                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     (a) Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

     The  consolidated  financial  statements  of Zoom  Technologies,  Inc. (the
"Company")  presented  herein  have been  prepared  pursuant to the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not
include all of the information and footnote  disclosures  required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2003 included in the Company's
2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     The  consolidated  balance sheet as of September 30, 2004, the consolidated
statements  of operations  for the three months and nine months ended  September
30, 2004 and 2003,  and the  consolidated  statements of cash flows for the nine
months ended  September 30, 2004 and 2003 are unaudited,  but, in the opinion of
management,   include  all   adjustments   (consisting   of  normal,   recurring
adjustments)  necessary  for a fair  presentation  of results for these  interim
periods.

     The consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts and operations
of the Company's  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Zoom Telephonics,  Inc., a Delaware
corporation.  All significant  intercompany  accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

     The results of operations  for the periods  presented  are not  necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year ending December 31,
2004.

(b)  Stock-Based Compensation

     The Company  accounts for its stock option plans under the  recognition and
measurement  principles  of  Accounting  Principles  Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting  for Stock Issued to  Employees,  and Related  Interpretations."  No
stock-based  compensation  expense is reflected  in net income  (loss) for these
plans,  as all options  granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to
the  market  value of the  underlying  common  stock on the date of  grant.  The
following table  illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and earnings (loss)
per share if the Company had applied the fair value  recognition  provisions  of
Financial  Accounting  Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock Based Compensation", to stock based compensation:

</TABLE>

(c) RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In October  2004,  the FASB  indicated  that they will require  stock-based
employee  compensation  to be recorded  as a charge to  earnings  pursuant to an
exposure draft they have  published for comment,  which they believe will become
effective  for awards  that are granted in interim or annual  periods  beginning
after June 15, 2004.  The Company  will  continue to monitor the progress on the
issuance  of  this  standard  and  the  impact  it may  have  on  the  Company's
consolidated financial statements.

(2)  Liquidity

     On December 31, 2003 Zoom had cash and cash  equivalents  of  approximately
$9.9  million.  On  September  30,  2004 Zoom had cash and cash  equivalents  of
approximately $10.3 million. Currently the Company does not have a debt facility
from which it can borrow.  The  Company is  currently  reviewing  a  non-binding
proposal  from a lender for a one-year  $2 million  line of credit.  Should Zoom
decide to proceed with this  facility,  it cannot  assure that the debt facility
will ultimately be available on terms  acceptable to the Company,  if at all, or
that the parties will be able to agree on definitive documentation.

     To conserve cash and manage its liquidity,  the Company implemented expense
reductions throughout the past three years.  The employee  headcount  was 185 at
December 31, 2002,  159 at December 31, 2003 and 155 at September 30, 2004.  The
Company  intends to continue to assess its cost  structure  as it relates to its
revenues  and  cash  position  in 2004  and  thereafter,  and may  make  further
reductions if these actions are deemed necessary.

     Management  believes  it has  sufficient  resources  to  fund  its  planned
operations over the next 12 months.  However, if over time the Company continues
to incur losses or does not raise capital, the Company's  longer-term ability to
continue as a going concern and achieve its intended  business  objectives could
be adversely  affected.  See "Risk Factors" below, for further  information with
respect to events and  uncertainties  that  could harm the  Company's  business,
operating results, and financial condition.

(3)  Earnings Per Share

     The  reconciliation  of the  numerators and  denominators  of the basic and
diluted net earnings (loss) per share  computations  for the Company's  reported
net income (loss) is as follows:

     Potential  common  shares  for which  inclusion  would  have the  effect of
increasing diluted earnings per share (i.e., antidilutive) are excluded from the
computations. Options to purchase 1,054,050 and 1,478,600 shares of common stock
at September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively,  were outstanding but not included
in the  computations  of diluted  earnings  per share for the three months ended
September  30, 2004 and the nine months ended  September  30, 2004 and 2003,  as
their effect would be antidilutive.

(5) Comprehensive Income (Loss)

     Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 130,  "Reporting
Comprehensive  Income"  establishes  rules  for the  reporting  and  display  of
comprehensive income (loss) and its components; however, it has no impact on the
Company's  net income  (loss).  SFAS No. 130 requires all changes in equity from
non-owner  sources to be included in the  determination of comprehensive  income
(loss).

     The components of comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, are as follows:

(6)  Long-Term Debt

     On January  10, 2001 the  Company  obtained a mortgage  loan for $6 million
secured by the real estate property located at 201 and 207 South Street, Boston,
Massachusetts.  This is a 20-year  direct  reduction  mortgage  with a five-year
balloon payment due January 10, 2006. As of September 30, 2004, our indebtedness
was $5.2  million.  This real  estate  was  appraised  on July 24,  2002 at $9.3
million and generally  the real estate market in Boston has remained  relatively
flat. The interest rate on the mortgage is fixed for one year,  based on the one
year  Federal  Home Loan Bank rate plus 2.5% per  annum.  The  interest  rate is
adjusted on January 10th of each calendar  year  commencing on January 10, 2002.
Zoom's interest rate was adjusted to 3.99% on January 10, 2004.

(7)  Commitments

     During  the nine  month  period  ended  September  30,  2004  there were no
material changes to the capital  commitments and contractual  obligations of the
Company from those  disclosed  in the Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31,
2003.

(9)  Customer Concentrations

     Three customers  accounted  individually  for more than 10% of net sales in
the first nine  months of 2004 and  collectively  for  approximately  36% of net
sales in the first nine months of 2004. In the third quarter of 2004, these same
three  customers  accounted  for  approximately  34% of net sales.  Of the three
customers that  accounted  individually  for more than 10% of net sales,  one is
included  in  each  of  these   Footnote  (8)   geographic   categories:   Other
International, the UK, and the United States. Our net sales and operating income
could  fluctuate   significantly  due  to,  among  other  things,   new  product
introductions, old product phase-outs, approvals and delays in the deployment by
service  providers  of ADSL and cable  service  in these  countries,  changes in
political or economic conditions,  or the loss,  reduction of business,  or less
favorable terms for any of our significant customers.

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

     The following  discussion and analysis  should be read in conjunction  with
the safe harbor statement and the risk factors contained herein and set forth in
our Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31,  2003.  Readers
should  also be  cautioned  that  results of any  reported  period are often not
indicative of results for any future period.

OVERVIEW

     Zoom primarily sells communication  products,  principally dial-up and ADSL
modems,  to retailers,  distributors,  Internet Service  Providers  (ISPs),  and
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). We sell our products to these customers
through our direct sales force and through  commissioned sales  representatives.
The  majority  of our  employees  work in Boston,  Massachusetts,  either in our
corporate-owned  headquarters or our leased production facility.  We also have a
sales and  support  office in the United  Kingdom  and a support  center in Boca
Raton, Florida.

     Historically  most of Zoom's sales have resulted from the after-market sale
of  dial-up  modems  through  retailers  to  end-users  for  use in the  home or
business.  These end-user customers  typically either wanted to add a modem to a
computer  that did not have a modem,  needed to replace a  defective  modem,  or
wanted to  upgrade  to a modem with a higher  speed or more  advanced  features.
Since the vast  majority of retail  personal  computers now come with 56K modems
installed,  and since 56K is the highest  speed  dial-up  modem  available,  the
upgrade  market has steadily  declined  over the past few years.  This  decline,
coupled  with  competition  from  broadband  access  devices like ADSL and cable
modems  and  lower  selling  prices  for  dial-up  modems,  has  resulted  in  a
corresponding decline in Zoom's dial-up modem sales.

