AVISTAR COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1.  Business, Basis of Presentation, Use of Estimates, and Risks and Uncertainties

Business

Avistar Communications Corporation (Avistar or the Company) provides
networked video communications software and hardware products and services.
Avistars products include applications for interactive video calling, content
creation and publishing, broadcast video and video-on-demand, as well as data
sharing, directory services and network management. Avistar designs, markets,
sells, manufactures and/or assembles and installs and supports its products.
Avistars real-time and non-real-time products are based upon its architecture
and Video Operating System platform, which facilitate distribution over local
and wide area networks using telephony or internet services as appropriate. In
addition, Avistar develops, prosecutes, maintains and supports intellectual
property used in the Companys products. Avistars services include
consulting, implementation, training, maintenance and support.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited balance sheet as of June 30, 2001 presents the consolidated
financial position of Avistar and its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Avistar
Systems Corporation (ASC) and Collaboration Properties, Inc. (CPI) (see Note
7). The consolidated results are referred to, collectively, as those of
Avistar or the Company in these notes.

The functional currency of ASCs UK subsidiary is the U.S. dollar.
Accordingly, all gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in
currencies other than the U.S. dollar are included in the statements of
operations. All amounts included herein are unaudited unless otherwise
specified.

Use Of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and to disclose contingent liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

The markets for the Companys products and services have only recently
begun to develop. Some of the Companys products utilize changing and emerging
technologies. As is typical in industries of this nature, demand and market
acceptance are subject to a high level of uncertainty, particularly when there
are adverse conditions in the economy. Acceptance of the Companys products,
over time, is critical to the Companys success. The Companys prospects must
be evaluated in light of difficulties encountered by it and its competitors in
further developing this evolving marketplace. The Company has generated losses
since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $61 million as of June 30,
2001. The Companys operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future
as a result of a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the current
challenging economic environment, the use of differing distribution channels,
and the timing of the new product announcements by the Company or its
competitors.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements furnished
in this report reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for
the interim periods covered and of the Companys financial position as of the
interim balance sheet date. The results of operations for the interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited
consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the year ended
December 31, 2000 included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short Term Investments

The Company considers all investment instruments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Companys
cash equivalents at December 31, 2000 and June 30, 2001 consisted of money
market funds and short-term securities.

The Company classifies its short-term investments as available for sale
with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of
stockholders equity. At June 30, 2001, the Companys investments approximated
fair value, and, as such, unrealized holding gains and losses were
insignificant. The fair value of the Companys investments was determined
based on quoted market prices at the reporting date for those instruments.

Significant Concentrations

A relatively small number of customers accounted for a significant
percentage of the Companys net sales. Sales to these customers as a percentage
of sales were as follows for the three months and six months ended June 30,
2000 and 2001:

Any change in the relationship with these customers could have a
potentially adverse effect on the Companys financial position and/or results
of operations.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables from U.S.
and foreign entities. As of December 31, 2000, approximately 80 % of accounts
receivable was concentrated with four customers. As of June 30, 2001,
approximately 73 % of accounts receivable was concentrated with three
customers.

Inventory shipped to customer sites, not yet installed, represents product
shipped to customer sites pending completion of the installation process by the
Company. As of December 31, 2000 and June 30, 2001, the Company had billed
approximately $2.4 million and $700,000 to their customers related to these
shipments, but had fully reserved the receivable, and had not recognized the
revenue as the installations had not been completed.

Research and Development

Research and development expenditures are charged to operations as
incurred. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86 (SFAS
86), Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or
Otherwise Marketed, requires the capitalization of certain software
development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility.
Based on the Companys product development process, technological feasibility
is established upon completion of a working model. Costs incurred by the
Company between completion of a working model and the point at which the
product is ready for general release have been insignificant. Through June 30,
2001, all research and development costs have been expensed.

Patent Costs

Due to uncertainties about the estimated future economic benefits and
lives of the Companys patents and patent applications, all related outside
patent costs have been expensed as incurred, and the Company plans to continue
with this policy in the future. Outside patent costs were approximately
$178,000 and $224,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 2001,
respectively, and were reflected in general and administrative expenses in the
accompanying statements of operations.

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue pursuant to the Statement of Position
(SOP) SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (SOP 97-2), SOP 98-9,
Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, with Respect to
Certain Transactions (SOP 98-9) and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB
101), Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. Accordingly, the Company
recognizes revenues from product sales when all of the following conditions are
met: the product has been shipped, an arrangement exists with the customer at a
fixed price and the Company has the right to invoice the customer, collection
of the receivable is probable and the Company has fulfilled all of its material
contractual obligations to the customer.

The price charged for maintenance is stipulated in the contract and is
based on a percentage of product revenue. Customers have the option to
initially acquire and subsequently renew the maintenance in subsequent periods
at the rate established in the original agreement. Training services are
offered independently from the purchase of products or maintenance.

When the Company provides installation services, the Company recognizes
product and installation revenues upon completion of installation and customer
acceptance. When the customer or a third party provides installation services,
the Company recognizes product revenue upon shipment. Product sales are
invoiced upon shipment, subject to specific payment terms. Installation and
training services are payable upon provision of services, subject to specific
payment terms. If payments for systems are received in advance of the
completion of installation, such amounts are recorded as deferred revenue in
the accompanying balance sheets until installation has occurred and the
customer has accepted the product. Revenue from the provision of services,
including training, is recognized as the work is performed. Revenue from
maintenance is offered based on a percentage of product sales and is recognized
pro-rata over the maintenance term, which is typically one year in length.
Payments for services and maintenance made in advance of the provision of
services and maintenance are recorded as deferred revenue.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
SFAS No. 141 (SFAS 141), Business Combinations, which supersedes Accounting
Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations. SFAS 141
eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business
combinations and modifies the application of the purchase accounting method.
The elimination of the pooling-of-interests method is effective for
transactions initiated after June 30, 2001. The remaining provisions of SFAS
141 will be effective for transactions accounted for using the purchase method
that are completed after June 30, 2001. The Company believes that the adoption
of this Statement will not have a material impact on the financial position or
the results of operations of the Company.

