NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                         April 28, 1995
                           (Unaudited)


Note D - Adoption of SFAS No. 115

The  Company  adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 115, "Accounting
for  Certain  Investments in Debt and Equity Securities"   as  of
July  31, 1994.  SFAS No. 115 establishes standards for financial
accounting  and  reporting for investments in  equity  securities
that   have  readily  determinable  fair  values  and   for   all
investments in debt securities.

Each investment is classified into one of three categories: held-
to-maturity,    available-for-sale   and   trading    securities.
Investments which the Company has the intent and ability to  hold
until maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities  and
are   reported   at  amortized  cost.   Trading  securities   are
investments which are bought and held principally for the purpose
of  selling them in the near term and are reflected at fair value
with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.  Available-
for-sale  securities represent all investments not classified  as
either held-to-maturity or trading and are reported at fair value
with  unrealized  gains  and losses excluded  from  earnings  and
reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity.

The  adoption of SFAS No. 115 did not have a material  impact  on
the Company's financial statements.


Note E - Litigation

In November 1993, an action was brought against the Company for damages
related to the use of the Company's products. The plaintiff filed a suit
claiming repetitive stress injuries resulting from the use of the Company's
product in the course of employment with American Airlines from the period
May 1981 through July 1991. The plaintiff alleges damages in the amount of $1
million and punitive damages of $10 million. The Company believes that the
claim is without merit and has tendered defense of this action to its
insurance carriers. In the opinion of managment, the outcome of this
litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's finacial
position or its results of operations. The Company is not involved in any
other substantial litigation.

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

Results of Operations

Total  net  sales in the third  quarter of fiscal 1995  increased
62%  to $3,036,000 from sales of  $1,870,000 in the third quarter
of  the  prior fiscal year. For the first nine months  of  fiscal
1995, net sales increased 50% to $8,737,000 compared to sales  of
$5,837,000 for the comparable fiscal 1994 nine-month period.  The
increase  for  both the third  quarter and nine months of  fiscal
1995  is  a result of shipments to the Company's largest Original
Equipment  Manufacturer ("OEM") customer, International  Business
Machines ("IBM"), of LAN products launched into the market in late
fiscal 1994.  In addition, royalty revenues were realized in fiscal
1995 from another new product developed by the Company and released
by IBM in July 1994.

Sales  to IBM accounted for 81% of the Company's revenue in both the
third quarter and nine months  of fiscal 1995 compared  with  60%
and 63% respectively, for  the comparable periods of fiscal 1994. 
Sales to IBM continue to  account  for a substantial portion of
the Company's revenues and,  consequently,  the  Company's  business
continues to be volatile due to its dependence on a dominant customer.
Since IBM considers product sales and market data confidential,
the Company has very little ability to forecast future demand.
Because IBM has the exclusive responsibility for marketing and
selling of the products that ICOT develops for IBM, the Company's
profitability can be significantly affected by IBM's success in the
market place.

PC  to Mainframe Connectivity sales of $532,000 and $1,642,000 in
the third   quarter and the nine  months of fiscal 1995 represent
a  decrease of 29% and 25%, respectively, when compared  with  the
same periods of the prior fiscal year due to reduce royalties recieved
from an OEM customer and a general decline in the Company's connectivity
market share.

Gross  margins  as  a percent of sales were  39%  in  the  third
quarter  and 42% for the nine months of fiscal 1995 compared
with  47%  and  49%  for the same periods of  fiscal  1994.   The
decrease  in  margins was primarily attributable to  product  mix
resulting  from  shipment of new products in the  current  fiscal
year.  Amortization of capitalized software costs charged to cost
of sales were $205,000 and $249,000 in the third quarter and nine
months  of  fiscal  1995,  respectively.   There was no amortization
expense  in the comparable  periods  of  the  prior fiscal year.

<PAGE>

Net  research and development expenses increased 19% to  $353,000
in the third quarter and 19% to $1,281,000 in the nine months
of  fiscal 1995 when compared to the same periods of fiscal 1994.
Research and development expenses are net of software development
costs  capitalized  in  accordance with  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting Standards No. 86 ("SFAS 86") and of funded development
costs.   During  fiscal  1995 there was no capitalization of
software development costs, resulting in higher expenses for the
current period. Software development costs capitalized in the
third quarter and nine-month period of the prior fiscal year were
$125,000  and $390,000 , respectively.  Funded development  costs
in  the  third  quarter and nine-month period of fiscal 1995 were
$222,000  and  $470,000  compared  with  $96,000  and  $395,000,
respectively, for the comparable periods of fiscal 1994. The
Company believes that  research and  development is a key element
in its ability to  compete  and will continue to make investments
in product development and  its support of product reliability.

