NOTE 5 - Stockholders' Equity

On August 8, 1995 the Company issued 650,000 shares of its Common Stock
in a private placement to multiple investors for $6.26 per share; the net
proceeds from the sale were $4.1 million. The proceeds were used primarily
to fund the settlement of the Company's stockholder class action lawsuit. 
(See Note 6 for related discussion.)

NOTE 6 - Stockholder Litigation Settlement

In early August 1995, the Company made a payment totaling $3.6 million and the
Company's insurance carrier paid $3 million which the Company had recorded
in prepaid expenses and other assets at July 1, 1995, liquidating the July 1,
1995 $6.6 million stockholder litigation settlement accrual. On August 28,
1995, the federal court approved the settlement agreement.

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

The text of this document includes forward-looking statements which are 
subject to certain risks and uncertainties.  Actual results may differ 
materially from those described herein, depending on such factors as are 
described herein, including without limitation those described under "Certain 
Factors That May Affect The Company's Future Results Of Operations."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CURRENT QUARTER COMPARED TO PRIOR QUARTER AND PRIOR YEAR QUARTER

NET SALES. Net sales were $18.8 million for the quarter ended March 30, 
1996, an increase of $0.6 million, or 3%, from the quarter ended December 
30, 1995, and an increase of $2.8 million, or 18%, from the quarter ended 
April 1, 1995. International net sales represented 29% of net sales for 
the quarter ended March 30, 1996, compared to 24% for the quarter ended 
December 30, 1995, and 29% for the quarter ended April 1, 1995.

The results for the quarter ended March 30, 1996 are comprised of net sales of
$18.8 million from the Truevision product line, an increase of $0.6 million, 
or 3%, from the $18.2 million in the quarter ended December 30, 1995, and an 
increase of $7.0 million, or 59%, from the $11.8 million in the quarter ended 
April 1, 1995. The results for the quarter ended April 1, 1995 also included 
$4.2 million of net sales from the RasterOps product line. The Company did not 
receive any revenues from the RasterOps product line during the quarter ended 
March 30, 1996. The product mix change in terms of net sales dollars was due to 
a shift in the Company's product focus during fiscal 1995. During the latter 
part of the first quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company began to separate and 
analyze its product lines in terms of "Truevision" and "RasterOps" products. 
The Truevision product line consists of all video and Original Equipment 
Manufacturer (OEM) products, while the RasterOps product line consists of 
Macintosh and PC graphics acceleration cards and monitors. At that time, the 
Company elected to terminate its entire PC graphics product line, reduce its 
dependency upon monitor sales and focus its future on its higher-margin 
Truevision (desktop digital video) product line.

The following table compares Truevision and RasterOps product line net sales 
for the quarters ended March 30, 1996, December 30, 1995 and April 1, 1995:

</TABLE>

Sales of the Truevision product line to the retail channel during the quarter 
ended March 30, 1996 were $9.4 million, or 50%, of net sales, compared to 
$7.8 million, or 43%, for the quarter ended December 30, 1995, and $7.2 
million, or 45%, for the quarter ended April 1, 1995. The increase in the 
retail business was attributable primarily to an increase in units sold of 
the TARGA 2000 product family.

                                       8

Truevision's non-OEM customers generally place orders on an "as-needed" basis 
and, as a result, backlog at the beginning of each quarter represents only a 
portion of the product sales anticipated in that quarter. Quarterly net sales 
and operating results therefore depend on the volume and timing of bookings 
received during a quarter, which are difficult to forecast. The absence of 
significant backlog also limits the Company's ability to predict appropriate 
production and inventory levels, which has had and could have in the future 
an adverse effect on operating results. Truevision's results of operations 
may fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to these and other factors, such as 
announcements by Truevision, its competitors or the manufacturers of the 
platforms which Truevision's products are used.

During fiscal 1995, the Company negotiated a three-year OEM agreement with 
Avid Technology, Inc. ("Avid") which accounted for 41% of net sales for the 
quarter ended March 30, 1996. During the quarters ended December 30, 1995 and 
April 1, 1995, Avid accounted for 42% and 13%, respectively, of the Company's 
net sales. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company's sales to Avid 
are expected to decrease. However, the Company believes it should be able to 
offset this loss of revenue through growth in its retail channel. In 
addition, the Company's agreement with Avid provides that Avid has the right 
to manufacture certain products upon payment of a royalty, rather than 
purchasing it from the Company. Avid has informed the Company that it intends 
to exercise that right in the near future. This decision will have a negative 
impact on the Company's net sales in future periods. However, because of 
royalty payments, the gross margins from sales to Avid could increase.

