                        (a development stage corporation)
              Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

                             June 30, 1996 and 1995

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Company as of June 30, 1996, and the results of its operations and cash flows
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, and for the period from
February 12, 1988 (inception) through June 30, 1996. Such financial statements
have been condensed in accordance with the applicable regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1995,
included in its Form 10-K filed in April 1996. The results of operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for the full year.

The Company has reclassified certain expenses incurred for research and
development for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, which were originally charged
to selling, general and administrative.  Such changes have been reflected in
the totals for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, and the cumulative
totals.

1.  (Loss) per Share:

(Loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. The inclusion of common stock equivalents (warrants,
options, and convertible preferred stock) in this computation would be
antidilutive.


2.  Stock Options and Grants:

During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company granted various employees,
the Chairman of the Executive Committee, and one consultant options to purchase
a total of 277,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at $3.09 per share. These
options were granted at the market price on the date next preceding the date of
grant.

In May 1996, the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to the 1994 Wave
Employee Stock Option Plan. The total number of shares of common stock available
under the plan was increased by 1,000,000 shares.


3.  Related Party Transaction:

In May of 1996 the Company re-directed its operations to capitalize on the
consumer marketplace and the rapid growth of the Internet. To this end the
Company entered into negotiations and reached an agreement in principle with
Wave Interactive Network ("WIN") whereby the Company will subsequently acquire
all of the outstanding common stock of WIN not currently owned by the Company.
The details of the agreement are currently being finalized. The Company has
financed the activities of WIN since May of 1996 by extending short-term loans
to WIN. These notes have been fully reserved.

4.  Capital Stock:

In May of 1996 the Company raised $3,214,026, net of expenses, through the
private placement of 350 shares of Series B Preferred Stock ("Series B Stock").
The Series B Stock has a stated value of $10,000 per share, which accrues
dividends for liquidation and conversion purposes at 6% per annum, and ranks
senior to the Company's common stock and junior to the Series A Preferred Stock.
Series B Stock is convertible by the holder, in increments, into the Company's
Class A common stock based on the market price of the Company's Class A common
stock at the time of conversion. The Series B Stock is subject to automatic
conversion two years from the issue date. In the event of any conversion,
whether automatic or voluntary, by a holder or holders, the Company is required
to redeem the number of Series B Stock that, when converted into Class A common
stock, would exceed 20% of the total number of shares of Class A common stock
then outstanding.


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

OVERVIEW
Wave Systems Corp. ("Wave" or the "Company") is in transition from a company
focused principally on research and development of new technology to a company
focused on the commercialization of its technology through licensing fees,
royalties and product sales. Since its inception in February of 1988, the
Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts and resources to research,
feasibility studies, design, development, and market testing of the Wave System.
During this period, the Company designed and successfully developed its
proprietary application specific integrated circuit ("ASIC") as well as WaveNet
and other necessary components of the WaveMeter and the Wave System. Concurrent
with its research and development activities, the Company has devoted increased
resources to market research, market development and other related activities.

In May of 1996 the Company re-directed its operations to capitalize on the
consumer marketplace and the rapid growth of the Internet. To this end the
Company entered into negotiations and reached an agreement in principle with
Wave Interactive Network ("WIN") whereby the Company will subsequently acquire
all of the outstanding common stock of WIN not currently owned by the Company.
The details of the agreement are currently being finalized. The Company has
financed the activities of WIN since May of 1996 by extending short-term loans
to WIN. These notes have been fully reserved.

In May of 1996 the Company raised $3,500,000 through the private placement of
350 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Series B Preferred Stock accrues
dividends at a rate of 6% per annum and is convertible into the Company's Class
A common stock based on the market price of the Company's Class A common stock
at the time of conversion.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995
Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were
$810,994, as compared to $654,059 for the comparable period of 1995. The
increase in research and development expenses was primarily attributable to an
increase in personnel and other related costs associated with the continued
design and development of the Company's ASIC, including, but not limited to,
non-recurring engineering costs and prototype purchases; transaction processing
system (WaveNet); real time news services; and related enabling technologies.
Current research and development activities are focused on the final development
of an Internet-based commerce/publishing solution, integration of the Company's
technology with emerging cable modem technologies and other broadband
technologies, as well as additional ASIC development for future products and
adaptation of the Company's products to additional software operating
environments and computer platforms.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30,
1996 were $1,646,654, as compared to $1,017,569 for the comparable period of
1995. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily
attributable to the pending acquisition of WIN and the associated financing of
WIN's activities.

Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $49,906, as
compared to $145,878 for the comparable period of 1995. The decrease in interest
income is primarily attributable to a decrease in interest-bearing assets.

Due to the reasons set forth above, the Company's net loss for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 was $2,407,879 as compared to $1,525,750 for the comparable
period of 1995.


SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995
Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were
$1,721,291, as compared to $1,300,871 for the comparable period of 1995. The
increase in research and development expenses was primarily attributable to an
increase in personnel and other related costs associated with the continued
design and development of the Company's ASIC, including, but not limited to,
non-recurring engineering costs and prototype purchases; transaction processing
system (WaveNet); real time news services; and related enabling technologies.
Current research and development activities are focused on the final development
of an Internet based commerce/publishing solution, integration of the Company's
technology with emerging cable modem technologies and other broadband
technologies, as well as additional ASIC development for future products and
adaptation of the Company's products to additional software operating
environments and computer platforms.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30,
1996 were $2,632,104, as compared to $1,794,755 for the comparable period of
1995. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily
attributable to an increase in personnel and other related costs associated with
the development and marketing of new applications of the Company's technology as
well as the pending acquisition of WIN and the associated financing of WIN's
activities.

Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $115,689, as compared
to $310,534 for the comparable period of 1995. The decrease in interest income
is primarily attributable to a decrease in interest-bearing assets.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>   9



Due to the reasons set forth above, the Company's net loss for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 was $4,236,695 as compared to $2,785,092 for the comparable
period of 1995.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flow from operations
since its inception and, as of June 30, 1996, had a deficit accumulated during
the development stage of $26,979,549. The Company has financed its operations
through June 30, 1996 principally through the private placement of Class B
Common Stock for an aggregate amount of $6,201,931 (before deduction of expenses
incurred in connection therewith), the issuance of $2,873,250 in aggregate
principal amount of its 10% Convertible Notes and 15% Notes (of which $2,098,250
was converted into Class B Common Stock), the sale of 3,728,200 shares of its
Class A Common Stock in an initial public offering raising approximately
$15,711,000 after all expenses, and the private placement of 350 shares of
Series B Preferred Stock for an aggregate amount of $3,500,000 (before deduction
of expenses incurred in connection therewith). In addition, the Company has
attempted to contain costs and reduce cash flow requirements by using
consultants and compensating key employees, consultants, suppliers and other
vendors with Common Stock and options to purchase Common Stock.

At June 30, 1996, the Company had approximately $2,197,000 in cash and cash
equivalents and approximately $2,951,000 in marketable securities. At December
31, 1995, the Company had approximately $2,512,000 in cash and cash equivalents
and approximately $3,946,000 in marketable securities. The decrease in cash and
cash equivalents reflects cash expenditures of approximately $4,234,000 to
finance operations and acquire property and equipment. At June 30, 1996, the
Company had working capital of approximately $4,816,000. The Company expects to
incur substantial additional expenses resulting in significant losses at least
through the period ending December 31, 1996 due to minimal revenues associated
with initial market entry, continued research and development costs as well as
increased sales and marketing expenses associated with market testing and
roll-out.

Significant uncertainty currently exists with respect to the adequacy of current
funds to support the Company's activities until positive cash flow from
operations can be achieved. Additionally, despite the successful placement of
the Company's Series B Preferred Stock in May of this quarter, the Company is
uncertain as to the availability of financing from other sources to fund any
cash deficiencies. These uncertainties raise doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern.

In order to reduce these uncertainties, the Company continues to evaluate
additional financing options and may therefore elect to raise capital, from time
to time, through equity or debt financing in order to capitalize on business
opportunities, market conditions and insure the continued development of the
Company's technology, products and services. Additionally, the Company monitors
its performance on a monthly basis and, if necessary, will reduce its operating
expenditures accordingly. The Company believes that these activities provide a
viable plan for the continuation of the Company's business into 1997.

The Company presently has no material commitments for capital expenditures.
However, in order to bring the Wave System to market, the Company anticipates
spending additional amounts on inventory items such as computer chips and
boards, additional hardware, and related materials. Such spending will vary
based on the Company's requirements.
