ITEM 1.     BUSINESS

INTRODUCTION

FastComm Communications Corporation ( the "Company" or "FastComm"), designs,
develops, and manufactures network routing and switching equipment, controllers
and processors for Internet and frame relay networks, mainframe communications
controllers for IBM mainframe environments, multi-protocol access controllers
for Unisys users and an advanced voice/fax/video/data convergence routers for
enterprise and carrier users. The Company provides optimal migration paths for
legacy networks moving toward newer IP (Internet Protocol) routing
technologies. FastComm provides customers with modern networking technology as
a cost-efficient means of bridging old networks to new networks. FastComm
prides itself on its ability to customize private networks to attain the
specific needs of their customers. Its customer base includes state and federal
agencies, telephone companies and domestic and multi-national corporations.

The Company's strategy is to produce high quality value-added network routing
and switching equipment--that are the easiest to install, use, and
maintain--for several market segments: Legacy-to-LAN transition,
Internet/Intranet access, and Voice/Fax and Data integration. The Company
targets business customers primarily, and designs its products for volume sales
through third party resellers such as network product and service dealers,
systems integrators, telephone carriers, PTT's, and original equipment
manufacturers ("OEM's"). These resellers form a primary distribution channel
for the Company and also provide installation and maintenance services in the
United States and internationally.

The Company was incorporated as MicroTel, Inc. under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia in May 1983. The Company changed its name to Data Safe
Incorporated in February 1984; to Electronic Vaults, Inc., in August 1984; and
to FastComm Communications Corporation, in October 1987.

During the fiscal year ended April 30, 1997, the Company acquired Comstat
Datacomm Corporation, ("CDC or Comstat"), a Georgia corporation engaged in the
data communications business. (See Item 7. Business Acquisitions).

In May 1998, FastComm obtained an exclusive license from KG Data Systems, Inc.,
("KG Data") to manufacture, market and sell that firm's ChanlComm(R) product
line, a replacement for channel attached front end processors in IBM based
mainframe networks. Effective March 31, 1999, FastComm acquired all of the
assets and assumed certain liabilities of KG Data. This business is now
internally identified as the Mainframe Communications Division. (See Item 7.
Future Prospects).

Prior to June 9, 1998, FastComm shares were traded publicly on the NASDAQ
National Market under the symbol FSCX. On June 9, 1998, the Company's shares
were delisted from the National Market System. Effective June 16, 1998, the
Company's shares have been quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the same
symbol.

PETITION FOR REORGANIZATION UNDER CHAPTER 11 OF THE FEDERAL BANKRUPTCY LAWS

On June 2, 1998, the Company filed a voluntary petition for reorganization
under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. This filing was a direct result of
enforcement activities by a judgment creditor. All litigation related to this
matter has been settled. On March 30, 1999, the Company's Plan of
Reorganization was approved by the Bankruptcy Court and the Company emerged
from Chapter 11. The Plan of Reorganization became effective on April 12, 1999.
(See Item 3. Legal Proceedings) The Plan provides for cash and debenture
payments equal to 100% of each allowed claim. The positions of all common
shareholders are preserved.

Pursuant to the Plan, Class 1 creditors representing existing holders of
convertible debentures, are required to convert their debt to equity on or
before October 12, 1999. Claims of unsecured creditors, below $1,000, were
repaid in cash on or before April 30, 1999. Claims of unsecured creditors
greater than $1,000 were satisfied by two cash payments totaling 25% of the
allowed claim. The Company issued debentures to these unsecured creditors for
the remaining 75% of their allowed claims. The claim of Gary Davison related to
the judgement of $1,195,560 obtained against the Company was reduced to
$900,000 and allowed as an unsecured nonpriority claim. The Company then
dismissed its appeal of the state court verdict underlying the Davison claim
and Davison withdrew a second claim of $2,350,000 related to a pending trial on
another matter associated with his dismissal from the Company. Prior to
confirmation of the Plan, the Company's President assumed the allowed claim,
the effect of which is the amount due Davison will now be paid to him.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

NETWORKING INDUSTRY

The networking industry encompasses a broad range of communications services
and equipment. Communications in the form of voice, fax, data-- Internet
traffic, electronic mail, on-line transaction processing, imaging, video
teleconferencing, are transmitted across wide-area communication networks. As
demand for these information services grows, communication networks expand in
terms of the number of sites and users, the number of formats and types of
information, and the volume and speed of information to be communicated by each
user.

The network products industry categories that FastComm addresses divides itself
into three major areas:

1. BACKBONE COMPONENTS AND SYSTEMS, consisting of large switches and
multiplexers that manage wide area network (WAN) transmission lines that provide
connectivity for these devices. Public network service providers purchase
backbone components for their central offices, often identified as Point of
Presence (POP). Private networks install them at headquarters, major regional
centers, and the largest branch locations.

2. REMOTE ACCESS DEVICES, typically smaller equipment located in branch and
remote offices, attached to the backbone network through a single digital
telephone line. An access device may be part of a local area network (LAN)
within a building or directly connect to a telephone line for outside access.

3. MAINFRAME COMMUNICATION CONTROLLERS, are devices that interface to IBM
mainframe computers through very high-speed channels. These controllers have the
same channel connections as tape drives, disk drives and high speed printers and
typically are located in environmentally controlled rooms designed for large
mission-critical data processing operations. For more than 25 years, IBM has
been the custodian of its System Network Architecture (SNA) and corresponding
Network Control Program (NCP) products and services. These controllers are
designed to communicate at various speeds to remote locations only.

FASTCOMM'S PRODUCTS

The Company's products address all three areas of the network products industry.
Its frame relay access devices, WEBrouter (R), Quick and MetroLAN serve as
remote access devices. The GlobalStack provides a backbone system solution. The
ChanlComm (R) serves the mainframe communications controller marketplace.

MULTIPORT / MULTIPROTOCOL FRAME RELAY ACCESS DEVICES
The majority of the Company's revenue comes from the sale of frame relay access
devices (FRAD's) and multiprocol access routers FastComm FRADs provide cost
effective access to Frame Relay networks with support for a variety of LAN and
LEGACY protocols including TCP/IP, SLIP, PPP, IPX, HDLC (Bit Sync), SNA
RFC-1490, BISYNC, Burroughs Poll/Select, Telnet Client & Sever, X.25 Switching,
XXX PAD, Annex-G, Frame Relay Switching, AppleTalk, ALC, and Async. All FRADs
include an integral CSU/DSU or high speed serial network interface, support
remote configuration and management via Telnet and SNMP, and comply with
industry standard RFC1490 for internetworking with routers. The Fastconnect(TM)
feature allows a Fastcomm FRAD to automatically learn the network management
protocol, DLCIS and its IP address for management. This allows a network manager
to ship an unopened FRAD to a remote site, have a non-technical person plug it
in, and from the central site, access the FRAD via Telnet to complete the
configuration.

Frame relay is a simple way to transfer (relay) blocks of data (frames) on a
"best effort" basis (without error correction) across a public or private
network. Frame relay takes advantage of the high-quality (low error rate) of
digital and optical fiber transmission lines to simplify communications by not
correcting errors. Error correction is performed by computers and terminals
attached to the network, not the network itself. Frame relay standards define
the format for the data blocks sent to the network. The Company's frame relay
access devices and routers adapt terminals, computers, telephone equipment, and
facsimile machines to the industry standard frame relay format. FRAD market
studies from major consultants such as the Yankee Group and Vertical Systems
indicate that frame relay service revenues and unit counts are expected to grow
at a rate of 30% or more annually past the year 2000.

The Company's FRADs, which also function as routers, connect PCs, workstations,
local area networks ("LAN"), and host computers to a frame relay service. Data
formats on FastComm FRADs are compatible with standard routers for the most
important LAN protocols: IP, IPX, and AppleTalk(TM). A solution comprised of
mixing FRADs at some sites with routers at others is less expensive than
deploying routers everywhere. Certain Internet service providers (ISPs) offer
FastComm routers as part of their product package, with frame relay service
between the ISP site and those customers who require full time Internet access
or to maintain a site on the World Wide Web.


                                       4

In addition to standards compatibility, FastComm relies on additional
proprietary features to add value and distinguish its products. To the best of
the Company's knowledge, no competitor currently offers, in a single product
line, all the features listed below:

1.   Automatic installation has been a key advantage, in the form of three
     specific features that make FastComm products easier to install than those
     of its competition.

     -    FastConnect(TM) allows a FastComm FRAD to learn how the frame relay
          network switch is configured.
     -    FastConfig(TM) allows an EtherFRAD(TM), RingFRAD(TM) or WEB.router(R)
          to learn its IP addressing.
     -    Save and restore configurations between the FRAD or WEB.router(R) and
          a management station

2.    MaximumPRIORITY(TM) and FastRATE(TM) features provide sophisticated,
      multiprotocol prioritization and congestion control, a feature typically
      found only in transmission switches. These features enable the Company's
      FRAD and router products to combine multiple "mission critical"
      applications over a single network connection while offering a superior
      quality of service. When used in conjunction with a wide area network or
      service that also offers prioritization of applications (virtual
      circuits), the Company's products can be used to offer end-to-end
      prioritization, a highly distinguishing feature.

3.    A menu system on a dedicated port, for management and configuration,
      guides a user to select and set options for the installation process or to
      perform maintenance procedures. It also offers easy access to management
      information and statistics. Many competitors, in contrast, typically offer
      only a command line, which requires the user to learn and manually enter
      exact commands in the proper format and order. This is a slow, error prone
      and costly process.

A distinguishing feature of FastComm FRADs is their ability to handle terminal
protocols with intelligence. An example of this intelligence is seen when
dealing with polled protocols like IBM's SDLC (synchronous data link control)
where more than half the data on a line may be overhead, not information.
FastComm FRADs can eliminate this polling overhead and pass only user
information. The Company's equipment emulates multidrop lines, the most common
type found in over 50,000 IBM SNA (system network architecture) networks.
FastComm FRADs save bandwidth, improve response times and simplify network
topologies.

Recent versions of the front end processor for IBM mainframe computers and the
midrange AS/400 are compatible with direct connections to frame relay networks.
FastComm FRADs support the protocol conversion necessary for SDLC devices to
interoperate directly with a front end processor or AS/400. As with router
networks, FRADs at remote sites with terminal cluster controllers can reduce the
overall cost of a network.

Additional customer interest has been expressed in the direct Ethernet LAN port
on the EtherFRAD(TM) models, the Token Ring port in RingFRAD(TM) models. The
Company also offers a Basic Rate Interface (BRI) module to attach to the ISDN
(Integrated Services Digital Network), a digital telephone service. This module
becomes part of an EtherFRAD.

Voice over frame relay became popular during fiscal 1997. In response, the
Company introduced the VoiceFRAD(TM) a multiport/multiprotocol voice over frame
relay access device. FastComm VoiceFRADs(TM) provide cost effective data and
voice access over frame relay networks and support a variety of standard voice
interfaces. Voice is digitized and compressed using a CELP algorithm that
produces high voice quality at compression ratios of 8:1 and more. In response
to a request from its then largest customer, the Company had been reselling a
voice product manufactured by another vendor. Typically, arrangements such as
this produce minimal gross margins. In order to rectify this situation, the
Company is developing its own integrated voice/data product for sale in the
current fiscal year. These products, the GlobalStack and MetroLAN, are expected
to generate gross margins significantly greater than those generated by the
Company's previous voice based offerings.

WEB.ROUTER(R)_
The WEB.router(R) product, a low cost Internet access router, provides the
Company's solution for Internet access over frame relay. The Internet and its
World Wide Web are usually accessed over a dialed up connection or a leased line
carrying the Internet Protocol (IP) in a format called Point to Point Protocol
(PPP). With the large number of new Internet users, service providers are
finding frame relay an efficient way to offer connections to many customers over
a single data line at the ISP's site. WEB.router(R) devices were designed for
Intranet applications of World Wide Web technology (within companies) as well as
general Internet access.


