ITEM 1.           BUSINESS

General

         EXECUTONE  Information  Systems,  Inc.  ("EXECUTONE"  or the "Company")
designs, manufactures, sells, installs and supports voice processing systems and
healthcare  communications  systems.   EXECUTONE  also  provides  cost-effective
long-distance  telephone service through its INFOSTAR'r'/LD+  program.  Products
are  sold  under  the  EXECUTONE'r',  INFOSTAR'r',  IDS'tm',  LIFESAVER'tm'  and
INFOSTAR/ILS'tm'  brand names  through a worldwide  network of direct  sales and
service offices and independent distributors.

         EXECUTONE's  executive  offices are located at 478 Wheelers Farms Road,
Milford,  Connecticut  06460,  telephone  (203)  876-7600.  The Common  Stock of
EXECUTONE  is traded on the  NASDAQ  National  Market  System  under the  symbol
"XTON", and its Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2011 trade on the NASDAQ
system under the symbol "XTONG".


Recent Developments

         On April 10,  1996,  the Company  entered into an agreement to sell the
Company's direct sales and service organization,  including its network services
division,  to a new acquisition company led by Bain Capital,  Inc. and including
Triumph  Capital Group (the  "Buyer").  The purchase price will consist of $61.5
million in cash, a $5.9 million junior  subordinated note due July 1, 2004, with
interest at 7.5% per year,  and warrants to purchase 8% of the equity  issued as
of the  closing in the new  company.  The sale is  expected  to close on May 31,
1996, subject to the Buyer's financing and other conditions.

         The purchase and sale  agreement also provides that the Company and the
Buyer will enter into a five-year  exclusive  distributor  agreement pursuant to
which the Buyer will sell and service  EXECUTONE'r'  and  INFOSTAR'r'  telephone
products to business and commercial locations that require up to 400 telephones.

   
         The sale will include the Company's  National Service Center.  The sale
does not include the  Pittsburgh  direct  sales and  service  office,  which the
Company  has  separately  agreed  to  sell  to one of its  existing  independent
distributors for  approximately  $1.3 million in cash and notes. The sale of the
Direct Sales and Service Group  (including  the separate sale of the  Pittsburgh
office)  relates  primarily to the retail  distribution  channel of the Computer
Telephony division and includes the entire network services division.  After the
sale, the Computer  Telephony  division  consists  of telephony product sales to
independent  distributors,  of which Clarity is the largest  distributor,  along
with the National  Accounts and Federal Systems  marketing  groups.  The Company
retains its Healthcare Communications and Call Center Management businesses  and
the Unistar business.

         On April 10, 1996,  the Company also announced that it had given notice
of its intention to terminate its distribution  agreement with GPT Video Systems
due to  failures  by  GPT  to  deliver  properly  functioning  videoconferencing
products on a timely basis.  In June 1996, the Company completed the sale of its
videoconferencing  division,  including  customer service  contracts and certain
inventory,  to BT  Visual  Images  LLC  for  approximatley  $115,000,  plus  the
assumption of certain liabilities relating to the business, of the division.

         In April  1996,  the  Company  also sold its inmate  calling  business,
including certain equipment and customer contracts,  for approximately  $550,000
plus the  assumption  of certain  obligations  relating  to the  business.  This
business was part of the Computer Telephony division.

         On December 19, 1995, the Company  acquired 100% of the common stock of
Unistar Gaming Corp., a Delaware corporation  ("Unistar").  Unistar, through its
subsidiary Unistar  Entertainment,  Inc., has an exclusive five-year contract to
design,  develop,  finance, and manage the National Indian Lottery (the "NIL" or
"Lottery").  The NIL will be a national  telephone lottery authorized by federal
law and by a compact  between  the State of Idaho and the Coeur  d'Alene  Indian
Tribe of Idaho ("Coeur d'Alene Tribe"). In return for providing these management
services, Unistar will be paid a fee equal to 30% of the profits of the NIL.
    

         The Company  acquired 100% of Unistar for 3.7 million  shares of Common
Stock,  250,000  shares of  Cumulative  Convertible  Preferred  Stock,  Series A
("Series A  Preferred  Stock")  and 100,000  shares of  Cumulative  Contingently
Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B ("Series B Preferred Stock").

         The Series A Preferred  Stock has voting  rights  equal to one share of
Common Stock and will earn dividends equal to 18.5% of the consolidated Retained
Earnings of Unistar as of the end of a fiscal period, less any dividends paid to
the  holders of the Series A Preferred  Stock  prior to such date.  The Series B
Preferred  Stock has voting  rights  equal to one share of Common Stock and will
earn dividends equal to 31.5% of the consolidated  Retained  Earnings of Unistar
as of the end of a fiscal period,  less any dividends paid to the holders of the
Series B Preferred  Stock prior to such date.  All dividends on Preferred  Stock
are  payable  (I) when and as  declared  by the  Board of  Directors,  (ii) upon
conversion or  redemption of the Series A and Series B Preferred  Stock or (iii)
upon liquidation.  The Series A and Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable for a
total of 13.3 million shares of Common Stock (Series A Preferred Stock for 4.925
million  shares and Series B Preferred  Stock for 8.375  million  shares) at the
Company's  option.  The Series A Preferred  Stock is convertible for up to 4.925
million shares of Common Stock and the Series B Preferred  Stock is contingently
convertible  for up to  8.375  million  shares  of  Common  Stock (a total of an
additional 13.3 million shares of Common Stock) if Unistar meets certain revenue
and profit parameters. Shareholder approval is required before any of the Series
B Preferred  Stock can be converted or redeemed.  The Company  intends to submit
the terms of the Series B Preferred  Stock to its  shareholders  for approval at
the 1996 Annual Meeting.
   

         The telephone  operations of the NIL cannot begin until the  resolution
of a pending legal proceeding. Certain states have attempted to block the NIL by
filing letters under 18 U.S.C.  Section 1084 preventing  long-distance  carriers
from providing telephone service to the NIL based on allegations that the NIL is
not legal.  The Coeur d'Alene Tribe has initiated legal action to argue that the
Lottery is  authorized by the Indian Gaming  Regulatory  Act ("IGRA")  passed in
1988,  that IGRA preempts state and federal  statutes,  and that the states lack
authority to issue the Section  1084  notification  letters to any  carrier.  On
February 28, 1996, the Coeur d"Alene Tribal Court ruled that all requirements of
IGRA have been  satisfied,  that the Section 1084 letters are invalid,  and that
the long distance carrier is obligated to provide telephone service for the NIL.
This  ruling and a related  order  dated May 1, 1996 are being  appealed  to the
Tribal  Appellate  Court and  probably  will be  appealed  to the United  States
federal  courts  as well.  The Company has been advised by its outside  counsel,
Hunton  &  Williams,  that  based  upon  such  firm's  review  of the applicable
statutes, regulations and case law, it believes that the National Indian Lottery
is  authorized  under  IGRA  and  that the favorable rulings issued by the Coeur
D'Alene Tribal Court on February 28, and May 1, 1996 should be upheld on appeal.

         In July 1995,  the  Company  reorganized  its core  business  into five
divisions:  Computer Telephony,  Healthcare  Communication  Systems, Call Center
Management,  Videoconferencing  Products,  and Network Services. The business of
Executone,  Inc.  acquired  by the  Company  in 1988 was a  telephone  equipment
business that focused its direct  selling effort on office sites with fewer than
20 phones,  with an emphasis on selling additional hardware to generate revenues
in the form of moves, adds and changes ("MAC") and service, mainly on a time and
material basis. The average system size in the customer base at that time was in
the 8-10  phone  range.  It was  originally  expected  in 1988  that the MAC and
service revenues generated by the customer base would be increasingly profitable
as the base of customers grew.  Since 1988, the Company has expanded its product
line to the high-end user, with larger customers and more sophisticated products
to serve customers' total communications  needs. The strategy the Company is now
pursuing is to focus on software  solutions  versus the hardware  orientation of
the business purchased in the 1988 acquisition.  With the IDS product, a digital
platform for various  communications  functions,  which was developed  after the
acquisition,  the  Company's  product lines now provide  sophisticated  software
applications,  including  integrated voice mail, call center  applications (ACD,
IVR's and predictive dialers),  infrared locator systems, nurse call systems and
computer telephony interfaces that drive its telephony products.

         The  development  in the nature and complexity of our product lines has
changed the way the Company has to market its products. Unlike many companies in
its industry  that focus on one  particular  product to one market,  the Company
provides multiple products and applications to its particular market niche. This
requires the Company to have  expertise  in each  particular  market  segment in
which it competes  because the Company's  competitors are primarily  one-product
companies  or  divisions  who are  experts  in their  particular  market  niche.
Therefore, the Company consolidated the sales, marketing and product development
functions  for each market  segment  under a  divisional  management  structure,
headed by a division president.  The sales force has been restructured such that
each sales  person is assigned to a specific  division and will sell only within
that division's market segment.  The  specialization of the sales force included
the  addition of sales  representatives  with the  necessary  product and market
expertise,   as  well  as  substantial   retraining  for  the  remaining   sales
representatives.


Business Strategy

         EXECUTONE is a vertically  integrated  voice  processing and healthcare
communications company. The Company controls the major elements of its business,
ranging from  product  design,  manufacturing  and  marketing  to  distribution,
installation,  service and  support.  Revenues  are  derived  from both from new
installations and from the Company's  existing customer base through  additions,
changes,  upgrades or relocation of previously  installed  systems,  maintenance
contracts, service charges and sales of network services. The Company's products
and services are marketed and sold through a worldwide network of Company direct
sales and service offices and independent distributors. The Company is organized
into five divisions focusing on different products and market segments: computer
telephony, healthcare communication systems, call


                                          3

<PAGE>



center  management,  videoconferencing  products,  and network (voice,  data and
video) services.