In July 2001, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 142, (SFAS 142), Goodwill
and Intangible Assets, which supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, Intangible
Assets. SFAS 142 eliminates the current requirement to amortize goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible assets, addresses the amortization of intangible
assets with a defined life and addresses the impairment testing and recognition
for goodwill and intangible assets. SFAS 142 will apply to goodwill and
intangible assets arising from transactions completed before and after the
Statements effective date. SFAS 142 is effective for 2002. The Company
believes that the adoption of this Statement will not have a material impact on
the financial position or the results of operations of the Company.

3.  Related Party Transactions

Certain directors with controlling interests in the Company are also the
majority owners of two entities that conducted business with the Company,
Vicor, Inc. (Vicor) and Western Data Systems of Nevada, Inc. (WDS).
Descriptions of certain transactions between the Company and these entities
follow.

Support Services

Prior to January 1, 2001, the Company maintained a support center to
handle first level support calls for WDS. The support center also handled
calls for the Company. Pursuant to an agreement between the Company and WDS
dated July 1, 1996, the Company charged WDS for its share of support center
costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company received fees of
approximately $100,000 under the agreement. The subsequent reimbursement from
WDS was recorded as a reduction in the costs incurred for the support center.
This agreement was terminated in December 2000. The Company did not receive
any fees from WDS for the six months ended June 30, 2001.

Lease

The Company began subleasing office space to Vicor in September 1999. The
Company received approximately $68,000 and $34,000 during the six months ended
June 30, 2000 and 2001, respectively, from Vicor pursuant to the sublease
agreement. As of March 31, 2001, the Company is no longer subleasing office
space to Vicor.

Revenue From a Related Party

UBS Warburg LLC, which is an affiliate of UBS (an approximate 5%
stockholder during 2000), is also a customer of the Company. Revenue from UBS
Warburg LLC and its affiliates represented approximately 20% of total revenue
for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Management believes the transactions
with UBS Warburg LLC and its affiliates are at terms comparable to those
provided to unrelated third parties. Since December 31, 2000, the Company does
not have any information to suggest that UBS Warburg holds 5% or more of
outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.

4.  Stock Repurchase Plan

On March 22, 2001 the Company announced that its Board authorized the
repurchase of up to $2.0 million of its common stock in the open market.
During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company repurchased 22,500
shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $34,000.

5.  Net Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock are presented in
conformity with SFAS No. 128 (SFAS 128), Earnings Per Share, for all
periods presented. Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98, common
stock and convertible preferred stock issued or granted for nominal
consideration prior to an initial public offering must be included in the
calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share as if such stock had been
outstanding for the period ended June 30, 2000. To date, the Company has had no
issuances or grants for nominal consideration.

In accordance with SFAS 128, basic net loss per share has been computed
using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during
the period, less shares subject to repurchase. Diluted net loss per share is
computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares and common
equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares
result from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options that have a
dilutive effect when applying the treasury stock method. The Company has
excluded all convertible preferred stock, outstanding stock options and shares
subject to repurchase from the calculation of diluted net loss per share for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 2001 because all such securities are
antidilutive. Accordingly, diluted net loss per share approximates basic net
loss per share for all periods presented.

6.  Segment Reporting

Disclosure of segments is presented in accordance with SFAS No. 131 (SFAS
131), Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.
SFAS 131 was adopted by the Company in January 1998. SFAS 131 establishes
standards for disclosures regarding operating segments, products and services,
geographic areas and major customers. The Company is organized and operates in
two operating segments: (1) the design, development, manufacturing, sale and
marketing of networked video communications products (ASC) and (2) the
development, prosecution, maintenance and support of the intellectual property
used in the Companys products (CPI). The parent company (ACC) engages in the
corporate functions and provides financing and services to the subsidiaries..
The Companys chief decision maker monitors the Companys operations based upon
the information reflected in the following table:

International revenue, which consists of domestic sales to customers with
operations principally in Western Europe, and more specifically, a significant
concentration in the United Kingdom, comprised 37%, and 46% of total revenue
for the six months ended June 30, 2000, and 2001, respectively. The Company
had no significant long-lived assets in any country other than in the United
States for any period presented.

7.  Subsequent Events

In July of 2001, the Boards of Directors of Avistar Communications
Corporation (ACC) and Avistar Systems Corporation (ASC) approved the merger
of ASC, the wholly owned subsidiary of ACC, with and into ACC. The merger was
completed in July 2001.

In July of 2001, a reduction of approximately 17% of the overall staffing
level at June 30, 2001 was completed. The costs associated with this
restructuring were not material.

Item 2.Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited
Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and the Notes thereto
included elsewhere herein, and the audited consolidated financial statements
contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Certain statements in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations are forward looking statements.
These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance
and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may
cause our or our industrys actual results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of
activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward
looking statements. These risks and other factors include those listed under
Factors Affecting Future Operating Results and elsewhere in this report on
Form 10-Q. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by
terminology such as may, will, should, expects, plans, anticipates,
believes, estimates, predicts, potential, continue or the negative of
these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only
predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating
these statements, you should specifically consider various factors, including
the risks outlined under Risk Factors. These factors may cause our actual
results to differ materially from any forward looking statement.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward looking
statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of
activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other
person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these
forward looking statements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward
looking statements after the date of this report on Form 10-Q to conform our
prior statements to actual results.

