                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (Unaudited)

1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the nine-month period ended March 31, 1996 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended June 30, 1996. For further information, refer to the financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended June 30, 1995.

The balance sheet at June 30, 1995 has been derived from the audited financial
statements at that date but does not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. See notes to condensed financial statements.

2.     BUSINESS ACQUISITION

On November 30, 1995, ACT Networks, Inc. and Canada Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of
Presticom Inc., a Canadian corporation ("Presticom"). Presticom is a developer
of multiple protocol frame relay access devices with expertise in the SNA
environment. The aggregate purchase price paid by the Company was approximately
$8,568,346 consisting of $7,287,495 paid in cash and the issuance of 176,365
shares of common stock of the Company with an estimated fair market value of
$1,289,851, representing a discount from the quoted market price at the date of
acquisition due to certain trading restrictions placed on the stock pursuant to
the agreement.

The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the acquired
assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair market values at
the date of acquisition. The purchase price plus costs directly attributable to
the completion of the acquisition have been allocated to the assets and
liabilities acquired. Approximately $5,600,000 of the total purchase price
represented the value of in-process research and development that had not yet
reached technological feasibility and was charged to the Company's operations.

The Company's consolidated results of operations include the operating results
of Presticom from the acquisition date. The following unaudited pro forma
information combines the consolidated results of operations of the Company and
Presticom as if the acquisition had occurred on July 1, 1995 and 1994.
Adjustments have been made to reflect the amortization of goodwill identified in
the purchase price allocation, the reduction in interest income earned or
increase in interest expense incurred due to the decrease in cash position or
increased borrowings resulting from the cash used as part of the acquisition
consideration, and the issuance of common stock as part of the acquisition
consideration. The pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes
only, and is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations
would have been during such periods or representative of future operations.

Quebec related to research and development expenditures made by its Canadian
subsidiary. These amounts are reflected as a reduction of research and
development expense in the Company's Statement of Operations. Amounts receivable
as of March 31, 1996 of such credits and grants amounted to $514,250. For the
nine months ended March 31, 1996, $78,400 of these credits and grants were
reflected as a reduction of research and development expense.

3.     NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding. Common equivalent shares from stock options
and warrants (using the modified treasury stock method) have been included in
the computation when dilutive. Pursuant to the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletins, all common and common equivalent
shares issued by the Company at an exercise price below the public offering
price during the twelve-month period prior to the offering (cheap stock) have
been included in the calculation as if they were outstanding for the nine months
ended March 31, 1995 (using the treasury stock method at the initial public
offering price per share and the if-converted method for convertible preferred
stock).

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

       This report contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ significantly from the
results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause
such difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the "Risk
Factors" section under "Other Information."

GENERAL

       ACT Networks, Inc. (the "Company") was founded in May 1987 to design,
manufacture and market wide area network communication products incorporating
advanced compression and integration technologies. Until September 1988, the
Company was primarily engaged in research and development. In fiscal 1989, the
Company shipped its first integrated product, the SDM-1, a point-to-point
multiplexer designed for use on a voice-band analog circuit. In fiscal 1991, the
Company began shipping the SDM-T, a point-to-point integrated multiplexer
designed for use over digital leased lines. The Company experienced significant
growth in net sales and first achieved profitability in fiscal 1991 as a result
of the market acceptance of its SDM-T product. In fiscal 1993, the Company
introduced the SDM-FP, its first integrated Frame Relay access product.

       On November 30, 1995, ACT Networks, Inc. and Canada Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of
Presticom Inc., a Canadian corporation ("Presticom"). Presticom is a developer
of multiple protocol frame relay access devices with expertise in the SNA
environment. The aggregate purchase price paid by the Company was approximately
$8,568,346 consisting of $7,287,495 paid in cash and the issuance of 176,365
shares of the Company's Common Stock. The acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase and, accordingly, the acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at
their estimated fair market values at the date of acquisition. The purchase
price plus costs directly attributable to the completion of the acquisition have
been allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired. Approximately $5,600,000
of the total purchase price represented the value of in-process research and
development that had not yet reached technological feasibility and was charged
to the Company's operations.

       The Company's future operating results will be dependent upon the
development and growth of the public and private wide area network
communications markets for its products and, in particular, its integrated Frame
Relay access products. Certain of these markets are currently emerging and may
not continue to develop, whether as a result of competition, technological
change, market forces or otherwise.

       The average sales price for each of the Company's products has tended to
decrease over time due to competition and other factors. The Company anticipates
that this trend will continue. Price erosion of existing products and the
introduction of less expensive networking alternatives by the Company or
competitors could adversely affect the Company's margins and results of
operations.

