in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the
periods indicated; which, however, are not necessarily indicative of results
which may be expected for the full year.  Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to certain rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1995

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

GENERAL

     SmarTalk provides convenient, easy to use, cost-effective
telecommunications products and services to individuals and businesses primarily
through its "SmarTalk Card". The SmarTalk Card provides customers with a single
point of access to prepaid telecommunications services at a fixed rate charge
per minute regardless of the time of day or, in the case of domestic calls, the
distance of the call. The Company's services currently include domestic calling
and outbound international long distance calling to more than 150 countries, as
well as enhanced features such as sequential calling, speed dial and message
delivery. The SmarTalk Card may also be recharged on-line with a major credit
card, allowing the user to add minutes as needed.

     SmarTalk services are delivered through proprietary switching, application
and database access software which run on two interactive call processing
SmarTalk platforms, one of which, the "VoiceChoice Platform", the Company owns.
The SmarTalk platforms and the Company's proprietary software allow users in the
system to access SmarTalk services, and provide the Company with the flexibility
to customize and add features to SmarTalk services on a platform-wide basis.

     SmarTalk's revenue originates from (i) Company and co-branded phone card
sales through retailers, (ii) recharges of existing phone cards, (iii) cards
sold for promotional marketing campaigns, (iv) corporate sales to businesses and
(v) certain services provided to one of the Company's strategic partners.

     Under sales agreements with the majority of retailers, the Company sells
cards to the retailer at a set price with normal credit terms.  The Company
generally invoices the retailer upon shipment, recognizing deferred revenue.
The Company recognizes revenue and reduces the deferred revenue account as the
customer utilizes calling time or upon expiration of cards containing unused
calling time.  The Company also recognizes deferred revenue upon recharge of
existing phone cards and recognizes the revenue upon the usage or expiration of
the recharge minutes.  

     The Company was formed in October 1994 and had limited operations until
June 1995.  On October 23, 1996, the Company completed the sale of 4,000,000
shares of its stock in a public offering, which is now listed on the NASDAQ
national stock market. The Company raised proceeds of $53,940,000 after
deducting the underwriting discount. A portion of the proceeds were used to
repay all of the Company's indebtedness except for a revolving credit facility
with Southern California Bank.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1995

     Revenue.  Revenue increased to $8,266,864 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 from $227,638 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
The substantial increase in revenue reflects an increase in usage of SmarTalk
services by users of the SmarTalk Card, an increase in the number of retail
storefronts in which the Company's product is distributed and greater brand
awareness and consumer acceptance.  Revenue generated from recharges comprised
approximately 10% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
compared to 5.1% for the comparable period in 1995.  This increase in recharge
revenue is due to a greater number of SmarTalk cards eligible for recharge in
the marketplace.  In addition, $2,682,897 of revenue for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, was attributable to a distribution and processing agreement
entered into on June 1, 1996 with West Interactive Corporation.  The 

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
Company recognizes revenue under this agreement based on minute usage, which is
consistent with the manner in which the Company recognizes revenue on cards sold
to retailers.

     Cost of Revenue.  Cost of revenue increased to $6,201,555 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 from $159,769 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995. The increase was primarily attributable to greater use of
the Company's services. The gross profit percentage for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 was 25% as compared to 29.8% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995. The gross margin percentage decreased primarily due to the
lower gross margin associated with the above-mentioned distribution and
processing agreement and the costs associated with operating the VoiceChoice
platform which was purchased on June 15, 1996. Transport costs constituted a
greater percentage of cost of revenue in the 1996 period as the fulfillment and
card cost percentage declined.

     Sales and Marketing Expenses.  Sales and marketing expenses increased to
$2,842,566 or (34.3% of revenue) for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
from $367,913 (or 162% of revenue) for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
The increase in dollar amount was primarily due to commissions paid to sales
representatives generally and to retailers for recharges, as well as the
continued expansion of the Company's marketing activities, which include co-op
advertising, manufacturers development funds and free promotional goods.  The
decrease as a percentage of revenue was due to increased revenue growth in 1996.

     General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses
increased to $2,469,477 (or 29.9% of revenue) for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 from $170,271 (or 74.8% of revenue) for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995.  The increase in dollar amount was primarily due to the
addition of personnel and costs associated with the growth in the company's
business.  The decrease as a percentage of revenue was due to increased revenue
growth in 1996.  General and administrative costs for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 included rent associated with the Company's move into a new
office on March 1, 1996, VISA and MasterCard processing fees associated with the
Company's on-line recharge feature, as well as increased general operating
expenses.  General and administrative costs for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 primarily included expenses related to establishing regulatory
compliance in all 50 states, the cost of developing the Company's product and
packaging concept, and costs to file documentation related to the procurement of
corporate servicemarks and patents.

     Interest Expense.  Net interest expense, net of interest income for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $186,636 as compared to $1,532 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995.  This increase was due to an increase in
debt financing in 1996.

     Income Taxes.  The Company had losses for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 and 1995. Accordingly, there was no provision for income taxes.