Overview

We operate through two segments:



| |  |  | Avistar Systems Corporation, our wholly owned subsidiary, engages in
the design, development, manufacturing, sale and marketing of networked
video communications products, and associated support services; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| |  |  | Collaboration Properties, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, engages
in the development, prosecution, maintenance, support and licensing of
the intellectual property used in our system.                       

On July 17, 2001, Avistar Systems Corporation merged with and into Avistar
Communications Corporation.

Revenue

We derive product revenue principally from the sale and licensing of our
video-enabled networked communications system consisting of a suite of
Avistar-designed software and hardware products, including third party
components. In addition, we derive revenue from fees for installation,
maintenance, support and training services. As a percentage of total revenue,
product revenue was 77% in the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 74% in the
six months ended June 30, 2001.

Revenue from customers outside the United States accounted for 37% of our
revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 46% of our revenue in the six
months ended June 30, 2001. To date, a significant portion of our revenue
resulted from sales to a limited number of customers. In the six months ended
June 30, 2000, we recorded revenue of approximately $6.9 million, or 74% of
total revenue, from our four largest customers and their affiliates. In the six
months ended June 30, 2001, we recorded revenue of approximately $5.7 million,
or 59% of total revenue, from our two largest customers and their affiliates.
We anticipate that our revenue and, therefore, our operating results for any
given period, will continue to depend to a significant extent on a limited
number of customers. As a result, the loss or a reduction in sales to any one
of these customers would have a significant adverse impact on our operations
and financial performance.

Cost of Revenue

Our cost of revenue consists primarily of the cost of software and
hardware, including compensation and third party components, the cost of
compensation for installation, maintenance, support and training personnel and
other costs related to facilities and office

equipment for professional services, technical support and training
personnel. We recognize product costs as revenue is recorded, and costs of
installation, maintenance, support and training services as we incur those
expenses.

Operating Expenses

We generally recognize our operating expenses as we incur them in three
operational categories: research and development, sales and marketing and
general and administrative. Our operating expenses also include amortization of
our deferred stock compensation charges related to stock options. These charges
are amortized over the vesting period of the options, generally four years. Our
research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation expenses
for our personnel, patent and licensing costs and, to a minor extent,
independent contractors. We expense all patent and licensing costs. Our sales
and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation, commissions and
travel expenses, along with other marketing expenses. Our general and
administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation for our
administrative, financial, and contractual personnel, and a number of
non-allocable costs, including professional fees, legal fees, accounting fees
and provision for doubtful accounts.

We allocate the total cost of overhead and facilities to each of the
functional areas that use overhead and facilities, based upon the number of
employees assigned to each of these areas. These allocated charges include
facilities rent, utilities, and depreciation/amortization expense for property
and equipment.

The non-cash deferred stock compensation charge relates to stock options,
and represents the difference between the exercise price of options granted to
acquire our shares of common stock during the period, and the deemed fair value
for financial reporting purposes of our shares of common stock on the
measurement date, which is the same as the date of grant of those options.
Based on the outstanding options at December 31, 2000, we anticipate recording
charges of approximately $1.0 million in 2001, $500,000 in 2002 and $100,000 in
2003 to record the remainder of the costs associated with these grants.

Interest Income and Expenses

We generate interest income by investing our cash balances. At June 30,
2001, we had no short-term or long-term debt.

Income Taxes

We have made no provision for and have received no benefit from U.S.
federal income taxes for any period due to our operating losses. As of December
31, 2000, we had $3.9 million of net operating loss carry-forwards for federal
income tax purposes, which expire beginning on various dates through the year
2020. Our use of these net operating losses may be limited in future periods.
We have recorded no tax benefits for these losses.

COMPARISON OF THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 2001

Revenue

Total revenue decreased by 28% from $4.9 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 2000 to $3.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, and
increased by 4% from $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to
$9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease during the
quarter ended June 30, 2001 relative to the prior year was due primarily to
lower product sales. Those lower product sales were due predominantly to
delayed procurement decisions in our customers organizations. The modest
increase in revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 relative to
the prior year, reflected increases in both product and service revenues. For
the six months ended June 30, 2001, revenue from two customers accounted for
59% of total revenues. The comparable concentration figure for the same period
in 2000 was 74% for the top three customers. The level of sales to any
customer may vary from quarter to quarter. We expect that there will be
significant customer concentration in future quarters. The loss of any one of
those customers would have a material adverse impact on our financial condition
or operating results.

Cost of Revenue

The cost of revenue declined by 19% from $2.2 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000 to $1.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, and
increased by 2% from $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to
$4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Cost of revenue decreased
during the quarter ended June 30, 2001 relative to the prior year due to a
reduction in product revenue, but was partially offset by increased support
staffing costs. The slight increase for the six-month period ended June 30,
2001 relative to the prior year reflected increased support staffing.

Gross Margin

The gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased from 55% for the
quarter ended June 30, 2000 to 50% for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, and
increased slightly from 53% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to 54% for
the six months ended June 30,

##### Table of Contents



2001. The decrease in the quarter ended June 30, 2001 relative to the
prior year was primarily due to a higher percentage of service revenue, which
generally carries a lower margin than product revenue, as well as the lower
overall revenue base, which provided more limited coverage of the fixed
components of the cost of sales.