                                       5

<PAGE>   6

ISDN
The Company offers Basic Rate Interface (BRI) module to attach to the ISDN
(Integrated Services Digital Network, a digital phone service). This module
becomes part of an EtherFRAD, for example. The BRI is an all-digital method to
access a telephone company central office. A BRI can carry frame relay and voice
at the same time. Software enhancements allow a Company product to use the BRI
as its main connection, or as a way to dial up a replacement connection if for
any reason the original frame relay access line is lost. The BRI option is
offered in different versions for North America and Europe.

GLOBALSTACK
The GlobalStack-EX voice/fax/data/video router combines digital and analog voice
from switches, PBXs, key systems, and remote telephones with LAN/legacy data and
transports it over switched or dedicated digital networks. With digital T1, E1,
ISDN BRI and PRI interfaces, frame relay interfaces for data equipment, an
Ethernet port, and FastComm's routing software, the GlobalStack-EX is the
perfect solution for integrating voice/fax/data and multimedia throughout the
enterprise network. The GlobalStack-EX satisfies large regional and central site
office and POP locations where a confluence of communication mediums converge.
The GlobalStack-EX is compliant with FRF.11, supporting voice compression (with
silence suppression) and allows up to 30 voice channels to be transported in
less than 300Kbps. Bandwidth is dynamically allocated between voice/video/data
so that LAN traffic may continually adapt to fill the unused bandwidth.

METROLAN
The MetroLAN router combines analog voice from switches, PBXs, key systems,
telephones, and the PSTN with LAN/legacy data & multimedia and transports it
over switched or dedicated digital networks. MetroLAN satisfies the needs of
small office/branch office that require optimum phone line performance. With
FastComm's routing software, three analog voice ports, two data equipment serial
interfaces and an Ethernet port, the MetroLAN is the perfect solution for
voice/fax/data and video applications.

The MetroLAN is compliant with FRF.11, supporting voice compression (with
silence suppression) which allows up to 3 voice channels to be transported in
less than 30Kbps. Bandwidth is dynamically allocated between voice/video/data so
that LAN traffic may continually adapt to fill the unused bandwidth.

DATA CONTROLLER
Data Controllers are small data PABX's that allow up to seven devices to be
managed with a single telephone line and modem. A management station places one
call to the data controller, then communicates with up to seven attached
devices. A typical example would be a branch office equipped with a CSU,
multiplexer, bridge or router, terminal controller, and voice PABX or key
system. In addition to supporting dial-in access, the Data Controller will
accept information from any of the managed devices, then dial out to the central
management station, through the modem, and deliver that information -- for
example, an alarm message. This product is sold as the SuperView(TM) device.

QUICK PRODUCT LINE
The Quick II targets Unisys A and C-series mainframe customers who have been
using legacy CP2000 equipment. Unisys sells and supports the Quick II to
customers who require cost-effective network solutions for communication between
legacy mainframe, peripheral and LAN applications. FastComm supports over 100
protocol variations which legacy equipment users depend on for seamless
operations. The foundation of the Quick II is based on FastComm's streamline
FRADs and WEB.router, which adds to the ease of support and configuration
management. Sales of Quick II products totaled $1,748,000 during the fiscal year
ended April 30, 1999.

CHANLCOMM(R) MAINFRAME COMMUNICATIONS PROCESSOR
During fiscal 1999, the Company began to market the ChanlComm(R) product family
as a replacement for the front end processor ("FEP") in IBM mainframe computer
networks. The ChanlComm(R) takes its name from being "channel attached" to a
main computer, bypassing the typical front end processor installed to handle
communications lines. This product is now shipping with serial (SDLC) interfaces
for wide area network lines (point to point and multidrop). The product
development plan includes the addition of a direct frame relay interface, full
IP routing, along with other capabilities and protocols. The current 16 port
capacity will be expanded to at least 256 ports this fiscal year. In certain
applications, the ChanlComm(R) at the host computer will communicate with
FastComm FRADs or routers at remote sites, creating "pull through" business for
the Company.

NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

The Company invests heavily in research and development ("R&D") and expects such
investment to continue.


                                       6

<PAGE>   7

Recorded expenses for research and development have been as follows:

         FY 1999  $2,388,000            51% of revenue
         FY 1998  $2,255,000            25% of revenue
         FY 1997  $2,042,000            18% of revenue

The purchase of KG Data involves continuing product development on the
ChanlComm(R) communications processors. The work plan includes the addition of
several protocol variants, including a frame relay network interface, and
expansion of overall capacity.

Competitive pressure requires aggressive pricing. Product development stresses
low cost, reliable components and ease of assembly. A modular approach allows
many different products to be created from a few basic components. To keep
costs low or to bring a product to market quickly, any design may be done
entirely internally, externally, jointly with another firm, or from licensed
technology.

Larger companies, with larger engineering resources and more internal
expertise, may be able to develop a larger portion of their products without
outside technology. Not having to pay licensing fees or royalties could provide
them a cost advantage.

Research and development project schedules for high technology products are
inherently difficult to predict, and there can be no assurance that the Company
will achieve its expected initial shipment dates of products in development.
The timely availability of new and enhanced products is critical to the success
of the Company. Delays in availability of these new products, or lack of market
acceptance of such products, could adversely affect the Company.

The Company's ability to anticipate changes in technology, industry standards
and communications service provider offerings, and its ability to develop and
introduce new and enhanced products on a timely basis that are successful in
the market will be a significant factor in the Company's competitive position
and in its prospects for growth.

BACKLOG

Because of its quarterly design and build cycle, the Company builds and fills
to the extent possible all of its customer orders within the fiscal quarter of
receipt. Backlog of undeliverable orders is usually not significant. Management
believes that the Company's backlog as of any given date is not necessarily
indicative of actual revenues for any succeeding period.

Management knows of no material effect from compliance with environmental laws
or regulations.

SEASONALITY AND INFLATION

The Company's operations have not proven to be seasonal, although quarterly
revenue and net income may vary. Although the Company cannot accurately
determine the amounts attributable thereto, the Company has been affected by
inflation through increased costs of employee compensation and other operating
expenses. The Company believes that inflation has not had a material effect on
the Company's results of operation or financial condition.

MARKETING AND SALES

On June 2, 1998, the Company filed a voluntary petition for reorganization
under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. The Company believes that this
filing negatively impacted its ability to sell its product in the market place
during fiscal year 1999. The Company emerged from bankruptcy on March 30, 1999.
The Company cannot predict the effect, if any, this filing will have on future
sales.

DOMESTIC
FastComm sells its frame relay products primarily via indirect channels such as
value added resellers, systems integrators, major telephone companies, PTT's,
OEM's and distributors. These entities provide the installation and local
maintenance support required by end-user customers


                                       7

<PAGE>   8

Unisys sells the Quick II directly to their customer base as a reseller of
FastComm. The Company sells the ChanlComm(R) products directly to end users and
will continue to do so until reseller relationships are developed. The Company
also provides direct technical support for all customers.

As of July 1999, the most active resellers of the Company's products include,
Anicom, C&L Communications, GTE Corporation, Unisys and Computer Services Inc.
These resellers, along with those less active and not mentioned, issue firm
purchase orders to the Company, take volume shipments against these orders and
resell the FastComm product to smaller dealers and end users. Title to product
transfers upon shipment by the Company.

During fiscal years 1999 and 1998, sales to Alcatel Data Networks accounted for
28% and 32% of total sales. During fiscal year 1997 sales to System One
Corporation and GTE Telephone Operations accounted for 29% and 16% of sales,
respectively. On March 29, 1999, the Company terminated its contract with
Alcatel, effective June 28, 1999.

There were no Government contracts during the fiscal year that were subject to
renegotiation of profits or termination.

INTERNATIONAL
In the international marketplace, independent distributors represent the
Company in more than 30 countries. These firms are most often locally owned and
managed, which gives them an important presence in their markets. Terms of
international distribution agreements are similar to domestic agreements and
grant to the distributor similar stock adjustment/rotation and stock update
rights. In most cases, a distributor obtains non-exclusive rights to all
FastComm products for a specific geographic area. In 1999, 1998 and 1997, the
Company had export sales to foreign customers totaling $1,800,000, $3,292,000
and $846,000, respectively. The majority of the sales to Alcatel Data Networks
are for export, primarily to Latin America and Asia. During fiscal year 2000,
the Company is placing significant emphasis on international selling
opportunities. The Company has increased its international sales force and
executed reseller contracts with four new distributors. The Company is in
preliminary discussions with significant end user customers in Mexico, Peru and
Brazil. In that such discussions are in the preliminary stages, no assurance
can be made as to the outcome of these discussions. In most instances, the
Company requests confirmed letters of credit, issued in advance, as payment for
international sales.

The Company's export sales may be subject to restrictions on foreign operations,
including restrictions imposed by foreign governments on imports as well as US
Government originated restrictions, and are subject to risks associated with
fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Although substantially all foreign
contracts are denominated, and revenues are paid, in United States dollars, to
the extent the Company receives payments in foreign currencies, it may incur
gains or losses because of exchange fluctuations between currencies. Moreover,
fluctuations in currency exchange rates may cause the Company's established
prices to be relatively more or less expensive in terms of local currencies.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND SERVICE

The Company maintains a technical support staff. Their work primarily supports
resellers, but end users are periodically given technical information and
assistance by telephone. For new products or features, including beta tests,
Company personnel will visit end user sites to participate in installation and
training.

NCR Corp. and Unisys have signed agreements with the Company whereby they assume
responsibility for installation and/or maintenance of FastComm products sold by
them or by third parties. The Company may enter into similar agreements with
others in the future.

PROMOTION

Advertising in trade publications stress the unique benefits and the Company's
strong points. Most publications in which the Company advertises have
international circulation, aiding the Company's selling efforts outside the U.S.

The Company participates regularly in industry trade shows in order to meet
prospective customers, generate sales leads, communicate with the press, and to
do market research. The Company exhibits under its own name and also takes
opportunities to exhibit with its dealers and distributors who show FastComm
products.

To generate interest and to identify prospects among data center managers, the
Company uses direct mail targeted at known users of mainframe computers.


                                       8

<PAGE>   9

The Company limited its advertising expenditures during fiscal year 1999. Such
expenditures will increase during fiscal year 2000.

COMPETITION

The communications industry is highly competitive. Rapid technological change,
evolving standards and regulatory developments characterize the market for the
Company's products. Many of the Company's competitors and potential competitors
have greater financial, technological, manufacturing, marketing and personnel
resources than the Company. The Company's success depends to a large extent on
the insight, experience, and energy of its people, and therefore on its ability
to attract and retain experienced professionals.

The primary competition for each of the Company's major products is as follows:

FRAME RELAY ACCESS DEVICES: This continues to be a developing market, where
functionality differences among vendors still persist. FastComm enjoys an
advantage in its ability to handle legacy protocols as well as LAN traffic, an
integral CSU, small size, a low price, and automatic self-configuration features
that simplify installation. Other vendors with distinguishing features focus on
specific applications or market niches, with feature sets or distribution
channels. The EtherFRAD(TM), because of its compatibility with routers, competes
with the low end products of most router vendors. They attempt to compete on
name recognition, size, or backbone router features rather than strictly as an
access product.

VOICE OVER FRAME RELAY: Most FRAD vendors now ship FRADs with voice capability,
and several have gained reputations for voice. The initial shipments of FastComm
VoiceFRAD(TM) product occurred during late FY 1997. The Company, previously
acquired VoiceFRADS from an Australian manufacturer and resold this product
under both its own name and that of customers. This was done at the request of
Alcatel. As part of its reorganization, the Company rejected this supply
contract and will meet the needs of this marketplace with its GlobalStack and
MetroLAN product lines.

UNISYS MAINFRAME MARKET: The users of the Quick II product are those with older
Unisys mainframe computers that were designed to communicate using the
Poll/Select protocol on leased lines. Progress in computers and communications
technologies will force these networks to a more modern transmission format,
typically frame relay or Internet Protocol (IP). FastComm supports both
migration strategies with the Quick II, which replaces the CP 2000. The Quick II
is sold and supported by Unisys personnel as well as certain other FastComm
resellers.

