RESTATEMENT

         In connection with a review of revenues previously recognized in
connection with the Company's filing of its quarterly report for the period
ended September 30, 1998, the Company disclosed that it would reflect the
elimination of $1,915,000 of revenues on shipments to Korea, which were
previously recognized as revenues in the three month period ended June 30, 1998.
Based on current facts and circumstances, including collectibility of
receivables from its Korean distributor, the Company concluded that such
shipments would not meet revenue recognition criteria. The impact of such
restatement has been reflected in the Form 10-Q filing as of September 30, 1998,
and for the nine months then ended, as well as in this filing.

         As a result of the restatement, the financial statements shown under
Item 1 in the Index of this Form 10-Q have been restated.

FINANCING MATTERS

         Effective as of April 1, 1998, the Company authorized the issuance of
31,308 shares of common stock in lieu of a $212,000 cash dividend on Series A
preferred stock for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 and 17,025 shares in lieu
of a $116,000 cash dividend on Series B preferred stock for the period from date
of issue through March 31, 1998. The share price was the average closing market
bid price for the five consecutive trading days ending March 31, 1998.

         On February 12, 1998, the Company established a $15,000,000 credit
facility (the "Facility") with a private lender, and received an initial advance
of $3,000,000. On April 2, 1998, the Company received an additional advance of
$7,000,000. The Facility is due February 12, 1999, is secured by all outstanding
shares of the Company's wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries, and bears interest at
the rate of 7% per annum, payable at maturity. In conjunction with advances
under the Facility, the lender received warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of
common stock, exercisable at any time for a three year period at an exercise
price of $7.50 per share. Outstanding advances and accrued interest are
convertible into shares of common stock at a price of $9.082, at the lender's
option, provided the market price of the common stock is less than $13.50, and
at the Company's option if the market price of the common stock is $13.50 or
greater. Market price is defined as the closing bid price for 15 of the 17
consecutive days immediately prior to the conversion date. The Facility may be
extended for an additional year in exchange for warrants to purchase common
stock, exercisable at any time for a three year period, at the rate of 5,000
warrant shares for each $100,000 advanced, at a price equal to $1.50 greater
than the average closing bid price of the common stock for the ten day period
immediately prior to February 12, 1999. All warrants are subject to certain
repricing and anti-dilution adjustments. The Facility, among other things,
prohibits any additional indebtedness. The obligation to make future advances
expired on July 31, 1998. The Company is prohibited from redeeming any capital
stock, declaring any dividends on common stock or making certain other
distributions, as defined. Proceeds of the initial advance were used for working
capital and general corporate purposes. Proceeds of the second advance were used
primarily to retire outstanding loans and accrued interest, totaling $6,630,000
from the previous Credit Facility. The fair value of the warrants at dates of
issue, totaling $909,000 and $2,071,000, evaluated using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model, were credited to additional paid-in capital and are being
charged to interest expense using the effective interest method over the loan
period.

         On April 2, 1998, the credit facility was retired as described above,
and on May 12, 1998, the Coastal Trust Revolving Loan, outstanding advances and
accrued interest, totaling $3,223,000, was retired.

         On May 8 and June 26, 1998, the Company sold 5,000 shares of Series D
Convertible Preferred Stock, in private placements to holders of the Series C
preferred stock, realizing a total of $9,645,000, after issuance costs. A
premium on the Series D preferred stock accumulates at the rate of 4% per annum,
is payable upon conversion, and may be paid in cash or common stock, at the
Company's option. The preferred stock will automatically convert into common
stock on May 8, 2000, and June 26, 2000, respectively, and may be converted
prior to that date, at the holder's option, at the lesser of $9.082 (or the
"reset price," the volume-weighted average trading price of the common stock for
the five trading days following the filing of the Company's Form 10-Q for the
quarter ending June 30, 1998, if less) per share of common stock or at 97% of
the market price. Market price is defined as the average of the three lowest
closing bid prices for the common stock within the ten trading days immediately
preceding the conversion date. The Company may fix the conversion price at
$9.082 (or the reset price, if less) if, for any 20 of 30 consecutive trading
days, the daily volume-weighted price of the common stock is $12.00 or greater.
The preferred stock may be redeemed, at the Company's option, at 110% of the
stated value if the daily volume-weighted average trading price is below $3.00
per share for ten consecutive trading days. Terms of the series, among other
things, limit the rate of conversion and the rate of sale of common stock
acquired upon conversion, prohibit the Company from redeeming any common stock,
or from declaring any dividends on common stock, and allow the holders to
purchase additional shares of


                                       7
<PAGE>   9



preferred stock in lieu of anticipated advances under the Facility, provided at
least 25% of the preferred stock is outstanding and required waivers are
obtained from the Series A and Series B preferred stockholders. Proceeds from
the offering were used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The
series ranks in pari passu with the Series A, Series B and Series C preferred
stock.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

