         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   Basis of Presentation:
     ----------------------

     Netrix Corporation (the "Company") was formed in 1985 to develop,
manufacture, market and support a family of high performance, integrated network
switching and network management products for use in enterprise-wide
communications networks.  During 1989, the Company formed a wholly-owned
subsidiary, Netrix International Corporation (a Delaware corporation) which
maintains operations in the United Kingdom.  The Company also maintains
operations in Germany and Italy through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Netrix
GmbH and Netrix S.r.l., respectively.  These consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.  All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

     The Company's operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties
including, among others, rapidly changing technology and markets, current and
potential competitors with greater financial, technological, production and
marketing resources, reliance on certain sole source suppliers and a single
contract manufacturer, and dependence on key management personnel.

     The unaudited condensed financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and include, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments,
necessary for a fair presentation of interim period results.  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 such rules and regulations.  The Company
believes, however, that its disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading.  The results for such interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial
statements to conform with current year presentation.


2.   Cash Equivalents:
     -----------------

     Cash equivalents are primarily bank deposits, commercial paper, and
government agency securities with original maturities of three months or less.
These investments are carried at cost which approximates market value.


3.   Short-Term Investments:
     -----------------------

     Short-term investments consist primarily of commercial paper with
maturities of more than three months and less than twelve months and longer-term
investments which are primarily US government obligations with maturities
between twelve and eighteen months.  Longer-term investments are bought and held
principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term.  Short-term
investments are reported at fair value.

     Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," debt securities that are
classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value, with unrealized
gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity.  At
June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the unrealized net holding gain/loss on
short-term investments was a gain of approximately $1,000 and a loss of
approximately $7,000, respectively, and is reported as a separate component of
stockholders' equity.

                                     =======             ======


5.    Commitments and Contingencies:
      ------------------------------

      Line of Credit

     The Company renegotiated its line of credit with a lending institution to
provide for a $1.0 million line of credit for working capital at an interest
rate per annum equal to the lender's prime rate plus 1% (9.5% at June 30, 1997).
The line of credit agreement includes covenants that require the Company to
maintain certain levels of liquidity and tangible net worth and matures with
unpaid principal amounts due and payable on January 3, 1998.  At June 30, 1997
and December 31, 1996, the Company had approximately $854,000 and $754,000
outstanding, respectively, under the working capital line of credit.

     Long-term Debt

     The Company utilized approximately $561,000 of available draws under an
equipment line of credit with a lending institution, which was capped at this
amount in January 1996 and began to amortize as a term loan over a 28-month
period in accordance with the credit agreement.  The term loan was accelerated
in conjunction with the credit line renegotiation and is payable in monthly
installments of approximately $54,000 through December 31, 1997.  It bears
interest at a rate per annum equal to the lender's prime rate plus 3/4% (9.25%
at June 30, 1997), and is secured by certain machinery and equipment.  At June
30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Company had approximately $361,000 and
$481,000, respectively, outstanding under the equipment note payable.

facilities in Charlotte, North Carolina.  Sales are primarily denominated in US
dollars.

                                       7

 
7. Restructuring Charge:
   ---------------------
 
     In March 1997, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of approximately
$1,350,000 before income taxes.  The charge included anticipated costs
associated with an overall reduction in work force, the discontinuance of its
micro.pop product, and the discontinuance of its direct operation in Germany.
In May 1997, the Company reduced the restructuring charge of approximately
$1,350,000 recorded in the first quarter by approximately $475,000.  The net
reduction was due mainly to the Company's decision to maintain its operation in
Germany.  At June 30, 1997, approximately $290,000 remains in this accrual to
cover remaining severance payments and legal fees.

     In March 1996, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of approximately
$900,000 before income taxes.  The charge included anticipated costs associated
with the consolidation and relocation of facilities and the reduction of
personnel levels as part of management's restructuring plan for the Company.  As
part of this plan, the Company vacated leased office space in Herndon, Virginia,
and Longmont, Colorado.  Approximately $403,000 was charged against this reserve
during 1996 related to severance and other costs associated with an approximate
15% reduction of the Company's work force.  Approximately, $118,000 of this
provision remained accrued at June 30, 1997 to cover anticipated losses from the
Herndon and Longmont lease commitments.

     The accompanying financial statements include management's best estimate of
the amounts expected to be realized from the subleasing of its Herndon facility.
The estimates are based upon an analysis of the facility, the local real estate
markets and the advice of real estate professionals.  The amounts the Company
will ultimately realize could differ materially in the near term from the
amounts assumed in the calculation of the accrual.  The future minimum rental
payments under this lease are approximately $633,000.  The lease also calls for
payments for the Company's proportionate share of certain operating expenses.


8. Foreign Currency Exchange Gain:
   -------------------------------

     Generally, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
translated into US dollars at current exchange rates.  Operating results are
translated into US dollars using the average rates of exchange prevailing during
the period.  Gains or losses resulting from translation of assets and
liabilities are included in the cumulative translation adjustment account in
stockholders' equity, except for the translation effect of intercompany balances
that are anticipated to be settled in the foreseeable future.  Included in the
condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six and three months
ending June 30, 1997 is approximately $70,000 and $115,000 in translation
losses, respectively, and for the six and three months ending June 30, 1996 is
approximately $45,000 and $34,000 in translation losses, respectively.