IBM MAINFRAME MARKET: The ChanlComm(R) is one of the very few communications
devices that attach directly to the mainframe computer via the block or byte
channel (bus and tag connectors). No other FRAD vendor offers a channel-attached
device. Among router vendors, only Cisco has announced a channel attachment
option to their larger router line. This feature is licensed by Cisco from IBM.
The Company believes that the cost to buy or design a channel interface to the
mainframe will pose a significant barrier to new entrants to the market entry
for several years.

Current users of IBM front end processors ("FEP") were advised that IBM will
discontinue support for certain older models at the end of 1998. A similar plan
for the remaining larger version (the IBM 3645) has alarmed customers who do not
wish to convert to router based networks. These enterprises are now FastComm's
prime targets for the newest release of of the ChanlComm product line. The
ChanlComm(R) products easily replace all FEP versions. Third party maintenance
organizations continue to support the older FEP's, thus allowing them to remain
in service for some additional time. The Company expects that these
organizations will continue to offer this support as it offers them a very
lucrative business opportunity. These maintenance organizations are also sales
prospects, as they too can benefit from the ease of use and state of the art of
this product.

Having a channel-attached product is expected to provide a competitive advantage
to the Company as it seeks a share of the business to be generated between now
and the year 2003 when an expected 15,000 IBM networks convert from leased lines
to a frame relay transmission service. However, competitors like IBM and Cisco,
which are larger and have greater resources, are expected to compete for the
same customers so there is no assurance that revenue targets will be achieved on
schedule.

LICENSES, PATENTS, AND TRADEMARKS

The communications industry traditionally relies more on trade secrets and rapid
obsolescence than patents. None of the Company's current products is protected
by patent.

On November 12, 1998, the Company entered into a 20-year licensing agreement
with Telogy Networks, Inc. to deliver their Golden Gateway Voice Over Packet
software and documentation service. The total committed cost was $281,000.
Deliverables include DSP unit licenses and developer's kit and MCU unit licenses
and developer's kit. The total committed cost for the software developer's kit
was $110,000; application software license, $5,000; DSP


                                       9

<PAGE>   10

License unit, $63,000; MCU license unit, $17,000; software support services,
$75,000; and, training, $11,000. Payments were spread over a 24-month period.

On November 24, 1998, the Company obtained a worldwide non exclusive royalty
bearing license from Alcatel Date Networks, Inc. ("Alcatel") to use and further
develop Alcatel owned technology and intellectural property. The terms and
conditions of this agreement call for a one-time fee of $50,000 payable in four
equal installments plus royalty payments based on unit sales. The initial term
of this agreement is twenty years and is renewable subject to negotiation of
terms and conditions agreeable to both parties 30 days prior to its expiration.

On May 5, 1999 the Company entered into a licensing and task order agreement
with Taboret, an Arinc Inc. subsidiary. The license provides for development of
a graphical user interface (GUI) and a suite of SNMP tools to manage
communication equipment and create management reports. The total committed cost
for the basic management system was $61,000. An additional committed cost for
each FastComm unit type, special project labor, editor, maintenance, block
distribution run time licenses and options totaled $15,000.

The Company licenses outside technology for its product development. The cost to
license software from commercial vendors is less than the loaded cost of
internal developments. Licensing also speeds product delivery. All of the
software licenses currently owned by the Company are perpetual. The Company
expects to license additional software, particularly in areas that are highly
standardized and have multiple sources to minimize costs.

Software related to the ISDN, X.25, voice compression and SNA interfaces is
licensed to the Company and has been integrated into its FRAD/ router product
line.

MANUFACTURING

Over the past several years, the Company has outsourced the manufacturing of its
circuit board assemblies to third party manufacturers. The Company believes that
the outsourcing of manufacturing preserves capital for other business purposes.
The Company's in house manufacturing process is limited to that of planning,
purchasing, material management, final assembly and testing. The Company
utilizes several manufacturers for this process and believe that its
relationship with these organizations is satisfactory. The Company will continue
this outsourcing activity for the foreseeable future.

Most of the components used in the Company's manufacturing process are available
from multiple sources. Single-source items are all from large vendors with
stable histories of supplying material as needed. FastComm and its third party
manufactures have established strong relationships with key vendors to reduce
the risk of significant shortages or delays relating to availability of
materials. Shortages or delays in the supply of components, however, could
adversely affect the Company's ability to meet scheduled product shipments in
any particular fiscal quarter, which could materially affect the Company's near
term operating results. Management believes the loss of any supplier would not
be materially detrimental to the Company's business in the long term.

The Company has entered into contracts with other manufacturers to acquire
equipment to resell. The Company puts its name or that of a customer on these
products for its existing distribution channels. These products include
VoiceFRADs(TM). The Company, previously acquired VoiceFRADS from an Australian
manufacturer and resold this product under both its own name and that of
customers. This was done at the request of Alcatel, the Company's largest
customer at the time. Typically, arrangements such as this produce minimal gross
margins. In order to rectify this situation, the Company is developing its own
integrated voice/data product for sale in the current fiscal year. These
products, the GlobalStack and MetroLAN, are expected to generate gross margins
significantly greater than those generated by the Company's previous voice based
offerings.

Management knows of no material effect on its business from compliance with
environmental laws and regulations.

EMPLOYEES

At July 8, 1999, the Company had 55 full-time employees. None of the Company's
employees is covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company
believes that its employee relations are satisfactory.

FUTURE PROSPECTS

On a forward-looking basis, the Company is finalizing the development of its
GlobalStack, MetroLan and GlobalView product lines, all of which have voice,
data and video capabilities. It anticipates improved sales of data based frame
relay products and is in receipt of a $1 million dollar order for such products.
The Company has added new features to the Quick product that qualify this
product for a larger and enhanced distribution channel. Initial shipments of the
ChanlComm(R) product commenced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999. The Company
anticipates that sales of the ChanlComm(R) product will begin generating
significant revenues commencing with the second


                                       10

<PAGE>   11

quarter of its fiscal year ending April 30, 2000. This product is being well
received in both the domestic and international marketplaces.

ITEM 2.     PROPERTIES

The Company's executive, administrative, manufacturing, research and development
and marketing operations are located in a leased 17,000 square foot facility in
Dulles, Virginia. Aggregate base rent and common charges for this facility
approximated $264,000 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1999. The Company
entered into a new five year lease agreement for this space effective May 1,
1998. Expenditures under this lease agreement approximate $22,000 per month plus
annual escalation.

Effective August 1, 1998, the Company entered into a two year lease agreement
for 2,100 square feet in Duluth Georgia that supports its Quick product
division. The base rent for this facility is $1,700 per month. As part of the KG
Data acquisition, the Company assumed a three year lease for a 3,700 square foot
facility in Norwalk, Connecticut. Expenditures under this lease agreement
approximate $4,100 per month plus annual escalation. This lease will expire June
30, 2001.

The Company also leases a small sales office in Colorado.

Management believes that its leased facilities adequately serve the Company's
present needs.

ITEM 3.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has conducted an
inquiry pursuant to an order directing a private investigation relating to
certain prior public disclosures and periodic reports of the Company. The
Company and the SEC staff are continuing settlement discussions. No assurance
can be given that this matter will be settled.

On June 2, 1998, the Company filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws in the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the Eastern District of Virginia. On March 30, 1999 a Plan of Reorganization
was approved by the Bankruptcy and the Company emerged from Bankruptcy
protection. The Company has been operating pursuant to this Plan since that
date.

No other material legal proceeding to which the Company is party or to which the
Company is subject is pending and no such proceeding is known by the Company to
be contemplated.

The Company has not paid dividends on its Common Stock. The Company anticipates
that it will retain all earnings to finance the operation and growth of its
business and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on the Common Stock in
the foreseeable future.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

THE COMPANY CAUTIONS THAT CERTAIN STATEMENTS IN THIS REPORT AND IN COMPANY'S
OTHER PERIODIC REPORTS FILED PURSUANT TO THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES EXCHANGE
ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED (THE "EXCHANGE ACT"), IN MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS" AND ELSEWHERE , MAY
BE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 21E OF THE EXCHANGE
ACT, THE "SAFE HARBOR" FOR FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS ENACTED IN THE PRIVATE
SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT ON 1995. THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT
MAY BE CONTAINED IN THE COMPANY'S REPORTS UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT AND IN OTHER
ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENTS MADE BY THE COMPANY OR BY ITS AUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIVES INVOLVE A NUMBER OF RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. AS A CONSEQUENCE,
ACTUAL RESULTS MIGHT DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM RESULTS FORECAST OR SUGGESTED IN
THESE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. SOME OF THESE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES ARE
IDENTIFIED IN THE DISCUSSION TO FOLLOW. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THESE
FACTORS AND OTHER IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER
MATERIALLY MAY BE REFERRED TO AS PART OF PARTICULAR FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS.
THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS MADE BY THE COMPANY OR ON ITS BEHALF ARE
QUALIFIED IN THEIR ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO THE IMPORTANT FACTORS DISCUSSED
BELOW AND TO THOSE THAT MAY BE DISCUSSED AS PART OF PARTICULAR FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS.

The Company cautions that the following important factors, among others, could
cause actual results for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1999 and for subsequent
financial reporting periods to differ materially from those forecast or
suggested in any forward-looking statement made by the Company or on its behalf,
in this report and otherwise. A number of these important factors have been
discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30,
1999 and its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q previously filed with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission.

On June 2, 1998, the Company filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws in the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the Eastern District of Virginia. This filing was a direct result of
enforcement activities by a judgment creditor. All litigation related to this
matter has been settled. On March 31, 1999, the Company's Plan of Reorganization
was approved by the Bankruptcy Court and the Company emerged from Chapter 11.
(See Item 3. Legal Proceedings) The Plan provides for cash and debenture
payments equal to 100% of each allowed claim plus interest. The positions of all
common shareholders are preserved.

POTENTIAL FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY RESULTS AND GROWTH RATE

A significant portion of the Company's sales are derived from products shipped
against firm purchase orders received in each fiscal quarter and from products
shipped against firm purchase orders released in that quarter. Unforeseen delays
in product deliveries or the closing of sales, introduction of new products by
the Company or its competitors, fluctuations in customer capital expenditures or
other conditions affecting the networking industry or the economy during any
fiscal quarter could cause quarterly revenue and net earnings to vary greatly.
Further, the Company schedules some production of its products and budgets
expenses based on forecasts of sales, which are difficult to predict. The
Company's manufacturing procedures are designed to assure rapid response to
customer demand, but may, in certain circumstances, create risk of excess or
inadequate inventory of orders do not match forecast. Moreover, shortages or
delays in the supply of manufacturing components at shipments at acceptable
prices could adversely affect the Company's ability to meet scheduled product
shipments in any particular quarter, which could materially affect the Company's
operating results. Because a substantial portion of customer orders are filled
within the fiscal quarter of receipt, and because of the ability of customers to
revise or cancel orders and change delivery schedules without significant
penalty, quarter to quarter revenues and, to a greater degree, net earnings, may
be subject to greater variability and less predictability.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES

The markets for the Company's products are characterized by continuous
technological change, evolving industry standards and frequent product
introductions. Such changes in the market may adversely affect the Company's
ability to sell its products. The Company's ability to anticipate changes in
technology, industry standards and to develop and introduce new and enhanced
products on a timely basis that are successful in the market, will be
significant factors in the Company's competitive position and its prospects for
growth. Moreover, if technologies or standards supported by the Company's
products or carrier service offerings based on the Company's products become
obsolete or fail to gain widespread commercial acceptance, the Company's
business may be adversely affected. As a result, Management believes that
significant expenditures for research and development will be required in the
future. Research and development project schedules for high technology products
are inherently difficult to predict , and there can be no assurance that the
Company will achieve its expected initial shipment dates for products in
development. Because timely availability of new and enhanced products is
critical to the success of the Company, delays in availability of these
products, or lack of market acceptance of such products, could adversely affect
the Company.

