1.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     There have been no changes in accounting policies from those stated in the
     Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1996.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include overnight
     repurchase agreements totaling $1,769,000 and $1,108,000 at March 31, 1997
     and December 31, 1996, respectively.


2.   LOSS PER SHARE

     Loss per share is determined based on the weighted average number of common
     shares assumed to be outstanding during each period. Common share
     equivalents are excluded from the calculation as their effect is
     anti-dilutive. The weighted average number of common shares assumed to be
     outstanding for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 is
     10,041,746 and 8,803,119, respectively.


3.   INVENTORIES:

     Inventories consist of the following:

4.   SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

     For the quarter ended March 31, 1997, Vtel Corporation ("VTEL") accounted
     for approximately 50% of total revenues. For the quarter ended March 31,
     1996, VTEL and one other customer accounted for approximately 48% and 15%
     of total revenues, respectively.


5.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     Building lease

     During March 1992, the Company entered into an operating lease arrangement
     with certain related parties for the office and manufacturing facility the
     Company currently occupies. The initial lease term expired in February
     1997, and the Company exercised its first of three five-year renewal
     options. The renewal option, as amended in February 1997, provides for a
     base monthly lease payment of $8,333 through August 31, 1997, increasing to
     a base monthly lease payment of no less than $23,376 thereafter.


6.   STOCK OPTIONS

     On January 9, 1997, nonqualified stock options were granted to Messrs.
     Sammons, Jeffrey Parker, Todd Parker and Arthur Yeager and Ms. Wilf to
     purchase an aggregate of 75,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price
     of $11.875 per share. These options vest immediately and expire ten years
     from the date of grant. In addition, a nonqualified stock option was
     granted to Mr. Jeffrey Parker on January 9, 1997 to purchase 100,000 shares
     of common stock at an exercise price of $11.875 per share. This option
     vests ratably over a five-year period and expires ten years from the date
     of grant. The Company also granted an incentive stock option to purchase
     33,500 shares of common stock to Mr. David Sorrells, director and chief
     technical officer of the Company. This option vests ratably over five years
     and expires five years from the date it first becomes exercisable.

     In addition, on January 9, 1997, the Company granted incentive stock
     options to several employees to purchase an aggregate of 82,000 shares of
     common stock at an exercise price of $11.875 per share. Of the 82,000
     shares granted, options for 26,000 shares vest immediately and the
     remaining 56,000 options vest ratably over four years. The options expire
     five years from the date they first become exercisable.

7.  CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share" which, when
adopted, will replace the current methodology for calculating and presenting
earnings per share. Under SFAS No. 128, primary earnings per share will be
replaced with a presentation of basic earnings per share and fully diluted
earnings per share will be replaced with diluted earnings per share. Basic
earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly to
fully diluted earnings per share. The statement will be effective beginning in
the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997,
including restatement of historical earnings per share presented in such
financial statements. Management does not expect the impact of SFAS No. 128 to
materially differ from the current presentation of earnings per share.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations


Results of Operations for Each of the Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 1997
and 1996

Revenues

Revenues for the three months ended March 31,1997 were $2,096,888, as compared
to $1,537,689 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. This increase of
$559,199 is a result of an increase in the number of systems sold, as well as an
increase in the average selling price per system.

The Company sold 342 systems during the three month period ended March 31, 1997,
as compared to 269 systems for the three month period ended March 31, 1996. This
increase in system sales is attributable to continued market acceptance of the
CameraMan(R) systems.

The average selling price per system for the three months ended March 31, 1997
and 1996, was approximately $6,100 and $5,700, respectively. This increase of
approximately $400 per system is due to a change in the mix of products sold.


Gross Margin

For the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, gross margins as a
percentage of sales were 44.7% and 33.7%, respectively. This increase is
primarily due to price increases implemented on certain CameraMan(R) products
during 1997 as well as reduced manufacturing overhead during the first quarter
of 1997.


                                       9

Marketing and Selling Expenses

Marketing and selling expenses were $774,875 for the three month period ended
March 31, 1997, as compared to $466,935 for the same period in 1996. This
increase of $307,940 is primarily due to an increase in advertising and
personnel costs in order to promote the Company's studio product line and to
expand distribution into international markets.


Research and Development Expenses

The Company's research and development expenses were $695,576 and $341,249 for
the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. This
increase of $354,327 is primarily a result of increased personnel and related
costs incurred in order to develop the Company's studio product line and
continue development of the Company's wireless technology.


General and Administrative Expenses

For the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, general and
administrative expenses were $385,284 and $301,183, respectively. This increase
of $84,101 is primarily a result of increased personnel costs and amortization
of prepaid consulting fees.


Nonrecoverable Start-up and Excess Capacity Costs

For the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, nonrecoverable
start-up and excess capacity costs were $0 and $51,350, respectively. These
costs represent labor and overhead cost incurred by the Company in excess of
those directly or indirectly attributable to system production. By the third
quarter of 1996, the Company began fully absorbing these costs into cost of
goods sold and does not anticipate recognizing any excess capacity costs in 1997
or future periods.


Interest Expense

Interest expense represents interest on subordinated debentures payable to
related parties. Interest expense was $0 and $66,913, for the three month
periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The decrease in interest
expense is a result of the conversion of the subordinated debentures to common
stock during the second quarter of 1996.


                                       10
<PAGE>

Interest Income

Interest income was $174,902 and $82,066 for the three month periods ended March
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Interest income primarily represents interest
earned on the investment in U.S. government securities of a substantial portion
of the proceeds from the Company's initial public offering and its subsequent
non-registered offerings in 1996. The increase in interest income is due to the
investment of the proceeds from the Company's 1996 offerings, offset somewhat by
the Company's use of proceeds from maturing investments to fund operations
during 1996 and 1997.


Backlog

As of March 31, 1997, the Company had a backlog of approximately $704,000, as
compared to a backlog as of March 31, 1996 of approximately $1,900,000. Backlog
consists of orders received which generally have a specified delivery schedule
within three months of receipt. The substantial backlog at March 31, 1996 was a
result of orders for the Company's newly released System II products which began
shipping late in the first quarter of 1996.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 1997, the Company had working capital of $9,671,691, an increase of
$1,457,827 from $8,213,864 at December 31, 1996. This increase in working
capital is primarily due to the maturity of long-term investments during the
first quarter of 1997.

The Company's principal source of liquidity at March 31, 1997 consisted of
$7,232,033 in cash and short-term investments. Until the Company generates
sufficient revenues from system sales, it will be required to continue to
utilize this source of liquidity to cover the continuing expense of product
development, marketing and sales, and general administration. The Company
believes this source of liquidity will provide sufficient resources to meet its
cash requirements for the next twelve months as well as on a longer-term basis.