Net sales for the quarter ended March 30, 1996 included $0.5 million of 
royalties from a product license agreement and engineering services revenue 
from a product design and development agreement. Net sales for the quarter 
ended December 30, 1995 included $250 thousand of engineering services 
revenue from a product design and development agreement.

GROSS PROFIT.  The Company had a gross profit of $7.4 million, or 39.4% of 
net sales during the quarter ended March 30, 1996, compared to a gross profit 
of $7.0 million, or 38.5% of net sales in the quarter ended December 30, 
1995, and a gross profit of $5.5 million, or 34.4% of net sales for the 
quarter ended April 1, 1995. The increase in gross profit was mainly due to 
inclusion of a higher percentage of video graphics products that carry higher 
gross margins than the monitor and Macintosh graphics acceleration products 
in net sales for the quarters in fiscal year 1996. The Company also realized
cost reductions in its components costs in the quarter ended March 30, 1996.
There can be no assurance that components costs will decrease further or even
remain at the current level in the future.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES.  Research and development expenses were 
approximately 10% of net sales for the quarters ended March 30, 1996 and 
December 30, 1995, and approximately 11% of net sales for the quarter ended 
April 1, 1995. In the absence of unusual circumstances or events, the Company 
expects that research and development spending as a percentage of net sales 
will remain relatively constant through the remainder of fiscal 1996.

The Company believes that continued investment in research and development is 
critical to its future growth and competitive position in its market for 
broadcast video and color imaging systems and is directly related to timely 
development of new and enhanced products. The Company, therefore, may 
experience increased 

                                       9

<PAGE>

research and development spending in future periods. Because of the inherent 
uncertainty of development projects, there can be no assurance that increased 
research and development efforts will result in successful product 
introductions or enable to maintain or increase sales. 

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and 
administrative expenses were approximately 23% of net sales for the quarters 
ended March 30, 1996 and December 30, 1995, and approximately 26% for the 
quarter ended April 1, 1995. In the absence of unusual circumstances or 
events, the Company expects that selling, general and administrative spending 
as a percentage of net sales will remain relatively constant through the 
remainder of fiscal 1996.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET.  Other expense for the quarters ended March 30, 
1996 and December 30, 1995 is comprised primarily of residual expenses 
associated with the RasterOps product line. These expenses are expected to be 
completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996. 

CURRENT NINE-MONTH PERIOD COMPARED TO PRIOR YEAR NINE-MONTH PERIOD

NET SALES.  Net sales were $54.0 million for the nine-month period ended 
March 30, 1996, an increase of $4.0 million, or 8%, from the nine-month 
period ended April 1, 1995. International net sales represented 25% of net
sales for the nine-month period ended March 30, 1996, compared to 26% for the
nine-month period ended April 1, 1995.

The results for the nine-months ended March 30, 1996 are comprised of net 
sales of $53.1 million from the Truevision product line and $0.9 million from 
the RasterOps product line. This compares with $31.0 million of Truevision 
net sales and $19.0 million of RasterOps net sales in the nine-month period 
ended April 1, 1995. The product mix change in terms of net sales dollars was 
due to a shift in the Company's product focus during fiscal 1995. During the 
latter part of the first quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company began to separate 
and analyze its product lines in terms of "Truevision" and "RasterOps" 
products as discussed above.

The following table compares Truevision and RasterOps product line net sales 
for the nine-months ended March 30, 1996 and April 1, 1995:

Sales of the Truevision product line to the retail channel during the 
nine-month period ended March 30, 1996 were $23.7 million, or 44% of net 
sales, compared to $19.7 million, or 39% for the nine-month period

ended April 1, 1995. The increase in the retail business was attributable 
primarily to an increase in units sold of the TARGA 2000 product family.

During fiscal 1995, the Company negotiated a three-year OEM agreement with 
Avid which accounted for 42% of net sales for the nine-month period ended 
March 30, 1996, compared to 11% for the nine-month period ended April 1, 
1995. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company's sales to Avid are 
expected to decrease. However, the Company believes it should be able to 
offset this loss of revenue through growth in its retail channel. In 
addition, the Company's agreement with Avid provides that Avid has the right 
to manufacture certain products upon payment of a royalty, rather than 
purchasing it from the Company. Avid has informed the Company that it intends 
to exercise that right in the near future. This decision will have a negative 
impact on the Company's net sales in future periods. However, because of 
royalty payments, the gross margins from sales to Avid could increase. 