COMPETITION

On June 2, 1998, the Company filed a voluntary petition for reorganization
under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. This filing was a direct result of
enforcement activities by a judgment creditor. All litigation related to this
matter has been settled. On March 31, 1999, the Company's Plan of
Reorganization was approved by the Bankruptcy Court and the Company emerged
from Chapter 11. (See Item 3. Legal Proceedings) The Plan provides for cash and
debenture payments equal to 100% of each allowed claim. The positions of all
common shareholders are preserved. At this time, the Company is unable to
predict the effect this filing and the subsequent reorganization will have on
its ability to compete in its marketplace.

The market for the Company's product is characterized by intense competition.
With the development of the worldwide communications market and the growing
demand for related equipment, numerous manufacturers such as the Company have
emerged to offer products for these markets in competition with traditional
communications equipment suppliers. Competition could further increase if new
companies enter the market or if existing competitors expand their product
lines or upgrade existing products to accommodate new technologies and
features. An increase in competition could require increased spending by the
Company on research and development and sales and marketing and may otherwise
adversely affect the Company's business. Many of the Company's competitors and
potential competitors have greater financial, technological, manufacturing,
marketing, and personnel resources than the Company.

DEPENDENCE ON KEY EMPLOYEES

On June 2, 1998, the Company filed a voluntary petition for reorganization
under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. As a direct result of this filing,
the Company has suffered the loss of certain key employees. To date, the
Company has been able to refill some of these positions. At this time, the
Company is unable to predict the long term effect this filing will have on its
ability to attract and retain key employees.

The Company's success depends upon the continued contributions of its
employees, many of whom would be difficult to replace. FastComm believes that
its future success will depend upon its ability to attract and retain skilled
and talented engineers, sales and marketing personnel and management. Failure
to attract and retain key employees could adversely affect the Company's
business and operating results.

MARKET PRICE VOLATILITY OF COMMON SHARES

The Company's common shares have been subject to substantial market price
volatility, some of which has occurred when there have been variations between
the Company's actual or anticipated financial results and the expectations of
that of the financial community and in the aftermath of public announcements by
the Company and its competitors. Further, the stock market has experienced
extreme price and volume fluctuations from time to time which have affected the
market price of many technology companies in particular and which have often
been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. These broad
market fluctuations, as well as general economic conditions, may adversely
affect the market price of the Company's common shares.

OTHER FACTORS

The Company further cautions that the factors referred to above and those
referred to as part of particular forward looking statements may not be
exhaustive, and that new risk factors emerge from time to time in its rapidly
changing business. Further, the Company's independent auditors have included a
paragraph in their opinion which indicates that, based on recent operating
losses, along with existing working capital and accumulated deficits, there is
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company does not undertake to update any forward looking statements it may
make or has made on its behalf to reflect changes it its expectations or
assumptions or the risks and uncertainties referred to.

ITEM 7.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO INCLUDED IN THIS ANNUAL REPORT. IN
ADDITION, THE COMPANY DESIRES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS
OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995. SPECIFICALLY, THE
COMPANY WISHES TO ALERT READERS THAT THE FACTORS SET FORTH IN ITEM 5, "MARKET
FOR REGISTRANTS COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS - CAUTIONARY
STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION", AS WELL AS OTHER FACTORS, IN
THE PAST HAVE AFFECTED AND IN THE FUTURE COULD AFFECT THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL
RESULTS, AND COULD CAUSE THE COMPANY'S RESULTS FOR FUTURE QUARTERS TO DIFFER
MATERIALLY FROM THOSE EXPRESSED IN ANY FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS MADE BY OR ON
BEHALF OF THE COMPANY.

PETITION FOR REORGANIZATION UNDER CHAPTER 11

On June 2, 1998, the Company filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws in the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the Eastern District of Virginia. This filing was a direct result of
enforcement activities by a judgment creditor and former executive officer of
the Company. All litigation related to this matter has been settled. On March
30, 1999, the Company's Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") was approved by the
Bankruptcy Court and the Company emerged from Chapter 11. (See Item 3. Legal
Proceedings) The Plan provides for cash and debenture payments equal to 100% of
each allowed claim plus interest. The positions of all common shareholders are
preserved. Confirmation of the Company's Plan resulted in an extraordinary gain
of $833,149.

PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

Pursuant to the Plan, Class 1 creditors representing existing holders of
convertible debentures, are required to convert their debt to equity on or
before October 12, 1999. Claims of unsecured creditors, below $1,000, were
repaid in cash on or before April 30, 1999. Claims of unsecured creditors
greater than $1,000 were satisfied by two cash payments totaling 25% of the
allowed claim. The Company issued debentures to these unsecured creditors for
the remaining 75% of their allowed claims. The claim of Gary Davison related to
the judgement of $1,195,560 obtained against the Company was reduced to $900,000
and allowed as an unsecured nonpriority claim. The Company then dismissed its
appeal of the state court verdict underlying the Davison claim and Davison
withdrew a second claim of $2,350,000 related to a pending trial on another
matter associated with his dismissal from the Company. Prior to confirmation of
the Plan, the Company's President assumed the allowed claim, the effect of which
is the amount due Davison will now be paid to him.

To generate the cash requirement of the Plan, the Company raised $1,000,000
through a private placement offering of securities to a group of Company
employees, insiders and accredited investors. Each security ("Unit") consisted
of one share of common stock and two warrants to purchase common shares at
exercise prices of $1.00 and $1.50 per share. The warrants are exercisable for a
period of three years after March 31, 1999. The Company issued 1,333,333 Units
at a price of $.75 per Unit. As of the date of this report, $847,633 of the
proceeds of this offering has been used to satisfy allowed creditor claims. The
remaining funds are held in escrow to satisfy any potential future claims.

The Company issued $2,490,357 in convertible debentures in satisfaction of the
remaining 75% of each claim allowed in its Plan. The debentures earn interest at
a rate of 7.5% per annum payable in the form of common stock in the Company at
time of conversion. The debentures are convertible at the average of the closing
price of the Company's common stock for the ten consecutive trading days ending
on the trading day immediately preceding the date of conversion. No conversions
will be permitted prior to April 6, 2000. The Company may execute a cash
prepayment of the debenture at any time. Each debenture holder has the
additional right, but not the obligation, to surrender the entire debenture to
the Company on April 12, 2000 and receive a cash distribution equal to 15% of
the holder's original allowed claim, together with accumulated interest under
the Plan. The debentures mature on April 12, 2003. Any debentures not converted
by this date will automatically convert into common shares of the Company.

The Company is in compliance with all of the terms and conditions of its Plan.

FUTURE PROSPECTS

During the current fiscal year, the Company closed its manufacturing operation
in Georgia and downsized its administrative overhead. Full-time headcount was
reduced from 63 employees at July 8, 1998 to 55 full-time employees at July 8,
1999. The Company reduced selling, general and administrative expenses and
manufacturing overhead by 38% and 18% respectively during the current fiscal
year.

During fiscal year 1999 the Company incurred $994,000 in legal and professional
fees, of which $663,000 related to its reorganization. During fiscal year 1998,
the Company incurred $1,363,000 in legal and professional fees of which
$1,037,000 related to the Davison litigation. The Company anticipates a
significant reduction in such costs in its fiscal year 2000.

Subsequent to April 30, 1999, but prior to the issuance of this report, the
Company raised an additional $1,000,000 through a private placement offering of
securities to a group of accredited investors. Each security ("Unit") consists
of (1) one common share; (2) an A warrant exercisable immediately and permitting
the holder to purchase one share of common stock in the Company at a price of
$1.50 per share ("A Warrant") and (3) a B warrant exercisable immediately and
permitting the holder to purchase one half of a share of common stock at a price
of $2.25 per share ("B Warrant"). The warrants shall be exercisable for a period
of three years after the closing date. The A Warrants may be called for
redemption, by the Company, at such time as the bid price of the Company's
common stock remains above $3.00 for 20 (twenty) consecutive trading days. The B
Warrants may be called for redemption, by the Company, at such time as the bid
price of the Company's common stock remains above $4.50 for 20 (twenty)
consecutive trading days. These units carry with them certain registration
rights.

When and if exercised, the unexercised warrants associated with this offering,
the reorganization offering and the outstanding convertible debentures will
generate a maximum of $7,377,000 in additional cash for the Company. The Company
can give no assurance as to whether any warrants will be exercised, nor to the
amount of cash that will be generated, if any of these securities are exercised.
(See Item 7. Liquidity and Capital Resources)

On a forward-looking basis, the Company is finalizing the development of its
GlobalStack, MetroLan and GlobalView product lines, all of which have voice,
data and video capabilities. It anticipates improved sales of data based frame
relay products and is in receipt of a $1 million dollar order for such products.
The Company has added new features to the Quick product that qualify this
product for a larger and enhanced distribution channel.

During the fiscal year ended April 30, 1999, the Company acquired all of the
assets and certain liabilities of KG Data Systems, Inc., ("KG Data"), a
Connecticut corporation engaged in designing and manufacturing the ChanlComm(R)
Mainframe Communications Processor. The aggregate purchase price amounted to
$845,000. The Company funded this acquisition through the issuance of 719,149
restricted shares of its common stock. In connection with this acquisition, the
Company entered into a three year employment agreement with Kenneth A. Bloom the
President and sole stockholder of KG Data. Mr. Bloom was also granted certain
registration rights for the shares issued to him. 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. The
Company recorded approximately $723,325 in goodwill related to this transaction.
This goodwill is being amortized over a seven year period.

Initial shipments of the ChanlComm(R) product commenced in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1999. To date, such shipments have been minimal. The Company anticipates
that sales of the ChanlComm(R) product will begin generating more significant
revenues commencing with the second quarter of its fiscal year ended April 30,
2000. This product is being well received in both the domestic and international
marketplaces.

The Company anticipates that it may require additional funding to meet future
working capital needs and research and development expenses. It is anticipated
that such funding will be generated by way of additional placements of equity,
through research and development arrangements funded by third parties, by
investments by strategic partners and through the exercise of in the money
common stock warrants and options. The Company can give no assurance as to
whether it will be able to conclude such financing arrangements, or that, if
concluded, they will be on terms favorable to the Company.

There can be no assurance that the required increased sales and improved
operating efficiencies necessary to return to profitability will materialize.

</TABLE>


FISCAL 1999 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1998

Total revenues decreased from $8,907,000 to $4,653,000 or by 48% during fiscal
1999 as compared to fiscal 1998. The $4,254,000 decrease was primarily
attributable to decreased unit sales volumes of data and voice based frame relay
products. The Company did not make any significant price adjustments during the
current fiscal year. Data based frame relay product sales decreased from
$3,820,000 to $1,398,000 or by 63% during fiscal 1999 as compared to fiscal
1998. Voice based frame relay product sales decreased from $2,493,000 to
$542,000 or by 78% during fiscal 1999 as compared to fiscal 1998. Sales
generated by the Company's Quick product decreased $525,000 to $1,748,000 when
compared with that of the previous fiscal year. The decline in sales was offset
by a $382,000 increase in the sale of data compression products. The reduced
sales of frame relay products is primarily attributable to lower sales to the
Company's major reseller. Further, the Company believes that its filing a
petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 negatively impacted its ability to
sell all of its products during the current fiscal year.

Frame Relay and Quick product sales, as a percentage of total product sales,
decreased from approximately 96% in fiscal 1998 to approximately 79% in fiscal
1999. The Company believes its future growth will be achieved through the sale
of frame relay, ChanlComm(R) and integrated voice/data router products that are
to be released during fiscal year 2000. During the fiscal year ended April 30,
1999, one customer accounted for 28% of total sales.

A significant portion of the Company's sales are derived from products shipped
against firm purchase orders received in each fiscal quarter and from products
shipped against firm purchase orders released in that quarter. Unforeseen delays
in product deliveries or the closing of sales, introduction of new products by
the Company or its competitors, fluctuations in customer capital expenditures or
other conditions affecting the networking industry or the economy during any
fiscal quarter could cause quarterly revenue and net earnings to vary greatly.

