ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Founded in 1991, Ezenia! Inc. develops and markets products that enable
organizations to provide high-quality group communication and collaboration
capabilities to commercial, consumer and institutional users. The Company's
products allow individuals and groups that are geographically distant from each
other to interact and share information in a natural, spontaneous way --
voice-to-voice, face-to-face, flexibly and in real-time -- via a wide range of
networks. Using our products, disparately located individuals can interact
through a natural meeting experience, allowing groups to work together
effectively and disseminate vital information quickly. The Company's products
enable seamless connectivity across a wide range of networks including LANs,
intranets, the Internet, ISDN, ATM and frame relay.

We believe Ezenia! offers one of the most comprehensive sets of collaborative
products available. For example, between our legacy ISDN videoconferencing
products, our IP-based Encounter and InfoWorkSpace products, we enable
videoconferencing, voice communication, instant messaging, whiteboarding and
virtual workspaces. Furthermore, because our products include both software only
solutions and configurable hardware solutions, in contrast to the products
offered by our competitors, Ezenia!'s products can be deployed easily at small
sites or in locations with a large number of users.

Ezenia! sells its products worldwide through leading resellers, integrators and
remarketers of collaboration, videoconferencing and networking solutions,
including Tandberg, Sony, General Dynamics and NTT-ME, each of which is widely
acknowledged as a leader in its field. Ezenia! also sells directly to providers
of conferencing services and end-users of collaboration products.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

MULTIMEDIA CONFERENCING

The current market for interactive collaboration has evolved from the earlier
videoconferencing sector. In the late 1980s, the videoconferencing market was
fragmented, with each vendor providing a proprietary solution. This market was
limited by the lack of interoperability between the various products available.
If one company had a product from vendor A, it would be unable to communicate
with a company that had a videoconferencing product from vendor B.

The videoconferencing market began to grow in the early 1990s spurred by the
International Telecommunications Union's (ITU) introduction of the H.320
standard for videoconferencing over switched digital circuit networks. For the
first time, a standard framework allowed equipment from different manufacturers
to communicate with each other. Since the advantage of these services is dial-up
communications, without regard to the type of equipment being used at the
receiving ends of the transmission, compatibility is particularly important for
communication via these networks.

In May 1996, an important expansion of conferencing standards was realized with
the introduction of the H.323 standard governing real-time collaboration over IP
(Internet Protocol) networks, including local area networks (LANs), corporate
intranets and the Internet. Enabling conferencing over traditional business
networks provides a foundation for the adoption of this application as a
mainstream business tool. The majority of endpoint vendors who market H.320
compliant products have introduced or announced their intention to introduce
H.323 compliant endpoints as well.

                                                                               4
<Page>

Through the 1990s the videoconferencing industry experienced moderate growth,
but the size of the total market was limited by difficult access to ISDN and
expensive videoconferencing hardware. Beyond the technical difficulties, users
felt that videoconferencing was limited and that a more complete solution was
needed. As organizations became more decentralized and dispersed, users sought
solutions that would allow them to do more than simply talk and see other users
online.

With the explosive growth of the Internet and the innovated technologies that
followed, a new class of applications emerged. Real-time collaboration takes the
best elements of videoconferencing and joins them with the ubiquity and
ease-of-use of the Internet. Where videoconferencing requires expensive hardware
and focuses on quality video, real-time collaboration uses video when necessary
but goes beyond it by offering a more complete solution, enabling teams to work
more effectively from disperse locations. Real-time solutions often bring video
and audio conferencing to the desktop and can include such other features as
integrating data conferencing, whiteboarding, instant messaging and virtual
meeting spaces.

The use of real-time collaborative technologies within the enterprise is still
in its infancy. During the next two to four years, the Company expects to see
the accelerated growth of real-time collaboration. The investment in information
and collaborative technologies today has already helped flatten organizations
and improve enterprise wide communication. The goal today is not to provide
access to legacy data stored on a server, but to find ways to enable knowledge
workers to collaborate and share their expertise. Collaborative technologies are
about creating value through better human interaction, not just better
information. Businesses and government organizations today need solutions that
make it easier for people to work together, to share information and expertise
across the building, country or around the world.

The use of real-time collaboration and videoconferencing technology has also
made its way outside the enterprise and is being used across the public
Internet. Sometimes called the Web talk or Web interactivity market, Web sites
today are enhancing their services by providing interactive voice and video
communication services. For example, some e-business sites are using Web
interactivity to resolve one of the biggest issues in e-commerce: poor customer
service caused by lack of human interaction. Other sites are using Web
interactivity to improve Web site retention by enabling lively voice chat
communities of interest.

THE EZENIA! SOLUTION

Ezenia! was founded in 1991 to develop a new generation of solutions architected
for the multimedia collaboration market. The Ezenia! product line is built on an
industry standard hardware and software platform that combines a powerful set of
real-time collaboration applications with management tools and network
connectivity features that aim to address the requirements of today's customers
and, the Company believes, are positioned to meet emerging requirements. Ezenia!
competes in three key markets:

Enterprise Collaboration - Ezenia! solutions are being used across the world to
allow teams to work together more effectively from dispersed locations. With the
Company's products, individuals and teams can collaborate face-to-face,
voice-to-voice, while sharing data such as a presentation or spreadsheet.

Web Interactivity - Ezenia! solutions can enhance a Web site by enabling
interactive voice communication. With the Company's products, Web sites can host
voice chat communities, hold online events or bring the human touch to the
e-commerce process by online access to customer service representatives.

Conferencing - The Company provides products that allow users of traditional
videoconferencing equipment to hold large multi-location meetings as well as
enabling them to bridge and connect the world of ISDN conferencing with IP-based
users.

                                                                               5

PRODUCTS

The Company's technology manages audio, video and data when more than two sites
participate in a collaborative conference and also allows for point-to-point
instant messaging between two or more participants. In the past, solutions have
been available to connect people on a point-to-point basis. Today, an increasing
number of users are finding group collaboration and group chat to be an even
more effective way of communicating. The Company believes group capabilities
will be one of the key requirements for the long-term growth of the real-time
collaboration market.

Ezenia!'s expertise is in developing products that deliver flexible support for
video, audio and data collaboration across a wide range of platforms. The
Company's products have been designed within a scaleable, modular architecture
to allow the customer to add capacity, processing power and conferencing
features as the customer's network and application requirements grow. Using a
common set of hardware and software building blocks, customers can choose from a
wide range of product configurations that differ in capacity, price, network
connectivity and features, all of which share the same operating software user
interface. Products may be configured for use in customer premises environments
or may be configured with specialized packaging for use in a telephone carrier's
central office setting.

The Ezenia! family of products includes:

ENCOUNTER - The Encounter family includes the Encounter 3000 NetServer, the
Encounter 1000 NetServer and the Encounter 3000 NetGate. The Encounter NetServer
enables users on IP networks -- corporate LANs, intranets or the Internet -- to
create and participate in group, multimedia conferences. The Encounter NetGate
enables multimedia conferencing between ISDN and IP endpoints.

EZENIA! INTERACTIVITY - Ezenia! Interactivity enables Web sites and portals to
host live, interactive voice chat rooms and interactive events, such as online
"talk shows." Designed to be integrated with the host organization's existing
Web infrastructure, Ezenia! Interactivity is a scalable solution consisting of a
server platform, controlling software and a developer's toolkit.

SERIES 2000 - The Series 2000 family of servers provide the optimal solution for
companies looking to deliver multimedia conferencing over dedicated or circuit
switched networks. These servers include network interface modules that support
all major types of connectivity, including Primary Rate ISDN, Basic Rate ISDN
and ATM, and E1 and T1 access. The Company's solutions also support large hybrid
networks, such as T1, E1, BRI, V.35/RS-499, ATM and Frame Relay. Ezenia!'s
open-system architecture interoperates with any endpoint-based on the H.320
standard and any circuit-based digital network or mix of networks.

INFOWORKSPACE - InfoWorkSpace from Ezenia! provides dispersed workers a secure
virtual workspace for team collaboration. Easily accessible through a Web
browser or application client, users meet in virtual buildings and rooms via the
Internet. In these virtual workspaces, they communicate in real-time using
powerful capabilities.