         The Company continues to be subject to credit risk through trade
receivables. The Company's distributor for Korea accounted for $4,607,000
(36%)and $9,879,000 (63%) of the accounts receivable at June 30, 1998, and
December 31, 1997, respectively. Of the most recent amount, $3,100,000 dates
from December 1997. In connection with such receivables, the Company also holds
from the distributor a promissory note and pledge of security interests in
certain collateral, including the distributor's accounts receivable. The Company
has continued to receive payments from the distributor; however, in view of the
economic conditions and monetary environment in Korea, there is continuing
uncertainty about future sales to the distributor and the corresponding risk of
collecting amounts due. After assessing the payment intentions and performance
of the distributor, and the financial condition of the distributor, the Company
continues to believe the balance of the note will be collected in full and
accordingly has made no provision for loss on such receivables.


SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         Effective as of July 1, 1998, the Company authorized the issuance of
35,903 shares of common stock in lieu of a $212,000 cash dividend on its Series
A preferred stock and 16,895 shares in lieu of a $100,000 cash dividend on its
Series B preferred stock for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. The share price
was the average closing market bid price for the five consecutive trading days
ending June 30, 1998.

RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

         The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income,"
as of January 1, 1998. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general
purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as the total of
net income and all other non-owner changes in equity. The Company does not
believe that SFAS No. 130 will have a significant impact on the Company's
financial statements.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

         This Form 10-Q contains certain forward looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The forward looking
statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward looking
statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not
limited to, those related to: general economic conditions in the markets in
which the Company operates, success in the development and market acceptance of
new and existing products (particularly SONETLYNX, FibreTrax, LANscape, and
CS4); dependence on suppliers, third party manufacturers and channels of
distribution; customer and product concentration, fluctuations in customer
demand; maintaining access to external sources of capital; ability to execute
management's margin improvement and cost control plans; overall management of
the Company's expansion; and other risk factors detailed from time to time in
the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         As a result of the restatement of the Company's financial statements
for the period ended June 30, 1998, certain information contained in this item
has been changed from that which appeared in the Company's originally filed Form
10-Q for the period ended June 30, 1998. In addition to a revision of this ITEM
2, including the new discussion of "Recent Developments," the reader should
review the Company's recent filing of Form 10-Q for the period ending September
30, 1998.

</TABLE>


NET REVENUE

         The Company's technology, marketing, distribution and sales efforts
have been focused on developing and accelerating product applications and
revenues in the United States, Europe, China, Australia and South America to
replace sales in Korea which have been materially lower since the beginning of
1998. During the second quarter, SONETLYNX sales to non-Korean customers
increased 203% and revenues from LANscape video conferencing products grew 395%.
Engineering services revenues grew 4%. For the first half, 


                                       9
<PAGE>   11


corresponding percentages were 70% for non-Korean SONETLYNX, 296% for LANscape
and 33% for engineering services. The overall decrease of net revenue by 43% and
- 21% mainly reflects reduced sales in Korea. All revenue differences reflect
differences in product volumes, not prices.

GROSS PROFIT

         SONETLYNX margins were adversely affected by decreased volume levels
reflecting the falloff in sales to Korea. Alternatively, engineering services,
DSP and video product margins improved as a result of increasing revenues.
Overall gross profit was lower by 89 % and increased 51%, respectively, over the
prior year periods from this combination of factors.

ENGINEERING AND DEVELOPMENT (E&D) EXPENSE

         Combining E&D expense with capitalized software, total development
costs were reduced by 15% and 10% in the three months and six months,
respectively. E&D expense for the three months and six months ended June 30,
1998, decreased to $1,554,000 and $4,399,000, respectively, compared to
$2,522,000 and $4,982,000 in the prior year periods. In the three months,
software development costs of $1,032,000 and $532,000, respectively, were
capitalized. In the six month period, capitalized SONETLYNX software development
cost decreased to $644,000 from $1,021,000 and video software development of
$388,000 was capitalized. The total costs of development were distributed by
product line as follows:

         During the second quarter of 1998, the SONETLYNX product line was
expanded to include the international standard SDH, Synchronous Digital
Hierarchy. Branded "FibreTrax," the SDH version serves the approximately 70% of
global markets for fiber optic transmission outside North America. Also, an
interface was developed to enable communication between multiple filter rings,
including rings of different speeds. The LANscape product line was enhanced to
support Release 4.0 of Windows NT. Also, the software foundation for connecting
LANscape with other protocols was established.

         E&D for the CS4 program was $938,000 and $925,000 in the first two
quarters of 1998. CS4 developments included feature enhancements, scheduling and
staffing for fabrication, and preparation for commercial product launch in 1999.
In addition to the E&D expense, fixed assets of $1,120,000 are specific to the
CS4 project.