         The  objective  of  the  computer   telephony   division  is  to  offer
value-added  products and services.  The Company's  integrated digital telephone
systems  emphasize  flexible software  applications,  such as data switching and
computer  telephone  interface,  designed to enhance the  customer's  ability to
communicate,  obtain and manage  information.  The Company's  telephone  systems
provide the platform for its other voice processing software applications,  such
as automatic call distribution.


         The  healthcare   communications   systems  division  provides  to  its
healthcare  facility  customers  integration of voice and data between nurse and
patient  communication  systems and hospital information  systems,  resulting in
increased  flexibility  and  efficiency  in hospital  operations,  and  improved
patient care. EXECUTONE has been a recognized name in this market for many years
with its LIFESAVER'tm' and  CARE/COM'r'II-E  nurse call systems.  The Company is
also creating  software  applications  specific to hospital and nursing homes to
help resolve other labor intensive tasks.

         The    healthcare    communications    division    also   markets   the
INFOSTAR/ILS'tm' locator system, released in early 1994. The INFOSTAR/ILS system
can improve productivity, save time and expense for users and eliminate overhead
paging by instantly  locating staff and equipment in a facility.  Each person or
piece of equipment  wears an  individually  coded badge that transmits  infrared
signals to sensors placed  throughout  the facility,  which forward the location
information to a central  processing  unit. The location data can be accessed on
local display stations.  The ILS'tm' system can be integrated with the Company's
telephone systems and the LIFESAVER'tm'  nurse call system to provide additional
productivity  improvements  for  hospital  environments.  The ILS system is also
marketed by the computer telephony division for office environments.

         The call center management  division  develops and sells  sophisticated
telephony  products  that  integrate a  computerized  digital  telephone  system
platform  with  high-volume  inbound,  outbound  and  internal  call  processing
systems.  Such systems include automatic call distribution  systems,  predictive
dialing  systems,  scripting  software  to assist  agents  handling  calls,  and
interactive voice response  systems.  Certain of these systems also provide data
interface  with host or  mainframe  computers.  These  systems  are sold to call
center   customers   that  have  a  need  for   systems   to   efficiently   and
cost-effectively  receive or place their customer or prospect calls,  distribute
those calls to available live operators, obtain information from callers, record
and distribute  messages from callers,  and produce  management  reports on call
activity.

         The videoconferencing division is the exclusive distributor of products
of GPT Video Systems  ("GPT") in the United  States.  The division also provides
videoconferencing  network  services  such as multipoint  conferencing,  network
bridging and network design to its videoconferencing customers.

         The network services  division offers  cost-effective  voice,  data and
video


                                          4

<PAGE>



long-distance  service,  least-cost routing,  network design and network support
services,  enabling  customers to make more efficient and  cost-effective use of
their  telecommunications  systems.  Services  are sold  primarily  to telephony
customers in the United States.

         In 1995, the Company acquired Unistar.  Unistar, through its subsidiary
Unistar Entertainment,  Inc., has an exclusive five-year contract with the Coeur
d'Alene  Tribe of Idaho to design,  develop,  finance,  and manage the  National
Indian  Lottery  (the  "NIL"  or the  "Lottery").  The NIL  will  be a  national
telephone  lottery  authorized  by the  federal  Indian  Gaming  Regulatory  Act
("IGRA") and a compact  between the State of Idaho and the Coeur d'Alene  Tribe.
In return for providing these  management  services to the NIL,  Unistar will be
paid a fee equal to 30% of the profits of the NIL. Through Unistar,  the Company
will provide  development  and  management of the network design and call center
applications  for the  Lottery's  operations.  It is  anticipated  that calls to
purchase  lottery  tickets  will be made via 800 number  lines and  processed by
interactive voice response systems,  as well as live agents located on the Coeur
d'Alene  Reservation  using ACD  software to manage a high volume of calls.  The
Lottery will require an extensive  telephone  network to handle the  anticipated
call volume.

         The telephone operations of the NIL cannot begin until resolution of a
pending legal proceeding.  See "Legal Proceedings."

Computer Telephony Products

         The Company  offers a complete line of  applications-oriented  computer
telephony systems,  ranging from those satisfying the basic voice communications
needs of small businesses to those capable of meeting the complex voice and data
communications  demands  of much  larger  business  locations  that  need  fully
featured  telecommunications systems. The Company markets the IDS'tm' Integrated
Digital  System,  along with an  expanding  line of  software  applications  and
features operating on that platform. The Company's largest telephone platform is
the  IDS'tm'/System  648  digital  system,  which  can  accommodate  up  to  648
nonblocking voice ports and 648 nonblocking data ports. The Company believes its
installed telephone equipment base exceeds 3 million desktops.

         In 1996, the Company introduced its TAPI telephone, designed to support
any  desktop   application  using  the  TAPI  standard  for   computer-telephone
integration,  in order to speed  inbound and outbound call handling and increase
productivity.  The  TAPI  telephone  can  eliminate  time  spent  searching  for
telephone  numbers,  looking up PBX feature  codes,  misdialing or searching for
information to handle a call.

         The Company's  telephone systems are characterized by flexible software
and a hardware design that makes them readily  adaptable to evolving  technology
and customer  requirements.  The Company attributes the market acceptance of its
systems to  cost-effective  design  and to the  sophistication  of its  software
options.  The  software  in each system  provides  such  features  as  automatic
dialing, add-on conferencing,  call forwarding,  last number redialing,  message
waiting, paging capability, internal diagnostic routines and other commonly used
communications features. The Company's systems also include an integrated


                                          5

<PAGE>



automated attendant feature to answer and transfer calls quickly and efficiently
without  operator  intervention,  and a video  display  terminal and  management
reports  that  permit the  monitoring  of calls and improve  the  efficiency  of
directing calls to the appropriate  extensions.  The Company's telephone systems
also  support  sophisticated  applications  such as voice  mail and call  center
products as well as the Company's locator system.

         The Company also offers a voice mail system that can be integrated with
the IDS'tm' telephone systems and with telephone systems manufactured by others.
The voice message or voice mail system receives,  records, stores,  distributes,
transfers and replays  messages from both external and internal  callers and can
supplement other call center systems.

         The Company  develops its  application-specific  software options using
high-level   programming   languages  to  facilitate  further  enhancements  and
portability.  EXECUTONE's  software  includes  remote  capabilities  built  into
certain  systems  that  enable the  Company  to  customize  and update  selected
features  continuously,  which increases the value of such systems and lengthens
their  useful  lives.  Certain of the  Company's  systems  are capable of having
service diagnostics,  updates and modifications performed on a remote basis. The
ability to provide such off-site servicing  increases the efficiency of customer
support and service.


Healthcare Communication Products

         The Company  develops,  manufactures,  markets  and  services a line of
specialized  internal  communications  systems  that are used  primarily  in the
healthcare    industry.    These    internal    communications    systems    are
microprocessor-based  patient-to-nurse  communication systems, intercoms, paging
and sound equipment, and room status indicators.

         The  Company's  LIFESAVER'tm'  nurse call system is an advanced  system
integrating voice and data communication between nurse and patient and providing
enhanced  self-diagnostics.  The  LIFESAVER'tm'  system is a  state-of-the-  art
communications  network that  provides  routine and emergency  signaling,  voice
communications  and data  transmission.  The nurse  console  offers  menu-driven
functions and step-by-step user prompts. The system is highly flexible, offering
many  programmable  features that allow  customization  of its operations to the
hospital's  needs.  A single  system can serve more than 300  patient  beds (150
rooms) and up to eight nurse  control  stations,  and up to eight systems can be
networked for centralized operation.

          The  CARE/COM'r'  II-E nurse call system  represents the first step in
EXECUTONE's  plan to bring the benefits of a totally  integrated  communications
system to the  healthcare  market on the  Company's  IDS digital  platform.  The
CARE/COM'r'  lI-E system  provides  patient-to-staff  and  staff-to-staff  voice
communication on an automatic  three-level call priority basis.  This new system
can  currently  support 72 patient  stations  per  system,  with the  ability to
integrate three systems together and support 216 patient stations.  A three-line
LCD display  Nurse Control  Station  allows  simple call  processing  and system
operation. The


                                          6

system is highly  flexible  to meet the  individually  defined  needs of today's
hospitals and long-term care facilities.

         The  LIFESAVER'tm'  nurse call  system  integrates  with the  Company's
locator system.

         The  Healthcare  Division  also  markets the  INFOSTAR'r'  /PRS patient
reporting  system,  an automated  voice storage system that allows the efficient
transfer of patient  information  between nurses.  Patient reports are password-
protected for confidentiality and admission,  discharge and transfer information
are also supported.  The system uses standard telephone instruments and provides
full voice messaging capability. The INFOSTAR'r'/PRS system reduces report time,
provides continuity at shift changes, and improves report quality.

         In 1995,  the  Healthcare  Division  began  marketing the  Communicator
system manufactured by Dialogic Communications Corporation, in which the Company
has an equity investment.  The Communicator  product is a P.C.-based,  automated
callout system that rapidly  locates  personnel to fulfill  routine or emergency
staffing needs,  searching  multiple locations until responses are sufficient to
satisfy the staffing need. The system also provides real-time management reports
of employee  eligibility,  availability,  and responses.  Using the Communicator
system, hospitals can improve staffing efficiency,  avoid miscommunication,  and
enhance productivity.

