    A. Basis of Presentation

       The financial information included herein, with the exception of the
       consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 1994, has not been audited.
       However, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments,
       consisting only of normal recurring accruals necessary for a fair
       presentation of the results for these periods, have been reflected.  The
       results for these periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
       for the full fiscal year.

       Certain amounts reported for the prior periods presented have been
       reclassified to be consistent with the current year's presentation.
       These reclassifications primarily relate to the formation in FY1995 of
       distinct commercial business units.

    B. BARRNET Acquisition

       On August 19, 1994, BBN Internet Services Corporation acquired, from
       Stanford University, the Bay Area Regional Research Network ("BARRNET"),
       a leading provider of Internet services in the San Francisco Bay Area,
       for approximately $6,500,000 consisting principally of $2,000,000 of
       cash, 270,270 shares of BBN's common stock and 200,000 shares of BBN
       Internet Services Corporation's common stock.  The common stocks issued
       were valued at their fair value which reflects a discount attributable
       to their restricted nature.  The transaction was accounted for using the
       purchase method of accounting.  Accordingly, the acquired assets and
       liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values on the date of
       the acquisition.  The aggregate cost in excess of net assets acquired of
       approximately $4,500,000 is being amortized over ten years.

    C. SURAnet Acquisition

       In December 1994, BBN Internet Services Corporation and the Southeastern
       Universities Research Association ("SURA") signed a non-binding letter
       of intent under which BBN Internet Services Corporation would acquire
       the SURAnet Internet service, a leading provider of Internet services in
       the Southeast.

    D. Sale of LightStream Corporation

       On December 8, 1994, Cisco Systems, Inc. ("Cisco") and LightStream
       Corporation, a majority-owned subsidiary of the company ("LightStream"),
       entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Asset Purchase
       Agreement") pursuant to which Cisco agreed to buy all or substantially
       all of the assets of LightStream, a corporation which develops and
       markets computer networking products based upon asynchronous transfer
       mode ("ATM") technology, for a cash consideration of $120,000,000.  The
       sale, which was completed on January 11, 1995, will be reflected in the
       company's third quarter results.  Under the terms of the sale, the
       company, which owns in excess of 80% of the equity interest in
       LightStream, will receive from LightStream approximately 83% of the net
       distribution of the proceeds of the transaction, and UB Networks, Inc.,
       which owns the minority interest in LightStream, will receive the
       remainder.  Of the cash consideration paid to LightStream, $12,000,000
       was placed in an escrow fund, and periodically declining portions of

                                     (continued)

    D. Sale of LightStream Corporation (continued)            

       such amount are to be maintained for up to two years following the
       closing of the transaction, subject to any claims under the Asset
       Purchase Agreement by Cisco.  As part of the sale, Cisco hired
       substantially all of the employees of LightStream, and will operate from
       the company's former facility in Billerica, Massachusetts.  The company
       anticipates it will record a gain from the sale, net of tax, of
       approximately $80,000,000 after considering the minority interest and
       estimated costs to be incurred in connection with the sale.  For the
       six months ended December 31, 1994, LightStream reported revenue of
       approximately $8,400,000 and an operating loss of approximately
       $3,700,000, and for the period from inception on October 16, 1993
       through December 31, 1993, LightStream reported revenue of approximately
       $500,000 and an operating loss of approximately $3,000,000.  In FY1994,
       prior to the formation of LightStream,  the company's ATM activities
       were conducted by its then Communications Division and resulted in an
       operating loss of approximately $3,600,000 for the first quarter ended
       September 30, 1993. These results are not included in the results of
       LightStream for the six months ended December 31, 1993.

    E. Other Income

       In December 1994, the company settled a claim with the U.S. government
       for approximately $700,000. This settlement resulted in an approximately
       $2,550,000 reduction in liabilities and is included in other income
       for the three and six months ended December 31, 1994.

       Other income for the three and six months ended December 31, 1994 and
       1993 also includes approximately $900,000 resulting from lower than
       expected costs associated with a previously divested contract.

    F. Commitments and Contingencies

       The company, like other companies doing business with the U.S.
       government, is subject to routine audit, and in certain circumstances to
       inquiry, review, or investigation, by U.S. government agencies, of its
       compliance with government procurement policies and practices.  In April
       1991, the company was informed that it was the subject of an
       investigation by U.S. government agencies of its compliance with certain
       government procurement policies and practices.  No allegations have been
       made by the government agencies.  Based upon government procurement
       regulations, under certain circumstances a contractor violating or not
       complying with procurement regulations can be subject to legal or
       administrative proceedings, including fines and penalties, as well as be
       suspended or debarred from contracting with the government.  The
       company's policy has been and continues to be to conduct its activities
       in compliance with all applicable rules and regulations.

       The company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims which arise
       in the ordinary course of its business.  In the opinion of management,
       the results of these other legal proceedings and claims will not have a
       material effect on the company's consolidated financial position and
       results of operations.

