                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 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 June 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

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

     REVENUE

     Total revenue increased 8.3% from $1,045,417 for the three month period
ended June 30, 1996 to $1,131,832 for the comparable period in 1997. The
increase was due primarily to increased system sales by the Company's direct
sales force. Revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 increased
27.9% over the comparable period in 1996 due primarily to the same reason as the
current period.

     COST OF REVENUE

     Cost of revenue increased 45.8% from $412,906 for the three month period
ended June 30, 1996 to $602,140 for the three month period ended June 30, 1997.
The increase was due primarily to an increase in the hardware component of
system sales, as well as higher operations expenses to support the increase in
sales. Cost of revenue increased 46.4% for the six month period ended June 30,
1997 versus the comparable period in 1996 due primarily to the same reason as
the three month period.


     GROSS PROFIT

     Gross profit decreased 16.3% to $529,692 for the three month period ended
June 30, 1997. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue decreased from
60.5% for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 to 46.8% for the three
month period ended June 30, 1997. The decreased gross margin as a percentage of
total revenue was due primarily to a an increase in the lower margin hardware
component of system sales as well as a ramp up in operations expenses to support
higher sales levels. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue decreased to
51.5% for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 from 57.6% for the comparable
period in 1996. The decrease was due primarily to the same reason as the three
month period.

     SALES, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

     Sales, general and administrative expenses increased 22.9% to $1,369,235
for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 from $1,114,327 for the three
month period ended June 30, 1996. The increase is due primarily to increased
expenses related to the buildup of the domestic sales force as well as as well
as approximately $200,000 in non-recurring expenses related to severance and
other restructuring charges. Sales, general and administrative expenses
increased 24.3% for the six month period in 1997 to $2,669,563 from $2,146,817
for the same period in 1996 primarily for the same reason as the three month
period. Sales, general and administrative expenses for the three month period
ended March 31, 1996, includes $246,750 of noncash expense associated with the
<PAGE>


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 148.1% from $172,163
for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 to $427,059 for the three month
period ended June 30, 1997. The increase is due to the Company's continuing
focus on developing configurable software packages. Research and development
expenses increased 241.3% for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 to
$870,460 from $255,011 for the comparable period in 1996 due primarily to the
Company's focus on developing configurable software packages.

     INTEREST INCOME / EXPENSE

     The Company recorded net interest income of $22,118 for the three month
period ended June 30, 1997 versus net interest income of $35,002 for the
comparable period in 1996. Net interest income for the six month period ended
June 30, 1997 was $69,093 versus net interest income of $7,560 for the
comparable period in 1996.

INCOME TAXES

     The Company did not record a tax benefit for the three month and six month
periods ended June 30, 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
$1,566,243 as of June 30, 1997 resulting from the remaining net proceeds of its
public offering completed in the second quarter of 1996. The Company took action
to reduce its operating expenses in June in excess of 20% for the balance of the
year and believes that its current cash resources combined with projected
operating cash flow will be sufficient to fund its operations and capital
expenditures through 1997.