     As a vehicle for potential growth, Zoom has made significant investments in
broadband and other  technologies.  The broadband  market has grown rapidly over
the past few years and is expected to continue to grow quickly.  So far Zoom has
been more successful in the ADSL modem market than in the cable modem market.

     Zoom's product philosophy emphasizes quality, reliability, and low cost. We
therefore continually seek to optimize our product designs and lower our cost of
goods through intelligent  design,  aggressive  outsourcing,  and the use of new
technology.  Most of our products  use modem or other  chipsets  purchased  from
outside vendors.  This allows us to take advantage of the extensive research and
development  capabilities  and  competitiveness  of our  chipset  suppliers  and
reduces our development  time and the associated costs and risks of bringing new
products  to  market.  As a result  of this  approach,  Zoom is able to  quickly
develop new and innovative  products while keeping its research and  development
expense relatively small as a percentage of sales.

     Zoom also outsources most of its board-level manufacturing,  allowing us to
take advantage of the competitive  worldwide  market for contract  manufacturing
services.  This contract  manufacturing frees us from the capital equipment cost
and  the   inflexibility,   expense,   and  management  burden  associated  with
maintaining  a  dedicated   workforce  for  electronics   assembly   operations.
Packaging,  testing and shipping are typically done at our Boston, Massachusetts
manufacturing  facility.  This helps to reduce  shipping costs from our contract
assemblers and gives us the opportunity to monitor  manufacturing quality and to
efficiently customize products for our customers.

     In recent years Zoom has benefited from purchase discount programs with our
major chipset  suppliers.  These  agreements have resulted in reduced unit costs
for our dial-up modems. From the first quarter of 2002 through the third quarter
of 2004, we realized  significant benefits to our Cost of Goods Sold as a result
of these  agreements.  The  benefit to Cost of Goods  Sold from  these  purchase
discount  agreements  will end in the  fourth  quarter  of 2004.  Zoom  hopes to
replace  these  agreements,  but our ability to negotiate  favorable  terms will
depend on a number of factors  including our projected  volumes,  our ability to
reach those volumes,  and the competitive  landscape in the chipset market.  The
failure to obtain new favorable  discount  programs  could  increase our Cost of
Goods Sold and could have a  significant  adverse  effect on the gross profit of
our products that use chipsets covered by our previous agreements.

     Our net sales for the third quarter of 2004  declined  21.5% from the third
quarter  of 2003.  Our net  sales  for the first  and  second  quarters  of 2004
increased   3.4%  and  7.4%  from  the  first  and  second   quarters  of  2003,
respectively.  In all three quarters our ADSL modem sales  increased as compared
to the  previous  year's  corresponding  quarter,  and our  dial-up  modem sales
declined.  While we remain  optimistic about continued success in the ADSL modem
area,  our  ADSL  sales  are  currently  concentrated  with a  small  number  of
customers,  so there is no  predictable  uniformity for our quarterly ADSL sales
and our sales may  fluctuate  significantly.  We are  continuing  our efforts to
expand our ADSL customer base and to use our strength in ADSL to expand our ADSL
product  line and  enter  new  markets.  Late in the  third  quarter  of 2004 we
introduced a new product which  incorporates  "Voice over Internet  Protocol" or
"VoIP"  capability  into an ADSL modem.  We also  introduced our own VoIP (Voice
over Internet Protocol)  telephone service called "Global  Village(TM)" to offer
free IP-to-IP phone service, low-cost calling to virtually anyone worldwide, and
the option for home users of unlimited fixed price domestic calling.

     During the past few years,  to conserve  cash and manage our  liquidity  we
implemented expense reductions,  including reductions in employee headcount. Our
employee  headcount  was 185 at  December  31,  2002 which was reduced to 159 at
December 31, 2003 and 155 at September 30, 2004. We intend to continue to assess
our cost  structure as it relates to our revenues and cash position in 2004, and
may make further reductions if these actions are deemed necessary.

     Our cash and cash  equivalents  balance  at  September  30,  2004 was $10.3
million,  up from $9.9 million at December 31, 2003. This  improvement  resulted
primarily  from cash  received  from the  exercise  of employee  stock  options,
partially offset by a reduction of cash from operating activities.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

     The  following  is a  discussion  of what we view as our  more  significant
accounting  policies  and  estimates.  These  policies  and  estimates  are also
described in the notes to our audited  consolidated  financial statements in our
Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal  year ended  December  31,  2003.  As
described  below,  management  judgments and estimates  must be made and used in
connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.  Where
noted,  material  differences  could  result in the amount and timing of our net
sales, costs, and expenses for any period if we made different judgments or used
different estimates.

     REVENUE (NET SALES) RECOGNITION. We currently sell hardware products to our
customers. These products include dial-up modems, embedded modems, cable modems,
PC cameras,  ISDN and ADSL  modems,  telephone  dialers,  and wireless and wired
networking equipment.  While we generally have not sold software or services, we
now offer phone service to VoIP customers  under our Global  Village  brand.  We
currently  derive our net sales primarily from the sale of hardware  products to
four types of customers:

o    computer product retailers,
o    computer product distributors,
o    Internet Service Providers (ISPs), and
o    original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

     We  recognize  net sales for all four types of  customers at the point when
the customer takes legal  ownership of the delivered  products.  Legal ownership
passes from Zoom to the customer based on the contractual FOB point specified in
signed contracts and purchase orders,  which are both used extensively.  Many of
our customer contracts or purchase orders specify FOB destination. We verify the
delivery date on all significant FOB destination  shipments made during the last
10 business days of each quarter.

     Our net sales to computer products  retailers are reduced by certain events
that are  characteristic  of sales of hardware to computer  products  retailers.
These events are product returns, certain sales and marketing incentives,  price
protection refunds, and consumer and in-store mail-in rebates.  Each of these is
accounted  for  as a  reduction  to  net  sales  based  on  detailed  management
estimates,  which are reconciled to actual customer or end-consumer credits on a
monthly or quarterly basis.

     Product  Returns.  Products are returned by retail stores and  distributors
for inventory  balancing,  contractual stock rotation  privileges,  and warranty
repair or replacements.  We estimate the sales and cost value of expected future
product returns of previously  sold products.  Our estimates for product returns
are based on recent  historical  trends plus estimates for returns  prompted by,
among other things,  new product  introductions,  announced  stock rotations and
announced customer store closings,  etc.  Management reviews historical returns,
current  economic  trends,  and changes in customer demand and acceptance of our
products  when  estimating  sales  return  allowances.  The  estimate for future
returns is recorded as a reserve against accounts receivable, a reduction of net
sales,  and the  corresponding  change  to  inventory  and  cost of  sales.  The
relationship of quarterly  physical  product returns to quarterly  product sales
has remained relatively stable for many years.

     Price Protection  Refunds. We have a policy of offering price protection to
certain  of our  retailer  and  distributor  customers  for  some  or all  their
inventory.  Under the price protection policies, when we reduce our prices for a
product,  the customer receives a credit for the difference between the original
purchase price and our reduced price for their unsold inventory of that product.
Our estimates for price protection refunds are based on a detailed understanding
and  tracking by  customer  and by sales  program.  Estimated  price  protection
refunds are recorded in the same period as the announcement of a pricing change.
Information   from   customer   inventory-on-hand   reports   or   from   direct
communications  with the  customers  is used to estimate  the  refund,  which is
recorded as a reduction of net sales and a reserve against accounts  receivable.
In the third  quarter of 2004,  we recorded a price  protection  charge  against
sales in the UK of $.25  million,  primarily  the result of price  reductions on
dial-up modems.