Instant messaging, whiteboarding, screen sharing and text chat are among the
wide array of collaboration tools. The ability to discuss projects, share
information and allow remote users to modify documents can significantly improve
team communication and accelerate the decision-making process.

Users can instantly contact partners in their organization using our on-line or
off-line messaging options and bring them into the environment for real-time
collaboration.

                                                                               6

ENCOUNTER FAMILY OF CONFERENCING PRODUCTS

The Company began shipping the first products in its Encounter family of network
servers and gateways in March 1998. The Encounter product family allows
individuals and groups that are geographically distant from each other to
interact and share information in a natural, spontaneous way -- voice-to-voice,
face-to-face, flexibly and in real-time -- via any type of network. The
Encounter family is being used by enterprise customers and distance learning
facilities across the world.

The Encounter product line includes:

-    Encounter 1000 NetServer: Collaboration server marketed to small
     enterprises and workgroups. Encounter 1000 NetServer is a software-based
     product that runs on a standard Windows NT Server.

-    Encounter 3000 NetServer: Real-time collaboration server designed to
     support the largest enterprise and service provider customers.

-    Encounter 3000 NetGate: Gateway solution that allows traditional
     videoconferencing systems to participate in IP-based collaboration
     sessions.

ENCOUNTER NETSERVER

The Encounter NetServer is designed to allow groups of users to come together
online and work collaboratively. The product allows users to interact and share
information in a natural, spontaneous way -- voice-to-voice and face-to-face.
The solution comes in two main versions: Encounter 1000 NetServer is a
software-based solution designed for small workgroups; the Encounter 3000
NetServer is a hardware-based solution designed for large enterprises and
service providers. Both products provide the same core feature set and are
managed by the same unified Web-based interface.

The Encounter 3000 NetServer is delivered as a complete system ready for
deployment. The NetServer is based on an industry standard PC platform using an
Intel Pentium control processor for control and incorporates high-performance
digital signal processors for real-time video and audio processing. The
Encounter 3000 NetServer operates on a Windows(R) NT platform and leverages
Microsoft IIS. It supports as many as 90 conference endpoints and can reside
anywhere in a TCP/IP network.

The Encounter 3000 NetServer is available in two chassis versions, the workgroup
and enterprise chassis. The only difference between the chassis types is the
physical size and number of slots within the chassis. All multimedia processing
is handled by the Multimedia Processing Unit (MPU) that are common to both
chassis. These MPUs are PCI-based boards that leverage Digital Signal Processors
(DSPs) to ensure a high level of audio quality.

The complete Encounter 3000 product line is based upon a modular architecture to
ensure simple and flexible upgrade options. Systems can be purchased supporting
anywhere from 8 to 64 connected users. System capacity can easily be increased
by adding additional processing and network modules into the Encounter chassis.
This approach ensures that the Encounter series can expand to support increasing
levels of user demand. As the required capacity increases, more processing
modules can be installed into a chassis to provide an increased port count. Each
processing module provides dedicated digital signal processing (DSP)
capabilities. This ensures that as user demand increases additional processing
cycles are being added to the system in parallel. This approach avoids
overloading a single processor with more and more requests as user capacity is
increased.

                                                                               7
<Page>

Encounter NetServer provides a simple-to-use, Web-based interface, eCMS
(Encounter Centralized Management System) that allows users to schedule and
manage conferences. The Encounter eCMS application also supports scheduling
of public conferences. These provide a conferencing space for users to join
on a first-come-first-served basis. eCMS supports the creation and scheduling
of publicly listed conferences in which the user need only specify the
maximum number of H.323 users and maximum number of POTS (plain old telephone
system) users. No specific user information needs to be entered unless
desired by the conference administrator. This significantly reduces the
burden on conference administrators for meetings, which do not require a list
of participants.

The Encounter NetServer also includes the Encounter Gatekeeper software, which
provides the administrator a highly configurable means for managing access and
bandwidth utilization policies for the system IP conferencing environment. The
Encounter Gatekeeper is a software application, which can run on the Encounter
NetServer or on a separate NT Server.

The Encounter 1000 NetServer, which is geared towards smaller workgroups or more
distributed organizations, provides all the same capabilities as the Encounter
3000 NetServer such as continuous presence, T.120 data conferencing and audio
mixing, and also includes both eCMS and the Encounter Gatekeeper. Unlike the
Encounter 3000, however, the Encounter 1000 is completely software-based,
running on a standard Windows NT Server. The Encounter 1000 contains no special
software and ships as a CD-ROM for easy installation. Where the Encounter 3000
uses hardware-based DSP to manage the multimedia streams, Encounter 1000 uses
the host Pentium processor for all media processing. Because it is
software-based, and runs on any standard Windows NT Server, it is a lower cost
solution for smaller workgroups where the scalability of the Encounter 3000
NetServer is not needed.

The Encounter NetServer has a variety of features, some of which are listed
below:

-    Flexible video viewing choices include voice-activated video-switching,
     user selected video switching and Continuous Presence, where four video
     windows are viewed at the same time.
-    Audio transcoding allows each endpoint to experience optimal voice quality,
     while minimizing bandwidth utilized.
-    Built-in voice gateway allows up to 24 phone users to participate in
     conference sessions.
-    Interactive Voice Response (IVR) allows phone users to easily enter their
     conference by providing conference and password information using touch
     tones (DTMF).
-    Password-controlled entry to conferences provides security for conference
     participants.
-    Conference cascading allows conferences to span between any two Encounter
     3000 NetServers, no matter where they are located. This allows for the
     distribution of Encounter 3000 NetServer conferencing resources to where
     they most make sense in the network and allows for the creation of
     conferences that are larger than the capacity of a single Encounter 3000
     NetServer.
-    With ConferenceNow! endpoint users can create and join multipoint
     conferences on Encounter 3000 NetServer on an ad-hoc basis, as easily as
     placing a point-to-point call.
-    Calendar-based reservation and scheduling system for control of multiple
     NetServers, eCMS allows users and administrators to view, schedule and
     manage their own conferencing session through an intuitive Web browser
     interface.
-    Recording of detailed usage information facilitates accurate billing and
     reporting.

ENCOUNTER 3000 NETGATE

The Encounter 3000 NetGate enables multimedia conferencing between H.320 and
H.323 endpoints. The Encounter NetGate reconciles the differences in the network
protocols allowing users to collaborate in real-time via audio, video and data,
regardless of their network type.

                                                                               8
<Page>

The Encounter 3000 NetGate shares many of the same characteristics of the
Encounter 3000 NetServer. The system is delivered as a complete system based on
an industry standard PC platform using an Intel Pentium control processor for
control and incorporates high-performance digital signal processors for
real-time video and audio processing. The Encounter 3000 NetGate operates on a
Windows(R) NT platform and leverages Microsoft IIS. It supports as many as 16
conference sessions.

The Encounter 3000 NetServer is available in two chassis versions, the workgroup
and enterprise chassis. The only difference between the chassis types is the
physical size and number of slots within the chassis. All multimedia processing
is handled by the Multimedia Processing Unit (MPU) that are common to both
chassis. These MPUs are PCI-based boards that leverage Digital Signal Processors
(DSPs) to ensure a high level of audio quality. The Encounter 3000 NetGate
supports a variety of network interface including 10/100BaseT Ethernet, Dual
port T1/PRI, Dual port E1/PRI, Quad port BRI and Dual port V.35/V.36/RS-449 DDM
making it possible to connect with just about any type of network.

The Encounter NetGate has numerous features, some of which are listed below:

-    Supports restricted and unrestricted rates of 2B up to 768 Kbps IMUXed and
     384 Kbps H0, allowing for a high-quality conferencing experience.
-    Direct Inward Dialing (DID) and IVR facilitate WAN to LAN dialing.
-    Dynamically selects best available video standard (supports H.261 and
     H.263) per session based on endpoint capabilities.
-    Real-time voice transcoding optimizes performance on a call-by-call basis.
-    Direct connection between the Encounter 3000 NetGate and Ezenia! Series
     2000 MCS without incurring costly line charges.
-    LAN to WAN, WAN to LAN calls and administrator-initiated gateway calls
     supported at all transfer rates, providing call flexibility.
-    Tandem gateway support (NetGate to NetGate) provides cost-effective means
     for bridging WAN or LAN links.
-    Web-browser based administrative user interface allows system
     administrators to configure, manage and monitor gateway activity, including
     customization of system-wide behavior for support of T.120, WAN to LAN and
     LAN to WAN calls.

