                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 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 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

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

     Revenue increased 32.9% to $1,782,940 for the three month period ended
September 30, 1997 compared to $1,341,090 for the comparable period in 1996. The
increase resulted from higher revenue levels of hardware, packaged software and
OEM royalties from packaged software sales, partially offset by lower revenue
from custom software. Revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997
increased 30.0% over the comparable period in 1996. Increases in hardware and
packaged software sales accounted for the higher revenue for the nine months.

     COST OF REVENUE

     Cost of revenue was 37.3% of revenue for the three months ended September
30, 1997 a slight improvement from 37.8% for the same period in 1996. Cost of
revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased to 44.0% of
revenue compared to 40.6% for the same period last year. Increased lower margin
hardware components accounted for the change.


     GROSS PROFIT

     Gross Profit increased 34.1% for the three months ended September 30, 1997
when compared to the same period in 1996, primarily a result of the higher
revenue levels. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
increase 22.4% compared to the same period last year. The improvement primarily
results from the higher revenue levels achieved in 1997.

     SALES, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

     Sales, general and administrative expenses decreased 28.0% in the third
quarter ended September 30, 1997 resulting primarily from cost reduction efforts
implemented in the marketing, general and administrative areas by the company
earlier this year. Sales, general and administrative expenses for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, increased 3.8% when compared to the same period
in 1996. The increase was partially accounted for by approximately $200,000 in
non-recurring expenses related to severance and other restructuring changes in
the second quarter of 1997.

<PAGE>


     RESEARCH AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

     Research and product development expenses increased 3.3% from $314,190 for
the three month period ended September 30, 1996 to $324,595 for the three month
period ended September 30, 1997. The increase is due primarily to increased
payroll costs. Research and development expenses increased 110.0% for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1997 to $1,195,055 from $569,201 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 $8,549 for the three month
period ended September 30, 1997 versus net interest income of $78,665 for the
comparable period in 1996. The lower level of marketable securities and cash
balances in the third quarter of 1997 accounted for the lower interest income.
Net interest income for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 was
$77,642 versus net interest income of $86,225 for the comparable period in 1996.

INCOME TAXES

     The Company did not record a tax benefit for the three month and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 as the likelihood of realization of
the benefit is presently not assured.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,341,119 as of September 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 for the forseeable
future.
