                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts
of Interphase Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  Significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 Effective January 31, 1996 the Company changed its fiscal year end from October
31 to December 31.  For comparison purposes, results for the quarter ended June
30, 1996, are being compared with results from the prior year quarter ended July
31, 1995.  The Company has not recast the prior year financial information
presented herein to conform to the new fiscal quarter ends, as management does
not believe such recasting would be as meaningful for comparative purposes, as
the July 31, 1995 information presented herein.   Management believes the July
31, 1995 results are the most comparable to the quarter ended June 30, 1996
results, particularly for comparing trends in operations.

While the accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited, they have
been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of the Company, all material
adjustments and disclosures necessary to fairly present the results of such
periods have been made.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto for the year ended October 31, 1995.


2.  NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT
    SHARE


Net income (loss) per common and common equivalent share is computed using the
weighted average number of outstanding shares and common equivalent shares.  The
dilutive impact of outstanding stock options have been considered under the
treasury stock method using the greater of the average bid price or closing bid
price for the period.

Weighted average common and common equivalent shares:

3.  ACQUISITIONS


SYNAPTEL

Effective June 29, 1996 the Company acquired all the capital stock of Synaptel,
S.A., ("Synaptel"), a French company , for approximately $19,000,000.   The
purchase consideration consisted of $8,000,000 in cash, 594,595 shares of
the Company's common stock, valued at approximately $9,200,000 and $1,800,000 of
accrued acquisition costs.  The Company financed the cash portion of the
consideration through a credit facility with a financial institution.  This
acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting from
the effective date of the acquisition; since the acquisition was effective June
29, 1996, operating results for Synaptel through June 30, 1996, were not
significant.  The total purchase consideration in excess of the fair value of
the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired is included in goodwill.
Identified intangibles acquired included approximately $11,600,000 of
in-process research and development, $4,100,000 of developed technology and
$392,000 related to Synaptel's assembled workforce. Goodwill, developed
technologies and assembled workforce will be amortized using the straight-line
method.   Acquired in-process research and development activities have no
alternative future use and have not achieved technological feasibility;
accordingly, the amounts have been expensed in the accompanying consolidated
statement of operations for the periods ended June 30, 1996.

The allocation of the purchase consideration as reflected in the accompanying
balance sheet as of June 30, 1996, and the related statements of operations for
the three- and six-month period then ended is based upon preliminary estimates
of fair values, and are subject to change as additional information is
available.

In addition to the purchase consideration discussed above, the purchase
agreement included provisions for additional consideration of  $3,500,000 cash
and 450,000 options to purchase the Company's common stock at an exercise price
of $18.50 per share if Synaptel attains certain revenue and operating income
targets through 1998.  The actual cash earnout and number of employee stock
options may increase or decrease depending upon performance against targets.
The cash payments pursuant to these provisions will be accounted for as
additional purchase consideration when payment is probable.  The compensatory
elements, if any, for these stock options will be expensed over the exercise
periods.

Due to the timing of the acquisition being near the end of the Company's
quarterly reporting period, pro forma financial information for fiscal 1995 and
for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996, reporting the Company's operating
results as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of each period is
not currently available.  Such pro forma financial information will be filed by
the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as required within the
allowable time period.


ACQUIRED PRODUCT RIGHTS

In June, 1996, the Company acquired the rights to manufacture, market, and 
sell certain FDDI products from Cisco Systems Inc. The acquired product 
rights are included in acquired developed technology and the accompanying 
June 30, 1996 balance sheet and will be amortized ratably over the anticipated
revenue stream of such products sold.

4.  CREDIT FACILITY


Prior to the Synaptel acquisition discussed in Note 3, the Company entered 
into a  credit facility with BankOne Texas NA.  The credit facility consists 
of an $8,500,000 acquisition term loan, a $2,500,000 equipment financing 
facility  and a $5,000,000 revolving credit facility.   The facility is a 2 
year facility, with interest at the banks base rate (currently 8.5%).  The 
term loan is payable in equal quarterly installments of $529,000 plus accrued 
interest commencing on November 30, 1996  with final payment due April 30, 
1998.  The Company has the ability to satisfy the quarterly payments on the 
term notes through borrowing under the revolving credit component of the 
credit facility.  The credit facility is collateralized by marketable 
securities held by Banc One, Trust, assignment of accounts receivable and 
equipment.  The credit facility includes certain restrictive financial 
covenants and is subject to a borrowing base calculation.

The total purchase consideration in excess of the fair value of the tangible

Identified intangibles acquired included approximately $11,600,000 of 
acquired in-process research and development, $4,100,000 of developed 
technology and $392,000 related to Synaptel's assembled workforce. Goodwill, 
developed technologies and assembled workforce will be amortized using the 
straight-line method.  The acquired in-process research and development 
represents activities initiated by Synaptel have not achieved technological 
feasibility and have no alternative future use.  These in-process R&D efforts 
relate to new remote access and ISDN products.  The acquisition of Synaptel 
has been accounted for as a purchase and the purchase price allocation 
discussed herein reflect management's preliminary estimates and are subject 
to adjustments as additional information is available.

the acquisition of the Cisco FDDI product rights.    The decrease in  cash 
position is primarily the result of  funding on going operations, an increase 
in inventory and an increase in accounts receivable since October 31, 1995.  
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company 
secured a new credit facility with BankOne Texas, NA, to finance the Synaptel 
acquisition and new equipment purchases.  The credit facility consists of an 
acquisition term loan, an equipment financing term loan and a revolving 
credit facility (see note 4 to the consolidated financial statements).

The Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and
proceeds from its credit facility will be adequate to meet foreseeable needs for
the next 12 months.
