              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The consolidated financial statements of FOCUS Enhancements, Inc. ("the
Company") as of March 31, 1996 and for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
1995 are  unaudited  and  should be read in  conjunction  with the  consolidated
financial  statements  and notes  thereto for the year ended  December  31, 1995
included  in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form  10-KSB  for the year  ended
December 31, 1995.  In the opinion of  management,  the  consolidated  financial
statements  include  all  adjustments   (consisting  only  of  normal  recurring
adjustments)  necessary  for a fair  presentation  of the results of the interim
periods. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be expected for any future
period.

2.       NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

         Per share amounts are calculated  using the weighted  average number of
common shares and common share  equivalents  outstanding  during  periods of net
income.  Common share  equivalents are attributable to unexercised stock options
and warrants and are computed using the treasury stock method. Per share amounts
are  calculated  using  only  the  weighted  average  number  of  common  shares
outstanding during periods of net loss.

3.       NOTE RECEIVABLE

         On January 5, 1996, an officer of the Company  borrowed $40,000 under a
promissory  note,  bearing  interest  at 8.5% per annum  and due not later  than
January  5,  1997.  At March 31,  1996,  the  balance is  included  in  accounts
receivable.

5.       NOTES PAYABLE

         The  Company  maintains  a line of  credit  with a bank  which  permits
borrowings up to $1,000,000.  Borrowings under the line of credit are payable on
demand  and are  collateralized  by all of the assets of the  Company  except as
noted below.  Borrowings aggregating $910,000 at March 31, 1996 bear interest at
the bank's prime rate plus 1% and are personally guaranteed by an investor.  The
line of  credit  expired  on  April  6,  1996,  and  the  Company  is  currently
negotiating with the lender to extend the due date of the line of credit.

         In October  1994,  the Company  borrowed  $2,500,000  from an unrelated
individual  under a term line of credit note (the "term  note") due  February 1,
1996. The term note accrues interest at

                                      -6-

the prime rate plus 2%, payable  quarterly in arrears,  and is collateralized by
the inventory,  accounts receivable and contract rights related to the Company's
business with Apple Computer, Inc. The Company is currently negotiating with the
lender to extend the due date of the term note to March 31,  1997 or convert the
term note into equity.  In January 1996,  the Company  repaid  $1,000,000 of the
amount owed under the term note. At March 31, 1996, the Company owed  $1,500,000
to the lender under the term note.

6.       SUPPLEMENTARY CASH FLOW INFORMATION

         In March 1996, the Company sold approximately  339,000 shares of common
stock for gross proceeds of approximately  $951,000 in connection with a private
offering  to  foreign  investors.  This  stock is  unregistered  and  subject to
restrictions  on private  trading in the United States for a period of forty-one
days.  In  connection   with  the  offering,   the  Company   incurred  fees  of
approximately $61,000. No warrants were issued to the underwriter.  Net proceeds
of the offering were approximately $890,000.

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

INTRODUCTION

         The  following  information  should  be read in  conjunction  with  the
consolidated  financial  statements  and notes thereto in Part I, Item 1 of this
Quarterly  Report and with  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations  contained in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1995.

         The  Company  does  not  provide  forecasts  of  the  future  financial
performance of the Company.  However, from time to time, information provided by
the Company or statements  made by its employees may contain  "forward  looking"
information  that involves risks and  uncertainties.  In particular,  statements
contained in this Form 10-QSB which are not historical facts constitute  forward
looking  statements and are made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private
Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Each forward looking statement should
be read in  conjunction  with the  consolidated  financial  statements and notes
thereto in Part I, Item 1, of this  Quarterly  Report  and with the  information
contained in Item 2, including,  but not limited to,  "Certain  Factors That May
Affect  Future  Results"  contained  herein,   together  with  the  Management's
Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results of  Operations
contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
   December  31,  1995,  including,  but not  limited  to, the  section  therein
entitled "Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

               Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 1996 As Compared
                With The Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 1995