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE

         Selling and administrative expenses in the three months and six months
ended June 30, 1998, were lower by 1% and 8%, respectively, compared to the
prior year. The expense reduction year-to-year also reflects the removal of
corporate headquarters from Bermuda during 1997, and the non-recurrence of
related extraordinary expenses.


                                       10
<PAGE>   12


INTEREST EXPENSE

         Cash interest expense in the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1998
was $251,000 and $256,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 1997
and 1998, cash interest expense was $571,000 and $476,000, respectively.
Remaining amounts reportable as interest are non-cash expenses due to
amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs attributable to
valuation of warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model except that in the
first half of 1997, $582,000 of the non-cash cost was attributable to a
beneficial conversion feature of certain convertible debentures issued in 1996.

DIVIDENDS ON PREFERRED STOCK

         Preferred dividends include $442,000 and $811,000 in the three months
and six months ended June 30, 1998, which the Company has elected to pay in
common stock or which accrue to be paid in common stock only upon conversion.
Also included in the reported amount are additional preferred dividends of
$96,000 and $474,000, respectively, attributable to the value of beneficial
conversion features of Series B, C and D preferred stock at date of issue.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

         The Company has conducted a review of its computer systems to identify
the systems that could be affected by the "Year 2000 Problem," the result of
computer programs using two digits rather than four to define the year portion
of dates. The Company has determined that none of its significant systems fail
to comply with the ability to distinguish the year 2000 from the year 1900. The
review continues, in an ongoing process, to examine the risk, if any, to the
Company, of vendor or customer exposure to the Problem. To date, no exposure has
been discovered which would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Certain purchased software, resold or used in company products, has been
certified by the vendors to be compliant. The financial impact of Year 2000
compliance has not been and is not anticipated to be material to the Company's
financial position or results of operations in any given year.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         For the six months ended June 30, 1998, cash balances increased by
$3,496,000. During the six-month period, the increased cash balances, cash used
in operations ($12,478,000) and in investing activities ($2,527,000)were funded
by securing new financing of $18,501,000 (net of $9,853,000 of debt repayments).

OPERATING ACTIVITIES

         Net cash used in operations consisted primarily of the $13,376,000 net
loss and the $2,804,000 net increase in working capital, offset by $3,702,000 of
non-cash charges. As previously discussed, the net loss primarily reflects the
costs of developing new technologies and products and the costs of operations
during a period of sharply reduced revenues following the sudden and virtual
discontinuance of sales in Korea at the beginning of 1998, as well as the effect
of the restatement of revenues.

         Additionally, in this context:

         o    Accounts receivable were a source of funding due to collections
              from customers $867,000 in excess of new shipments and billings.
         o    Inventory increased $1,539,000 due to restocking, longer term
              purchase commitments, and production for orders received near the
              end of June.


                                       11
<PAGE>   13


         o    Accounts payable were reduced $3,924,000 due to payments of
              accumulated obligations in line with prior operating levels.
         o    The non-cash charges were primarily $1,833,000 depreciation and
              amortization of intangible assets and $1,540,000 amortization of
              deferred financing costs.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES

         Investment accounts were increased primarily by $1,402,000 for fixed
asset additions and $1,032,000 of capitalized SONETLYNX and LANscape product
enhancements. The fixed asset additions were concentrated in computers,
software, and test equipment to support engineering activities, leasehold
improvements, and manufacturing equipment to support new products.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

         Cash uses were financed by the following transactions during the six
month period ended June 30, 1998:

         o    $10,000,000 from the sale of Series C preferred stock in February.
         o    $3,000,000 borrowed in February.
         o    A deferred payment arrangement converting $2,100,000 originally
              due in February to monthly payments through December 1998.
         o    $7,000,000 borrowed in April.
         o    $5,000,000 from the sale of Series D preferred stock in May.
         o    $5,000,000 from the sale of Series D preferred stock in June.

         Proceeds from these financings were used to retire maturing obligations
of $6,630,000 and $3,223,000 and for additional working capital.

OUTLOOK

         The materially reduced level of sales in Korea during the first half
fell below the range of the Company's expectations. Should future sales in
Korean markets not increase to previous levels, the Company believes that
prospects are good and expanding for achieving similar and higher levels of
sales in markets other than Korea. In the alternate, should working capital
additions be required by production and sales growth in excess of current plans,
although there can be no assurance of a successful undertaking, the Company
believes it has the experience, relationships and capability to obtain necessary
financing from external sources.

         The Company has continued to fund its program to complete development
and bring to market its CS4 intelligent, programmable, enhanced services
platform. The Company is also continuing its efforts to bring a third party
participant or participants into the CS4 program to provide funding, to
contribute to specification and development of selected applications, or to
augment marketing and distribution resources. The current focus of the CS4
program is to complete an initial application for a defined customer service
demonstration in beta form in the time frame of late 1998 or early 1999 and to
position a commercial version of the product for marketing in 1999. The results
of the Company's efforts to involve third party participants may be expected to
impact directly the level of expenditure, the technical and manufacturing scope
of focus, and the ultimate realization of value to the Company from the CS4
program.

