Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

         WavePhore, Inc. including its wholly-owned subsidiaries, WavePhore,
Canada, Inc. and WavePhore Networks, Inc., is a developer and provider of
proprietary products and services for the low-cost, high speed distribution of
digital data via the existing worldwide television, radio and satellite
broadcast infrastructures. The year of 1995 marked a major transition in the
Company's evolution from a technology organization, principally a hardware and
network systems developer, to a fully integrated information solutions provider.
The Company had been in the development stage until the end of 1995. Effective
January 1, 1996, the Company discontinued the development stage.

         On January 25, 1995, the Company purchased all of the outstanding
common stock of BleuMont Telecom Inc. of Montreal, Canada. Subsequent to the
acquisition, BleuMont Telecom Inc. was renamed WavePhore Canada, Inc.
("WavePhore Canada"). WavePhore Canada is involved in the research, development
and marketing of products and services for the transmission of data by
television signal. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and,
accordingly, the operating results of WavePhore Canada have been included in the
consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The aggregate
purchase price of WavePhore Canada common stock was approximately $1.3 million,
consisting of $284,831 in cash (includes direct cost of acquisition) and the
issuance of 244,626 shares of the Company's common stock.

         During the second quarter of 1995, the Company entered into an
agreement with Intel Corporation ("Intel") whereby it agreed to develop data
broadcasting technology for Intel. The agreement provides, among other things,
for the Company to license to Intel certain of the Company's proprietary
technologies and Intel granting the Company certain rights with respect to the
sale and distribution of products incorporating such technologies. In addition,
under a separate agreement, Intel acquired the right to purchase up to 250,000
common shares of the Company by May of 1997. In connection with the agreements,
Intel made payments to the Company aggregating $500,000 in cash, and agreed to
pay other license fees and royalties to the Company.

         On December 29, 1995, the Company purchased all of the outstanding
common stock of WavePhore Networks, Inc. (formerly Mainstream Data, Inc.),
hereafter referred to as "WavePhore Networks". WavePhore Networks is a provider
of proprietary products and services for the distribution of digital data via
direct satellite links and local FM broadcast frequencies. In addition,
WavePhore Networks markets an information product known as Newscast. The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the operating
results of WavePhore Networks have been included in the consolidated financial
statements from the date of acquisition. The aggregate purchase price was
approximately $29.4 million, consisting of $20.1 million in cash and the
issuance of 747,029 shares of the Company's common stock.

         In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of September
13, 1996, the Company issued 500,000 Common Shares to Intel Corporation for
aggregate consideration of $4,000,000 and cancellation of a Stock Purchase
Warrant dated May 5, 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATION - THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

         Revenues. Revenues are derived from datacasting services and equipment
sales and Newscast(TM) services. Revenues for the three months and nine months
periods ended September 30, 1996 were $5,194,000 and $13,842,000, respectively
compared to $116,000 and $637,000, respectively for the comparable periods in
the prior year. The increase in revenues is the result of the increase in volume
in the datacasting services and Newscast businesses.

         Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues consists primarily of costs
associated with transmitting news services to customer sites and cost of
computer hardware and software sold to customers. The increase in cost of
revenues is due to the increased business volume.

         Product Development. Product development expenses were $989,000 and
$2,911,000 for the three months and nine months periods ended September 30,
1996, respectively compared to $782,000 and $2,934,000, respectively, for the
comparable periods in the prior year. The product development expenses consists
primarily of design, testing and support of the Company's existing and
developing hardware, software and services. The Company anticipates continuing
to make significant expenditures in product development as it develops new and
enhanced services and provides services to a growing customer base.

         Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses for the three and
nine months periods ended September 30, 1996 were $1,384,000 and $4,301,000,
respectively, compared to $300,000 and $1,254,000, respectively, for the
comparable periods of the prior year. The increase relates primarily to
additional sales personnel, increased travel, and advertising and promotional
costs.

         General and administrative. General and administrative expenses for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 were $1,232,000 and
$4,015,000, respectively, compared to $675,000 and $1,706,000, respectively, for
the comparable periods of the prior year. The increase relates primarily to the
acquisition of WavePhore Canada in January 1995 and WavePhore Networks in
December 1995.

         Charge for purchased research and development. The charge for purchased
research and development during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 relates
to the portion of the total cost to purchase WavePhore Canada common stock which
was allocated to research and development that was being conducted by WavePhore
Canada at the time of the purchase.

         Interest Expense. Interest expense increased during the three and nine
months periods ended September 30, 1996, compared to the same period of the
prior year, due to the average debt outstanding during the periods increasing in
1996 compared to 1995.

         Interest Income. Interest income increased during the three and nine
months periods ended September 30, 1996, compared to the same periods of the
prior year, due to the increase in cash and cash equivalents resulting from the
cash proceeds from the Company's stock offerings in 1995 and 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         During the nine months periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, the
Company used cash in its operations of $6,435,000 and $5,208,000, respectively.
Cash used in operations is less than the net losses primarily because of non
cash charges of depreciation and amortization and the charge for purchased
research and development. Cash flows used in investing activities was $
3,578,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, compared to cash used in
investing activities of $114,000 for the same period in the prior year. The
Company made $2,182,000 and $935,000 of purchases of treasury stock and property
and equipment, respectively, during the first nine months of 1996. For the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, the Company generated cash of $13,746,000 from
financing activities primarily from the issuance of preferred and common stock.
These sources of cash were offset by the payment of a preferred stock dividend
in the amount of $552,000.

         The Company estimates that its present financial resources will be
sufficient to fund operating activities including the company's accelerated
internal growth beyond 1996. The Company will continue to evaluate business
acquisitions and the development of strategic partnerships to help accelerate
its growth. The pace at which these acquisitions and strategic partnerships
occur will have an impact on the capital resources of the Company to the extent
they are funded with cash, or upon the dilution of existing shareholder
interests to the extent they are entered into for equity.

         Certain of the above statements may constitute forward looking
statements which may involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could
differ materially from such forward looking statements as a result of a variety
of factors, including, but not limited to, technology changes, competitive
developments and risk factors listed from time to time in the Company's SEC
filings.
