ITEM 11.     EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

BOARD REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

      The Company does not have a formal compensation committee.  Compensation
levels for executive officers are set by the Board of Directors.  The Board of
Directors is presently comprised of the following individuals:  Peter C.
Madsen, Thomas G. Amon, Edward R. Olson and Gary H. Davison.  Messrs. Davison
and Amon joined the Board only after the close of fiscal 1994.  Robert N.
Dennis resigned from the Board effective October 31, 1994.  Salaries are
reviewed annually and are based on individual performance, the extent of
individual responsibility and comparisons with salaries paid in the industry.

      The Company recruits for its executive officer positions from within the
communications industry.  In most instances, the source Company is
significantly larger than the Company.  It is the policy of the Board of
Directors of FastComm to hire executive officers at levels below that of their
current salaries along with a stock option package intended to make up for the
differentiation and to provide a performance incentive.  The Company feels that
stock options are an attractive benefit in that they enhance performance and
loyalty at little cost.

      The Board establishes compensation levels based on experience and
responsibility.  No executive officer has received a salary increase.

      The Board granted three executive officers options during fiscal 1994.
Two of the option grants were based on performance and responsibility.  The
third grant was a condition of employment.

      The Board adheres to a policy of granting options to executive officers
based upon performance and responsibility.  In addition, the Board also
considers the relative importance of the job function being performed and the
number of options currently held by the executive officer.

      In September 1992, Robert N. Dennis and Edward R. Olson, then
constituting the entire Board of Directors, established the level of
compensation to be paid to the President.  See "Employment and Control
Arrangements."  This compensation level was considered by the Board to be
reasonable, fair and equitable.  The compensation of the President has not been
revised since that time.

                    /s/ Edward R. Olson, /s/ Peter C. Madsen

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

      As of the close of the fiscal year ended April 30, 1994, the Board of
Directors of the Company was comprised of the two above-named persons and
Robert N. Dennis.  During the year, Peter C. Madsen and Robert N. Dennis,
President and Chairman, respectively, as directors participated in
deliberations of the Company's Board of Directors concerning executive officer
compensation, including their own.  Other than the foregoing, none of such
directors was party to any reportable interlock or participation during fiscal
1994.  During the fiscal year ended April 30, 1994, the Company sold
approximately $588,000 of product under normal terms and conditions to
Newbridge Networks, Inc. ("Networks") a United States subsidiary of Newbridge
Networks Corporation, a Canadian Telecommunications Company ("Newbridge").
Peter C. Madsen, President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the

EMPLOYMENT AND CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS

      Effective September 18, 1992 (the "Effective Date"), the Company, Mr.
Robert N. Dennis and Mr. Edward R. Olson, as the "Current Directors" therein,
and Mr. Peter C. Madsen entered into an employment agreement (the "Employment
Agreement") regarding the terms of Mr. Madsen's employment by the Company and
the scope of the relationships among the parties to the Employment Agreement.

      In particular, pursuant to or in connection with the Employment
Agreement, as the case may be, subject to confirmation by the Board of
Directors which occurred as of the Effective Date, (i) Mr. Dennis resigned as
President and from all executive offices held by him in the Company, (ii) Mr.
Madsen was elected President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company for an
initial term expiring on January 31, 1995 at an initial base salary of $100,000
per year, (iii) Mr. Madsen was granted an option to purchase a maximum of
425,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price of $1.09375
per share upon certain terms and conditions, (iv) Mr. Deslaurier was elected a
Vice President of the Company, (v) Mr. Deslaurier was granted an option to
purchase a maximum of 150,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company at an
exercise price of $1.09375 per share upon certain terms and conditions, (vi)
Mr. Rick Sampley was granted an option to purchase a maximum of 25,000 shares
of Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price of $1.09375 per share upon
certain terms and conditions, (vii) the Company and Mr. Dennis entered into an
Amended and Restated Employment Agreement providing for, among other things,
the employment of Mr. Dennis as Senior Advisor to the President at an initial
salary of $200,000 per year for an initial term of three years, subject to
earlier termination by Mr. Dennis at any time or by the Company, with or
without cause, on or after September 15, 1993, and (viii) Mr. Madsen and Mr.
Peter Sommerer were elected directors of the Company to fill two vacancies then
existing on the Board of Directors.  Mr. Dennis was paid $99,458 pursuant to
this arrangement in the 1994 fiscal year during which year he resigned as
Senior Advisor to the President.

