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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    NET SALES Net sales increased 65% from $6.8 million in the quarter ended
June 30, 1995 to $11.3 million in the quarter ended June 30, 1996, and 69% to
$20.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 1996, from $12.3 million in the
comparable period in 1995. These increases were principally due to an increase
in unit shipments of Multimedia Conference Server (MCS) products, driven by
increased market demand and an expanded number of OEM and carrier customers.

    International sales, primarily in Europe, accounted for approximately 23%
and 36% of net sales for the quarters ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, and 24% and
33% for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996.

    GROSS PROFIT Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased from 64.9%
in the quarter ended June 30, 1995 to 66.8% in the quarter ended June 30, 1996.
For the six month period ended June 30, the gross profit rate increased from
64.2% in 1995 to 67.2% in 1996. The increases in 1996 are primarily due to a
greater proportion of higher margin products in the sales mix than in 1995, as
well as overall reductions in product cost resulting from economies of scale in
purchasing and manufacturing. The higher gross profit rates are not likely to
continue; the proportion of quarterly sales to carriers, which generally have
been at higher gross profit rates than sales to OEMs, may be uneven; recently
introduced low end, lower margin products may become a larger proportion of the
sales mix; and increased competition may result in lower selling prices.

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development expenses increased 61%
from $1.2 million in the quarter ended June 30, 1995 to $1.9 million in the
quarter ended June 30, 1996, representing 17% of net sales in each period. For
the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, research and development expenses
were $2.3 million and $3.5 million, representing 19% and 17% of net sales for
the periods. Reported research and development expenses are net of product
development fees, received under development contracts with certain customers,
which are recorded as a reduction of research and development costs as work is
performed pursuant to the related contracts and defined milestones are achieved.
The increase in research and development spending was primarily due to increased
engineering staffing required to continue to develop and enhance the Company's
MCS product line. The Company expects to continue to commit substantial
resources to research and development in the future.

    SALES AND MARKETING Sales and marketing expenses increased 54% from $1.3
million in the quarter ended June 30, 1995 to $2.0 million in the quarter ended
June 30, 1996, representing 19% and 18% of net sales for the periods. For the
six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, sales and marketing expenses were $2.4
million and $3.8 million, representing 20% and 18% of net sales for the periods.
The spending increase was due to the addition of sales and marketing personnel,
increased commissions on higher sales and the expansion of existing sales
offices. Sales personnel were added in the US and Europe to support an
increasing number of OEM distribution partners and carrier relationships. The
Company expects continued increases in sales and marketing expenses as it
addresses a broader market for its products.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE General and administrative expenses
increased 24% from approximately $789,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1995 to
approximately $977,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1996, representing 12% and
9% of net  sales for the periods. For the six months ended June 30, 1995 and
1996, general and administrative expenses were $1.4 million and $1.8 million,
representing 11% and 9% of net sales for the periods. The increase in spending
was primarily due to the addition of finance and administrative personnel, and
increased costs associated with being a public company. Although general and
administrative expenses have increased, they have decreased as a percentage of
net sales due to the more rapid growth in net sales.



                                       7

    INTEREST INCOME, NET Interest income, net, increased from approximately
$217,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1995 to approximately $442,000 in the
quarter ended June 30, 1996. For the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996,
net interest income was approximately $296,000 and approximately $850,000. The
increase was due primarily to higher cash and investment balances, resulting
from the proceeds received upon the closing of the Company's initial public
offering in June, 1995, and cash generated from operations.

    PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes was 27% for the
quarters ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, and 23% and 27% for the six months ended
June 30, 1995 and 1996. The effective tax rate in 1996 is less than the combined
federal and state statutory rate primarily as a result of the anticipated
realization of deferred tax assets previously subject to valuation reserves. The
effective tax rate in 1995 reflected the Company's utilization of net operating
loss carryforwards.

    OTHER FACTORS WHICH MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATIONS There are a number of
business factors which singularly or combined may affect the Company's future
operating results. Some of them, including risks and uncertainties related to an
evolving market, dependence on major customers, rapid technological change,
competition, and uncertainties regarding patents, protection of proprietary
technology and variability of quarterly results, have been outlined in the
Company's 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders and incorporated by reference into
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    At June 30, 1996, the Company has cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities of $47.8 million. The Company regularly invests excess funds in
short-term money market funds, government securities, and commercial paper.

    The Company generated cash from operations of $4.5 million in the first six
months of 1996. The Company's primary investing activities in the first six
months of 1996 related to capital expenditures in connection with the relocation
of its primary facility to a larger leased facility in May, 1996, as well as
computers and office equipment to support the Company's growth.

    At June 30, 1996, the Company has available a bank revolving credit facility
providing for borrowings up to $5.0 million. Borrowings are limited to a
percentage of eligible accounts receivable, and are unsecured. The Company also
has a $2.0 million term credit facility for equipment purchases made during
1996. The Company's equipment is pledged as collateral against the equipment
line of credit under these bank arrangements. Under both credit facilities, the
Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios and minimum levels of
net worth and profitability, and the Company's ability to pay dividends to
stockholders is restricted. No borrowings have been made under either facility.

    The Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities, together with cash generated from operations and borrowings
available under the Company's credit facilities, will be sufficient to meet the
Company's cash requirements for the forseeable future.
