Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial information of the Company is prepared in accordance
with the rules prescribed for filing condensed interim financial statements and,
accordingly, does not include all disclosures that may be necessary for complete
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The disclosures presented are sufficient, in management's opinion,
to make the interim information presented not misleading. All adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary so as to make
the interim information not misleading, have been made. Results of operations
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of
results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
2000. It is recommended that this financial information be read with the
complete financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999 previously filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.


Per Share Information

As of December 31, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which specifies the method of
computation, presentation and disclosure for earnings per share. SFAS No. 128
requires the presentation of two earnings per share amounts, basic and diluted.

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the average
number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of outstanding
stock options using the "treasury stock" method.

The basic and diluted earnings per share are the same since the Company had a
net loss for all periods presented and the inclusion of stock options and other
incremental shares would be antidilutive. Options and warrants to purchase
1,795,045 and 1,669,833 shares of common stock at March 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share
because the Company had a net loss and their effect would be antidilutive.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 1999

     Net Revenues. For three months ended March 31, 2000 net sales were $369,458
versus $277,821 in the same period of the prior year. The rise in revenues is
primarily attributed to increased marketing efforts resulting in the acquisition
of ISP accounts from Micronet Services, Inc. The Company believes that revenues
will continue to increase as marketing plans are executed that focus on
increasing brand recognition and differentiation of service offerings (i.e.,
Internet access, web site development and electronic commerce), and by entering
into agreements with or acquiring other Internet related companies.

     Operating Expenses. For three months ended March 31, 2000, total operating
expenses were $743,969 versus $482,701 in the same period of the prior year.
This increase of $261,268 is primarily attributed to higher network lines,
salary, and amortization costs. The increase in amortization costs of
approximately $39,000 is attributed to the fourth quarter 1999 acquisition of
MicroNet Services, Inc. The increase in network lines expense of approximately
$85,000 is primarily due to network upgrades and increased network usage. The
Company believes that operating expenses will increase as revenues increase.

     Operating Loss. The Company's operating loss for the period ending March
31, 2000 totaled $374,511 versus $204,880 in 1999. This increase of $169,631 is
due to an increase in total operating expenses. Management believes that
operating results will improve as revenues increase.

     Interest income. Net interest income totaled $6,303 for the period ending
March 31, 2000 versus net interest income of $30,027 in 1999.

     Other income. Net other income for the three months ended March 31, 2000
was $0 versus $105,000 for the same period in 1999. The 1999 total of $105,000
was due to collection of a note receivable which was previously written off as
uncollectable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the three months ended March 31,2000, the Company used $373,664 of cash for
operating activities. The Company has working capital of $295,312 at March 31,
2000 which is a decrease of $259,356 from December 31, 1999. As of March 31,
2000, the Company had $720,946 in cash and cash equivalents and total
liabilities of $569,606.

On February 22, 2000, the Company executed a letter of intent with an
Underwriter to offer 800,000 shares of the Company's common stock at
approximately $6.25 per share on a firm commitment basis. The Company will also
grant the Underwriter an option to purchase an additional 120,000 shares from
the Company to cover over-allotments for a period of forty-five days from the
effective date of the registration Statement. The Company and the Underwriter
have agreed to delay the public offering for an indeterminate period of time.

The Underwriter has also agreed to act as placement agent for a minimum $250,000
bridge financing on a best efforts basis prior to the public offering described
above. The bridge financing is to be in the form of units containing promissory
notes with interest at 10%. In addition, each $25,000 unit will contain 4,000
shares of the Company's common stock. The promissory notes will be due at the
closing of the above public offering or one year from the date of issuance,
whichever occurs first. The Underwriter will be paid a 10% commission and a 3%
non-accountable expense allowance and warrants to purchase up to 10% of the
common stock issuable as part of the units at an exercise price equal to 120% of
the closing price of the common stock on the day prior to closing.

Part II. Other Information

Item 5.  Other Information


ProtoSource is presently considering two alternative business combinations.
First, ProtoSource is in active discussions with a significantly larger private
company engaged in the development and sale of business-to-business internet
software solutions for the industrial plant and process design market. This
company has invested $2.5m into the development of an online marketplace and
application services portal as a means through which to fully leverage the
benefits of business-to-business e-commerce for the industrial power and process
markets. Although no terms have been finalized, it is contemplated that this
profitable company would become the majority stockholder of ProtoSource.

ProtoSource has also obtained an option to purchase all of the outstanding stock
of Suncoast Automation, Inc. ("Suncoast"), a private company engaged in
providing customized cable television systems for vacation time-share resorts
and planned communities. ProtoSource was granted the option in connection with a
loan to Suncoast in the aggregate amount of $500,000. The loan will be secured
by a lien on a substantial majority of Suncoast's capital stock.