      Under the Employment Agreement, Mr. Madsen has been granted full control
of and authority over the operations of the Company, subject to the general
oversight of the Board, and the Current Directors have agreed not to take any
action inconsistent with their respective obligations thereunder.  The
Employment Agreement and the related actions resulted in an effective change in
control of the Company away from Mr. Dennis to Mr. Madsen.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

      Directors receive no salary for their services as such; however, the
Board of Directors has authorized payment of reasonable expenses incurred by
non-employee directors in connection with attendance at meetings of the Board
of Directors.  The Chairman of the Board receives no compensation for serving
in such capacity.  In fiscal 1994, Mr. Dennis received 99,458 in compensation
as Senior Advisor to the President.  As Senior Advisor, Mr. Dennis' duties
included consultation with and advise to the President and other Senior
Management on technical





                                       60

and business matters related to past, present and future operations, products
and strategies and the undertaking of special projects related to the above at
the request of the President.

SHAREHOLDER RETURN PERFORMANCE GRAPH

      The following graph compares the yearly percentage change in the
cumulative total shareholder return on the Company's Common Stock with that of
the cumulative total return of the NASDAQ Stock Market - US Index ("NASDAQ
STOCK MRKT - US") and the NASDAQ Telecommunications Index ("NASDAQ TELECOM")
for the five year period ended on April 30, 1994.  The information below is
based on an investment of $100, on April 30, 1989, in the Company's Common
Stock, the NASDAQ STOCK MRKT - US and the NASDAQ TELECOM.  THE COMPANY'S
MANAGEMENT CONSISTENTLY CAUTIONS THAT THE STOCK PRICE PERFORMANCE SHOWN IN THE
GRAPH BELOW SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED INDICATIVE OF POTENTIAL FUTURE STOCK PRICE
PERFORMANCE.

ITEM 12.     SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.

      At July 15, 1994, there were 8,005,171 shares of Common Stock of the
Company issued and outstanding.  As of such date, options to purchase 1,189,785
shares of Common Stock were outstanding.

      Each holder of shares of Common Stock, but not holders of unexercised
options, is entitled to one vote per share on each matter which may be
presented at a meeting of shareholders.  Cumulative voting is not allowed.  The
Company's Common Stock is traded on the NASDAQ National Market System under the
symbol "FSCX."

      The following table sets forth information regarding ownership of Common
Stock of the Company at July 15, 1994, by each person who is known by
management of the Company to own beneficially more than five percent of the
Common Stock (setting forth the address of each such person), by each director
and nominee for election as a director, by the Named Executive Officers of the
Company identified beneath "Item 11.  Executive Compensation," and by all
directors and executive officers of the Company as a group.  Shares issuable on
exercise of warrants or options exercisable within 60 days are deemed to be
outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of persons
beneficially owning such warrants or options, but have not been deemed to be
outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other
person.  Insofar as is known to the Company, the persons indicated below have
sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares indicated as owned
by them except as otherwise stated in the notes to the table.

ITEM 13.     CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

      During the fiscal year ended April 30, 1994, the Company sold
approximately $588,000 of product under normal terms and conditions to
Newbridge Networks, Inc. ("Networks") a United States subsidiary of Newbridge
Networks Corporation, a Canadian Telecommunications Company ("Newbridge").
FastComm sells to Newbridge Networks Corporation under net 30 day terms with
prompt payment discounts.  Such terms are consistent with that of similar
customers.  Title passes on shipment of product.  Under the terms of the
contract, Newbridge may return purchased and paid for (during the previous six
month period) but unused products to FastComm for either warranty revalidation
and/or revision level change (hardware or firmware).  Peter C. Madsen,
President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company is also a
director of Newbridge.  In June 1994, the Company elected Gary H. Davison to
its Board of Directors and employed him as its Senior Vice President and Chief
Operating Officer.  Until he joined the Company, Mr. Davison was employed as
Vice President-U.S. Sales and Vice President-U.S. Public Network Systems
Networks.  Mr. Davison is currently engaged by Networks as an independent
consultant for a four month term through October 4, 1994, subject to extension
to November 4, 1994.  The engagement provides for Mr. Davison to assist
Networks with projects and tasks assigned to him including assistance in
development of master contract renewals for various carrier telephone company
customers.

   
      During the quarter ended July 31, 1993, the Company sold approximately
$247,000 of product to Texel Systems Corporation ("Texel") a private voice and
data communications equipment company located in Fairfax, Virginia.  This sale
was made under net 30 day terms with prompt payment discounts.  Such terms are
consistent with that of similar customers.  Texel is controlled by an
individual who is the brother-in-law of Peter C. Madsen, President, Chief
Executive Officer and a Director of FastComm Communications Corporation.  The
accounts receivable due from Texel was $247,000 at July 31, 1993.  Payment in
full from Texel was received by FastComm on October 27, 1993.  In September
1994 Texel sold this same product for approximately $247,000 to Professional
Marketing Corporation ("PMC"), a reseller of data communications equipment
located in Sterling, Virginia.  PMC is owned by Peter C. Madsen and Charles
Deslaurier, formerly Vice President Contracts Administration of the Company.