     Sales and Marketing Incentives.  Many of our retail customers require sales
and marketing support funding, usually set as a percentage of our sales in their
stores. The percentages are taken from our customer contracts.

     Consumer Mail-In and In-Store Rebates and Store Rebates.  Our estimates for
consumer mail-in rebates are based on a detailed  understanding  and tracking by
customer and by sales  program,  supported by actual rebate claims  processed by
the rebate redemption centers plus an accrual for an estimated lag in processing
at the  redemption  centers.  Our  estimates  for store rebates are comprised of
actual credit requests from the eligible customers. The estimate for mail-in and
store  rebates  is  recorded  as a reserve  against  accounts  receivable  and a
reduction  of net  sales  in the same  period  that the  rebate  obligation  was
triggered.

     To ensure that the sales, discounts,  and marketing incentives are recorded
in the proper period, we perform extensive tracking and documenting by customer,
by period, and by type of marketing event. This tracking includes reconciliation
to the accounts  receivable  records for  deductions  taken by our customers for
these discounts and incentives.

     ACCOUNTS  RECEIVABLE  VALUATION.  We establish accounts receivable reserves
equal to the  above-discussed  net sales  adjustments  for  estimates of product
returns,  price  protection  refunds,  and  consumer  and store  rebates.  These
reserves are drawn down as actual credits are issued to the customer's accounts.

     Our bad-debt  write-offs  have not been  significant  during the last three
years.

     INVENTORY  VALUATION  AND COST OF GOODS  SOLD.  Inventory  is  valued  on a
standard cost basis where the material  standards are  periodically  updated for
current  material  pricing.  Reserves for obsolete  inventory are established by
management  based on usability  reviews  performed  each  quarter.  Our reserves
against the inventory of a particular  product  range from 0% to 100%,  based on
management's estimate of the probability that the material will not be consumed.
Our valuation process is to compare our cost to the selling prices each quarter,
less cost to sell or dispose, and if the selling price of a product is less than
the "if  completed"  cost of our  inventory,  we  write-down  the inventory on a
"lower of cost or market" basis.

     In  2002  we  entered  into  supply  arrangements  with  suppliers  of some
components  that  include  price  and  other  concessions,  including  no-charge
components, for meeting certain purchase requirements or commitments.  Under one
of these  arrangements,  we committed to purchase  approximately $8.0 million of
components over a period of approximately 30-months that commenced on January 1,
2002,  provided  that those  components  were offered at  competitive  terms and
prices.  We believe that at September 30, 2004, we are on track to meet the $8.0
million  commitment  in 2004.  In connection  with this  arrangement,  we became
entitled to receive at least $3.0  million of no-charge  components,  based upon
the supplier's  market price for the components in late 2001 and early 2002, and
other  pricing  concessions  based on our  purchase  volumes.  We received  $1.2
million of these no-charge components in the fourth quarter of 2001. We received
the  remainder of the no-charge  components  in the first  quarter of 2002.  The
favorable  impact  to our  statement  of  operations  has been  calculated  as a
purchase discount over the estimated total number of components acquired through
the  approximate 30 month supply  agreement and recognized on a delayed basis as
the  products  employing  the  acquired   components   involved  in  the  supply
arrangement  are sold.  This method of accounting has been consistent each year.
The benefit to our statement of operations  for the delayed  recognition  of the
$3.0 million of no-charge components is expected to end in the fourth quarter of
2004.

     VALUATION AND IMPAIRMENT OF DEFERRED TAX ASSETS.  As part of the process of
preparing our consolidated  financial statements we are required to estimate our
income tax expense and deferred income tax position.  This process  involves the
estimation of our actual current tax exposure together with assessing  temporary
differences  resulting from differing  treatment of items for tax and accounting
purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which
are  included  in our  consolidated  balance  sheet.  We must  then  assess  the
likelihood  that our deferred tax assets will be recovered  from future  taxable
income  and to the  extent we  believe  that  recovery  is not  likely,  we must
establish  a  valuation  allowance.  To the  extent  we  establish  a  valuation
allowance or increase  this  allowance  in a period,  we must include an expense
within the tax provision in the statement of operations.

     Significant  management  judgment is required in determining  our provision
for income taxes and any valuation  allowance  recorded against our net deferred
tax assets. At September 30, 2004, we currently have a 100% valuation  allowance
against our  deferred  tax  assets.  It is  management's  estimate  that,  after
considering all the available  objective  evidence,  historical and prospective,
with greater  weight given to  historical  evidence,  it is more likely than not
that these assets will not be realized.  If we establish a record of  continuing
profitability,  at some  point we will be  required  to  reverse  the  valuation
allowance and restore the deferred asset value to the balance  sheet,  recording
an equal income tax benefit which will increase net income in that period(s).

     VALUATION OF INVESTMENT  IN  AFFILIATES.  We have a minority  interest in a
privately held software development  company,  which we have been accounting for
under the equity method of  accounting.  Under the equity method of  accounting,
our  investment  is  increased  or  decreased,  not below  zero,  based upon our
proportionate  share of the net earnings or losses of the investee  company.  We
made our original  investment in 1999,  at the time of the company's  formation,
and have subsequently made additional  investments which have maintained our 30%
ownership  interest.  As a  result  of  the  losses  incurred  by  the  investee
subsequent to our investments, our investment balance was reduced to zero during
2002. We discontinued applying the equity method when the investment was reduced
to zero and did not provide for  additional  losses,  as we have not  guaranteed
obligations of the investee and are not committed to provide  further  financial
support.  The  investee  has  recently  reported to us that it is  beginning  to
achieve  profitability  and that its  prospects  have been  improving  in recent
months.  We have  requested  that  management  of the  investee  provide us with
audited  financial  statements  in the  near  term to allow  us to  verify  this
financial information.  If the investee reports net income in future periods, we
will resume  applying the equity  method only after our share of that net income
equals  the share of net  losses  not  recognized  during  the period the equity
method was suspended.

Results of Operations

     SUMMARY.  Net sales were $7.1 million for the third quarter ended September
30, 2004,  down 21.5% from $9.1 million for the third  quarter of 2003. We had a
net loss of $1.0 million for the third  quarter of 2004,  compared to net income
of $.4 million for the third  quarter of 2003.  Loss per diluted share was $0.12
for the third  quarter of 2004  compared to net income per diluted share of $.05
for the third quarter of 2003.  Net sales were $23.0 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2004, down 4.8% from $24.2 million for the nine months ended
September  30, 2003. We had a net loss of $2.2 million for the nine months ended
September  30, 2004,  compared to a net loss of $1.4 million for the nine months
ended  September  30, 2003.  Loss per diluted share for the nine month period in
2004 was $.26  compared to a loss per  diluted  share of $.18 for the nine month
period in 2003.

