allowances, resulting in income tax benefits in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Management evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets and assesses the need for the valuation allowance each period.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company's long-lived assets consist of real estate, equipment and other personal property. At ~~March~~June 3130, 2010, real estate represented the most significant long-lived asset that has not been fully depreciated or written down for impairment.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Since the filing of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued 2326 accounting standards updates. Management has evaluated these updates and does not believe the adoption of any of these updates has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.

3. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by allocating net income available to common stockholders and to Class B shareholders based on their contractual participation rights to share in such net income as if all the income for the year had been distributed. Such allocation reflects that common stock is entitled to cash dividends, if and when paid, 11.11% higher per share than Class B stock. However, a net loss is allocated evenly to all shares. The income (loss) allocated to each security is divided by the respective weighted average number of common and Class B shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share assumes the conversion of Class B stock into common stock. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. In computing diluted earnings per share, which only applies in the event there is net income, the average price of the Company’s common stock for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from exercise of stock options and warrants. Dividends applicable to preferred stock represent accumulating dividends that are not declared or accrued. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) applicable to common and Class B stock for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31~~June 30, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands, except shares and per share data):

Long-term debt totaling $ 22,123,000 has matured as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2010, of which $19,367,000 in debentures matured October 1, 2008 but are restricted from being paid until senior debt is paid (see discussion below). The real estate mortgage in the amount of $4,500,000 is due July 31, 2011, pursuant to an amendment dated December 31, 2009.

The Company believes that the values of the note payable to unrelated party and real estate mortgage approximate their respective fair values. Also, notes payable to related parties are considered to approximate fair value when considering their senior secured interest in the Company’s assets. However, the estimated fair value of debentures, with a face value totaling $19,367,000 is considered to be substantially lower than carrying value due to the debentures being subordinated to both the real estate and related party debt. However, due to the extremely limited market (if any) for the debentures, the Company is unable to determine the current fair value.

Notes Payable to Related Parties and Warrants

On December 9, 2005, Mr. Howard S. Modlin, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. John Segall, a Director, restructured existing loans and entered into new senior secured loans with the Company in the principal amounts of $1,198,418 and $632,527, respectively. Interest accrues at the rate of 10% per annum. In connection with the transactions, Mr. Modlin and Mr. Segall each received seven year warrants expiring December 8, 2012 to purchase common stock at $0.575 per share covering 2,084,204 shares and 1,100,047 shares, respectively.

On February 17, 2006, the Company borrowed $250,000 from Mr. Modlin in the form of a demand note which bore interest at the rate of 10% per annum. On April 20, 2006, the Corporation entered into an amendment of its loan arrangement with Mr. Modlin whereby the $250,000 demand loan made by Mr. Modlin on February 17, 2006 was amended and restated into a term note, 50% of which was payable February 17, 2007 and 50% of which was payable February 17, 2008 (such payments were deferred until July 30, 2010 in agreement with Mr. Modlin). Mr. Modlin received a seven year warrant expiring April 19, 2013 to purchase 909,090 shares of common stock at $0.275 per share.

In the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2007, Mr. Modlin made demand loans to the Company totaling $270,000 and $125,000, respectively, and which bore interest at the annual rate of 10%. Such loans were paid off in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. On April 30, May 13, July 9, September 18 and October 1, 2008, Mr. Modlin made demand loans to the Company bearing interest at the annual rate of 10% in the amounts of $175,000, $75,000, $110,000, $175,000 and $250,000, respectively. The loan made on July 9, 2008 was repaid on July 17, 2008.

Accrued interest on all such loans amounted to $~~524~~593,~~880~~590 and $374,926 at ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively. All loans made by Mr. Modlin and Mr. Segall are collateralized by all the assets of the Company and are presently due and payable. No demand for payment of such loans has been made by either Mr. Modlin or Mr. Segall and, if made, the Company presently would be unable to make such payments. All warrants have exercise prices that are above the current market price of common stock.

Debentures

Debentures together with accrued interest matured on October 1, 2008. The debentures have a subordinated security interest in all the assets of the Company. The debentures were issued to unsecured creditors in 2003 as part of the Company’s plan of reorganization. No principal or interest is payable on the debentures until the senior lenders’ claims are paid in full and no principal or interest has been paid as of ~~May~~August 1716, 2010. Interest accrues at the annual rate of 10% and totaled $1213,~~689~~171,000 at ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 (see Note 1 “Liquidity and Going Concern”).

