| KVH Announces 2Q 2000 Financial Results 
 MIDDLETOWN, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 20,
 2000--KVH Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:KVHI) today
 announced financial results for the second quarter ending
 June 30, 2000. Revenues for the second quarter of 2000
 increased 22 percent to $8.0 million from $6.5 million in the
 comparable 1999 quarter. The increase was due to growth in
 mobile satellite communications and fiber optic sales.
 
 A net loss of $170,000 or $0.02 a share for the second
 quarter compares to a loss of $310,000 or $0.04 a share in
 the 1999 quarter. An increase in the six-month loss to $1.0
 million or $0.14 a share in 2000 from $0.45 million or $0.06 a
 share in 1999 was due to declines of military sales during the
 2000 first quarter.
 
 "Second-quarter increases of 47 percent in communications
 sales and 300 percent in fiber optic sales more than offset a
 decline in military revenues from the 1999 period," said
 Martin Kits van Heyningen, president and chief executive
 officer. "These growth trends are very encouraging and are
 expected to continue."
 
 KVH Industries utilizes its proprietary fiber optic and sensor
 technologies to produce navigation and mobile satellite
 communications systems for commercial, military, marine
 and land mobile applications. The company has
 headquarters in Middletown, RI, (USA) with offices in Illinois,
 Florida and Denmark.
 
 This press release may contain certain forward looking
 statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The actual
 results realized by the Company could differ materially from
 the statements made herein. Factors that might cause such
 differences include, but are not limited to: volatility and
 uncertainties in communications, defense and fiber optics,
 the primary three industries targeted by the Company; failure
 to develop and market fiber optic products; lack of reliable
 vendors, service providers and outside products; continued
 slow military sales cycles; unforeseen changes in competing
 technologies and products; worldwide economic variances;
 poor or delayed research and development results; and
 disparities between forecast and realized sales. Additional
 factors are discussed in the company's Annual Report on
 Form 10K filed with the Securities and Exchange
 Commission on March 27, 2000. Copies are available from
 the company's Corporate Communications Department.