Locator Systems

         The Company's  INFOSTAR/ILS'tm'  locator system is an integrated system
using  infrared  transmitter  badges to  communicate  location  data to  sensors
installed   throughout   a   facility.   The  badges   transmit   regularly   at
user-programmed  intervals  and can be worn by staff  personnel  or  attached to
equipment.  The location  data is  collected  by the sensors and  forwarded to a
central  processing unit that organizes the data so it can be accessed at one or
more display stations.  The display of staff and equipment location  information
can be in the  form of a list  or in the  form  of a map of the  facility  using
icons. The display can be filtered to show only particular staff members, groups
of personnel,  particular pieces of equipment or groups of equipment. The system
can be integrated with either the IDS telephone systems, allowing the activation
of features and display of  information  on the telephone  set, or the Company's
nurse  call  systems,  allowing  the  activation  of  features  and  display  of
information   at  the  nurse   control   station  and  patient   stations.   The
INFOSTAR/VLS'tm'  version  of this  product  allows  outside  callers  to locate
personnel within a facility, find out who the person is with, complete the call,
or leave a voice  message.  The ILS and VLS  systems can also be  integrated  to
other  manufacturers'  PBXs.  Nortel  has now made ILS  available  to its dealer
network for sale by its dealers in conjunction with Nortel PBXs.


Call Center Management Products

          The Company's call center management products consist of the following
systems,  which can be integrated with the Company's  computer telephone systems
and with each other to provide large-volume inbound, outbound and


                                          7




<PAGE>
<PAGE>



internal call  management.  Computer-telephone  integration  ("CTI")  technology
integrates the IDS'tm' call processing function with information in a customer's
computer   database.   Primarily   used  by  large   incoming  call  centers  to
automatically  identify  incoming callers and by outbound centers to contact and
provide records of contacts,  CTI limits the amount of time that an agent spends
contacting or identifying the caller, thereby providing better customer service,
reducing  the  number  of  required  agents  and  reducing  telephone  line  and
transmission expense.


          Predictive Dialers and Scripting Products - The INFOSTAR'r'/Predictive
Dialer is an automated call system  designed to boost  productivity  in outbound
call centers. The system integrates  telephone,  data collection and transaction
processing  functions  for those  customers  who require high volume  contact by
telephone to transact  business,  such as sales,  credit and collections,  blood
banks and fund-raising. Working with the host computer and the IDS'tm' telephone
system platform,  the dialer  automatically  dials telephone numbers pulled from
the host computer database and detects "live" calls.  Available  representatives
receive  these calls and,  through  CTI, can view screen  information  about the
customer from the database immediately after the customer answers the phone. The
system predicts the  availability  of agents in order to reduce  abandoned calls
and increase agent productivity, and reduces agent contact with busy signals, no
answers,  wrong  numbers and  answering  machines.  Management  reports  provide
instant and historical  feedback on call  distribution,  list  management,  data
input integrity and file maintenance.  Scripting software allows the call center
to create a script to guide its agents through various call scenarios and prompt
the input of desired information.

         Automatic  Call  Distribution  ("ACD") - ACD  systems  are  designed to
increase responsiveness to inbound callers and increase agent productivity.  ACD
systems  provide  the  capability  to  distribute  or  route  incoming  calls to
available  agents  based  upon  management's   specifications,   and  allow  the
supervisor of the call  processing  group to monitor call traffic  on-line via a
computer  terminal.  The Company produces ACD software for call centers of up to
500 agents in  multiple  shifts  (225 in any single  shift),  in five  levels of
sophistication,  the  highest of which is "Custom  Plus  ACD."  Custom  Plus ACD
provides the  capability to store and retrieve  call data for a limited  period,
print out standard  call traffic  reports,  customize  reports to the needs of a
specific  application,  monitor  traffic with color  screens and  graphics,  and
greatly enhance the ability to store and retrieve historical call data.

         Interactive  Voice Response - The Company's  interactive voice response
("IVR")  systems provide  businesses  with automated  handling of routine calls.
Voice response  systems allow callers to input and retrieve  information into or
from  computers  by means of the  dialpads  on their  telephones.  The caller is
guided by voice prompts to input data by dialing  numbers,  which the IVR system
converts  into  computer  keystrokes.  The IVR system can also convert  computer
screen information into voice prompts,  allowing callers to retrieve information
from computers.  The voice response  product provides  advanced  computer access
applications  and advanced  facilities,  such as ISDN,  that  interface with the
Company's   IDS'tm'  family  of  telephone  systems  and  other  advanced  voice
processing applications.

Videoconferencing Systems and Services

         The Videoconferencing  Division markets videoconferencing  equipment in
the  United  States  and  provides  video  network   services   including  video
networking, network design, multipoint conferencing, and video network bridging.
The Company provides its  videoconferencing  customers with a "turnkey" solution
including  equipment  installation,  network services,  maintenance and customer
support.


Network Services

         The Company markets INFOSTAR'r'/LD+  long-distance telephone service to
its  customers.  INFOSTAR'r'/LD+  provides a complete  service to the  Company's
customers  from the initial  sale  through  billing and  customer  support.  The
Company has  contracted  with major  carriers  including  Sprint,  Worldcom  and
Teleport  Communications to carry the  long-distance  traffic for both voice and
data on their  networks.  The  Company  has also  signed  agreements  to provide
alternative  local  access in select  cities  throughout  the U.S.  This program
offers many features  including  six-second  billing  rates,  accounting  codes,
international  service,  800 service,  "T-1" access and  specialized  management
reporting.

The Company also provides the following network services:

         Network  Designer  -  The  Company  can  perform  a  computer-generated
analysis of a  customer's  calling  patterns in order to  recommend  the optimum
configuration of its network.  Recommendations  would include the  long-distance
carriers and the number of lines needed.

         Least Cost Routing  ("LCR") - LCR stores  current tariff tables for the
appropriate  long-distance  carriers  employed by the customer and automatically
selects the least  expensive  carrier for each  specific  call at the moment the
call is placed.

         Data Switching - Data switching  provides the capability to switch data
between mainframe, minicomputers,  personal computers, terminals and peripherals
through the telephone systems.

         Centrex  Capability and Applications - The Company's  telephone systems
can be  programmed to function in  conjunction  with and enhance the features of
Centrex services offered by the local telephone companies.


Sales and Marketing

         Developing  and  maintaining  a strong  relationship  with the end-user
customer  is the  focus  of the  Company's  marketing  strategy.  The  Company's
distribution  network consists of (1) 70 Company-owned  direct sales and service
locations in the major markets in the United  States;  (2) domestic  independent
distributors with approximately 110 locations operating under exclusive and


                                          9




<PAGE>
<PAGE>



nonexclusive  agreements throughout the United States and Canada; (3) a National
Accounts  Division  that  uses the  sales,  installation,  service  and  support
capabilities of EXECUTONE's  distribution  network to serve multiple offices and
departments  of  companies;  (4)  a  Federal  Systems  Division  that  uses  the
distribution  network to serve offices of the U. S. Government and its agencies;
(5) vertical  marketing  organizations  of the healthcare  communications,  call
center,  network  and  videoconferencing   divisions;  and  (6)  20  independent
distributors operating in sixteen other foreign countries.

         For those  distributors  that have  exclusive  distribution  rights for
specified  products,  retention  of such  rights is subject to  satisfaction  of
established criteria for sales and service to customers on an ongoing basis. The
divesting  of or  acquisition  of  customer  bases  to or from  distributors  in
specific geographic  territories may occur in the normal course of the Company's
business.

         EXECUTONE's  National Accounts Division provides uniformity in pricing,
coordination,  installation,  billing and service for National Accounts Division
customers such as Electronic Data Systems,  Airborne Express,  Paychex, Inc., W.
W.  Grainger,  Home Quarters  Warehouse,  Inc.,  Bridgestone/Firestone,  Carlson
Companies,  Fidelity  Investments  and TCI Cable.  The Division  coordinates the
sales,  installation,  service and support  functions of direct and  independent
sales offices to serve the multiple offices and departments of large companies.

         The  Company's   Federal   Systems   Division   addresses  the  special
procurement and administrative  requirements of the U.S.  Government.  Sales are
made through a  combination  of master  contracts  and  competitively  solicited
proposals for large or complex telecommunications requirements.  Federal Systems
coordinates  the  installation,  service  and support  activities  of direct and
independent  sales offices to provide  ongoing support to federal agency offices
nationwide.

         Backlog consists  primarily of products that have been ordered and that
will be shipped or installed  within 30 to 60 days of the order (other than call
center and  healthcare  orders,  which have a longer lead time),  or systems the
installation  of  which  is not yet  required  by the  customer.  Backlog  as of
December 31,  1995,  was $ 33,091,000  compared to  $29,390,000  at December 31,
1994, and the Company expects  virtually all of such backlog to be filled within
the current fiscal year.


Customer Support and Service

         The Company  operates a National  Service Center that diagnoses  system
problems  for many of the  end-user  customers  of its direct  sales and service
offices,  coordinates field service  personnel and programs certain  corrections
remotely from a centralized location at its corporate headquarters. The National
Service Center helps the Company in providing  consistent  customer  service and
support while  improving the  productivity  of the  Company's  technicians.  All
service calls received from customers are controlled  from initial  diagnosis to
ultimate disposition through an internally-developed  and maintained proprietary
software  package.  The National  Service  Center  maintains  detailed  customer
records and also markets and  monitors  certain  products  and services  such as
maintenance


                                          10




<PAGE>
<PAGE>



contracts.  It is the primary point of contact for customer needs,  questions or
requests.  Additionally,  the National  Service Center provides the Company with
statistical  data and reports  regarding a product's  performance,  which can be
used to make enhancements and improvements. This data is also available for each
of the Company's locations and each of its technicians.

         EXECUTONE  warrants  parts and labor on its systems,  typically for one
year, and provides maintenance and service after warranty expiration either on a
contract  or time  and  materials  basis.  Most of the  Company's  products  are
repaired at its 56,000-square foot repair facility located in Poway, California.