Debentures were issued to the following related parties: $125,000 to William G. Henry, Vice President, Finance and Administration; $50,000 to George M. Gray, Vice President, Operations and Engineering, $16,400 to Howard S. Modlin, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer and $19,900 to John L. Segall, Director. In addition, a debenture in the amount of $2,179,000 was issued to the law firm of Weisman Celler Spett & Modlin, P.C., of which Mr. Modlin is President.

Real Estate Mortgage

The real estate mortgage entered into July 30, 2007 in the amount of $4,500,000 is secured by the Company’s premises in Naugatuck, CT. ~~The~~Through ~~mortgage~~July 31, ~~currently~~2010, ~~requires~~the mortgage required monthly payments of interest at the rate of 30-day LIBOR plus 8% with a minimum interest rate of 12% (such interest rate was 12% at June ~~March 31~~30, 2010). No principal payments are required until the full amount of the mortgage matures. Effective December 31, 2009, the Company amended the mortgage to extend the maturity date from July 31, 2010 to July 31, 2011, to increase the interest rate effective August 1, 2010 to LIBOR plus 9% with a minimum interest of 13% and to charge a fee in the amount of $45,000, ~~that is~~which ~~payable~~was nopaid ~~later~~on ~~than~~ August 1, 2010. The mortgage contains no no financial performance covenants.

6. Employee Incentive Plans

Stock Awards, Grants and Options

The Company has adopted a 2003 Stock and Bonus Plan (“2003 Plan”) reserving 459,268 shares of Class B stock and 459,268 shares of common stock and a 2005 Stock and Bonus Plan (“2005 Plan”) reserving 2,400,000 shares of common stock.

Officers and key employees may be granted non-incentive stock options at an exercise price equal to, greater than or less than the market price on the date of grant. While individual options can be issued under various provisions, most options, once granted, generally vest in increments of 20% per year over a five-year period and expire within ten years.

Employee Retirement Savings and Deferred Profit Sharing Plan

Under the retirement savings provisions of the Company’s retirement plan established under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, employees are generally eligible to contribute to the plan after three months of continuous service in amounts determined by the plan. The Company does not make matching contributions and, therefore, no amounts have been charged to expense.

The deferred profit sharing portion of the plan provides that the Company may make contributions to the plan out of profits at the discretion of the Company. There were no such contributions in the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~December~~June 3130, ~~2009~~2010 and ~~2008~~2009.

7. Receivable Sales Agreement with Related Party and Subsequent Event

On October 24, 2008, the Company’s subsidiary, General DataComm, Inc., entered into a Receivable Sales Agreement with Howard S. Modlin, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which Mr. Modlin purchased receivables at a 2.5% discount. In the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010, Mr. Modlin made purchases with a face value of $46,~~642~~586,~~051~~154 for an aggregate purchase price of $46,~~526~~421,~~000~~500 under this agreement. In the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2009, Mr. Modlin purchased $35,~~061~~141,~~543~~268 of receivables for a price of $25,~~987~~016,000.

Revenues for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 decreased $~~520~~475,000, or 2521.35%, to $1,~~538~~731,000 from $2,~~058~~206,000 reported for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2009. Product revenues decreased $ ~~354~~511,000, or 2226.97%, while service ~~revenues~~revenue ~~decreased~~increased $ ~~166~~36,000, or 3212.53%.

The product sales decrease in the quarter-to-quarter comparison was primarily due to a 4664% decrease in shipments of multi-service switches. The 2009 quarter included shipments under a contract with a large telecommunications company that did not repeat at the same level in the 2010 quarter. Partially offsetting this decline was a 3957% increase in shipments of network access products to, ~~accommodate~~primarily ~~demand~~due ~~for~~to ~~services~~shipments ~~being~~to ~~rolled~~a ~~out~~new bycustomer ~~large~~in ~~telephone~~the transportation ~~companies~~industry. Sales of the multi-service switch product line constituted approximately 5234% of product revenue in the 2010 quarter while the network access product line constituted approximately 4866% of product revenue, compared to approximately 7369% multi-service switches and 2731% access products in the 2009 quarter.

The ~~decrease~~increase in service revenue in the quarter was primarily due to ~~the expiration~~expanded ofmaintenance acontracts for multi-service ~~contract in Europe where the customer transitioned the equipment~~switches.