EZENIA! INTERACTIVITY - BRING LIFE TO THE WEB

Ezenia! Interactivity allows companies to add easy-to-use voice interactivity to
their Web sites. With Ezenia! Interactivity, individuals and groups can meet on
the Web and talk with each other in a high-quality audio environment, adding the
natural ease and richness of conversation to their Internet experience. Ezenia!
Interactivity enables Web sites and portals to host voice and video chat rooms,
where family, friends, colleagues or communities of interest can meet and talk.
Sites can draw large or specialized audiences by hosting events such as online
talk shows that allow listeners to interact with celebrity guests or experts on
a hot topic. Ezenia! Interactivity consists of two components: The Interactivity
software and Media Service Provider (MSP) subsystems.

The Interactivity Server software provides an application programmer interface,
based on Microsoft Component Object Model (COM) technology. The software
interfaces exposed by an Interactivity Server allows Web content developers to
integrate interactivity into Web site while maintaining the sites current look

completely hidden from the user - the user simply sees the browser and whatever
your Web site looks like. To enter an interactive session, the user simply
clicks on a hyperlink or an icon and they enter the session - "click to talk."

INFOWORKSPACE

InfoWorkSpace is a suite of Web-enabled collaboration and conferencing
applications that help an organization build an online community and structure
its knowledge management enterprise. The suite is a Web-based package of
collaborative solutions that facilitate communication, data conferencing and
knowledge management among dispersed members of any workgroup. InfoWorkSpace has
been named the collaborative software standard for both the U.S. Air Force and
U.S. Army command and control systems.

InfoWorkSpace applications are in Java, accessed via a Web browser or Java
Client, and include instant messaging (IM), chat, IP audio, Web video,
application sharing, application casting, desktop conferencing, virtual meetings
and Web presentations. InfoWorkSpace Version 2.5 is the latest generation of
this technology, instituting the lessons learned in global deployments and
during major exercises for the Department of Defense and National Intelligence
Community. InfoWorkSpace 2.5 provides increased functionality, has a redesigned
user interface and provides a more modular and adaptable product for integration
with distinct customer systems and software.

To set up and maintain a virtual work place environment, a dedicated
InfoWorkSpace server is inserted in the existing operation. Its purpose is not
to replace the function of current operating workstations, but to enhance them.
This additional equipment is set up for the primary purpose of managing and
protecting the virtual space, the organization's documents and for controlling
access. The server needs to be powerful enough to meet demanding needs of a
growing or busy organization. Currently, InfoWorkSpace client software is
available for Windows 98/NT/2000/XP and Sun Solaris 2.6 - Solaris 8 platforms.

InfoWorkSpace comes pre-configured with the following modular components -
database server, Web server, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server
and a real-time messaging server. These components form the software
architecture that the InfoWorkSpace software relies upon to provide
functionality to the user. For those organizations running Exchange 2000 for
scheduling and email, InfoWorkSpace provides interfaces to the Exchange
2000/Active Directory environment. Other external LDAP servers can be supported
if an organization has already invested in directory services for their
enterprise.

The InfoWorkSpace has a variety of features, some of which are listed below:

-    Accessible via either browser (with Java 2 plug-in) or Java application
     client.

                                                                              11
<Page>

-    Integration between the LaunchPad instant messenger environment and the
     InfoWorkSpace meeting rooms provides a seamless collaborative experience
     for all users.
-    Firewall/Proxy Compatibility - All data can be transmitted across port 80
     when necessary. Voice requires the addition of UDP port 8084.
-    Federated Servers - The ability of multiple servers to form one seamless
     collaborative enterprise with unitary login-in, federated user contact and
     seamless navigation.
-    Advanced Security - InfoWorkSpace supports the use of Secure Socket Layer
     (SSL) encryption (for data transmission privacy) and X.509v3 Digital
     Certificates (for authentication purposes).
-    Administration - InfoWorkSpace provides extensive administration interfaces
     for centralized management of the collaborative environment.
-    Application casting via "Shared View."
-    Microsoft Outlook integration and virtual session calendar (My Meetings, My
     Room's Meetings, etc.).
-    Address book with user profiles that can be searched based on user's
     experience and knowledge keywords.
-    Document management via the room file cabinet and the user's personal
     document briefcase.
-    Collaborative Tools - Whiteboard, text editor, bulletin board, discussion
     groups and text chat (public and private).
-    Audio and video (from Web cameras and IP audio to H.323).
-    Presence detection (whether the user is just using the LaunchPad instant
     messenger or the InfoWorkSpace meeting room).

MARKET AND CHANNELS

Ezenia! sells its products, technologies and solutions primarily to large-scale
corporations, government entities, educational institutions, telecommunication
providers and resellers and distributors both domestically and internationally.
Ezenia! delivers its products through distributors, dealers, vertical market
resellers, systems integrators and OEMs who meet the Company's criteria, as well
as to major end-users.

A large portion of the Company's revenue continues to come from OEM partners. In
2001, PictureTel and VTEL accounted for 13% and 6% of revenue, respectively. In
2000, PictureTel and VTEL accounted for 26% and 17% of revenue, respectively. In
1999, PictureTel and VTEL accounted for 24% and 25% of revenue, respectively.
Revenue from international markets accounted for 41%, 40% and 27% of the
Company's revenue for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

Ezenia! conducts its sales and marketing activities from its principal offices
in Burlington, Massachusetts, as well as from two other North American sales
locations, its European headquarters in the United Kingdom and offices in Hong
Kong and China.

RESEARCH AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

The Company believes that its future success depends on its ability to
continue to enhance and expand its existing products and to develop new
products that maintain its technology leadership. Ezenia! has invested, and
expects to continue to invest, in the development of products and core
technologies. Extensive product development input is obtained from customers,
partners and service providers and through the Company's active participation
and leadership in industry groups responsible for establishing technical
standards such as the ITU and the IETF.

Since its founding, the Company's research and development effort has been
directed towards the development of standards-based collaboration server
technology. In concert with the evolution of industry standards, these efforts
currently are focused on extending the breadth of network services supported
beyond switched digital services to include local area networks, corporate
intranets, the Internet and ATM. This includes the development of

                                                                              12
<Page>

multipoint products for particular network types and gateway products to provide
interoperability between dissimilar network types. Development is also underway
to support emerging data conferencing applications, provide additional
conferencing management capabilities including enhanced user interfaces and to
add higher capacities to the product families.

At December 31, 2001, Ezenia!'s research and development staff consisted of 49
employees, principally software engineers. The Company's net research and
development expenditures were $8.2 million, $14.4 million and $15.1 million in
2001, 2000 and 1999, representing 54%, 51% and 26% of revenue in those years.
All software development costs have been expensed as incurred because costs
eligible for capitalization have not been material to date.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND SERVICE

The Company provides technical support and services to its resellers and direct
customers. A high level of continuing service and support is critical to the
Company's objective of developing long-term relationships with customers. The
Company's resellers offer a broad range of support including installation,
maintenance and on-site and headquarters-level technical support of products to
their end-user customers. Ezenia! provides a comprehensive service program
including problem management, training, diagnostic tools, hardware repair
services, software updates and upgrades and spare parts programs to facilitate
and supplement the efforts of the Company's resellers.

The Company offers a technical support hotline to its resellers and customers.
Network support engineers answer technical support calls placed by the support
engineers of the Company's resellers and by its direct customers. The engineers
generally provide same-day responses to questions that cannot be resolved during
the initial call. The products are designed with advanced remote diagnostic
capabilities that permit a reseller's or the Company's support engineers to
immediately begin the process of diagnosing any problems in the field, thereby
reducing both response time and cost. When necessary, however, support engineers
are dispatched to the customer's facility.