Product Development and Engineering

         As of March 1, 1996, EXECUTONE employed over 100 individuals engaged in
product design and development.  The Company's  product  development  program is
designed to anticipate and respond to customer needs through  development of new
products  and  enhancement  of existing  products.  During 1995,  the  Company's
engineering   efforts  focused  on   applications-oriented   software  products,
including  new  releases  of  voice   messaging,   call  center  and  healthcare
communications  software.  EXECUTONE  continually  strives to reduce  production
costs  by  incorporating  new  technology  into  its  design  and  manufacturing
operations.   For  the  years  ended   December  31,  1995,   1994,   and  1993,
Company-sponsored  product development and engineering  expenditures  (including
product management and testing) amounted to approximately  $14.7 million,  $12.2
million, and $9.9 million, respectively.


Manufacturing

         Most of  EXECUTONE's  telephone  products  are  manufactured  by Wong's
Electronics  Company,  Ltd.  ("Wong's")  in  Hong  Kong  or  China,  by  Quality
Telecommunication Products, also referred to as Compania Dominicana de Telefonos
("Codetel"),  in the Dominican  Republic,  and by the Company directly in Poway,
California.  Many of the printed  circuit boards for the Company's  products are
manufactured,   and  many  products  are  assembled   into  systems  and  system
components, in the United States.

         The Company's  Manufacturing  Services  Agreement with Wong's currently
expires  in  February  1997  but is  automatically  extended  each  year  for an
additional  one-year term unless either party gives notice of termination  three
months prior to expiration  of the current term.  The contract may be terminated
earlier by either party in the event of a material breach by the other party.

         If the agreement  between Wong's and EXECUTONE should be terminated for
any  reason,  or if Wong's is unable to ship or has to reduce  shipments,  or if
restrictions  are  imposed  materially  limiting  the  importation  of  products
produced by foreign manufacturers, the Company could be affected adversely until
satisfactory  alternative sources are in place. The profitability of EXECUTONE's
operations  could be  affected  to the extent it is unable to reflect the direct
and indirect costs of products  purchased  from Wong's in its pricing  policies.
The prices for products purchased by EXECUTONE from its suppliers are payable in
U.S.


                                          11

dollars.

         The  majority  of  EXECUTONE's   specialized  healthcare  and  internal
communication  systems  are  produced  in the  United  States  at the  Company's
facility in Poway,  California or at domestic  subcontractors.  The functions of
repair,  warehousing and distribution of the Company's products are performed at
the Company's facilities in Poway.


Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights

         Management   believes  that  the  continued  success  of  EXECUTONE  is
dependent upon the ability to design, develop and market new products and new or
enhanced applications. The patentability of such new products or applications is
evaluated and patent  applications  are filed where  necessary to protect unique
developments.  The Company  currently holds eight utility  patents,  expiring at
various times between 2007 and 2012, has 13 U.S.  patent  applications  pending,
and seven patent applications pending in numerous foreign countries.

         The Company has registered or applied to register its  trademarks  when
it believes registration to be important to its ongoing business operations. The
Company  also  generally  claims  copyright  protection  for  software,  circuit
designs,  schematics  and technical  documentation  used in connection  with its
products,  and relies upon trade secret,  contract and copyright laws to protect
its proprietary rights in its software, designs and documentation.

         Certain of  EXECUTONE's  products  incorporate  technology and software
licensed from  independent  third parties.  Generally,  these  licenses  require
payment  of a royalty  for each  system  sold  that  incorporates  the  licensed
technology or require that the Company purchase the product from the licensor.


Government Regulation

         Many of the  Company's  systems  are  designed to be  connected  to the
public  telecommunications  network  and as such are  required  to  comply  with
certain rules of the Federal  Communications  Commission  ("FCC")  pertaining to
telecommunications  equipment.  The  Company's  network  services are  generally
required to be  tariffed  and are subject to  regulation  by the public  utility
commissions  of  the  various  states  and by  the  FCC.  The  Company  has  not
experienced  any  material  adverse  effect on its business or  operations  as a
result of such regulation and compliance.

         Certain  uses of outbound  call  processing  systems are  regulated  by
federal and state law. Among other things, the FCC has adopted rules pursuant to
the Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act to protect  residential  telephone
subscribers' privacy rights to avoid receiving telephone  solicitations to which
they  object.  Certain  states have  enacted  similar  laws  limiting  access to
telephone subscribers who object to receiving solicitations. Although compliance
with these laws may limit the potential use of the Company's  predictive  dialer
systems in some respects, the Company's systems can be programmed to operate


                                          12




<PAGE>
<PAGE>



automatically  in full compliance with these laws through the use of appropriate
calling lists and calling campaign time parameters.

         To the extent the Company markets its products  internationally,  it is
required to comply with applicable foreign law,  including  certification of its
products by appropriate government regulatory organizations.


Competition

         The  market  segments  in which the  Company  offers its  products  and
services are highly competitive.  The under 300-desktop voice processing segment
in the United States, the primary market for the Company's  telephony  division,
is served by many domestic and foreign  communications  equipment  manufacturers
and distributors,  including Lucent  Technologies (the former equipment business
of AT&T),  Nortel  (formerly  named  Northern  Telecom),  and the Regional  Bell
Operating  Companies (the  "RBOCs"),  as well as numerous  specialized  software
companies.  The  Company  believes  that it may be  third  in  telephone  system
shipments to the under  300-desktop voice processing  market,  after AT&T/Lucent
and Nortel,  based on industry surveys of 1994 data.  However,  such information
may not be sufficient to make an exact  assessment of the Company's  competitive
position  relative  to its  competitors.  Similarly,  the Company  faces  strong
competition in network services,  including AT&T, MCI, Sprint, and numerous long
distance resellers. Although the Company can be competitive on price compared to
several of these companies,  many of EXECUTONE's  competitors have substantially
more capital, technology and marketing resources than the Company.

         Competition  in the Company's  market  segments is expected to increase
significantly  with passage in February  1996 of the  Telecommunications  Act of
1996 (the "Act"). Under the Act,  long-distance  companies,  cable companies and
others will be  permitted  to compete  with local  telephone  companies to offer
local service.  The RBOCs and other local telephone  companies will be permitted
to offer long-distance  services if their local market meets certain criteria to
measure the existence of local competition.

         The Company  believes its call center division is in a good competitive
position  although to date it has not  penetrated a significant  portion of this
market.  The Company  believes  it is  currently  the only vendor that  supplies
inbound, outbound and administrative call processing integrated with a telephone
system platform.

         The Company's  principal  competitors in healthcare  communications are
Hill-Rom Company, DuKane and Rauland-Borg.  The Company believes it has a strong
competitive position in nurse call and locator products.

         The   Company   believes   that   it   has   several   competitors   in
videoconferencing  but is not yet  able to  estimate  its  competitive  position
relative to such competitors.

         The Company competes by offering a full array of integrated


                                          13




<PAGE>
<PAGE>



telecommunication  products  and  services to its  customers.  The Company  also
competes  on the basis of the quality of its  products,  its  customer  service,
nationwide distribution and installation, and price.


Employees

         As of March 1, 1996,  EXECUTONE employed  approximately  2,400 persons,
directly and through its subsidiaries.  Approximately 5% of the employees of the
Company  and its  subsidiaries  are  represented  by  unions,  all of which  are
represented by the International  Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.  Management
believes that the Company's relations with its employees are good.

ITEM 2.                    PROPERTIES

         EXECUTONE's  principal  offices are located in two leased  buildings in
Milford,  Connecticut. The Company has sales offices, warehouses,  manufacturing
and  distribution  facilities  throughout the United States.  As of December 31,
1995, the Company  utilized 73 facilities in the United States with an aggregate
of approximately 792,000 square feet for its ongoing operations.

         The Company's facilities are occupied under lease agreements except for
one facility.  This Company-owned  building is approximately 15,000 square feet,
and is used for a direct sales and service  office.  The current annual rent for
the Company's  facilities  is  approximately  $9.2 million.  The Company has one
facility  totaling  approximately  14,000 square feet of space that is no longer
used in ongoing operations and is subleased.

         The Company believes its facilities are adequate and generally suitable
for its business  requirements at the present time and for the immediate future.
The following is a brief description of the primary facilities of the Company.

ITEM 3.                    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   
         On October 16, 1995, the Coeur d 'Alene Tribe filed an action  entitled
Coeur d'Alene Tribe v. AT&T Corp. in the Tribal Court, located in Plummer, Idaho
(Case No. C195-097),  requesting a ruling that the NIL is legal under IGRA, that
IGRA preempts state laws on the subject of Indian gaming,  and the NIL cannot be
blocked by state  action,  and an  injunction  preventing  AT&T from refusing to
provide  telephone service to the NIL. This action was necessary because several
network  carriers  have  been  sent  Section  1084  letters  under  the  Federal
Communications  Act by states  opposed to the NIL.  These letters state that the
NIL is illegal  under state and federal  laws and  prohibit  the  carriers  from
carrying network traffic for the NIL. The telephone operations of the NIL cannot
begin until  resolution of this proceeding and agreement of a network carrier to
carry the network  traffic of the NIL. On February  28,  1996,  the Tribal Court
ruled that all


                                          15




<PAGE>
<PAGE>



requirements  of IGRA have been  satisfied,  that the Section  1084  letters are
invalid,  and that AT&T is obligated to provide  telephone  service for the NIL.
This ruling and a related order dated  May  1, 1996  are being appealed  to  the
Tribal  Appellate  Court and  probably  will be  appealed  to  the United States
federal  courts as  well.  The  Company has been advised by its outside counsel,
Hunton  &  Williams,  that  based  upon  such  firm's review of  the  applicable
statutes, regulations and case law, it believes that the National Indian Lottery
is authorized  under  IGRA  and  that the favorable rulings issued by the  Coeur
D'Alene Tribal Court on February 28, and May 1, 1996 should be upheld on appeal.
However,  this litigation, as well as other litigation which could be brought by
states  opposed  to the  NIL,  could delay commencement of operations, and it is
impossible at this time to predict  when the NIL will  commence  operations. The
Company  does  not believe the outcome of this  litigation  will have a material
adverse effect on the  Company's  consolidated financial  position,   results of
operations  or liquidity.
    