Revenues for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 decreased $~~299~~774,000, or 611.87%, to $45,~~103~~834,000 from $46,~~402~~608,000 reported for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2009. Product revenues ~~increased~~decreased $~~141~~370,000, or 47.31%, while service revenues decreased $~~440~~404,000, or 3928.78%.

The product sales ~~increase~~decrease in the ~~six~~nine month comparison ~~was~~resulted ~~due~~from tothe aitems described ~~slight~~in ~~change~~the quarter comparison above, offset in ~~product~~ ~~mix~~part ~~where~~by a ~~modest~~$141,000 ~~decline~~product sales increase in ~~multi-service~~the ~~switch~~first ~~revenue~~half of ~~$113,000 was~~the ~~more~~fiscal ~~than~~year ~~offset~~due byto an increase ~~of $254,000~~ in network access products sold to telephone companies.

The decrease in service revenue in the ~~six~~nine month comparison was primarily due to ~~the~~ the expiration of a service contract in Europe ~~mentioned~~where ~~above~~the customer transitioned the equipment, and to project work performed for a large telephone company in the prior year that did not repeat at the same level in the current year, offset by a modest increase in the quarter comparison as described above.

Foreign sales accounted for approximately 3531% and 4142% of revenue in the ~~six~~nine months ~~ended~~ ~~March~~ended 31June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company anticipates that demand for its legacy network access products will decline and due to the “Risk Factors” mentioned below, there can be no assurance that orders for new products and products with enhanced features will increase to offset this decline. Accordingly, the ability to forecast future revenue trends in the current environment is difficult.

Product gross margin, as a percentage of product revenue, increased 7.8% to 37.2% from 1429.54% in the prior year’s nine month period.

Service gross margin, as a percentage of service revenue, increased 10.0% to 67.8% from 957.68% in the prior year’s nine month period. This improvement was due to operating cost reductions partially offset by the impact of reduced revenue levels.

In future periods, the Company’s gross margin will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the mix of products sold, the cost of products manufactured at subcontract facilities, the channels of distribution, the price of products sold, discounting practices, price competition, increases in material costs, the costs of the service organization and changes in other components of cost of sales. As and to the extent the Company introduces new products and services, it is possible that such products and services may have lower gross profit margins than other established products in higher volume production and traditional service offerings. Accordingly, gross margin as a percentage of revenues is expected to vary.

The decrease in spending in the quarter of $~~299~~486,000, or 2744.40%, was primarily a result of reorganizing the Company’s European operations which resulted in the closing of a sales office in France and which reduced expenses by $~~222~~228,000, and lower compensation costs of $~~113~~67,000 due to salary and benefit reductions, including certain job ~~eliminations~~ eliminations for domestic sales and administrative staff. Other ~~items~~ reductions were due ato ~~net~~lower ~~increase~~professional fees of $3673,000, and to reduced marketing costs for travel and product demonstrations and other items totaling $118,000.

The decrease in spending of $~~652~~1,138,000, or 3034.07%, was primarily due to the reorganization of the Company’s European operations which reduced expenses by $~~339~~474,000, and lower compensation costs of $~~272~~441,000. In addition, professional fees were lower by $99172,000 due to lower legal and anticipated audit fees. Other items were a net ~~increase~~decrease of $5851,000.

Cash Flows

Net cash used by operating activities totaled $147,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2010. The net loss in the period was $ 2,246,000. Included in this net loss were non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization of $157,000 and stock compensation expense of $26,000. A decrease in accounts receivable due to levels of customer collections and sales of accounts receivable (to a related party) being higher than new sales levels resulted in a source of cash of $237,000. An increased level of sales of accounts receivables to be invoiced (to a related party) resulted in a source of cash of $369,000. Inventories were lower by $352,000 as the Company was able to achieve shipments of on-hand inventories to satisfy new customer orders and generate a source of cash through reduced purchasing. Unpaid interest which accrued on the Company’s debt increased $1,123,000 as a source of cash. Deferred revenue, primarily on product shipments awaiting customer acceptance, added $154,000 as a source of cash. A decrease in accrued payroll expenses due primarily to the timing of payrolls resulted in a use of cash of $288,000. Other net uses of cash totaled $ 31,000.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The Company incurred a net loss and used a significant amount of cash in its operating activities for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 and in recent years preceding such date. ~~The~~Currently the Company has nonot ~~current~~been ~~ability~~able to ~~borrow~~ borrow additional funds except as may be provided pursuant to a receivable sales agreement with a related party. However, it is attempting to borrow funds but to date has been unsuccessful and has no assurance of success in the future. It must, therefore, fund operations from cash balances, cash generated from operating activities and any cash that may be generated from the sale of non-core assets such as real estate and other assets. In addition, at June ~~March 31~~30, 2010 the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $4243.1 0 million, and a working capital deficit of approximately $ 4041.32 million, including debentures in the principal amount of $19.4 million, together with accrued interest thereon ($1213.72 million at ~~March~~June 3130, 2010), which matured on October 1, 2008. While a subordinated security agreement signed by the indenture trustee on behalf of the debenture holders provides that no payments may be made to debenture holders, and that no event of default may be declared under the indenture, while senior secured debt is outstanding, in the absence of such restrictions the Company does not have the ability to repay the debentures. As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2010, senior secured debt consists of notes payable to related parties and a real estate mortgage. A failure to pay the debentures when they become due and payable as described above could result in an event of default being declared under the indenture governing the debentures.

