                                   ---------

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 instructions to
        Form 10-QSB 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 considered necessary for a
        fair presentation of the financial position and the results of
        operations for the interim period have been included.  The interim
        financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
        financial statements and notes thereto in the Company's Registration
        Statement on Form SB-2 (File No. 333-20625), as amended, as filed with
        the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of
        1933, as amended.  Certain financial statement items have been
        reclassified to the current periods' format.

2.      Capital Stock

        Common Stock

                 During April 1997, the Company issued 2,070,000 shares of
        common stock, par value $.01 (the "Common Stock") for approximately
        $9.5 million in proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions
        and certain other expenses of the offering.  The issuance of these
        shares was pursuant to an initial public offering at a price of $5.50
        per share.  The net proceeds of the initial public offering were used
        primarily to repay certain outstanding notes payable and to fund the
        continued research and development and the working capital deficiencies
        of the Company.  In connection with the initial public offering, all of
        the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
        Stock were converted into Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.

                 During January 1997, the Company executed a warrant exchange
        agreement with investors who purchased Common Stock and received
        warrants through the Company's financial advisory firm during 1995 and
        1996.  The purpose of the warrant exchange was to induce such investors
        to enter into lock-up arrangements with the underwriter of the
        Company's initial public offering (the "Underwriter") and into
        agreements consolidating such investors' registration rights with those
        granted by the Company to other investors, and to provide those
        investors with the opportunity to invest in the Company upon terms and
        conditions that more closely reflect the terms and conditions upon
        which the other investors invested in the Company during a comparable
        time period.  As a result of the warrant exchange, the Company issued
        165,267 shares of Common Stock.  The fair market value of such shares
        was reflected in the first quarter of 1997 in a non-cash compensation
        expense of $340,166 and a direct charge to equity of $320,902 as a cost
        of equity financing.

                                   ---------

        Additionally, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 165,269
        shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $4.00 per share and
        retired warrants for the purchase of 330,536 shares of Common Stock.

        Warrants

                 In April 1997, in connection with the initial public offering,
        certain holders of warrants issued in connection with the bridge
        financings in October and November 1996 surrendered such warrants to
        acquire an aggregate of 150,000 shares of Common Stock.  The surrender
        and cancellation of such warrants did not have any other effect on the
        bridge financings, nor did the  Company pay any consideration in
        connection with such surrender.

3.      Net Loss Per Share

                 Net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of
        common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during
        the periods presented.  Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission
        requirements, Common Stock issued and options and warrants to purchase
        shares of Common Stock granted by the Company during the twelve months
        preceding the initial filing date of the Registration Statement have
        been included in the calculation of weighted average common shares and
        common share equivalents outstanding for the three months and six
        months ended June 30, 1996.  Options and warrants issued by the Company
        prior to the aforementioned twelve-month period have not been included
        in the calculation for any of the periods presented because the effects
        of such items were anti-dilutive.  Options and warrants outstanding
        have not been included in the calculation of weighted average common
        shares and common share equivalents outstanding for the three months
        and six months ended June 30, 1997, because the effects of these items
        were anti-dilutive.

                 In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
        issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.  128, "Earnings
        per Share" (FAS 128).  FAS 128 simplifies the existing earnings per
        share (EPS) computations under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
        15, "Earnings Per Share" (APB 15), revises disclosure requirements, and
        increases the comparability of EPS data on an international basis.  In
        simplifying the EPS computations, the presentation of primary EPS is
        replaced with basic EPS, with the principal difference being that
        common stock equivalents are not considered in computing basic EPS.  In
        addition, FAS 128 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS.
        FAS 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending
        after December 15, 1997.

                                   ---------

        The Company does not expect the EPS amounts calculated under FAS 128 to
        be materially different from the amounts presented in the financial
        statements under APB 15.

4.      Income taxes

                 The Company has not recorded a provision for income taxes for
        the three months and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 based on
        the fact that the Company has generated net operating losses during
        each of those periods.  The Company has recorded a full valuation
        allowance against the net deferred tax asset generated primarily from
        its net operating loss carryforwards.

