              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


NOTE 1   BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial  information and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals)  considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  Operating  results for the three months ended June 30, 1999, are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be expected for the fiscal
year ending March 31, 2000. For further  information,  refer to the consolidated
financial  statements  and footnotes  thereto  included in the Company's  annual
report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999.

The  computation  of loss per common share is  determined  by using the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.


NOTE 2   DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As of June 30, 1999,  the Company had  collected all cash related to the sale of
discontinued  operations  except $410,000 due under a note and the only asset of
discontinued operations was real estate related to the land and buildings of the
discontinued  APC operation.  The real estate was sold in July 1999,  yielding a
net gain of $20,000.


NOTE 3   ACQUISITIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In December 1997, the Company entered into a letter of intent regarding a merger
with  NUKO  Information  Systems,  Inc.  ("NUKO").  NUKO  is a  manufacturer  of
compression and transmission technology for a variety of video applications. The
Company  subsequently was unable to reach agreement with NUKO on the transaction
and withdrew its offer in March 1998.  During  negotiations,  and in  accordance
with the terms of the letter of intent,  the Company  advanced  funds to support
NUKO's ongoing activity.  Including the interest,  the total funding advanced to
NUKO and now owed to the  Company of $1.9  million is secured by a pledge to the
Company of shares of stock owned by NUKO in iCompression,  Inc. (fka,  Internext
Compression, Inc.). In April 1998, NUKO filed a voluntary petition under Chapter
11 of the U.S.  Bankruptcy  Code. In May 1999, the Company  received an offer to
purchase  the  collateral  for a total  price of $1.9  million.  The Company has
accepted  this offer  subject to NUKO's  right of first  offer to  purchase  the
shares.   This  amount  is  included  in  notes  receivable  -  current  in  the
accompanying balance sheet. In July 1999, the Company received $1.9 million from
the sale of the  collateral,  which  provided full recovery of the principal and
interest owed on the loans.

fiscal 1999, the Company acquired AGT (April 1998) and INET (September 1998) and
through these  subsidiaries  operates an  international  long distance  services
business  segment.  The  accounting  policies  are the  same  for all  segments;

NOTE 5   SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Common Stock and Convertible Preferred Stock
- ----------------------------------------------

On May 27, 1999,  the Company  sold,  pursuant to Rule 506 under  Regulation  D,
1,767,000 shares of common stock at $6.00 per share in a private  placement with
new  and  existing  domestic  and  international  institutional  investors.  The
placement  agent received cash  commissions  of $352,000 and  commissions in the
form of common  stock  aggregating  131,148  shares and  five-year  warrants  to
purchase 176,700 shares at $6.00 per share. Of the net proceeds of approximately
$10.2  million,  $4.0 million  were used to redeem a portion of the  outstanding
Convertible  Preferred Stock and the balance is to be used for working  capital.
In connection  with this  redemption,  the conversion  price of the remaining $6
million  of  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  was fixed at $6.00 per share and the
Company issued the holder of the Convertible  Preferred Stock 18-month  warrants
to purchase  325,000  shares of common stock at $6.00 per share.  These warrants
may be exercised at any time until  December  30,  2000.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANICAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Results of Operations for the Quarter Ended June 30, 1999
- ---------------------------------------------------------

For the first  quarter of fiscal  year 2000 we had  revenues  of $10.4  million,
representing  a $3.2  million,  or a 45% increase  over the first quarter of the
prior fiscal year and a 30% increase  over the previous  quarter.  Revenues from
the sale of DSS  Switches  and related  services  increased to $8.6 million from
$7.1 million in the prior year and from $6.1  million in the  previous  quarter.
The international  long distance service  subsidiaries that were acquired during
the prior fiscal year generated revenues of $1.8 million.

Shipments of switching  equipment were contracted to three new customers  during
the  quarter  and they  represented  $7.5  million  of the  switching  equipment
revenues.  We have granted  extended payment terms to these customers while they
are in the process of seeking lease  financing for their capital  purchases.  In
view of the extended payment terms and the comparatively short operating history
of these  customers,  we have  deferred  recognition  of profit of $5.6  million
attributable of these sales,  until payment is received or all contingencies are
removed.  Contingencies  were  removed and final  payment  has been  received on
equipment sales contracts in respect of which we had previously  deferred profit
of $1.6 million. This profit was recognized in the quarter ended June 30, 1999.

The revenue  generated from sales of switching  equipment is $8.6 million in the
quarter  with a gross  margin of 31%.  If the  gross  margin  for the  switching
equipment was not impacted by the profit  deferral  described  above,  the gross
margin on  revenue of $8.6  million  would be 77%  compared  to 55% in the first
fiscal  quarter of the prior  year.  The  international  long  distance  service
subsidiaries  that were acquired  during the prior fiscal year generated a gross
margin of $0.4  million  or 24% of long  distance  service  revenues  during the
quarter  ended June 30,  1999.  The total gross margin for all lines of business
for the first  fiscal  quarter is $3.1  million,  or 30% of total  revenues,  as
compared to $3.9 million or 55% of total  revenues for the first  quarter of the
prior fiscal year.