     NET SALES.  Our net sales were $7.1  million  for the third  quarter  ended
September 30, 2004,  down 21.5% from $9.1 million for the third quarter of 2003.
Net sales were $23.0 million for the nine months ended  September 30, 2004, down
4.8% from $24.2 million for the nine months ended  September 30, 2003.  The $2.0
million net sales  decrease for the third quarter of 2004 from the third quarter
of 2003 was primarily due to a $2.9 million  decrease in dial-up modem sales,  a
$.4 million  decrease in cable modem and other product sales, and a $1.3 million
increase in ADSL modem sales.  The $1.2 million net sales decrease for the first
nine  months of 2004 from the first nine months of 2003 was  primarily  due to a
decrease in dial-up modem sales of $5.3  million,  a decrease of cable modem and
other  product  sales of $1.1  million,  and an increase of $5.2 million in ADSL
modem  sales.  Dial-up  modem sales  declined  due to a decrease of both dial-up
modem  unit sales and,  to a lesser  extent,  declining  dial-up  modem  average
selling prices.  Dial-up modem unit sales declined  primarily as a result of the
loss of a major  retail  customer,  Best Buy, and the  continued  decline of the
dial-up modem  after-market,  due in part to the trend toward faster  connection
speeds and  broadband  access  products.  The  increase  in ADSL modem sales was
primarily due to an increase in unit sales in international  markets,  which was
partially  offset  in  the  period  by  lower  selling  prices  as a  result  of
competitive pressures.

     Our net sales in the United States  declined from $5.5 million in the third
quarter of 2003 to $3.3 million in the third  quarter of 2004.  Our net sales in
the United  States  declined from $14.4 million in the first nine months of 2003
to $10.9 million in the first nine months of 2004. Our  international  net sales
increased  from $3.6 million in the third quarter of 2003 to $3.8 million in the
third quarter of 2004. Our  international  net sales increased from $9.8 million
in the first nine  months of 2003 to $12.1  million in the first nine  months of
2004. These changes reflect our declining sales of dial-up modems worldwide, our
relatively  strong ADSL sales in the  international  markets,  and the  positive
currency  impact  on a  significant  portion  of our  international  sales.  The
positive  currency impact on our net sales was $.2 million for the third quarter
of 2004 as measured  against the third quarter of 2003,  and $.7 million for the
first nine months of 2004 as measured against the first nine months of 2003.

     Three customers  accounted  individually  for more than 10% of net sales in
the first nine months of 2004 and  collectively for  approximately  36% of total
net sales in the first nine months of 2004. In the third quarter of 2004,  these
same three customers  accounted for approximately 34% of net sales. Of the three
customers that  accounted  individually  for more than 10% of net sales,  one is
included  in  each  of  these   Footnote  (8)   geographic   categories:   Other
International, the UK, and the United States. Our net sales and operating income
could fluctuate  significantly due to, among other things,  approvals and delays
in the  deployment  by  service  providers  of ADSL and cable  service  in these
countries,  changes in political or economic conditions,  or the loss, reduction
of business, or less favorable terms for any of our significant customers.

     GROSS  PROFIT.  Our gross  profit  decreased  to $1.5 million for the third
quarter  of 2004 from $3.0  million  for the third  quarter  of 2003.  Our gross
profit as a  percentage  of net sales  was 21.0% for the third  quarter  of 2004
compared to 32.5% for the third quarter of 2003.  Our gross profit  decreased to
$6.1  million for the first nine months of 2004 from $6.9  million for the first
nine months of 2003.  Our gross profit as a percentage  of net sales  reduced to
26.3% for the first nine  months of 2004 from 28.4% for the first nine months of
2003.  The  decline in gross  profit as a  percentage  of net sales in the third
quarter of 2004 compared to the third quarter of 2003  resulted  primarily  from
lower sales,  a product mix shift away from dial-up  modems,  our highest margin
product category,  the negative effect of fixed  manufacturing costs spread over
lower  sales,  and a $.3 million  price  protection  credit in the UK due to the
lowering of selling  prices in some  channels.  The decline in gross profit as a
percentage  of net sales in the first nine months of 2004  compared to the first
nine months of 2003  resulted  primarily  from lower sales,  a product mix shift
away from dial-up modems, our highest margin product category,  and a decline in
ADSL margins due to  competitive  pressure on our selling  prices.  In the three
months and nine  months of both 2004 and 2003 we recorded a benefit to our gross
profit as a result of discount purchase agreements for chipsets,  which will end
in the fourth quarter of 2004. If we are unable to obtain new favorable discount
programs,  our costs for chipsets  could  increase and our gross profit could be
adversely affected.  In both the three months and the first nine months of 2004,
the chipset discounts contributed 3.5 percentage points of gross profit.

     OPERATING EXPENSE.  Our operating expense remained  approximately  level at
$2.6  million for the third  quarter of 2004  compared  to the third  quarter of
2003. As a percentage of net sales, our operating  expense increased to 36.6% in
the third quarter of 2004 from 29.1% in the third quarter of 2003. Our operating
expense  decreased by $.1 million to $8.4 million or 36.4% of net sales for nine
months ended  September 30, 2004 from $8.5 million or 35.3% of net sales for the
nine months ended September 30, 2003.

     Selling Expense.  Selling expense  decreased  approximately  $.3 million to
$1.1  million  or 15.6% of net  sales in the  third  quarter  of 2004  from $1.4
million  or 15.1% of net sales in the third  quarter  of 2003.  Selling  expense
decreased  $.5  million to $3.5  million or 15.3% of net sales in the first nine
months of 2004 from $4.0  million or 16.4% of net sales in the first nine months
of 2003. Selling expense was lower in both the quarter and the nine month period
primarily  because of lower sales which resulted in lower  commissions,  product
delivery  expense,  and marketing  expense.  Selling headcount and salaries were
also lower.

     General and  Administrative  Expense.  General and  administrative  expense
increased  $.2 million to $.8 million or 10.9% of net sales in the third quarter
of 2004 from $.6  million  or 6.7% of net sales in the  third  quarter  of 2003.
General and  administrative  expense  increased  $.4 million to $2.8  million or
12.1% of net sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $2.4 million
or 10.0% of net sales in the nine months ended  September 30, 2003.  General and
administrative  expense  increased  $.2 million in the quarter  primarily due to
recoveries  of bad debts in the third  quarter of 2003 which reduced the Q3 2003
General and  Administrative  expense by $.1 million.  For the nine month period,
the  increase of $.4  million was due  primarily  to $.3 million  ($286,000)  of
acquisition-related  expense for an acquisition that was not consummated and the
2003 bad debt reversals,  partially offset by reduced depreciation and insurance
expense.

     Research  and  Development   Expense.   Research  and  development  expense
increased slightly,  less than $.1 million to $0.7 million or 10.1% of net sales
in the third quarter of 2004 from $0.7 million or 7.2% of net sales in the third
quarter of 2003.  Research and development expense decreased $.1 million to $2.1
million or 9.0% of net sales in the first nine months of 2004 from $2.2  million
or 8.9% of net sales in the first nine months of 2003.  Research and development
costs  increased  in the  third  quarter  primarily  as a  result  of  increased
headcount and related personnel costs.  Research and development costs decreased
in the first nine months primarily as a result of decreased costs for regulatory
approvals.  Development and support continues on all of our major product lines,
with  particular  emphasis on VoIP  hardware,  the Global Village phone service,
ADSL modems, and dial-up modems.

     OTHER INCOME  (EXPENSE),  NET. Other income  (expense),  net was relatively
unchanged  with  income of $.09  million in the third  quarter of 2004 and 2003.
Other  income  (expense),  net  decreased to income of $.15 million in the first
nine months of 2004  compared to income of $.25 million in the first nine months
of 2003, primarily due to increased losses realized on foreign currency exchange
and a one-time  gain on the sale of an  internet  domain  name in the prior year
period.