5.      Accounting Standards

                 The Financial Accounting Standard Board recently issued
        Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 130, "Reporting
        Comprehensive Income."  This Statement requires that changes in
        comprehensive income be shown in a financial statement that is
        displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.  The
        Statement will become effective for fiscal years beginning after
        December 15, 1997.  The Company will adopt the new standard beginning
        in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 1998.

                 In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued
        Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131, "Disclosures about
        Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS No. 131).
        SFAS No. 131 specifies new guidelines for determining a company's
        operating segments and related requirements for disclosure.  The
        Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new standard
        on the presentation of the financial statements and the disclosures
        therein.  The Statement will become effective for fiscal years
        beginning after December 15, 1997.  The Company will adopt the new
        standard for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1998.

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

                 Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form
        10-QSB, other than historical financial information, constitute
        "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
        Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  All such forward-looking
        statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties or other
        factors which may cause actual results, performance or achievement of
        the Company to be materially different from any future results,
        performance or achievement expressed or implied by such forward-looking
        statements.  Factors that might cause such a difference include risks
        and uncertainties related to the Company's dependence on the emerging
        market for video broadcast, retrieval and conferencing, development of
        additional products, protection of its intellectual property, limited
        marketing experience, limited number of customers, and need for
        additional personnel, as well as risks and uncertainties associated
        with the Company's growth strategy, technological changes affecting the
        Company and competitive factors affecting the Company.

                 The following discussion should be read in conjunction with
        the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this
        Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB.

        Overview

                 The Company was incorporated in October 1993 to develop and
        produce products and systems to support new communications devices that
        make extensive use of broadband networks and transmit high-quality
        video and audio and high-speed data.  The Company's operations to date
        have related primarily to organizational activities, including research
        and development for its initial products, including the VidPhone(R)
        system, recruiting management and technical personnel and raising
        capital.  Currently, the Company expects to complete development of the
        VidPhone(R) system and begin commercial production and installation of
        the first units in late 1997.

                 To date, the Company has not generated substantial revenues
        from the sale of its products and services.  As of June 30, 1997, the
        Company had cumulative losses of $8.7 million.  The Company expects to
        incur additional operating losses for the foreseeable future.  Through
        June 30, 1997, the Company's operations have been funded primarily
        through public and private sales of debt and equity securities.

                 In April 1997, the Company received net proceeds of
        approximately $9.5 million, including the exercise in full of the
        over-allotment option granted to the underwriter (net of underwriting
        discounts and commissions and other expenses) from the issuance of 2.07
        million shares of Common Stock at $5.50 per share, from the Company's
        initial public offering ("Initial Offering").  Approximately $2.1 
        million of the gross proceeds of the Initial Offering were used to 
        retire outstanding indebtedness under the promissory notes issued in the
        private placement of warrants and debt during October and November 1996
        (the "Bridge Financing").  The remainder of the net proceeds of the
        Initial Offering have been used to fund the Company's sales and
        marketing and product development efforts, for working capital and for
        general corporate purposes.

                 Based on its needs to rapidly expand its technical and
        administrative staff and the difficulty in finding qualified technical
        staff in northern Virginia, the Company began to implement a plan to
        relocate the Company's headquarters, research and development,
        engineering and manufacturing facilities to a new location in
        Portsmouth, New Hampshire.  The Company intends to retain a sales
        office in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and to hire
        additional sales personnel for the New Hampshire facility.  The Company
        anticipates that the move will be completed during fourth quarter 1997.

                 In July 1997, the Company and Sprint Communications
        Corporation, L.P. ("Sprint") entered into a one-year agreement whereby
        Sprint will use its best efforts to resell the Company's video
        networking products worldwide.  The Company does not anticipate that it
        will generate revenues from this agreement until first quarter 1998.

                 
                 In August 1997, the Company formally introduced EVS-50(TM),
        its integrated video communications network server, at a product 
        launch in New York.  The Company also held other product launches for 
        the EVS-50(TM) in San Francisco, Boston and Washington, D.C. during 
        July and August 1997.    