9. Earnings (Loss) Per Share:
   --------------------------

     Earnings (loss) per share amounts have been computed using the weighted
average number of common shares and common equivalent shares having a dilutive
effect during the periods.  For the six and three months ended June 30, 1997 and
1996, the effect of options has not been considered as they would have been
antidilutive.

  NETRIX CORPORATION

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

  Results of Operations
  ---------------------

       Background.  The results for the six and three months ended June 30, 1997
  reflect a decrease in revenues over the comparable periods in 1996 and include
  a significant restructuring charge. The decline in revenues is primarily a
  result of decreased sales of current products in all of the Company's sales
  territories, offset in part by the increased revenue generated by the
  Company's new products - the 2210 and the 2550.

       Revenues.  Total revenues decreased by approximately $4.8 million or
  22.2%, in the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the six months ended
  June 30, 1996.  Total revenues also decreased approximately $2.0 million, or
  19.5%, in the second quarter of 1997 compared to the second quarter of 1996.
  The decrease in revenues was primarily due to a higher than expected decrease
  in product volume of Series 10 and acquired Republic Telcom product lines and
  slower than expected sales of new products, specifically, the Series 2210
  access product.  Product revenues decreased approximately $4.7 million, or
  28.5% for the first six months of 1997 compared to 1996. Service revenues
  decreased by approximately $0.1 million, or 2.9%, for the six months ended
  June 30, 1997 compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996. For the second
  quarter of 1997, there was a decrease in service revenue of $77,000 or 2.7%
  from second quarter of 1996.

       Gross Profit.  Gross profit decreased by approximately $3.9 million, or
  34.6%, for the first six months of 1997 compared to the first six months of
  1996, and decreased as a percentage of total revenues from 52.4% to 44.0%.
  For the second quarter of 1997 compared to the second quarter of 1996, gross
  profit decreased approximately $2.1 million or 35.7%, and decreased as a
  percent of total revenues from 54.8% to 43.8%.  Product gross margin decreased
  from 57.9% in the first six months of 1996 to 51.2% in the first six months of
  1997. This decrease in product gross margin primarily resulted from a
  combination of a higher proportion of products sold through channels with
  higher discounts and, to a lesser extent, a lower margin mix of products
  shipped.  As the product mix and channel mix change from quarter to quarter,
  product gross margins can vary within a wide range.  Due to this variable mix,
  margins earned in the six months ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily
  indicative of margins that will be earned in the future.  The gross margin for
  service revenue decreased from 35.6% in the first six months of 1996 to 28.0%
  in the first six months of 1997. This is due to the fact that while revenues
  from maintenance agreements remained relatively flat, service costs increased.

       Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing expenses decreased by
  approximately $0.1 million or 2.4% from the first six months of 1996 to the
  first six months of 1997.  For the second quarter of 1997 as compared to the
  second quarter of 1996, the decrease was approximately $0.2 million, or 5.8%.
  The decrease in expenses was principally due to the Company's planned
  restructuring discussed above, which resulted in a decrease in personnel and
  travel costs.

       Research and Development.  Research and development expenses decreased by
  approximately $0.7 million or 13.4% from the first six months of 1996 to the
  comparable period of 1997. This decrease was due principally to decreased
  expenses related to salaries and related personnel costs due to the
  restructuring that occurred earlier this year. Second quarter expenses
  decreased 21.7% during this time period.  Currently, all of the Company's
  research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.

  decreased by approximately $0.1 million or 4.7%, for the first six months of
  1997 as compared to the same period in 1996.  For the second quarter of 1997
  compared to the second quarter of 1996 there was a decrease of approximately
  $0.1 million, or 9.6%. The decrease in these expenses was due principally to a
  reduction in personnel costs, and a lower level of legal and accounting
  expenditures.

       Restructuring Charge.  In March 1997, the Company recorded a
  restructuring charge of approximately $1,350,000 before income taxes.  The
  charge included anticipated costs associated with an overall reduction in work
  force, the discontinuance of its micro.pop product, and the discontinuance of
  its direct operation in Germany.  In May 1997, the Company reduced the
  restructuring charge of approximately $1,350,000 recorded in the first quarter
  by approximately $475,000.  The net reduction was due mainly to the decision
  not the discontinue its operation in Germany.  At June 30, 1997, approximately
  $290,000 remains in this accrual to cover remaining severance payments and
  legal fees.

       In March 1996, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of
  approximately $900,000 before income taxes.  The charge included anticipated
  costs associated with the consolidation and relocation of facilities and the
  reduction of personnel levels as part of management's restructuring plan for
  the Company.  As part of this plan, the Company vacated leased office space in
  Herndon, Virginia, and Longmont, Colorado.  Approximately $403,000 was charged
  against this reserve during 1996 related to severance and other costs
  associated with an approximate 15% reduction of the Company's work force.
  Approximately, $118,000 of this provision remained accrued at June 30, 1997 to
  cover anticipated losses from the Herndon and Longmont lease commitments.