Operating expenses

Research and development.Research and development expenses increased by
24% from $1.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 to $1.4 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 2001, and by 63% from $1.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30,
2001. The increases in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001
relative to the prior year were due to the addition of personnel and personnel
related expenses, and increased prototype and development expenses, reflecting
increased costs for new product development and enhancements to existing
products.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased by 43% from
$1.2 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 to $1.7 million in the quarter
ended June 30, 2001, and by 50% from $2.3 million for the six months ended June
30, 2000 to $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increases
in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 relative to the prior
year were due to increased personnel and personnel related costs due to the
hiring of additional sales and marketing staff, and higher marketing program
costs.

General and administrative.General and administrative expenses increased
by 65% from $871,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 to $1.4 million for the
second quarter ended June 30, 2001, and by 67% from $1.8 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2000 to $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30,
2001. The increases in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001
relative to the prior year were a result of hiring additional personnel,
increased outside professional services expenses and other expenses required to
support an increased scale of operations, and the costs of being a public
company.

Amortization of deferred stock compensation.Amortization of deferred
stock compensation was $589,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 and
decreased by 55% to $266,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Amortization
of deferred stock compensation decreased by 53% from $1.2 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2000 to $551,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2001.
The decreases in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 relative
to the same periods in 2000 were due to the completion of amortization on a
number of large, historic option grants during the second half of 2000.

Other expenses, net.Other expenses, net changed from an expense of $351,000
in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 to income of $206,000 in the quarter ended
June 30, 2001. The change from the quarter ended June 30, 2000 to the quarter
ended June 30, 2001 was due to lower interest expenses due to the retirement of
debt, and higher interest income due to an increased balance of cash, cash
equivalents, and short term investments resulting from our initial public
offering in August 2000. Other expenses, net changed from an expense of
$616,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to income of $512,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2001.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $21.7
million as of December 31, 2000 and $18.5 million as of June 30, 2001. There
were net cash inflows of $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000
and net cash outflows of $3.2 million for the six months ending June 30, 2001.
For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the net cash outflow of $3.2 million
resulted primarily from the net cash used in operations of $3.0 million. The
net cash used in operations of $3.0 million included a net loss of $4.2 million
and a decrease in deferred revenues and deposits of $846,000, partially offset
by a decrease in accounts receivable of $1.8 million.

Expenditures for property and equipment for the six months ended June 30,
2001 amounted to $377,000. At June 30, 2001, we did not have any material
commitments for future capital expenditures.

We had no outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2001 from our previous line
of credit. We incurred $82,000 of interest expense on this line of credit for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 at an average interest rate of 10%. This
line of credit was retired using the proceeds from a portion of a $4.0 million
one-year line of credit with another financial institution in June 2000. This
replacement line was subsequently retired in December 2000,and no interest
expense has been incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2001.

We intend to continue to invest heavily in the development of new products
and enhancements to our existing products. Our future liquidity and capital
requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including the costs and timing
of our expansion of product

development efforts and the success of these development efforts, the
costs and timing of our expansion of sales and marketing activities, the extent
to which our existing and new products gain market acceptance, competing
technological and market developments, the costs involved in maintaining and
enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights, the level and
timing of revenue, available borrowings under line of credit arrangements and
other factors.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term
investments will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital
expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. If our available
cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are not sufficient to meet
our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve
months, then we may be forced to engage in equity financing that could dilute
the per share value of our common stock; and / or debt financing on terms that
could restrict our ability to make capital expenditures or incur additional
indebtedness, which could impede our ability to achieve our business plan.
Strategic arrangements, if necessary to raise additional funds, may require us
to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies or products.

Additionally, we may need to raise additional funds to fund expansion,
including increases in personnel, to develop new systems, to enhance our
existing system, or to respond to competitive pressures. We cannot assure you
that alternative or additional financing will be available to us on favorable
terms, or at all, or that any such financing will not dilute your ownership
interest in our company.

Recently, economic growth in the United States has slowed to the point
where industries are delaying or reducing technology purchases. If our
customers delay ordering our products, we will fall short of our revenue
expectations for any given quarter in 2001 or for the entire year and beyond.
These conditions have negatively affected our business in the first six months
of 2001 and will in the future if these conditions persist. The outlook for
the video communications industry is uncertain and it is very difficult to
predict how long the current slowdown will last or whether we will be
materially adversely affected by such slowdown. Slower growth among our
end-user customers, tightening of customers operating budgets, retrenchment in
the capital markets and other general economic factors all could have a
material adverse effect on our capital resources, financial condition and
results of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
SFAS No. 141 (SFAS 141), Business Combinations, which supersedes Accounting
Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations. SFAS 141
eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business
combinations and modifies the application of the purchase accounting method.
The elimination of the pooling-of-interests method is effective for
transactions initiated after June 30, 2001. The remaining provisions of SFAS
141 will be effective for transactions accounted for using the purchase method
that are completed after June 30, 2001. The Company believes that the adoption
of this Statement will not have a material impact on the financial position or
the results of operations of the Company.

In July 2001, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 142, (SFAS 142), Goodwill
and Intangible Assets, which supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, Intangible
Assets. SFAS 142 eliminates the current requirement to amortize goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible assets, addresses the amortization of intangible
assets with a defined life and addresses the impairment testing and recognition
for goodwill and intangible assets. SFAS 142 will apply to goodwill and
intangible assets arising from transactions completed before and after the
Statements effective date. SFAS 142 is effective for 2002. The Company
believes that the adoption of this Statement will not have a material impact on
the financial position or the results of operations of the Company.