NET SALES

         Net  sales  for the  three-month  period  ended  March  31,  1996  were
$3,801,879 as compared with  $5,274,721 for the  three-month  period ended March
31, 1995, a decrease of $1,472,842 or 28%. In May 1995, the Company restructured
its agreement with Apple Computer,  Inc. ("Apple")  regarding the Company's L-TV
product so that it could  recognize  royalty  revenue  rather than product sales
with related cost of goods sold, as it had in its transactions with Apple during
the first quarter of 1995. The restructuring of the agreement  resulted from the
severe liquidity and cash flow problems experienced by the Company at the end of
1994 and during the first six months of 1995.  In the  quarter  ended  March 31,
1996,  the  Company  recognized  royalty  revenues  from Apple of  approximately
$317,000  or 8% of net  sales,  with  100%  gross  margin.  If the  Company  had
recognized  Apple  revenue on a product  sale rather than  royalty  basis in the
quarter  ended  March  31,  1996,  net  sales  would  have  been   approximately
$4,927,000,  a decrease of  $347,000,  or 7% from net sales in the three  months
ended March 31, 1995. The Company  expects that royalty  revenues from the Apple
agreement will not be material for the remainder of 1996.

         Also, in the  three-month  period ended March 31, 1996,  net sales were
lower in that the Company  experienced  a  significant  reduction in orders from
Apple for the  Company's  L-TV  product and orders for the  Company's  graphics/
connectivity products for Apple's PowerBook 190 and 5300 laptop computers.

         As of March 31, 1996, the Company had a sales order backlog,  including
royalty sales, of approximately $236,000.

                                      -8-

COST OF GOODS SOLD

         Cost of  goods  sold  were  $5,125,810  or 135% of net  sales,  for the
three-month  period ended March 31, 1996, as compared with  $3,707,242 or 70% of
net sales,  for the three months ended March 31, 1995, an increase of $1,418,568
or 38%.  The  increase  in cost of  goods  sold  in  absolute  dollars  and as a
percentage of sales is due principally to the writedown of inventory  related to
the  Company's  graphics/connectivity  products for the  Powerbook  190 and 5300
laptop  computers and  miscellaneous  adjustments for sales of inventory at cost
including  freight  expediting  charges  associated with the launch of the Micro
Presenter product.

         As previously  disclosed in the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
for the year ended  December 31, 1995,  the Company  experienced  a  significant
reduction in orders for the  Company's  L-TV  product and  graphics/connectivity
products  for the  Powerbook  190 and 5300 laptop  computers  during the quarter
ended March 31, 1996. In the past months, management has become aware of various
product quality and poor  sell-through  issues relating to Apple's Powerbook 190
and 5300  products,  including a recall by Apple of these  products in May 1996.
Because  of the  uncertainty  with  respect  to  these  Apple  products  and the
likelihood that demand for the Company's  graphics/connectivity products will be
significantly below current inventory levels, management has decided to minimize
the Company's  inventory exposure and take a charge of $2.2 million in the first
quarter of 1996.

SALES, MARKETING AND SUPPORT EXPENSES

         Sales,  marketing and support  expenses  were  $1,147,129 or 30% of net
sales,  for the  three-month  period  ended March 31,  1996,  as  compared  with
$779,030,  or 15% of net sales, for the three-month period ended March 31, 1995,
an increase of $368,099 or 47%.  The  increase in sales,  marketing  and support
expenses in both absolute  dollars and as a percentage of net sales is primarily
the result of increased marketing and advertising expenditures,  principally for
display and mail order advertising both domestically and internationally.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

         General and  administrative  expenses for the three-month  period ended
March 31, 1996 were $768,354 or 20% of net sales, as compared with $484,080,  or
9% of net sales for the three-month  period ended March 31, 1995, an increase of
$284,274 or 59%. The increase is due  primarily to higher than  expected  audit,
legal and outside  consulting  fees associated with the Company's 1995 audit and
related filings.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

         Research  and  development  expenses for the  three-month  period ended
March 31, 1996 were $283,252, or 7% of net sales, as compared to $296,136, or 6%
of net sales,  for  three-month  period ended , a decrease of $12,884 or 4%. The
decrease in research and development  expenses in both absolute dollars and as a
percentage  of revenue is due  primarily to lower  salary and related  expenses.
During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company launched PC-Z-TV for Zenith
and the Micro Presenter product.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