Critical Accounting Policies

A detailed description of the Company’s significant accounting policies can be found in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Since the filing of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued 2326 accounting standards updates. Management has evaluated these updates and does not believe the adoption of any of these updates has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.

RISK FACTORS

The Financial Statements are Unaudited and the Quarterly Financial Statements Have Not Been Reviewed. The financial statements in Form 10-K for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission have not been audited by an independent accounting firm. The financial statements in Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended December 31, 2008, March 31, 2009, June 30, 2009, December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission have not been reviewed by an independent accounting firm. While the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the fair presentation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, because of its inherent limitations such internal control may not prevent or detect misstatements that may arise in an audit or review by an independent accounting firm.

~~GDC’s Negative~~RISK Operating History Since Emerging from Bankruptcy. The Company emerged from Bankruptcy on September 15, 2003. Accordingly, an investor in the Company’s common stock must evaluate the risks, uncertainties, and difficulties frequently encountered by a company emerging from Chapter 11 and that operates in rapidly evolving markets such as the telecommunications equipment industry.

GDC’s Negative Operating History Since Emerging from Bankruptcy. The Company emerged from bankruptcy on September 15, 2003. Accordingly, an investor in the Company’s common stock must evaluate the risks, uncertainties, and difficulties frequently encountered by a company emerging from Chapter 11 and that operates in rapidly evolving markets such as the telecommunications equipment industry.

Due to the Company’s limited and negative operating history, and poor performance since emergence, the Company may not successfully implement any of its strategies or successfully address these risks and uncertainties. As described by the following factors, past financial performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

Non-payment of Debentures and Certain Senior Debt, and Going Concern. The Company has outstanding debentures in the principal amount of approximately $19.4 million which, together with accrued interest thereon matured on October 1, 2008. A subordinated security agreement signed by the indenture trustee on behalf of the debenture holders provides that no payments may be made to debenture holders, and that no event of default may be declared under the indenture, while the senior secured debt, including debt owed to Mr. Modlin and Mr. Segall (Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Director, respectively) and a real estate mortgage, is outstanding. In the absence of such restrictions the Company does not presently have the ability to repay the debentures. A failure to pay the debentures when they become due and payable as described above, could result in an event of default being declared under the indenture governing the debentures. The senior debt owed to Messrs. Modlin and Segall is due and payable but payment has not been demanded by either of them. Together with the other conditions described in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section above and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, such condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Dependence on Legacy and Recently Introduced Products and New Product Development. The Company’s future results of operations are dependent on market acceptance of existing and future applications for the Company’s current products and new products in development. Sales of the Company’s legacy products, primarily digital service unit and V.34 product lines, declined to approximately 22% of product sales in fiscal 2009 from 26% in fiscal 2008 year-to-date ~~and~~sales ~~have~~levels ~~been~~in ~~flat~~fiscal ~~year~~2010 toare ~~date~~about ~~with~~at ~~fiscal~~the ~~year~~same level as in fiscal 2009. The Company anticipates that net sales from legacy products will continue to decline over the next several years and net sales of new products will increase at the same time, with significant quarterly fluctuations possible, and without assurance that sales of new products will increase at the same time.

