News Release 11 September, 1995

CONTRACT SIGNED/STRATEGIC ASSOCIATION DEVELOPMENTS

Microkey Communication Systems, Inc., (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has concluded a $64,000 contract for computerizing the sheet music inventory and business functions for the New York City based C.F. Peters Corporation, one of the world leaders in the distribution of classical sheet music. The system is designed for future capabilities to allow customers to search for, view and order sheet music over the Internet's World Wide Web (the "web"). The Company has obtained the right to use this application to remotely demonstrate the entire flow of Internet business transactions. The Company expects that this agreement will enable it to demonstrate comprehensive ISDN/Internet solutions within an actual business setting.

Pursuant to the Strategic Association Agreement of May 25, 1995 with 3Com Corporation, Santa Clara, CA, a world leader in computer adapter hardware, the companies are considering the co-marketing of complete ISDN solutions that include Microkey software and 3Com ISDN Access hardware. Microkey is developing an initial, Microsoft Windows-based software package to facilitate Web data access and retrieval (known as a "Web browser"), to send and receive a FAX by computer, and to provide high speed data transfer through the PC serial port to an external 3Com ISDN adapter box. 3Com will be offered the right to bundle this Microkey software with every ISDN adapter box for a per box royalty to Microkey with an exclusive bundling right for one year. The companies are also working together to coordinate future hardware and software developments to implement a sequence of other features, including advanced voice telephony.

Microkey believes that within the next two years, a large market will develop for packaged, ISDN-based telecom systems that integrate advanced data and advanced voice telephony features under a consistent Windows interface. The Company plans to offer such systems within this time frame.