Net sales for the nine-month periods ended March 30, 1996 and April 1, 1995 
included $1.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of royalties from a 
product license agreement and engineering services revenue from a product 
design and development agreement.

GROSS PROFIT.  The Company had a gross profit of $20.6 million, or 38.1% of 
net sales during the nine-month period ended March 30, 1996, compared to a 
gross profit of $8.8 million, or 17.6% of net sales for the nine-month 
period ended April 1, 1995. In the quarter ended September 30, 1994, the 
Company recorded additional inventory reserves of $6.0 million (excluding the 
$1.9 million included in restructuring costs) to reduce inventory to its 
estimated net realizable values to reflect management's current plans and 
market expectations. The Company's gross margins have improved as the Company 
shifted its focus to developing, manufacturing and selling more high-margin 
desktop video products and at the same time exiting the low-margin monitor 
business. The Company also realized cost reductions in its components costs
in the quarter ended March 30, 1996. There can be no assurance that components
costs will decrease further or even remain at the current level in the future.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES.  For the nine-month periods ended March 
30, 1996 and April 1, 1995, research and development expenses were 
approximately 10% of net sales. In the absence of unusual circumstances or 
events, the Company expects that research and development spending as a 
percentage of net sales will remain relatively constant through the remainder
of fiscal 1996.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and 
administrative expense decreased $4.0 million, or 24%, to $12.5 million for 
the nine-month period ended March 30, 1996, compared to $16.5 million for the 
nine-month period ended April 1, 1995. As a percentage of net sales, selling, 
general and administrative expense decreased to 23% in the nine-month period 
ended March 30, 1996, compared with 33% for the nine-month period ended April 
1, 1995. The decrease was primarily due to increased expenses in the 
nine-month period ended April 1, 1995 due to: (1) increased reserves for bad 
debts attributable to two of the Company's foreign distributors; (2) lease 
terminations; and (3) legal fees.  Additionally, the Company instituted 
ongoing efforts for reducing the Company's overhead costs after the first 
quarter of fiscal 1995. In the absence of unusual circumstances or events, 
the Company expects that selling, general and administrative spending as a 
percentage of net sales will remain relatively constant through the remainder
of fiscal 1996. 

                                      11

<PAGE>

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET.  Other expense for the nine-month period ended 
March 30, 1996 is comprised primarily of residual expenses associated with 
the old RasterOps product line. These expenses are expected to be completed 
by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996. 

RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES RECORDED IN THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994

During the quarter ended September 30, 1994, the Company recorded a charge 
for restructuring and other costs of $3.7 million. Late in the quarter ended 
September 30, 1994, the Company decided to terminate the production of its 
entire PC graphics product line which consisted of a variety of graphics 
acceleration cards. The Company established a reserve in the amount of $1.9 
million to reduce the related inventory to net realizable value, and during 
the quarter ended December 31, 1994, adjusted the reserve downward by $1.5 
million for sales of related products. The Company believes that the 
remaining inventory is adequately reserved. Due to the discontinuance of 
these products, the Company recorded additional charges aggregating $383,000 
for prepaid royalties no longer having economic value and cancellation 
charges on inventory purchase commitments. Also included in the restructuring 
charge were costs aggregating $1.2 million associated with downsizing the 
Company's worldwide operations, including lease termination for offices 
located in California, Indiana, Germany, France, United Kingdom and Japan and 
employee severance. These lease terminations reduced facilities and 
amortization expenses by $149,000 during the remainder of fiscal 1995. The 
reserve for employee severance has been fully utilized. The Company has 
completed its restructuring activities and has no remaining restructuring 
reserve balance as of March 30, 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 30, 1996, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7.6 
million, an increase of $1.3 million from the $6.3 million at December 30, 
1995 and a decrease of $2.8 million from the $10.4 million at July 1, 1995. 
Working capital increased to $21.7 million at March 30, 1996 from the $14.2 
million at July 1, 1995. During the nine-month period ended March 30, 1996, 
net cash used in operating activities was $6.5 million, compared to $4.1 
million during the nine-month period ended April 1, 1995. The increase in 
cash used in operating activities was due primarily to the Company's 
settlement payment of $3.6 million made in August 1995 related to the 
stockholder class action lawsuit and an increase of accounts receivable due 
to increased revenues.

The Company spent approximately $0.9 million and $0.4 million for new 
equipment during the nine-month periods ended March 30, 1996 and April 1, 
1995, respectively. Additionally, the Company acquired new equipment under 
capital leases totaling $0.6 million in the nine-month period ended March 30, 
1996. The Company has no material commitments for the purchase of capital 
equipment.