Market acceptance of the Company’s recently introduced and future product lines is dependent on a number of factors, not all of which are in the Company’s control, including the continued growth in the use of bandwidth intensive applications, continued deployment of new telecommunication services, market acceptance of multiservice access devices, the availability and price of competing products and technologies, and the success of the Company’s sales and marketing efforts. Failure of the Company’s products to achieve market acceptance would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Failure to introduce new products in a timely manner in order to replace sales of legacy products could result in customers purchasing products from competitors and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

New products under development may require additional development work, enhancement and testing or further refinement before the Company can make them commercially available. The Company has in the past experienced delays in the introduction of new products, product applications and enhancements due to a variety of internal factors, such as reallocation of priorities, financial constraints, difficulty in hiring sufficient qualified personnel, and unforeseen technical obstacles, as well as changes in customer requirements. Such delays have deferred the receipt of revenue from the products involved. If the Company’s products have performance, reliability or quality shortcomings, then the Company may experience reduced orders, higher manufacturing costs, delays in collecting accounts receivable, and additional warranty and service expenses.

Customer Concentration and Economic Conditions. The Company’s customers include local exchange carriers, inter-exchange carriers, wireless service providers, and resellers who sell to these customers. Such service providers require substantial capital for the development, construction, and expansion of their networks and the introduction of their services. The ability of service providers to fund such expenditures often depends on their ability to budget or obtain sufficient capital resources. In the past, resources made available for such capital acquisitions have varied along with market conditions in the United States. If the Company’s current or potential service provider customers cannot successfully raise the necessary funds, or if they experience any other adverse effects with respect to their operating results or profitability, their capital spending programs may be adversely impacted which could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

A small number of customers have historically accounted for a majority of the Company’s sales. Sales to the Company’s top five customers accounted for 57% and 54% of revenues in fiscal 2009 and 2008. There can be no assurance that the Company’s current customers will continue to place orders with the Company, that orders by existing customers will continue at the levels of previous periods, or that the Company will be able to obtain orders from new customers. The Company expects the economic climate and conditions in the telecommunication equipment industry to remain unpredictable in fiscal 2010 and beyond. Additionally, world economic conditions could have a material adverse affect on the Company’s operations. The loss of one or more of our service provider customers, such as occurred in the past through industry consolidation or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our sales and operating results. A bankruptcy filing by one or more of the Company’s major customers could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Dependence on Key Personnel. The Company’s future success will depend to a large extent on the continued contributions of its executive officers and key management, sales, and technical personnel. Each of the Company’s executive officers, and key management, sales and technical personnel would be difficult to replace. The Company does not have employment contracts with its key employees. The Company implemented significant cost and staff reductions in recent years, which may make it more difficult to attract and retain key personnel. The loss of the services of one or more of the Company’s executive officers or key personnel, or the inability to attract qualified personnel, could delay product development cycles or otherwise could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Dependence on Key Suppliers and Component Availability. The Company generally relies upon several contract manufacturers to assemble finished and semi-finished goods. The Company’s products use certain components, such as microprocessors, memory chips and pre-formed enclosures that are acquired or available from one or a limited number of sources. Component parts that are incorporated into board assemblies are sourced directly by the Company from suppliers. The Company has generally been able to procure adequate supplies of these components in a timely manner from existing sources.

While most components are standard items, certain application-specific integrated circuit chips used in many of the Company’s products are customized to the Company’s specifications. None of the suppliers of components operate under contract. Additionally, availability of some standard components may be affected by market shortages and allocations. The Company’s inability to obtain a sufficient quantity of components when required, or to develop alternative sources due to lack of availability or degradation of quality, at acceptable prices and within a reasonable time, could result in delays or reductions in product shipments which could materially affect the Company’s operating results in any given period. In addition, as referenced above the Company relies heavily on outsourcing subcontractors for production. The inability of such subcontractors to deliver products in a timely fashion or in accordance with the Company’s quality standards could materially adversely affect the Company’s operating results and business.

The Company uses internal forecasts to manage its general finished goods and components requirements. Lead times for materials and components may vary significantly, and depend on factors such as specific supplier performance, contract terms, and general market demand for components. If orders vary from forecasts, the Company may experience excess or inadequate inventory of certain materials and components, and suppliers may demand longer lead times and higher prices. From time to time, the Company has experienced shortages and allocations of certain components, resulting in delays in fulfillment of customer orders. Such shortages and allocations may occur in the future, and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Fluctuations in Quarterly and Annual Operating Results. The Company’s sales are subject to quarterly and annual fluctuations due to a number of factors resulting in more variability and less predictability in the Company’s quarter-to-quarter sales and operating results. As a small number of customers have historically accounted for a majority of the Company’s sales, order volatility by any of these major customers has had and may have an impact on the Company in the prior, current and future fiscal years.