Factors Affecting Future Operating Results

You may have difficulty evaluating our business and operating results because
we are still in the early stages of development.

Although we commenced operations in November 1993, the first two and a
half years of our operations were primarily dedicated to research and
development. We did not begin delivering our initial two-way video calling and
data sharing applications until mid-1996, and we did not release our full
product suite, including video-publishing, one-way broadcast viewing and
video-on-demand, until the third quarter of 1998. Because we have only recently
begun to offer our full system and services, it may be difficult for you to
evaluate our historical performance and project our future operating results.

In addition, as an early stage company in an industry with rapidly
changing technology, we face numerous risks and uncertainties associated with
our need to grow and develop, as discussed in more detail below. If we are
unsuccessful in addressing these risks, sales of our system and services, as
well as our ability to maintain or increase our customer base, will be
substantially diminished.

We have incurred substantial losses in the past and may not be profitable in
the future.

We incurred net losses of $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
2001, $4.7 million for 2000 and $6.4 million in 1999. Our accumulated deficit
as of June 30, 2001 was $61 million. Our revenue may not increase, or even
remain at its current level. In addition, we expect our operating expenses may
increase significantly as we develop and expand our business in the future. As
a result, to become profitable, we will need to increase our revenue by
increasing sales to existing customers and by attracting additional customers.
If our expenses increase more rapidly than our revenue, we may never become
profitable. Furthermore, we will recognize additional charges relating to
non-cash compensation in connection with options that we granted in 1999 and
2000. These additional charges, although declining, will further decrease our
ability to become profitable.

We cannot predict whether or when we will become profitable. If we do
become profitable, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a
quarterly or annual basis. In addition, if we fail to reach profitability or to
sustain or grow our profits within the time frame expected by investors, the
market price of our common stock may fall.

General economic conditions may reduce our revenues and harm our business.

As our business has grown, we have become increasingly subject to adverse
changes in general economic conditions, which can result in reductions in
capital expenditures by our end-user customers, longer sales cycles, deferral
or delay of purchase commitments for our products and increased price
competition. Economic growth in the United States has slowed to the point
where industries are delaying or reducing technology purchases. More
specifically, the communications industry has suffered a sharp decline in
orders and revenue. Many communications manufacturers and vendors have
announced earnings shortfalls and employee layoffs. Overall, customer spending
is getting tighter and spending decisions are being more carefully scrutinized.
The outlook for the video communications industry is uncertain and it is very
difficult to predict how long the current slowdown will last or whether we will
be materially adversely affected by such slowdown. Slower growth among our
end-user customers, tightening of customers operating budgets, continued
consolidation among customers and other general economic factors all could have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.

If our customers delay ordering our products, we will fall short of our
revenue expectations for any given quarter in 2001 or for the entire year and
beyond. These conditions have negatively affected our business in the first six
months of 2001 and will in the future if these conditions persist. For
example, we experienced a decline in revenue growth rate in the six months
ended June 30, 2001 and an absolute decline in revenues in the three months
ended June 30, 2001 relative to the same periods of 2000.

Our lengthy sales cycle to acquire new customers or large follow-on orders may
cause our quarterly operating results to vary significantly and make it more
difficult to forecast our revenue.

We have generally experienced a product sales cycle of four to nine months
for new customers or large follow-on orders due to the time needed to educate
potential customers about the uses and benefits of our system, and the
significant investment decisions that our prospective customers must make when
they decide to buy our system. Many of our prospective customers have neither
budgeted expenses for networked video communications systems nor personnel
specifically dedicated to the procurement, installation or support of these
systems. As a result, our customers spend a substantial amount of time before
purchasing our system performing internal reviews and obtaining capital
expenditure approvals. Current economic conditions have contributed to
additional deliberation, and consequent delay in the sales cycle.

Our lengthy sales cycle is one of the factors that has caused, and may in
the future continue to cause, our operating results to vary significantly from
quarter to quarter. This makes it difficult for us to forecast revenue and
could cause volatility in the market price of our common stock. A lost or
delayed order could result in lower revenue than expected in a particular
quarter.

Since a majority of our revenue has come from follow-on orders, our financial
performance could be harmed if we fail to obtain follow-on orders in the
future.

Our customers typically place limited initial orders for our networked
video communications system, which allows them to evaluate its usefulness and
value. Our strategy is to pursue additional and larger follow-on orders after
these initial orders. Revenue

##### Table of Contents



generated from follow-on orders accounted for approximately 86% and 88% of
our revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 2001, respectively.
Current economic conditions have led to decreases in our clients capital
spending, and we have experienced a decrease in the size of follow-on orders.
Our future financial performance depends on successful initial installations of
our system, which in turn lead to follow-on orders. If our system does not meet
the needs and expectations of customers who order our system, we may not be
able to generate follow-on orders, or they may be of smaller magnitude.

Because we depend on a few customers for a majority of our revenue, the loss of
one or more of them could cause a significant decrease in our revenue.

We have historically derived the majority of our revenue from a limited
number of customers, particularly Deutsche Bank and UBS Warburg LLC and their
affiliates. These customers collectively accounted for 59% of our revenue in
the six months ended June 30, 2001. We expect to continue to depend upon a
limited number of customers for a substantial portion of our revenue.

The loss of a major customer or the reduction, delay or cancellation of
orders from one or more of our significant customers could cause our revenue
and, therefore, any profits we may make to decline, or our losses to increase.
Because we currently depend on a limited number of customers with lengthy
budgeting cycles and unpredictable buying patterns, our revenue from quarter to
quarter may be volatile. Adverse changes in our revenue or operating results as
a result of these budgeting cycles, or any other reduction in capital
expenditures by our large customers, could substantially reduce the trading
price of our common stock.