Substantially all of the Company's sales are made directly to OEMs, 
distributors, value added resellers (VARs), authorized independent dealers 
and retail chains. While the Company intends to continue its policy of 
careful inventory and receivables management, it believes that in the future 
somewhat greater levels of inventory and receivables relative to sales may be 
needed to serve its distribution channels. 

                                      12

<PAGE>

The Company satisfied its cash requirements for the nine-month period ended 
March 30, 1996 primarily from its beginning balance of $10.4 million, funds 
generated from the issuance of the Company's common stock in August 1995 and 
proceeds from sale under employee stock purchase plan and stock options 
exercised, and cash generated from operations (i.e., net income plus noncash 
transactions affecting net income). For the nine-month period ended April 1, 
1995, the Company's cash requirements were satisfied primarily from its 
beginning balance of $8.3 million and cash generated from operations. The 
Company has a bank line of credit agreement allowing it to borrow up to $7 
million based upon percentages of eligible accounts receivable. As of March 
30, 1996, the Company had borrowings of $2.0 million under the bank line of 
credit and guarantees through issuance of letters of credit to suppliers of 
$1.3 million. 

The Company believes that its current cash and cash generated from operations 
together with its existing credit facilities will be sufficient to meet the 
Company's cash requirements for at least the next twelve months at its 
current level of operations, but may not be sufficient to allow for the most 
efficient mode of operation or allow for unrestricted growth. 

The Company believes that success in its industry requires substantial 
capital in order to maintain the flexibility to take advantage of 
opportunities as they may arise. The Company may, from time to time, as 
market and business conditions warrant, invest in or acquire complementary 
businesses, products or technologies. The Company may effect additional 
equity or debt financings to fund such activities. The sale of additional 
equity or convertible debt securities could result in additional dilution in 
the equity ownership of the Company's stockholders.

CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT THE COMPANY'S FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SUBSTANTIAL RECENT OPERATING LOSSES

From fiscal 1992 to 1993, the Company's net sales declined by $21.7 million, 
or 18%; from fiscal 1993 to 1994, the Company's net sales declined by $20.8 
million, or 21%; and from fiscal 1994 to 1995, the Company's net sales declined
by $12.9 million, or 16%. In addition, the Company experienced significant 
operating losses during such periods. There can be no assurance that future 
net sales will not decline, or that the Company will not experience 
significant operating losses in the future. Since inception and as of March 
30, 1996, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $26.7 million. The 
Company believes that continued investment in its business, particularly 
research and development, is critical to its future growth and competitive 
position. The Company, therefore, may experience increased operating expenses 
both as a total amount and in relation to revenue levels, and in particular, 
increased relative levels of research and development expenses in future 
periods. There can be no assurance that such research and development and 
other efforts will result in successful product introductions or enable the 
Company to maintain or increase net sales, and there can be no assurance that 
the Company will operate profitably.

SIGNIFICANT VOLATILITY IN OPERATING RESULTS

In the past, the Company has experienced significant fluctuations in its 
quarterly operating results, and it anticipates that such fluctuations will 
continue and could intensify in the future. Fluctuations in operating results 
may result in volatility in the price of the Company's common stock. 
Operating results may fluctuate 

                                      13

<PAGE>

as a result of many factors, including announcements by the Company, its 
competitors or the manufacturers of the platforms with which its products are 
used, volume and timing of orders received during the period, the timing of 
new product introductions by the Company and its competitors, product line 
maturation, the impact of price competition of the Company's average selling 
prices, the availability and pricing of components for the Company's 
products, changes in product or distribution channel mix and product returns 
or price protection charges from customers. Many of these factors are beyond 
the Company's control. In addition, due to the short product life cycles that 
characterize the Company's markets, the Company's failure to introduce new, 
competitive products consistently and in a timely manner would adversely 
affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations 
for one or more product cycles.