                 The Company expects to continue to incur substantial operating
        expenses in the future to support its research and development costs,
        expand its sales and marketing capabilities and organization, expand
        its work force and for other general and administrative expenses.  The
        Company's results of operations may vary significantly from quarter to
        quarter during this period.

        Results of Operations

        Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996

                 The Company had no revenues in the three months ended June 30,
        1997 compared to revenues of approximately $14,000 in the same period
        in 1996.  The revenues recorded in 1996 were generated from consulting
        arrangements, not from the Company's primary business.  In 1997, the
        Company devoted all of its resources to the development, production,
        and sale of the VidPhone(R) system and related software products.

                 Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by
        approximately $554,000, or 213%, in the three months ended June 30,
        1997 to approximately $814,000 from $260,000 in the three months ended
        June 30, 1996.  Sales and marketing costs have increased in preparation
        for the introduction of the Company's products to the marketplace,
        primarily increased travel and sales materials expenses.  Legal,
        accounting, personnel and insurance expenses have increased as a result
        of the Company becoming a publicly-traded company.

                 Research and development expenses increased by approximately
        $593,000, or 213%, for the three months ended June 30, 1997, to
        approximately $871,000 as compared to $278,000 for the three months
        ended June 30, 1996.  The increase was due primarily to the hiring of
        additional technical staff and increased use of subcontractors in the
        development of components of the Company's VidPhone(R) system.
        Research and development





                                       9

        expenses include the costs associated with all personnel, materials and
        contract personnel engaged in research and development for the Company,
        as well as an allocated portion of overhead expenses, such as rent,
        telephone and office supplies.

                 The Company intends to accelerate and expand research and
        development by hiring additional technical staff and purchasing
        additional research and development related material.  As the Company
        continues testing and demonstrating its product line, the Company
        expects research and development expenses to increase.

                 Depreciation and amortization increased approximately $191,000
        to $213,000 in the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $22,000 in the
        three months ended June 30, 1996.  During the period the Company
        charged to amortization expense $145,000 of capitalized debt issuance
        costs upon the repayment of the debt from the proceeds of the Initial
        Offering.  To a lesser extent, depreciation on increased levels of
        fixed assets owned by the Company also contributed to the increase.

                 Net interest expense increased by approximately $217,000 to
        approximately $218,000 in the three months ended June 30, 1997 from
        approximately $1,000 in the three months ended June 30, 1996.  Net
        interest expense for the period consisted of approximately $244,000 of
        interest expense offset by approximately $27,000 in interest income.
        Interest expense included a write-off of approximately $190,000 of
        unamortized debt discount representing the fair value of warrants
        issued to holders of bridge notes issued in connection with the Bridge
        Financing.  Interest income was earned during the period ended June 30,
        1997 primarily on the invested proceeds of the Company's Initial
        Offering completed in early April 1997.

                 As a result of the foregoing factors, the net loss increased 
        by approximately $1.6 million, or 283%, to approximately $2.1 million 
        for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from approximately $553,000 
        during the three months ended June 30, 1996.

        Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996

                 The Company had no revenues in the six months ended June 30,
        1997 compared to revenues of approximately $20,000 in the same period
        in 1996.  The revenues recorded in l996 were generated from consulting
        arrangements, not from the Company's primary business.  In 1997, the
        Company devoted all of its resources to the development, production,
        and sale of the VidPhone(R) system and related software products.

                 Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by
        approximately $956,000, or 184%, in the six months ended June 30, 1997
        to approximately $1.5 million from $520,000 in the six months ended
        June 30, 1996.  Included in administrative expenses for the six month
        period is approximately $340,000 in non-recurring compensation expense
        associated with a warrant exchange conducted in January 1997.  The
        remaining increase is mainly attributable to increased sales and
        marketing expenses as the Company prepares to commercially market its
        VidPhone(R) products and in increased administrative expenses
        associated with becoming a public company in the second quarter of
        1997.





                                       10

                 Research and development expenses increased by approximately
        $766,000, or 136%, for the six months ended June 30, 1997, to
        approximately $1.3 million as compared to $565,000 for the period ended
        June 30, 1996.  The increase was due primarily to the hiring of
        additional technical staff and increased use of subcontractors in the
        development of components of the Company's Vidphone(R) system.
        Research and development expenses include the costs associated with all
        personnel, materials and contract personnel engaged in research and
        development for the Company, as well as an allocated portion of
        overhead expenses, such as rent, telephone and office supplies.