     Net Loss.  As a result of the above items, net loss increased to
$3,433,370 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $471,847 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995.

QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

     Revenue.  Revenue increased to $4,588,844 for the quarter ended September
30, 1996 from $185,900 for the third quarter ended September 30, 1995.  The
substantial increase in revenue reflects an increase in usage of SmarTalk
services by users of the SmarTalk Card, an increase in the number of retail
storefronts in which the company's product is distributed and greater brand
awareness and consumer acceptance.  Revenue generated from recharges increased 
significantly and comprised approximately 9.8% of total revenue for the quarter
ended September 30, 1996 and 5.3% for the same quarter in 1995. This increase in
recharge revenue is due to a greater number of SmarTalk cards eligible for
recharge in the marketplace. In addition, $2,222,897, or approximately 48.4% of
revenue for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996, was earned under a
distribution and processing agreement entered into on June 1, 1996 with West
Interactive. The Company recognizes revenue under this agreement based on minute
usage, which is consistent with the manner in which the Company recognizes
revenue on cards sold to retailers.

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
     Cost of Revenue.  Cost of revenue increased to $3,459,440 for the third
quarter ended September 30, 1996 from $129,858 for the quarter ended September
30, 1995.  The increase was primarily attributable to greater use of the
Company's services.  The gross profit percentage for the third quarter ended
September 30, 1996 was 24.6% as compared to 30.1% for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995.  Gross margin decreased primarily due to the lower gross
margin associated with the above mentioned distribution and processing agreement
and the costs associated with operating the VoiceChoice platform which was
purchased on June 15, 1996. Transport costs constituted a greater percentage of 
cost of revenue in the 1996 period as the fulfillment and card cost percentage 
declined.

     Sales and Marketing Expenses.  Sales and marketing expenses increased to
$1,199,140 (or 26.1% of revenue) for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 from
$194,671 (or 105% of revenue) for the quarter ended September 30, 1995.  The
increase in dollar amount was primarily due to commissions paid to sales
representatives generally and to retailers for recharges, as well as the 
continued expansion of the Company's marketing activities, which include co-op
advertising, manufacturers development funds and free promotional goods. The
decrease as a percentage of revenue was due to increased revenue growth in 1996.

     General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses
increased to $1,010,184 (or 22% of revenue) for the quarter ended September 30,
1996 from $46,249 (or 24.8% of revenue) for the third quarter ended September
30, 1995.  The increase in dollar amount was primarily due to the addition of
personnel and costs associated with the growth in the Company's business.  The
decrease as a percentage of revenue was due to increased revenue growth in 1996.
General and administrative costs for the quarter ended September 30, 1996
included rent associated with the Company's move into a new office on March 1,
1996, VISA and MasterCard processing fees associated with the Company's on-line
recharge feature, as well as increased general operating expenses.  General and
administrative costs for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 primarily included
expenses related to establishing regulatory compliance in all 50 states, the
cost of developing the Company's product and packaging concept, and costs to
file documentation related to the procurement of corporate servicemarks and
patents.

     Interest Expense.  Net interest expense, net of interest income for the
third quarter ended September 30, 1996 was $82,264 as compared to $1,532 for the
quarter ended September 30, 1995.  The increase was due to an increase in debt
financing in 1996.

     Income Tax.  The Company had losses for the quarters ended September 30,
1996 and 1995.  Accordingly, there was no provision for income taxes.

     Net Loss.  As a result of the above items, net loss increased to $1,162,184
for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 from $186,410 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

On October 23, 1996, the Company completed the sale of 4,000,000 shares of its
stock in a public offering, which is now listed on the NASDAQ national stock
market. The Company raised proceeds of $53,940,000 after deducting the
underwriting discount. A portion of the proceeds were used to repay all of the
Company's outstanding loans except for a revolving credit facility with Southern
California Bank.

From inception through September 30, 1996, the Company has funded operations
primarily from cash generated by operations and borrowings under its debt
agreements. The Company's operating activities used net cash of $3,235,953 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The cash used by operating activities
is primarily attributable to the Company's continued efforts to increase its
penetration of the retail distribution channel.

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
In September 1996, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit with
Southern California Bank ("SCB Line of Credit"). Pursuant to the terms of
the SCB Line of Credit, the Company can borrow up to $1,000,000 secured by a
first priority lien on substantially all of the Company's assets. Interest on
the outstanding principal balance, calculated from the date of each advance to
the repayment of each advance, is at the prime rate (as published in the Wall
Street Journal) plus 2.375%. Interest payments are due monthly with the Company
being required to make a minimum interest payment of $4,429 per month for one
year. If the line of credit is paid off prior to one year, the remaining minimum
monthly payments become due and payable. The SCB Line of Credit will become due
and payable September 1, 1997. As of December 6, 1996, there was $510,000
outstanding pursuant to the SCB Line of Credit.

The Company believes that the proceeds from the Offering, together with the
funds anticipated to be generated from operations, will be sufficient to finance
the Company's operations for the next 18 months.