     INCOME TAX EXPENSE  (BENEFIT).  We did not record any income tax benefit in
the three and nine months ended  September 30, 2004 or the three and nine months
ended  September  30, 2003.  The net deferred tax asset balance at September 30,
2004 is zero. This accounting treatment is described in further detail under the
caption CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     On September 30, 2004 we had working  capital of $15.6  million,  including
$10.3 million in cash and cash equivalents.

     In the nine months ended September 30, 2004 operating  activities used $1.3
million in cash.  Our net loss in the nine months ended  September  30, 2004 was
$2.2 million.  Adjustments  to reconcile our net loss of $2.2 million to our net
cash used in operating activities of $1.3 million include favorable  adjustments
of $1.3  million  for our  decrease  of  accounts  receivable,  $.3  million for
depreciation  and  amortization,  and $.1  million  for our  decrease of prepaid
expense.  Unfavorable  adjustments  include our  increase of  inventory  of $0.6
million  and our  reduction  of accounts  payable  and  accrued  expenses of $.3
million.  Our accounts  receivable  balance  decreased  primarily due to reduced
sales and faster  collections  of sales.  Our inventory  increased  primarily to
support our increased ADSL sales.

     In the nine months ended September 30, 2004,  investing activities used $.1
million in cash for additions to our property, plant, and equipment.

     In the nine months ended September 30, 2004 financing  activities  provided
$1.9  million of cash,  due  primarily  to receipt of $2.0 million cash from the
exercise of employee stock options, partially offset by $.2 million in cash used
for monthly principal payments of our $6.0 million mortgage.

     Currently we do not have a debt facility from which we can borrow.  We are,
however, currently reviewing a non-binding proposal from a lender for a one-year
$2 million line of credit.  Should we decide to proceed with this  facility,  we
cannot be assured that the debt facility  will  ultimately be available on terms
acceptable  to us,  if at all,  or that  the  parties  will be able to  agree on
definitive documentation.

     To conserve cash and manage our liquidity,  we implemented  certain expense
reductions  throughout the past three years.  Our employee  headcount was 185 at
December  31, 2002 which has been reduced to 159 at December 31, 2003 and 155 at
September  30,  2004.  We intend to continue to assess our cost  structure as it
relates to our  revenues  and cash  position  in 2004,  and we may make  further
reductions if the actions are deemed necessary.

     Management  believes  we have  sufficient  resources  to fund  our  planned
operations over the next 12 months.  However,  if over time we continue to incur
losses or do not raise capital,  our longer-term  ability to continue as a going
concern  and  achieve  our  intended  business  objectives  could  be  adversely
affected.  See "Risk Factors"  below,  for further  information  with respect to
events and uncertainties that could harm our business,  operating  results,  and
financial condition.

Commitments

     During the nine months ended  September  30,  2004,  there were no material
changes  to our  capital  commitments  and  contractual  obligations  from those
disclosed in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In October  2004,  the FASB  indicated  that they will require  stock-based
employee  compensation  to be recorded  as a charge to  earnings  pursuant to an
exposure draft they have  published for comment,  which they believe will become
effective  for awards  that are granted in interim or annual  periods  beginning
after June 15, 2005. We will continue to monitor their  progress on the issuance
of this  standard  and the  impact  it may  have on our  consolidated  financial
statements.

WE MAY  CONTINUE TO INCUR NET LOSSES IF WE ARE UNABLE TO  INCREASE  SALES OF OUR
BROADBAND MODEMS.

     Our net sales  continue  to  decline  primarily  due to the  decline in the
dial-up modem market, decreases in average selling prices of dial-up modems, and
the trend toward faster connection speeds and broadband access products. Despite
numerous cost  reductions  over the last few years,  we have  continued to incur
significant net losses primarily due to our continuous decline in net sales from
dial-up modems.  We believe that the future of our business is largely dependent
on the  success of our  broadband  modems and other  products,  such as our VoIP
products  and  services  the  first  of  which  was  released  in Q3 2004 and an
additional  product is expected  to be released in Q4 2004.  Although we believe
that we have sufficient  resources to fund our planned  operations over the next
year,  if we fail to increase  our net sales of our  broadband  modems and other
products,  our  longer-term  ability  to stay in  business  and to  achieve  our
intended business objectives could be adversely effected.  Our continuing losses
could  also  adversely  affect our  ability  to fund the growth of our  business
should our strategies prove successful.

TO STAY IN BUSINESS WE MAY REQUIRE  FUTURE  ADDITIONAL  FUNDING  WHICH WE MAY BE
UNABLE TO OBTAIN ON ACCEPTABLE TERMS, IF AT ALL.

     Over the next twelve months,  we may require  additional  financing for our
operations  either  to fund  losses  beyond  those we  anticipate  or to fund an
increase of our inventory  should growth occur.  We currently do not have a debt
facility  from  which  we can  borrow  and  may not be  able  to  obtain  one on
acceptable terms unless we have a change in  circumstances.  We currently have a
non-binding  proposal  from a lender for a one-year  $2 million  line of credit.
Should we decide to proceed  with this  facility,  we cannot be assured that the
debt facility will ultimately be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all,
or  that  the  parties  will  be  able to  agree  on  definitive  documentation.
Additional  financing may not be available to us on a timely basis if at all, or
on terms acceptable to us. If we fail to obtain acceptable  additional financing
when needed, we may be required to further reduce planned expenditures or forego
business  opportunities,  which could reduce our net sales, increase our losses,
and harm our business.  Moreover,  additional  equity financing could dilute the
per  share  value  of our  common  stock  held by  current  shareholders,  while
additional   debt   financing   could  restrict  our  ability  to  make  capital
expenditures  or incur  additional  indebtedness,  all of which would impede our
ability to succeed.

OUR CUSTOMER BASE IS CONCENTRATED, AND THE RECENT LOSS OF A SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER
WILL REDUCE REVENUES AND THE PROFIT CONTRIBUTION OF OUR DIAL-UP MODEM BUSINESS.

     Three customers  accounted  individually  for more than 10% of net sales in
the first nine months of 2004 and  collectively for  approximately  36% of total
net sales in the first nine months of 2004. In the third quarter of 2004,  these
same three customers  accounted for  approximately  34% of net sales. Our fourth
largest customer in the first quarter of 2004, Best Buy,  discontinued the sales
of our  dial-up  modems  around  June 2004.  This action was taken to reduce the
amount of Best Buy shelf space  allocated to dial-up modems and to increase Best
Buy's house-brand  share of their modem category.  In the first quarter of 2004,
Best Buy  accounted  for 6.6% of our total net sales.  In the second  quarter of
2004, our net sales to Best Buy were reduced to approximately  $140,000, or 1.7%
of net sales,  and no further net sales are  expected at this time.  The loss of
Best Buy as a customer has reduced net sales and negatively impacted our dial-up
modem  business.  Sales of our ADSL modems are  concentrated in a relatively few
customers  primarily in Turkey, the UK and other European  countries.  Our sales
could fluctuate  significantly due to, among other things,  approvals and delays
in the  deployment  by  service  providers  of ADSL and cable  service  in these
countries,  changes  in the  political  or  economic  conditions,  or the  loss,
reduction  of  business  or less  favorable  terms  for  any of our  significant
customers.  The loss,  reduction of business or less favorable terms of sale for
any  other  of our  significant  customers,  may  further  reduce  revenues  and
negatively impact our business.