         The Company  currently is a named defendant in a number of lawsuits and
is a party to a number  of other  proceedings  that have  arisen  in the  normal
course of its business.  Those lawsuits and proceedings  relate primarily to the
collection of indebtedness owed to the Company, the performance of products sold
by the Company,  and various contract  disputes.  In the opinion of the Company,
these  proceedings  are not  expected to have a material  adverse  effect on the
consolidated  financial  position,  results of  operations  or  liquidity of the
Company and, to the extent they are not covered by insurance,  reserves adequate
to satisfy such liabilities have been established.



ITEM 4.                    SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF
SECURITY HOLDERS

         No matter was  submitted  to a vote of  security  holders in the fourth
quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.

attended.   The  Company  also   reimburses   directors  for  their  travel  and
accommodation expenses incurred in attending Board meetings.

         In addition,  each non-employee  director is granted annually an option
to purchase shares of the Company's  Common Stock under the terms and conditions
of the Company's 1990 Directors'  Stock Option Plan approved by the shareholders
on June 20,  1990.  During  June  1995,  each  outside  director  was  granted a
five-year  option for 3,000 shares at a per share exercise  price of $2.50,  the
closing market price on the date of grant. Each  non-employee  director was also
granted an additional five-year option ( for 12,300 shares at $3.15 per share in

other non-employee  directors)  pursuant to an amendment to the Plan approved by
the Board of Directors in November 1995, subject to approval by the shareholders
of the Company at the 1996 Annual Meeting. These options were granted at a price
equal to 120% of the  closing  market  price of the Common  Stock on the date of
grant.  The number of shares  granted to each director under the amended Plan is
determined by reference to an annual formula designed to award each


                                 22

director  five-year options having a value of $10,000 based on the Black-Scholes
option valuation model and the current price of the Company's Common Stock.

          As of March 31,  1996,  options to  purchase  39,000  shares of Common
Stock were outstanding under the 1990 terms of the Plan, and options to purchase
an  additional  52,200  shares  were  outstanding  under  the  amendment  to the
Directors' Stock Option Plan subject to shareholder approval of the amendment at
the 1996 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.  Under the Plan as amended,  subject to
shareholder  approval,  options to purchase  140,800  shares were  available for
future grant under the Directors' Stock Option Plan.

     On  February  1, 1996,  June 23,  1992 and  September  24,  1992,  Jerry M.
Seslowe,  Richard S. Rosenbloom and William R. Smart were each granted  warrants
to purchase  25,000  shares of the  Company's  Common Stock at $2.63,  $1.25 and
$1.16, respectively, the closing market prices on those dates. The warrants vest
ratably over a three-year  period and expire on February 1, 2001,  June 23, 1997
and September 24, 1997,  respectively.  Messrs.  Seslowe,  Rosenbloom  and Smart

                    In connection with the Company's acquisition of Unistar, the
Company paid or agreed to pay Resource  Holdings  Ltd, a former  shareholder  of
Unistar,  accrued  investment  banking  fees  incurred  by Unistar  prior to the
acquisition of $105,000,  and total finder's fees of $320,000 based on the value
of the transaction.  Mr. Seslowe was elected a director of the Company after the
acquisition.  Both Resource  Holdings and Mr. Seslowe  acquired Common Stock and
Preferred  Stock of the Company in  exchange  for their  shares of Unistar.  Mr.
Seslowe is a managing  director of and owns more than 10% of Resource  Holdings.
The Company's  management  believes that the transactions with Resource Holdings
were on terms as favorable to the Company as could be expected from unaffiliated
third parties.

                    The Executive Stock  Incentive Plan (the  "Incentive  Plan")
approved by  shareholders  at the 1994 Annual Meeting was implemented in October
1994 with 30  employees  participating.  Under the terms of the  Incentive  Plan
eligible  employees  were granted the right to purchase  shares of the Company's
Common Stock at a price of $3.1875 per share.  Participating  employees financed
the purchases of these shares through loans by the Company's bank lenders at the
prime  rate  less  1/4%.  The  loans  are  fully-recourse  to the  participating
employees  but are  guaranteed  by  letters  of credit  from the  Company to the
lending banks.  The Company holds the purchased Common Stock as security for the
repayment  of  the  loans.  The  following  table  contains   information  about
borrowings  in excess of $60,000 by  executive  officers  that were  outstanding
during 1995 pursuant to the Incentive Plan that are guaranteed by the Company.

                    Insofar as indemnification  arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted  to  directors,  officers  and  controlling
persons of the registrant  pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,
the  registrant  has been  advised  that in the  opinion of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission such  indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities  Act of 1933 and is,  therefore,  unenforceable.  In the event
that a claim  for  indemnification  against  such  liabilities  (other  than the
payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling  person of the registrant in the  successful  defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,  officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered,  the registrant will, unless
in the  opinion  of its  counsel  the matter  has been  settled  by  controlling
precedent,  submit to the court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such  indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Reports on Form 8-K

                    The  Registrant  filed no  reports  on Form 8-K  during  the
quarter ended December 31, 1995.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


INTRODUCTION

The Company's revenues are primarily derived from sales of its products and
services through a worldwide network of direct and independent sales and service
offices. The Company's end-user revenues are derived from two primary sources:
(1) sales of systems to new customers, which include sales of
application-specific software options ("product revenues"), and (2) servicing
the end-user base through the upgrade, expansion, enhancement (which includes
sales of application-specific software options), and maintenance of previously
installed systems, as well as revenues from the INFOSTAR'r'/LD+ program ("base
revenues"). Base revenues usually generate higher operating income margin than
initial sales of systems, since the Company's selling expenses for base revenues
are lower than those for initial system sales. Sales of the Company's
application-specific software options and related services generally produce a
higher operating income margin than both system sales and base revenues due to
the added performance value and relatively low production costs of such
proprietary software and services.

During the year, the Company reorganized its business into divisions, with each
division focusing on different products and market segments. The discussion
which follows under the heading "Company Restructuring" will detail the change
in the Company's strategy which led to the restructuring, the resulting
impairment of long-lived assets and other restructuring charges, along with an
overview of each division's operating performance in 1995 (comparative data is
not available on a divisional basis).


COMPANY RESTRUCTURING

Change in business strategy

In July 1995, the Company reorganized its business into five divisions: Computer
Telephony, Healthcare Communications Systems, Call Center Management ("CCM"),
Videoconferencing Products, and Network Services. The current strategic focus is
toward larger systems and software application-oriented products and away from
hardware-oriented telephone systems.

The business that was acquired in 1988 was a telephone equipment company that
focused its direct selling effort on office sites with fewer than 20 phones with
an emphasis on selling additional hardware to generate revenues in the form of
move, adds and changes ("MAC") and service, mainly on a time and material basis.
The average system size in the customer base at that time was in the 8-10 phone
range. It was originally expected in 1988 that the MAC and service revenues
generated by the customer base would be increasingly profitable as the base of
customers grew. After the acquisition, the Company began to develop more
advanced products which incorporated digital technology and more
software-oriented applications and expanded its product line to the high-end
user, with larger customers and more sophisticated products to serve customers'
total communications needs. After a thorough review and analysis, it was
determined that direct selling of the smaller, hardware-oriented portion of the
telephony business was not profitable. This led to a definitive change in the
Company's business strategy which was announced on July 11, 1995. As a result of
the change in strategy and based upon the requirements of FAS No. 121 (see
section entitled "Impairment of goodwill and related service stock" which
follows), the Company recorded a $44.0 million provision for restructuring
consisting of a $33.5 million goodwill impairment, an $8.8 million writedown of
inventory, primarily service stock relating to the impaired assets and other
non-recurring inventory adjustments, $0.9 million related to the shutdown of the
Company's Scottsdale, Arizona facility and $0.8 million of other unusual items.

The strategy the Company is now pursuing is to focus on software solutions. With
the Integrated Digital System platform (Systems 108, 228, 432 and 648), which
was developed post-acquisition, the Company's product lines now provide
sophisticated software applications, including Integrated Voice Mail, Call
Center Applications (ACD, IVR's and Predictive Dialers), Locating Devices, Nurse
Call and Computer Telephony Interfaces which drive the computer telephony
products, videoconferencing equipment and network services.

The change in the nature and complexity of the Company's product lines has
changed the way it has to market its products. Unlike many companies in this
industry that focus on one particular product to one market, the Company



<PAGE>
<PAGE>

provides multiple products and applications to its particular markets. This
requires expertise in each particular market segment because the Company's
competitors are primarily one-product companies who are experts in their
particular market niche. Therefore, the Company has consolidated the sales,
marketing and product development functions for each market segment under a
divisional management structure, headed by a division president. The sales force
has been restructured such that each sales person is assigned to a specific
division and will sell only products associated with that division. The
specialization of the sales force included the addition of sales representatives
with the necessary product and market expertise, as well as substantial
retraining for the remaining sales representatives.

Impairment of goodwill and related service stock

Once the Company decided to restructure and focus on sophisticated systems in
the computer telephony division, it reevaluated the realizability of goodwill
and the related service stock using the recently issued FAS No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets," issued in March 1995. FAS No. 121
requires the Company to project the lowest level of identifiable future cash
flows for purposes of determining whether there has been an impairment in
long-lived assets. The business acquired in 1988 would not generate future cash
flows sufficient to realize the goodwill and service stock on the Company's
balance sheet.

Prior to the second quarter of 1995 and the issuance of FAS No. 121, the Company
periodically reviewed the realizability of goodwill on the basis of whether the
goodwill was fully recoverable from projected, undiscounted net cash flows for
the business as a whole, which included both the smaller hardware-oriented
systems and the larger, sophisticated software-application telephony systems.
Undiscounted cash flows for the business as a whole were used because the
general rule under APB 17 was that goodwill and similar intangible assets could
not be disposed of apart from the enterprise as a whole, unless the Company sold
or otherwise liquidated a large segment or separable group of assets of the
acquired company. Based upon this evaluation, goodwill was not determined to be
impaired. The management decision discussed above to focus on the high end of
the telephony market caused the impairment of long-lived assets, which was
measured using the criteria of FAS No. 121.

