                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1997
                                   (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 Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31,
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 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

NET LOSS PER SHARE

     Net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding for the period. Common
equivalent shares which include options and warrants using the treasury stock
method have been excluded as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

     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 $39,630 for the
three months ended March 31, 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).



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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     REVENUES

     Total revenues increased 47.7% from $1,034,293 for the three month period
ended March 31, 1996 to $1,527,635 for the comparable period ended March 31,
1997 due primarily to increased system sales by the Company's direct sales
force.

     COST OF REVENUES

     Cost of revenues increased 46.8% from $468,725 for the three month period
ended March 31, 1996 to $688,306 for the three month period ended March 31,
1997. The increase was due primarily to labor and materials related to the
higher sales levels.

     GROSS PROFIT

     Gross profit increased 48.4% to $839,329 for the three month period ended
March 31, 1997. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue increased slightly
from 54.7% for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 to 54.9% for the
three month period ended March 31, 1997 due primarily to an increase in sales of
higher margin configurable software.

     SALES, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

     Sales, general and administrative expenses increased 25.9% to $1,300,328
for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 from $1,032,490 for the three
month period ended March 31, 1996. The increase is due primarily to higher
marketing expenditures, increased expenses related to the buildup of the
domestic sales force and sales management. Sales, general and administrative
expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 1996, includes $246,750 of
noncash expense associated with the granting of 70,500 shares of common stock to
the Company's president and outside board of directors.

     RESEARCH AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

     Research and product development expenses increased 435.2% from $82,848 for
the three month period ended March 31, 1996 to $443,401 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1997. The increase is due to the Company's continuing
focus on developing configurable software packages.

     INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE)

     The Company recorded net interest income of $46,975 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1997 versus net interest expense of $27,442 for the
comparable period in 1996. The interest income resulted from investment of the
cash proceeds from the public offering completed in the second quarter of 1996.

     INCOME TAXES

     The Company did not record a tax benefit for the three month periods ended
March 31, 1997 and 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
$3,272,567 as of March 31, 1997 resulting from the public offering completed in
the second quarter of 1996. The Company believes that its current cash resources
combined with projected operating cash flow will be sufficient to fund its
operations and capital expenditures through 1997.