         Net interest  expense for the  three-month  period ended March 31, 1996
was $104,374,  or 3% of net sales, as compared to $137,887,  or 3% of net sales,
for the three-month  period ended March 31, 1995 a decrease of $33,513,  or 24%.
Interest expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 arose primarily
from the  $2,500,000  term note,  which the Company 

                                      -9-

issued in October 1994 to an unrelated  party,  and a $1,000,000  line of credit
with its  commercial  bank.  In  addition,  expenses  related to the issuance of
warrants to lenders in 1995 are  included  in  interest  expense for the quarter
ended March 31, 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         For the  quarter  ended  March 31,  1996,  net cash  used in  operating
activities was $1,874,305 consisting primarily of a net loss of $3,644,851,  and
an increase in accounts receivable of $1,739,646. These were partially offset by
increased accounts payable and accrued  liabilities  totaling $3,126,843 as well
as  depreciation of property,  plant and equipment and  amortization of goodwill
relating to the Lapis  acquisition  of $204,324.  Net cash provided by financing
activities  was $776,503 due primarily to proceeds of  approximately  $1,850,000
from the  exercise of warrants and issuance of shares of common stock in private
placements described below. The proceeds were partially offset by the payment of
notes payable totaling $1,030,000  primarily the partial repayment of $1,000,000
of the amount owed under the Company's $2,500,000 term note.

         As of March 31,  1996,  the  Company had a working  capital  deficit of
$772,741,  as compared to working  capital of $862,686 at December  31,  1995, a
decrease of $1,635,107. The decrease is primarily attributable to an increase in
accounts  payable  of  approximately  $1,000,000  and  an  increase  in  accrued
liabilities  of  approximately  $2,100,000  offset by an  increase  in  accounts
receivable of approximately $1,700,000.

         In March 1996, the Company sold approximately  339,000 shares of common
stock for gross proceeds of approximately  $951,000 in connection with a private
offering  to  private  investors.  This  stock is  unregistered  and  subject to
restrictions  on private  trading in the United States for a period of forty-one
days.  In  connection   with  the  offering,   the  Company   incurred  fees  of
approximately $61,000. No warrants were issued to the underwriter.  Net proceeds
of the offering were approximately $890,000.

         From  January  1,  through   March  31,   1996,   the  Company   issued
approximately  781,000 shares of common stock upon the exercise of approximately
774,000 private and public  warrants,  receiving gross proceeds of approximately
$1,010,000.

         In connection with the Company's writedown of $2.2 million in inventory
of  graphics/connectivity  products for the Apple 190 and 5300 laptop computers,
the Company recorded approximately $466,000 in charges for inventory received in
the  quarter  ended  March 31, 1996 and  recorded  an  additional  approximately
$1,742,000 of accrued  liabilities  for products  ordered under  non-cancellable
purchase orders that had not been received at March 31, 1996.

         From its  inception  through  March 31, 1996,  the Company has incurred
approximately  $13  million of  accumulated  losses.  The report of  independent
accountants on the Company's financial  statements as of and for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994 includes an explanatory  paragraph to the effect that
the  Company's  ability to continue  as a going  concern is  dependent  upon the
Company's  ability to achieve  its fiscal 1996  operating  plan,  including  the
achievement  of sustained  profitability,  and obtaining  additional  sources of
financing.  In 1995,  the  Company  redefined  its  operating  model to  achieve
profitability by discontinuing sales of lower-margin,  non-proprietary products,
by focusing its marketing  efforts on its  higher-margin  proprietary  products,
emphasizing  sales to OEMs and the reseller channel,  limiting  inventory levels
and reducing  operating  costs.  In 1996, the Company expects to continue to use
this business model. The Company's  ability to achieve  profitability in 1996 is
dependent upon its securing additional contracts from OEM partners such as Apple
and Zenith  Electronics,  Inc.,  as well as,  increasing  revenues  through  its
domestic and international distributors.  The Company does not have any material
commitments  for  capital  expenditures.  Management  anticipates  that  

                                      -10-

current working capital, funds generated through the revised business model, and
additional  funds that may be  received  from debt or equity  financing  will be
sufficient to fund  operations for at least 12 months.  The Company is currently
negotiating  with its  commercial  bank and its  unaffiliated  lenders to extend
until March 1997 the term of its  $1,000,000  line of credit and its  $2,500,000
term note.  There can be no assurance  that the Company  will achieve  sustained
profitability or obtain sufficient  financing to provide the liquidity necessary
for the Company to continue operations.

CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

         The following  discussion of the Company's  risk factors should be read
in conjunction  with the financial  statements  and related notes  thereto.  The
following factors among others,  could cause actual results to differ materially
from those contained in forward looking statements  contained or incorporated by
reference in this report and  presented by  management  from time to time.  Such
factors,  among others,  may have a material  adverse  effect upon the Company's
business, results of operations and financial condition.

         Reliance on Major  Customer.  Approximately  50% of the  Company's  net
sales  during the year  ended  December  31,  1995 and  approximately  8% of the
Company's  net sales  during the three  months ended March 31, 1996 were derived
from sales of the Company's L-TV product to Apple Computer,  Inc. ("Apple").  In
August 1994, the Company entered into a two year Master Purchase  Agreement with
Apple under which Apple has agreed to bundle and  distribute  the Company's L-TV
product with Apple's  "Presentation  System" product offering.  In May 1995, the
Company  restructured  the Agreement due to the Company's  severe  liquidity and
cash flow  problems  at the end of 1994 and during the first half of 1995.  As a
result, the Company  outsourced all manufacturing  functions to a turnkey vendor
who paid the Company a royalty on sales. The Agreement is non-exclusive and does
not obligate Apple to purchase minimum quantities of the L-TV product and may be
terminated  at any time by Apple.  Management  believes  that orders  under this
agreement in 1996 will not be material to the Company's revenues for the year as
a whole. The Company believes it may secure  additional  contracts from Apple in
the  future,  however,  no  assurances  can be given  that the  Company  will be
successful in securing one or more additional contracts.

         Future  Capital  Needs.  At March 31,  1996,  the Company had a working
capital  deficit of $772,421,  cash and cash  equivalents  of $1,006,468 and was
fully drawn on its $1 million  line of credit with its bank and its $2.5 million
term  note with an  unaffiliated  lender.  Historically,  the  Company  has been
required to meet its short- and  long-term  cash needs through debt and the sale
of Common Stock in private placements in that cash flow from operations has been
insufficient.  In December  1995,  the  Company  received  gross  proceeds of $1
million from the sale of Common Stock to four investors in a private  placement.
In the first quarter of 1996, the Company received  approximately  $1,850,000 in
proceeds from the exercise of warrants and sale of common stock.

         The Company's future capital  requirements will depend on many factors,
including  cash flow from  operations,  continued  progress in its  research and
development programs,  competing technological and market developments,  and the
Company's ability to market its products successfully.  During 1996, the Company
may be required to raise additional  funds through equity or debt financing,  of
which there can be no assurance.  Any equity  financing could result in dilution
to the  Company's  then-existing  stockholders  that the Company will be able to
obtain.  Sources of debt financing may result in higher  interest  expense.  Any
financing, if available, may be on terms unfavorable to the Company. If adequate
funds are not  available,  the Company may be required to curtail its activities
significantly.

                                      -11-

         Limited Availability of Capital under Credit Arrangements with Lenders.
The Company  maintains a $1,000,000  line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank. As
of March 31, 1996,  approximately $910,000 is owed to the Bank under the line of
credit.  Pursuant to its agreement with the Bank, the line of credit  terminated
in April 1996, and the Company is currently  negotiating with the Bank to extend
the line of credit  until  March 31,  1997.  In the event that the Bank does not
renew the line of  credit,  the  Company  will be  required  to pay the  amounts
outstanding from working capital or other equity or debt financing. At March 31,
1996, the Company's cash position was  approximately $1 million,  which could be
used to repay a portion of the outstanding balance on this line of credit.

