                         PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION


The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and
condensed consolidated statements of operations of Network Systems Corporation
("Network") and Bytex Corporation ("Bytex") (collectively, "the Pro Forma
Statements") were prepared to illustrate the estimated effects of the
acquisition by Network of all the outstanding common shares of Bytex at $6.80
per share, for balance sheet purposes as of September 30, 1993, and for purposes
of the statements of operations as of January 1, 1992. The statements of
operations reflect the combined revenues and expenses of Network and Bytex.
There were no intercompany transactions for the periods presented.  The pro
forma statements of operations reflect the recurring items which are directly at
tributable to the acquisition, such as amortization of intangible assets,
reduction of interest income, reduction in payroll costs for positions
eliminated as a result of the merger, and the related tax effects thereof.  The
Pro Forma Statements do not purport to represent what the companies' financial
position or results of operations would have been if the acquisition had
occurred on the date or at the beginning of the periods indicated or to project
the companies' financial position or results of operations for any future date
or period.

The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and upon certain
assumptions that Network believes are reasonable in the circumstances.  The
purchase price has been allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based
on a preliminary determination of their respective fair values.  The Pro Forma
Statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the
respective historical consolidated financial statements of Network and Bytex,
including the notes thereto.

                    NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
                        FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

                                September 30, 1993


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     On September 27, 1993, Network Systems Corporation ("Network") commenced a
     cash tender offer for all the outstanding shares of Bytex Corporation
     ("Bytex") for $6.80 per share.  On November 2, 1993, the date the tender
     offer expired, Network purchased approximately 96% of the then outstanding
     shares of Bytex pursuant to the tender offer.  On November 16, 1993, Bytex
     was merged with Network's wholly-owned acquisition subsidiary.  As a result
     of the merger, Bytex became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Network and all
     remaining outstanding shares of Bytex were cancelled and exchanged for the
     cash price of $6.80 per share.  All funds necessary to purchase the Bytex
     shares and to pay the acquisition related costs will be provided by cash
     and cash equivalents of Network and Bytex.

     In another transaction, on May 26, 1993, Network completed the acquisition
     of Bus-Tech, Inc. ("BTI").  On April 29, 1993, Network had announced its
     intention to acquire privately held BTI in a cash-for-assets purchase
     valued at $24.5 million.  All funds necessary to purchase BTI and pay
     acquisition related costs were provided by cash and cash equivalents of
     Network and BTI.

     Network's, Bytex's, and BTI's most recent fiscal year end was December 31,
     1992.  The accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet
     reflects the pro forma condensed consolidated financial position of Network
     and Bytex at September 30, 1993.  Network's September 30, 1993, condensed
     consolidated balance sheet already reflects the acquisition of BTI in May
     1993.  The accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated statements of
     operations reflects the pro forma consolidated results of operations of the
     companies for their most recent fiscal years and the pro forma nine-month
     period ended September 30, 1993.  BTI's results of operations are
     separately reported through April 30, 1993, after which BTI's results of
     operations are a part of Network's results of operations.  Because the BTI
     transaction was not considered a significant transaction, pro forma
     financial information was not previously reported.

     Certain amounts have been reclassified in order to conform the financial
     statements of Network and Bytex.

          unfinished product development in connection with the valuation of

          The remaining $6,942,000 of charges are associated with moving the
          Bytex operation from Boston to Minneapolis and completing the move
          of the remaining Vitalink operations from Fremont to Minneapolis
          which was part of a restructuring plan that was finalized and
          approved by Network System's Board of Directors in December 1994.

          The primary components of the $6,942,000 restructuring charge
          discussed above include $2,127,000 of costs associated with severance
          and relocation of employees; $1,927,000 for the write-off of non-
          productive or abandoned fixed assets, leasehold improvements, and
          inventory; $1,490,000 of accrual of costs relating to the complete
          abandonment of the Vitalink facility which is to be completed in
          1994; and $550,000 of costs associated with modifying current
          automated accounting and service support systems to accomodate
          Vitalink and Bytex requirements.