                       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Summary
     ---------
       For the three months ended December 31, 1994, the company reported a net
     loss of $1.9 million, or $.11 per share, on revenue of $51.2 million,
     compared to a net loss of $1.7 million, or $.10 per share, on revenue of
     $48.4 million for the same period a year ago.

       For the six months ended December 31, 1994, the company reported a net
     loss of $3.7 million, or $.22 per share, on revenue of $102.9 million,
     compared to a net loss of $3.6 million, or $.23 per share, on revenue of
     $98.3 million for the same period a year ago.  Results for the three and
     six month periods of the current year include other income of $3.5 million
     and results for the prior year periods included approximately $0.9
     million, arising from adjustments to contracts associated with the
     company's former simulation business.

       Results for the current year include losses at BBN Internet Services
     Corporation and at BBN Software Products Corporation, reflecting increased
     investment in sales and marketing activities. The increase in the
     company's revenue reflects increases primarily at LightStream Corporation
     and also at BBN Internet Services Corporation, which were partially offset
     by a decline in the company's acoustic and defense communications
     activities and in lower sales of its mature data analysis software
     products.

       The previously announced sale of substantially all of the assets of
     LightStream Corporation to Cisco Systems, Inc., which was completed on
     January 11, 1995, will be reflected in the company's third quarter
     results.  The LightStream sale is expected to result in a gain to the
     company of approximately $80.0 million.

     Revenue
     ---------
       Revenue for the three and six months ended December 31, 1994 increased
     $2.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively, from the prior year periods,
     primarily reflecting increases of approximately $3.8 million and $7.9
     million, respectively,  at LightStream Corporation.  These increases,
     together with lower increases at BBN Internet Services Corporation, were
     partially offset by continued declines in the company's acoustic and
     defense communications activities and in lower sales of its mature data
     analysis software products.  Services revenue from LightStream Corporation
     for the three and six months ended December 31, 1994 of $1.2 million and
     $3.6 million, respectively, included up-front technology license and
     initial development fees from previously announced strategic partnering
     agreements with Tellabs Operations, Inc. and NEC Corporation.

       The company, like other companies doing business with the Department of
     Defense, has been adversely affected by reduced defense spending and
     expects this general decline and attendant increased competition within
     the defense industry to continue over the next several years.  Uncertainty
     continues to exist on the size and scope of reductions in future defense
     budgets and their impact on the company's defense-related business.
     Further, there is the possibility that funding limitations could result in
     a reduction, delay, or cancellation of existing or emerging programs.
     These factors have reduced the company's U.S. government revenue and
     operating margins in recent fiscal years, and this trend is continuing in
     FY1995, particularly in the acoustic and defense communications systems
     areas.


                             BOLT BERANEK AND NEWMAN INC.
                       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                     (continued)

       In FY1991, the Defense Information Systems Agency awarded the company a
     one-year contract in support of the Defense Data Network, with up to four
     one-year optional extensions. In September 1994, the company completed the
     third option year of the contract, valued at approximately $20 million. In
     October 1994, the company was awarded the fourth and last option year of
     the contract, valued at approximately $15 million, which will continue
     these activities through October 1995. There can be no assurance that this
     activity will continue beyond October 1995, and if there is additional
     activity related to this contract, the value of any such award, even if
     received by the company, would be expected to be lower than the value of
     the current year's option award.  The company is not aware of any other
     defense communications procurements or requests for proposals for which
     the company could compete to replace the company's activities under this
     contract. Approximately $9.7 million and $10.3 million of revenue has been
     recorded under the contract in the six months ended December 31, 1994 and
     1993, respectively.

       The company conducts its commercial businesses in environments
     characterized by intense competition, shortened product cycles and rapid
     technological change, which require significant research and development
     expenditures to develop new products which address emerging market
     requirements and to improve existing products.  In recent years, the
     company's traditional commercial businesses, consisting principally of
     RS/Series(TM) data analysis and visualization software products and X.25
     network systems,  has been experiencing substantially lower revenue.
     During that period, the company has been investing heavily in the
     development of products, primarily the LightStream(TM) Asynchronous
     Transfer Mode ("ATM") switch, BBN/Cornerstone(TM) data analysis and
     visualization software and the T/10(TM) Integrated Access Device.

       On December 8, 1994, Cisco Systems, Inc. ("Cisco") agreed to buy all of
     the assets of LightStream Corporation.  The sale, which was completed on
     January 11, 1995, will be reflected in the company's third quarter
     results. Reference is made to footnote D to the consolidated financial
     statements for further discussion of this transaction.  The company's T/10
     activities are now being primarily focused on a limited number of reseller
     and strategic opportunities, and the future success of the T/10 is highly
     dependent on these opportunities.  To date revenue from the T/10 has not
     been financially significant.