                 The Company intends to accelerate and expand research and
        development by hiring additional technical staff and purchasing
        additional research and development related material.  As the Company
        continues testing and demonstrating its product line, the Company
        expects research and development expenses to increase.

                 Depreciation and amortization increased approximately $271,000
        to $323,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $52,000 in the
        six months ended June 30, 1996.  During the period the Company charged
        to amortization expense $209,000 of capitalized debt issuance costs
        upon the repayment of the debt from the proceeds of the Initial
        Offering.  To a lesser extent, depreciation on increased levels of
        fixed assets owned by the Company also contributed to the increase.

                 Net interest expense increased by approximately $424,000 to
        approximately $428,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1997 from
        approximately $4,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1996.  Net
        interest expense for the period consisted of approximately $455,000 of
        interest expense offset by nearly $27,000 in interest income.  Interest
        expense included a write-off of approximately $385,000 of unamortized
        debt discount representing the fair value of warrants issued to holders
        of bridge notes in connection with the Bridge Financing.  Offsetting
        this expense was interest income earned during the period ended June
        30, 1997 on the invested proceeds of the Initial Offering.

                 As a result of the foregoing factors, the net loss increased
        by approximately $2.5 million, or 215%, from approximately $1.1 million
        to $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to
        the six months ended June 30, 1996.

        Liquidity and Capital Resources

                 The Company has incurred cumulative losses aggregating
        approximately $8.7 million from inception through June 30, 1997.  The
        Company expects to incur additional operating losses for the
        foreseeable future, principally as a result of expenses associated with
        the Company's product development efforts and anticipated sales,
        marketing and general and administrative expenses.  During the six
        months ended June 30, 1997, the Company satisfied its cash requirements
        principally from the proceeds of the Initial Offering and, prior to the
        Initial Offering, from private sales of equity and debt securities.
        The primary uses of cash have been to fund research and development and
        sales, general and administrative expenses.

                 At June 30,1997, the Company had cash of approximately $5.0
        million and a working capital surplus of approximately $5.0 million.
        In April, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $9.5
        million from the Initial Offering (including proceeds received from the
        exercise in full of the over-allotment option).  Approximately $2.1
        million of the gross proceeds were used to repay the promissory notes
        issued in the Bridge Financing and approximately $600,000 were used to
        repay related expenses.

                 Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended
        June 30, 1997 totaled approximately $3.2 million.  Net cash used in
        investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1997 totaled
        approximately $396,000.  Net cash provided by financing activities for
        the six months ended June 30, 1997 totaled approximately $8.0 million.

                 Based on the Company's operating plan, the Company believes
        that the proceeds of the Initial Offering, together with the
        anticipated revenues from future operations, will be sufficient to
        satisfy its capital requirements and finance its operations for the
        foreseeable future.  Such belief is based on certain assumptions and
        there can be no assurance that such assumptions are correct.  However,
        in order to accommodate potential future growth and expansion of the
        Company's operations, the Company may seek to raise substantial
        additional capital in the near future.  In addition, contingencies may
        arise which may require the Company to obtain additional capital.
        Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company's current
        resources will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's capital
        requirements.  The Company anticipates that any additional  financing
        required to meet its current plans for expansion may take the form of
        the issuance of common or preferred stock or debt securities, or may
        involve other secured or unsecured debt financing.  Additional equity
        financing may involve substantial dilution to the interests of the
        Company's then existing stockholders.  To the extent that the Company
        elects to obtain debt financing, the lender may impose certain
        restrictive covenants on the Company and upon any default by the
        Company on such debt financing, and in a liquidation of the Company,
        the rights of such lender would be superior to the rights of the
        holders of Common Stock.  There can be no assurance that the Company
        will be able to obtain such additional capital on a timely basis, on
        favorable terms, or at all.  In any of such events, the Company may be
        unable to implement its business plan.