The volume and timing of orders received during a quarter are difficult to 
forecast. The Company's retail and distribution customers generally place 
orders on an "as-needed" basis and, as a result, backlog at the beginning of
each quarter represents only a small percentage of the product sales 
anticipated in that quarter for those customers. Quarterly net sales and 
operating results therefore depend on the volume and timing of bookings 
received during a quarter, which are difficult to forecast. As a result, a 
shortfall in sales in any quarter in comparison to expectations may not be 
identifiable until the end of the quarter. In addition, in large part due to 
delays in receipt of component supplies, release of new products which 
introduce manufacturing delays, and the timing of orders received from 
certain customers, the Company has in the past recorded a substantial portion 
of its net sales in the last weeks of the quarter. Notwithstanding the 
difficulty in forecasting future sales, the Company generally must plan 
production, order components and undertake its development, sales and 
marketing activities and other commitments months in advance. Accordingly, 
any shortfall in net sales in a given quarter may disproportionately impact 
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations due to 
an inability to adjust expenses or inventory during the quarter to match the 
level of sales for the quarter. Excess inventory could also result in cash 
flow difficulties as well as expenses associated with inventory write-offs.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS

The Company is subject to significant manufacturing risks. A significant part 
of the Company's RasterOps product line was monitors that were acquired fully 
assembled from the Company's suppliers and that had relatively high unit
prices. Truevision products are primarily complex board level products, which 
require significantly more sophisticated manufacturing technologies and 
operations. Furthermore, the Company has recently introduced several new, 
complex board level products. The manufacture of increasingly complex products
places a substantial strain on the Company's manufacturing operations,
and the Company has in the past experienced delays in product shipments in
connection with these factors. The Company's future operating results will
depend in part on its ability to rapidly and cost-effectively ramp
manufacturing of complex new and existing board products. Any delays or 
dislocations in this process could have a material adverse effect on the 
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

DISCONTINUANCE OF RASTEROPS GRAPHICS PRODUCTS; INCREASING DEPENDENCE ON 
TRUEVISION VIDEO GRAPHICS PRODUCTS

In the past, the Company derived a significant majority of its net sales from 
sales of the RasterOps color graphics products, including monitors for the 
Apple Macintosh computer platform. In the years ended June 30, 1994 and July 
1, 1995, sales of the RasterOps product line accounted for $46.1 million, or 
58%, of net sales and $21.0 million, or 32%, of net sales, respectively. In 
particular, the Company's RasterOps monitor business contributed $30.4 
million and $13.7 million to the Company's net sales in fiscal 1994 and 

                                      14

<PAGE>

1995, respectively. This shift in contribution resulted in part from a 
reduction in demand for RasterOps products due primarily to intensified 
competition, particularly late in the first quarter of fiscal 1995, and Apple 
Computer Inc.'s ("Apple") integration of graphics acceleration features into 
its Macintosh computers. In addition, the RasterOps monitor business was 
receiving increased competition with the entry of large competitors such as 
Apple and Sony Corporation into the market for computer monitors. As a result 
of the increased competition and declining profit margins for the RasterOps 
product line, the Company decided to eliminate several RasterOps products 
(including its monitor products) and to shift its focus from the RasterOps 
product line to the Truevision product line. The accumulated charges 
associated with the Company's restructuring aggregated $10.1 million in 
fiscal 1995 and 1994. In light of the decline in sales of the RasterOps 
product line, the Company's future operating results will substantially 
depend on sales of the Truevision product line. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be successful in maintaining or increasing sales of the 
Truevision product line.

DEPENDENCE ON EMERGING MARKET

The market for digital desktop video authoring products is an emerging one, 
and the size and timing of its development are subject to substantial 
uncertainties and are outside the control of the Company. There can be no 
assurance of the rate that applications requiring development of new video 
content, if any, will develop or of the rate, if at all, at which digital, 
open-system, desktop solutions for video authoring will achieve market 
acceptance. Additionally, there can be no assurance that third party software
application developers which are necessary to implement the Company's open 
systems approach will be successful in developing and bringing to market 
applications that will gain market acceptance. If the market for digital 
desktop video authoring products were to fail to develop, or were to develop 
more slowly that anticipated, the Company's business, financial condition and 
results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE; NEED FOR MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF DVR ARCHITECTURE

The personal computer and workstation industry and the related computer 
imaging market are characterized by intense competition, rapidly changing 
technology and evolving industry standards, often resulting in short product 
life cycles and rapid price declines. Accordingly, the Company's success is 
highly dependent on its ability to develop, introduce to the marketplace in a 
timely manner and sell complex new products. In this respect, the Company has 
recently introduced and plans to introduce additional new versions of its 

                                      15

<PAGE>

TARGA 2000 product for the PCI bus.  The Company has in the  past experienced 
some delays in product introductions due to longer than anticipated 
development and the time required to obtain necessary components, as well as 
delays in market acceptance. If the Company were to experience similar delays 
in the future, with respect to its PCI bus product or otherwise, the 
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations could be 
materially adversely affected.

