                          SPANLINK COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 March 31, 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
March 31 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 - NOTES PAYABLE

NOTES PAYABLE - CONVERTIBLE
         On February 28, 1996, the Company closed on a $400,000 bridge financing
of convertible promissory notes (the "Bridge Notes") in a private placement,
resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $350,000 after underwriter's
commission and offering expenses of $50,000. These costs are amortized over the
stated term of the notes. The Bridge Notes provide for interest at 10% per annum
and converted into shares of the Company's common stock May 2, 1996, upon the
closing of the Company's initial public offering (the "IPO") (Note 5). The
conversion price was $3.20 per share.

         In connection with this financing, the Company also issued warrants to
the holders of the Bridge Notes to purchase a total of 80,000 shares of common
stock. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of
issuance at $3.60 per share. The fair value of the warrants was determined to be
$64,000 and was credited to common stock, resulting in the recognition of a
similar amount as original issue discount which will be expensed over the
outstanding period of the Bridge Notes.

NOTE PAYABLE - BANK
         On February 14, 1995, the Company obtained a line of credit with a bank
which provides for borrowing up to the lesser of $600,000 or 75% of eligible
accounts receivable at the bank's reference rate plus 5%. Borrowings under the
line of credit are secured by virtually all assets of the Company and personally
guaranteed by the Company's three founding shareholders. During 1995 and 1996,
the Company was not in compliance with a minimum net worth covenant with the
bank. On February 29, 1996, the Company terminated its bank line of credit,
repaid the outstanding advances in full and obtained a release of all related
liens.

NOTE 4 - SHAREHOLDERS' DEFICIT

RECAPITALIZATION
         On February 9, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors and shareholders
increased the number of authorized shares from 1,000,000 shares of common stock,
no par value, to 25,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value, and authorized
5,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock. The Company also approved a
900-for-1 stock split of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company.
All share and per share data included in the the financial statements and
related notes have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to such
authorization and split.

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 into 125,000
shares of common stock that occurred in connection with the IPO; and (iii) the
decrease of net loss by $39,630 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.


NOTE 5 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

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 $6,540,000. The offering will be
reflected in the financial statements for the quarter ending June 30, 1996.

                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                                                               ======   ====== 



         REVENUES

         Total revenues decreased 3.1% from $1,067,194 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1995 to $1,034,293 for the three month period ended March
31, 1996. The decrease was due primarily to a 42.1% decrease in custom software
revenues, which was offset partially by a 28.1% increase in configurable
software package revenues and a 29.4% increase in services revenues. The Company
expects that configurable software revenues and services revenues will continue
to grow and custom software revenues to decrease as a percentage of total
revenues, although not necessarily at the same percentage changes as reflected
during the first quarter.

         COST OF REVENUES

         Cost of revenues increased 21.6% from $385,529 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1995 to $468,725 for the three month period ended March
31, 1996. The increase was due primarily to the hiring and training of
additional engineering personnel.


         GROSS PROFIT

         Gross profit decreased 17.0% from $681,665 for the three month period
ended March 31, 1995 to $565,568 for the three month period ended March 31,
1996. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 63.9% for
the three month period ended March 31, 1995 to 54.7% for the three month period
ended March 31, 1996. The decrease is due primarily to the hiring and training
of additional engineering personnel.

         SALES, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

         Sales, general and administrative expenses increased 79.6% from
$574,882 for the three month period ended March 31, 1995 to $1,032,490 for the
three month period ended March 31, 1996. 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. The Company expects sales, general and administrative costs
to be higher in 1996 than in 1995 due to the expected growth of the Company.

         RESEARCH AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

         Research and product development expenses increased 57.4% from $52,623
for the three month period ended March 31, 1995 to $82,848 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1996. The increase is due to the Company's focus on
developing configurable software packages. The Company expects research and
product development expenses to continue to increase for the foreseeable future.

         INTEREST EXPENSE

         Interest expense increased 414.6% from $5,333 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1995 to $27,442 for the three month period ended March
31, 1996. The increase is due to interest 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
37.5% before the impact of the S corporation to C corporation change, which gave
rise to a net income tax benefit of $54,741 for the three month period ended
March 31, 1995. The Company did not record a tax benefit for the three month
period ended March 31, 1996 as the likelihood of realization of the benefit is
presently not likely.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's working capital deficit was $741,812 at March 31, 1996.
Current liabilities include $662,105 of customer deposits and deferred
maintenance revenue which will be recognized as revenues in future periods.

         The Company's net loss of $577,212 for the three month period ended
March 31, 1996 included $246,750 of noncash expenses for the issuance of stock
grants to the Company's president and outside board of directors.

         The Company's capital expenditures were $93,841 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1996 and were $22,989 for the three month period ended
March 31, 1995. The Company expects its capital expenditures will continue to
increase in the next several quarters as the Company adds more personnel and
upgrades its management and information systems.

         On February 28, 1996, the Company netted approximately $350,000 of
proceeds from the issuance of $400,000 of convertible notes payable and warrants
in a private placement, after underwriter's commission and offering expenses.
The Company used part of the proceeds to repay the outstanding advances on its
bank line of credit and terminate the loan agreement.

         On April 29, 1996 the Company's initial public offering became
effective, resulting in approximately $6,540,000 of net proceeds. The offering
closed on May 2, 1996, and will be reflected in the Company's Form 10-QSB for
the period ending June 30, 1996. The Company believes that the net proceeds from
the initial public offering will be sufficient to fund its operations and
capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

         shareholders. The shareholders and board of directors of the Company
         adopted several resolutions by joint minutes of written action to

         1996 through March 31, 1996 include the following:

                  Effective February 9, 1996 the shareholders of the Company
                  unanimously adopted minutes of written action to adopt the
                  1996 Omnibus Stock Plan.

                  Effective February 9, 1996 the shareholders of the Company
                  unanimously adopted minutes of written action to amend and
                  restate the articles of incorporation of the Company to (i)
                  increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock to
                  25,000,000, (ii) create an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of

                  directors into three classes to provide for staggered three
                  year terms.

                  At the annual meeting of the shareholders of the Company on
                  February 28, 1996, Thomas F. Madison, Joseph D. Mooney, and
                  Bruce E. Humphrey were elected unanimously to serve as members
                  of the board of directors of the Company. The terms of office
                  of Brett A. Shockley, Patrick P. Irestone, and Loren A.
