                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Microfield
Graphics, Inc. (the "Company") for the quarters ended March 29, 1997 and March
30, 1996 have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  The financial information as of December
28, 1996 is derived from the Company's Annual Report on From 10-KSB.  The
accompanying financial statements do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles and should be
read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes
thereto for the year ended December 28, 1996. In the opinion of Company
management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the interim
periods presented include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim
periods.  Operating results for the quarter ended March 29, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or
any portion thereof.

     The Company's fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the
Saturday closest to the last day of December. The Company's last fiscal year was
the 52 weeks ended December 28, 1996. The Company's first fiscal quarters in
fiscal 1997 and 1996 were the 13-week periods ended March 29, 1997, and March
30, 1996, respectively.


2.  RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In March 1997, The FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
128, EARNINGS PER SHARE (SFAS 128).  SFAS 128 applies to entities with publicly
held common stock and is effective for financial statements issued for periods
ending after December 15, 1997.  SFAS replaces APB Opinion 15, EARNINGS PER
SHARE, and simplifies the computation of EPS by replacing the presentation of
primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS.  The impact of the SFAS 128 EPS
calculation for the first quarter 1997 is not material.


3.  INVENTORIES

     Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates
the first-in, first-out method), or market value, and consist of the following:

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

OVERVIEW
     
     Microfield Graphics, Inc. (the "Company"), develops, manufactures and 
markets computer conferencing and telecommunications products to facilitate 
group communications.  The company's product lines incorporate a series of 
digital whiteboards and digital whiteboard rear projection systems under the 
brand name SoftBoard, along with a variety of application software packages, 
supplies and accessories.  Information written or drawn on the SoftBoard 
surface is recorded and displayed on a personal computer simultaneously and 
in color using the Company's proprietary technology.  The information is 
recorded in a computer file that can be replayed, printed, faxed, e-mailed or 
saved for future applications.  Optional proprietary software allows the 
information to be communicated in real time to remote computers over standard 
telephone lines, networks and the internet.

     The Company's SoftBoard products are expected to provide the substantial 
majority of its sales for the foreseeable future. The Company's results will 
therefore depend on continued and increased market acceptance of these 
products and the Company's ability to modify them to meet the needs of its 
customers. Any reduction in demand for, or increasing competition with 
respect to, these products could have a material adverse effect on the 
Company's financial condition and results of operations.

     In September 1995, the Company entered into an exclusive distributorship 
agreement with Sord Computer Corporation, a subsidiary of Toshiba Corporation 
("SORD") to market SoftBoards in Japan.  The agreement with SORD extends the 
distributorship through June 30, 1997, and contains a minimum purchase 
commitment of approximately $1,000,000 over the twelve-month period beginning 
July 1, 1995.  Sales to SORD were approximately 4% and 21% of total sales in 
the first quarter of 1997 and 1996 respectively.

     As with any large OEM or distributor relationship, order rates may be 
subject to quarterly fluctuations as demand varies and inventories are 
adjusted. The Company's results for the first quarter of 1997 were adversely 
affected by the decrease in sales to SORD.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FIRST QUARTER 1997 COMPARED WITH FIRST QUARTER 1996

     SALES.  Sales decreased $168,000 (12%) to $1,185,000 in the first 
quarter of 1997 from $1,353,000 in the first quarter of 1996. The decrease 
resulted primarily from lower shipments to SORD in the first quarter of 1997 
compared to the first quarter of 1996.  Sales to all customers other than 
SORD increased by 6% quarter over quarter.  SEE "OVERVIEW"

     GROSS PROFIT.  Cost of goods sold includes the cost of raw materials 
needed to assemble the products, assembly and preparation by vendors and 
direct and indirect costs associated with the procurement, testing, 
scheduling and quality assurance functions performed by the Company.  The 
Company's gross margin decreased to 46% in the first quarter of 1997 from 48% 
in the first quarter of 1996.  The decrease in gross margin was due primarily 
to lower absorption of manufacturing overhead during the quarter.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES.  Research and development costs are 
expensed as incurred. These expenses decreased $150,000 (41%) to $219,000 in 
the first quarter of 1997 from $369,000 in the first quarter of 1995. 
Research and development expenses decreased as a percentage of sales to 18% 
in the first quarter of 1997 from 27% in the first quarter of 1996.  The 
decrease was due primarily to the lower rate of spending on new product 
development in the first quarter of 1997 compared to the first quarter of 
1996.
     
     MARKETING AND SALES EXPENSES. Marketing and sales expenses decreased 
$43,000 (5%) to $758,000 in the first quarter of 1997 from $801,000 in the 
first quarter of 1996. The decrease was due primarily to lower advertising 
expense, and to lower expenditures for outside sales travel.  Marketing and 
sales expenses increased as a percentage of sales to 64% in the first quarter 
of 1997 from 59% in the first quarter of 1996. The Company plans to continue 
its efforts to build market and product awareness through advertising and 
attendance at industry trade shows.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses
decreased $37,000 (15%) to $212,000 in the first quarter of 1997 from $249,000
in the first quarter of 1996. The decrease was due primarily to

                                       8

<PAGE>

lower insurance costs and lower use of outside resources.  These expenses 
were 18% of sales in both the first quarter of 1997 and the first quarter of 
1996.

     OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Other income (expense) includes interest income, 
interest expense, and miscellaneous income. Net interest income decreased 
$48,000 (96%) to $2,000 in the first quarter of 1997 from $50,000 in the 
first quarter of 1996.  Net interest income decreased as a result of lower 
cash balances in the first quarter of 1997 compared to the first quarter of 
1996.

     INCOME TAXES. The Company recorded losses from operations in the first 
quarters of 1997 and 1996.  Accordingly, no provision for income taxes, other 
than minimum state taxes, was provided for in either of these periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Since inception, the Company has financed its operations and capital 
expenditures through the private and publi sale of equity securities, cash 
from operations, and borrowings under operating lines of credit.  At March 
29, 1997, the Company had working capital of approximately $2.3 million and 
its principal source of liquidity consisted of $1.5 million in cash and cash 
equivalents. Additionally, as of March 29, 1997, the Company had a $2,000,000 
line of credit with its bank, which bears interest monthly at prime (8.5 % at 
March 29, 1997). At March 29, 1997 $400,000 was outstanding under the line of 
credit. Inventories decreased approximately $79,000 in the first quarter of 
1997 as a result of lower purchases of raw materials.  Prepaids decreased 
$49,000, primarily due to a decrease in deposits on leases and trade shows.  
Property and equipment, net of depreciation, decreased by $48,000 primarily 
due to low fixed asset purchases during the quarter offset by depreciation 
expense.

     The Company has no commitments for capital expenditures in material 
amounts.

     The Company believes its existing cash and cash equivalents, cash available
under its operating line of credit, and cash from operations will be sufficient
to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months.