Computer Telephony

The computer telephony division provides value-added products and services. The
Company's integrated digital telephone systems emphasize flexible software
applications, such as data switching and computer telephone interface, designed
to enhance the customer's ability to communicate, obtain and manage information.
The Company's telephone systems provide the platform for its other voice
processing software applications, such as voice messaging systems and ACD.

The computer telephony division remains the Company's largest contributor to
revenues and profits. Revenues for 1995 were $233 million, unchanged from the
prior year. The Company's base revenues, especially MAC and service, continued
their historical growth offset by a lower level of new installations during the
year. In addition, the division incurred transition costs related to the
restructuring which increased its operating expenses in 1995.

Healthcare Communications

The healthcare communications division provides to its hospital customers
integration of the flow of voice and data between nurse and patient, increased
flexibility and efficiency in hospital operations, and the means to improve
patient care.

Healthcare division revenues increased almost 15% during 1995 to $29 million.
Although there has been revenue growth due to the divisionalization of this
business in the beginning of 1995, the introduction of new products lowered
margins approximately $0.8 million due to higher introductory manufacturing
costs. The Company has transitioned the nurse call product line in 1995 with the
development of the LifeSaver'tm' and CareCom'r' IIE products. The higher 1995
manufacturing costs were due to the fact that offshore production was delayed
due to the fire at the Company's production facility. These products were
scheduled for transfer from the Company's pre-production facility in Poway,
California, but the fire caused a delay in that transfer for almost one year.
These products are now offshore and higher margins are anticipated, commencing
in the first half of 1996.


<PAGE>
<PAGE>

Although the nurse call product line was transitioned in 1995, the Company
estimates that there is a customer base of approximately 8,500 systems. Taking
into account historical usage, the Company believes it has appropriate levels of
inventory on hand to support the servicing of the previously installed products.

CCM

The Call Center division develops and sells sophisticated telephony products
that integrate a computerized digital telephone system platform with high-volume
inbound, outbound and internal call processing systems. Such systems include
automatic call distribution systems, predictive dialers, scripting software to
assist agents handling calls, and interactive voice response systems.

In 1995, the Company established the divisional management structure and made
product improvements which are hoped to increase revenues in 1996 along with
improving profit margins. During 1995, the Company issued the latest release of
the predictive dialer product, which is a more competitive product from a price
and feature standpoint than its predecessor. In addition, the Interactive Voice
Response ("IVR") product, which had previously been produced by a third party,
has been replaced with a Company-manufactured product which should result in
higher gross profit margins. Backlog at the end of 1995 was at a record level
which should translate into a strong first half of 1996.

Videoconferencing Products

The videoconferencing division provides videoconferencing network services such
as multipoint conferencing, network bridging and network design to its
customers.

1995 was a startup year for the videoconferencing division. In addition to the
costs incurred to build a management team and sales force, divisional revenues
did not grow as quickly as anticipated because of delays by suppliers in
providing a competitively-priced product until the fourth quarter of 1995. The
process of establishing demo sites and hiring a dedicated sales force has almost
been completed.

Network Services

The network services division offers cost-effective voice and data long-distance
service, least-cost routing, network design and network support services,
enabling customers to make more efficient and cost-effective use of their
telecommunications systems.

Revenues were $24 million in 1995, a decrease from the previous year, but
profits increased due to a negotiated rate reduction from the carrier. Revenues
are down due to competitive pressures in the marketplace. The Company has met
this challenge with a division president and, with changes to incentive
compensation plans, has made long-distance sales as important to the Company's
sales managers as selling equipment. There are now 35 dedicated sales
representatives and 4 regional sales managers to work with the equipment sales
representatives to package network and equipment sales properly. As a result,
bookings at the end of 1995 were at their highest level for the entire year,
which are expected to translate into higher revenues in 1996.


1995 COMPARED TO 1994

Results of Operations

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995 were $296.4 million, a $4.4
million increase over the comparable 1994 period. Base revenues increased 2%
compared to 1994, primarily due to increases in system upgrades and expansions
and increased revenue from maintenance contracts, partially offset by lower
volume generated by the INFOSTAR'r'/LD+ program. Product revenues increased 1%
compared to 1994, as the increase in new installations of healthcare products
and in shipments to the independent sales and service offices were partially
offset by a decrease in new telephony installations.

Cost of revenues consists of direct manufacturing costs, indirect installation
and service costs and other costs such as warehousing, software manufacturing
and quality inspection. Direct manufacturing costs are the primary component of
cost of revenues and are accounted for as direct costs related to specific base
and product revenues. Those costs other


<PAGE>
<PAGE>

than direct manufacturing costs are treated as fixed cost overhead and are not
allocated specifically to base or product categories. Therefore, changes in
gross profit can be measured based upon the pricing margin (revenue less direct
manufacturing costs) on a product line basis and by the overall level of fixed
cost overhead relative to total revenue. Gross profit, as a percentage of
revenues, decreased slightly from 41.9% during 1994 to 41.5% during 1995 due to
a combination of factors including product mix, higher introductory
manufacturing costs for the healthcare products and a lower absorption of fixed
cost overhead.

Operating income, excluding the provision for restructuring, decreased $4.9
million compared to 1994 and, as a percentage of revenues, was 2.6% compared to
4.3% in 1994. The decrease in operating income is primarily due to increased
operating expenses during 1995. Product development and engineering increased
$2.5 million during 1995 as the Company continues to accelerate its investment
in engineering for new product development and application-specific software
products. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.8 million
during the year, primarily representing the full year cost impact of the
divisional supporting management and sales structure.

Interest expense increased during 1995 due to higher average borrowing levels on
the revolving credit facility and increases in the Company's prime borrowing
rate during 1995. Other income, net increased primarily as a result of the 1995
gains on the sales of the customer bases in Wisconsin and Iowa and the related
direct sales offices, totaling $1.2 million.

During the first quarter of 1995, the Company was involved in extensive
negotiations to acquire the Dictaphone division of Pitney Bowes ("Dictaphone").
In April 1995, the acquisition was awarded to another bidder. The Company
incurred approximately $1 million in fees and expenses related to the attempted
acquisition which were recognized in the second and third quarters of 1995.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company
recorded a net tax benefit of $2.3 million. This is comprised of $4.2 million of
tax benefit recognized as a result of the non-goodwill related portion of the
restructuring provision, partially offset by the $1.9 million tax provision on
earnings, excluding the restructuring provision. No tax benefit was recognized
on the goodwill portion of the provision for restructuring since it is not
deductible for tax purposes. The net tax benefit for the year was recorded as an
increase to the deferred tax asset reflecting additional tax benefits to be
utilized in the future. As of December 31, 1995, the deferred tax asset of $29.6
million represents the expected benefits to be received from the utilization of
tax benefit carryforwards which will result in the payment of minimal taxes in
the near future. The Company believes that the deferred tax asset will more
likely than not be recognized in the carryforward period. The Company had no
significant tax liability for the year ended December 31, 1995.

In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." The Company will adopt the new pronouncement in fiscal year 1996
and has yet to decide whether it will record compensation cost or provide pro
forma disclosure.

Acquisition of Unistar Gaming Corporation

On December 19, 1995, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock of Unistar
Gaming Corporation ("Unistar") for 3.7 million shares of the Company's common
stock and 350,000 shares of newly issued preferred stock. Unistar,
privately-held prior to the acquisition, has an exclusive five-year contract to
design, develop, finance, and manage the National Indian Lottery ("NIL"). See
Note L of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the terms of the
agreement.

Management believes the Unistar business is a natural extension of its telephony
and call center businesses. Calls via an 800 number will be processed with IVR
equipment or live agents located on the Coeur d'Alene Indian Tribe of Idaho
("CDA") Reservation using ACD software to process nationwide wagering activity.
The Company has made a significant investment in Unistar, which initially
created 8% dilution to the Company's shareholders and will require possibly up
to $2 million to $3 million of cash prior to the resolution of the pending legal
issues discussed below. However, in the opinion of the Company's management,
this investment is justified based upon the potential returns.

In an attempt to block the NIL, certain states filed letters under 18 U.S.C.
Section 1084 to prevent the long-distance carriers from providing telephone
service to the NIL. The CDA initiated legal action to compel the long-distance
carriers to provide telephone service to the NIL. The CDA's position is that the
lottery is authorized by the Indian Gaming


<PAGE>
<PAGE>

Regulatory Act ("IGRA") passed by Congress in 1988, that IGRA preempts state and
federal statutes, and that the states lack authority to issue the Section 1084
notification letters to any carrier. On February 28, 1996, the NIL was ruled
lawful by the CDA Tribal Court. The CDA Tribal Court found that all requirements
of IGRA have been satisfied and that the Section 1084 letters issued by certain
state attorneys general in an effort to interfere with the lawful operation of
the NIL are invalid. In addition, the Court found that the long-distance
carriers cannot refuse to provide the service requested in the action based upon
18 U.S.C. Section 1084. Any appeal of this ruling must be filed by May 31, 1996.
The Company expects this ruling will be appealed, but believes that the CDA's
position will be upheld.

Other than legal costs related to an appeal of the CDA Tribal Court ruling or
other actions by the states, if any, the Company estimates that the additional
costs to become operational may amount to between $5-10 million. Operational
capital includes capital expenditures for computers and software to build the
telecommunications system, funds to complete the building on the CDA reservation
which will be the operations center for the lottery, and various start-up
expenses including personnel-related costs and advertising expenses. The Company
is also required to make a guaranteed payment of $300,000 per year to the CDA.
The estimate of operating capital does not include a $4 million jackpot reserve
which could be required dependent upon certain conditions. If the Company
ultimately must fund a jackpot reserve, it will be repaid to Unistar solely from
NIL net revenues in equal installments over the term of the contract. The
Company expects it will be able to obtain additional financing for these costs,
if necessary.