OUR NET SALES AND OPERATING  RESULTS HAVE BEEN ADVERSELY  AFFECTED  BECAUSE OF A
DECLINE  IN AVERAGE  SELLING  PRICES  AND  BECAUSE OF THE  DECLINE IN THE RETAIL
MARKET FOR DIAL-UP MODEMS.

     The dial-up  modem  industry has been  characterized  by declining  average
selling  prices and a declining  retail market.  The decline in average  selling
prices is due to a number of  factors,  including  technological  change,  lower
component costs,  and competition.  The decline in the size of the retail market
for dial-up  modems is primarily due to the inclusion of dial-up  modems in most
new PCs, and alternatives to dial-up modems  including  broadband  modems.  Less
advantageous  terms of sales,  decreasing  average  selling  prices and  reduced
demand for our dial-up  modems  have  resulted  and may in the future  result in
decreased net sales for dial-up modems, which has been our primary source of net
sales. If we fail to replace  declining revenue from the sales of dial-up modems
with the  sales of our other  products,  including  our  broadband  modems,  our
business and results of operation will be harmed.

WE BELIEVE  THAT OUR FUTURE  SUCCESS WILL DEPEND IN LARGE PART ON OUR ABILITY TO
MORE  SUCCESSFULLY  PENETRATE  THE  BROADBAND  MODEM  MARKETS,  WHICH  HAVE BEEN
CHALLENGING MARKETS WITH SIGNIFICANT BARRIERS TO ENTRY.

     With the shrinking of the dial-up modem market,  we believe that our future
success will depend in large part on our ability to more successfully  penetrate
the ADSL  modem,  VoIP,  and  cable  modem  markets.  These  markets  have  been
challenging, with significant barriers to entry that have adversely affected our
sales to these markets.  Although some ADSL and cable modems are sold at retail,
in most countries the high volume  purchases of these modems are concentrated in
a relatively few large cable, telecommunications, and Internet service providers
which  offer  broadband  modem  services  to their  customers.  These  customers
typically  also have  extensive and varied  approval  processes for modems to be
approved for use on their  network.  These  approvals  can be expensive and time
consuming.   Successfully  penetrating  the  broadband  modem  market  therefore
presents a number of challenges including:

o    the current limited retail market for broadband modems;
o    the  relatively  small  number of cable,  telecommunications  and  Internet
     service  provider  customers that make up a substantial  part of the market
     for broadband modems in most countries;
o    the significant bargaining power of these large volume purchasers;
o    the time consuming, expensive, uncertain and varied approval process of the
     various cable service providers; and
o    the strong  relationships  with service providers enjoyed by incumbent some
     equipment providers.

     Our sales of  broadband  products  have been  adversely  affected by all of
these factors. Sales of our broadband products in Turkey, the United States, the
United Kingdom and other European  countries have fluctuated and may continue to
fluctuate due to approvals and delays in the deployment by service  providers of
cable and ADSL service in these countries. We cannot assure that we will be able
to successfully maintain or grow our sales in these markets.

OUR  INTERNATIONAL  OPERATIONS  ARE  SUBJECT  TO A NUMBER OF RISKS  INHERENT  IN
INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES.

     Our international  sales continue to represent an increasingly  significant
portion of our sales.  International  sales have increased from 38% of net sales
in 2001 to  approximately  54% of our net  sales in the third  quarter  of 2004.
Currently  our  operations  are  significantly  dependent  on our  international
operations,  and may be  materially  and  adversely  affected  by  many  factors
including:

o    international   regulatory  and  communications   requirements  and  policy
     changes;
o    political and economic changes and disruptions;
o    pricing of Internet and voice services;
o    bundling of discounted or free equipment with services;
o    favoritism toward local suppliers;
o    delays in the  rollout  of  broadband  services  by cable and ADSL  service
     providers;
o    local language and technical support requirements;
o    difficulties in inventory  management,  accounts receivable  collection and
     the management of distributors or representatives;
o    difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;
o    governmental currency controls;
o    shipping costs;
o    currency exchange rate fluctuations; and
o    tariff regulations.

     We anticipate that our  international  sales will continue to account for a
significant  percentage  of our net sales and, in  particular,  our net sales of
ADSL products.  If foreign markets for our current and future  products  develop
more  slowly  than  currently  expected,  our sales and our  future  results  of
operations may be harmed.

OUR  EXISTING  INDEBTEDNESS  COULD  MAKE  IT  MORE  DIFFICULT  FOR US TO  OBTAIN
ADDITIONAL FINANCING, WHICH COULD HARM OUR LIQUIDITY.

     In January 2001 we obtained a 5 year, $6 million,  20 year direct reduction
mortgage from a bank, secured by our owned real estate in Boston, Massachusetts.
As of September 30, 2004, our outstanding  indebtedness  was $5.2 million.  This
mortgage  has a balloon  payment  due in  January  2006.  This real  estate  was
appraised on July 24, 2002 at $9.3 million, and generally the real estate market
in Boston has remained  relatively  flat.  Our  outstanding  indebtedness  could
adversely affect our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital,
acquisitions,  or other purposes.  Our existing  indebtedness could also make us
more vulnerable to economic  downturns and competitive  pressures,  make it more
difficult  to  obtain  additional  debt  financing,  and  adversely  affect  our
liquidity.  In the event of a cash shortfall, we could be forced to reduce other
expenditures to meet our requirements  with respect to our outstanding debt. Our
ability to meet our obligations  will be dependent upon our future  performance,
which will be subject to  financial,  business and other  factors  affecting our
operations.  Many of these  factors are beyond our control.  If we are unable to
generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to service our debt,
we may be required to refinance all or a portion of these  obligations or obtain
additional financing in order to stay in business.

OUR  FAILURE  TO MEET  CHANGING  CUSTOMER  REQUIREMENTS  AND  EMERGING  INDUSTRY
STANDARDS WOULD ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO SELL OUR PRODUCTS.

     The market for  communications  products and  high-speed  broadband  access
products is characterized by aggressive pricing practices,  continually changing
customer  demand  patterns,  rapid  technological  advances,  emerging  industry
standards  and  short  product  life  cycles.  In the past  some of our  product
developments  and  enhancements  have taken longer than planned and have delayed
the  availability  of our  products,  which  adversely  affected  our  sales and
profitability  in the past. Any  significant  delays in the future may adversely
impact our  ability to sell our  products,  and our  results of  operations  and
financial condition may be adversely affected. Our future success will depend in
large part upon our ability to:

o    identify and respond to emerging technological trends in the market;
o    develop and  maintain  competitive  products  that meet  changing  customer
     demands;
o    enhance our products by adding innovative  features that  differentiate our
     products from those of our competitors;
o    bring products to market on a timely basis;
o    introduce products that have competitive prices;
o    manage  our  product   transitions,   inventory  levels  and  manufacturing
     processes efficiently; and
o    respond   effectively   to  new   technological   changes  or  new  product
     announcements by others.

     Our  product  cycles  tend  to be  short,  and  we  may  incur  significant
non-recoverable  expenses or devote  significant  resources to sales that do not
occur  when   anticipated.   Therefore   the  resources  we  devote  to  product
development, sales, and marketing may not generate material net sales for us. In
addition,  short product cycles have resulted in and may in the future result in
excess  and  obsolete  inventory,  which has had and may in the  future  have an
adverse affect on our results of operations.  In an effort to develop innovative
products  and  technology,  we  have  incurred  and  may  in  the  future  incur
substantial development, sales, marketing, and inventory costs. If we are unable
to recover these costs, our financial  condition and operating  results could be
adversely  affected.  In addition,  if we sell our products at reduced prices in
anticipation  of cost  reductions  and we still have  higher  cost  products  in
inventory,  our  business  would be harmed  and our  results of  operations  and
financial condition would be adversely affected.

