Item 7. Pro Forma Financial Information.

On November 9, 1998, FVC.COM, Inc. filed a Current Report on Form 8-K/A which 
included pro forma financial information with respect to the acquisition of 
ICAST Corporation ("ICAST") by FVC Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned 
subsidiary of FVC.COM, Inc. In its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 
ended December 31, 1998 FVC.COM disclosed that the Company has recomputed the 
in-process research and development charge ("IPR&D") for its acquisition of 
ICAST in accordance with new Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") 
guidelines. Based on the new SEC guidelines the Company has reduced its 
estimate of the amount allocated in IPR&D in the ICAST acquisition by $1.5 
million, from $6.2 million to $4.7 million.  The pro forma financial 
information filed herewith gives effect to the impact of this revision.

The pro forma financial information filed herewith is as follows:

     a.   Pro Forma Financial Information

          Pro forma fianancial information for the year ended December 31,
          1997 and the six months ended June 30, 1998 are included herein.

Item 7(a) - Pro Forma Financial Information

     On August 26, 1998, FVC.COM, Inc. ("FVC" or the "Company") acquired 
ICAST Corporation ("ICAST"). Since its inception, ICAST has been developing 
software designed for Internet and intranet broadcasting of real-time video, 
audio and data. The Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of ICAST in 
exchange for 401,389 shares of FVC.COM common stock, a cash payment of 
$327,000 and the assumption of certain debt and outstanding ICAST stock 
options and warrants. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase, 
accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and 
liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair market values at the date 
of acquisition as determined by an independant appraisal. The acquired 
in-process research and development ("IPR&D") represented the estimated fair 
market value, using a risk-adjusted income approach, of specifically 
identified technologies which had not reached technological feasibility and 
had no alternative future uses.

      The purchase price, including liabilities assumed of $1.8 million, 
aggregated approximately $7.6 million, of which $6.2 million was initially 
allocated to IPR&D. As a result of recent views expressed by the Securities and 
Exchange Commission staff, the Company subsequently reduced its estimate of 
the amount allocated to IPR&D by $1.5 million to $4.7 million and allocated 
$2.5 million to goodwill and other identified intangibles.

      The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial 
information reflects the business combination between FVC and ICAST accounted 
for using the purchase method of accounting.  The pro forma combined 
condensed statements of operations combine FVC's historical statements of 
operations with ICAST's historical statements of operations for the year 
ended December 31, 1997, and the six months ended June 30, 1998, and give 
effect to the reduction in the amount initially allocated to IPR&D referred 
to above. The pro forma combined condensed statements of operations reflect 
the combination as if it had occurred at the beginning of each period 
presented. A pro forma combined balance sheet is not being filed purusant to 
Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X. The consolidated blance sheet of FVC filed in 
connection with the FVC.COM, Inc. Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the 
quarter ended September 30, 1998 includes the balance sheet data for ICAST.

     The unaudited pro form combined condensed statements of operations are 
not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have been 
achieved had the transaction been effected as of the beginning of such 
periods and should not be construed as representative of future operations.

1.   Adjustments to the Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Operations


     The pro forma combined condensed statements of operations for the year
     ended December 31, 1997 and the six months ended June 30, 1998 include
     increases of $516,000 and $258,000, respectively, in selling, general and
     administrative expenses to reflect the amortization of goodwill and other
     intangible assets resulting from the acquisition over their estimated
     useful lives.


2.   Nonrecurring Charges

     The nonrecurring charge of $4,664,000, resulting from IPR&D is not
     reflected in the pro forma information presented herein pursuant to
     Article 11 of Regulation S-X. Amounts allocated to technology were
     estimated based upon an independent appraisal which used a risk
     adjusted income approach applied to specifically identified technologies
     giving consideration to the stage of completion of such technologies.
     In-process technology was expensed upon acquisition because technological
     feasibility had not been established and no alternative future uses
     existed.
