                         Notes to Financial Statements


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Accord Networks Ltd. (the "Parent") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries - in the
United States and the United Kingdom (collectively, the "Company"), are engaged
in the business of development, manufacturing and distributing of an
advanced networking and switching system that allows for real-time interactive
visual communications. The Parent commenced selling its system in 1997.  The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
based upon the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") rules that permit
reduced disclosure for interim periods. In management's opinion, these
statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
results of the interim periods shown. All adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature unless otherwise disclosed. Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities
are likely to vary from quarter to quarter. Therefore, the results and trends in

NOTE 2 - SALES OF SHARES IN INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

On June 28, 2000, the Company executed an underwriting agreement selling
5,000,000 ordinary shares at an offering price of $11.00 per share for gross
proceeds to be paid to the Company of $55.0 million. The gross proceeds were
offset by underwriting fees payable to the underwriting firms of $3.9 million,

NOTE 4 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during each period.  In computing the diluted earnings per
share, account was taken of the dilutive effect of the outstanding stock
options, using the treasury stock method.

Following are data relating to the weighted average number of shares for the
purpose of computing earning per share:

NOTE 5 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On November 20, 1998, VideoServer, Inc., now known as Ezenia! Inc., filed a
patent infringement claim against the U.S. subsidiary, Accord Networks, Inc., in
the United States District Court, District of Massachusetts, alleging that the
subsidiary had and was willfully and deliberately infringing on one of Ezenia!
Inc.'s patents. The plaintiff later amended its complaint to allege that the
subsidiary also had and was willfully and deliberately infringing on other
patents. On June 10, 1999, the Parent was added as a defendant in the lawsuit.
On June 16, 2000, the Parent, the subsidiary and the plaintiff entered into a
written settlement agreement and the court entered an order dismissing the case.
The settlement agreement includes the following terms:

 . The Company paid Ezenia! Inc. $500,000 when the settlement agreement was
  signed, and will pay an additional $6.0 million upon demand. The Company is
  prepared to make payment of this obligation immediately, but has not been
  requested by Ezenia! Inc. to make such payment due to foreign tax withholding
  considerations.

 . The Company, its subsidiary and Ezenia! Inc. have executed mutual releases of
  all claims concerning the lawsuit that the Company may now have or ever had
  against each other.

 . Ezenia! Inc. agrees it will not sue the Company, its subsidiary or any of the
  Company's customers for infringement of any patents involved in the
  litigation; and

 . The Company, its subsidiary and Ezenia! Inc. agree not to sue one another or
  any of each other's customers for infringement of any other patents held by
  the Company, its subsidiary or Ezenia! Inc. for three years from the date of
  the written settlement agreement. The Company, its subsidiary and Ezenia! Inc.
  also agree not to later sue one another for any alleged infringement claims or
  damages for alleged infringement that may arise during those three years.

NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

a.  On July 6, 2000 the Company received $51.1 million proceeds from the sale of
    ordinary shares pursuant to an initial public offering net of underwriting
    fees of $3.9 million.

b.  On July 17, 2000 the Company's underwriters exercised the option to purchase
    653,000 additional ordinary shares from the Company and 97,000 ordinary
    shares from two selling shareholders at the initial public offering price of
    $11 per share in order to cover over-allotments. The closing of the over-
    allotment option occurred on July 20, 2000, at an aggregate offering price
    to the public of $8,250,000. The net offering proceeds to the Company from
    the sale of the additional 653,000 ordinary shares was $6,680,190, after
    deducting the underwriting fees. The over-allotment option was granted to
    the underwriters in connection with the Company's initial public offering.

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

     The following discussion and other sections of this Form 10-Q may contain
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  All statements
regarding future events, future financial performance and operating results,
business strategy and financing plans are forward-looking statements.  In many
cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology, such as
"may," "will," "should," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates,"
"believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," or "continue," or the negative
of such terms and other comparable terminology.  These statements are only
predictions.  Known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors could
cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those projected in
the forward-looking statements.  An additional statement made pursuant to the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and summarizing certain of the
principal risks and uncertainties inherent in the Company's business is included
herein under the caption "Forward Looking Statements."  You are encouraged to
read this statement carefully.