Gross margins, as a percentage of total revenues, increased from 39% to 42%
during fiscal 1999 as compared to fiscal 1998. The increase in gross margin is
primarily attributable to a $1.1 million increase in the Company's


                                       18

<PAGE>   19

reserve for inventory obsolescence that was recorded in fiscal 1998 compared
with the $80,000 increase recorded in fiscal 1999. Further, sales of the
Company's Quick product line as a percentage of overall sales increased during
the current fiscal year. Gross margins on the Quick product line are greater
than that of the Company's other product lines. During the current fiscal year,
the Company increased its reserve for inventory obsolescence by $80,000 to
$1,450,000. Management believes that its reserve for inventory obsolescence is
adequate.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $7,622,000 in fiscal
1998 to $4,747,000 in fiscal 1999. This 38% decrease in expense is primarily
attributable to reduced advertising and promotion costs ($480,000); reduced
legal and professional fees ($1,032,000); reduced salary and related costs
associated with a decline in headcount ($351,000); reduced travel costs
($147,000); reduced office and occupancy costs including those associated with
the Company's Australia sales office ($224,000) and a decline in bad debt
expense ($417,000).

Research and development expenditures consist primarily of hardware and software
engineering, personnel expenses, subcontracting costs and, to a lesser degree,
equipment and facilities. Research and development expenses increased from
$2,255,000 in fiscal 1998 to $2,388,000 in the current fiscal year. This 6%
increase is primarily attributable to increased labor and material costs
associated with new product development and new product prototypes associated
with the KG Data/ChanlComm product line. The markets for the Company's products
are characterized by continuous technological change. Management believes that
significant expenditures for research and development will continue to be
required.

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased from $611,000 in fiscal 1998 to
$475,000 in fiscal 1999. The Company's autodialer patent was written off in the
previous fiscal year.

During the fiscal year ended April 30,1999, the Company recorded $643,000 in net
expenses associated with its reorganization. Such costs include legal and
professional fees totaling $663,000 offset by $20,000 in imputed interest earned
on accumulated cash from the Chapter 11 proceeding. Implementing the Company's
Plan of Reorganization resulted in an extraordinary gain of $833,000.

FISCAL 1998 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1997

Total revenues decreased from $11,163,000 to $8,907,000 or by 20% during fiscal
1998 as compared to fiscal 1997. The $2,256,000 decrease was primarily
attributable to decreased unit sales volumes of data based frame relay products.
The Company did not make any significant price adjustments during the fiscal
year. Data based frame relay product sales decreased from $8,896,000 to
$3,820,000 or by 57% during fiscal 1998 as compared to fiscal 1997. This
decrease is attributable to the completion, in fiscal 1997, of the Company's two
largest projects to date, System One and GTE. This decline was offset with
$2,493,000 in sales of voice based frame relay access devices. The voice based
FRAD product was not sold in fiscal year 1997. The sale of Comstat product
increased $1,499,000 to $2,274,000 when compared with that of the previous
fiscal year. This increase is attributable to the fact that the Company acquired
Comstat during the prior fiscal year and accordingly included only one quarter
of Comstat sales in that period. On a proforma basis, Comstat sales totaled
$2,610,000 during fiscal year 1997.

Frame Relay product sales, as a percentage of total product sales, decreased
from approximately 80% in fiscal 1997 to approximately 72% in fiscal 1998. The
sale of its analog based products and data compression products declined
$1,085,000 when compared with that of the previous fiscal year. During the
fiscal year ended April 30, 1998, one customer accounted for 32% of total sales.

Gross margins, as a percentage of total revenues, decreased from 58% to 39%
during fiscal 1998 as compared to fiscal 1997. The decline in gross margin is
attributable in part to the sale of voice frame relay access products. The voice
products, which were not sold in the previous fiscal year, are produced by
another manufacturer and as such generate a significantly lower gross margin
when compared with that of data products. Gross margins were also negatively
impacted by lower sales of data frame relay access products that generate higher
gross margins. This change in product mix negatively impacted gross margins by
approximately 8%. During the fiscal 1998, the Company disposed of $240,000 of
obsolete inventory while increasing its reserve for inventory obsolescence by
$1,110,000 to $1,370,000. This increase relates to the year over year decline in
the unit sales of analog modem and data compression products and to a lesser
degree, the decline in unit sales of certain frame relay products. These
transactions reduced the gross margin by approximately 11%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $4,822,000 in fiscal
1997 to $7,622,000 in fiscal 1998. This 58% increase in expense is attributable
to the annualized effect of an expanded sales force ($456,000), a full year of
costs associated with the operation of Comstat ($335,000), an enhanced marketing
and advertising program ($235,000), increased legal fees associated with the
Davison litigation ($1,037,000) and increased international travel ($182,000).
Selling, general and administrative expenses were negatively affected by a
$275,000 increase in bad debt expense.

Research and development expenditures consist primarily of hardware and software
engineering, personnel expenses, subcontracting costs and, to a lesser degree,
equipment and facilities. Research and development expenses increased from
$2,042,000 in fiscal 1997 to $2,255,000 in fiscal year 1998. This 10% increase
is


                                       19

<PAGE>   20

primarily attributable to increased research and development manpower
($147,000), an increase in outside consulting services ($59,000) and costs
associated with the operation of Comstat ($104,000). The previous fiscal year
included a non recurring $75,000 charge related to the acquisition of Comstat
representing the value of in process research and development that had not
reached technological feasibility.

In 1997, Gary H. Davison a former officer and director of the Company commenced
two lawsuits against the Company in the Circuit Court of Fairfax, Virginia, one
for wrongful termination and the other for breach of contract. The breach of
contract action involved claims for options to purchase 100,000 shares of stock
and a $100,000 bonus. On February 17, 1998, a jury in Fairfax County awarded Mr.
Davison $1,125,000 in damages and $163,233 in interest accrued from May 26, 1996
in this case. Subsequently, this award was reduced by $100,000. Accordingly, the
Company recorded a loss provision in the amount of $1,196,000 in fiscal year
1998.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased from $339,000 in fiscal 1997 to
$611,000 in fiscal 1998. This increase is primarily attributable to the
amortization of goodwill associated with the acquisition of Comstat ($128,000)
and depreciation associated with fixed asset additions and the write off of the
Company's autodialer patent.

FOURTH QUARTER ADJUSTMENTS

During the fourth quarter ending April 30, 1998, the Company recorded provisions
for obsolete inventory of $570,000 and a valuation allowance related to a note
receivable of $273,600 all of which had the effect of increasing the operating
loss and net loss by $843,600 or $.08 per share.

During the fourth quarter ended April 30, 1997, the Company reduced its reserve
for inventory obsolescence by $100,000 which had the effect of reducing the
operating loss by $100,000 or $.01 per share.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During fiscal year 1999, the Company used approximately $2,329,000 in cash to
fund its operating activities. This amount includes $4,830,000 required to fund
the net loss, after adjusting for non-cash expenses (consisting principally of
depreciation, amortization and extraordinary gains associated with the Company's
reorganization). In addition, $467,000 was used to reduce current liabilities.
Cash was generated by a $2,455,000 decrease in accounts receivable and by a
$599,000 reduction in inventory.

Accounts receivable decreased during the current fiscal year due to lower sales
and improved collection efforts. The Company has a $300,000 allowance for
doubtful accounts at April 30, 1999. Management believes that its allowance for
doubtful accounts is adequate.

Inventory levels decreased $599,000 during fiscal year 1999. This decrease is
primarily attributable to decreased inventory of voice and frame relay products
and data compression products. All of FastComm's frame relay printed circuit
assemblies ("PCA's") are manufactured outside the Company's facilities by
contract manufacturers. The PCA'a are built to purchase order or forecast.
During the current fiscal year, the Company improved its forecasting methodology
that and reduced inventory levels. During the current fiscal year, the Company
increased its reserve for inventory obsolescence from $1,370,000 to $1,450,000.
Management believes its reserve for inventory obsolescence is adequate.

At April 30, 1999, the Company had $91,000 in unrestricted cash, $1.9 million of
working capital and a current ratio of over 2 to 1. None of the Company's
accounts receivable or inventories are collateralized currently.

FISCAL 1999 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1998

Cash used in operating activities decreased from $4,395,000 in fiscal 1998 to
$2,329,000 in fiscal 1999. The $2,066,000 decrease in cash used in operating
activities is primarily attributable to the $3,540,000 decrease in the net loss
for the year offset by changes in working capital items in fiscal 1999 compared
to fiscal 1998, including a $2,708,000 reduction in cash used to fund accounts
receivable, a $1,930,000 reduction in cash invested in inventory offset by a
$1,471,000 increase in funds used to paydown current liability balances, a
fiscal 1998 $1,196,000 non cash reserve for litigation settlement and decreases
in other non cash expenses, primarily asset valuation accounts and non cash
discount and interest on convertible debentures.

Cash used by investing activities amounted to $62,000 in fiscal 1999 as compared
$318,000 in fiscal 1998. The Company purchased $212,000 in fixed assets during
the current fiscal and received a $150,000 payment against an outstanding note
receivable.

Cash provided by financing activities totaled $1,269,000 during fiscal 1999. The
Company issued $1,000,000 in common stock as part of its reorganization. Of this
amount, $152,000 remains in escrow as restricted cash. The Company received
$421,000 from the exercise of common stock warrants during the current fiscal
year.

FISCAL 1998 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1997

Cash used in operating activities increased from $2,259,000 in fiscal 1997 to
$4,395,000 in fiscal 1998. The $2,136,000 increase in cash used in operating
activities is primarily attributable to the $8,494,000 increase in the net loss
for the year offset by changes in working capital items in fiscal 1998 compared
to fiscal 1997, including a $2,227,000 reduction in cash used to fund current
liability balances in fiscal 1998, a $1,196,000 non cash reserve for litigation
settlement and increases in other non cash expenses, primarily increases in
asset valuation accounts and non cash discount and interest on convertible
debentures.

Cash used by investing activities amounted to $318,000 in fiscal 1998 as
compared $511,000 in fiscal 1997. The $193,000 decrease is primarily
attributable to reduced fixed asset purchases.

Cash provided by financing activities decreased from $2,998,000 in fiscal 1997
to $1,889,000 in fiscal 1998. The $1,109,000 decrease is primarily attributable
to a $1,000,000 decline, in fiscal year 1998, in proceeds from convertible
debentures.

OTHER CASH REQUIREMENTS

In fiscal 2000, the Company's cash commitments include minimum payments of
$476,000 under its operating lease arrangements. Management believes that
expenditures for research and development in fiscal 1999 will continue to be
significant. The Company anticipates capital spending for software, computer and
test equipment and furniture and fixtures in fiscal 1999. Where possible, such
capital requirements are expected to be met through lease financing
arrangements.

The Company anticipates that it may require additional funding to meet future
expansion and research and development expenses. It is anticipated that such
funding will be generated by way of additional placements of equity, through
research and development arrangements funded by third parties, by investments by
strategic partners and through the exercise of in the money common stock
warrants and options. The Company can give no assurance as to whether it will be
able to conclude such financing arrangements, or that, if concluded, they will
be on terms favorable to the Company

Subsequent to April 30, 1999, but prior to the issuance of this report, the
Company raised an additional $1,000,000 through a private placement offering of
securities to a group of accredited investors. Each security ("Unit") consists
of (1) one common share; (2) an A warrant exercisable immediately and permitting
the holder to purchase one share of common stock in the Company at a price of
$1.50 per share ("A Warrant") and (3) a B warrant exercisable immediately and
permitting the holder to purchase one half of a share of common stock at a price
of $2.25 per share ("B Warrant"). The warrants shall be exercisable for a period
of three years after the closing date. The A Warrants may be called for
redemption, by the Company, at such time as the bid price of the Company's
common stock remains above $3.00 for 20 (twenty) consecutive trading days. The B
Warrants may be called for redemption, by the Company, at such time as the bid
price of the Company's common stock remains above $4.50 for 20 (twenty)
consecutive trading days. When and if exercised, the warrants will generate a
maximum of $2,625,000 in additional cash for the Company. However, since the
warrant holders cannot be forced to exercise until such time as the bid price of
the Company's common stock reaches the stated levels, the Company can give no
assurance as to whether any warrants will be exercised, nor can it give
assurance as to the amount of cash that will be actually generated.

