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 nine months ended September 30, 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

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 weighted average number of
common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis
of the weighted 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
2,021,595 and 1,669,833 shares of common stock at September 30, 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 September 30, 2000 vs. Three Months ended September 30, 1999

     Net Revenues. For three months ended September 30, 2000 net sales were
$436,675 versus $237,021 in the same period of the prior year. The increase in
revenues of $199,654 is primarily attributed to acquisition of ISP accounts from
Micronet Services, Inc. (approximately $86,930), completed web development
projects (approximately $35,026), outsourced technical support (approximately
$27,299), DSL (approximately $13,961) and cable services revenue of Suncoast
Automation ($32,447). The Company believes that revenues will continue to
increase as marketing plans are executed that focus on DSL, Web development and
outsourcing technical support for other ISP's, and once additional capital is
raised, installing cable TV systems in timeshare resorts (comprising
approximately 3,500 units) already contracted by Suncoast Automation.

     Operating Expenses. For three months ended September 30, 2000, total
operating expenses were $1,853,650 versus $641,578 in the same period of the
prior year. This increase of $1,212,072 is attributed to the operating expenses
of Suncoast Automation during August and September ($200,340), salary costs
(approximately $81,125), an investor relations contract executed in August 2000
(approximately $141,181), impairment of our investment in Infosis ($561,161 as
discussed in the Liquidity and Capitalization section) and amortization costs
($235,851). The increase in amortization costs is primarily attributed to the
amortization of the goodwill (approximately $39,001) from the MicroNet
acquisition in late 1999 and amortization of the goodwill (approximately
$196,850) from the Suncoast Automation acquisition in August 2000. The increase
in cost of revenues ($81,035) is a result of an increase in network line expense
of $40,834 which is primarily due to network upgrades and increased network
usage, and the cost of revenues for Suncoast Automation ($40,201). The Company
believes that recurring operating expenses will increase as revenues increase
but will decrease as a percentage of revenue.

     Operating Loss. The Company's operating loss for the period ending
September 30, 2000 totaled $1,416,975 versus $404,557 in 1999. This increase of
$1,012,418 is due to an increase in total operating expenses as described above.
Management believes that operating results will improve as revenues increase.

     Interest income. Net interest expense totaled $468,845 for the period
ending September 30, 2000 versus net interest income of $12,344 in 1999. The
increase in interest expense is a result of interest expense associated with the
bridge loans completed in May 2000 and the amortization of debt issuance costs
incurred with these bridge loans.

$1,187,820 versus $759,708 in the same period of the prior year. The increase of
$428,112 in revenues is attributed to acquisition of ISP accounts from MicroNet
Services, Inc. (approximately $289,816), outsourced technical support
(approximately $38,323), completed web development projects (approximately
$67,726) and cable services revenues from Suncoast Automation ($32,447). The

     Operating Expenses. For nine months ended September 30, 2000, total
operating expenses were $3,349,972 versus $1,675,395 in the same period of the
prior year. This increase of $1,674,577 is attributed to the operating expenses
of Suncoast Automation during August and September ($200,340), salary costs
(approximately $243,375), an investor relations contract executed in August 2000
(approximately $141,181), impairment of our investment in Infosis ($561,161 as
discussed in the Liquidity and Capitalization section) and amortization costs
($313,853). The increase in amortization costs is primarily attributed to the
amortization of the goodwill (approximately $117,003) from the MicroNet
acquisition in late 1999 and amortization of the goodwill (approximately
$196,850) from the Suncaost Automation acquisition in August 2000. The increase
in cost of revenues of $252,605 is comprised of increased network line expense
of approximately $212,404 which is due to network upgrades and increased network
usage and to the cost of revenues for Suncoast Automation ($40,201). The Company
believes that operating expenses will increase as revenues increase but will
decrease as a percentage of revenue.

     Operating Loss. The Company's operating loss for the period ending
September 30, 2000 totaled $2,162,152 versus $915,687 in 1999. This increase of
$1,246,465 is due to an increase in total operating expenses. Management
believes that operating results will improve as revenues increase.

     Interest income. Net interest expense totaled $843,816 for the period
ending September 30, 2000 versus net interest income of $57,253 in 1999. The
increase in interest expense is a result of interest expense associated with the
bridge loans completed in May 2000 and the amortization of debt issuance costs

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company used $932,432 of cash
for operating activities. The Company has a working capital deficit of
$1,621,322 at September 30, 2000 which is a decrease of $2,157,320 from December
31, 1999. As of September 30, 2000, the Company had $240,783 in cash and cash
equivalents and total liabilities of $2,644,801.

