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 principal purpose of these products is to make meetings more
productive and cost effective by capturing ideas from all meeting members
(whether they are located locally or linked remotely through a computer and an
audio hookup) and making the information available to all of the linked systems,
where everyone involved can see and interact with the information produced and
presented. The Company's product lines incorporate a series of digital
whiteboards, interactive rear projection systems, and interactive plasma display
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 was incorporated in Oregon in 1986. The Company's executive offices
are located at 16112 SW 72nd Avenue, Portland, OR 97224.

</TABLE>


QUARTER ENDED APRIL 1, 2000 COMPARED WITH QUARTER ENDED APRIL 3, 1999

         SALES. Sales decreased $212,000 (20%) to $841,000 in the first
quarter of 2000 from $1,053,000 in the first quarter of 1999. The decrease for
the quarter was due to, and consistent with, the Company's planned reduction
in expenses for advertising and sales promotion.

                                       7



<PAGE>


         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 increased to 39% in the first quarter of 2000 from 36%
in the first quarter of 1999. The increase in gross margin during the first
quarter of 2000 was due primarily to lower manufacturing overhead expense
which resulted from the Company's restructuring efforts implemented in the
second quarter of 1999.

         RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development costs are
expensed as incurred. These expenses decreased $190,000 (78%) to $55,000 in the
first quarter of 2000 from $245,000 in the first quarter of 1999. The reduction
is due primarily to the restructuring the Company implemented in the second
quarter of 1999, which included significant reductions in development programs.

         MARKETING AND SALES EXPENSES. Marketing and sales expenses decreased
$269,000 (56%) to $212,000 in the first quarter of 2000 from $481,000 in the
first quarter of 1999. The decrease between quarters was due primarily to
lower costs associated with the current advertising program and decreased
participation in trade shows during the quarter.

         GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative
expenses decreased $47,000 (19%) to $201,000 in the first quarter of 2000
from $248,000 in the first quarter of 1999. The decrease was due primarily to
restructuring efforts.   General and administrative expenses remained
unchanged as a percentage of sales at 24% in the first quarter 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

         OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Other income (expense) includes interest
income, interest expense, and miscellaneous income.  Other expense, net
remained unchanged in the first quarter of 2000 from the first quarter of
1999 at  ($15,000).

         INCOME TAXES. The Company recorded losses from operations in the
first quarters of 2000 and 1999. Accordingly, no provision for income 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 public and private sales of equity securities, cash from
operations, and borrowings under bank lines of credit. At April 1, 2000 the
Company had working capital of approximately $(128,000) and its principal
source of liquidity consisted of $149,000 in cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts receivable increased $154,000 to $419,000 at April 1, 2000 from
$265,000 at January 1, 2000.  This was due to increased sales in the first
quarter of 2000 compared to sales in the fourth quarter of 1999 and improved
account collection policies implemented as part of the restructuring and cost
reduction plan. Inventories decreased $59,000 to $438,000 at April 1, 2000
from $497,000 at January 1, 2000. This decrease was due primarily to the
lowering of inventory levels implemented as part of the restructuring and
cost reduction plan.  Accounts payable increased $140,000 to $478,000 at
April 1, 2000 compared to $338,000 at January 1, 2000 as a result of the
implementation of more favorable payment terms with the Company's vendors.


The Company has a line of credit with its bank using its accounts receivable
and certain of its inventory as collateral. The Loan Agreement for the line
of credit expired on September 8, 1999, at which time $524,000 was
outstanding under the line of credit. The Company and the bank continued to
operate under the terms of the Loan Agreement until new terms were formalized
on October 25, 1999. At September 8, 1999 and at October 2, 1999, the Company
was not in compliance with the minimum tangible net worth financial covenant
of its Loan Agreement with the bank. On October 15, 1999, the bank delivered
a notice of default and the Company subsequently entered into a Forbearance
Agreement which provided for a



                                       8



<PAGE>

reduction in the line of credit to $650,000, the elimination of inventory
from the collateral base over a 14 month period, an interest rate increase,
and certain financial covenants with which the Company was required to
comply. The Forbearance Agreement period ended April 30, 2000. On April 27,
2000 the Company entered into an Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement with
its bank, which provides for financing in an amount equal to 80% of accounts
receivable up to a maximum of $750,000, interest of 3% per month on the
outstanding loan balance, repayment of the inventory portion of the
collateral base, and certain financial covenants with which the Company is
required to comply. The inventory portion of the collateral base is $190,000.
 The Company is to submit a repayment plan, subject to the approval of the
Company's lender, no later than May 21, 2000 outlining Company's plan to
repay amounts advanced in excess of the 80%, including the inventory portion
of the collateral base. The Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement extends
through July 31, 2000.

The Company believes its resources are sufficient to fund its operations
until August 2000 if the Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement is not
terminated prior to that time. In the event that the Accounts Receivable
Purchase Agreement is not extended and the Company is unable to obtain
substitute financing at acceptable terms, the Company's business and
financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.

During 1999, the Company experienced significantly reduced sales and negative
cash flows from operations. The reduction was due primarily to the loss of sales
from Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, a major OEM customer. At the
end of the second quarter of 1999, the Company concluded that it might not have
sufficient funds to operate for at least twelve months. Management based such
conclusions on the reduction in sales and resulting losses that occurred during
the first six months of 1999, coupled with diminishing cash resources (cash and
cash equivalents, and cash available under its operating line of credit). In
response, management restructured its operations through a combination of staff
reductions, workweek reductions, temporary executive salary reductions and
reductions in general expense spending levels. The company anticipates spending
levels to continue to decline moderately over the next several months as the
effect of the implemented restructuring stabilize. However, there can be no
assurance that the Company will achieve profitability on a continuing basis.

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

IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE

Many computer systems have been expected to experience problems distinguishing
between dates in different centuries because such systems were developed using
two digits rather than four digits to determine the applicable year.
Consequently, there was concern that these systems would be unable to
distinguish between dates in different centuries and could have experienced
errors resulting in system failures or miscalculations causing disruptions of
operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities. To
date, we have not experienced any significant problems complying with the Year
2000 issues and have not been informed of any significant failures of our
products from customers. These problems, however, may not be discovered until
months after January 1, 2000.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

During February 2000, the company was named in a class action lawsuit, ADAIR
                                                                       -----
V. MICROFIELD GRAPHICS, INC. ET ANO., 00 Civ. 0629 (MBM), United States
- -----------------------------------
District Court Southern District of New York.  The complaint alleges that the
Company and its Chief Executive Officer issued a series of false and
misleading statements concerning, among other things, the Company's purchase
agreement with 3M.  The complaint alleges that, as a result of these
allegedly material misstatements and omissions, the Company's stock price was
artificially inflated during the period from July 23, 1998 through April 2,
1999 and requests that damages be determined at trial.  The Company denies
the allegations and intends to vigorously defend itself.  However, the
ultimate outcome of the litigation is presently undeterminable.