       The company's data analysis software products business has been affected
     by the growth of distributed processing and the associated use of personal
     computers, workstations, and other desktop computers. The company's mature
     data analysis software products, primarily the RS/Series software,
     currently operate primarily on minicomputer systems.  As demand for
     minicomputer-based software continues to decline, the company is
     experiencing substantially lower RS/Series software revenue and downward
     pressure on prices.  During the fourth quarter of FY1993, BBN Software
     Products Corporation introduced its BBN/Cornerstone data analysis and
     visualization software specifically designed for use on desktop computers
     in a client/server environment. The initial release of BBN/Cornerstone

                    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                     (continued)

     software operates on Unix-based workstations, utilizing a number of
     established graphical user interfaces.  Planned subsequent releases will
     operate on personal computers.  Sales of BBN/Cornerstone to date in FY1995
     have not been financially significant.  The company is more tightly
     integrating BBN/Cornerstone software with its RS/Series products to
     provide platform migration and ease of use for its existing RS/Series
     customer base, and to provide greater capabilities and flexibility in
     client/server computing environments.  As part of this effort, the company
     is increasing its research and development expenditures and is investing
     in additional sales and marketing personnel. The company is focusing its
     software application solutions primarily on the manufacturing and health
     industries.  The company believes that the future success of its data
     analysis and visualization software will primarily depend upon the timely
     integration of its BBN/Cornerstone and RS/Series software and the release
     of future software applications that permit operation on personal
     computers.

       The company is significantly increasing its investment in the emerging
     market for Internet services. Such investment includes a substantial
     increase in engineering and sales personnel to support expansion
     of Internet connectivity services and to develop value-added services.
     These investments are expected to adversely affect the company's
     financial results for FY1995 and FY1996.  The company's strategy is to
     provide managed connectivity services and value-added services to
     businesses and other organizations. The market for Internet services is
     rapidly expanding, and there are considerable uncertainties as to how the
     market will develop.  Further, the Internet services business is intensely
     competitive, and competition is expected to increase.  Competitors and
     companies announcing plans to enter the market currently include large
     communications and software companies, including MCI, IBM, AT&T, and
     Microsoft, and there are no substantial barriers to entry.  The company's
     success in the Internet services market will depend heavily upon its
     ability to timely establish geographic coverage and related support
     capabilities and to provide high quality managed Internet connectivity and
     functional, unique, value-added services for organizational users of the
     Internet at a competitive cost.  The company needs to continue to rapidly
     attract additional experienced personnel in order to continue to expand
     the existing customer base and grow the business.  Moreover, the company
     may make additional acquisitions in support of its Internet business
     strategy.

       In August 1994, BBN Internet Services Corporation acquired the Bay Area
     Regional Research Network ("BARRNET"), a leading provider of Internet
     services in the San Francisco Bay Area, for approximately $6.5 million
     consisting principally of $2.0 million of cash, 270,270 shares of BBN's
     common stock and 200,000 shares of BBN Internet Services Corporation's
     common stock.  In December 1994, the company and the Southeastern
     Universities Research Association ("SURAnet") signed a non-binding letter
     of intent under which BBN Internet Services Corporation would acquire the
     SURAnet Internet service, the leading provider of Internet services in the
     Southeast.  That transaction is expected to be completed during the third
     quarter.

                    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                     (continued)

     Cost of Sales
     ---------------
       Cost of services and products as a percentage of revenue for the three
     and six months ended December 31, 1994 was 63% and 61%, respectively,
     compared to 63% and 65%, respectively, for the corresponding prior year
     periods.  The decrease in the cost of sales percentage for the six-month
     period in FY1995 is principally due to the technology license and initial
     development fees from strategic partnering agreements at LightStream
     Corporation.

     Research and Development Expenses
     -----------------------------------
       Research and development expenses for the three and six months ended
     December 31, 1994 were $6.3 million and $12.3 million, respectively,
     compared to $5.9 million and $11.2 million, respectively, for the
     comparable prior year periods.  Research and development spending on the
     LightStream ATM products for the three and six months ended December 31,
     1994 was $1.9 million and $3.9 million, respectively, compared to $2.2
     million and $4.3 million, respectively, for the comparable prior year
     periods.  The majority of the company's internally funded research and
     development spending is currently directed principally toward data
     analysis and visualization software products.  The increase in FY1995
     relates primarily to data analysis and visualization software products.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
     ----------------------------------------------
       Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six
     months ended December 31, 1994 increased $3.4 million and $6.3 million,
     respectively, from the prior year periods reflecting the investment the
     company is making primarily in the sales and marketing of its new products
     and services at BBN Internet Services Corporation, BBN Software Products
     Corporation and BBN Hark Systems Corporation.  The company expects that
     this trend will continue through FY1995.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources
     ---------------------------------
       As of December 31, 1994, the company's cash and temporary investments,
     which consisted primarily of money market funds and short term U.S.
     government securities, were $56.6 million, a decrease of $10.5 million
     from June 30, 1994.  The decrease is primarily attributable to capital
     additions and the BARRNET acquisition.

       The company expects to net approximately $80.0 million from the sale of
     substantially all of the assets of LightStream Corporation, after
     considering income taxes (including utilization of substantially all of
     the Company's net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit
     carryforwards), the minority interest and estimated costs to be incurred
     in connection with the sale.
