                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
                                   (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1- CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The unaudited condensed financial information contained in this report
reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered
necessary, in the opinion of management, for a fair presentation of results of
the interim periods presented of Spanlink Communications, Inc. (the "Company").

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the most recent audited financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's SB-2 registration statement file no. 333-2022-C, dated
April 29, 1996. The results of operations of the periods ended September 30 are
not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year.

NOTE 2 - USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of condensed interim financial statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

NOTE 3 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT)

SUPPLEMENTARY LOSS PER SHARE DATA
     Supplementary loss per share data reflects certain adjustments for: (i) the
issuance of 71,420 shares of common stock in connection with the repayment of a
note payable from certain net proceeds received from the Company's IPO that
closed on May 2, 1996; (ii) the conversion of the Bridge Notes originally issued
on February 28, 1996 into 125,000 shares of common stock that occurred in
connection with the IPO; and (iii) the decrease of net loss by $75,655 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 for interest expense, amortization of the
Bridge Notes debt issuance costs, and amortization of original issue discount
related to the issuance of the Bridge Notes. These adjustments were made as
though these items had occurred on January 1, 1996 for (i) and February 28, 1996
for (ii).

     Common stock equivalents, consisting of shares of common stock which might
be issued upon exercise of stock options and warrants, are not included in
weighted average common shares outstanding in periods where losses are reported
since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. For purposes of the Company's
recent IPO, loss per common share was calculated pursuant to Securities and
Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No.83 ("SAB 83"). SAB 83 requires
the inclusion of certain common stock equivalents in the calculation of weighted
average common shares outstanding even if their inclusion is anti-dilutive.

INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

     The Company's initial public offering became effective on April 29, 1996.
The offering closed on May 2, 1996 with an issuance of 1,900,000 shares of
common stock and net proceeds of approximately $6,500,000. In addition, the
underwriter exercised in full its over-allotment option to purchase 285,000
shares of common stock , netting the Company an additional $1,037,000.



                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     REVENUE

     Total revenue increased 17.0% from $1,146,414 for the three month period
ended September 30, 1995 to $1,341,090 for the comparable period in 1996. The
increase was due primarily to a 19% increase in configurable software revenue
and 45% increase in service revenue. Revenue for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1996 increased 7.7% over the comparable period in 1995 due
primarily to a 33.6% increase in configurable software revenue and 31.1%
increase in service revenue offset by a 16.0% decrease in custom software and
hardware revenue.

     COST OF REVENUE

     Cost of revenue increased 31.4% from $386,274 for the three month period
ended September 30, 1995 to $507,452 for the three month period ended September
30, 1996. The increase was due primarily to labor and materials to support the
higher sales levels as well as a ramp up in operations expenses to support a
projected increase in sales. Cost of revenue increased 14.7% for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1996 versus the comparable period in 1995 due
primarily to the same reason as the three month period.

     GROSS PROFIT

     Gross profit increased 9.7% to $833,638 for the three month period ended
September 30, 1996. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue decreased from
66.3% for the three month period ended September 30, 1995 to 62.2% for the three
month period ended September 30, 1996. The decreased gross margin as a
percentage of total revenue was due primarily to a ramp up in operations
expenses to support a projected increase in sales. Gross profit as a percentage
of total revenue decreased to 59.4% for the nine month period ended September
30, 1996 from 61.9 % for the comparable period in 1995. The decrease was due
primarily to the hiring and training of additional personnel in operations.

     SALES, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

     Sales, general and administrative expenses increased 171.2% to $1,385,095
for the three month period ended September 30, 1996 from $510,633 for the three
month period ended September 30, 1995. The increase is due primarily to higher
marketing expenditures, increased expenses related to the buildup of the
domestic sales force and increased professional services expenses. Sales,
general and administrative expenses increased 128.2% for the nine month period
in 1996 to $3,531,912 from $1,547,742 for the same period in 1995. The increase
is due primarily to $246,750 of noncash expense associated with the granting of
67,500 and 3,000 shares of common stock to the Company's president and outside
board of directors, respectively, at $3.50 per share on February 28, 1996;
increased marketing expenditures; increased payroll costs for additional sales
and administrative personnel; increased sales expenses; and increased
professional services expenses.

     RESEARCH AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

     Research and product development expenses increased 472.4% from $54,889 for
the three month period ended September 30, 1995 to $314,190 for the three month
period ended September 30, 1996. The increase is due to the Company's continuing
focus on developing configurable software packages. Research and development
expenses increased 231.3% for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 to
$569,201 from $171,830 for the comparable period in 1995 due primarily to the
Company's focus on developing configurable software packages. The Company
expects research and product development expenses to continue to increase for
the next several quarters.

     INTEREST INCOME / EXPENSE

     The Company recorded net interest income of $78,665 for the three month
period ended September 30, 1996 versus net interest expense of $13,050 for the
comparable period in 1995. The interest income resulted from investment of the
cash proceeds from the public offering completed in the second quarter. Net
interest income for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 was $86,225
versus net interest expense of $31,013 for the comparable period in 1995.
Interest income from investment of the cash proceeds from the Company's public
offering more than offset interest expense on the convertible notes payable, the
amortization of the convertible notes payable's original issue discount charged
to interest expense and interest on a note payable to Arrow Electronics, Inc.,
entered in August 1995.

     INCOME TAXES

     Prior to January 1, 1995, the Company had elected S corporation status, and
as a result, the Company's earnings were taxed at the shareholder level rather
than the corporate level. On January 1, 1995, effective with becoming a C
corporation, a deferred tax asset of $77,412 was recognized representing the tax
effect of the basis differences of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting and income tax purposes. The Company's effective tax rate for 1995 was
42.6% before the impact of the S corporation to C corporation change. The
Company did not record a tax benefit for the three month period or nine month
period ended September 30, 1996 as the likelihood of realization of the benefit
is presently not likely.

      LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of
$5,386,237 as of September 30, 1996 resulting from the public offering completed
in the second quarter.

     On April 29, 1996 the Company's initial public offering became effective,
resulting in approximately $7,537,000 of net proceeds including over-allotment.
The offering closed on May 2, 1996, and the over-allotment approximately one
month later. The Company believes that the net proceeds from its initial public
offering combined with projected operating cash flow will be sufficient to fund
its operations and capital expenditures through 1997.
