                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                     ---------------------------------------
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                  ---------------------------------------------

Results of Operations

 THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 1, 1995

      REVENUES. The Company's revenues increased $30,845,000 or 42%, in the
three month period ended March 30, 1996 from the comparable period in 1995. The
increase in revenue was primarily a result of increased videoconferencing system
unit shipments. This growth was partially offset by a reduction in the average
selling price of videoconferencing systems resulting from a shift towards lower
priced models, especially the personal desktop products, as well as a shift in 
distribution channel mix with approximately 76% of revenue now coming from the 
indirect channels. Videoconferencing system sales accounted for approximately 
83% of the Company's revenues for the three month period ended March 30, 1996 
and 84% for the comparable period in 1995. Sales of group and desktop 
videoconferencing products accounted for 64% and 19%, respectively, of revenues
for the three month period ended March 30, 1996 compared with 72% and 12%, 
respectively, for the comparable period in 1995. In addition, sales of bridge 
products accounted for approximately 8% of the Company's revenues for the three
month period ended March 30, 1996 compared to approximately 6% for the 
comparable period in 1995. The balance of the revenues in 1996 and 1995 were 
primarily from maintenance services, licensing/development agreements and the
sales of stand-alone codecs and video modems.

     The Company's revenues from sales to foreign markets were approximately
$50,610,000 in the three month period ended March 30, 1996 compared to
approximately $31,507,000 from the comparable period in 1995, representing 48%
and 42%, respectively, of total revenues. The Company expects that international
revenues will continue to account for a significant portion of total revenues.

     GROSS MARGIN. The Company's gross margin increased $13,094,000 or 35%, in
the three month period ended March 30, 1996 compared to the comparable period in
1995. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 48% for the three month
period ended March 30, 1996 compared with 51% for the comparable period in 1995.
Gross margin as a percentage of revenues decreased slightly as a result of the
increased percentage of volume through the indirect channels and a reduction in
the average selling price of videoconferencing systems. These two trends are
expected to continue and may impact future gross margins.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased $3,791,000 or 16% from the comparable period in 1995 and
decreased as a percentage of revenues to 26% from 32%. The dollar increase in
spending resulted primarily from the worldwide marketing focus associated with
expanding indirect channels and new product launches, as well as increased
commission expense. In addition, the Company has provided additional sales,
general and administrative personnel in order to support the Company's overall
growth.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses increased
$3,531,000, or 34% in the three month period ended March 30, 1996 from the
comparable period in 1995 and were 13% and 14%, respectively, of revenues for
the three month period ended March 30, 1996 and the comparable period in 1995.
Research and development expenditures, prior to the capitalization of software
costs, were $15,309,000 in the three month period ended March 30, 1996 and
$11,275,000 in the comparable period in 1995 or 15% of revenues, respectively.
The dollar increase in expenditures primarily reflects the Company's continuing
investment in new product and software development for existing and future
videoconferencing products. The Company capitalized software costs of $1,348,000
in the three month period ended March 30, 1996 and $882,000 in the comparable
period in 1995 representing 9% and 8% of research and development expenditures,
respectively.

     OPERATING INCOME. Although gross margin as a percentage of sales was less
than the comparable period in 1995, operating income as a percentage of sales 
increased due to a decline in operating expenses as a percentage of sales.

     NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income increased to $1,077,000 in the
three month period ended March 30, 1996 from $617,000 in the comparable period
in 1995. The increase was primarily the result of higher portfolio balances and
lower interest expense.

     OTHER INCOME, NET. Other income, net of $677,000 in the three month period
ended March 30, 1996 consists primarily of gains on sales of securities and net
gains on foreign currency transactions. Other income of $275,000 in the
comparable period in 1995 consists primarily of net gains on foreign currency
transactions.

     INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective tax rate for the three month period
ended March 30, 1996 and the comparable period in 1995 was 32% and 29%
respectively, and the rate for the three month period ended March 30, 1996 was
lower than the federal statutory rate primarily due to state tax credits,
foreign tax rates and foreign losses not tax benefited.

     FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. This section includes certain forward-looking
statements about the Company's business and new products, sales and expenses,
effective tax rate and operating and capital requirements. Any such statements
are subject to risks that could cause the actual results or needs to vary
materially. These risks are discussed in Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company's Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

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

At March 30, 1996 the Company had $37,536,000 in cash and cash equivalents,
$13,833,000 in short-term marketable securities and $43,931,000 in long-term
marketable securities. During the three month period ended March 30, 1996 the
Company generated $9,683,000 in net cash from operating activities. The primary
use of cash during the three month period ended March 30, 1996 was to fund the
growth in working capital items such as accounts receivable, as well as
additions to property and equipment. Capital expenditures for 1996 are projected
to be approximately $30,000,000 including leasehold improvements related to the
newly leased property for the Company's corporate office and manufacturing
facilities, of which $3,930,000 was spent in the first quarter.

     The Company has available for borrowing up to $17,000,000 under its
revolving credit agreement and approximately $4,341,000 available under local
foreign guaranteed lines of credit to certain of its foreign subsidiaries. At
March 30, 1996 there was $9,691,000 outstanding under the revolving credit
agreement and $541,000 outstanding under the foreign lines of credit. At March
30, 1996, the Company had $2,140,000 outstanding and $15,000,000 available to be
borrowed under various leasing lines.

      The Company believes that funds from operations, equipment lease
financing, borrowings under its various credit agreements and existing cash,
cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to meet the
Company's foreseeable operating and capital requirements.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 - Legal Proceedings
- --------------------------

      In December 1993, the Company was sued by Datapoint Corporation in the
United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. Datapoint
alleges that certain of the Company's products infringe patent rights allegedly
owned by Datapoint. The complaint seeks approximately $51 million in damages for
alleged past infringement and an injunction against alleged future infringement.
The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the allegations of the
complaint. On April 25, 1996, a special master appointed by the Court to
consider the Company's motion for summary judgment of non-infringement filed his
report, which is subject to review by the court, recommending that the Company's
motion be denied on the grounds that the Company's claims raise factual issues
that cannot be decided without a trial. The Company has objected to certain
aspects of the master's report and continues to vigorously defend against the
lawsuit. In the event the Company is found to be infringing a valid patent or
patents in such proceedings, the Company could be required to pay damages for
past infringement and cease the sale of products incorporating the infringing
feature (or be required to take a license and pay royalties with respect to such
patents). While there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail, the
Company believes that it is unlikely that the outcome of the lawsuit would have
a material adverse effect on the business or the financial condition of the
Company.
