NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and reflect all 
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the 
opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results 
for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not 
necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or 
for any future period. The accompanying financial statements should be read 
in conjunction with the audited financial statements of NetLive 
Communications, Inc. ("NetLive" or the "Company") as of March 31, 1996 and 
for the period from August 23, 1995 (date of inception) to March 31, 1996 and 
the notes thereto included in the Company's registration Statement on Form 
SB-2 (No. 333-4057).  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. The Company 
believes, however, that the disclosures in this report are adequate to make 
the information presented not misleading in any material respect.  There have 
been no significant changes in accounting policy since March 31, 1996.

NOTE 2

PRIVATE PLACEMENT AND PUBLIC OFFERING

    During May, 1996, the Company completed a private placement offering of 
securities in which it issued 200,000 shares of common stock at an offering 
price of $2.50 per share with proceeds to the Company of approximately 
$376,000, which is net of approximately $124,000 of offering expenses.  The 
company used a portion of the net proceeds to repay $250,000 of aggregate 
principal amount of notes payable and approximately $4,500 of interest.  The 
Company recorded a charge to earnings of approximately $165,000 during the 
quarter ended June 30, 1996 in connection with the repayment of the notes 
payable. 

    In August, 1996,  the Company completed an initial public offering of 
950,000 shares of its common stock at $5.50 per share and 730,000 common 
stock purchase warrants for $0.10 per warrant. The proceeds to the Company, 
net of underwriting commissions and offering expenses, were approximately $4.2 
million.

NOTE 3

NET LOSS PER SHARE 

The net loss per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period.  For purposes of this calculation,
shares of common stock issued prior to the filing of the registration statement
relating to the initial public offering, and shares issuable upon exercise of
all common stock purchase warrants and options outstanding, with exercise prices
below the initial public offering price of $5.50, have been included in weighted
average number of shares outstanding, since inception, using the treasury stock
method.

NOTE 4

INCOME TAXES

No provision for income taxes has been made for the three months ended June 30,
1996 as the Company has net operating losses.  These net operating losses have
resulted in a deferred tax asset at June 30 , 1996.  Due to the uncertainty
regarding the ultimate amount of income tax benefits  to be derived from the
Company's net operating losses, the Company has a recorded a valuation allowance
for the entire amount of the deferred tax asset at June 30, 1996.

NOTE 5

EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS 

The Company maintains a stock option plan to motivate and reward its employees,
officers and directors.  The Company issued 120,000 stock options to senior
employees under the plan during the quarter ended June 30, 1996.  During the
quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company recorded $300,000 as deferred
compensation in connection with the issuance of 100,000 employee stock options,
based on the difference between the fair market value of the common stock
underlying the stock options at the time of issuance, and the exercise price of
the stock options.  During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company also
recorded a charge to earnings of approximately $12,500 to recognize amortization
of the deferred compensation.  The Company will amortize the deferred
compensation recorded in connection with the issuance of the 100,000 employee
stock options in the amount of approximately $25,000 each quarter over the next
three fiscal years.

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

This Report contains, in addition to historical information, forward looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  These forward looking
statements include statements regarding the Company's growth and expansion plans
and the sufficiency of the Company's liquidity and capital. Such statements are
based on management's current expectations and are subject to a number of
uncertainties and risks that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those described in the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause
such a difference include, but are not limited to, those described under "Risk
Factors" in the Company's prospectus dated August 12, 1996, issued in connection
with the Company's Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (No. 333-4057).

OVERVIEW

NetLive is a development stage software and World Wide Web content development
company. NetLive is developing several unique Web services to deliver one-on-one
videoconferenced entertainment and professional services content directly to
consumers' desk tops utilizing a proprietary video call center commerce system.
NetLive plans to develop a computer services consulting business that is focused
on implementing advanced software solutions for business that leverage the
powerful qualities of the Internet and maximize a business's marketing and
customer service capabilities. 

The Company believes that significant ongoing investment in all areas of the
business will continue to be critical to the success of NetLive. Specifically,
the Company plans to continue increasing its operating expenses to fund greater
levels of technology research and development and to develop its capabilities
in the computer services consulting field.  

The Company plans to commence test marketing of the Jeane Dixon PsychicNet 
pay-per-call telephone service, utilizing 900 telephone numbers, in the third 
fiscal quarter of 1997. The expansion of marketing and operation of this 
service will be based upon the results of the initial market tests. 

Furthermore, the Company continues to seek strategic alliances and joint
ventures that complement the Company's overall business strategy. Based on 
this strategy, the Company directs a significant percentage of its capital
reserves towards operating expenses and towards non-operating expenses
associated with business development, and anticipates continuing to do so for
the near future.  Net losses were $421,307 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997
as compared to $243,129 in the period from August 23, 1995 (date of inception)
to March 31, 1996.  Net loss per share in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 was
$0.21 as compared to $0.16 in the period from August 23, 1995 (date of
inception) to March 31, 1996.

