NOTE 1 :  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The financial information included herein relating to December 31, 1995
is audited and the  financial  information  relating to the three month  periods
ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995 is  unaudited,  and as such reflects all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim
periods).  Certain  information and footnote  disclosures  normally  included in
accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting  principles have been condensed
pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.

         The results of  operations  for the three month  period ended March 31,
1996 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year. It is suggested that these interim  statements be read in conjunction with
the financial  statements and notes included in the Company's  Annual  Financial
Report filed on Form 10KSB for the year ended December 31,1995.

NOTE 4 :   BANK LINE OF CREDIT

         The  Company  maintains  a $750,000  line of credit  collateralized  by
eligible  accounts  receivable.  The line bears  interest  at prime plus  1.75%,
increased to prime plus 2.00%  effective  December 28, 1995, and is renewable in
June, 1996. At March 31, 1996 the Company had $0 outstanding against this line.


NOTE 5:   STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

         In October,  1995,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued
Statement of  Financial  Accounting  Standard  (SFAS) No. 123,  "Accounting  for
Stock-Based  Compensation."  SFAS No. 123 will be  effective  for  fiscal  years
beginning  after  December  15, 1995,  and will require that the Company  either
recognize in its consolidated financial statements costs related to its employee
stock-based  compensation  plans, such as stock option and stock purchase plans,
or make pro forma  disclosures  of such costs in a footnote to the  consolidated
financial statements.  SFAS No. 123 is not expected to have a material effect on
the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.

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



         This section and the  financial  information  provided  herein  contain
forward looking statements that involve risks and  uncertainties.  The Company's
actual results may differ  materially  from  management's  expectations  and the
results discussed in the forward looking  statements.  Significant factors which
could affect performance include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the
subsection  entitled  "Factors  Affecting  Operating Results and Market Price of
Stock" commencing on page (9) below.

         The  following  is  management's  discussion  and  analysis  of certain
significant  factors which have affected Xiox's financial position and operating
results  during the periods  included in the  accompanying  condensed  financial
statements.


First Quarter, 1996 vs 1995


REVENUES /   Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were $1,339,525,
NET INCOME   a decrease of 25% versus the $1,775,508  recorded  during the three
months ended March 31,  1995. A portion of the $435,983  decrease in revenues is
attributable to the sale of the Company's Gemini Telemanagement  Systems ("GTS")
business in the fourth quarter of 1995.

                  Total  expenses  during the three  months ended March 31, 1996
were $ 1,433,860,  a decrease of 30% versus the $2,034,958 of expenses  incurred
during the three months ended March 31,  1995.  The variable  portion of product
costs  declined  slightly to 20% of total revenue in first quarter 1996 from 22%
in 1995 due to variations in product mix. Total product costs as a percentage of
revenues  decreased  to 45% in  1996  from  51% in  1995,  primarily  due to the
Company's  efforts to  centralize  key functions of its  operations.  Efforts to
manage expenses were realized during the first quarter of 1996 and are reflected
in an overall decrease in other operating expenses of 26% or $287,896 versus the
comparable quarter of 1995.

          Interest  income  from lease  investments  and  short-term  securities
generated  interest income of $2,652 versus the year earlier  interest income of
$3,900.  Interest expense during the quarter decreased 88%, from $12,336 in 1995
to $1,536 in the first  quarter of 1996,  primarily  due to a  decrease  in bank
credit line borrowings.

         The Company lost $94,335 from  operations  during the first  quarter of
1996 and  incurred a net loss after  taxes of $96,034  versus a loss of $259,450
from operations and a net loss after taxes of $268,436 in the comparable quarter
of  1995.  On  a  comparative   basis,   this   represents  a  64%  increase  in
profitability,  or a decrease in net loss of $163,416, at a lower revenue level.
The  Company  attributed  this to its  management  of  expenses  and  efforts to
streamline operations.

     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
                                 OF OPERATIONS
                                   (continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources at March 31, 1996

         At March  31,  1996,  Xiox  held  cash and  cash  equivalents  totaling
$235,201  and had working  capital of $ 1,121,122  versus  cash  equivalents  of
$334,165 and working  capital of  $1,125,754  at December 31, 1995.  The Company
anticipates  investing  a total of $100,000 in capital  equipment  during  1996,
consisting  primarily of computer  hardware  and software and office  equipment.
Since December 31, 1995, capital equipment procurements have totaled $4,393.

         In December,  1995, the Company  decreased its bank line of credit from
$1,000,000 to $750,000.  The bank line,  when  utilized,  is  collateralized  by
certain  current assets and property and equipment.  The line carries a variable
interest  rate  based  upon  prime  plus  1.75%,  increased  to prime plus 2.00%
effective  December 28, 1995. At March 31, 1996,  the Company had $0 outstanding
against this line.


Factors Affecting Market Price of Stock at March 31, 1996

         Xiox operates in a rapidly changing  environment that involves a number
of risks and  uncertainties,  some of which are beyond the Company's control and
any of which may have an adverse  effect on the  Company's  business,  financial
condition,  and results of operations.  These uncertainties include, but are not
limited to, the Company's  reliance on the sale of few  products;  the Company's
dependence on the ability of its  distribution  channels to market the Company's
products;  the fluctuations in the Company's quarterly results and the effect of
these  results on the  Company's  ability to maintain  its listed  status on the
Nasdaq Small Cap Market;  the ability of the  Company's  product  developers  to
design products and software that do not contain defects and "bugs" which render
the products or software  inoperable,  or  susceptible  to  breakdown,  software
viruses, or "hacking"; and the outcome of the litigation in which the Company is
involved.
