MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 vs. June 30, 1995 Sales decreased 18% from $4,922,000 during the six months ending June 30, 1995 to $4,044,000 during the six months ending June 30, 1996. Three customers, Dialogic, Brite Voice Systems and Periphonics, accounted for 42%, 17% and 17%, respectively, of total sales for the six months ending June 30, 1996. Dialogic accounted for 61% of total sales for the six months ending June 30, 1995. Royalty, development and license fees, which increased 43% over the six months ending June 30, 1995, were 38% of total revenues for the six months ending June 30, 1996. A one-time non-refundable fee charged to Brite Voice Systems for a license to use one of the Company's application patents accounted for approximately 21% of royalty, development and license fee revenues. Hardware sales, which decreased 38% over the six months ending June 30, 1995, were 56% of revenues in the six months ending June 30, 1996. This decrease is a result of the company's continued conversion from primarily a hardware/software supplier to become primarily a software supplier. Cost of sales includes the cost of components and subcontracted manufacturing related to hardware products. Gross profit as a percent of sales increased from 67% in the six months ending June 30, 1995 to 80% in the comparable 1996 period as a result of the decrease in hardware sales and the increase in royalty, development and license fees. Research and development expenses increased 18% from $1,234,000 in the six months ending June 30, 1995 to $1,459,000 in the six months ending June 30, 1996. This increase reflects costs associated with the retention and recruitment of highly qualified employees in research and product development. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 8% from $1,629,000 in the six months ending June 30, 1995 to $1,764,000 in the six months ending June 30, 1996.

Effective August 11, 1994, an ownership change as defined by the Internal Revenue Code Section 382 occurred. As a result of the change, the use of the Company's NOL in future years to approximately $1,355,000 annually. Federal income taxes and state franchise taxes based on income have been offset by net operating loss carryforwards thus far in 1996. Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 vs. June 30, 1995 Sales decreased 38% from $2,781,000 during the second three months of 1995 to $1,719,000 during the second three months of 1996. Three customers, Dialogic, Brite Voice Systems and Periphonics, accounted for 38%, 32% and 20%, respectively, of total sales for the second three months of 1996.

A one-time non-refundable fee charged to Brite Voice Systems for a license to use the Company's U.S. Patent No. 5,297,183 8 9 accounted for approximately 43% of royalty, development and license fee revenues. Hardware sales, which decreased 60% over the second three months of 1995, were 50% of revenues in the second three months of 1996. This decrease is a result of the company's continued conversion from primarily a hardware company to become primarily a software company. Cost of sales includes the cost of components and subcontracted manufacturing related to hardware products. Gross profit as a percent of sales increased from 66% in the second three months of 1995 to 85% in the comparable 1996 period as a result of the decrease in hardware sales and the increase in royalty, development and license fees. Research and development expenses increased 16% from $615,000 in the second three months of 1995 to $714,000 in the second three months of 1996. This increase reflects costs associated with the retention and recruitment of highly qualified employees in research and product development. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 2% from $872,000 in the second three months of 1995 to $887,000 in the second three months of 1996. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's principal cash requirements to date have been to fund working capital and capital expenditures in order to support its sales growth. Net working capital at June 30, 1996 was $17,144,000. In the past, the Company's working capital needs were financed primarily through cash flow from operations and proceeds from the exercise of stock options. A stock offering was completed during the first quarter of 1996 that provided net proceeds of $14,430,000 to the Company. At June 30, 1996, the Company held $16,365,000 in cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are invested in institutional cash investment accounts with preservation of capital being the primary consideration. All investments currently have overnight liquidity. Historically, the Company's primary source of liquidity has been the timely collection of its accounts receivable. The average days sales in accounts receivable was 81 days as of June 30, 1996. The Company's inventory as of June 30, 1996 was $493,000 and primarily consists of the Company's Personal Voice Dialer. The Personal Voice Dialer is being sold through catalogues and other direct marketing avenues that require the Company to carry sufficient inventory to fill orders in a relatively short period of time. The Company's debt at June 30, 1996 consisted of a convertible promissory note due to Dialogic on January 1, 1997. Dialogic converted accrued interest on its note to Common Stock during 1995 and 1996. The Company's capital expenditures were $294,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The expenditures were primarily for a new telephone/voice mail system, office furniture and computer equipment. VCS believes that its existing sources of liquidity, funds generated by operations and the funds received from the stock offering will be sufficient to provide the capital resources necessary to support increased operating needs and finance continued growth in the foreseeable future. 9 10 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 4.