We may not be able to modify our products in a timely and cost effective manner
to respond to technological change, or to shifts away from the Microsoft
operating system.

Future hardware and software platforms embodying new technologies and the
emergence of new industry standards could render our system non-competitive or
even obsolete. The market for our system is characterized by:



| |  |  | rapid technological change;                                                     
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| |  |  | significant development costs;                                                  
|
| |  |  | frequent new stand-alone introductions;                                         
|
| |  |  | changes in the requirements of our customers and their communities of users; and
|
| |  |  | evolving industry standards.                                                    

Our system is designed to work with a variety of hardware and software
configurations and data networking infrastructures used by our customers. The
majority of these customer networks rely on Microsoft Windows NT servers.
However, our software may not operate correctly on other hardware and software
platforms and programming languages, database environments and systems that our
customers use. Also, we must constantly modify and improve our system to keep
pace with changes made to our customers platforms, data networking
infrastructures and their evolving ability to transport video and other
applications. This may result in uncertainty relating to the timing and nature
of our new release announcements, introductions or modifications, which in turn
may cause confusion in the market, with a potentially harmful effect on our
business. If we fail to promptly modify or improve our system in response to
evolving industry standards or customers demands, our system could become
obsolete, which would harm our financial condition and reputation.

If our networked video communications system cannot be deployed effectively on
a large scale to many users across an enterprise, we may lose orders and suffer
decreased revenue.

Our strategy requires that our video-enabled communications network be
highly scalable, or able to accommodate substantial increases in the number of
individuals simultaneously using our system. We are only beginning to deploy
large-scale implementations within organizations, and none of these
installations has yet been operating at any customer site for an extended
period of time. If our system does not perform adequately when deployed on an
increasingly larger scale, we may lose orders and our revenue may decrease.

Difficulties in installing our products could harm our revenue and margins.

We recognize revenue upon the installation of our system in those cases
where we are responsible for installation, which often entails working with
sophisticated software and computing and communications systems. If we
experience difficulties with installation, or do not meet deadlines due to
delays caused by our customers or ourselves, we could be required to devote
more customer support, technical and other resources to a particular
installation. If new or existing customers have difficulty installing our
products or require significant amounts of our professional services support,
our revenue recognition could be delayed, our costs could increase, and our
margins could suffer.

Competition could reduce our market share and decrease our revenue.

Currently, our competition comes from many other kinds of companies,
including communication equipment providers, integrated solution providers,
broadcast video providers and stand-alone point solution providers. The market
in which we operate is highly competitive and fragmented, and we expect
competition to increase significantly in the future. In addition, because our
industry is new and one which is characterized by rapid technological change,
evolving user needs, developing industry standards and protocols, and the
frequent introduction of new products and services, it is difficult for us to
predict whether or when new competing technologies or new competitors will
enter our market.

We may be required to reduce prices or increase spending in response to
competition in order to retain or attract customers, pursue new market
opportunities, or invest in additional research and development efforts. As a
result, our revenue, margins and market share may be harmed. We cannot assure
you that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future
competitors, or that competitive pressures faced by us will not harm our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

Infringement of our proprietary rights could affect our competitive position,
harm our reputation or cost us money.

We regard our system as open but proprietary. In an effort to protect our
proprietary rights, we rely primarily on a combination of patent, copyright,
trademark and trade secret laws, as well as licensing, non-disclosure and other
agreements with our consultants, suppliers, customers and employees. However,
these laws and agreements provide only limited protection of our proprietary
rights. In addition, we may not have signed agreements in every case, and the
contractual provisions that are in place and the protection they produce may
not provide us with adequate protection in all circumstances. Although we hold
patents and have filed patent applications covering some of the inventions
embodied in our systems, our means of protecting our proprietary rights may not
be adequate. It may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain
and use our technology without authorization and without our detection. A third
party may also develop similar technology independently, without infringing our
patents and copyrights. In addition, the laws of some countries in which we
sell our system may not protect our software and intellectual property rights
to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Unauthorized copying, use
or reverse engineering of our system could harm our business, financial
condition or results of operations.

Infringement claims could require us to expend significant financial and
managerial resources.

A third party could claim that our technology infringes upon its
proprietary rights. As the number of software systems in our target market
increases and the functionality of these systems overlap, we believe that the
number of infringement suits filed by software developers will increase.
Although we have no knowledge that our system infringes the proprietary rights
of any third parties, we could nevertheless be sued in the future for
infringement. Claims of infringement against us, if successful, could harm us.
Defending against any infringement claims, even those that are not meritorious,
could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial
resources. In addition, if we are found liable for infringement, we may have to
pay damages or royalties to a third party and may not be able to continue
offering that portion of our system that is found to be infringing. Redesigning
our system components to avoid any alleged or actual infringement could result
in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources and
diminish the value of our system, which could harm our business, financial
condition or results of operations.

Our system could have defects for which we could be held liable for, and which
could result in lost revenue, increased costs, loss of our credibility or delay
in the further acceptance of our system in the market.

Our system may contain errors or defects, especially when new products are
introduced, or when new versions are released. Despite internal system testing,
we have in the past discovered software errors in some of the versions of our
system after their introduction. Errors in new systems or versions could be
found after commencement of commercial shipments, and this could result in
additional development costs, diversion of technical and other resources from
our other development efforts, or the loss of credibility

with current or future customers. Any of these events could result in a
loss of revenue or a delay in market acceptance of our system, and could harm
our reputation.