Management believes that inflation did not have a material effect on operations
during the fiscal year ended April 30, 1999.

CONVERSION OF DEBENTURES

During the fiscal year ended April 30, 1999, debentures in the amount of
$1,005,299 plus $68,011 in accrued interest were converted into 1,652,717 shares
of common stock. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 1998, debentures in the
amount of $3,794,701 plus $151,672 in accrued interest were converted into
1,997,232 shares of common stock.

In connection with the conversion of debentures and in accordance with the terms
of the debenture agreement, the Company has issued warrants to purchase an
additional 1,374,487 common shares at a strike price set at 125% of the market
price of the Company's common stock at the time of conversion. During the
current fiscal year, 65,022 warrants were converted into a like number of common
shares. This conversion generated $27,768 in cash proceeds to the Company.
Subsequent to April 30, 1999, but prior to the issuance of this report, an
additional 140,156 warrants were converted generating $75,897 in cash proceeds
to the Company. When and if exercised, the remaining 1,169,309 warrants will
generate a maximum of $2,111,741 in additional cash for the Company. However,
since the warrant holders cannot be forced to exercise, the Company can give no
assurance as to whether any of the warrants will be exercised, nor can it give
assurance as to the amount of cash that will actually be generated.

CREDIT TERMS

The Company extends credit to its customers. Accordingly the Company may have
significant risk in collecting accounts receivable from its customers. The
Company has credit policies and procedures that it uses to minimize exposure to
credit losses. The Company's collection personnel regularly contact customers
with receivable balances outstanding to expedite collection. If these collection
efforts are unsuccessful, the Company may discontinue product shipments until
the outstanding balance is paid.

In most instances, the Company requires that international sales be paid in
advance by wire transfer or confirmed letter of credit. This practice ensures
against bad debts while improving cash flow.

Certain Resellers may request a stock adjustment/rotation twice annually and a
stock update at any time. "Stock adjustment/rotation" and "stock update" are
agreements whereby FastComm permits a reseller, at FastComm's sole discretion,
to return already purchased but unused and still current products to FastComm.
Stock adjustments/rotations and stock updates, which require the approval of an
officer of FastComm, are granted for specific purposes:

-     Stock adjustment/rotation allows an exchange for other FastComm products
      of equal value. At the sole discretion of FastComm, stock adjustments may
      be limited to 10% or 20% of the value of product ordered and accepted by
      the reseller during the prior six-month period.

-     Stock updates may be approved for either warranty revalidation and/or
      software revision level changes on products that are then returned to the
      dealer. At FastComm's sole discretion, returned products may be exchanged
      for the same types of equipment from inventory.

FastComm, at its sole discretion, may charge a reseller a "restocking charge" of
up to 20% to execute a stock adjustment or stock update. Stock
adjustment/rotation and stock update do not permit distributors to return
purchased merchandise for a refund.

The Company's practices concerning stock adjustment/rotation and stock updates
are believed to be consistent with those of the communications manufacturing
industry, based on management's experiences and its analysis of similar
companies.

Normally, payment in full is due within thirty days from date of shipment to the
reseller. The Company offers extended payment terms in certain situations. The
Company also offers prompt payment discounts. Although normal payment terms are
net 30 days from date of shipment, as a practical matter, the Company normally
receives payments on accounts receivable beyond thirty (30) days, even from its
most credit-worthy customers. Management does not believe that its credit and
collection history is substantially different from other companies in the
data-communications industry, based on management's experiences with similar
companies.

With the exception of the stock adjustment/rotation policies as discussed above
and product warranty, the Company is not contractually obligated to accept
returned merchandise.

The Company's reserve for bad debt totals $300,000. Management believes that its
reserve for bad debt is adequate.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments"
(SFAS 133"). SFAS 133 requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at fair market value.
Under certain circumstances, a portion of the derivative's gain or loss is
initially reported as component of other comprehensive income and subsequently
reclassified into income when the transaction affects earnings. For a derivative
not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income
in the period of change. Presently, the Company does not use derivative
instruments either in hedging activities or as investments. Accordingly, the
Company believes that adoption of SFAS 133 will have no impact on its financial
position or results of operations.

YEAR 2000

In accordance with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Legal
Bulletin No. 5, the Company has assessed both the cost of addressing and the
costs or consequences of incomplete or untimely resolution of the Year 2000
issue. The Company has reviewed its internal systems and has upgraded and
replaced such systems with applications, in the normal course of business, that
are Year 2000 compliant. To date, the costs of such upgrades have been minimal.
The Company plans to conduct a survey of its critical vendors concerning their
year 2000 compliance within the next 120 days.

The Company currently utilizes off the shelf software and uses no internally
developed software in the operation of its business. The software embedded in
the Company's products is not date sensitive and as such is not subject to the
Year 2000 issue. Accordingly, the Company has determined that its estimated
costs related to the Year 2000 issue are not anticipated to be material to the
Company's business, operations or financial condition. The Company will, within
the next 120 days, develop a contingency plan to be utilized in the event that
its management information systems fail due to a year 2000 related issue. This
plan will focus on identifying comparable companies utilizing comparable systems
and software to serve as an alternative to the Company's existing
infrastructure.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

In the normal course of business, operations of the Company may be exposed to
fluctuations in currency values and interest rates. These fluctuations can vary
the costs of financing, investing, and operating transactions. Because the
Company has only fixed rate long term convertible debentures and no foreign
currency transactions, there are no material impact on earnings of fluctuations
in interest and currency exchange rates.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Board of Directors and Stockholders
FASTCOMM COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of FastComm Communications
Corporation as of April 30, 1999 and 1998, and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended April 30, 1999. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of FASTCOMM COMMUNICATIONS
CORPORATION at April 30, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended April 30, 1999 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern. The Company has sustained significant
operating losses and cash flow deficits in fiscal 1999 and 1998, which, in part,
caused the Company to seek bankruptcy protection from which it was recently
released. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are
described in Note 1. The financial statements do not contain any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

                                                  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

================================================================================


ORGANIZATION          FastComm Communications Corporation (the "Company") was
                      incorporated in Virginia in May 1983. The Company designs,
                      manufactures, and markets data communications equipment
                      for high-speed data transmission over public and private
                      telephone networks.

                      The Company's fiscal year ends on April 30. For interim
                      financial reporting purposes the interim fiscal
                      quarters are closed on the first weekend following the
                      calendar quarter end date, unless the calendar quarter
                      end date falls on a weekend, in which case such weekend
                      is used as the interim fiscal quarter end.



USE OF ESTIMATES      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
                      generally accepted accounting principles requires
                      management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
                      the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
                      disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
                      date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
                      of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
                      Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain
                      estimates used by management are particularly susceptible
                      to significant changes in the economic environment. These
                      include estimates of inventory obsolescence, valuation
                      allowances for trade receivables and deferred tax assets,
                      and evaluation of the recoverability of goodwill. Each of
                      these estimates, as well as the related amounts reported
                      in the financial statements, are sensitive to near term
                      changes in the factors used to determine them. A
                      significant change in any one of those factors could
                      result in the determination of amounts different than
                      those reported in the financial statements. Management
                      believes that as of April 30, 1999, the estimates used in
                      the financial statements are adequate based on the
                      information currently available.



RISKS AND             The Company's future operating results may be affected by
UNCERTAINTIES         a number of factors. During fiscal 1999 and 1998, 28% and
                      32% of revenues were from one customer, respectively.
                      During fiscal year 1997, 45% of revenues were derived from
                      two customers. The risk to the Company is that a loss of
                      one or two customers could have a significant negative
                      impact on revenues and operating results.


                      The Company sells primarily to domestic and foreign
                      dealers and distributors. Generally sales are on credit
                      and no collateral is required, although the Company
                      reserves the right to have the products returned in



                                                                             9

                      the event of default. The Company provides an allowance
                      for estimated sales returns and uncollectible accounts.
                      The Company's concentration of sales to certain customers,
                      discussed above, exposes the Company to a relatively
                      greater risk of loss than would be the case with greater
                      diversification.

                      The Company operates in a highly volatile industry that is
                      characterized by fierce industry-wide competition
                      resulting in aggressive pricing practices, continually
                      changing customer demand patterns, growing competition
                      from well-capitalized high technology and consumer
                      electronics companies, and rapid technological
                      development. The Company's operating results could be
                      adversely affected should the Company be unable to
                      anticipate customer demand accurately, to maintain short
                      design cycles while meeting evolving industry performance
                      standards, to manage its product transactions, inventory
                      levels, and manufacturing processes efficiently, to
                      distribute its product quickly in response to customer
                      demand, to differentiate  its products from those of its
                      competitors, or to compete successfully in the markets
                      for its new products.


REVENUE               Revenues from product sales are recognized at the time of
RECOGNITION           product shipment.  An allowance is provided for estimated
                      sales returns and uncollectible accounts. Also, the
                      Company establishes a reserve for estimated warranty
                      claims at the time of product shipment.


INVENTORY             Production materials are valued using standard costs,
                      which approximate the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
                      Work-in-process represents direct labor, materials and
                      overhead incurred on products not delivered to date.
                      Finished goods are valued at the lower of cost or market,
                      cost being determined on the specific identification
                      method.

PROPERTY,             Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated
EQUIPMENT AND         on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of
DEPRECIATION          the related assets (generally five years). Leasehold
                      improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease
                      term or the useful life of the property.


                                                                             10

                                                  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

================================================================================


RESEARCH AND          All costs incurred to establish the technological
DEVELOPMENT COSTS     feasibility of products are considered research and
                      development costs which are charged to expense as
                      incurred.

GOODWILL              The Company has recorded goodwill based on the difference
                      between the cost and the fair value of certain purchased
                      assets and it is being amortized on a straight-line basis
                      over the estimated period of benefit, which is 7 years.
                      The Company periodically evaluates the goodwill for
                      possible impairment. The analysis consists of a comparison
                      of future projected cash flows to the carrying value of
                      the goodwill. Any excess goodwill would be written off due
                      to impairment.


ASSET                 In accordance with SFAS 121, the Company periodically
IMPAIRMENT            evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets when
                      events and circumstances warrant such a review. The
                      carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered
                      impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from
                      such asset is separately identifiable and is less than
                      the carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized
                      based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds
                      the fair market value of the long-lived asset. Fair
                      market value is determined primarily  using the
                      anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate
                      with the risk involved.


INCOME TAXES          The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with
                      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
                      Accounting for Income Taxes ("SFAS 109"). Under SFAS 109,
                      deferred taxes are determined using the liability method
                      which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and
                      liabilities based on differences between financial
                      statement and income tax basis using presently enacted
                      tax rates.

CASH AND              The Company considers all highly liquid investments with
CASH EQUIVALENTS      an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
                      equivalents. The Company invests its excess cash
                      principally in overnight repurchase accounts and
                      short-term government securities.  The Company maintains
                      amounts in excess of the federal deposit insurance
                      limitation of $100,000 in its bank accounts.

                                                                             11

================================================================================


COMPREHENSIVE         On May 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
INCOME                Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
                      Income". Comprehensive income as defined includes all
                      changes to equity except that resulting from investments
                      by owners and distributions to owners. The Company has no
                      items of comprehensive income to report.


EARNINGS PER SHARE    Earnings per share is based on the weighted average
                      number of shares of common stock and dilutive common
                      stock equivalents outstanding. Basic earnings per share
                      includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income
                      available to common shareholders by the weighted average
                      number of common shares outstanding for the period.
                      Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential
                      dilution of securities that could share in the earnings
                      of an entity. Basic and diluted earnings per share are
                      the same during 1999, 1998 and 1997 because the impact of
                      dilutive securities is anti-dilutive.