Selling and general  administrative  expenses for the first fiscal  quarter were
$4.1 million  compared to $2.9 million for the first quarter of the prior fiscal
year.  The increase is primarily  related to the additional  operating  expenses
incurred by the long distance  service  providers  acquired in fiscal 1999. As a
proportion of total revenues,  the selling and general  administrative  expenses
improved to 39% from 41% in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year.

Engineering,  research and development  expenses for the first quarter of fiscal
2000 are $2.2 million, or 21% of sales, as compared with $1.9 million, or 27% of
sales,  for the first  quarter of the prior  fiscal year.  We have  continued to
enhance  product  offerings to meet  current and  anticipated  customer  demand,
including further refinement of our client/server architecture on our switch and
the development of voice over Internet Protocol.

The operating loss for the quarter is $3.2 million versus a loss of $0.9 million
in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year. The increase in the loss over the
corresponding  quarter  of the prior year is  primarily  the result of the lower
gross margin due to the profit deferrals  referred to above and to the increased
operating expenses required to support the increase in revenues.

Interest  expense for the quarter is $0.4 million  versus $0.02  million for the
first  quarter of the prior  fiscal  year.  The  increased  expense is comprised
entirely of financing costs related to the operations of the international  long
distance service subsidiaries.

The loss from  discontinued  operations  in the  first  quarter  of fiscal  2000
consists  of  property  tax  expenses  related  to the  remaining  assets of the
discontinued operations. The assets were sold in July 1999.

The net loss for  continuing  operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 is
$3.4 million versus a net loss of $1.1 million for the corresponding  quarter of
the prior year.  The loss  represents a basic and fully  diluted loss per common
share of $0.31 versus a loss of $0.11 for the corresponding quarter of the prior
year. The loss from discontinued operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2000
is $0.3  million  and  increases  the basic and fully  diluted per share loss to
$0.34.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -----------------------------------------------------------------

We used cash from operating  activities of $4.3 million during the first quarter
of fiscal 2000  compared to providing  $0.9 million  during the first quarter of
fiscal 1999. This deterioration in operating cash flow is due to the increase in
the operating loss and the increase in working  capital  required to support the
business growth achieved in the quarter.

We used cash for investing  activities of $1.9 million  during the first quarter
of fiscal 2000  compared to $0.4 million used for  investing  activities  in the
corresponding   quarter  of  fiscal  1999.  Capital  expenditures  on  equipment
purchases  and  software  of $1.6  million in the first  quarter of fiscal  2000
represented  an increase of $0.9 million from the  corresponding  quarter of the
prior fiscal year.  Purchases were primarily for additional  switching equipment
required to support the expansion of the  international  long distance  services
segment  of  the  business  and  software  for  certain  Internet  protocol  and
compression  capabilities.  Net cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2000
also included cash paid in connection with increases in investment in affiliates
of $0.3 million.

In May 1999, as part of our efforts to provide  additional  working capital,  we
received  $10.2 million in net proceeds from a private  placement.  From the net
proceeds of this  placement,  we paid $4 million to redeem 100 shares of the 700
shares  of 5%  Series A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  which  were  issued  and
outstanding as at March 31, 1999.

As of June 30,  1999,  we have notes  payable of $9.0  million.  These notes are
secured by certain of our assets and by 708,692  shares of our common  stock and
bear interest at the bank's prime rate (currently  7.75%) plus 1/2%. These notes
were due on demand.  In July 1999,  the  payment  date was  extended to December
2001. In addition, we have capital lease obligations of $2.4 million at June 30,
1999, payable through 2004 and a note payable of $0.3 million due February 2000.

We also have a $2.2 million  revolving  line of credit secured  against  certain
trade receivables.  As at June 30, 1999, $0.8 million has been drawn against the
line,  which bears interest at the bank's prime rate plus 4%. The line of credit
expires on February 29, 2000.  We have a long-term  obligation  in the amount of
$1.6 million in  connection  with  principal  and  interest due on  subordinated
debentures, which bear interest of 11.25% per year. The debentures mature in the
year 2002 and interest only is due until such time.

In  July  1999,  we  received  $1.9  million  from  the  sale of our  shares  of
iCompression,  Inc. These shares were acquired in settlement of loans we made to
NUKO Information  Systems in fiscal 1998 and the $1.9 million received  provides
full recovery of the principal and interest due on the loans.

We are  currently  exploring  means of raising  capital  through debt and equity
financing to fund our immediate working capital needs. In addition, we will need
additional  capital to fund our future operations and acquisition  strategy.  We
believe that we will be able to continue to fund our operations and acquisitions
by obtaining  additional outside financing;  however,  there can be no assurance
that we will be able to obtain the needed  financing  when needed on  acceptable
terms or at all.