In addition, we have warranted to some of our customers that our software
is free of viruses. If a virus infects a customers computer software, the
customer could assert claims against us, which, regardless of their merits,
could be costly to defend and could require us to pay damages and potentially
harm our reputation.

Our license agreements with our customers typically contain provisions
designed to limit our exposure to potential product liability and certain
contract claims. Our license agreements also typically limit a customers
entire remedy to either a refund of the price paid or modification of our
system to satisfy our warranty. However, these provisions vary as to their
terms and may not be effective under the laws of some jurisdictions. Although
we maintain product liability insurance coverage, we cannot assure you that
such coverage will be adequate. A product liability, warranty or other claim
could harm our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Performance interruptions at a customers site could negatively affect demand
for our system, or give rise to claims against us.

The third party software we license with our system may also contain
errors or defects for which we do not maintain insurance. Typically, our
license agreements transfer any warranty from the third party to our customers
to the extent permitted. Product liability, warranty or other claims brought
against us with respect to such warranties could, regardless of their merits,
harm our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We rely on a continuous power supply to conduct our operations, and
Californias current energy crisis could disrupt our operations and increase
our expenses.

California is in the midst of an energy crisis that could disrupt our
operations and increase our expenses. In the event of an acute power shortage,
that is, when power reserves for the State of California fall below one and
one-half percent, the State of California has on some occasions implemented,
and may in the future continue to implement, rolling blackouts throughout the
state. We currently do not have backup generators or alternate sources of power
in the event of a blackout, and our current insurance does not provide coverage
for any damages we or our customers may suffer as a result of any interruption
in our power supply.

Furthermore, the deregulation of the energy industry instituted in 1996 by
the California state government has caused power prices to increase. If
wholesale prices continue to increase, our operating expenses will likely
increase, as our primary North American facility is located in California. Some
of our component suppliers are also located in California. While our orders
from our suppliers have not been affected by power failure to date, the
continuance of blackouts may affect our suppliers ability to manufacture our
products and meet scheduled delivery needs.

The loss of any of our outside contract manufacturers or third party equipment
suppliers that produce key components of our system could significantly disrupt
our manufacturing process.

We depend on outside contract manufacturers to produce components of our
systems. Most of our compression and decompression product, or gateway, is
currently supplied by a single source, Tandberg, Inc. In addition, we depend on
various third party suppliers for the cameras, microphones, speakers and
monitors that we install at desktops and in conference rooms as a part of each
video communications network system. Our reliance on these third parties
involves a number of risks, including:



| |  |  | the possible unavailability of critical services and components on a
timely basis, on commercially reasonable terms, or at all;                                                                                         
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| |  |  | if the components necessary for our system were to become
unavailable, the need to qualify new or alternative components for our
use or reconfigure our system and manufacturing process could be lengthy
and expensive;
|
| |  |  | the likelihood that, if particular components were not available, we
would suffer an interruption in the manufacture and shipment of our
systems until these components or alternatives become available;               
|
| |  |  | reduced control by us over the quality and cost of our system and
over our ability to respond to unanticipated changes and increases in
customer orders; and                                                            
|
| |  |  | the possible unavailability of, or interruption in, access to some
technologies.

##### Table of Contents



If these manufacturers or suppliers cease to provide us with the assistance or
the components necessary for the operation of our business, we may not be able
to identify alternate sources in a timely fashion. Any transition to alternate
manufacturers or suppliers would likely result in operational problems and
increased expenses, and could cause delays in the shipment of, or otherwise
limit our ability to provide our products. In the case of the gateway
component, we believe a delay could be several months or more. We cannot assure
you that we would be able to enter into agreements with new manufacturers or
suppliers on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Any disruption in product
flow may limit our revenue, seriously harm our competitive position, or result
in additional costs, or cancellation of orders by our customers.

Our market is in an early stage of development, and our system may not be
adopted.

Our ability to achieve profitability depends in large part on the
widespread adoption by end users of networked video communications systems. If
the market for our system fails to grow or grows more slowly than we
anticipate, we may not be able to increase revenue or achieve profitability.
The market for our system is relatively new and rapidly evolving. We will have
to devote substantial resources to educating prospective customers about the
uses and benefits of our system. Our efforts to educate potential customers may
not result in our system achieving market acceptance. In addition, businesses
that have invested substantial resources in video products may be reluctant or
slow to adopt our system. Similarly, customers using existing information
systems in which they have made significant investments may refuse to adopt our
system if they perceive that our offerings will not complement their existing
systems. Consequently, the conversion from dependence on traditional methods of
communication to the extensive use of video networking may not occur as rapidly
as we wish.

If we do not maintain and improve our current networked video communications
system and develop new systems, applications and features, our future business
prospects may suffer.

We believe that our future business prospects depend in large part on our
ability to maintain and improve our current system, and to develop new systems,
applications and features on a timely basis. Our system will have to achieve
additional market acceptance, maintain technological competitiveness and meet
an expanding range of customer requirements. As a result of the complexities
inherent in our system, major new releases, applications and system features
require long development and testing periods. We may not be successful in
developing and marketing, on a timely and cost effective basis, new releases,
applications or features that respond to technological change, evolving
industry standards and protocols or customer requirements. Significant delays
or problems in the installation or implementation of new releases of our system
could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are unable to expand our direct sales force and distribution channels,
our business will suffer.