Overview

General. Accord develops, manufactures, markets and supports an advanced
visual communications networking system. The Company's MGC-100 and MGC-50
systems allow multiple parties to engage in visual communications across and
between different types of networks, transmission protocols and endpoints. The
Company's systems allow users to connect to broadband and narrowband, circuit-
switched and packet-based networks and they support endpoints utilizing Internet
protocol, or IP, asynchronous transfer mode, or ATM, and integrated service
digital network, or ISDN. The Company's systems are designed to provide maximum
reliability, scalability and ease of use.

Accord was incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel in 1992. From the
Company's incorporation until 1997, it was a development-stage company primarily
engaged in research and development, establishing relationships with suppliers
and potential customers and recruiting personnel. The Company incorporated a
subsidiary, Accord Networks, Inc., in the United States in 1995, and a
subsidiary, Accord Networks (UK) Limited, in the United Kingdom in 1998. The
Company established offices in Beijing and Shanghai, China in 1999. The
Company's research and development and manufacturing facilities are located in
Petach Tikva, Israel, a suburb of Tel Aviv. The executive offices and North
American sales, marketing and customer support operations are located in
Atlanta, Georgia, and its international sales, marketing and customer support
operations are located in London, England.

Results Of Operations

Total Revenues. Total revenues increased 72.6% to $9.6 million in the quarter
ended June 30, 2000 from $5.5 million in the quarter ended June 30, 1999.
Increased revenues were due to sales to new customers as well as increased sales
to existing customers.

Gross Profit and gross margin. Our gross profit increased to $6.7 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from $3.9 million for the quarter ended June 30,
1999. Our gross profit increased to $12.5 million for the six months ended June
30, 2000 from $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Our total
gross margin for the second quarter 2000 was 70.0% and for the

                                     -10-
<PAGE>

six months ended June 30, 2000 was 70.2% compared to 69.9% for the second
quarter of 1999 and compared to 70.3% for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

Research and Development Expenses, Net.  Research and development expenses were
$1.7 million for the second quarter 2000 compared to $889,000 for the second
quarter 1999. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, research and development
expenses were $3.3 million compared to $1.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999. Research and development expenses were 18.1% of total revenues
for the second quarter 2000 compared to 16.0% of total revenues for the second
quarter of 1999. For the comparable six-month periods, the research and
development expense net percentage decreased to 18.2% from 19.0%. The increase
in absolute dollars was due primarily to the addition of personnel in our
research and development organization.

Selling and Marketing Expenses, Net.  Selling and marketing expenses  were $3.3
million for the second quarter 2000 compared to $1.9 million for the second
quarter 1999. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, selling and marketing
expenses were $6.1 million compared to $3.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999. Selling and marketing expenses were 34.2% of total revenues for
the second quarter 2000 compared to 33.6% of total revenues for the second
quarter of 1999. For the comparable six-month periods, the selling and marketing
expenses net percentage decreased to 34.0% from 35.2%.  The increase in absolute
dollars reflects a higher selling and marketing headcount, higher compensation
costs, including commissions.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were
$1.3 million for the second quarter 2000 compared to $931,000 for the second
quarter 1999. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, general and administrative
expenses were $2.6 million compared to $1.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999. General and administrative expenses were 13.3% of total revenues
for the second quarter 2000 compared to 16.8% of total revenues for the second
quarter of 1999. For the comparable six-month periods, the general and
administrative percentage decreased to 14.3% from 16.3%. The increases in
expenditures in absolute dollars were due to the additional of staff in the
functions of finance, accounting and management information systems. These
increases were made to support our rapid growth and to prepare us to become a
public Company. General and administrative expenses also included legal fees and
other out of pocket costs associated with the legal settlement described below.