OUR OPERATING  RESULTS HAVE BEEN ADVERSELY  AFFECTED BECAUSE OF PRICE PROTECTION
PROGRAMS.

     Our operating results have been adversely affected by reductions in average
selling  prices because of credits given to some of our customers as a result of
contractual price protection guarantees.  Specifically, when we reduce the price
for a product,  the customer  receives a credit for the  difference  between the
customer's most recent purchase price and our reduced price for the product, for
all unsold product at the time of the price  reduction.  In the third quarter of
2004,  we  gave  a $.3  million  price  protection  credit  in the UK due to the
lowering of selling prices in some channels. If the amount of credits we give to
our customers  increases by a material  amount,  our operating  results could be
adversely affected.

WE  MAY  BE  SUBJECT  TO  PRODUCT  RETURNS  RESULTING  FROM  DEFECTS,   OR  FROM
OVERSTOCKING  OF OUR  PRODUCTS.  PRODUCT  RETURNS COULD RESULT IN THE FAILURE TO
ATTAIN MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF OUR PRODUCTS, WHICH WOULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.

     If our products contain undetected defects,  errors, or failures,  we could
face:

o    delays in the development of our products;
o    numerous product returns; and
o    other losses to us or to our customers or end users.

     Any of  these  occurrences  could  also  result  in the loss of or delay in
market  acceptance of our  products,  either of which would reduce our sales and
harm our business.  We are also exposed to the risk of product  returns from our
customers as a result of contractual stock rotation  privileges and our practice
of assisting some of our customers in balancing their inventories.  Overstocking
has in the past led and may in the future lead to higher than normal returns.

OUR FAILURE TO  EFFECTIVELY  MANAGE OUR INVENTORY  LEVELS COULD  MATERIALLY  AND
ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR LIQUIDITY AND HARM OUR BUSINESS.

     In the past, we built up our inventory for our broadband access products in
response to shortages of components for these products at the time. We have also
had  difficulty  in  generating  significant  orders  for some of our  products,
particularly  broadband products,  and as a result, we experienced a significant
increase in our  inventory.  Although we have been able to reduce our  inventory
levels of  broadband  products  as a result of sales,  raw  material  returns to
suppliers,  and the write-down of value of some of our inventory, our failure to
effectively  manage  our  inventory  may  adversely  affect  our  liquidity  and
increases the risk of inventory  obsolescence,  a decline in market value of the
inventory, or losses from theft, fire, or other casualty.

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO PRODUCE  SUFFICIENT  QUANTITIES  OF OUR PRODUCTS  BECAUSE WE
DEPEND ON THIRD PARTY MANUFACTURERS.  IF THESE THIRD PARTY MANUFACTURERS FAIL TO
PRODUCE QUALITY PRODUCTS IN A TIMELY MANNER, OUR ABILITY TO FULFILL OUR CUSTOMER
ORDERS WOULD BE ADVERSELY IMPACTED.

     We use contract  manufacturers  to manufacture  our products.  We use these
third party  manufacturers  to help ensure low costs,  rapid market  entry,  and
reliability.  Any  manufacturing  disruption could impair our ability to fulfill
orders, and failure to fulfill orders would adversely affect our sales. Although
we currently use four contract  manufacturers for the bulk of our purchases,  in
some cases a given product is only provided by one of these companies.  The loss
of the  services  of  any of our  significant  third  party  manufacturers  or a
material  adverse  change in the  business of or our  relationships  with any of
these manufacturers could harm our business. Since third parties manufacture our
products and we expect this to continue in the future,  our success will depend,
in part,  on the  ability of third  parties to  manufacture  our  products  cost
effectively and in sufficient quantities to meet our customer demand.

     We are  subject to the  following  risks  because of our  reliance on third
party manufacturers:

o    reduced management and control of component purchases;
o    reduced control over delivery schedules;
o    reduced control over quality assurance;
o    reduced control over manufacturing yields;
o    limited warranties on products supplied to us;
o    potential increases in prices;
o    interruption  of supplies from  assemblers  as a result of a fire,  natural
     calamity, strike or other significant event; and
o    misappropriation of our intellectual property.

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO PRODUCE  SUFFICIENT  QUANTITIES  OF OUR PRODUCTS  BECAUSE WE
OBTAIN KEY COMPONENTS FROM, AND DEPEND ON, SOLE OR LIMITED-SOURCE SUPPLIERS.

     We obtain certain key parts, components, and equipment from sole or limited
sources of supply. For example, we purchase dial-up and broadband modem chipsets
from  Conexant  Systems and Agere  Systems.  Integrated  circuit  product  areas
covered by one or both companies  include  dial-up  modems,  ADSL modems,  cable
modems,  networking,  routers,  and gateways.  In the past, we have  experienced
delays in receiving  shipments of modem chipsets from our sole source suppliers.
We may experience  similar delays in the future. In addition,  some products may
have other  components  that are available from only one source.  The market for
some  components,   including  memory  components,   has  recently   experienced
shortages, increased lead times, and higher prices. If we are unable to obtain a
sufficient  supply of components from our current  sources,  we could experience
difficulties in obtaining  alternative sources or in altering product designs to
use alternative components.  Resulting delays or reductions in product shipments
could damage  relationships with our customers and our customers could decide to
purchase products from our competitors.  Inability to meet our customers' demand
or a decision  by one or more of our  customers  to purchase  products  from our
competitors could harm our operating results.

OUR FAILURE TO OBTAIN NEW CHIPSET PURCHASE PROGRAMS WITH CHIPSET SUPPLIERS COULD
REDUCE OUR GROSS PROFIT.

     Our primary dial-up modem chipset purchase agreement,  which includes price
and other concessions for meeting minimum purchase  requirements or commitments,
is expected to expire in 2004. If we are unable to replace this  agreement  with
an equally  favorable  chipset  purchase  agreement,  our  chipset  costs  could
increase significantly and our gross profit could be adversely  affected.

THE  MARKET  FOR  HIGH-SPEED  COMMUNICATIONS  PRODUCTS  AND  SERVICES  HAS  MANY
COMPETING  TECHNOLOGIES  AND,  AS A RESULT,  THE  DEMAND  FOR OUR  PRODUCTS  AND
SERVICES IS UNCERTAIN.

     The market for high-speed communications products and services has a number
of competing technologies. For instance, Internet access can be achieved by:

o    using a standard telephone line and appropriate service for dial-up modems,
     ISDN modems, or ADSL modems, possibly in combination;
o    using a cable modem with a cable TV line and cable modem service;
o    using a router and some type of modem to service the computers connected to
     a local area network; or
o    other approaches, including wireless links to the Internet.

     Although  we   currently   sell   products   that  include  many  of  these
technologies,  the market for high-speed  communication products and services is
fragmented and evolving. The introduction of new products by competitors, market
acceptance  of  products  based  on  new  or  alternative  technologies,  or the
emergence of new industry  standards  could render and have in the past rendered
our products less competitive or obsolete.  If any of these events occur, we may
be unable to sustain or grow our business.  Industry  analysts  believe that the
market for our  dial-up  modems will  continue  to decline.  If we are unable to
increase  demand  for and  sales of our  broadband  modems,  we may be unable to
sustain or grow our business.

