receive this recognition in the first year that it was eligible for
consideration," said Artisoft President and CEO William C. Keiper.
"Artisoft's inclusion in this group of fastest-growing companies is
directly related to the acceptance of our networking products on a
worldwide basis."

The company's 72% annual growth rate over the past three years earned the
85th position on the list. Artisoft also ranked number 58 out of 100 for
its period of April 1993 through March 1994. For fiscal year 1994 ended
June 30, Artisoft announced on Aug. 4 net sales of $107.4 million.

In the net income category, the company earned the 46th ranking with a 49%
per share annual growth rate, and the number 40 spot for net income of
$11.7 million in the period of April 1993 through March 1994. The
company's net income for fiscal year 1994 was announced last week at $13.6
million. Artisoft was one of the businesses on the list which had posted
12 quarters of positive earnings.

Under the stock category, Artisoft showed a 145% increase in its stock
price from July 5, 1993 to one year later. The company was ranked 49th for
the market value of its stock at $202 million.
These results are no indication of future performance.