Most of the Company’s sales require short delivery times. The Company’s ability to affect and judge the timing of individual customer orders is limited. Large fluctuations in sales from quarter-to-quarter could be due to a wide variety of factors, such as delay, cancellation or acceleration of customer projects, and other factors discussed below. The Company’s sales for a given quarter may depend to a significant degree upon planned product shipments to a single customer, often related to specific equipment or service deployment projects. The Company has experienced both acceleration and slowdown in orders related to such projects, causing changes in the sales level of a given quarter relative to both the preceding and subsequent quarters.

Delays or lost sales can be caused by other factors beyond the Company’s control, including late deliveries by the third party subcontractors the Company is using to outsource its manufacturing operations and by vendors of components used in a customer’s products, slower than anticipated growth in demand for the Company’s products for specific projects or delays in implementation of projects by customers and delays in obtaining regulatory approvals for new services and products. Delays and lost sales have occurred in the past and may occur in the future. The Company believes that sales in the past have been adversely impacted by merger and restructuring activities by some of its top customers. These and similar delays or lost sales could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. See “Customer Concentration and Economic Condition” and “Dependence on Key Suppliers and Component Availability”.

The Company’s backlog at the beginning of each quarter typically is not sufficient to achieve expected sales for that quarter. To achieve its sales objectives, the Company is dependent upon obtaining orders in a quarter for shipment in that quarter. Furthermore, the Company’s agreements with certain of its customers typically provide that they may change delivery schedules and cancel orders within specified timeframes, typically up to 30 days prior to the scheduled shipment date, without significant penalty. Some of the Company’s customers have in the past built, and may in the future build, significant inventory in order to facilitate more rapid deployment of anticipated major projects or for other reasons. Decisions by such customers to reduce their inventory levels could lead to reductions in purchases from the Company in certain periods. These reductions, in turn, could cause fluctuations in the Company’s operating results and could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations in the periods in which the inventory is reduced.

Operating results may also fluctuate due to a variety of factors, including market acceptance of the Company’s new lines of products, delays in new product introductions by the Company, market acceptance of new products and feature enhancements introduced by the Company, changes in the mix of products and or customers, the gain or loss of a significant customer, competitive price pressures, changes in expenses related to operations, research and development and marketing associated with existing and new products, and the general condition of the economy.

All of the above factors are difficult for the Company to forecast, and these or other factors can materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations for one quarter or a series of quarters. The Company’s expense levels are based in part on its expectations regarding future sales and are fixed in the short term to a certain extent. Therefore, the Company may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected shortfall in sales. Any significant decline in demand relative to the Company’s expectations or any material delay of customer orders could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve or sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. In addition, the Company has had, and in some future quarter may have operating results below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. In such event, the price of the Company’s Common Stock would likely be materially and adversely affected. See “Potential Volatility of Stock Price”.

Competition. The markets for telecommunications network access and multi-service equipment addressed by the Company’s products can be characterized as highly competitive, with intensive equipment price pressure. These markets are subject to rapid technological change, wide-ranging regulatory requirements, the entrance of low cost manufacturers and the presence of formidable competitors that have greater name recognition and financial resources. Certain technology such as the V.34 and digital service units portion of the SpectraComm line are not considered new and the market has experienced decline in recent years.

Industry consolidation could lead to competition with fewer, but stronger competitors. In addition, advanced termination products are emerging, which represent both new market opportunities, as well as a threat to the Company’s current products. Furthermore, basic line termination functions are increasingly being integrated by competitors, such as Cisco and Alcatel/Lucent, into other equipment such as routers and switches. To the extent that current or potential competitors can expand their current offerings to include products that have functionality similar to the Company’s products and planned products, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Many of the Company’s current and potential competitors have substantially greater technical, financial, manufacturing and marketing resources than the Company. In addition, many of the Company’s competitors have long-established relationships with network service providers. There can be no assurance that the Company will have the financial resources, technical expertise, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and support capabilities to compete successfully in the future.

Rapid Technological Change. The network access and telecommunications equipment markets are characterized by rapidly changing technologies and frequent new product introductions. The rapid development of new technologies increases the risk that current or new competitors could develop products that would reduce the competitiveness of the Company’s products. The Company’s success will depend to a substantial degree upon its ability to respond to changes in technology and customer requirements. This will require the timely selection, development and marketing of new products and enhancements on a cost-effective basis. The development of new, technologically advanced products is a complex and uncertain process, requiring high levels of innovation. The Company may need to supplement its internal expertise and resources with specialized expertise or intellectual property from third parties to develop new products.