The Company has only a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of the
Company and its prospects can be based. The Company's prospects must be
considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently
encountered by companies in their early stage of development, particularly
companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. To address these risks, the
Company must, among other things, respond to competitive developments, continue
to attract, retain and motivate qualified persons, and continue to develop its
technologies and commercialize products and services 


                                       8

<PAGE>


incorporating such technologies. There can be no assurance that the Company 
will be successful in addressing such risks. The Company has incurred net 
losses since inception through the quarter ended June 30, 1996.  As of June 
30, 1996, the Company had an accumulated deficit during the development stage
of $971. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve profitability.

Research and Development 

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries to support 
product research and development. Research and development expenses in the 
first quarter of fiscal 1997 were primarily attributable to increased 
staffing costs. Management believes that research and development activities 
are the single most critical area for investment in the Company and, as a 
result, anticipates further increasing staff and making significant 
expenditures in an effort to achieve completion of the Company's video call 
center commerce system, as well as to develop new and enhanced products and 
services.  This may cause research and development expenses to increase as a 
percentage of total expenses in future periods.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of expenses for
sales and marketing activities, administration, office operations, finance and
general management activities, including legal, accounting and other
professional fees. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $231,950
for the three months ended  June 30, 1996, as compared to $237,940 for the
period from August 23, 1995 (date of inception) to March 31, 1996. 

The Company recorded deferred compensation of $300,000 for the difference
between the grant price and the deemed fair value of the Company's common stock
for stock options granted in the quarter ended June 30, 1996. Selling, general
and administrative expense in the quarter ended June 30, 1996 include $12,500 of
non-cash charges associated with the amortization of such deferred compensation.
The Company will record additional charges of approximately $25,000 in each of
the next twelve quarters in connection with the amortization of deferred
compensation.

The Company anticipates that general and administrative expenses will increase
substantially as the Company hires additional personnel and incurs additional
costs related to being a public company, such as expenses related to directors'
and officers' insurance, investor relations programs and increased professional
fees. In addition, the Company anticipates continued increases in its
infrastructure-related expenses, such as costs for facilities,
telecommunications and management information systems.


                                       9

<PAGE>

Additionally, the Company anticipates further increasing the size of its sales
and marketing staff and expects to incur significant increased expenditures for
promotional and advertising activities.

Interest expense, net and financing costs

Interest expense, net and financing costs, consists of interest incurred on 
equipment financing, financing costs and debt, offset by interest earned on cash
and cash equivalents. Interest expense, net and financing costs increased to
$189,357 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $5,189 for the period
from August 23, 1995 (date of inception) to March 31, 1996. 

During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company used a portion of the
proceeds from a private placement to repay its outstanding notes payable in the
aggregate principal amount of $250,000 plus interest of approximately $4,500. 
After repaying its outstanding debt, and together with the proceeds from the
initial public offering, which the Company received in August, 1996,  the
Company expects to see an increase in interest income over prior periods.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company has no provision for income taxes for this quarter ended June 30,
1996, since it incurred net losses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's cash and cash equivalent balance was $20,142 at June 30, 1996, as
compared to $160,395 at March 31, 1996. Net cash used in operations was $175,687
for the three months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $81,660 used for
operations for the period from August 23, 1995 (date of inception) to March 31,
1996.  The increase in net cash used in operations was primarily attributable to
the increased net loss stemming from expansion of operations.

Net cash used in investing activities was $24,029 for the three months ended
June 30, 1996, as compared to $18,923 for the period from August 23, 1995 (date
of inception) to March 31, 1996. Investing activities consisted primarily of 
purchases of property and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities was  $59,463 for the three months 
ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $260,978 for the period from August 23, 
1995 (date of inception) to March 31, 1996. This decrease resulted from 
repaying outstanding notes payable of $250,000 and incurring deferred 
offering costs in connection with the initial public offering.  These uses of 
cash were financed mainly by the sale, in May, 1996, of 200,000 shares of  
common stock in a private placement which generated proceeds of $376,000, net 
of offering expenses.

The Company completed an initial public offering in August, 1996 and received
gross proceeds totaling approximately $5.3 million. The Company estimates that
it has incurred approximately $1.1 million in initial public offering expenses
that will be paid out of the proceeds.

                                       10

<PAGE>

Assuming that there is no significant change in the Company's business, the
Company believes that existing cash balances and proceeds from the initial
public offering will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements for
at  least the next twelve months.
