ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

    Andrea Electronics Corporation ("Andrea") has entered into a License and
Technical Support Agreement, dated as of October 3, 1995 (the "Agreement"),
with BellSouth Products, Inc. ("BellSouth"), a subsidiary of BellSouth
Telecommunications Inc.  Under the Agreement, Andrea has granted BellSouth
certain license rights for a period of three years covering the incorporation
of Andrea's Anti-Noise(R) Active Noise Cancellation ("ANC") technology into
residential and small business telephones and an exclusive right to
distribute these telephones to residential and small business end users in
the United States, Canada, Mexico, South America and Israel.  To maintain the
exclusivity of the distribution rights, BellSouth must meet certain minimum
production requirements.  The minimum aggregate royalties payable to Andrea
over the three-year term of the Agreement if these minimum production
requirements are met would be seven million dollars.  Under the Agreement,
Andrea is obligated to furnish BellSouth with certain engineering and
technical support relating to the ANC technology.  The introduction of
BellSouth telephones incorporating ANC technology was first announced in
September 1994.
