Item 2.  Disposition of Assets.

On May 31, 1996, the Company sold substantially all of the Direct
Sales and Services Group, including its long-distance reseller
business and National Service Center (the DSO Group) to Clarity
Telecom Holdings, Inc. (Clarity), an acquisition company led by
Bain Capital, Inc.  The purchase price consisted of $61.5 million
in cash, a $5.9 million note and warrants to purchase 8% of the
common stock of the new company issued as of the closing, for
$1.1 million, exercisable for three years.  The attached pro
forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based upon
a purchase price valuation of $64.7 million, which includes the
cash consideration and the fair value of the note and warrants.

In addition to the transaction with Clarity, the pro forma
condensed financial statements also reflect the disposition of
the Company's Pittsburgh direct sales office and the impact of
dispositions that the Company believes are probable of occurring,
including the inmate calling business and the videoconferencing
division, which are being sold separately to different
purchasers.  None of such businesses constituted a material
portion of the Company's assets, revenues or income.


Forward-Looking Statements

In connection with initial announcement of the reported sale, the
Company's management projected pro forma revenues in 1995 and pro
forma pretax income, assuming certain expense eliminations, which
was not intended to meet the requirements of Regulation S-X but
was intended to provide a forward-looking estimate.  The pro
forma pretax income for 1995 included in this filing can be
reconciled to the previously provided forward-looking estimate as
follows (in millions of dollars):

          [S]                                  [C]
          1995 Pretax income per pro forma     $23.4
          Less:  Pretax gain on sale           (42.3)
          Add:  Provision for restructuring     25.1
                                                 6.2

          Forward-looking adjustments
           not included in pro forma:
           Acquisition costs                     1.0
           Goodwill amortization and other       0.8
          1995 forward-looking pretax estimate  $8.0

               Executone Information Systems, Inc.
     Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information


The historical consolidated financial statements of Executone
Information Systems, Inc. are as originally reported in its
reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q.  The balance sheet and statements
of operations of the telephony businesses sold to Clarity are
based upon the historical financial results of the Direct Sales
and Services Group, including the long-distance reseller
business, for the respective periods.  In addition, the Company
previously announced that is was negotiating an agreement to sell
its videoconferencing division.  Although terms have not yet been
finalized, the pro forma condensed statements assume that the
disposition will result in a loss of approximately $2.5 million.
The pro forma condensed statements also reflect the sale of the
Pittsburgh direct sales office at its approximate book value and
the disposal of the Company's inmate calling business which is
expected to result in a loss of approximately $1 million.

The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March
31, 1996 has been prepared to reflect the use of a portion of the
proceeds from these transactions to repay the Company's bank
borrowings, assuming the transaction had taken place at that
date.  The pro forma condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the three-
month period ended March 31, 1996 have been prepared assuming
these transactions occurred January 1, 1995 and January 1, 1996,
respectively.  The condensed statements of operations also
reflect the impact of reductions in force which have already been
made related to these dispositions.

The pro forma information does not purport to represent the
Company's actual results of operations if the transactions
described above would have occurred at the beginning of the
respective periods.  In addition, the information may not be
indicative of future results.
