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, 1997.

     Cash and Cash  Equivalents.  Cash and cash  equivalents  include  overnight
     repurchase  agreements and U.S. Treasury money market investments  totaling
     approximately  $5,697,000 and $1,845,000 at March 31, 1998 and December 31,
     1997, respectively.


2.   LOSS PER SHARE
     --------------

     Basic loss per share is determined  based on the weighted average number of
     common shares assumed to be outstanding  during each period.  Dilutive loss
     per  share  is the  same as  basic  loss  per  share  as all  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, 1998 and 1997 is
     11,346,869 and 10,041,746, respectively.

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

Forward-Looking Statements
- --------------------------

When  used in this  Form  10-Q and in future  filings  by the  Company  with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission,  the words or phrases "will likely result",
"management  expects" or "Company expects",  "will continue",  "is anticipated",
"estimated"  or similar  expressions  are intended to identify  "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private  Securities  Litigation Reform Act
of  1995.   Readers  are  cautioned   not  to  place  undue   reliance  on  such
forward-looking  statements,  each of which speak only as of the date made. Such
statements  are  subject to certain  risks and  uncertainties  that could  cause
actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently
anticipated or projected, including the timely development and acceptance of new
products,  sources of supply and concentration of customers.  The Company has no
obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions which may be made to
any  forward-looking  statements to reflect  anticipated events or circumstances
occurring after the date of such statements.


Results of  Operations  for Each of the Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and 1997
- --------

Revenues
- --------

Revenues  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1998  decreased  by $114,964 as
compared  to the same  period in 1997 due to a decrease in the number of cameras
systems sold,  offset  somewhat by an increase in the average  selling price per
system and revenues  generated  from the Company's  first beta site sales of its
new studio production  system. The Company sold 228 camera systems at an average
selling price of $7,600 per system during the three months ended March 31, 1998,
as compared to 342 systems at an average  selling  price of $6,100 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997.  The decrease in camera system sales is primarily a
result of a decrease in systems  sold to Vtel  during the first  quarter of 1998
when compared with the same quarter in 1997. The increase in the average selling
price per system is primarily  due to a change in the mix of products  sold.  In
addition,  the Company  generated revenue from the sale of two studio systems to
beta customers during the first quarter of 1998. The studio system is a

                                       8
<PAGE>

new product which is expected to generate  revenues  averaging  from $150,000 to
$250,000 per system.  The  Company's  ability to generate  revenues from its new
studio system is dependent upon market acceptance of this product.


Gross Margin
- ------------

For the three month  periods  ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,  gross margins as a
percentage of sales were 32.2% and 44.3%,  respectively.  This $288,418 decrease
in margin is  primarily  due to the  increased  cost of placing a new product in
production,  pricing  discounts  offered  on the  initial  beta  sales of studio
systems,  and an increase in overhead  costs as compared to the first quarter of
1997.  The  increase in overhead is  primarily  due to the  increase in facility
rental cost in September 1997.


Marketing and Selling Expenses
- ------------------------------

Marketing  and selling  expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 1998
increased  $188,116 as compared to the same period in 1997. This increase is due
to the  establishment  of a sales  office  in Oregon  early in 1998,  as well as
increased  advertising and production costs associated with launching the studio
product.


Research and Development Expenses
- ---------------------------------

The Company's research and development expenses for the three month period ended
March 31, 1998 increased  $301,992 as compared to the same period in 1997.  This
increase  is a result  of  increased  personnel  and  related  costs in order to
develop the Company's studio product and wireless technology.


General and Administrative Expenses
- -----------------------------------

For the three month  period  ended March 31,  1998,  general and  administrative
expenses  increased  $151,293  over the same  period in 1997.  This  increase is
primarily a result of  increased  personnel  costs,  increased  usage of outside
professional services and the amortization of prepaid consulting fees.

Interest Income
- ---------------

Interest  income for the three  month  period  ended  March 31,  1998  increased
$228,393 from the same period in 1997. This increase is due to the investment of
the proceeds from the Company's 1997 offerings, offset somewhat by the Company's
use of proceeds from maturing  investments  to fund  operations  during 1997 and
1998.

Backlog
- -------

As of March 31, 1998, the Company had a backlog of  approximately  $154,000,  as
compared to a backlog as of December 31, 1997 of approximately $31,000.  Backlog
consists of orders received which generally have a specified  delivery  schedule
within three to five weeks of receipt. During the last two quarters, the Company
has been able to reduce its delivery schedule for most products to approximately
one week.

                                       9
<PAGE>

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

At March 31, 1998, the Company had working capital of  $24,660,301,  an increase
of $236,010  from  $24,424,291  at December 31, 1997.  The  Company's  principal
source of  liquidity  at March 31, 1998  consisted  of  $20,781,079  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.
