                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 1998
                                   (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 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.

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


Results of Operations

     Revenues

     Total revenue  increased  153.2% to $2,865,657 for the  three-month  period
ended June 30,  1998 from  $1,131,832  for the  comparable  period in 1997.  The
increase  was due  primarily  to  increased  revenue  from  packaged  and custom
software  applications.  Revenue for the  six-month  period  ended June 30, 1998
increased  95.5%  over the  comparable  period in 1997 due  primarily  to higher
revenues from packaged software applications.

     Cost of Revenue

     Cost of revenue  increased 94.5% to $1,171,119 for the  three-month  period
ended June 30, 1998 from  $602,140  for the  three-month  period  ended June 30,
1997.  The increase was due primarily to higher costs to support the increase in
sales.  Cost of revenue  increased 68.1% for the six-month period ended June 30,
1998 versus the  comparable  period in 1997 due  primarily to the same reason as
the three-month period.

     Gross Profit

     Gross profit  increased  219.9% to $1,694,538  for the  three-month  period
ended June 30, 1998.  Gross profit as a percentage  of total  revenue  increased
from  46.8% for the  three-month  period  ended  June 30,  1997 to 59.1% for the
three-month  period ended June 30, 1998.  Gross margin as a percentage  of total
revenue  improved  to 58.3% for the six- month  period  ended June 30, 1998 from
51.5% for the comparable  period in 1997. The improved gross margin for both the
three-month  and  six-month  periods as a  percentage  of total  revenue was due
primarily to increased  revenue  levels and a product mix shift to higher margin
packaged software applications.

     Sales, General and Administrative

     Sales,  general and  administrative  expenses decreased 18.0% to $1,122,990
for  the  three-month  period  ended  June  30,  1998  from  $1,369,235  for the
three-month  period  ended June 30,  1997.  The  decrease  is due  primarily  to
approximately  $200,000 in non-recurring expenses related to severance and other
restructuring  charges in the  three-month  period ended June 30,  1997.  Sales,
general and  administrative  expenses  decreased 21.7% for the six-month  period
ended June 30, 1998 to $2,091,228  from  $2,669,563 for the same period in 1997.
The decrease  resulted from reduced  sales and marketing  costs in 1998 together
with the 1997 non-recurring costs discussed in the three-month comparison.


<PAGE>

     Research and Product Development

     Research and product  development  expenses decreased 17.3% to $353,219 for
the  three-month  period ended June 30, 1998 from  $427,059 for the  three-month
period ended June 30, 1997.  The decrease is due primarily to the Company's cost
containment  efforts  implemented  in  the  last  half  of  1997.  Research  and
development  expenses  decreased  24.9% for the six month  period ended June 30,
1998 to $653,549 from $870,460 for the  comparable  period in 1997 due primarily
again to the Company' cost containment efforts.

     Interest Income (Expense)

     The Company  recorded net interest  expense of $14,223 for the  three-month
period  ended June 30,  1998,  versus  net  interest  income of $22,118  for the
comparable  period in 1997. Net interest  expense for the six-month period ended
June 30,  1998 was  $13,963  versus  net  interest  income  of  $69,093  for the
comparable  period in 1997.  The changes  from 1997 to 1998 in each case reflect
the  Company's  borrowing  levels under its bank credit line in 1998 compared to
the Company's invested cash balances in 1997.

     Income Taxes

         The  Company  did not  record a tax  benefit  for the  three-month  and
six-month  periods ended June 30, 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 $88,822 as of June 30, 1998.
The Company  established a $1,000,000  line of credit,  subject to certain asset
levels,  with its bank in April, 1998. At June 30, 1998, the remaining available
borrowing  under this line was $150,000.  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.

      Forward-Looking Statements

     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  are: 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.