RECENT                In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
ACCOUNTING            issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
PRONOUNCEMENTS        133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments" ("SFAS 133").
                      SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards
                      for derivative instruments and for hedging activities.
                      SFAS 133 requires that an entity recognize all derivatives
                      as either assets or liabilities and measure those
                      instruments at fair market value. Under certain
                      circumstances, a portion of the derivative's gain or loss
                      is initially reported as a component of other
                      comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into
                      income when the transaction affects earnings. For a
                      derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the
                      gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of
                      change. Presently, the Company does not use derivative
                      instruments  either in hedging activities or as
                      investments. Accordingly, the Company believes that
                      adoption of SFAS 133 will have no impact on its financial

================================================================================

1. RECENT EVENTS      On June 2, 1998, the Company filed a voluntary petition
   AND FUTURE         for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States
   PROSPECTS          Bankruptcy Code. This filing was a direct result of
                      enforcement activities by a judgment creditor (See Note
                      7). The Company negotiated with its creditors a
                      consensual Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") and filed
                      with the Court a Disclosure Statement and Plan of
                      Reorganization dated October 21, 1998 as modified on
                      December 23, 1998, January 8, 1999 and finally February
                      16, 1999. Creditors approved the Plan  in March 1999 and
                      the Court confirmed this Plan on March 30, 1999. The Plan
                      became effective on April 12, 1999.

                      Pursuant to the Plan, Class 1 creditors, representing
                      existing holders of convertible debentures, are required
                      to convert their debt to equity within six months of the
                      effective date of the Plan. Claims of unsecured
                      creditors, below $1,000, were repaid in cash on or before
                      April 30, 1999. Claims of unsecured creditors greater
                      than $1,000 were satisfied by two cash payments totaling
                      25% of the allowed claim on or before April 30, 1999. The
                      Company issued debentures to these unsecured creditors
                      for the remaining 75% of their allowed claims. The claim
                      of Gary Davison related to the judgement of $1,195,560
                      obtained against the Company was reduced to $900,000 and
                      allowed as an unsecured nonpriority claim. The Company
                      then dismissed its appeal of the state court verdict
                      underlying the Davison claim and Davison withdrew a
                      second claim of $2,350,000 related to a pending trial on
                      another matter associated with his dismissal from the
                      Company. Prior to confirmation of the Plan, the Company's
                      President assumed the allowed claim, the effect of which
                      is the amount due Davison will now be paid to him.

                      In funding its Plan, the Company raised $1,000,000 by
                      selling common stock in a private offering. The
                      debentures, totaling $2,490,357 issued to the unsecured
                      creditors, including the President in connection with
                      purchase of the Davison claim, mature in April 2003. The
                      debentures will be convertible into common stock of the
                      Company between the first and fourth anniversary of the
                      effective date of the Plan. The debentures are
                      convertible at the average of the closing price of the
                      Company's common stock for the ten consecutive trading
                      days ending on the trading day immediately prior to
                      conversion. The debentures bear interest at 7.5%, payable
                      in common stock of the Company. If not converted sooner,
                      all debentures must be converted to common stock by April
                      2003. The Company has the right , at anytime, to redeem
                      for cash at par value all of the outstanding debentures
                      plus any accrued interest.

                                                                             13

                      Each debenture holder has the additional right to
                      surrender the entire debenture to the Company on April
                      12, 2000 and receive cash equal to 15% of the holder's
                      original allowed claim plus interest.

                      Confirmation of the Plan on March 30, 1999 resulted in an
                      extraordinary gain determined as follows:

                      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

                      The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
                      assuming that the Company will continue as a going
                      concern. As explained below the Company has sustained
                      recurring operating losses and cash flow deficits,
                      particularly in fiscal 1998 and 1999. The bankruptcy
                      filing discussed in the paragraphs above had an adverse
                      impact on revenues which contributed to the significant
                      net loss in fiscal 1999. These factors raise substantial
                      doubt about the Company's ability to continue in
                      existence. Management's plans in regard to these matters
                      are described in the succeeding paragraphs. The financial
                      statements do not contain any adjustments that might
                      result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

                                                                             14

================================================================================


                      FUTURE PROSPECTS

                      The Company plans to introduce several new products to
                      its customers in fiscal 2000, some of which will be the
                      ChanlCom products formerly manufactured by KG Data
                      Systems, Inc. (see Note 2). Also, the Company is
                      increasing its marketing efforts in Latin America, Korea
                      and China in hopes of generating additional revenue. In
                      addition, the Company expects to reduce administrative
                      expenses in fiscal 2000 due to the elimination of legal
                      fees related to the Davison litigation and the bankruptcy
                      filing.

                      While the Company is optimistic that it can execute its
                      revised business plan, there can be no assurance that the
                      increased sales necessary to return to profitability will
                      materialize or if they do, that the Company will be able
                      to raise sufficient cash to fund the additional working
                      capital requirements.


2. BUSINESS           On March 31, 1999, the Company acquired all of the assets
   ACQUISITIONS       and assumed certain liabilities (as defined in the
                      agreement) of KG Data Systems, Inc., ("KG Data"). KG Data
                      has developed a product which transmits data between IBM
                      mainframes and remote offices. The purchase price was
                      $845,000, which was funded through the issuance of
                      719,149 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 Company recorded $723,325 of
                      goodwill related to this transaction. This goodwill is
                      being amortized on a straight line basis over a seven
                      year period. The operations of KG Data
                      in 1999 and 1998 were not material and accordingly, the
                      Company has not presented pro forma results of operations.

                                                                             15

================================================================================


                      In April 1999 the Company issued $2,490,357 in
                      convertible debentures in satisfaction of the remaining
                      75% of each claim allowed in its plan of reorganization
                      (see Note 1). The debentures earn interest at a rate of
                      7.5% payable in the form of common stock of the Company
                      at time of conversion. The debentures are convertible at
                      the average of the closing price of the Company's common
                      stock for the ten consecutive trading days ending on the
                      trading day immediately preceeding the date of
                      conversion. No conversions will be permitted prior to
                      April 6, 2000. The Company may execute a cash prepayment
                      of the debenture at any time. Each debenture holder has
                      the additional right, but not the obligation, to
                      surrender the entire debenture to the Company on April
                      12, 2000 and receive a cash distribution equal to 15% of
                      the holder's original allowed claim together with
                      accumulated interest under the plan of reorganization.
                      The debentures mature on April 12, 2003. Any debentures
                      which have not been converted by this date will
                      automatically be converted into common shares of the
                      Company.

                      In April 1997, the Company issued $3,000,000 in 5.0%
                      Convertible Debentures due April 2001. In May 1997, the
                      Company issued $2,000,000 in 5% convertible debentures
                      due May 2001. For the first 180 days following the
                      issuance, the debentures were convertible at the option
                      of the holder into common stock at a conversion price
                      equal to the average closing bid prices on NASDAQ for the
                      ten trading days prior to conversion. If the conversion
                      occurs more than 180 days after the issuance, the
                      conversion price is the lesser of 125% of the average
                      closing bid prices on NASDAQ for the ten trading days
                      prior to the issuance date, or, 90% of the average
                      closing bid prices on NASDAQ for the ten trading days
                      prior to the conversion date. In addition, if the
                      conversion occurs more than 180 days after the issuance,
                      the holder will receive one warrant for every five shares
                      of common stock received upon conversion of the
                      debentures. If the conversion occurs more than 360 days
                      from the issuance, the holder will receive one warrant
                      for every 2 1/2 common shares received upon conversion of
                      the debentures. Each warrant will have a strike price set
                      at 125% of the market price of the Company's common stock
                      at the time of conversion. During 1999 and 1998, holders
                      of the debentures converted $1,005,299 and $3,946,373 of
                      debentures into 1,652,717 and 1,997,232 shares of common
                      stock, respectively.


                                                                              18

================================================================================


                      The terms of the Convertible Debenture provide for
                      conversion at a discount to the market commencing 181
                      days after issuance. The value of the discount, using a
                      conversion price of 90% of the average closing bid prices
                      on NASDAQ for the ten trading days prior to the
                      conversion date, was approximately $550,000. Since the
                      holders of the Convertible Debentures did not elect to
                      exercise their option to convert the debentures into
                      common stock of the Company within 180 days of issuance
                      (i.e., at a conversion price of 100% of market), the
                      Company was required to recognize on the 181st day from
                      issuance the amount of the conversion discount.
                      Recognition of the conversion discount reduced income
                      available to common shareholders during fiscal 1998 by
                      $550,000 in the form of a one-time non-cash charge to
                      interest expense


7. COMMITMENTS        LITIGATION
   AND
   CONTINGENCIES

                      In 1997, Gary H. Davison a former officer and director of
                      the Company commenced two lawsuits against the Company in
                      the Circuit Court of Fairfax, Virginia, one for wrongful
                      termination and the other for breach of contract. The
                      breach of contract action involved claims for options to
                      purchase 100,000 shares of stock and a $100,000 bonus. On
                      February 17, 1998, a jury in Fairfax County awarded Mr.
                      Davison $1,125,000 in damages and $163,233 in interest
                      accrued from May 26, 1996 in this case. Accordingly, the
                      Company recorded a loss provision for this amount in its
                      third fiscal quarter ended January 31, 1998.
                      Subsequently, this award was reduced by $100,000. The
                      Company filed an appeal of this decision with the
                      Virginia Supreme Court.  The Company settled these
                      lawsuits  for $900,000 as part of its plan of
                      reorganization (see Note 1).


                      SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION INVESTIGATION

                      In fiscal 1995, the Securities and Exchange Commission
                      (the "SEC") began an inquiry relating to certain prior
                      public disclosures and periodic reports of the Company.
                      The Company and the SEC staff are continuing settlement
                      discussions.

                      EXCLUSIVE LICENSE AGREEMENTS

                      In May 1998, the Company entered into an exclusive

                      the agreement was five years and was renewable by the
                      Company for two additional five year terms. The Company
                      was also required to reimburse KG Data Systems, Inc.
                      certain expenses on a monthly basis, as specified in the
                      agreement This agreement was terminated on March 31, 1999

8. STOCKHOLDERS'      STOCK ISSUANCES
   EQUITY
                      On March 31, 1999, the Company acquired all of the assets
                      and assumed certain liabilities (as defined in the
                      agreement) of KG Data Systems, Inc.  The purchase price
                      amounted to $845,000, which was funded through the
                      issuance of 719,149 shares of the Company's common stock.

                      In April 1999, the Company issued 1,333,333 shares of
                      common stock for $1,000,000 though a private placement
                      offering of securities to a group of Company employees,
                      insiders and accredited investors. These proceeds, except
                      for the $152,367 placed in escrow, funded the 25% cash
                      payment to the unsecured creditors as per the plan of
                      reorganization.

                      Subsequent to April 30, 1999, but prior to the issuance
                      of this report, the Company raised $1,000,000 through a
                      private placement offering of securities ("unit") to a
                      group of accredited investors. The units were sold at
                      $1.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one of share of
                      common stock, an A warrant exercisable immediately and
                      permitting the holder to purchase one share of common
                      stock at a price of $1.50 per share, and a B warrant
                      exercisable immediately and permitting the holder to
                      purchase one half of a share of common stock at a price
                      of $2.25 per share. The warrants are exercisable for
                      three years ending July 2002. The A and B warrants may be
                      redeemed by the Company if the Company's common stock
                      remains above $3.00 and $4.50 per share, respectively,
                      for twenty consecutive trading days.

                      On January 31, 1997, the Company acquired Comstat
                      Datacomm Corporation, ("CDC"), a Georgia corporation
                      engaged in the data communications business. The
                      aggregate purchase price amounted to $1,000,000 (subject
                      to post closing adjustments) consisting of $900,000
                      funded at closing and an additional $100,000 of
                      contingent consideration. The Company funded this
                      acquisition through the issuance of 146,600 shares of its
                      common stock. An additional 43,985 shares of common stock
                      with a fair value of approximately $300,000 were placed
                      in escrow and could have been issued upon CDC achieving
                      certain revenue targets for the fiscal year ended May 31,
                      1998. The revenue targets were not met and the escrow
                      shares have been canceled.

