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.

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

Results of Operations

Total  net  sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1995  increased
31%  to $2,638,000 from sales of $2,012,000 in the second quarter
of  the  prior fiscal year.  For the first six months  of  fiscal
1995, net sales increased 44% to $5,701,000 compared to sales  of
$3,967,000 for the comparable fiscal 1994 six-month period.   The
increase  for  both the second quarter and first half  of  fiscal
1995  is  a result of shipments to the Company's largest Original
Equipment  Manufacturer ("OEM") customer, International  Business
Machines ("IBM"), of products launched into the market in  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  the
second  quarter and first half of fiscal 1995 compared  with  64%
for  the comparable periods of fiscal 1994.  These sales 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.  While IBM has
the  exclusive  responsibility for marketing and selling  of  the
products that ICOT develops, the Company's profitability  can  be
significantly affected by IBM's success in the market place.

PC  to Mainframe Connectivity sales of $508,000 and $1,110,000 in
the  second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1995 represent
a  decline of 30% and 23%, respectively, when compared  with  the
same periods of the prior fiscal year.  The Company is continuing
its efforts to look for additional opportunities, principally OEM
arrangements,  to incorporate its technology into other  marketed
products.   It  has sought to form alliances with companies  that
have  established  market  positions  but  are  lacking  in  data
communication solutions.  To date, the Company's efforts have not
resulted in any definitive arrangements.

Gross  margins  as  a percent of sales were  45%  in  the  second
quarter  and 44% for the first six months of fiscal 1995 compared
with  54%  and  50%  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 $23,000 and $44,000 in the second quarter and first
six   months  of  fiscal  1995,  respectively.   There   was   no
amortization  expense  in the comparable  periods  of  the  prior
fiscal year.

Net  research and development expenses increased 11% to  $421,000
in the second quarter and 19% to $928,000 in the first six 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 were no capitalized  software
development  costs, resulting in higher expenses for the  current
period.  Software  development costs capitalized  in  the  second
quarter  and  six-month  period of the  prior  fiscal  year  were
$115,000  and $265,000 , respectively.  Funded development  costs
in  the  second quarter and six-month period of fiscal 1995  were
$153,000  and  $248,000  compared  with  $146,000  and  $299,000,
respectively, 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 second quarter of fiscal 1995
decreased by $36,000 or 14% from the comparable quarter of fiscal
1994.   Expenses were higher by $62,000 or 14% for the  six-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 $84,000  or  22%
in  the  second quarter and $44,000 or 7% for the six  months  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 favorable spending levels.

Interest  income increased to $63,000 in the second  quarter  and
$125,000 for the six 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 second quarter  and  six-
month period of fiscal 1995 were $16,000 and $27,000 compared  to
$10,000 for the second quater and six-month period of fiscal 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 $5,562,000  as
of January 28, 1995, compared to $6,037,000 as of July 30, 1994.

Cash  provided  by  operating  activities  of  $152,000  resulted
primarily  from  improved net operating profit  realized  in  the
first  half  of  fiscal  1995, offset by a  decrease  in  accrued
expenses.

Cash provided by investing activities of $952,000 related primarily
to the liquidation of $4,402,000 of short-term investments upon
their maturity, offset by the purchase of $3,437,000 of short-term
investments. There were no capitalized software costs in the current
fiscal year.  In the same period of fiscal  1994, however, $265,000
was used for  capitalization  of internal software development costs.

Cash used for financing activities in fiscal 1995 of $614,000 was
primarily  due to the Company's repurchase of 537,347  shares  of
its  own  common stock for $564,000 and payments of capital lease
equipment  obligations of $52,000, offset by  proceeds  from  the
exercise  of  stock  options of $2,000.  In September  1994  the
Company's Board of Directors approved an additional repurchase of
1,500,000 shares of its common stock. These purchases are  to  be
made from time to time in the open market.

<PAGE>

Currently,  the  Company does not have a  bank  line  of  credit.
Establishment  of  a  credit  line  renewal  is  subject  to  the
Company's review of its cash requirements.  The Company  believes
that  its  current  cash  and  short-term  investments  will   be
sufficient  to  meet its cash requirements for the  fiscal  year.
The Company's ability to satisfy its cash requirements beyond its
current  cash balances is subject to uncertainties in  generating
cash flow from improved operating margins.

The  Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures
as  of   January 28, 1995.  It is the Company's policy to monitor
the  state  of  its  business,  cash  requirements,  and  capital
structure.