The Company warranties its software products for 90 days. During this 90-day
warranty period, the Company will investigate all reported problems and will
follow escalation procedures to provide resolution. The Company warranties its
hardware products for 12 months. During this warranty period, the Company will
repair or replace any failed hardware component. The Company also offers
post-warranty support programs ranging from services on a time-and-materials
basis to full-service contracts on a 24-hour, 7-days-a-week basis and a full
suite of training courses.

MANUFACTURING

The Company's manufacturing operations consist primarily of materials
management, quality control, test engineering, production, shipping and
logistics. The Company employs an outsourced manufacturing model in which it
designs the significant hardware subassemblies for its products and uses
independent third-party contract assembly companies to perform printed circuit
board assembly and other production activities with internal efforts generally
limited to final product configuration, assembly and testing. This manufacturing
model offers the capability to quickly fulfill orders with limited lead times
thus providing enhanced customer satisfaction and improved inventory management.
All products are functionally tested utilizing state-of-the-art equipment
designed for "burn-in," diagnostic testing and stress screen testing to assure
the reliability and quality of the Company's products. The Company achieved
International Standard Organization (ISO) 9002 certification in 1994 and each
year since has been re-certified.

                                                                              13
<Page>

Although the Company generally uses standard parts and components for its
products, certain components, including key digital signal processors are
presently available only from single sources or from limited sources such as
Texas Instruments, Motorola and 8X8. The Company has no supply commitments from
its vendors, and generally purchases components on a purchase order basis as
opposed to entering into long-term procurement agreements with vendors. The
Company has been able to obtain adequate supplies of components in a timely
manner from current vendors, or when necessary to meet production needs, from
alternate vendors. The Company believes that, for digital signal processors in
particular, alternative sources of supply would be difficult to develop over a
short period of time and an interruption in supply or a significant increase in
the price of these components would adversely affect the Company's operating
results and business.

Because of the generally short cycle between order and shipment and because the
majority of the Company's sales in each quarter results from orders booked in
that quarter, the Company does not have a material backlog.

COMPETITION

The market for multimedia collaboration products is highly competitive. We
consider our primary competitors to be Polycom, RADvision and Lucent. We also
face competition or potential competition from companies that provide similar,
but not directly competing products, such as FVC, Centra, WebEx and IBM Lotus,
or companies that could expand their offerings and develop a product similar to
ours such as Microsoft. Many of these companies, as well as other current and
potential competitors, have substantially greater financial, technical and
sales and marketing resources than the Company. If we are unable to convince
companies with collaboration and videoconferencing needs to adopt our
videoconferencing, Encounter and InfoWorkSpace collaboration products over
the current technologies marketed by our competitors, our financial results will
suffer, through price reductions and loss of market share.

The principal competitive factors in the market for multimedia collaboration
are, and should continue to be, breadth of capabilities, demonstrated
interoperability, price, performance, network management capabilities,
reliability, customer support and security. We plan to compete by offering
collaboration and enterprise products with a broad range of capabilities and
high performance. However, we can not be certain that potential customers will
be attracted to our products, especially if our competitors were to invest
substantially more money into their products and technology.

The Company currently competes, or expects to compete, directly or indirectly
with the following category of companies:

-    Real-time collaboration companies, such as Cu-See-Me Networks, Centra,
     WebEx and RADvision

-    Web interactivity companies, such as Hearme.com, Firetalk and Lipstream

-    Conferencing companies, such as Accord and Lucent

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

The Company holds ten U.S. patents, two corresponding patents in foreign
jurisdictions and has several patent applications pending in the United States
and other jurisdictions. In addition, the Company relies on a combination of
contractual rights, trade secrets and copyright laws to establish and protect
its intellectual property rights. The Company believes that, because of the
rapid pace of technological change in the data communications and
telecommunications industries, the intellectual property protection for its
products is only one factor in the Company's success, complementing the
knowledge, abilities and experience of the Company's

                                                                              14
<Page>

employees, the frequency of its product enhancements, its relationships with its
partners, the effectiveness of its marketing activities and the timeliness and
quality of its support services.

On June 16, 2000, the Company settled its patent infringement suit against
Accord Networks Ltd. ("Accord") in the United States District Court for the
District of Massachusetts. The settlement agreement, among other things,
provided that the Company receive $6,500,000 in return for a covenant not to sue
with respect to the patents that were the subject of the litigation. The Company
received $500,000 at the time the agreement was signed, and by December 31,
2000, received an additional $5,025,000. The final $975,000 is being held in
escrow until certain tax matters related to the settlement are resolved with tax
authorities in Israel.

EMPLOYEES

At December 31, 2001, the Company employed a total of 116 persons, including 49
in research and development, 38 in sales, marketing and customer support, 7 in
manufacturing and 22 in finance and administration. 10 of the Company's
employees were located internationally and the remainder were located in the
United States. None of the Company's employees are represented by a labor
organization, and the Company believes that its relations with employees are
good.

The Company's success depends, to a significant degree, upon the continuing
contributions of its key management, sales, marketing and research and
development personnel, many of whom would be difficult to replace, including
Khoa Nguyen, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. The Company does not have
employment contracts with its key personnel other than Khoa Nguyen. The Company
believes that its future success will depend in large part upon its ability to
attract and retain such key employees.

                                                                              15

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

The Company's corporate office and principal research, development and
manufacturing facility is located in Burlington, Massachusetts, in a 60,000
square foot facility. At the Company's current level of operations, the
Burlington facility has significant excess capacity. The Company is exploring
alternatives to move to a smaller more cost-efficient facility. Because of the
depressed real estate market in Massachusetts, at the current time, the Company
cannot estimate when such a move will be completed, if at all.

The Company's European headquarters is located in a 6,500 square foot facility
in Wokingham, Berkshire, United Kingdom, which the Company leases under a
five-year agreement expiring in February 2005 and is utilized principally for
sales, marketing and customer service activities. The Company also has
sales/service offices located in Alexandria, Virginia; Beijing, China and Hong
Kong and a development/service office in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

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

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those
related to revenue recognition, bad debts, inventories and warranty obligations.
We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We
believe the following critical accounting policies and the related judgments and
estimates affect the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

REVENUE RECOGNITION Our policy is to recognize revenue from product sales upon
shipment to our customers and the fulfillment of all contractual terms and
conditions, pursuant to the guidance provided by Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB 101), issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

Revenue from sales of InfoWorkSpace software licenses and maintenance agreements
is recognized ratably over the subscription contract periods. Products and
software licenses are sold without any contractual right of return to the
customer. Judgments are required in evaluating the credit worthiness of our
customers. Credit is not extended to customers and revenue is not recognized
until we have determined that the risk of uncollectibility is minimal.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS Our policy is to maintain allowances for
estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required
payments. Credit limits are established through a process of reviewing the
financial history and stability of each customer. Where appropriate, we obtain
credit rating reports and financial statements of the customer when determining
or modifying their credit limits. We regularly evaluate the collectibility of
our trade receivable balances based on a combination of factors. When a
customer's account balance becomes past due, we initiate dialogue with the
customer to determine the cause. If it is determined that the customer will be
unable to meet its financial obligation to us, such as in the case of a
bankruptcy filing, deterioration in the customer's operating results or
financial position or other material events impacting their business, we record
a specific allowance to reduce the related receivable to the amount we expect to
recover given all information presently available.

Historically, the Company has not experienced significant bad debt losses. At
December 31, 2001, our accounts receivable balance of $2.3 million is reported
net of allowances of approximately $900 thousand. We believe our reported
allowances are adequate. If the financial conditions of our customers were to
deteriorate, however, resulting in their inability to make payments, we may need
to record additional allowances, which would result in additional expenses being
recorded for the period in which such determination was made.

