                                   (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 for 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,  1997.  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.

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations

         Revenues

         Total revenues  increased  52.7% from  $1,527,635  for the  three-month
period ended March 31, 1997 compared to  $2,332,861  for the  comparable  period
ended March 31, 1998 due  primarily  to increased  revenue of packaged  software
applications.  Royalties from the FastCall(R) product line, acquired in December
1997,  are  included  in the 1998  numbers.  Royalties  and sales  revenue  from
packaged  software  applications  accounted for over 50% of total revenue in the
quarter ended March 31, 1998.

         Cost of Revenues

         Cost of revenue  increased  45.0%  from  $688,306  for the  three-month
period ended March 31, 1997 to $998,069 for the  three-month  period ended March
31, 1998.  The increase was due primarily to labor and materials  related to the
higher revenue levels.

         Gross Profit

         Gross profit  increased 59.0% to $1,334,792 for the three-month  period
ended  March 31,  1998,  as compared to the  comparable  quarter in 1997.  Gross
profit as a percentage of total revenue increased from 54.9% for the three-month
period ended March 31, 1997 to 57.2% for the three-month  period ended March 31,
1998 due  primarily  to an  increase  in revenue  from  higher  margin  packaged
software applications.

         Sales, General and Administrative

         Sales, general and administrative  expenses decreased 25.5% to $968,238
for the  three-month  period  ended  March  31,  1998  from  $1,300,328  for the
three-month  period  ended March 31,  1997.  The  decrease is due  primarily  to
reduced  staffing in  marketing  and  administrative  departments.  The costs of
attending  trade shows and providing  advertising  materials  were also lower in
1998.

         Research and Product Development

         Research and product development expenses decreased 32.3% from $443,401
for the three-month  period ended March 31, 1997 to $300,330 for the three-month
period ended March 31, 1998. The decrease is due primarily to reduced consulting
and independent contractor expenses in 1998.


<PAGE>


         Interest Income (Expense)

         The Company  recorded net interest  income of $260 for the  three-month
period  ended  March 31,  1998,  versus net  interest  income of $46,975 for the
comparable  period in 1997.  The  reduction  in interest  income was a result of
lower cash and marketable securities levels in 1998.

         Income Taxes

         The Company did not record a tax  benefit for the  three-month  periods
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 as the likelihood of realization of the benefit is
presently not assured.

         Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company had cash and cash  equivalents  of $378,366 as of March 31,
1998,  primarily  representing  the  remaining  funds from the  public  offering
completed in the second  quarter of 1996.  The Company  established a $1,000,000
line of credit,  subject to certain asset  levels,  with its bank in April 1998.
The Company  believes that its current cash  resources  combined with  projected
operating  cash  flow  and its  credit  line  will  be  sufficient  to fund  its
operations and capital expenditures through 1998.

         Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

         Statements  made in this report  regarding the sufficiency of funds for
1998  are  forward  looking  in  nature  and  involve  a  number  of  risks  and
uncertainties.  Actual  results may differ  materially.  Among the factors  that
could cause actual results to differ  materially  include:  the  availability of
sufficient  capital to finance the Company's business plan on terms satisfactory
to the  Company;  the  ability of the  Company to meet its  revenue  goals which
depends on competitive factors,  such as the introduction of new products in the
same  markets;  and  changes in  operating  costs  including  labor and  general
business and economic  conditions.  The Company wishes to caution readers not to
place undue reliance on any such forward looking  statements,  which  statements
are made pursuant to the Private  Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and
as such, speak only as of the date made.
