              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1 :  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The  financial  information  included  herein  relating to December  31, 1996 is
audited, and the financial information relating to the three month periods ended
March  31,  1997 and March  31,  1996 is  unaudited,  and as such  reflects  all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim
periods).  Certain  information and footnote  disclosures  normally  included in
accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting  principles have been condensed
pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.

The results of  operations  for the three month  period ended March 31, 1997 are
not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. It
is suggested  that these  interim  statements  be read in  conjunction  with the
financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Financial Report
filed on Form 10K-SB for the year ended December 31,1996.

NOTE 2 :  INVENTORIES

Inventories  at March 31, 1997 have been stated at the lower of cost  (first-in,
first-out basis) or market. Inventories consist solely of purchased hardware and
software products (finished goods).

NOTE 4 :   BANK LINE OF CREDIT

The Company  maintains a $1,000,000  line of credit  collateralized  by eligible
accounts  receivable.  The line  bears  interest  at  prime  plus  1.50%  and is
renewable in May 1997. At March 31, 1997 the Company had $0 outstanding  against

NOTE 5:   RECENT ACCOUNT PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Financial  Accounting Standards Board recently issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No. 128 requires
the  presentation  of basic  earnings per share ("EPS") and, for companies  with
complex  capital  structures,  diluted EPS. SFAS No. 128 is effective for annual
and interim periods ending after December 31, 1997.  Adoption of SFAS No. 128 is
not expected to have a material  impact on net income (loss) per common share as
presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

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



The  forward-looking  statements included in this Quarterly Report filed on Form
10-QSB, which reflect management's best judgment based on factors known, involve
risks and  uncertainties.  In  addition,  the Company may from time to time make
oral  forward-looking  statements.  The  Company's  actual  results could differ
materially  from those  anticipated  in these  forward-looking  statements  as a
result of a number of  factors,  including  but not  limited to those  discussed
under "Certain Risk Factors Which May Impact Future Operating Results and Market
Price of Stock on page 9 below.  Forward-looking  information  provided  by Xiox
should be evaluated in the context of these factors.

The following is  management's  discussion  and analysis of certain  significant
factors  which have effected  Xiox's  financial  position and operating  results
during the periods included in the accompanying condensed financial statements.



Results of Operations

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $1,272,934,  a decrease of
5% versus the $1,339,525  recorded during the three months ended March 31, 1996.
The $66,591  decrease in revenue is attributable to the Company's  typical trend
of weaker sales in the first  quarter  compared to sales for the last quarter of
the previous year.

Total  operating  expenses  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1997 were
$1,233,114,  a decrease of 14% or $200,746  versus the  $1,433,860  of operating
expenses  incurred  during the three months ended March 31, 1996.  Total product
costs as a percentage  of revenue  decreased to 38% in the first quarter of 1997
from 45% in the first  quarter in 1996,  primarily  due to variations in product
mix and inventory variance.

Research and development  expenses increased by 6% or $11,616 to $201,370 in the
first  quarter of 1997  compared to $189,754 in the first quarter of 1996 due to
an increased investment in new product development.

Marketing, Sales and General and Administrative expenses in the first quarter of
1997  decreased by 14% or $92,307  compared to the first  quarter of 1996 due to
discretionary spending controls offset by increased spending in new products.

Other income decreased by $8,858 from the first quarter of 1996 primarily due to
a $10,883  profit  sharing  distribution  in the  first  quarter  of 1997.  This
decrease was offset by a moderate  increase in interest  income from  short-term
securities  in the first  three  months of 1997 to $3,142  versus  $2,653 in the
first three months of 1996. In addition,  no debt was  outstanding  in the first
quarter of 1997 explaining the decrease in interest  expense to $0 versus $1,536
in the first quarter of 1996.

The Company earned $39,820 from operations  during the first quarter of 1997 and
reported  a net income  after  taxes of  $29,253  versus a loss of $94,335  from
operations  and a net loss after taxes of $96,034 in the  comparable  quarter of
1996. The Company attributed this to its management of expenses, product mix and
efforts to streamline operations.

                                                                          PAGE 8

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


Liquidity and Capital

At March 31, 1997, Xiox held cash and cash equivalents totaling $389,492 and had
working  capital of $741,997  versus cash  equivalents  of $291,488  and working
capital of $693,485 at December  31,  1996.  The Company  anticipates  investing
approximatedly  $100,000 in capital equipment during 1997,  consisting primarily
of computer hardware and software and office equipment. Since December 31, 1996,
capital equipment procurements have totaled $39,878.

In December, 1996, the Company had a bank line of credit of $1,000,000. The bank
line, when utilized,  is  collateralized  by certain current assets and property
and equipment.  The line carries a variable  interest rate based upon prime plus
1.50. At March 31, 1997, the Company had $0 outstanding against this line.


Certain Risk Factors Which May Impact Future Operating  Results and Market Price
of Stock

Xiox operates in a rapidly changing  environment that involves a number of risks
and  uncertainties,  some of which are beyond the  Company's  control and any of
which may have an adverse effect on the Company's business,  financial condition
and results of operations.  These uncertainties include, but are not limited to,
the Company's reliance on the sale of few products;  the Company's dependence on
the ability of its distribution  channels to market the Company's products;  the
fluctuations in the Company's  quarterly results and the effect of these results
on the  Company's  ability to maintain its listed status on the Nasdaq Small Cap
Market;  the ability of the Company's product  developers to design products and
software  that do not contain  defects and "bugs"  which  render the products or
software inoperable or susceptible to breakdown,  software viruses or "hacking";
and the outcome of any  litigation  the Company may be involved in. In addition,
the Company  typically  experiences  weaker  sales in the first  quarter of each
calendar year compared to sales for the last quarter of the previous year.