The Company believes there is a national market for the NIL based upon research
into the experience of other national lotteries and the growth of the overall
lottery market. However, there is no assurance that there will be acceptance of
a telephone lottery.


Subsequent Events

On April 9, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to sell substantially
all of the Direct Sales and Services Group, including its long-distance reseller
business and National Service Center, for $67.4 million to an acquisition
company led by Bain Capital, Inc. (See Note N of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for the terms of the agreement.) The sale is expected to
close on May 31, 1996, subject to the buyer's financing and other conditions.
The agreement also provides that the Company and the buyer will enter into a
five-year exclusive distribution agreement under which the buyer will sell and
service the Company's telephony equipment to those businesses and commercial
locations that require up to 400 telephones.

   
The sale does not include the Pittsburgh direct sales and service office, which
the Company has agreed to sell to one of its existing independent
distributors for approximately $1.3 million in cash and notes. The sale of the
direct Sales and Service Group (including the separate sale of the Pittsburgh
office) relates primarily to the retail distribution channel of the Computer
Telephony division and includes the entire network services division. After the
sale, the Computer Telephony division will consist of telephony products sales
to independent distributors, of which the newly-formed Bain company will be the
largest distributor, along with the National Accounts and Federal Systems
marketing groups. The Company will retain its Healthcare Communications and
Call Center Management businesses and the recently acquired Unistar business.
    

In 1995, the Direct Sales and Services Group, including the long-distance
reseller business, had revenues of $191 million. On a pro forma basis, after
giving effect to the transaction, the Company's 1995 revenues would be
approximately $157 million. This includes $42 million in sales to the Direct
Sales and Services Group which were eliminated in the 1995 Statement of
Operations.

On April 10, 1996, the Company announced that it had given notice of its
termination of its distribution agreement with GPT Video Systems due to failures
by GPT to deliver properly-functioning videoconferencing products on a timely
basis. The Company is negotiating an agreement with a third party to sell its
videoconferencing business. Terms of the contract have yet to be finalized.


1994 COMPARED TO 1993

Results of Operations

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1994 were 7% higher than the
comparable 1993 period. Base revenues for 1994 increased 12% over 1993 primarily
due to volume increases generated by the INFOSTAR'r'/LD+ program, increased
sales of system upgrades and expansions and increased revenue from maintenance
contracts. Product revenues


<PAGE>
<PAGE>

for 1994 increased 3% over 1993 primarily due to increased sales of voice
processing products and sales decreases in non-voice processing applications and
healthcare revenue.

Gross profit increased $11.5 million compared to 1993, with the gross profit as
a percentage of total revenues increasing to 41.9% from 40.9%. The increases
were a result of the continuing favorable product mix of increased base revenue
and voice processing products. Voice processing and base revenues in 1994
accounted for 71% of the sales volume compared to 64% in 1993, indicating the
Company's shifting emphasis to market value-added products to the customer base
and increase sales of application-specific software products.

Operating income increased $1.4 million during 1994 and, as a percentage of
total revenues, was 4.3% compared to 4.1% for 1993. The increase in operating
income as a percentage of total revenues was primarily related to the increase
in gross profit margin, partially offset by continuing investments in the sales
force and sales support personnel, technical marketing support and product
development and engineering expenses for the development and sale of the new
higher margin products.

The decrease in interest expense during 1994 was primarily due to the favorable
impact of a lower level of bank borrowings.

For the year ended December 31, 1994, the Company recorded a provision for
income taxes of $3.3 million. Approximately 88% or $2.9 million of the total tax
provision was recorded as a reduction of the deferred tax asset to reflect the
utilization of tax benefits. As a result of the utilization of these benefits,
the Company had no significant tax liability for the year ended December 31,
1994. In addition, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.5
million, relating to discontinued operations, which also reduced the deferred
tax asset. During 1994, the Company adjusted its valuation allowance, resulting
in an increase in the deferred tax asset of $6.5 million, $5.2 million of which
was a reduction of goodwill as it related to pre-acquisition tax benefits and
$1.3 million of which reduced the 1994 provision for income taxes. The basis for
the adjustment of the valuation allowance was a significant increase in pre-tax
income from $7.6 million in 1993 to $10.0 million in 1994.

In December 1993, a fire occurred at the Company's main subcontractor's
production facility in Shinzen, China, causing inventory shortages during the
first six months of 1994. The production problems were largely alleviated by the
Company's ability to increase its own production and find alternative
manufacturing sources. In July 1994, the Company recovered $4 million from its
insurance carrier for additional direct costs related to the emergency
production situation.

As of March 31, 1994, the Company sold its Vodavi Communications Systems
Division ("VCS"), which sold telephone equipment to supply houses and dealers, a
different class of customer from continuing operations, under the brand names
STARPLUS'r' and INFINITE'tm', for approximately $10.9 million. Proceeds of the
sale consisted of approximately $9.7 million in cash, received in April 1994,
and a $1.2 million note, the proceeds of which were received in September 1995.
The proceeds were used to reduce borrowings under the Company's revolving credit
facility. The sale resulted in an after-tax gain of $604,000 (net of income tax
provision of $403,000). Consolidated financial statements for the years ended
December 31, 1994 and 1993 present VCS as a discontinued operation. Net revenues
of the discontinued operation for 1994, through the date of sale, and 1993 were
$8.6 million and $31.6 million, respectively.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's liquidity is represented by cash, cash equivalents and cash
availability under its existing credit facilities. The Company's liquidity was
$23 million, $30 million and $29 million as of December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

At December 31, 1995 and 1994, cash and cash equivalents amounted to $8.1
million and $7.8 million, respectively, or 8% of current assets. During the year
ended December 31, 1995, net cash was used to fund $3.9 million of operating
activities, purchase $3.5 million of capital equipment, repay $0.6 million of
debt and for other payments of $0.8 million. Cash was generated through $5.2
million of additional borrowings, $1.6 million in proceeds from the issuance of
stock, receipt of a $1.2 million note payment from the sale of VCS and $0.8
million in other proceeds. Cash used in operating activities during 1995
included $14.3 million in funding of working capital, primarily due to the high
level of accounts payable at the end of 1994 generated by inventory purchases
during the last quarter of 1994. The decrease in cash generated by operating
activities compared to 1994 is primarily due to the decrease in operating
income, excluding the


<PAGE>
<PAGE>

provision for restructuring, the funding of $1.0 million in cash expenses
relating to the attempted acquisition of Dictaphone and additional interest
payments of $0.8 million.

Total debt at December 31, 1995 was $30.8 million, an increase of $5.3 million
from $25.5 million at December 31, 1994. The increase in debt is due to $4.5
million in higher bank borrowings, $0.8 million in other borrowings, a $0.4
million capital lease obligation incurred in connection with equipment
acquisitions and an increase to the carrying value of the convertible
subordinated debentures of $0.2 million due to accretion. The additional
borrowings in 1995 were used to reduce the high level of accounts payable at the
end of 1994 generated by inventory purchases during the last quarter of 1994.
During the year, the Company made long-term debt and capital lease repayments of
$0.6 million.

The Company's secured credit facility (the "Credit Facility") was amended in
December 1995. The $45 million Credit Facility expires in August 1999 and
consists of a revolving line of credit providing for direct borrowings and up to
$15 million in letters of credit. Direct borrowings and letter of credit
advances are made available pursuant to a formula based on the levels of
eligible accounts receivable and inventories. The Credit Facility agreement
contains certain restrictive covenants which include, among other things, a
prohibition on the declaration or payment of any cash dividends on common stock,
minimum ratios of operating income to interest and fixed charges, and a maximum
ratio of total liabilities to net worth as well as certain restrictions on
start-up expenditures relating to Unistar and the NIL. Interest rates are also
subject to adjustment based upon certain financial ratios. During 1995, the
Company was in compliance with all such financial covenants. The Credit Facility
is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. Refer to Note D of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of February 16, 1996, there were $13.4 million of direct borrowings and $14.9
million of letters of credit outstanding and $15.2 million of additional
borrowings available under the Credit Facility. Required principal payments for
debt in 1996 are $0.9 million. The Company believes that borrowings under the
Credit Facility and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet working
capital and other requirements for 1996.

EXECUTONE INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND FORMATION OF THE COMPANY

EXECUTONE Information Systems, Inc. (the "Company") designs, manufactures,
sells, installs, supports and services voice processing systems and provides
cost-effective long-distance telephone service and videoconferencing services.
The Company is also a leading supplier of specialized hospital communications
equipment. Products are sold under the EXECUTONE'r', INFOSTAR'r', IDS'tm',
LIFESAVER'tm', and INFOSTAR/ILS'tm' brand names through a worldwide network of
direct and independent sales and service offices. The Company's products are
manufactured primarily in the United States, Hong Kong, China and the Dominican
Republic.

The Company was formed in July 1988 through the merger of ISOETEC
Communications, Inc. ("ISOETEC") with Vodavi Technology Corporation ("Vodavi").
The merger of ISOETEC into Vodavi was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting and Vodavi was deemed to have undergone a quasi-reorganization for
accounting purposes. As of July 1988, Vodavi's accumulated deficit of
approximately $49.7 million was eliminated. Executone, Inc. was acquired in 1988
from Contel Corporation ("Contel") for promissory notes and cash.