INVENTORY RESERVES As a designer, developer and manufacturer of real-time
collaboration solutions, we are exposed to a number of economic and industry
factors that could result in portions of our inventory becoming either obsolete
or in excess of anticipated usage. These factors include, but are not limited
to, technological changes in our markets, our ability to meet changing customer
requirements, competitive pressures in products and prices and the availability
of key components from our suppliers. Our policy is to establish inventory
reserves when conditions exist that suggest that our inventory may be in excess
of anticipated demand or is obsolete based upon our assumptions about future
demand for our products and market conditions. We regularly evaluate the ability
to realize the value of our inventory based on a combination of factors
including the following: historical usage rates, forecasted sales or usage,
product end of life dates, estimated current and future market values and new
product introductions. Purchasing requirements and alternative usage avenues are
explored within these processes to mitigate inventory exposure. When recorded,
our reserves are intended to reduce the carrying value of our

                                                                              19
<Page>

inventory to its net realizable value. At December 31, 2001, our inventory of
$3.9 million is stated net of inventory reserves of approximately $1.9 million.
If actual demand for our products deteriorate or market conditions are less
favorable than those that we project, additional inventory reserves may be
required.

IMPAIRMENT The Company reviews the carrying values of long-lived assets and
amortizable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. An impairment loss for an asset to be held and used is recognized
when the estimated fair value of the asset is less than its carrying value. The
fair value of long-lived assets is generally based on estimated future cash
flows from operations. The estimates reflect the Company's assumptions about
selling prices, production and sales volume levels, costs and market conditions
over the estimated remaining operating period, which generally ranges from one
to five years. If the Company's assumptions related to assets to be held and
used are inaccurate, additional write-downs may be required in the future.

PRODUCT WARRANTIES Our products are sold with warranty provisions that require
us to remedy deficiencies in quality or performance of our products over a
specified period of time at no cost to our customers. Our policy is to establish
warranty reserves at the time of sale at levels that represent our estimate of
the costs that will be incurred to fulfill those warranty requirements. We
believe that our recorded liability at December 31, 2001, is adequate to cover
our future cost of materials, labor and overhead for the servicing of our
products sold through that date. If actual product failures, or material or
service delivery costs differ from our estimates, our warranty liability would
need to be revised accordingly.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000 AND 1999

REVENUE Revenue decreased to $15.1 million in 2001 from $28.1 million in
2000. The decrease in revenue was principally related to a significant
decline in sales of ISDN products and related service revenues as the
videoconferencing market continued to weaken. In particular, sales of ISDN
products and related services to two of the Company's largest customers,
PictureTel Corporation and VTEL Corporation, were significantly lower than in
the year ended December 31, 2000. ISDN product revenue from PictureTel was
$1.9 million in 2001 compared to $6.9 million in 2000. ISDN product revenue
from VTEL was $.8 million in 2001 compared to $2.5 million in 2000. In
addition to the decline in sales of ISDN products and services, the overall
decrease in revenue is also attributable to the sale of the Company's network
access card (NAC) product line in September 2000. Revenue from the sales of
NAC products approximated $3.3 million during the year ended December 31,
2000. These decreases were offset by $1.9 million of revenue associated with
the Company's InfoWorkSpace product line acquired in March 2001.

Revenue decreased to $28.1 million in 2000 from $58.1 million in 1999. The
decrease was primarily related to the beginning of the decline in sales of ISDN
products and related service revenues as the videoconferencing market started to
weaken. In particular ISDN product revenue from sales to PictureTel decreased to
$6.9 million in 2000 from $13.0 million in 1999. ISDN product revenue from sales
to VTEL decreased to $2.5 million in 2000 from $11.1 million in 1999. Revenue
from the sales of NAC products decreased by $2.4 million in 2000, as compared to
1999, attributable in part to the sale of the NAC product line in September
2000.

GROSS PROFIT Cost of revenues includes material costs, manufacturing labor and
overhead and customer support costs. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues
decreased in 2001 to 37.4% from 48.5% in 2000 and 62.3% in 1999. Reduction in
margin for each of the last two years was primarily attributable to the overall
decrease in revenues and the related disproportionate effect of fixed
manufacturing and service cost included in cost of revenues.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development expenses decreased to $8.2
million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $14.4 million for the year
ended December 31, 2000. The Company's spending decrease was partially
attributable to the elimination of engineering expenses of approximately $1.5
million related to the NAC product line sold in September 2000. Approximately
$6.7 million of the decrease is attributable to a reduction in staff and related
expenses due to completion of various projects and the Company's restructuring
and cost reduction plan implemented in May 2001 offset by increased costs of
approximately $2.0 million associated with the acquisition of InfoWorkSpace in
March 2001. Research and development expenses decreased to $14.4 million in 2000
from $15.1 million in 1999 primarily due to a decline in network access card
product related expenses of $.4 million and completion of engineering projects.

SALES AND MARKETING Sales and marketing expenses decreased to $8.6 million in
2001 from $10.7 million in 2000. The decreased spending was primarily due to
the Company's restructuring and cost reduction plan that went into effect at
the end of May 2001. Cost savings achieved from the restructuring and cost
reduction plan were offset by added sales and marketing

                                                                              20
<Page>

expenses of approximately $1.0 million attributable to the InfoWorkSpace product
line acquired in March 2001. Sales and marketing expenses decreased to $10.7
million in 2000 from $11.5 million in 1999. The decreased spending was primarily
due to the transition from an ISDN product focus to a concentration on IP and
Internet products.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE General and administrative expenses decreased to $3.1
million in 2001 compared to $3.9 million in 2000. The decrease was primarily due
to cost savings associated with the restructuring and cost reduction plan
implemented in May 2001. General and administrative expenses decreased to $3.9
million in 2000 from $4.1 million in 1999. The decrease was primarily due to
reduction of expenditures related to the Company's corporate-wide financial
accounting, manufacturing and sales and distribution system, which was
implemented during 1999.

OCCUPANCY AND OTHER FACILITIES RELATED EXPENSES Occupancy and other facilities
related expenses represent rent expense and other operating costs associated
with the Company's headquarters and manufacturing facility in Burlington,
Massachusetts and various other sales and development offices in the United
States, United Kingdom, Hong Kong and China. Costs are essentially fixed and
generally only change when new offices are opened or leases are renegotiated.
The increase to $3.5 million in 2001 from $3.2 million in 2000 relates primarily
to added occupancy costs associated with the acquisition of the InfoWorkSpace
product line in March 2001.

INTEREST INCOME, NET Interest income, net, consists of interest on cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities. Interest income decreased to
approximately $.9 million in 2001 from $2.5 million in 2000. Interest income in
1999 was $2.3 million. The decrease in 2001 was due primarily to a reduction in
the amount of cash available for investment. The increase in 2000 was primarily
related to higher rates of return on investments.

INCOME TAX The amount reported as income tax benefit in 2001 relates primarily
to the reversal of tax reserves recorded in prior years. The Company determined
that the tax reserves were no longer required because the related potential tax
exposures were favorably resolved during the fourth quarter of 2001. In 2000 the
Company recorded a valuation allowance of approximately $7.8 million to reduce
the carrying value of deferred tax assets recorded in prior years to zero and
$975 thousand related to the settlement of litigation with Accord.

LITIGATION On June 16, 2000, the Company settled its patent infringement suit
against Accord in the United States District Court for the District of
Massachusetts. The settlement agreement, among other things, provided that the
Company receive $6,500,000 in return for a covenant not to sue with respect to
the patents that were the subject of the litigation. The Company received
$500,000 at the time the agreement was signed and by December 31, 2000 received
an additional $5,025,000. The final $975,000 is being held in escrow until
certain tax matters related to the settlement are resolved with tax authorities
in Israel.

FACTORS WHICH MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATIONS This Annual Report includes
discussions of its long-term growth outlook, including various forward-looking
statements. The following risks and uncertainties, among others, could affect
the degree to which such expectations are realized.

     LIQUIDITY. As further described under Liquidity and Capital Resources,
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its
ability to raise additional capital, increase revenue or substantially
improve operating margins.

     DEPENDENCE ON MAJOR CUSTOMERS. While the Company is focusing efforts on
broadening its reseller, distribution and OEM sales channels, sales to a
relatively small number of customers have accounted for a significant portion of
the Company's revenue. The Company believes that its dependence on a relatively
small number of customers will continue during 2002. This concentration of
customers may cause revenues and operating results to fluctuate from
quarter-to-quarter based on major customers' requirements and the timing of
their orders and shipments. The Company's agreements with its customers
generally do not include minimum purchase commitments or exclusivity
arrangements. The Company's operating results could be materially and adversely
affected if any present or future major customer were to choose to reduce its
level of orders, were to change to another vendor for purchases of a similar
product, were to combine their operations with another company who had an
established relationship with another vendor for purchases of a similar product,
were to experience financial, operational or other difficulties or were to delay
paying or fail to pay amounts due the Company.