The Company's most recent introductions in the Truevision product line, 
including the TARGA 2000, are based on the Company's DVR architecture, and it 
is expected that any new Truevision products introduced in the foreseeable 
future will also be based on the DVR architecture. The DVR architecture is a 
new technology that has not yet achieved widespread commercial acceptance, 
and there can be no assurance that it will do so in the future. Failure of 
the DVR architecture to achieve widespread commercial acceptance would have a 
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and 
results of operations.

DEPENDENCE ON SOLE AND LIMITED SOURCE SUPPLIERS AND SUBCONTRACTORS

Certain components used in the Company's products are currently available 
only from a single source, and others are available from only a limited 
number of sources. In particular, the Company's "hub" chips that are the 
basis of the most recent generation of Truevision products are available only 
from LSI Logic Corporation and are subject to substantial lead times, and 
other components (particularly certain ASICs) are also available only from 
single sources such as LSI Logic Corporation and Toshiba Corporation. In the 
past, the Company has experienced delays in the receipt of certain of its key 
components and discontinuations of certain components, which have resulted in 
delays in product deliveries. In particular, delays in receipt of certain 
components interfered with the Company's ability to ship certain products in 
the quarter ended April 1, 1995, and had a material adverse effect on the 
Company's results of operations for that quarter. There can be no assurance 
that delays in the receipt of key components and product deliveries will not 
recur in the future or that these vendors will continue to supply the 
Company. The inability to obtain sufficient key components as required, or to 
develop alternative sources if and as required in the future, could result in 
delays or reductions in product shipments to the Company's customers. Any 
such delays or reductions could have a material adverse effect on the 
Company's reputation and customer relationships which could, in turn have a 
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and 
results of operations. In addition, shortages of raw materials or production 
capacity constraints at the  Company's subcontractors or suppliers could 
negatively affect the Company's ability to meet its production obligations 
and result in increased prices for components. Any such reduction may result 
in delays in shipments of the Company's products or increase the prices of 
components, either of which could have a material adverse effect on the 
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

For the assembly of its products, the Company relies primarily on 
subcontractors who use components purchased, tested and kitted by the 
Company. The Company has in the past experienced interruptions in these 
services and delays in product deliveries, which have in certain cases has a 
material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations for particular 
periods, and there can be no assurance that such problems will not recur in 
the future. The process of qualifying additional subcontractors is a lengthy 
one, and the inability of any of the Company's subcontractors to provide the 
Company with these services in a timely fashion could have a material adverse 
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of 
operations until such time as alternate sources of such services are 
established and the quality of such services reaches an acceptable level.

                                      16

FUTURE CAPITAL NEEDS UNCERTAIN

The Company's future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, 
including the extent and timing of the introduction of the Company's products 
in the market, the progress of the Company's research and development, the 
Company's operating results and the status of competitive products. The 
Company anticipates that its existing capital resources and cash generated 
from operations, if any, will be sufficient to meet the Company's cash 
requirements for at least the next twelve months at its current level of 
operations, but may not be sufficient to allow for the most efficient mode of 
operation or allow for unrestricted growth. The Company's actual capital 
needs are difficult to predict, however, and there can be no assurance that 
the Company will not require additional capital prior to such time. In 
particular, it is likely that the Company will seek additional funding during 
the next twelve months to finance working capital. There can be no assurance 
that additional financing will be available to the Company on acceptable 
terms, or at all, when required. Shortages of working capital may cause 
delays in the Company's ability to timely obtain adequate supplies of 
components or sub-contracted services. The Company has in the past 
experienced, and may continue to experience, difficulties and delays in 
obtaining certain components and services on a timely basis due to working 
capital constraints. Any such difficulties or delays could have a material 
adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. Moreover, 
if additional financing was not available, the Company could be required to 
restrict, reduce, or suspend its operations, seek a merger partner or sell 
securities on terms that are highly dilutive or otherwise disadvantageous to 
the Company's current stockholders. In this respect, the Company elected in 
both the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 and the first quarter of fiscal 1996 
to raise capital through private placements of equity securities at prices 
less that fair market value on the date of the issuance. If adequate 
financing sources are insufficient or not available, the Company's business, 
financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely 
affected.

The Company has a line of credit with a commercial bank that includes 
financial and other covenants that must be satisfied for borrowings to be 
permitted and that limits borrowing to percentages of accounts receivable and 
inventories. The more significant financial covenants of the current line of 
credit are profitability, tangible net worth and debt to tangible net worth 
covenants. The Company has within the last twelve months been in violation of 
certain of the covenants, with respect to which waivers had been obtained. 
Specifically, the Company was in violation of the quick ratio, tangible net 
worth, debt to tangible net worth and profitability covenants as well as a 
non financial covenant of its previous line of credit. Since the end of June 
1995, the Company has not been in violation of any of its financial 
covenants. Although the Company is currently in compliance with the bank 
agreement, there can be no assurance that waivers would be granted in the 
future if necessary. If the Company were unable to access the line of credit 
as required, its business, financial position and results of operations could 
be materially adversely affected.

