THE NETWORK CONNECTION, INC.
CONDENSED NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordanc
e with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial inform
ation and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not inc
lude all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted acc
ounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of man
agement, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considere
d necessary for a fair presentation have been include

Net Loss Per Common Share 

Net loss per common share has been computed by dividing net loss by the weigh
ted average number of common shares outstanding during each period.  All shar
e and per share data, except par value per share, have been retroactively adj
usted to reflect the 1.1562894 for 1 stock split of the Company's common sto
ck  which occurred on March 7, 1995.

Accounts Receivable

  All share and per share data, except par value per share, have been retroac
tively adjusted to reflect the 1.1562894 for 1 stock split of the Company's c
ommon stock  which occurred on March 7, 1995.

Accounts Receivable

The Company's products are often used with other products in la
rge complex projects. As a result, the Company may grant extended payment term
s
, usually secured by irrevocable letters of credit, for certain sales. Accoun
ts receivable at June 30, 1996 consisted of approximately $454,000 from sales
 to such customers with extended credit terms of up to 180 days based on the
  nature of the project. Additionally, $211,562 represent amounts due from 
sales type leas
e agreements with equal monthly payments over the 

Management's Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
 accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
 that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
 contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements a
nd the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods
 .  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Private Placement

On March 1, 1996, the Company completed a Private Placement of 300,000 shares
 of  its Common Stock  under Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Act
 of 1933.  The transaction resulted in proceeds of $3.1 million for the 
Company.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10QSB that are not descriptions 
of historical facts may be forward-looking statements that are subject to 
risks and uncertainties, including economic, competitive and technological 
factors affecting the Company's operations, markets, products, services and 
prices, as well as other specific factors discussed in the Company's filings 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  These and other factors may 
cause actual results to differ materially from those anticip


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result
s of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

Revenues increased 80% to $1.5 million for the quarter and 9% to $2.0 million
 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $811,268 and $1.9 million for 
the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively. This increase 
primarily resulted from increased inteonnel and related payroll costs and;
 (iii) administrative expenses related to regulatory reporting and investor
 relations. Management of the Company believes the investments in sales and
 marketing will result in increased revenues and sales backlog beginning in
 the second half of fiscal 1996.

The Company anticipates that it will continue to invest in its marketing and
 sales generation strategy  (advertising, trade show, demonstration and 
proposal expenses and sales and marketing personnel with related payroll
 costs) to increase revenues and increase net income from operations in the
 future; such investment may adversely affect short-term operating performan
ce. 

Changes in interest expense are attributable to changes in average outstand
ing borrowings during the periods presented. Other income results from 
interest income on restricted cash and short-term securities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources; Certain Transactions

s.

Liquidity and Capital Resources; Certain Transactions

During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company's cash increased 
$177,390 principally due to the net proceeds from the issuance of common 
stock of $3.92 million, offset by cash used in operating activities of  
$1.89 million and the purchase of short-term investments of $1.33 million 
and property and equipment of $646,719.  The negative change in cash from 
operating acwith a higher average discount for demonstration and development
 systems and
 lower prices for the initial phase of orders from customers with multiple 
site deliveries over several months. Management of the Company

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $456,549 (85%) for
 the quarter and $890,305 (100%) for the six months ended June 30, 1996, as 
compared to the same 1995 periods. This increase related primarily to 
expenses, which were not incurred in the respective period in 1995 due to 
deficient working capital prior to its initial public offering of common 
stock in May of 1995, for additional (i) marketing costs (including 
advertising, trade show sales personnel and related payroll costs and; 
(iii) administrative expenses related to regulatory reporting and investor 
relations. Management of the Company believes the investments in sales and 
marketing will result in increased revenues and sales backlog beginning in 
the second half of fiscal 1996.

The Company anticipates that it will continue to invest in its marketing and
 sales generation strategy  (advertising, trade show, demonstration and 
proposal expenses and sales and marketing personnel with related payroll 
costs) to increase revenues and increase net income from operations in the 
future; such investment may adversely affect short-term operating performance. 

Changes in interest expense are attributable to changes in average 
outstanding borrowings during the periods presented. Other income results 
from interest income on restricted cash and short-term securities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources; Certain Transactions

s.
roperty. 

The Company has outstanding at June 30, 1996, 1,063,550 Redeemable Common 
Stock Purchase Warrants (the "Warrants") of the Company.  Each Warrant 
entitles the registered holder thereof to purchase, at any time during the
 period commencing on May 11, 1995, one share of Common Stock at a price of
 $5.00 per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, through
 May 11, 1998. The Warrants are not exercisable unless, at the time of 
exercise, the Company has a current prospectus covering the shares of C
med to be exempt under the securities laws of the states of residence of 
the exercising holders of the Warrants. Commencing after May 11, 1996, the
 Warrants are subject to redemption by the Company at $.25 per Warrant on 30
 days' prior written notice if the closing bid price for the Company's 
Common Stock, as reported on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market ("Nasdaq"), or the 
closing sale price as reported on a national or regional securities exchange,
 as applicable, for 30 consecutive trading days ending within 10 d
maintain an effective registration statement with respect to the Common 
Stock underlying the Warrants prior to redemption of the Warrants. 

In March  1996, the Company completed a Private Placement of 300,000 shares 
of  its Common Stock  under Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Act 
of 1933.  The transaction resulted in proceeds of $3.1 million for the Company.

On March 15, 1996 the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to
 enter into a financial public relations and financial consulting agreement 
with Goodbody International Inc. ("Goodbody"), pursuant to which Goodbody's 
compensation under the contract would be a three (3) year warrant to acquire
 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $15.00 
per share. On June 19, 1996, the Board authorized an amendment of  the agree
ment with Goodbody to extend the term for service and as
$12.00 for the common stock on that date.  

The Company believes that its working capital requirements will increase 
throughout 1996 and beyond.  The Company believes that currently available
 cash, proceeds from the exercise of Warrants and funds generated from 
operations, if any, further expansion of terms with trade creditors and the
 existing line of credit will be sufficient to satisfy its cash needs for 
the foreseeable future.  However, maintaining an adequate level of working 
capital through the end of 1996 and thereafter will depend in part on 
ontinued availability of memory and storage components at favorable pricing 
and the Company's ability to control operating expenses. The Company may 
seek or require additional financing for growth opportunities, including 
any expansion that the Company may undertake internally, through strategic
 acquisitions or partnerships or through expansion of additional sites.  
There can be no assurance that any such financing will be available on terms
 acceptable to the Company, if at all.
