                        Report of Independent Accountants


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Videonics, Inc.:


In our opinion,  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of operations, of shareholder's equity and of cash flows
present fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial position of Videonics,
Inc.  and its  subsidiaries  at December  31, 1998 and 1997,  and the results of
their  operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended  December 31, 1998,  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.  These financial  statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management;  our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements  based on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis,  evidence  supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial
statements,  assessing the accounting  principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion  expressed
above.

(1)  Options granted in this table have exercise prices equal to the fair market
     value of the Company's  Common Stock on the date of grant. All such options
     typically  become  exercisable  at a rate of 1/8 after  the first  full six
     months of employment,  and 1/8 every six months thereafter for a total four
     year vesting period following the date of grant.

(2)  The  Company  granted  options to purchase a total of  1,503,246  shares of
     Common Stock to employees  and  Directors in 1998.  Included in the options
     granted are  989,222 of options  that were  issued in  connection  with the
     Company's repricing on June 24, 1998.

(3)  Options  were  issued  in  connection  with the  Company's  June  24,  1998
     repricing. Repriced options will follow the vesting of the original vesting
     schedule for the options they replaced, except options will remain unvested
     until  June  24,  1999 at which  time  vesting  of new  options  will  vest
     according to the original option vesting schedule.

(4)  Mr.  Kamath's  grant of 320,000  shares were issued in accordance  with his
     employment agreement.

(5)  Potential  realizable value assumes that the stock price increases from the
     date of grant  until the end of the  option  term (10  years) at the annual
     rate  specified  (0%,  5%,  10%).  Annual  compounding   results  in  total
     appreciation of 63% (at 5% per year) and 159% (at 10% per year). The 5% and
     10% assumed rates of appreciation (over the deemed fair market value at the
     grant  date) are  mandated  by the  rules of the  Securities  and  Exchange
     Commission and do not represent the Company's estimate or projection of the
     future growth of the price of the Company's Common Stock.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

         In February 1996, the Company entered into an employment agreement with
Mr. Peters, pursuant to which he presently receives a base salary of $98,000 per
year, plus a guaranteed  bonus of $42,000 the first year,  $38,000 in the second
year,  and $34,000 in the third year.  In  addition,  Mr.  Peters is eligible to
receive an incentive  bonus, in his second and third years of employment,  based
on  performance.  Pursuant to this  agreement,  Mr. Peters received an option to
purchase 50,004 shares of the Company's Common Stock under the Stock Option Plan
at an  exercise  price of $7.50 per share  which  vests  over three  years.  The
agreement  provides  that if Mr.  Peters is  terminated  within one year after a
merger or buyout,  his shares will be fully vested and he will receive one years
severance  pay. Mr. Peters  resigned as the Company's Vice President of Research
and Development on March 5, 1999.

         In November 1997, the Company entered into an employment agreement with
Dr.  Kamath,  pursuant to which he presently  receives a base salary of $150,000
per year, with a guaranteed bonus of $5,000 for 1997. In addition, Dr. Kamath is
eligible to receive an incentive bonus in 1998 based on performance. Pursuant to
this agreement,  Dr. Kamath received  options to purchase  320,000 shares of the
Company's  Common Stock.  These  options were granted by the Company's  Board of
Directors  on March 23,  1998,  at fair  market  value,  and will vest over four
years. The agreement  provides that if Dr. Kamath is terminated  within one year
after a merger or buyout,  his shares will be fully  vested and he will  receive
one years severance pay.


REMUNERATION OF NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

         The Company does not  compensate  non-employee  directors  who are also
major  shareholders,  such as Mr. Berg, for their services.  Other  non-employee
directors,  such as Mr. Jasper, receive $500 for each board meeting attended. In
addition, non-employee directors (other than non-employee directors who are also
major shareholders),  serving on the Company's Board of Directors on August 31st
of each year will be granted nonstatutory stock options to purchase 4,504 shares
of the Company's  Common Stock.  During 1998,  Mr.  Jasper  received  options to
purchase  9,008 shares of the  Company's  Common Stock  representing  director's
options for 1997 and 1998.


REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE WITH RESPECT TO EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

         The Compensation  Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee")
was  established on October 27, 1994. The functions of the Committee are to make
recommendations to the Board concerning salaries and incentive  compensation for
the Company's executive officers.

         The Company's executive  compensation  program has been designed to (i)
attract  and  retain  executives  capable  of  leading  the  Company to meet its
business objectives and to motivate them to enhance long-term  shareholder value
through compensation that is comparable to the levels offered by other companies
in similar industries; (ii) motivate key executive officers to achieve strategic
business initiatives and reward them for their achievement;  and (iii) align the
interests  of  executives   with  the  long-term   interests  of  the  Company's
shareholders  through  award  opportunities  resulting  in the  ownership of the
Company's Common Stock. Annual compensation for the Company's

                                       11
<PAGE>

executive  officers may consist of three elements:  cash salary,  cash incentive
bonus,  and stock option grants.  Stock option grants provide an incentive which
focuses the  executive's  attention on managing the Company from the perspective
of an owner with an equity  stake in the  business.  These  stock  options  will
generally  provide value to the  recipient  only when the price of the Company's
stock increases above the option grant price.

         The  Committee  recognizes  that the salary  paid to Mr.  D'Addio,  the
Company's Chief Executive Officer, is substantially below that paid to others in
comparable  positions of similar companies.  The Committee  increased the annual
salary of Mr. D'Addio,  the Company's CEO to $150,000 in 1997 from $92,000.  Mr.
D'Addio had declined salary  increases  recommended by the Committee since 1994.
The  Committee   recognizes   that  Mr.   D'Addio's   current  salary  is  still
significantly below the salary of CEO's in comparable public companies, however,
Mr. D'Addio declined any additional increase.

         During 1999, it is  anticipated  that the Committee will conduct annual
performance  reviews  comparing  actual Company  progress  against annual plans.
Elements of such plans,  including  progress on product  development,  sales and
marketing, expense control and organizational development, may be considered.

COMPENSATION  COMMITTEE  INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER  PARTICIPATION  IN  COMPENSATION
DECISIONS

         The Compensation Committee consists of Messrs. Berg and Jasper, neither
of  whom  is  employed  by the  Company.  There  are no  Compensation  Committee
interlocks  between the  Company  and other  entities  involving  the  Company's
executive  officers and Board  members who serve as  executive  officers of such
entities.

the  Company  is  being  sought  nor is the  Company  aware  of any  pending  or

director, officer, employee or other agents.

President of Research and  Development of the Company.  The loan had an interest

2000.  The loan was secured by a deed of trust on Mr.  Peters' home in Saratoga,
California.  As of December 31,  1998,  the loan had been repaid in full and the
security interest in Mr. Peters' home was released.

a  director  and  shareholder  of the  Company.  This  loan,  in the  amount  of
$1,000,000,  bears  interest  at 8% per year,  and is due on October  16,  1999.
Accrued  interest is payable on a quarterly  basis. Mr. Berg has agreed that, at