WE FACE SIGNIFICANT COMPETITION,  WHICH COULD RESULT IN DECREASED DEMAND FOR OUR
PRODUCTS OR SERVICES.

     We may be unable  to  compete  successfully.  A number  of  companies  have
developed,  or are  expected to develop,  products  that compete or will compete
with our products.  Furthermore,  many of our current and potential  competitors
have  significantly  greater  resources than we do. Intense  competition,  rapid
technological  change  and  evolving  industry  standards  could  result in less
favorable  selling terms to our customers,  decrease  demand for our products or
make our products obsolete.

CHANGES IN CURRENT OR FUTURE LAWS OR  GOVERNMENTAL  REGULATIONS  THAT NEGATIVELY
IMPACT OUR PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGIES COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.

     The  jurisdiction  of the Federal  Communications  Commission,  or the FCC,
extends to the entire United States  communications  industry including our U.S.
customers and their  products and services that  incorporate  our products.  Our
products  are  also  required  to meet  the  regulatory  requirements  of  other
countries throughout the world where our products are sold. Obtaining government
regulatory  approvals is  time-consuming  and very costly.  In the past, we have
encountered  delays  in  the  introduction  of  our  products,  as a  result  of
government  certifications and other certifications.  We may face further delays
if  we  are  unable  to  comply   with   governmental   regulations   and  other
certifications.  Delays  caused by the time it takes to comply  with  regulatory
requirements   and  other   certifications   may  result  in   cancellations  or
postponements of product orders or purchases by our customers,  which would harm
our business

FLUCTUATIONS  IN THE  FOREIGN  CURRENCY  EXCHANGE  RATES IN RELATION TO THE U.S.
DOLLAR COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR OPERATING RESULTS.

     Changes in currency  exchange rates that increase the relative value of the
U.S.  dollar  may  make  it  more  difficult  for  us to  compete  with  foreign
manufacturers  on price, or may otherwise have a material  adverse effect on our
sales and  operating  results.  A significant  increase in our foreign  currency
denominated  sales would  increase our risk  associated  with  foreign  currency
fluctuations.

OUR FUTURE  SUCCESS  WILL  DEPEND ON THE  CONTINUED  SERVICES  OF OUR  EXECUTIVE
OFFICERS AND KEY RESEARCH AND  DEVELOPMENT  PERSONNEL WITH EXPERTISE IN HARDWARE
AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT.

     The loss of any of our executive  officers or key research and  development
personnel,  the inability to attract or retain qualified personnel in the future
or delays in hiring skilled  personnel could harm our business.  Competition for
skilled personnel is significant. We may be unable to attract and retain all the
personnel necessary for the development of our business.  In addition,  the loss
of Frank B. Manning, our president and chief executive officer, or Peter Kramer,
our executive vice  president,  some other member of the management  team, a key
engineer,  or  other  key  contributors,  could  harm  our  relations  with  our
customers, our ability to respond to technological change, and our business.

OUR BUSINESS MAY BE HARMED BY ACQUISITIONS WE MAY COMPLETE IN THE FUTURE.

     We may pursue  acquisitions of related  businesses,  technologies,  product
lines,  or  products.  Our  identification  of suitable  acquisition  candidates
involves risk inherent in assessing the values, strengths, weaknesses, risks and
profitability of acquisition  candidates,  including the effects of the possible
acquisition on our business,  diversion of our management's  attention,  risk of
increased  leverage,  shareholder  dilution,  risk associated with unanticipated
problems, and risks associated with liabilities we assume. If we pursue any such
transaction,  we cannot assure that we would be able to  successfully  negotiate
the terms of such  transaction,  finance such  transaction,  or  integrate  such
business, products or technologies into our existing business and products.

WE MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY PROTECTING OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

     Our  ability to compete is heavily  affected  by our ability to protect our
intellectual  property. We rely primarily on trade secret laws,  confidentiality
procedures,  patents,  copyrights,  trademarks,  and licensing  arrangements  to
protect our intellectual  property.  The steps we take to protect our technology
may be  inadequate.  Existing  trade secret,  trademark and copyright laws offer
only limited  protection.  Our patents could be invalidated or circumvented.  We
have more  intellectual  property assets in some countries than we do in others.
In addition, the laws of some foreign countries in which our products are or may
be developed,  manufactured or sold may not protect our products or intellectual
property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. This may
make the  possibility of piracy of our  technology and products more likely.  We
cannot  assure  that the steps that we have taken to  protect  our  intellectual
property will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology.

WE COULD INFRINGE THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF OTHERS.

     Particular  aspects of our  technology  could be found to  infringe  on the
intellectual  property rights or patents of others.  Other companies may hold or
obtain  patents on  inventions  or may  otherwise  claim  proprietary  rights to
technology  necessary to our business.  We cannot predict the extent to which we
may be  required  to seek  licenses.  We  cannot  assure  that the  terms of any
licenses we may be required to seek will be reasonable. We are often indemnified
by our suppliers  relative to certain  intellectual  property rights;  but these
indemnifications do not cover all possible suits, and there is no guarantee that
a relevant indemnification will be honored by the indemnifying company.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     We own financial  instruments that are sensitive to market risks as part of
our  investment  portfolio.  The  investment  portfolio  is used to preserve our
capital  until it is required to fund  operations,  including  our  research and
development activities. None of these market-risk sensitive instruments are held
for trading  purposes.  We do not own  derivative  financial  instruments in our
investment  portfolio.  The investment  portfolio contains  instruments that are
subject to the risk of a decline in interest rates.

     Investment Rate Risk - Our investment  portfolio consists entirely of money
market funds, which are subject to interest rate risk. Due to the short duration
and conservative  nature of these  instruments,  we do not believe that it has a
material   exposure  to  interest  rate  risk.  The  20  year  mortgage  of  our
headquarters  building is a variable  rate loan with the interest  rate adjusted
annually.  A 1% change in the  interest  rate  would  result  in a  decrease  or
increase of approximately $53,000 of interest expense per year.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     We maintain  disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports
is  recorded,  processed,  summarized  and  reported  within  the  time  periods
specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated
and  communicated to our management,  including our Chief Executive  Officer and
Chief Financial  Officer,  as appropriate,  to allow timely decisions  regarding
required  disclosure.  In designing and evaluating  the disclosure  controls and
procedures,  management  recognized that any controls and procedures,  no matter
how well  designed  and  operated,  can provide  only  reasonable  assurance  of
achieving  the  desired  control  objectives,  as ours are  designed  to do, and
management  necessarily  was  required to apply its judgment in  evaluating  the
cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

     As  of  September  30,  2004  we  carried  out  an  evaluation,  under  the
supervision and with the  participation  of our management,  including our Chief
Executive  Officer and Chief  Financial  Officer,  of the  effectiveness  of the
design and operation of our disclosure  controls and  procedures,  as defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934.  Based
upon that evaluation,  our Chief Executive  Officer and Chief Financial  Officer
concluded that our disclosure  controls and procedures are effective in enabling
us to record, process,  summarize and report information required to be included
in our periodic SEC filings within the required time period.

     There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting
that  occurred  during the period  covered by this report  that have  materially
affected,  or are reasonably likely to materially  affect,  our internal control
over financial reporting.