         In October 1994, the Company borrowed  $2,500,000 from a private lender
to help finance its inventory and accounts  receivable under its Master Purchase
Agreement with Apple. The Company issued to this private lender its term note in
the aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000.  The term note accrues interest at
the revolving rate of prime plus 2%, is payable  quarterly in arrears at the end
of December,  March, June, and September,  and is due February 1, 1996. The term
note is secured by those  specific  assets  financed  under the  agreement  with
Apple, including accounts receivable,  finished goods, inventory, raw materials,
work-in-process  and contract  rights  arising  under the Apple  agreement.  The
Company has fully  utilized the  proceeds of this term note to finance  purchase
orders received from Apple. In January 1996, the Company repaid approximately $1
million  of the  amount  owed under the term  note.  The  Company  is  currently
negotiating with the lender to extend the due date of the term note to March 31,
1997 or convert the term note into equity. In the event that the lender does not
extend the due date of the term note,  the  Company  will be required to pay the
amounts outstanding from working capital or other equity or debt financing.

         Component Supply Problems.  The Company purchases all of its parts from
outside suppliers and from time to time experiences difficulty in obtaining some
components or  peripheral  devices.  The Company  attempts to reduce the risk of
supply interruption by evaluating and obtaining  alternative sources for various
components or peripheral devices. However, there can be no assurance that supply
shortages  will not occur in the future which could  significantly  increase the
cost,  or delay of  shipment  of, the  Company's  products,  which in turn could
adversely affect its results of operations.

         Dependence  on Apple  Macintosh  Platform:  Adverse  Effects of Reduced
Apple Macintosh Sales. A substantial portion of the Company's sales to date have
been derived from  products  designed for use on the Apple  Macintosh  family of
personal computers,  and the Company expects that sales of products for use with
Macintosh  computers will continue to represent a substantial portion of its net
sales for the  foreseeable  future.  Although sales of Macintosh  computers have
increased  from year to year,  there can be no  assurance  that such  sales will
continue to be widely accepted as a platform for high performance  applications.
Also,  there can be no assurance  that other  computer  platforms  will not gain
increased  acceptance  in the  Company's  markets as these  platforms  evolve to
support  applications  similar to those offered for the Macintosh.  In addition,
there can be no  assurance  that the  Company  will be able to make  timely  and
successful introductions of products for other platforms.

         Reliance on Single Vendor.  Approximately 60% of the components for the
Company's products are manufactured on a turnkey basis by a single vendor,  Pagg
Corporation.  In the event that the vendor were to cease  supplying the Company,
management  believes  there are  alternative  vendors for the components for the
Company's products.  However, the Company would experience  short-term delays in
the shipment of its products.

         Market   Acceptance.   The  Company's  sales  and  marketing   strategy
contemplates  sales  of its  products  to the  Macintosh  computer  enhancements
market.  There can be no assurance that the Company's marketing strategy will be
effective and that  consumers of Macintosh  computer 

                                      -12-

enhancements  will buy the  Company's  products.  The  failure of the Company to
penetrate the Macintosh enhancements market would have a material adverse effect
upon its operations and prospects.  Market  acceptance of the Company's  current
and proposed products will depend upon the ability of the Company to demonstrate
the advantages of its products over other computer enhancement products.

         Competition.  The Macintosh computer  enhancements  market is extremely
competitive.  The  Company  competes  with  computer  retail  stores,  including
superstores,  certain  hardware  and  software  vendors  which sell  directly to
end-users,  and other direct marketers of Macintosh  enhancements and peripheral
products. Many of the Company's competitors, including Apple, Radius and Asante,
have greater market recognition and greater financial,  technical, marketing and
human resources than the Company. Although the Company is not currently aware of
any  announcements  by its competitors  that would have a material impact on the
Company or its  operations,  there can be no assurance  that the Company will be
able to compete  successfully  against existing companies or new entrants to the
marketplace.

         Technological Obsolescence.  The Macintosh computer enhancements market
is characterized by extensive  research and development and rapid  technological
change resulting in product life cycles of nine to eighteen months.  Development
by others of new or improved  products,  processes or technologies  may take the
Company's  products  or proposed  products  obsolete  or less  competitive.  The
Company will be required o devote substantial efforts and financial resources to
enhance  its  existing  products  and to develop new  products.  There can be no
assurance that the Company will succeed with these efforts.