     On April 30, 1999, we entered into strategic alliances with and purchased
12.7%, on a non-diluted basis, of the outstanding common stock of Infosis Corp.,
a privately held corporation. We paid an aggregate of $1.8 million for 600,000
shares of Infosis common stock. At the time of the purchase, the $1.8 million
payment represented 51.1% of our available cash. 30,000 of the purchased shares
were paid to Andrew, Alexander, Wise & Co., Inc., as a finder's fee. After
payment of the 30,000 shares of Infosis common stock to AAWC, we owned 570,000
shares of Infosis common stock.

     In January 2000, Infosis issued ProtoSource 120,000 shares of its common
stock as an adjustment to reflect a lower offering price per share in a
concluded private placement of their common stock, which brought ProtoSource's
holdings of Infosis to 690,000 shares.

     In July 2000, we purchased an $84,177 convertible promissory note from
Infosis in connection with a bridge financing.

     In September 2000, ProtoSource acquired an aggregate of $329,686 principal
amount of Infosis convertible promissory notes at $0.05 on the dollar for a
total acquisition price of $16,484. These convertible promissory notes were then
converted into 329,686 shares of preferred stock of Infosis. Concurrently with
the acquisition of the Infosis promissory notes by ProtoSource, Infosis merged
into P2i, Inc, a privately held corporation. As a result of this merger,
ProtoSource now has a 4.5% interest in P2i, Inc. Based on our re-evaluation of
this investment, we have incurred an impairment expense of $561,161 in this
quarter to write down the investment to its estimated market value at September
30, 2000.

     In September 2000, we executed a letter of intent with an underwriter to
offer 600,000 units of our securities at approximately $13.50 per unit on a firm
commitment basis. We will also grant the underwriter an option to purchase an
additional 90,000 units from us to cover over-allotments for a period of
forty-five days from the effective date of the registration statement.

     Andrew, Alexander, Wise & Co., Inc. acted as placement agent for $1,500,000
of bridge financing completed in May 2000. The short-term financing was in the
form of units containing promissory notes with interest at 10%. In addition,
each $25,000 unit consisted of 4,000 shares of our 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. Andrew, Alexander, Wise & Co.,
Inc. was paid a 10% commission and a 3% non-accountable expense allowance and
was issued 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.

     In connection with this bridge financing, we incurred debt issuance costs
of approximately $1,722,500. The debt issuance cost is being amortized over the
one-year term of the loan.

     On August 22, 2000, we acquired all the outstanding common stock of
Suncoast Automation, Inc. in exchange for 1,303,072 shares of our common stock.
In addition, we will deposit 1,000,000 shares of our common stock with an escrow
agent. Over the twenty-seven months following the effective date of
ProtoSource's stock offering, Suncoast's shareholders may earn some or all of
these shares based upon meeting the following criteria: 500,000 shares will be
released when Suncoast installs 19,000 subscribers/rooms and achieves $1,300,000
in cumulative cash flow. The balance of the shares will be released in 10%
increments for each additional increment of 1900 subscribers/rooms and $190,000
in cumulative cash flow added. Suncoast builds, upgrades and maintains cable TV
systems as well as managing programming for the timeshare industry. Suncoast has
developed an interactive system that delivers basic cable TV, premium channel
packages and high-speed Internet access to this market segment. Currently,
Suncoast Automation has approximately 3,700 rooms under contract with two
separate timeshare owners. Additional capital will need to be raised to install
Suncoast's interactive cable TV system in these rooms.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

     The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin (SAB) 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, in December
1999. The SAB summarizes certain of the SEC staff's views in applying generally
accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements.
In June 2000, the SEC issued SAB 101B, which delays the implementation of 101
until no later than the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1999. The Company does not believe that adoption of this SAB will
have a material impact on its financial statements.

In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
interpretation (FIN) 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensation, which clarifies the application of APB 25 for certain issues. The
Interpretation is effective July 1, 2000, except for provisions that relate to
modifications that directly or indirectly reduce the exercise price of an award
and the definition of an employee, which are effective after December 15, 1998.
The Company does not believe that adoption of FIN 44 will have a material impact
on its financial statements.