     REDUCED DEMAND FOR TRADITIONAL VIDEOCONFERENCING PRODUCTS. Traditional
videoconferencing technology such as ISDN has had a rapid decline. The Company's
ISDN revenue declined to $6.2 million in 2001 from $16.1 million in 2000. The
Company has broadened its product offerings with the acquisition of the
InfoWorkSpace product line in March 2001 and continues to develop and sell
IP-based products. To date, however, revenues from sales of these products has
not offset the decline in revenues from sales of traditional ISDN-based
videoconferencing products.

                                                                              21
<Page>

     EVOLVING MARKETS. Sales of real-time collaboration products account for an
increasing portion of the Company's revenue. The Company's success depends, to a
significant extent, on the acceptance and the rate of adoption of IP and
Internet-based collaboration products, in general, and Encounter and
InfoWorkSpace products in particular. There is inadequate experience to predict
whether real-time collaboration products will ultimately be accepted by the
market. There can be no assurance that any of the markets for the Company's
products will develop to the extent, in the manner, or at the rate anticipated
by the Company. In addition, future prices the Company is able to obtain for its
products may decrease as a result of new product introductions by others, price
competition, technological change or other factors.

     RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE. The market for the Company's products is
characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards,
emerging network architectures and frequent new product introductions. The
adoption rate of new technologies and products may adversely impact near-term
growth of the conferencing market as users evaluate the alternatives. The
Company has invested, and for 2002 plans to continue to invest, in product
development and products incorporating certain of these new technologies. Many
other companies are also developing products incorporating these new
technologies that are competitive with the Company's current and future
offerings. The Company's success will depend, in part, upon its ability through
continued investments to maintain technological leadership, to enhance and
expand its existing product offerings and to select and develop in a timely
manner new products that achieve market acceptance.

     COMPETITION. The market for multimedia collaboration products is highly
competitive. The Company expects competition to increase significantly in the
future. A number of companies have introduced or announced their intention to
introduce products that could be competitive with the Company's products, and
the rapidly evolving nature of the markets in which the Company competes may
attract other new entrants as they perceive opportunities. Some of the Company's
current and potential competitors have longer operating histories and greater
financial, technical and sales and marketing resources. If the Company is unable
to convince companies with collaboration and videoconferencing needs to adopt
the Encounter and InfoWorkSpace collaboration products over the current
technologies marketed by competitors, the Company's financial results will
suffer, through price reductions and loss of market share.

The principal competitive factors in the market for multimedia collaboration
are, and should continue to be, breadth of capabilities, demonstrated
interoperability, price, performance, network management capabilities,
reliability, customer support and security. The Company plans to compete by
offering collaboration and enterprise products with a broad range of
capabilities and high performance. However, the Company cannot be certain that
potential customers will be attracted to the Company's products, especially if
competitors were to invest substantially more money into their products and
technology.

     INFOWORKSPACE ACQUISITION. On March 27, 2001, the Company entered into a
purchase agreement to acquire all of the operating assets and intellectual
property of the InfoWorkSpace, a business unit of General Dynamics Electronic
Systems. The Company entered into the purchase agreement with the expectation
that the transaction will result in certain benefits including, among other
things, benefits relating to expanded and complementary product offerings,
enhanced revenues, increased market opportunity, new technology and the addition
of engineering personnel. InfoWorkSpace products are currently used primarily by
government organizations, including the Department of Defense and the
Intelligence Community. While continuing to develop the government business, the
Company's intention is to market and sell the InfoWorkSpace collaboration
products commercially. The Company cannot assure that its commercial marketing
efforts will be sufficient or that its businesses will achieve revenues,
specific net income or loss levels, efficiencies or synergies that justify the
acquisition or that the acquisition will result in increased earnings in any
future period.

InfoWorkSpace products provide knowledge workers a secure virtual workspace for
project and team collaboration. InfoWorkSpace products are currently used
primarily by government organizations, including Defense Department agencies and
the Intelligence Community.

     PROTECTION OF PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY. The Company's success depends, to a
large extent, on its ability to protect its proprietary technology. The Company
currently holds ten U.S. patents, two corresponding patents in foreign
jurisdictions and has several patent applications pending. In addition to its
patents, the Company relies primarily on a combination of contractual rights,
trade secrets and copyrights to protect its intellectual property rights.

     RETENTION OF KEY EMPLOYEES. The Company's success depends, to a significant
degree, upon the continuing contributions of its key management, sales,
marketing and research and development personnel, many of whom would be
difficult to replace, including Khoa Nguyen, the Company's Chief Executive
Officer. The Company does not have employment

                                                                              22
<Page>

contracts with its key personnel other than Khoa Nguyen. The Company believes
that its future success will depend in large part upon its ability to attract
and retain such key employees.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 31, 2001, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities of approximately $5.5 million, which are regularly invested in
short-term money market funds, government securities and commercial paper. The
Company had committed an aggregate of $3.1 million of this amount for a $2.0
million installment paid in January 2002, in connection with its acquisition of
the InfoWorkSpace business and $1.1 million paid in January 2002 upon exercise
of a put option for 110,000 shares of the Company's common stock (see Note 3 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). In addition, in connection with the
put option, the Company may be required to purchase another $2.9 million of its
common stock in December 2002. The Company had losses from operations of $33.6
million and $21.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its
ability to raise additional capital, increase revenue or substantially
improve operating margins. There appears little likelihood of securing
additional capital on reasonable terms, if at all, in the near future. In May
2001, the Company implemented a restructuring and cost reduction plan to
reduce operating costs in line with anticipated revenues with the ultimate
objective of improving operating margins and becoming cash-flow neutral from
operations. As a result of these actions, the Company recorded charges of
approximately $2.0 million of which all but approximately $100 thousand had
been paid by December 31, 2001. These charges, reported as restructuring
expense, primarily represented severance costs related to the termination of
90 employees, constituting approximately 50% of the Company's workforce at
the time the cost reduction plan was implemented. The reduction in workforce
covered all functional areas, including research and development, sales and
marketing, general and administrative, manufacturing and technical support.

Operating costs at the end of December 2001 were in line with the Company's
expectations. The Company estimates its cash-flow breakeven point to be
approximately $24 million to $26 million in annual sales. If the Company is not
successful in meeting its revenue targets, it may not be able to generate cash
flows sufficient to continue operations.

The Company's common stock is presently listed on the Nasdaq National Market
("Nasdaq NMS") under the symbol EZEN. All companies listed on Nasdaq are
required to comply with certain continued listing standards, including
maintaining a minimum bid price of at least $1.00. As of February 14, 2002, the
Company did not meet this standard since its common stock had not traded at a
minimum bid price of at least $1.00 over the previous 30 consecutive trading
days. Pursuant to the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, the Company has until
May 15, 2002 to meet the required $1.00 minimum bid price for its common stock
for at least 10 consecutive trading days. There can be no assurance that the
Company's common stock will meet the required $1.00 minimum bid price at any
time in the future or that any appeal by the Company of any delisting
determination would be successful. In the event that the Company's common stock
is delisted from Nasdaq NMS, the market value and liquidity of the Company's
common stock could be materially adversely affected.

                                                                              23
<Page>

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

To date, the Company has not utilized derivative financial instruments or
derivative commodity instruments. The Company invests cash in highly liquid
investments, consisting of highly rated U.S. and state government securities,
commercial paper and short-term money market funds. These investments are
subject to minimal credit and market risk and the Company has no debt.
Therefore, the Company believes the market risks associated with these financial
instruments are immaterial.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Ezenia! Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ezenia! Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. Our audits also included the
financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a). These financial
statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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 financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Ezenia!
Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related
financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the
information set forth therein.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
Ezenia! Inc. will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in
Note 2, the Company has incurred substantial recurring operating losses and
negative cash flows. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the
recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification
of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  BUSINESS

Ezenia! Inc. operates in one business segment, which is the design, development,
manufacturing, marketing and sale of real-time collaboration solutions for
corporate networks and eBusiness. Founded in 1991, Ezenia! develops and markets
products that enable organizations to provide high-quality group communication
and collaboration capabilities to commercial, consumer and institutional users.