To increase our revenue, we must increase the size of our direct sales
force and add indirect distribution channels, such as systems integrators or
value-added resellers, or effect sales through our customers. An inability to
increase our direct sales force and to add indirect distribution channels may
limit our future revenue growth and harm our future operating results. As of
June 30, 2001, our sales force consisted of 17 professionals. We expect to
increase the size of our sales force over the next twelve months. However,
there is intense competition for sales personnel in the communications
marketplace and we cannot assure you that we will be successful in attracting,
integrating, motivating and retaining new sales personnel. Furthermore, it can
take several months before a new hire becomes a productive member of our sales
force. The failure of new salespeople to develop the necessary skills in a
timely manner could reduce our revenue growth.

We may not be able to retain our existing key personnel, or hire and retain the
additional personnel that we need to sustain and grow our business.

We depend on the continued services of our executive officers and other
key personnel. We do not carry any key man life insurance. The loss of the
services of any of our executive officers or key personnel could harm our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

As of June 30, 2001, we had 102 employees, up from 84 employees as of June
30, 2000. We expect to hire a significant number of new employees in the future
to support our business. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, our
business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.

In addition, we need to attract and retain highly skilled technical and
managerial personnel for whom there is intense competition. If we are unable to
attract and retain qualified technical and managerial personnel, our results of
operations could suffer and we may never achieve profitability.

Our plans call for growth in our business, and our inability to manage this
growth could harm our business.

Failure to manage future, anticipated growth effectively will harm our
business, financial condition and operating results. Furthermore, in order to
remain competitive or to expand our business, we may find it necessary or
desirable to acquire other businesses, products or technologies. If we identify
an appropriate acquisition candidate, we may not be able to negotiate the terms
of the acquisition successfully, to finance the acquisition or to integrate the
acquired businesses, products or technologies into our existing business and
operations. In addition, completing a potential acquisition and integrating an
acquired business may strain our resources and require significant management
time.

Our international operations expose us to potential tariffs and other trade
barriers, unexpected changes in foreign regulatory requirements and laws, and
economic and political instability, as well as other risks that could adversely
affect our results of operations.

We intend to expand our international business in Western Europe and enter
additional international markets. Expansion will require significant management
attention and financial resources as we establish additional foreign
operations, hire additional personnel and establish indirect distribution
channels. Revenue from this international expansion may be inadequate to cover
the related expenses.

Other risks we may encounter in conducting international business
activities generally could include the following:



| |  |  | tariffs and other trade barriers;

If our customers do not perceive our system or services to be effective or of
high quality, our brand and name recognition would suffer.

We believe that establishing and maintaining brand and name recognition is
critical for attracting and expanding our targeted customer base. We also
believe that the importance of reputation and name recognition will increase as
competition in our market increases. Promotion and enhancement of our name will
depend on the success of our marketing efforts, and on our ability to continue
to provide high quality systems and services, neither of which can be assured.
If our customers do not perceive our system or services to be effective or of
high quality, our brand and name recognition will suffer, which would harm our
business.

Our stock has been and will likely continue to be subject to substantial price
and volume fluctuations due to a number of factors, many of which will be
beyond our control, that may prevent our stockholders from reselling our common
stock at a profit.

The securities markets have recently experienced significant price and
volume fluctuations, and the market prices of the securities of technology
companies have been especially volatile. This market volatility, as well as
general economic, market or political conditions, could reduce the market price
of our common stock in spite of our operating performance. In addition, our
operating results could be below the expectations of public market analysts and
investors, and in response the market price of our common stock

could decrease significantly. The market price of our common stock ranged
from a low of $0.875 to a high of $14.00 during the period from August 17, 2000
to June 30, 2001. Investors may be unable to resell their shares of our common
stock for a profit.

If our share price is volatile, we may be the target of securities litigation,
which is costly and time-consuming to defend.

In the past, following periods of market volatility in the price of a
companys securities, security holders have often instituted class action
litigation. Many technology companies have been subject to this type of
litigation. If the market value of our common stock experiences adverse
fluctuations and we become involved in this type of litigation, regardless of
the merits or outcome, we could incur substantial legal costs and our
managements attention could be diverted, causing our business, financial
condition and operating results to suffer.

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and Delaware law may
make it difficult for a third party to acquire us, despite the possible
benefits to our stockholders.

Our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and Delaware law contain
provisions that may inhibit changes in our control that are not approved by our
Board of Directors. For example, the Board of Directors has the authority to
issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the terms of
this preferred stock, without any further vote or action on the part of the
stockholders.

These provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing
a change in our control despite possible benefits to our stockholders, may
discourage bids at a premium over the market price of our common stock, and may
adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the voting and other
rights of our stockholders.

Our principal stockholders can exercise a controlling influence over our
business affairs and they may make business decisions with which you disagree
that will affect the value of your investment.

Our executive officers, directors and entities affiliated with them, in
the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 73% of our common stock. If they
were to act together, these stockholders would be able to exercise control over
most matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of
directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This
concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a
change in control of our company, which could cause our stock price to drop.
These actions may be taken even if they are opposed by the other investors.







Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates. We do
not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
We do not engage in any foreign currency hedging transactions and therefore, do
not believe we are subject to any significant exchange rate risk. There has
not been a material change in our exposure to interest rate and foreign
currency risks since the date of our annual report on Form 10-K.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short Term Investments

Cash equivalents consist primarily of commercial paper and money market
and municipal bond funds acquired with remaining maturity periods of three
months or less and are stated at cost, plus accrued interest that approximates
market value. Short-term investments consist of corporate notes that are
classified as available for sale and are stated at fair value. We would not
expect our operating results or cash flow to be affected to any significant
degree by the effect of a sudden change in market interest rates on our
investment portfolio.

The following table provides information about the Companys investment
portfolio. For investment securities, the table presents cash and cash
equivalents and short-term investments and related weighted average interest
rates by category.