       Interest and Other Income, Net.  For the first six months of 1997, the
  Company earned net interest and other income of approximately $110,000
  compared to $263,000 in the comparable period of 1996.  Net interest and other
  income for the second quarter of 1997 was approximately $1,000 compared to
  $86,000 in the second quarter of 1996.  The decrease in net interest and other
  income is due primarily to lower investment levels maintained in short-term
  investments, combined with increased interest expense on the Company's
  borrowings.

       Foreign Exchange  Gain (Loss). Included in foreign exchange income for
  the six and three months ended June 30, 1997, is approximately $70,000 and
  $115,000 in translation losses, respectively, and for the six and three months
  ended June 30, 1996, is approximately $45,000 and $34,000 in translation
  losses, respectively.

       Net Income (Loss).  For the first six months of 1997, the Company
  generated a net loss of approximately $6.2 million compared to a net loss of
  $3.1 million in the comparable period of 1996.  The net loss for the second
  quarter of 1997 was approximately $1.7 million compared to a net loss of $0.8
  million in the second quarter of 1996.  The decline in earnings for both the
  year to date and second quarter results were due to the factors discussed
  above.

  Liquidity and Capital Resources
  -------------------------------

       At June 30, 1997, the Company had approximately $1.1 million of cash and
  cash equivalents on hand, short-term investments of $1.7 million, and net
  working capital of $12.2 million.

       For the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company used
  approximately $2.9 million and approximately $4.8 million of cash from
  operating activities, respectively.  In the first six months of 1997, the cash
  used by operations was primarily due to the negative cash flow from operations
  and the increase in inventory levels over the December 31, 1996 balances. In
  the six months of 1996, the cash used by operations was primarily due to the
  negative cash flow from operations and the reduction in accounts payable
  levels over the December 31, 1995 balances.

                                      10

 
       For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company generated $3.3
  million from investing activities, as sales of investments outpaced purchases
  of investments and capital equipment.  For the six months ended June 30,1996
  the Company generated approximately $1.3 million from investing activities as
  the result of a $1.8 million net decrease in short-term investments offset by
  capital expenditures during the period.  Capital expenditures in both periods
  were financed with cash on hand and funds generated from operations.  The
  expenditures were primarily for additional research and development and test
  equipment required to support the expanded product base of the Company.

       The Company renegotiated its line of credit with a lending institution
  to provide for a $1.0 million line of credit for working capital at an
  interest rate per annum equal to the lender's prime rate plus 1% (9.5% at June
  30, 1997).  The line of credit agreement includes covenants that require the
  Company to maintain certain levels of liquidity and tangible net worth and
  matures with unpaid principal amounts due and payable on January 3, 1998.  At
  June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Company had approximately $854,000
  and $754,000 outstanding, respectively, under the working capital line of
  credit.

       The Company utilized approximately $561,000 of available draws under an
  equipment line of credit with a lending institution, which was capped at this
  amount in January 1996 and began to amortize as a term loan over a 28-month
  period in accordance with the credit agreement.  The term loan was accelerated
  in conjunction with the credit line renegotiation and is payable in monthly
  installments of approximately $54,000 through December 31, 1997.  It bears
  interest at a rate per annum equal to the lender's prime rate plus 3/4% (9.25%
  at June 30, 1997), and is secured by certain machinery and equipment.  At June
  30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Company had approximately $361,000 and
  $481,000, respectively, outstanding under the equipment note payable.

       Cash generated by financing activities was approximately $48,000 for the
  first six months of 1997, compared to $248,000 of cash generated by financing
  activities for the first six months of 1996.

       The Company believes that existing cash resources, together with
  internally generated funds, will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements
  through fiscal 1997.

       Items 1 through 4 are not applicable.

       Item 5.     Other Information.
                   -----------------

                      On July 11, 1997, the Board of Directors approved a stock 
                   option exchange program (the "Exchange Program"), pursuant to
                   which full-time employees holding stock options under the
                   Company's stock option incentive plans with an exercise price
                   in excess of $2.33 per share were given the opportunity to
                   exchange the unexercised portion of such options (the
                   "Existing Options") for new options (the "New Options"),
                   covering such number of shares as is equal to the unexercised
                   portion of the Existing Options and having an exercise price
                   of $2.33 per share (120% of the fair market value of the
                   Company's Common Stock on such date). The New Options will
                   have the same terms as the Existing Options, including the
                   same vesting schedule, but are not exercisable for six months
                   from the date of grant.

                      The Company uses stock options as a significant element of
                   the compensation of employees, in part because it believes
                   options provide an incentive to employees to maximize
                   shareholder value. Stock options, because they become
                   exercisable over time, also serve as a means of retaining
                   employees. Because the market value of the Company's Common
                   stock has fallen below the exercise price of most outstanding
                   options, the value of such stock options as a means of
                   motivating and retaining employees has been significantly
                   diminished. Accordingly, the Board of Directors has concluded
                   that the Company needed to restore the value of the existing
                   stock options as a means of motivating and retaining
                   employees in order to promote the successful implementation
                   of the Company's growth strategies.
