ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS  

     In 1996, the Company formed Andrea Military Communications, LLC
("AMC"), a Delaware limited liability company, in which the Company has a
72.7% equity interest.  The purpose of AMC is to collaborate with Northrop
Grumman in accordance with the Company's agreement with Northrop Grumman
relating to the qualification for military sales and subsequent marketing
of headsets that incorporate Andrea Anti-Noise/(Registered Trademark)/
technology to military customers.  Among the members of AMC is a corporation
owned by Christopher Dorney, a director of the Company.  In exchange for this
corporation acting as a manager of AMC through Mr. Dorney, this corporation
was granted a 13.6% equity interest in AMC.  In addition, commencing upon the
award of a contract for the purchase of the headsets from Northrop Grumman to
AMC, this corporation will receive an annual base compensation of $125,000,
plus monetary or other compensation sufficient to provide insurance and other
benefits to Mr. Dorney equivalent to those of the officers of the Company,
plus an annual bonus in a range between 0% and 40% of the base compensation.
Also immediately upon the award of such purchase contract, this corporation
will be awarded warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of Andrea Common Stock at
an exercise price of $10.00 per share, which warrants will vest at an annual
rate of 20% beginning on the first anniversary of the date of the award.  No
assurance can be given that the headsets that are the subject of the agreement
with Northrop Grumman will be qualified for purchase by the military or that a
contract for the purchase of the headsets will by awarded by Northrop Grumman
to AMC.  In addition, Mr. Dorney received $60,000 in consulting fees related
to AMC during 1996.  See "PartI-Item 1-Business- Collaborative Arrangements-
Northrop Grumman Agreement".

     During 1996 the Company paid an aggregate of $105,850 to Digital
Technologies, Inc., a software development company of which Gary A. Jones,
a director of the Company, is the President.  Of this amount, $90,000 was for
software development fees and $15,850 was for reimbursable expenses.
