As of this date, Communications Research, Inc. has been awarded five projects for engineering and technical services under this program. Recently, Communications Research, Inc., formerly a subsidiary of Visual Telephone International (OTC Bulletin Board: VTPI), was spun off into a separate, soon to be publicly traded company when International Voice Technology merged into Visual Telephone International, forming IVoice.com, and changing their stock trading symbol to (OTC Buletin Board: IVOC). As part of the spin-off, CRI retained the rights to the videoconferencing products it supplied to VTPI, including the Visual EZ and Visual EZ-II product lines. As a result of this action, Communications Research, Inc. shall continue to do business at their present location in South Hackensack, NJ.

Mr. Carl Ceragno continued as President of CRI and also functioned as CEO of Visual Telophone International, a position he resigned as a result of the spin-off. Currently, the company operates with two divisions, Systems Integration and Visual Telephone Products.

While playing a lesser role, the Visual Telephone Products Division will continue to develop, market and support the customer base of Visual Telephone product users. The Visual Products, originally known as the CRI Quick Video Communicator series, was rolled into Visual with manufacturing and continuing development under CRI. The company is working to complete SEC filing and registration, and anticipates distrbutlon of its stock to former Visual Telephone International stockholders as of May 21, 1999, within the next 60 days, with commencement of public trading shortly thereafter.