Furthermore, the communications industry is characterized by the need to design products that meet industry standards for safety, emissions and network interconnection. With new and emerging technologies and service offerings from network service providers, such standards are often changing or unavailable. As a result, there is a potential for product development delays due to the need for compliance with new or modified standards. The introduction of new and enhanced products also requires that the Company manage transitions from older products in order to minimize disruptions in customer orders, avoid excess inventory of old products and ensure that adequate supplies of new products can be delivered to meet customer orders. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in developing, introducing or managing the transition to new or enhanced products, or that any such products will be responsive to technological changes or will gain market acceptance. The Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected if the Company were to be unsuccessful, or to incur significant delays in developing and introducing such new products or enhancements. See “Dependence on Legacy and Recently Introduced Products and New Product Development”.

Compliance with Regulations and Evolving Industry Standards. The market for the Company’s products is characterized by the need to meet a significant number of communications regulations and standards, some of which are evolving as new technologies are deployed. In the United States, the Company’s products must comply with various regulations defined by the Federal Communications Commission and standards established by Underwriters Laboratories and Telcordia Technologies, and new products introduced in the SpectraComm line and other products designed for telecommunications carrier networks will need to be NEBS Certified. As standards continue to evolve, the Company will be required to modify its products or develop and support new versions of its products. The failure of the Company’s products to comply, or delays in compliance, with the various existing and evolving industry standards, could delay introduction of the Company’s products, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

GDC Will Require Additional Funding to Sustain Operations. The Company emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy on September 15, 2003. Under the plan of reorganization, the Company was to pay all creditors 100% of their allowed claims based upon a five year business plan. However, the Company has not met its business plan objectives since emerging from Chapter 11. The ability to meet the objectives of this business plan was directly affected by the factors described in this “Risk Factors” section. The Company cannot assure investors that it will be able to obtain new customers or to generate the increased revenues required to meet its business plan objectives in the future. In addition, in order to execute the business plan, the Company may need to seek additional funding through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or commercial partners. The Company cannot assure investors that it will obtain funding on acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient revenues or access capital on acceptable terms, it may be required to (a) obtain funds on unfavorable terms that may require the Company to relinquish rights to certain of its technologies or that would significantly dilute its stockholders and/or (b) significantly scale back current operations. Either of these two possibilities would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Associated With Entry into International Markets. The Company has limited experience in international markets with the exception of a few direct customers and resellers/integrators and sales into Western Europe through its formerly active subsidiary in France, which was acquired by the Company in 2005 and de-activated in 2009. The Company intends to expand sales of its products outside of North America and to enter certain international markets, which will require significant management attention and financial resources. Conducting business outside of North America is subject to certain risks, including longer payment cycles, unexpected changes in regulatory requirements and tariffs, difficulties in supporting foreign customers, greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection and potentially adverse tax consequences. To the extent any Company sales are denominated in foreign currency, the Company’s sales and results of operations may also be directly affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. In order to sell its products internationally, the Company must meet standards established by telecommunications authorities in various countries. A delay in obtaining, or the failure to obtain, certification of its products in countries outside the United States could delay or preclude the Company’s marketing and sales efforts in such countries, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risk of Third Party Claims of Infringement. The network access and telecommunications equipment industries are characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and frequent litigation based on allegations of patent infringement. From time to time, third parties may assert exclusive patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights to technologies that are important to the Company. The Company has not conducted a formal patent search relating to the technology used in its products, due in part to the high cost and limited benefits of a formal search. In addition, since patent applications in the United States are not publicly disclosed until the related patent is issued and foreign patent applications generally are not publicly disclosed for at least a portion of the time that they are pending, applications may have been filed which, if issued as patents, could relate to the Company’s products. Software comprises a substantial portion of the technology in the Company’s products. The scope of protection accorded to patents covering software-related inventions is evolving and is subject to a degree of uncertainty which may increase the risk and cost to the Company if the Company discovers third party patents related to its software products or if such patents are asserted against the Company in the future.