Lawsuit Settlement Cost. The lawsuit settlement cost of $6.5 million represents
a one-time charge resulting from the settlement of a patent infringement lawsuit
on June 16, 2000. Under generally accepted accounting principals and SEC
accounting pronouncements, a charge of this nature has to be presented in the
income statement as an operating expense even though it is non-recurring and a
one-time charge. Management believes that the settlement of this lawsuit is a
positive development for the Company and the fact that is was settled prior to
our initial public offering was a positive development in our being able to go
public in the second quarter 2000. The information included in this Form 10-Q on
the lawsuit should be read in conjunction with the Legal Proceedings section of
the Company's Form F-1 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company initially financed its operations primarily through sales of equity
and the receipt of grants from OCS and BIRD to fund research and development.
Before the Company's initial public offering, it sold convertible preferred
shares in six private placement transactions realizing aggregate gross proceeds
of approximately $25.8 million in cash, including $3.8 million before 1996, $5.2
million in March 1996, $9.0 million in March 1998 and $6.5 million in August
1999. During December 1999 and January 2000, warrants to purchase 583,705 series
B preferred shares were exercised and the Company received payment of
approximately $1.3 million for those shares.  Preferred shares were
automatically converted to ordinary shares upon completion of the Company's
initial public offering.

On June 28, 2000, the Company sold 5,000,000 million shares in its initial
public offering. As the result of this transaction, all preferred shares of the
Company (Series A, B and C) were converted into ordinary shares of the Company
on a one-for-one basis. As a result of this event, the Company has only one
class of shares outstanding.

On June 28, 2000, the Company executed an underwriting agreement selling
5,000,000 shares of ordinary shares at an offering price of $11.00 per share for
gross proceeds to be paid to the Company of $55.0 million. The gross proceeds
were offset by underwriting fees payable to the underwriting firms of $3.9
million with the Company receiving $51.1 million. The Company received the
proceeds subsequent to June 30, 2000 on July 5, 2000.  The Company's financial
statements reflect this amount as a Receivable from the sale of ordinary shares
pursuant to an initial public offering. The net proceeds received were further
reduced by offering expenses of $2.9 million.

As of June 30, 2000, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3.2 million
which does not include the proceeds from the initial public offering as
described above.

On July 17, 2000, the Company's underwriters exercised an option to purchase
additional shares from the Company and shares from two selling shareholders
totaling fifteen percent of the ordinary shares sold in the initial public
offering. The closing of the option occurred on July 20, 2000, and the Company
received additional net proceeds of $6.7 million.

On June 16, 2000, the Company settled the lawsuit described above and in the
Company's Form F-1 filing with the SEC. As of June 30, 2000, the Company had
paid $500,000 of the settlement and owes an additional $6.0 million to the third
party. Accord is prepared to make payment of this obligations immediately but
has not been requested by the third party to make such payment due to foreign
tax withholding considerations.

The Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents combined with
the items described above will be sufficient to meet the Company's cash
requirements for the foreseeable future.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates
primarily to our investment portfolio.  We do not use derivative financial
instruments in our investment portfolio.  We place our investments with high
credit quality issuers, and by policy, limit the amount of credit exposure to
any one issuer.  The portfolio includes only marketable securities with
maturities of less than 24 months and with active secondary or resale markets to
ensure portfolio liquidity.  The Company has no investments denominated in
foreign country currencies and therefore are not subject to foreign currency
risk on such investments.

Item 2.  Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

         (d)  Use of Proceeds

     The Company's Registration Statement on Form F-1 (Registration No. 333-
38804) was declared effective on June 28, 2000 and the Company's initial public
offering commenced on June 28, 2000.  The Company received net proceeds of
approximately $48,575,000 after deducting estimated underwriting discounts,
commissions, and offering expenses.  The underwriters subsequently exercised in
full their over-allotment option to purchase additional ordinary shares.  As a
result, the Company received an additional $6,680,190.  In the aggregate, the
Company received net proceeds of approximately $55,255,190 from its initial
public offering.  The Company intends to use approximately $6,000,000 of the net
proceeds as payment for the settlement of a patent infringement lawsuit.  The
Company intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds primarily for general
corporate purposes, including working capital, additional capital expenditures,
geographic expansion and additional sales and marketing efforts.  The Company is
currently assessing the specific uses and allocations for these remaining funds.
Pending the intended uses of the net proceeds, the Company has invested the net
proceeds in short-term, interest bearing, investment-grade securities.