2.  GOING CONCERN

The Company has incurred substantial recurring operating losses and negative
cash flows, and at December 31, 2001, has limited cash resources.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its
ability to raise additional capital, increase revenue or substantially
improve operating margins. There appears little likelihood of securing
additional capital on reasonable terms, if at all, in the near future. In May
2001, the Company implemented a restructuring and cost reduction plan to
reduce operating costs in line with anticipated revenues with the ultimate
objective of improving operating margins and becoming cash-flow neutral from
operations. As a result of these actions, the Company recorded charges of
approximately $2.0 million, of which all but approximately $100 thousand had
been paid by December 31, 2001. These charges, reported as restructuring
expense, primarily represented severance costs related to the termination of
90 employees, constituting approximately 50% of the Company's workforce at
the time the cost reduction plan was implemented. The reduction in workforce
covered all functional areas, including research and development, sales and
marketing, general and administrative, manufacturing and technical support.

Operating costs were in line with the Company's expectations for the quarters
ended September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2001. The Company's success in
achieving its goal of being cash-flow neutral is largely dependent on whether it
can meet its future revenue targets.

In addition, the restructuring and cost reduction plan calls for the Company to
close down its Burlington, Massachusetts facility and move its office
headquarters to a smaller, more cost efficient facility. Because of the
depressed real estate market in Massachusetts at the current time the Company
cannot estimate when such a move will be completed, if at all.

There can be no assurance that the Company can achieve the above-mentioned
actions. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not
include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the
recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification
of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

3.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated. All assets and liabilities of the Company's
foreign subsidiaries are translated at the rate of exchange at the end of the
year, while sales and expenses are translated at the average rates in effect
during the year. The net effect of these translation adjustments is shown in the
accompanying financial statements as a component of stockholders' equity.

Certain amounts represented in 2000 and 1999 have been reclassified to permit
comparison with 2001 classifications.

SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from product sales is recognized upon shipment. The Company's products
are generally delivered without significant post-sale obligations to the
customer. If significant obligations exist, revenue recognition is deferred
until the obligations are satisfied. Estimated product warranty costs are
accrued at the time of sale. Revenue from sales of

                                                                             30
<Page>

InfoWorkSpace software licenses is recognized ratably over the subscription
period, generally one year. Revenue from maintenance agreements is recognized
ratably over the terms of the agreements, and other service revenue is
recognized as the services are performed.

SOFTWARE LICENSES

The Company's InfoWorkSpace products incorporate software licenses, which the
Company purchases from other software vendors. Software licenses purchased from
vendors are reported as inventory until the sale of the underlying InfoWorkSpace
subscription license. At which time, they are reported as prepaid licenses and
amortized over the subscription period.

CASH EQUIVALENTS AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES

All of the Company's cash equivalents and marketable securities are classified
as available-for-sale and, accordingly are carried at fair value based on quoted
market prices. Unrealized gains and losses were not material in 2001, 2000 or
1999. Realized gains and losses are included in net interest income. The Company
considers all liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the
date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents and marketable
securities consist of highly rated U.S. and state government securities,
commercial paper and short-term money market funds.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Revenue from three customers accounted for 31%, 48%, and 53% of total revenues
in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Accounts receivable from these customers
amounted to approximately $1.0 million and $1.6 million at December 31, 2001 and
2000, respectively. Export sales were $6.1 million, $11.3 million and $15.7
million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations
of credit risk, are cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts
receivable. All of the Company's cash equivalents and marketable securities are
maintained by major financial institutions. Concentration of credit risk with
respect to accounts receivable is limited to certain customers to whom the
Company makes substantial sales. To reduce risk, the Company routinely assesses
the financial strength of its customers. Write-offs related to accounts
receivable have been within management's expectations.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined
using the first-in, first-out method.

EQUIPMENT AND IMPROVEMENTS

Equipment and improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

         Computer and office equipment        3 years
         Furniture and fixtures               5 years
         Leasehold improvements               Shorter of lease term or estimated
                                                 useful life

DEFERRED REVENUE

Deferred revenue represents amounts received from customers under subscription
software licenses, maintenance agreements or for product sales in advance of
revenue recognition.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. To date,
costs of internally developed software eligible for capitalization have been
immaterial and have been expensed as incurred.

                                                                              30

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes have been provided using the liability method in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes."

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings per Share." Diluted earnings per share include the effect of dilutive
stock options and shares subject to a put option (see Note 3) when dilutive.

Shares used in computing basic and diluted net income (loss) per share are as
follows:

<Table>
<Caption>
                            2001              2000              1999
                      -----------------------------------------------------

     DILUTED             13,663,863        13,649,245        13,730,000
                      -----------------------------------------------------
</Table>

The effect of dilutive stock options on the total shares used to compute diluted
net income per share was 280,000 in 1999.

ACCOUNTING FOR IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
121, "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets," the Company records
impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of
impairment are present. On an on-going basis, management reviews the value
and period of amortization or depreciation of long-lived assets. During this
review, the Company reevaluates the significant assumptions used in
determining the original cost of long-lived assets. Although the assumptions
may vary from transaction to transaction, they generally include revenue
growth, operating results, cash flows and other indicators of value.
Management then determines whether there has been a permanent impairment of
the value of long-lived assets based upon events or circumstances that have
occurred since acquisition. The extent of the impairment amount recognized is
based upon a determination of the fair value of the impaired asset.

ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has elected to account for its stock-based compensation plans
following Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related interpretations rather than the
alternative fair value accounting provided under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation." No compensation expense has been recognized by the
Company for its stock option plans and its stock purchase plan.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
141, "Business Combinations." SFAS No. 141 revises the standards of business
combinations by eliminating the use of the pooling-of-interests method and
requiring that all business combinations be accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting. SFAS No. 141 also changes the criteria to recognize
intangible assets apart from goodwill. The provisions of SFAS No. 141 are
effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. The
adoption of this statement had no impact on the Company's financial position
and results of operations.

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangibles."
Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization over its
estimated useful life. But, goodwill is subject to at least an annual
assessment for impairment applying a fair-value based test. Additionally,
under the provisions of the new accounting standard, an acquired intangible
asset should be separately recognized if the benefit of the intangible asset
is obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the intangible
asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, regardless of
the acquirer's intent to do so. Amortization of goodwill, all related to the
acquisition of InfoWorkSpace (see Note 4), approximated $4.0 million in 2001.
The Company has not yet determined what other effect, if any, adoption of
SFAS No. 142 may have on its financial position or results of operations.

                                                                             32
<Page>

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supercedes SFAS No. 121 by
requiring one accounting model to be used for long-lived assets to be
disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired, and
by broadening the presentation of discontinued operations to include more
disposal transactions. SFAS No. 144 will be effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company has not yet determined what
effect, if any, SFAS No. 144 may have on its financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

4.  ACQUISITIONS

On March 27, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the operating
assets and intellectual property of the InfoWorkSpace business unit of General
Dynamics Electronic Systems for $17 million in cash and 400,000 shares of the
Company's common stock valued, for purposes of the transaction, at $10.00 per
share. An advance of $6 million was paid in December 2000, $6 million was paid
at closing, $3 million was paid on July 2, 2001 and the final payment of $2
million was paid on January 4, 2002. The 400,000 shares issued were accompanied
by an option allowing the seller to put the shares to the Company at $10.00
per share. The put agreement, as amended, gives the seller the option to require
the Company to repurchase 110,000 shares beginning January 4, 2002 and expiring
February 3, 2002, and the balance of 290,000 shares beginning December 1, 2002
and expiring December 31, 2002. The put option with respect to 110,000 shares
was exercised by the seller on January 4, 2002, and the shares were reacquired
at an aggregate price of $1.1 million on January 25, 2002. The put right shall
expire at such time as the last reported closing price of the common stock as
reported on the Nasdaq National Market has been equal to or greater than $11.00
per share for fifteen (15) consecutive trading days. Common stock subject to the
put option is reported as temporary equity. For purposes of computing diluted
earnings per share, such shares are included in the calculation using the
reverse treasury stock method when dilutive.

Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company paid approximately
$1 million at the closing to cover the seller's transitional operating costs
(net of revenue earned during the period) for the period between the signing of
the purchase agreement and the closing of the transaction. The acquisition has
been accounted for as a purchase.

The total purchase price and related acquisition costs were recorded as follows:

The unaudited pro forma consolidated operating results are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results that would have been achieved had the
acquisition been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented, and
should not be construed as representative of future operating results.

The continued weakness in the economy and the rapidly changing and
competitive environment in which the Company operatives negatively impacted
expected sales of InfoWorkSpace product during 2001. During the fourth
quarter of 2001 the Company determined the fair value of InfoWorkSpace
product line has declined from the value at the date it was acquired. In
accordance with SFAS No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED
ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF, the Company evaluated the
recoverability of its long-lived assets, including intangibles related to the
InfoWorkSpace acquisition and determined that the estimated future
undiscounted cash flows were below their carrying value at December 31, 2001.
Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately
$6,293,000 in the fourth quarter of 2001, to reflect its estimate of the
impairment of goodwill associated with the acquisition of InfoWorkSpace. The
estimated fair value was based on anticipated future cash flows discounted at
a rate of 18%, which the Company considers to be commensurate with the risk
involved.

Included in amounts reported as impairment of goodwill and other long-term
assets are losses of $777,000 related to fixed assets no longer in use.

5.  SALE OF PRODUCT LINE

On September 15, 2000, the Company completed the sale of assets and technology
associated with its network access card ("NAC") product line to Telco Systems,
Inc. (Telco) for cash of $4.5 million, received in installments through March
2001, and $1.5 million of future product to be supplied by Telco. Revenue from
sales of NAC products were $3.3 million and $5.7 million for the years ended
December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

The amount reported as income tax benefit in 2001 relates primarily to the
reversal of tax reserves recorded in prior years. The Company determined that
the tax reserves were no longer required because the related potential tax
exposures were favorably resolved during the fourth quarter of 2001. The
provision for income taxes in 2000 includes $975,000 of foreign withholding tax
related to the Company's litigation settlement (See Note 10). This amount is
currently held in escrow until certain matters related to the settlement are
resolved with tax authorities in Israel.

                                                                            35

At December 31, 2001, the Company has available net operating loss carryforwards
of approximately $27,200,000 expiring in 2022 and $26,400,000 expiring in 2021,
federal research and development credit carryforwards of approximately
$2,300,000 expiring in varying amounts during the period 2018 through 2022 and
state and research and development credit carryforwards of approximately
$2,100,000 expiring in varying amounts during the period 2006 through 2016.

The Federal Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002, enacted in March
2002, allows the Company to carryback net operating losses incurred in 2001 for
a period of up to five years. The additional carryback period has enabled the
Company to file a carryback claim in March 2002, resulting in the utilization of
approximately $12,500,000 of the net operating loss that would have expired in
2022 and the recovery of approximately $2,700,000 of income taxes paid in prior
years. This tax benefit will be reflected in the Company's financial statements
in the first quarter of the year ending December 31, 2002.

10. OTHER NON-RECURRING CHARGES AND CREDITS

On June 16, 2000, the Company settled its patent infringement suit against
Accord in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
The settlement agreement, which was recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2000,
provided, among other things, that the Company receive $6,500,000 in return for
a covenant not to sue with respect to the patents that were the subject of the
litigation. The Company received the payment in 2000, net of foreign tax
withholding of $975,000.

                                                                            36

In July 1999, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld a Federal
District court's previous ruling in Datapoint's patent infringement case with
PictureTel Corporation, that products sold by PictureTel, including those
manufactured by the Company, do not infringe on any of the Datapoint patents
in the videconferencing field and that the patent claims asserted against
PictureTel are invalid. As a result, in the quarter ended September 30, 1999,
the Company reversed into cost of product revenue an accrual of $1,075,000,
which had been established in prior periods, for estimated liability
associated with this litigation.

Also, in the quarter ended September 30, 1999, the Company experienced a
significant decline in revenue associated with technology purchased as part of
the 1997 acquisition of the NAC business unit from Promptus Communications.
Concurrently, the Company introduced products using new network access
technology to replace the products manufactured utilizing the technology
acquired from Promptus Communications. During the quarter ended September 30,
1999, the Company estimated the contribution of the acquired NAC technology to
the future operating results of the Company would be insignificant and
wrote-off, as part of cost of product revenue, approximately $1,034,000 of
related unamortized purchased technology.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company rents its primary facility under an operating lease, which expires
in February 2006. The Company also leases office space for sales and development
operations under leases that expire on various dates through April 2006. Future
minimum lease payments at December 31, 2001 under these non-cancelable operating
leases are approximately $1,384,000 in 2002, $1,374,000 in 2003, $1,184,000 in
2004, $1,123,000 in 2005 and $166,000 in 2006.

Rent expense was approximately $1,483,000, $949,000 and $916,000 in 2001, 2000
and 1999, respectively.

12. PREFERRED STOCK

Each series of Preferred Stock shall have such rights, preferences, privileges
and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights,
redemption privileges and liquidation preferences as determined by the Board of
Directors.

13. BENEFIT PLANS

STOCK OPTION PLANS

The Company's Amended and Restated 1991 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1991 Plan")
provides for the sale or award of common stock, or the grant of incentive stock
options or nonqualified stock options for the purchase of common stock, of up to
6,090,541 shares to officers, employees and consultants. The Plan is
administered by the Board of Directors. Options have been granted at a price not
less than the fair market value on the date of grant. The options generally
become exercisable over a four to five-year period and expire over a period not
exceeding ten years. In February 2000, the Board of Director's approved the
acceleration of all outstanding and future options granted pursuant to the 1991
Plan and the Company's Amended and Restated 1994 Non-Employee Director Stock
Option Plan (the "Director Plan") upon a "Change in Control" or an "Acquisition"
(as each such term is defined in the 1991 Plan); provided, however, that the
vesting of no such option shall be so accelerated in the event that the holder
thereof elects to forego such acceleration on or prior to the date of such
Change in Control or Acquisition. The 1991 Plan terminated on March 31, 2001,
and no options are to be granted under the 1991 Plan subsequent to that date. At
December 31, 2001, there were 2,355,587 shares reserved for issuance under the
1991 Plan.

On April 11, 2001, the Board of Directors approved the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan
(the "2001 Plan") which provides for the sale or award of common stock or the
grant of non-qualified options to officers, directors, employees and

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Stock Purchase Plan")
under which eligible employees may purchase common stock at a price per share
equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the common stock at the
beginning or end of each offering period. Participation in the offering is
limited to 10% of an employee's compensation (not to exceed amounts allowed
under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code), may be terminated at any time
by the employee and automatically ends on termination of employment with the
Company. A total of 900,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for
issuance under the Stock Purchase Plan.

PRO-FORMA INFORMATION FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Pro-forma information regarding net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share,
as if the Company had used the fair value method of SFAS No. 123 to account for
stock options issued under its various stock option plans, and shares purchased
under the Stock Purchase Plan, is presented below. The fair value of stock
activity under these plans was estimated at the date of grant using a
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions as of the date
of grant: risk-free interest rates equal to the then available rate for
zero-coupon U.S. government issues with a remaining term equal to the expected
life of the options; no dividend yields; an average volatility factor of the
expected market price of the Company's common stock over the expected life of
the option of 1.49 in 2001, 1.29 in 2000 and .86 in 1999; and a weighted-average
expected life of the option of 5.3 years in 2001, 5.3 years in 2000 and 5.4
years in 1999.

For purposes of pro-forma disclosures, the estimated weighted average fair value
of options granted during the year of $1.30, $6.10 and $7.22 in 2001, 2000 and
1999, respectively, is amortized to expense over the related vesting period.
Pro-forma information is as follows:
