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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations
contained in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1999,
filed with the SEC on April 14, 2000. The discussion of the Company's current
business and future expectations under this item contain forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results
may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking
statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not
limited to, those discussed in the subsection entitled "Forward Looking
Statements" below and in the section "Factors Affecting Future Operating Results
from Item 1 of the Company's 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999,
incorporated herein by reference.

OVERVIEW

Our company was originally founded to provide interactive television services,
which we began providing in 1991. We incurred significant expenses in
developing, testing and marketing our services, and were forced to curtail our
operations by August, 1995, due to lack of ongoing financing. While in
operation, we acquired key strategic investors such as TCI Cable (now a part of
AT&T), NBC, Gannet, Motorola, Sprint, and AC Nielson.

Today, we own certain intellectual property assets related to the interactive
television market and other interactive technology. Our prior strategic
investors remain as our stockholders and our current management is confident in
its strategy to deliver stockholder value by marketing our intellectual property
and by working to enhance and develop our patent portfolio. We plan to
concentrate on exploiting our patent portfolio in a cost effective way through
licenses, joint ventures, strategic alliances, or other methods that will not
involve large overhead demands.

                                       4
<PAGE>

To provide the technical and management expertise to assist in the fulfillment
of our goals, we established an advisory panel of consultants and re-employed
our former Chief Scientist, Dr. Robert Brown. Further, our management is
planning to hire additional personnel to meet our anticipated future needs. Our
bankruptcy reorganization plan has been approved by the Bankruptcy Court and we
continue to expend significant resources in litigating disputed claims. In
addition, we expend significant resources in the enforcement of our intellectual
property rights. Our management believes that our intellectual property assets
put our company in a position to be a part of the interactive content and
interactive services businesses currently being created.

On January 31, 2000, we consummated the formation of a joint venture company,
TWIN Entertainment Inc. ("TWIN Entertainment"), to be co-managed by us and Two
Way TV Limited ("Two Way TV") under the terms of a Joint Venture and Stock
Purchase Agreement dated as of December 6, 1999. A Form 8-K Report regarding
this matter was filed with the Commission on February 11, 2000 and is
incorporated herein by reference. We currently expect that TWIN Entertainment
will develop, market and supply digital (as well as analog) interactive and
related services, products and technology in the United States and Canada. We
have licensed TWIN Entertainment the non-exclusive use of our patents and other
intellectual property for the United States and Canada. Two Way TV also licensed
to TWIN Entertainment certain technology on a non-exclusive basis. Additionally,
as part of the agreements with Two Way TV to create TWIN Entertainment, we
entered into a separate worldwide license agreement that exclusively licenses
our intellectual property in countries other than the United States and Canada
to Two Way TV.

We hope that TWIN Entertainment, which will initially be jointly managed by us
and Two Way TV, will use our and Two Way TV's technology to become an active
participant in the interactive television market. As part of our agreements with
Two Way TV, we have agreed to seek shareholder approval at our annual meeting to
make our license to TWIN Entertainment exclusive, at which time Two Way TV's
license to TWIN Entertainment will also become exclusive.

OTHER CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS:

There have been no changes in the discussion of "Other Contingencies and
Commitments" since the Company's discussion of that subject in its Annual Report
for the year ended December 31, 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We consummated a settlement agreement with our secured senior noteholders and
have paid all undisputed claims under our confirmed plan of reorganization.
$39,072,949 in principal and accrued interest of our outstanding indebtedness
was converted at $5.00 per share into 7,814,589 shares of our common stock.
Liens on our patent portfolio and other assets were released, and the
noteholders paid $10 million plus accrued interest to us. A substantial portion
of the proceeds received from the noteholders was allocated to pay creditors and
a large portion of those funds were set aside in a reserve account for the
payment of creditors whose claims we are continuing to dispute. As of March 31,
2000, the balance of these reserved funds was $6.1 million. Material claims of
over $6 million still exist. The amount of funds available to us after
resolution of contested claims with creditors will depend on the extent to which
we are successful in substantially reducing, defeating or deferring payment of
the claims we are contesting. In the event we are not successful in defeating,
substantially reducing or deferring payment of these claims by creditors, our
working capital requirements would need to be satisfied in part by external
sources of financing to the extent revenues from exploitation of our patent
portfolio are not sufficient.

In addition, our available working capital as of December 31, 1999 was
approximately $1.1 million and our budget for 2000 contains expenses of
approximately $3.6 million, including repayment of approximately $917,000 of
debt due in 2000, our increased funding of $390,000 to our bankruptcy trust for
disputed claims, and payments made to and reserved for TWIN Entertainment
operations of $1 million. We currently expect revenues in 2000 to be
insufficient to meet budgeted needs for cash and are in negotiations to secure
outside sources of financing. In the event we do not secure adequate financing,
our ability to meet our working capital needs could be impaired.

Our current business plan continues to be one of exploiting our patent portfolio
through licenses, joint ventures or other methods that will not impose large
overhead or capital demands on us, including our support of TWIN Entertainment's
efforts to exploit our technology. We currently expect our need for working

                                       5
<PAGE>

capital for year 2000 to consist largely of general and administrative expenses,
repayment of debt due in 2000, patent development and marketing expenses of
approximately $2.6 million expected to be incurred in generating revenues from
our intellectual property assets, $1 million paid to and set aside for TWIN
Entertainment, and professional fees of approximately $120,000. We anticipate a
total operating budget of approximately $3.6 million for year 2000.

We will continue our litigation against NTN Communications, Inc. in Canada for
that company's alleged infringement of our patents. We currently expect to incur
aggregate additional expenses in excess of $35,000 in connection with the
pursuit of this claim.

We recognize that we will require additional financing to meet our budgeted
needs for 2000. We have entered into agreements with two of our advisory board
members whereby they have agreed to provide up to $500,000 in the aggregate in
exchange for shares of our common stock upon our request. We are also seeking
other additional sources of financing.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES. During the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company
realized no revenues.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses primarily
consist of payroll and related expenses and fees for executive and
administrative personnel, insurance, independent contractor, accounting, audit
and general legal fees and other corporate expenses. General and administrative
expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 increased to $612,696 from the
$403,740 of expenses incurred in the same period in 1999. This increase of
$208,956 was due primarily to expenses incurred in connection with our advisory
board members in 2000 offset by reduced audit fees for 2000 (due to a change in
auditors and the fact that the prior year audit expenses included audit fees for
the periods 1995-1999) and decreased shareholder relations fees (some of which
we expect to incur in the second quarter of 2000 related to our annual meeting
to be held on June 30, 2000), offset by increased salary expense and other
administrative costs.

REORGANIZATION ITEMS. Reorganization items consist primarily of legal and
trustee fees directly related to our Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization,
entered into as a condition to the consummation of the Settlement Agreement and
the litigation and other expenses incurred in contesting claims in our
bankruptcy reorganization, which is still ongoing. Reorganization expenses for
the quarter ended March 31, 2000 decreased to $106,272 from the $634,679 of
expenses incurred in the same period in 1999. This decrease of $528,407 was due
primarily to the fact that our bankruptcy was ongoing during the first quarter
of 1999, requiring substantially more expense, while our plan of reorganization
was approved in 1999 and the majority of claims had been settled or were pending
resolution during the first quarter of 2000.

INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE). Interest income (expense) consists primarily of
interest earned on cash and cash equivalents held by the Company, offset by
interest accrued on the 12% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes issued
to certain of our shareholders, which were converted into shares of our common
stock as part of the Settlement Agreement with certain of our shareholders. For
the quarter ended March 31, 2000, we incurred interest expense of $106,000
related to disputed claims in our bankruptcy pending resolution which was
substantially offset by $100,653 of interest earned on cash and cash equivalents
held by the Company. We had $2,526 of interest income on cash deposits for the
comparable quarter ended March 31, 1999.

OTHER INCOME. Other income consists primarily of debt-forgiveness from
negotiated settlements and checks written to unsecured creditors in our
bankruptcy which were returned for various reasons. After performing the actions
and waiting for the amount of time specified by our counsel, we have voided
these returned checks and accounted for these funds as other income. Other
income for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 was $219,215. There was no
comparable income during the same period in 1999.

NET LOSSES. During the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company
incurred a net loss of $511,390 and $1,036,693, respectively. These losses
resulted primarily from expenses incurred for advisory board member expenses,
salaries, other administrative costs, and expenses related to our Chapter 11
reorganization, offset by other income accrued in 2000 as part of our Chapter 11
reorganization.

                                OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         Interactive Network continues to pursue the objections it has to claims
         of creditors in its Bankruptcy proceedings. As of March 31, 2000, we
         have set aside $6.1 million in a reserve account to pay creditors whose
         claims we are disputing, as was required as part of our reorganization.
         Material claims of over $6 million exist. In the first quarter of 2000,
         National Datacast, one of our largest creditors, amended its claim to
         over $6.3 million from its previous $3.6 million claim. Trial on this
         claim was set for April 2000, but has been vacated and a new date has
         not yet been set. We expect the new date to be in or after July of this
         year. In addition, David Lockton, a shareholder and our former CEO,
         filed a complaint in our bankruptcy case seeking specific performance
         of his alleged stock option rights and damages of $17 million. In March
         2000, the Bankruptcy Court ruled that Mr. Lockton could not assert any
         damage claims with respect to these stock option rights and that his
         remedy, if any, must be limited to requests for specific performance.
         Trial for these and other claims of Mr. Lockton is set for May 8, 2000.

         We also settled the $549,320 claim of Window to the World
         Communications for $315,000 in February 2000, which has been approved
         by the Bankruptcy Court and paid. We also have preliminarily settled
         claims of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, scheduled at $1.7
         million, for $840,000, to be paid one half upon approval by the
         Bankruptcy Court, and one half in equal monthly installments over the
         twelve months thereafter, without interest. Bankruptcy Court approval
         is pending. Finally, subject to pending Bankruptcy Court approval, we
         have settled a dispute with Next Factors, Inc. Next Factors is the
         assignee of the claims of a company called Draft Worldwide, Inc. We
         scheduled and paid a claim for Draft of about $63,000. After the bar
         date for filing proofs of claim passed, Next Factors filed a proof of
         claim as assignee of Draft for a total of about $350,000 (including
         pre-petition interest and the $63,000 we scheduled). The parties
         disagreed on whether the proof of claim was defectively late. After
         discussions and exchange of information, the parties reached the
         settlement under which we will pay Next Factors $100,000 in addition to
         the $63,000 previously paid in full satisfaction. Other claims remain
         at issue, with settlement discussions continuing in most instances.

         We continue to pursue our claims for patent infringement against NTN
         Communications, Inc. in Canada and intend to litigate these claims to
         full resolution.