The Company may receive communications from third parties asserting that the Company’s products infringe or may infringe the proprietary rights of third parties. In its distribution agreements, the Company typically agrees to indemnify its customers for any expenses or liabilities resulting from claimed infringements of patents, trademarks or copyrights of third parties. In the event of litigation to determine the validity of any third-party claims, such litigation, whether or not determined in favor of the Company, could result in significant expense to the Company and divert the efforts of the Company’s technical and management personnel from productive tasks. In the event of an adverse ruling in such litigation, the Company might be required to discontinue the use and sale of infringing products, expend significant resources to develop non-infringing technology or obtain licenses from third parties. There can be no assurance that licenses from third parties would be available on acceptable terms if at all. In the event of a successful claim against the Company and the failure of the Company to develop or license a substitute technology, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operation could be materially adversely affected.

Limited Protection of Intellectual Property. The Company relies upon a combination of patent, trade secret, copyright, and trademark laws and contractual restrictions to establish and protect proprietary rights in its products and technologies. The Company has been issued and has licensed certain U.S., Canadian and other foreign patents with respect to certain products, including licenses granted under patents sold in 2008. There can be no assurance that third parties have not or will not develop equivalent technologies or products without infringing the Company’s patents and/or patent licenses or that a court having jurisdiction over a dispute involving such patents would hold the Company’s patents and/or licenses valid, enforceable and infringed. The Company also typically enters into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with its employees and independent contractors, and non-disclosure agreements with its suppliers, distributors and appropriate customers so as to limit access to and disclosure of its proprietary information. There can be no assurance that these statutory and contractual arrangements will deter misappropriation of the Company’s technologies or discourage independent third-party development of similar technologies. In the event such arrangements are insufficient, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. The laws of certain foreign countries in which the Company’s products are or may be developed, manufactured or sold may not protect the Company’s products or intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States and thus, make the possibility of misappropriation of the Company’s technology and products more likely.

Potential Volatility of Stock Price. The trading price of the Company’s common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to quarter-to-quarter variations in operating results, announcements of technological innovations or new products by the Company or its competitors, developments with respect to patents or proprietary rights, general conditions in the telecommunication network access and equipment industries, changes in earnings estimates by analysts, or other events or factors. In addition, the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which have particularly affected the market prices of many technology companies and which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. Company-specific factors or broad market fluctuations may materially adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock. The Company has experienced significant fluctuations in its stock price and share trading volume in the past and may continue to do so.

The Company is Controlled by a Small Number of Stockholders and Certain Creditors. In particular, Mr. Modlin, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and President of Weisman Celler Spett & Modlin, P.C., legal counsel for the Company, owns approximately 73% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class B stock and has stock options and warrants that would upon exercise allow him to own approximately 58% of the Company’s common stock, although all such options and warrants have exercise prices which are substantially over the market price of the common stock on June 30, 2010. Furthermore, Mr. Modlin is also trustee for the benefit of the children of Mr. Charles P. Johnson, the former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and such trust holds approximately 1.2% of the outstanding shares of Class B stock. Class B stock under certain circumstances has 10 votes per share in the election of Directors. The Board of Directors is to consist of no less than three and no more than thirteen directors, one of which may be designated by the debenture trustee. The holders of the 9% Preferred Stock are presently entitled to designate two directors until all arrears on the dividends on such 9% Preferred Stock are paid in full. To date, the holders of the 9% Preferred Stock have not designated any directors. In the event of a payment default under the debentures which is not cured within 60 days after written notice, the debenture trustee shall be entitled to select a majority of the Board of Directors. Accordingly, in the absence of a payment default under the debentures, Mr. Modlin may be able to elect all members of the Board of Directors not designated by the holders of the 9% Preferred Stock and the debenture trustee and determine the outcome of certain corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, such as mergers and acquisitions of the Company. This level of ownership by such persons and entities could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, control of the Company. Such provisions could limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of the Company’s common stock, thereby making it less likely that a stockholder will receive a premium in any sale of shares.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk represents the risk of loss that impacts the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows due to adverse changes in financial and commodity market prices and interest rates.

Historically the Company has had little or no exposure to market risk in the area of changes in foreign currency except to the extent the Company invoices customers in foreign currencies and is, therefore, subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk on any individual invoice while it remains unpaid, a period that normally is less than 90 days. At ~~March~~June 3130, 2010 such accounts receivable were not significant. In addition, the Company has potential liabilities of approximately 350,000 Euros that are disputed, but if paid would be subject to foreign exchange risk.

The interest rate on the Company’s $4.5 million real estate mortgage fluctuates based upon the London Interbank Borrowing Rate to the extent such rate exceeds a base of 4%, which may result in a different rate of interest being charged than if such interest was based on the U.S. bank prime lending rate.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The registrant carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the registrant’s management, including the registrant’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