         Protection of  Proprietary  Information.  The Company does not have any
patents.  The Company  treats its technical data as  confidential  and relies on
internal nondisclosure  safeguards,  including  confidentiality  agreements with
employees,  and on laws  protecting  trade  secrets to protect  its  proprietary
information.  There can be no  assurance  that these  measures  will  adequately
protect the  confidentiality  of the Company's  proprietary  information or that
others will not independently develop products or technology that are equivalent
or superior to those of the  Company.  While it may be necessary or desirable in
the  future  to  obtain  licenses  relating  to one or more of its  products  or
relating to current or future  technologies,  there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to do so on commercially reasonable terms.

         Dependence  on  Key  Personnel.  The  Company's  success  depends  to a
significant extent, upon a number of key employees.  The loss of services of one
or more of these employees, especially the Company's Chief Executive Officer and
President,  Thomas  L.  Massie,  could  have a  material  adverse  effect on the
business of the Company.  The Company believes that its future success will also
depend in part upon its  ability  to  attract,  retain  and  motivate  qualified
personnel.  Competition for such personnel in the computer  industry is intense.
Although the Company has not in the past  experienced  difficulty  in attracting
and retaining  qualified  personnel,  there can be no assurance that the Company
will be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel in the future.

         Volatility of Stock Price.  The price of the Company's Common Stock and
Redeemable  Common Stock Purchase  Warrants has  fluctuated  widely in the past.
Management  believes  that such  fluctuations  may have been caused by quarterly
fluctuations in the Company's results of operations and other factors, including
changes in the personal computer market generally and in the market for products
related  to  the  Apple  operating  system  in  particular.  Due  to  the  rapid
technological  changes and highly competitive nature of the computer industry as
a whole,  prices for the  securities of technology  companies  have  experienced
extreme  volatility  over  the  past  several  months  and  can be  expected  to
experience extreme volatility in the future.  Such price volatility could have a
material  adverse effect on the Company's  ability to raise capital 

                                      -13-

at  favorable  valuations,  as well as  reduce  the  ability  of a holder of the
Company's securities to sell them at favorable prices.

                                      -14-

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         The Company is not party to any pending legal  proceedings,  other than
routine  litigation  that is  incidental  to the  business,  which  would have a
material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  financial  position  or  results of
operation for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.


ITEM 2.  CHANGES  IN SECURITIES

         No  instruments  defining  the  rights of the  holders  of any class of
registered  securities  have  been  materially  modified  nor  have  the  rights
evidenced  by any class of  registered  securities  been  materially  limited or
qualified by the issuance or modification of any other class of securities.


ITEM 3.  DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

         The  Company  maintains  a  revolving  line of credit with a bank which
permits  borrowings up to $1,000,000.  Borrowings  under the line are payable on
demand  and are  collateralized  by all  assets of the  Company  except as noted
below.  Borrowings  aggregating  $910,000 at March 31, 1996 bear interest at the
bank's prime rate plus 1% and are personally guaranteed by an investor. The line
expired on April 6, 1996,  and the  Company is  currently  negotiating  with the
lender to extend the due date of the loan.

         In October  1994,  the Company  borrowed  $2,500,000  from an unrelated
individual  under a term  note due  February  1,  1996.  The term  note  accrues
interest  at the prime  rate  plus 2%,  payable  quarterly  in  arrears,  and is
collateralized by the inventory, accounts receivable and contract rights related
to the  Company's  business with Apple  Computer,  Inc. The Company is currently
negotiating with the lender to extend the due date of the term note to March 31,
1997 or convert the term note into equity.  In January 1996,  the Company repaid
$1,000,000  of the  amount  owed  under the term note.  At March 31,  1996,  the
Company owed $1,500,000 to the lender under the term note.


ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE

         No matters were submitted during the first quarter ended March 31, 1996
to a vote of security  holders of the Company,  whether through  solicitation of
proxies or otherwise.