       Sales to customers outside the United States accounted for approximately
68%, 70% and 66% of the Company's net sales for the fiscal years ended June 30,
1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively, and approximately 56% for the nine months
ended March 31, 1996, and the Company expects that international sales will
continue to account for a significant portion of the Company's net sales in
future periods. In addition, the Company believes that a majority of its sales
to customers inside the United States represent sales of products which are used
or resold in markets outside the United States. International sales are subject
to certain inherent risks, including unexpected changes in regulatory
requirements and tariffs, problems and delays in collecting accounts receivable
and economic downturns in foreign markets. A significant number of the Company's
products are sold or installed in countries, including several in South America,
where political or economic issues could adversely affect the purchasing
decision of the customer. In addition, fluctuations in currency exchange rates
could cause the Company's products to become relatively more expensive to
customers in a particular country, leading to a reduction in sales or
profitability in that country.

       A small number of customers have historically accounted for a substantial
portion of the Company's net sales. The Company's five largest customers
accounted for approximately 45% and 43% of the Company's net sales for the
fiscal years ended June 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively, and approximately 49%
for the nine months ended March 31, 1996. Any reduction, delay or change in
orders from such customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business.

                                        8
<PAGE>   9
       The Company's operating results have in the past, and may in the future,
fluctuate from quarter to quarter as a result of a number of factors. The
Company's sales in a particular quarter are typically characterized by several
large orders and a large number of small orders, primarily from distributors.
While it is difficult for the Company to accurately forecast the timing and
quantity of orders on a quarter to quarter basis, the Company intends to
increase expenses with the expectation of future sales. The failure of the
Company to accurately forecast the timing and volume of orders for a quarter
would adversely affect the results of operations for such quarter and,
potentially, for future periods.

Net sales

         Net sales increased approximately 45% to $8.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 from $5.5 million for the corresponding period in
1995. The increase was primarily the result of shipments of the Company's Frame
Relay and OEM products. Frame Relay sales increased $1.2 million or 29% for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 over the corresponding period in 1995. Sales
of OEM products also increased $1.2 million primarily due to increased shipments
to one customer. Net sales of point-to-point products increased by approximately
$0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 over the corresponding
period in 1995. Net sales of products acquired as a result of the Presticom
acquisition totaled approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended March
31, 1996 and are included in the totals for Frame Relay and point-to-point
products.

         Net sales increased 30% to $19.3 million for the nine month ended March
31, 1996 from $14.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1995. This
increase was primarily due to increased sales of the Company's Frame Relay and
OEM products and, to a lesser extent, shipments of products acquired in the
Presticom acquisition which accounted for $1.2 million, or 26.7% of the increase
in net sales. Net sales of Frame Relay products were $12.2 million and $6.3
million for the nine month periods ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995,
respectively. Net sales of point to point products decreased to $3.0 million
from $7.3 million for the nine month periods ended March 31, 1996 and March 31,
1995, respectively. While the Company anticipated the continued decline of sales
of point-to-point products due primarily to the conversion of customers to Frame
Relay products, the decrease in such sales during the period was greater than
anticipated by the Company. Net sales of OEM products increased to $4.1 million
for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 from $1.2 million for the nine months
ended March 31, 1995. The increase in OEM shipments was primarily due to
unusually large orders received from one customer and the Company does not
anticipate this level of OEM sales to continue in the future.

Gross Profit

       Gross profit represents net sales less the cost of goods sold, which
includes cost of materials, manufacturing overhead costs and direct labor
expenses. The Company's gross profit was $4.3 million, or 54.1% of net sales,
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to $3.1 million, or 55.8% of
net sales, for the corresponding period in 1995. The decrease in gross margins
was primarily due to shipment of a higher percentage of OEM products.

       The Company's gross profit was $9.3 million, or 48.1% of net sales, for
the nine months ended March 31, 1996. The nine months ended March 31, 1996
included a $0.7 million charge for obsolete inventory that was taken to
recognize the decreased demand for certain point-to-point products. Gross
profit, not including this charge, was $10.0 million, or 51.7%, of net sales,
for the nine months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to 55.5% of net sales for
the comparable period in 1995. This decrease in gross profit as a percentage of
sales was primarily attributable to the change in product mix including
increased OEM sales and decreased sales of voice cards. The gross margins
generated from OEM product sales are considerably lower than those from Frame
Relay or point-to- point products. In the future, gross profit may be affected
by price competition, product mix, product configuration, changes in unit
volume, cost of components and manufacturing and other factors.

Operating Expenses

Research and development. Engineering and development expense increased 30.0% to
$1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from $1.0 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1995. These increases were primarily due to
increased personnel costs resulting from the addition of the Presticom
development team and the continued expansion required to maintain and develop
new products.

       Research and development expense increased to $3.6 million, or 18.4% of
net sales, for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 from $2.7 million, or 18.2%
of net sales, for the nine months ended March 31, 1995. These increases were
primarily attributable to the costs of personnel for the development of new
products and enhancement of existing products, which increased to approximately
$2.3 million from approximately $1.6 million during the preceding comparable
period. While the actual amount expended will depend upon a variety of factors,
the Company anticipates increasing research and development expenses in the near
term.

Sales and marketing. Sales and Marketing expense increased to $1.3 million, or
30.0% of net sales, for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 over the
corresponding period in 1995. This increase was primarily due to increased
personnel costs resulting from a 50% increase in sales and marketing personnel.

       Sales and marketing expense increased to $5.1 million, or 26.3% of net
sales, for the nine months ended March 31, 1995 from $3.4 million, or 22.8% of
net sales, for the nine months ended March 31, 1995. This dollar increase was
primarily attributable to the addition of personnel and increased marketing
activities. While actual amounts expended will depend upon a variety of factors,
the Company anticipates increasing sales and marketing expenses in the near
term.

General and administrative. General and administrative expense increased 119% to
$0.9 million for the three months period ended March 31, 1996 from $0.4 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1995. This increase was primarily due to
additional expenses incurred as a result of being a public company, in addition
to increased personnel and other costs associated with the Presticom facility in
Montreal, Canada.

       General and administrative expense increased to $2.3 million, or 12.0% of
net sales, for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 from $1.3 million, or 8.7%
of net sales, for the nine months ended March 31, 1995. This increase in expense
levels was primarily attributable to the addition of administrative personnel
and additional expenses incurred as a result of being a public company.

       The Company expects to continue to expand its operations, resulting in
dollar increases in each category of operating expenses. The Company's operating
results and net income will be adversely affected to the extent that net sales
and gross profits do not increase sufficiently to offset such increased
expenses.

                                       10
<PAGE>   11
Net interest and other income (expense)

       Net interest income was approximately $0.3 million for the three months
period ended March 31, 1996 and $0.9 million for the nine months period ended
March 31, 1996 compared to net interest expense of approximately $0.1 million in
both of the corresponding periods in 1995. This change was primarily
attributable to interest received on the proceeds from the Company's public
offering in May 1995.

Income Taxes

       There was no provision for income taxes for the nine month periods ended
March 31, 1995, and the provision for March 31, 1996, totaled $0.1 million.
Subject to certain limitations, the Company has a research and development tax
credit carryforward and federal and state operating loss due to net operating
loss carryforwards, a portion of which it expects to apply against its income
tax liability for 1996. If the Company generates profits, the net operating loss
carryforwards and research and development tax credit carryforward will be
utilized and the Company's effective tax rates will increase.

       The Company adopted the provisions of the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," effective July 1,
1993. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       The Company has funded its operations primarily from the sale of
preferred stock and Common Stock, borrowings from investors, borrowings under a
bank facility and sales of the Company's products. Proceeds, net of offering
costs, from sales of preferred stock were $2.6 million and $2.1 million for the
fiscal years ended June 30, 1993 and 1994, respectively. Net proceeds from the
sale of Common Stock in the Company's initial public offering in May 1995 were
$33.8 million. For the nine months ended March 31, 1996, the Company's operating
activities used cash of approximately $5.6 million. At March 31, 1996, the
Company had approximately $30.7 million in working capital, including $10.3
million in cash.

       Capital expenditures relating primarily to the purchase of computer
equipment, test equipment, computer software and leasehold improvements amounted
to approximately $1.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1996. The
Company currently has no material commitments for capital expenditures. However,
the Company anticipates spending between $2.0 million and $3.0 million during
the next 12 months to acquire test equipment, computer equipment, office
furniture, tooling and leasehold improvements.

       On November 30, 1995, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary,
acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Presticom. The aggregate
purchase was approximately $8.5 million which consisted of $7,287,495 in cash
and 176,365 in shares of the Company's Common Stock. In connection with the
acquisition, the Company took a one-time in-process research and development
charge to operations of $5.6 million.

       In March 1993, May 1994 and March 1995, the Company entered into
agreements (the "Loan Agreements") with Silicon Valley Bank (the "Bank"), which
provided for two revolving credit facilities and a term loan secured by a
blanket lien on all of the Company's assets. Under the two revolving credit
facilities, the Company may borrow up to the lesser of $1.5 million or a total
of (i) 90% of the net amount of the Company's approved accounts receivable owing
from customers outside the United States plus (ii) 70% of the value of the
Company's inventory held for export outside the United States, provided that
such borrowings are guaranteed by the Export-Import Bank of the United States.
Alternatively, borrowings under the facilities may be made up to the lesser of
$3.0 million or 75% of the net amount of the Company's accounts receivable from
customers within the United States. The Bank may also issue up to $500,000 in
letters of credit for the account of the Company. The amount available for
borrowing under the revolving credit facilities is reduced by the aggregate
amount of such Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time. In no event may
the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all loans made to the Company
under the Loan Agreements exceed $3.0 million.

       The Loan Agreements also require the Company to maintain certain
financial ratios and limit the Company's ability to incur additional debt, to
repurchase the Company's stock and to pay dividends. The Company is currently in
compliance with all such financial ratios and covenants. As of March 31, 1996,
the Company had no outstanding balance under its revolving credit facilities and
under its term loan. As of March 31, 1996, an aggregate of $3.0 million was
available under the Loan Agreements. The Company believes that available cash,
together with 

                                       11
<PAGE>   12
amounts available under its credit facilities and cash flow from operation, will
be sufficient to meet its normal operating and capital requirements through at
least March 31, 1997.