9. STOCK OPTIONS      In 1991 and 1992, the Board of Directors approved the
                      1991 Non-Qualified, 1992 Non-Qualified and 1992 Incentive
                      Stock Option Plans (the Plans) under which options to
                      purchase up to 2,260,000 shares of common stock may be
                      granted to officers, directors and other key employees of
                      the Company.

                      The exercise price of each option may not be less than
                      100% of the fair market value of the stock on the date of
                      grant for incentive stock options or 85% of such fair
                      market value for non-qualified stock options, as
                      determined by the Board. Options vest over a three year
                      period and expire five years from the date of grant and,
                      in most cases, upon termination of employment.

                      At April 30, 1999, 514,857 stock options are exercisable
                      under the plans at exercise prices ranging from $2.06 to
                      $15.63 with a weighted-average exercise price of $6.88
                      and a weighted-average contractual maturity of
                      approximately one year, as follows: 228,582 options
                      exercisable at $2.50 to $5.88, weighted at $2.66, with a
                      weighted maturity of one-half year; 256,942 options
                      exercisable at $2.06 to $15.63, weighted at $5.25, with a
                      weighted maturity of one and one-half years; and 29,333
                      options exercisable at $6.50 to $12.00, weighted at
                      $8.39, with a weighted maturity of one year.

                      The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of
                      SFAS-No. 123 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation",
                      but applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25
                      and related interpretations in accounting for its stock
                      option plans. For SFAS No. 123 purposes, the weighted
                      average fair value of each option grant has been
                      estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
                      option pricing model with the following weighted average
                      assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 5.53% and 5.77%
                      and expected volatility of 60% and 65% for the years
                      ended April 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, a dividend
                      payout rate of zero for each year and an expected option
                      life of 5 years. Using these assumptions, the weighted
                      average fair value of the stock options granted is $0.38
                      and $1.76, for 1999 and 1998, respectively. There were no
                      adjustments made in calculating the fair value to account
                      for vesting provisions or for non-transferability or risk
                      of forfeiture.


                      If the Company had elected to recognized compensation
                      cost based on the fair value at the grant dates for
                      options issued under the plans described above,
                      consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123,
                      net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders and

10. INCOME TAXES      The Company has net operating loss carryforwards for
                      income tax reporting purposes of approximately
                      $26,006,000, which begin to expire in 2008. The amount of
                      the net operating loss carryforward related to the
                      compensation element of stock options is approximately
                      $10,156,000, which when realizable will be a credit to

================================================================================


                      Sales to customers A and B were $3,271,000 and $1,831,000
                      in 1997, respectively. Sales to customer C were
                      $1,307,000 and $2,870,000 in 1999 and 1998, respectively.

                      In 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company had export sales to
                      foreign customers totaling approximately $1,800,000,
                      $3,292,000, and $846,000, respectively. These amounts
                      constitute 39%, 37% and 8% of total revenues,
                      respectively. The export sales were made to customers in
                      Venezuela, Peru and Brazil.

12. BENEFIT PLAN      The Company maintains a defined contribution plan that
                      covers substantially all of its employees. Employees may
                      contribute a portion of their compensation as defined
                      under the Internal Revenue Code and employer
                      contributions are discretionary. There were no employer
                      contributions in 1999, 1998 or 1997.

13. FINANCIAL         Generally accepted accounting principles requires the
    INSTRUMENTS       disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments;
                      however, this information does not represent the
                      aggregate net fair value of the Company. Some of the
                      information used to determine fair value is subjective
                      and judgmental in nature; therefore, fair value
                      estimates, especially for less marketable securities, may
                      vary. The amounts actually realized  or paid upon
                      settlement or maturity could be significantly different.

                      Unless quoted market price indicates otherwise, the fair
                      value of accounts receivable generally approximates
                      market because of the short maturity of these
                      instruments. The Company has estimated the fair value of
                      long-term debt based on quoted market prices for similar
                      loans.

                      The estimated fair values of the Company's financial
                      instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes,
                      are summarized as follows:

14. FOURTH QUARTER    During the fourth quarter ended April 30, 1998, the
    ADJUSTMENTS       Company recorded provisions for obsolete inventory of
                      $570,000 and a valuation allowance related to an
                      uncollectible note receivable of $273,600 all of which
                      had the effect of increasing the operating loss and net
                      loss by $843,600 or $0.08 per share. These additional
                      provisions were necessary in the fourth quarter of fiscal
                      1998 due to changes in estimates caused by decreased
                      sales and the decline in the fair value of the related
                      collateral for the note receivable. During the fourth
                      quarter ended April 30, 1997, the Company reduced its
                      reserve for inventory obsolescence by $100,000 which had
                      the effect of reducing the operating loss and net loss by
                      $100,000 or $0.01 per share.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES  EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a
registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of
ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated
Quotations (NASDAQ) system. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent
shareholders are required by regulation to furnish the Company with copies of
all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, or
written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were
required for those persons. The Company believes that during its fiscal year
ended April 30, 1999, all filing requirements applicable to its officers,
directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with.

ITEM 11.     EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

BOARD REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Company does not have a formal compensation committee.  Compensation levels
for executive officers are approved by the Board of Directors.  The Board of
Directors is presently comprised of the following individuals:  Peter C.
Madsen, Thomas G. Amon , Edward R. Olson and Mark H. Rafferty. Salaries are
reviewed periodically and are based on individual performance, the extent of
individual responsibility and comparisons with salaries paid in the industry.

The Company recruits for its executive officer positions from within the
communications industry. In most instances, the source Company is significantly
larger than the Company. It has been the policy of the Board of Directors of
FastComm to hire executive officers at levels below that of their current
salaries along with a stock option package intended to make up for the
differentiation and to provide a performance incentive. The Company has felt
that stock options are an attractive benefit in that they enhance performance
and loyalty at little cost. The Company believes the compensation packages
offered to its current employees and prospective employees have been consistent
with that of the telecommunications industry.

The Board establishes compensation levels based on experience and
responsibility.

The Board granted seven executive officers options during fiscal 1999. Six of
these grants were determined by the individuals performance, responsibility,
seniority. The remaining grant was a condition of employment.

The Board adheres to a policy of granting options to executive officers based
upon performance and responsibility. In addition, the Board also considers the
relative importance of the job function being performed and the number of
options currently held by the executive officer.

EMPLOYMENT AND CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS

Pursuant to the Employment Agreement dated September 18, 1992, (i) Mr. Madsen
was elected President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company for an initial
term expiring on January 31, 1995 at an initial base salary of $100,000 per
year, (ii) Mr. Madsen was granted an option to purchase up to 425,000 shares of
Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price of $1.09375 per share upon
certain terms and conditions, and (iii) Mr. Madsen and Mr. Peter Sommerer were
elected directors of the Company to fill two vacancies then existing on the
Board of Directors. Mr. Sommerer has since resigned from the Board.

Under the Employment Agreement, Mr. Madsen has been granted full control of and
authority over the operations of the Company, subject to the general oversight
of the Board, and the Current Directors agreed not to take any action
inconsistent with their respective obligations thereunder. The Employment
Agreement and the related actions resulted in an effective change in control of
the Company away from Mr. Dennis to Mr. Madsen. The agreement, which currently
expires on January 31, 2000, is renewable thereafter on a year to year basis.

In connection with the acquisition of KG Data, the Company entered into a three
year Employment and Non Competition Agreement on March 31, 1999 with Kenneth A
Bloom. The Agreement provided that Dr. Bloom be employed by the Company in a
senior management capacity at an annual salary of $100,000 plus incentives based
on sales of the ChanlComm(R) product line.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Directors receive no cash compensation for their services as such, however, the
Board of Directors has authorized payment of reasonable expenses incurred by
non-employee directors in connection with attendance at meetings of the Board of
Directors. Further, members of the Company's Board of Director are granted
options to purchase common shares pursuant to the Company's 1992 Stock Option
Plan. During fiscal year 1999, the Company granted options to purchase 20,000
shares of its common stock to both Edward R. Olson and Thomas G. Amon. The
Chairman of the Board receives no compensation for serving in such capacity.

SHAREHOLDER RETURN PERFORMANCE GRAPH

The following graph compares the yearly percentage change in the cumulative
total shareholder return on the Company's Common Stock with that of the
cumulative total return of the NASDAQ Stock Market - US Index ("NASDAQ STOCK
MRKT - US") and the NASDAQ Telecommunications Index ("NASDAQ TELECOM") for the
five year period ended on April 30, 1999. The information below is based on an
investment of $100, on April 30, 1994, in the Company's Common Stock, the NASDAQ
STOCK MRKT - US and the NASDAQ TELECOM. The Company's Management consistently
cautions that the stock price performance shown in the graph below should not be
considered indicative of potential future stock price performance.

Prior to June 9, 1998, FastComm shares were traded publicly on the NASDAQ
National Market under the symbol FSCX. On June 9, 1998, the Company's shares
were delisted from the National Market System. Effective June 16, 1998, the

issued and outstanding.  As of such date, options to purchase 1,765,992 shares
of Common Stock were outstanding.

Each holder of shares of Common Stock, but not holders of unexercised options,
is entitled to one vote per share on each matter, which may be presented at a
meeting of shareholders. Cumulative voting is not allowed. Prior to June 9,
1998, FastComm shares were traded publicly on the NASDAQ National Market under
the symbol FSCX. On June 9, 1998, the Company's shares were delisted from the
National Market System. Effective June 16, 1998, the Company's shares have been

The following table sets forth information regarding ownership of Common Stock
of the Company at July 8, 1999, by each person who is known by management of the
Company to own beneficially more than five percent of the Common Stock (setting
forth the address of each such person), by each director, by the Named Executive
Officers of the Company identified in "Item 11. Executive Compensation," and by
all directors and Named Executive Officers of the Company as a group. Shares
issuable on exercise of warrants or options exercisable within 60 days are
deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership
of persons beneficially owning such warrants or options, but have not been
deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership
of any other person. Except as otherwise indicated, the persons indicated below
have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares indicated as
owned by them except as otherwise stated in the notes to the table.

ITEM 13.     CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

On March 31, 1999, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District
of Virginia approved the transfer of the approved bankruptcy claim of Gary H.
Davison from Mr. Davison to Peter C. Madsen.  Mr. Madsen is President, Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company.   As a result of this
transaction,  Mr. Madsen assumed the rights held by Mr. Davison against the
Company.  As such, Mr. Madsen was paid $225,000 and was issued a convertible
debenture in the amount of $675,000.  Mr. Madsen's claim against the Company
and the terms and conditions of the debenture held by Mr. Madsen are consistent
with that of  the other approved creditors in the Company's reorganization.

The Company paid the law firm of Amon & Sabatini $50,000 in the fiscal year
ended April 30, 1999. Thomas G. Amon, a Director of the Company since December
1994, was a partner of Amon and Sabatini. In connection with the reorganization,
Mr. Amon's law firm was paid $5,000 and issued $15,000 in convertible
debentures.

On February 13, 1997, FastComm entered into an agreement whereby it leased a
facility in Georgia that is owned by Richard L Apel. Mr. Apel was a Vice
President of the Company. The Company paid $87,000 to Mr. Apel in the fiscal
year ended April 30, 1998. Also, in connection with the fiscal 1997 acquisition
of Comstat, Mr Apel was loaned $300,000. The loan bears interest at 2 1/2 %
above the prime lending rate. The Company rejected this facility lease in its
plan of reorganization. The loan has been satisfied.

During fiscal year 1999, the Company loaned $30,000, under normal terms and
conditions, to one of its senior officers.

The terms of the transactions described above were negotiated at arms length
such that the terms were as favorable to the Company as could have been obtained
from an unaffiliated third party.

The Company has entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of
its directors and executive officers that may require the Company, among other
things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason
of their status or service as directors or officers.