COMPETITION

The Company's markets are intensely competitive, and the Company expects this 
competition to continue to increase. The Company has experienced continued 
competitive pricing pressures on its product lines, and the Company expects 
that these pricing pressures will continue. To the extent that competitive 
pressures require price reductions more rapidly than the Company is able to 
cut its costs, the Company's gross margins and results of operations will be 
adversely affected. Many of the Company's competitors are well established, 
have substantial name recognition and have greater financial, technological, 
production and 

                                      17

<PAGE>

sales and marketing resources than the Company. In addition to products 
currently in production by such competitors, the Company expects that 
additional competitive products will be developed and that new companies will 
enter its market, both of which will continue to increase competition. There 
can be no assurance that products or technologies developed by others will 
not render the Company's products or technologies noncompetitive or obsolete. 
The Company believes that its ability to compete depends on elements both 
within and outside its control, including the success and timing of new 
product development by the Company and its competitors, product performance 
and price, distribution and general economic conditions or by a downturn in 
the demand for personal computers or workstations. There can be no assurance 
that the Company will be able to compete successfully with respect to these 
or other factors, and the Company's results of operations may fluctuate from 
quarter to quarter due to these and other factors.

DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL; RECENT MANAGEMENT CHANGES

The Company's future success substantially depends on the efforts of certain 
of its officers and key technical and other employees, many of whom have only 
recently joined the Company. In particular, the Company's Chief Executive 
Officer was hired in October 1994, and since that date, the Company has hired 
several new executive officers. The loss of any one of these officers or 
employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, 
financial condition and results of operations. The Company believes that its 
future success also substantially depends on its ability to attract, retain 
and motivate highly skilled employees, who are in great demand. There can be 
no assurance that the Company will be successful in doing so.

SHORT PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES

The market in which the Company operates is increasingly being characterized 
by frequent new product introductions, which results in short product life 
cycles. The Company must continually monitor industry trends and make 
difficult choices in selecting new technologies and features to incorporate 
into its products. Each new product cycle presents new opportunities for 
current or prospective competitors of the Company to gain market share. If 
the Company does not successfully introduce new products on a timely basis 
within a given product cycle, the Company's sales will be adversely affected 
for that cycle and possibly subsequent cycles. Moreover, because of the 
possibility of short product life cycles coupled with long lead times for 
many components used in the Company's products, the Company may not be able 
to quickly reduce its production or inventory levels in response to 
unexpected shortfalls in sales or, conversely, to increase production in 
response to unexpected demand.

As is customary for high technology companies, sales of individual products 
can often be characterized by steep declines in sales, pricing and margins 
toward the end of the respective product's life cycle, the precise timing of 
which may be difficult to predict. As new products are planned and 
introduced, the Company attempts to monitor closely the inventory of older 
products and to phase out their manufacture in a controlled manner. 
Nevertheless, the Company has in the past experienced and could in the future 
experience unexpected reductions in sales of older generation products as 
customers anticipate new products. These reductions have resulted in and 
could in the future give rise to additional charges for obsolete or excess 
inventory, returns of older generation products by distributors, or 
substantial price protection charges. For example, to the extent that the 
Company is unsuccessful in managing product transitions, its business and 
operating results could be materially adversely affected.

DEPENDENCE ON AVID AND OTHER KEY CUSTOMERS

During the fiscal 1996 quarters ended March 30, 1996, December 30, 1995 and 
September 30, 1995, Avid  accounted for 41%, 42% and 42%, respectively, of 
the Company's net sales. During the quarter and fiscal year ended July 1, 
1995, Avid accounted for 29% and 16%, respectively, of the Company's net 
sales. The Company's operating results have depended increasingly upon its 
ability to obtain orders from, maintain relationships with and provide 
support to Avid and other key customers, and this dependence on these key 
customers as a group could increase in the future.  In addition,  Avid or 
other key customers could design their own products competitive with those of
the Company. Any cancellation of, or reduction or delay in, orders from Avid 
or other customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's 
business and results of operations. In any event, the agreement with Avid 
will expire by its terms in calendar 1997. In addition, the Company's 
agreement with Avid provides that Avid has the right to manufacture products 
upon payment of a royalty, rather than purchasing it from the Company. Avid 
has informed the Company that it intends to exercise that right in the near 
future. This decision will have a negative impact on the Company's net sales 
in future periods. However, because of royalty payments, the gross margins 
from sales to Avid could increase.