         Considering the financial resources available and potentially
available, the outlook for cash available from customer collections, the outlook
for cash uses in operations and investing, and the options available to control
spending, the Company believes it has, or reasonably has access to, the
financial resources to meet its business requirements through the current year.
The Company cannot assure, however, that the business results assumed in this
outlook will be realized, especially considering the near term impact of reduced
revenues from Korea. The Company cannot assure that profitability and positive
cash flow will be achieved when 


                                       12
<PAGE>   14


expected. If the Company's sales plans are not achieved, operating losses and
negative cash flows exceed the Company's estimates, or capital requirements in
connection with the design, development, and commercialization of its principal
products are higher than estimated, the Company will need to raise additional
capital. The Company's ability to receive additional advances under its credit
facility expired per terms, July 31, 1998. If additional financing is in the
form of debt, the prior approval of the credit facility is required. Although
the Company believes it could raise additional capital through public or private
equity or debt financings, if necessary, there can be no assurance that such
financings would be available, or available on acceptable terms. If such
financing were not available, the Company has determined that a significant
reduction of engineering, development, selling, and administrative costs would
allow the Company to continue as a going concern through 1998. Over the longer
term, sales would have to increase from current levels for the Company to
operate in its current form with its current product portfolio.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

         As discussed in "ITEM 3 - Legal Proceedings" in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K, the Company is exposed to certain contingent liabilities
which, if resolved adversely to the Company, would adversely affect its
liquidity, its results of operations, and/or its financial position.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

         In connection with its review in connection with the Company's filing
of its report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 1998, the Company
disclosed that it would reflect the elimination of $1,915,000 of revenues on
shipments to Korea, previously recognized as revenues in the period ended June
30, 1998. Based on current facts and circumstances, including collectibility of
receivables from the Korean distributor, the Company concluded that such
shipments would not meet revenue recognition criteria. The impact of such
restatement has been reflected in the Form 10-Q filing as of September 30, 1998,
and for the nine months then ended, as well as in this filing. The developments
which have impacted the business and outlook for the Company are more fully set
forth in the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis" in the Form
10-Q for the period ended September 30, 1998, filed November 16, 1998.

ITEM 3 - CHANGES IN SECURITIES

         (c)   Recent sales of unregistered securities

under the Securities Act, on July 22, 1998 and July 23, 1998, the holder of
Series C Preferred Stock converted 775 and 200 shares, respectively, into
185,884 and 46,969 shares of Common Stock, respectively. Conversion was based on
97% of the average of the three lowest bid prices on the ten trading days
preceding the conversion dates.

ITEM 4 - SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

         The Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company was held on June 18,
1998. At the Annual Meeting, Robert H. Garrison, II was elected as a director of
the company. Herman M. Frietsch, Anton von Liechtenstein, and Philip P. Sudan,
Jr. continue to serve as directors pursuant to their prior election. In

ITEM 5 - OTHER INFORMATION

         As disclosed in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year 1997, in December 1997, the Company entered into loan transactions with the
following persons in the indicated original principal amounts: Edwin J. Ducayet,
Jr., Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, $200,000; Herman M. Frietsch,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, $100,000; a partnership of which Philip P.
Sudan, Jr., a director of the Company, is a general partner, $200,000; and
certain other employees and other persons, $210,000. The partnership of which
Mr. Sudan is a general partner then transferred $133,000 of the original
principal amount to a professional corporation controlled by Mr. Sudan and the
remainder to the other partner. The terms of each of the promissory notes which
evidence the transactions provide for the Company to pay to each payee on demand
the aggregate principal amount loaned to the Company, together with accrued
interest. The notes provided that the payee can elect to have the promissory
note paid in cash or shares of Common Stock at the rate of $5.25 per share for
each dollar of principal and interest outstanding. Interest on the promissory
notes accrues at the prime rate (as defined in the promissory note) plus three
percent. As of February 10, 1998, the loan by Mr. Ducayet to the Company was
paid in full. As of the date hereof, the loans by Messrs. Frietsch and Sudan
remain outstanding. The aggregate principal amount outstanding for the loans to
Messrs. Frietsch, Sudan, and the other employees and persons is $440,000 as of
August 13, 1998. In forebearance for demanding cash repayment of the loans, the
Company has agreed to amend and restate the outstanding promissory notes as of
August 14, 1997 and to reduce the conversion price on such loans to the rate of
$4.00 for each dollar of principal and interest outstanding. All other terms and
provisions of such amended and restated notes shall remain the same as those
originally issued.