Marketing and sales expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 1995
decreased by $39,000 or 20% from the comparable quarter of fiscal
1994. Such expenses were higher by $101,000 or 15% for the nine-
month period of the current fiscal year when compared to last fiscal
year  due to the Company's participation in trade shows and sales
promotion related to the PC-Connectivity business and the  hiring
of additional inside sales personnel.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $90,000  or  33%
in  the  third  quarter and $134,000 or 14% for the nine-month
period of fiscal 1995 when compared with the same periods of prior
fiscal year.  Lower occupancy costs, combined with reduced legal,
audit and professional fees, contributed to reduced spending levels.

Interest  income increased to $72,000 in the third   quarter  and
$198,000 for the nine months of fiscal 1995 when compared with the
same  periods of fiscal 1994.  This increase is primarily due  to
higher interest yields on short-term investments.

The  provision  for income taxes in the third  quarter  and nine-
month period of fiscal 1995 were $23,000 and $51,000 compared  to
$12,000 and $22,000 for the comparable periods of 1994. This
provision was a result of net operating profit after benefit of
Federal net operating loss carry forwards.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company had cash and short term investments of $5,290,000  as
of April 29, 1995, compared to $6,037,000 as of July 30, 1994. Such
amount was subsequently reduced, primarily as a result of loans to
Amati. See "Acquisition of Amati".

Cash  provided  by  operating  activities  of  $501,000  resulted
primarily  from $960,000 net operating profit realized  in fiscal
1995, offset by a  decrease  in  accrued expenses of $667,000.

Cash provided by investing activities of $412,000 related primarily
to the liquidation of $6,885,000 of short-term investments upon
their maturity, offset by the purchase of $5,862,000 of short-term
investments. As of April 29, 1995 the Company has advanced to Amati
$550,000 of working capital loans under a senior promissory note
which is secured by Amati's proprietary technology, bearing interest
at 7.91% per annum and are due on March 21, 1996.

Cash used for financing activities in fiscal 1995 of $637,000 was
primarily  due to the Company's repurchase of 537,347  shares  of
its  own  common stock for $563,000 and payments of capital lease
obligations of $76,000, offset by  proceeds  from  the exercise
of  stock  options of $2,000. These stock repurchases have been
discontinued and the Company does not expect to continue to 
repurchase any additional common stock.

<PAGE>

Currently,  the  Company does not have a  bank  line  of  credit.
Establishment  of  a  credit  line  renewal  is  underway following
a review of cash requirements for the combined business operations
of ICOT and Amati. The Company anticipates that its available cash
reserves and funds from improved operating margins, collaborative
research and devolopment agreements, licensing agreements and
investment income should be adequate to satisfy cash requirements
of the combine business entity into the first half of fiscal 1996 under
currently projected revenues and planned levels of spending. The Company's
future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including
sales levels, progress in its research and development programs,
the establishment of collaborative agreements, cost of manufacturing and
commercialization activities and the demand for the Company's products,
if and when developed.

The  Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures
as  of   April 29, 1995.  It is the Company's policy to monitor
the  state  of  its  business,  cash  requirements,  and  capital
structure.

Acquistion of Amati

On May 15,1995 the Company signed a definitive agreement to merge
with Amati Communications Corporation, a privately held Mountain View,
California based company, subject to the approval of the shareholders
of both companies and registration of the ICOT shares to be issued in
the merger. Amati is a devolopment stage company that develops advanced
transmission systems utilizing Discrete Multi-tone ("DMT") technology
to provide high speed transmission over copper and cable media. The merger
is expected to be completed in approximately three months. Under the terms
of the agreement, after the merger, the shareholders, and warrant and
option holders of Amati will aquire shares, warrants and options
totaling 45% of the fully diluted shares of ICOT. Because Amati is
a development stage company, the combination will have an adverse effect
on the combined company's financial position and results of operations
in the forseeable future. However, the combination with Amati is expected
to provide ICOT with a leading edge technology in an emerging market of
significant potential.

Pursuant to the definitive agreement with Amati Communications Corporation,
the Company agreed to loan $3,400,000 under Senior Secured Promissory Notes.
As of June 8, 1995 the outstanding aggregate principal amount advanced to
Amati is $2,433,000.
