                 PENRIL DATACOMM NETWORKS, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              For the three months
                        Ended October 31, 1994 and 1995


1.   The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, which
     should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for
     the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995, apply to the Company and its
     wholly-owned subsidiaries and reflect all adjustments which are, in the
     opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
     Company's consolidated financial position as of October 31, 1995 and
     the results of operations for the three months ended October 31, 1994
     and 1995.  The results of operations for such periods, however, are not
     necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal
     year.

     Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period consolidated
     financial statements to conform to the October 31, 1995 presentation.

     The Company's policy is to maintain its uninvested cash at minimal
     levels.  Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid debt
     instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less.

2.   On September 22, 1995, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,465,000
     shares of its unregistered common stock to Pequot Partners Fund, L.P.,
     Pequot Endowment Fund, L.P and Pequot International Fund, Inc.
     (collectively the "Investors") for $7,325,000 in a private transaction. 
     The Company filed a shelf registration with the Securities and Exchange
     Commission on November 20, 1995 covering the shares issued in the
     transaction.   See footnote 8 to the financial statements of the
     Company's Annual Report on form 10-K for details of the stock
     registration agreement. In addition, on October 5, 1995, the Company
     completed the sale of 50,000 shares of its unregistered common stock to
     Cramer Partners, L.P. for $250,000. 

3.   Previously reported financial statements have been restated to reflect
     the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Technipower, Inc ("Technipower")
     as a discontinued operation.  The following is a summary of operating
     information for Technipower(in thousands):

    Because the Company expects to retain the tax benefits associated with
    the discontinued operation, no income tax benefit has been recorded for
    any year.

    The loss from operations for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 was
    included in the accrual in fiscal 1995 of $1,000,000 for anticipated
    operating losses through the disposal date of Technipower.


    Net assets of the discontinued operations consist of the following (in
    thousands):

4.   In August 1995, Henry D. Epstein exercised 25,000 Class E warrants
     which where issued in March 1987.  These warrants were issued with a
     per share exercise price of $3.625, the fair market value of the
     Company's common shares on the date the warrants were issued.  Mr.
     Epstein exercised the warrants by remitting 12,719 shares with a fair
     market value of $7.125 per share on the date of the exercise. 

5.   The Company amended the credit agreement with its principal bank on
     September 19, 1995.  The agreement as amended, provides for a working
     capital facility of $5,500,000 with borrowings based on qualified
     accounts receivable and inventory.  Interest accrues at the bank's
     prime rate plus 2% with a commitment fee of 3/8% assessed on the unused
     portion of the facility.  See footnote 5 to the financial statements of
     the Company's Annual Report on form 10-K for details of the amended
     agreement.  The bank has agreed in principle to extend the due date of
     $1,500,000 of the term note to March 31, 1996.

          
Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
          and Results of Operations

                     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company completed  the sale
of 1,515,000 shares of the Company's common stock for $7,575,000 in a
private placement to Pequot Partners Fund, L.P., Pequot Endowment
Fund, L.P, Pequot International Fund, Inc. and Cramer Partners, L.P.  
The proceeds were used to repay term debt and for general working
capital needs.  See footnote 8 of the Company's report on form 10-K
for details on the transaction.

As a result of the above transaction, the Company was able to reduce
accounts payable by $1,496,000 and fund the loss of $1,586,000      
(net of depreciation and other non-cash items of $727,000 but
including cash used for discontinued operations of $642,000).  Also
contributing to cash flow was the reduction of accounts receivable of
$3,347,000 keeping accounts receivable in line with the sales levels. 
Inventories increased by $1,700,000 as a result of lower than expected
sales during October 1995.  The Company is reviewing inventory
positions in order to bring inventory levels back in line with
revenues and to minimize the impact from the introduction of new
products and the phase-out of older products.

In conjunction with the sale of common shares noted above, the Company
amended the credit agreement with its principal bank.  See note 5 to
the financial statements of the Company's Annual Report on form 10-K
for details of the amended agreement.  The bank has agreed in
principle to extend the due date of $1,500,000 of the term note to
March 31, 1996.  Although there are no assurances of success, the
Company is currently attempting to sell the Technipower subsidiary and
is also investigating the possible sale of additional equity of the
Company to finance the growth of new products including the Access
Beyond (trademark) product line, and to reduce debt.

The ability of the Company to generate adequate cash for ongoing
operational and capital needs beyond the immediate needs is dependent
on the success of the Company to increase sales of its data
communications products coupled with the sale of assets,  In addition,
it may be necessary to raise cash from other sources including sales
of securities.

                          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales for Penril Datability Networks, the Company's data
communications division, were down $3,700,000 from the year earlier
comparative quarter as a result of lower sales in the domestic market
place as a result of lower purchases by some of the Company's larger
original equipment manufacturing customers and the declining market
for some of the Company's older products.  In addition, the Company
experienced some delays in shipments of  V.34 modems to several
international customers until technical issues had been resolved. 
These issues were resolved during the quarter.  These lower sales were
only partially offset by an increase in licensing revenue. 

Gross margins for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 increased to 48%
from 47% for the first quarter of fiscal 1995.  Gross margins on
product sales declined to 41% because of lower manufacturing
efficiencies in fiscal 1996 compared to fiscal 1995 and price
competition experienced in data communications products.  More than
offsetting this decline in gross margins is the increase in licensing
revenues noted above which carry no associated costs.   

For the fiscal 1995 first quarter, the Company recorded a tax benefit
of $244,000 as a result of the loss before income taxes.  The benefit
was based on the annualized effective tax rate projected for the full
fiscal year.  For fiscal 1996, the Company has reviewed the deferred
tax asset for realizability.  This review indicated no adjustment
should be made to the asset during the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  

In July 1995, the Company decided to sell the Technipower subsidiary
and consequently classified it as a discontinued business.  As a
result, the loss from Technipower for the fiscal 1995 first quarter
has been reclassified.  The loss for the fiscal 1996 first quarter of
$423,000 was accrued at the end of fiscal 1995 and is included in the
net assets of the discontinued operations.

In summary, as a result of the lower revenues and decrease in product
gross margins accompanied by inefficiencies caused by the lower
volumes, the Company had a loss from continuing operations of
$1,586,000 ($.17 per share) for the first quarter of fiscal 1996.