RELATIONSHIP WITH SYSTEM SOFTWARE VENDORS

The success of the Company's open systems, desktop strategy is substantially 
dependent on its ability to maintain product compatibility and informal 
relationships with system software vendors such as Microsoft and Apple. If 
the Company's relationship with either Microsoft or Apple were to 
deteriorate, its business and results operations could be materially 
adversely affected.

UNCERTAINTY REGARDING PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

The Company attempts to protect its intellectual property rights through 
patents, trademarks, trade secrets and a variety of other measures. There can 
be no assurance, however, that such measures will provide adequate protection 
for the Company's intellectual property, that the Company's trade secrets or 
proprietary technology will not otherwise become known or become 
independently developed by competitors or that the Company can otherwise 
meaningfully protect its intellectual property rights. There can be no 
assurance that any patent owned by the Company will not be invalidated, that 
any rights granted thereunder will provide competitive advantages to the 
Company or that any of the Company's pending or future patent applications 
will be issued with the scope of the claim sought by the Company, if at all. 
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not develop similar 
products, duplicate the Company's products or design around the patents owned 
by the Company or that third parties will not assert intellectual property 
infringement claims against the Company. The failure of the Company to 
protect its proprietary rights could have a material adverse effect on its 
business, financial condition and results of operations.

Litigation may be necessary to protect the Company's intellectual property 
rights and trade secrets, to determine the validity of and scope of the 
proprietary rights of others or to defend against claims of infringement or 
invalidity. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion 
of management resources and could have a material adverse effect on the 
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. From time 
to time in the past the Company has received communications from third 
parties alleging that the Company may be in violation of such third parties' 
intellectual property rights, and

                                      19

there can be no assurance that such claims, or claims for indemnification 
resulting from infringement claims against others, will not be asserted in 
the future. If any such claims or actions are asserted against the Company, 
the Company may seek to obtain a license under a third parties' intellectual 
property rights. There can be no assurance, however, that a license would be 
obtainable on reasonable terms or at all. In addition, should the Company be 
required to litigate any such claims, such litigation could be extremely 
expensive and time consuming and could materially adversely affect the 
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations, regardless 
of the outcome of the litigation.

INTEGRATION OF PRODUCT FUNCTIONALITY BY MOTHERBOARD MANUFACTURERS

In general, the Company's products are individual add-in subsystems which 
function  with  computer  systems  to  provide  additional functionality. 
Historically, as a given functionality becomes technologically stable and 
widely accepted by users, the cost of providing the functionality is 
typically reduced by means of large scale integration onto semiconductor 
chips which are then incorporated onto motherboards. The Company has 
experienced such integration and incorporation with respect to its Truevision 
branded products and expects that it will continue to occur with respect to 
the functionality provided by the Company's products. The Company's success 
will remain dependent, in part, on its ability to continue to develop 
products which incorporate new and rapidly evolving technologies that 
computer makers have not yet fully incorporated into motherboards.

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 1994 and July 1, 1995 and the nine-month 
period ended March 30, 1996, international sales represented 31%, 30% and 
25%, respectively, of the Company's net sales. The Company expects that 
international sales will continue to represent a significant portion of total 
net sales. Although the Company's sales are denominated in dollars, its 
international business may be affected by changes in demand resulting from 
fluctuations in exchange rates as well as by risks such as unexpected changes 
in regulatory requirements, tariffs and other trade barriers, costs and risks 
of localizing products for foreign countries, longer accounts receivable 
payment cycles, difficulties in managing international distributors, 
potentially adverse tax consequences, repatriation of earnings and the 
burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws. In addition, the 
laws of certain foreign countries do not protect the Company's intellectual 
property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States.

VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICES

The market price of the Company's Common Stock has been volatile and trading 
volumes at times have been relatively low. Factors such as variations in the 
Company's net sales, operating  results and cash flows and announcements 
technological innovations or price reductions by the Company, its 
competitors, or providers of alternative products could cause the market 
price of the Company's Common Stock to fluctuate substantially. In addition, 
the stock markets have experienced significant  price and volume fluctuations 
that particularly have affected technology-based companies and resulted in 
changes in the market prices of the stocks of many companies that have not 
been directly related to the operating performance of those companies. Such 
broad market fluctuations and general economic conditions may adversely 
affect the market price of the Company's Common Stock.