NOTE B - PROVISION FOR RESTRUCTURING

In July 1995, the Company reorganized its business into five divisions: Computer
Telephony, Healthcare Communications Systems, Call Center Management,
Videoconferencing Products, and Network Services and changed its business
strategy in the Computer Telephony division. The current strategic focus is on
software applications in the communications market. The business that was
acquired in 1988 was a telephone equipment hardware company focused on customers
with small systems, with an emphasis on selling additional hardware and service
to generate add-on revenue. Under the current strategy, the business acquired in
1988 is being de-emphasized. The Company adopted FAS No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets," which was issued in March 1995, requiring
impairment to be measured by projecting the lowest level of identifiable future
cash flows. The Company concluded there was an impairment. As a result, the
Company recorded a $44.0 million provision for restructuring consisting of a
$33.5 million goodwill impairment, an $8.8 million writedown of inventory,
primarily service stock relating to the impaired assets and other non-recurring
inventory adjustments, $0.9 million related to the shutdown of the Company's
Scottsdale, Arizona facility and $0.8 million of other unusual items.

In accordance with the provisions of FAS No. 121, the Company prepared
projections of future operating cash flows relating to the telephony business
acquired in 1988 based upon the Company's new strategic direction. These
projections indicated that this business would not generate sufficient operating
cash flows to realize goodwill and the related service stock. The amount of
impairment of the telephony goodwill was $33.5 million as of June 30, 1995.

The write-off of inventory, primarily service stock, consisted of $1.3 million
of raw materials inventory and $7.5 million of finished goods inventory. These
amounts were determined based upon a review of specific inventory parts along
with current and projected usage, incorporating the strategic direction of the
Company. The Company will continue to maintain adequate levels of service stock
for the telephony hardware customer base which will be amortized over the
estimated product/service life of the related systems.


NOTE C - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. In consolidating the accompanying
financial statements, all significant intercompany transactions have been
eliminated. Investments in affiliated companies owned more than 20%, but not in
excess of 50%, are recorded on the equity method. Certain prior year amounts
have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.


<PAGE>
<PAGE>


Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue on equipment sales and
software licenses to independent sales and service offices when shipped. Revenue
from equipment, software and installation contracts with end-users is recognized
when the contract or contract phase for major installations is substantially
completed.

Revenue derived from the sale of service contracts is amortized ratably over the
service contract period on a straight-line basis.

Earnings Per Share. Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number
of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents (which include
stock options and warrants) outstanding during the period. Common stock
equivalents and the convertible debentures which are antidilutive have been
excluded from the computations.

Cash Equivalents. Cash equivalents include short-term investments with original
maturities of three months or less.

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out ("FIFO")
cost or market and consist of the following at December 31, 1995 and 1994:

</TABLE>

Finished goods include service stock which is amortized over the estimated
product/service life of the related systems.

Intangible Assets. Intangible assets represent the excess of the purchase price
of the predecessor companies acquired over the fair value of the net tangible
assets acquired. Effective April 1, 1995, the carrying value of intangibles is
evaluated periodically in accordance with the provisions of FAS No. 121 by
projecting the lowest level of future undiscounted net cash flows of the
underlying businesses. If the sum of such cash flows is less than the book value
of the long-lived assets, including intangibles, projected future cash flows are
discounted and intangibles are adjusted accordingly. Prior to April 1, 1995, the
carrying value of intangibles was evaluated in accordance with the provisions of
APB 17, and was based upon aggregate cash flows of the business as a whole.
Amortization is provided over periods ranging from 10 to 40 years. Intangible
assets at December 31, 1995 and 1994 are net of accumulated amortization of $0.8
million and $13.6 million, respectively.

Property and Equipment. Property and equipment at December 31, 1995 and 1994
consist of the following:

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic
useful lives of property and equipment which range from three to ten years for
equipment and thirty years for a building. Amortization, principally of
leasehold improvements, is provided over the life of the respective lease terms

Income Taxes. The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income
taxes as set forth in FAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under the
liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between
the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted
tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to
reverse.

(a) The Company's Credit Facility was amended in December 1995. The amended $45
million Credit Facility consists of a revolving line of credit providing for
direct borrowings and up to $15 million in letters of credit. Direct borrowings
and letter of credit advances are made available pursuant to a formula based on
the levels of eligible accounts receivable and inventories. To minimize interest
on the revolving line of credit, the Company has the option to borrow money
based upon an adjusted prime borrowing rate (9.0% at December 31, 1995) or at an
adjusted eurodollar rate (8.2% at December 31, 1995). The Company had $11.0
million and $8.0 million outstanding subject to the adjusted eurodollar rate at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, with the balance at the adjusted prime
borrowing rate. Prior to August 1994, interest on amounts outstanding under the
revolving line of credit were based upon the lender's prime rate. The


<PAGE>
<PAGE>

revolving line of credit expires in August 1999. Approximately $14.7 million was
available at December 31, 1995 under the revolving line of credit, including
approximately $14.9 million which was committed to cover outstanding letters of
credit. The unused portion of the line of credit has a commitment fee of 0.375%.
The Company's average outstanding indebtedness under the revolving line of
credit for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 was $17.4 million and
$13.1 million, respectively, and the average interest rate on such indebtedness
was 8.5% and 7.1%, respectively.

The Credit Facility agreement contains certain restrictive covenants which
include, among other things, a prohibition on the declaration or payment of any
cash dividends on common stock, minimum ratios of operating income to interest
and fixed charges, and a maximum ratio of total liabilities to net worth as well
as certain restrictions on start-up expenditures relating to Unistar and the NIL
(Refer to Note L). Interest rates are also subject to adjustment based upon
certain financial ratios. The Company was in compliance with all covenants in
1995. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the
Company.

(b) The Company's Convertible Subordinated Debentures (the "Debentures"), issued
in April 1986, are due March 15, 2011 and bear interest at 7 1/2%, payable March
15th and September 15th. The face value of the outstanding Debentures at
December 31, 1995 was $16.5 million. The face value of the Debentures was
adjusted to fair value in connection with the Company's 1988
quasi-reorganization. The Debentures are convertible at the option of the holder
into Common Stock of the Company at any time on or before March 15, 2011, unless
previously redeemed, at a conversion price of $10.625 per share, subject to
adjustment in certain events. Subject to certain restrictions, the Debentures
are redeemable in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at par in
1996. The Debentures are also subject to annual sinking fund payments of $1.5
million beginning March 15, 1997. In January 1992, $15 million principal amount
of Debentures with a book value of $10.1 million was exchanged for 674,865
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and 2,999,400 Common Stock Purchase
Warrants. Debentures converted in the debt-for-equity exchange and in connection
with Warrant exercises were delivered in lieu of cash in satisfying sinking fund
requirements. Thus, no cash sinking fund payment will be due until March 2008.

(c) The Company has entered into capital lease arrangements for office furniture
and data processing and test equipment with a net book value of approximately
$2.3 million and $2.4 million at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Such
leases have been capitalized using implicit interest rates which range from 8%
to 14%.

The following is a schedule of future maturities of long-term debt at December
31, 1995:

</TABLE>

The deferred tax asset represents the benefits expected to be realized from the
utilization of pre- and post-acquisition tax benefit carryforwards, which
include net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs"), tax credit carryforwards and
the excess of tax bases over fair value of the net assets of the Company. The
utilization of these tax benefits for financial reporting purposes will not be
reflected in the statement of operations, but will be reflected as a reduction
of the deferred tax asset.

In order to fully realize the remaining deferred tax asset of $29.6 million as
of December 31, 1995, the Company will need to generate future taxable income of
approximately $80 million prior to the expiration of the NOLs and tax credit
carryforwards. Although the Company believes that it is more likely than not
that the deferred tax asset will be fully realized based on current projections
of future pre-tax income, a valuation allowance has been provided for a portion
of the deferred tax asset. There was no significant adjustment to the valuation
allowance in 1995. During 1994, the Company adjusted its valuation allowance by
$6.5 million, $5.2 million of which was a reduction of goodwill as it related to
pre-acquisition tax benefits and $1.3 million of which reduced the 1994
provision for income taxes. During 1993, the Company adjusted its valuation
allowance by $4.8 million, $4.0 million of which was a reduction of goodwill as
it related to pre-acquisition tax benefits and $0.8 million of which reduced the
1993 provision for income taxes. The basis for the adjustments in 1994 and 1993
was a significant increase in pre-tax income from $4.3 million in 1992 to $10.0
million in 1994. Accordingly, historical earnings supported the realization of
the larger deferred tax asset. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered
realizable, however, could be reduced if estimates of future taxable income
during the carryforward period are reduced.

As of December 31, 1995, the Company has NOLs and tax credit carryforwards
(subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service) available to offset future
income for tax return purposes of approximately $69.3 million and $3.2 million,
respectively. A portion of the NOLs and tax credit carryforwards were generated
prior to the formation of the Company and their utilization is subject to
certain limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. The NOLs expire as

The permanent differences relate to the write-off (in 1995) and amortization of
goodwill, which are not deductible. Changes in temporary differences principally
relate to the impairment in service stock inventory (in 1995), inventory
reserves and other costs accrued for book purposes, but not deducted for tax
purposes until subsequently paid.

For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company made cash
payments of approximately $214,000, $485,000 and $96,000, respectively, for
income taxes.

Option prices under the Company's plans are equal to the market value of the
Common Stock on the dates the options are granted.

The Company has non-plan options outstanding at December 31, 1995 for 357,030
shares at prices ranging from $1.13 to $20.43 per share. These include options
for 300,000 shares granted to an officer by a predecessor company at a price of
$1.13 per share. Deferred compensation of $0.9 million was recorded for the
excess of the fair value over the exercise price at the date of grant and is
being amortized over 10 years ending in 1997. At December 31, 1995, all of the
non-plan options were exercisable. These options expire at various dates through
November 2000. Certain options include registration rights for the shares
issuable thereunder.

As of December 31, 1995, the Company has warrants outstanding which permit the
holder to purchase a total of 56,250 shares of Common Stock at prices ranging
from $1.06 to $1.25 per share, expiring through September 1997. Warrants were
exercised during the year ended December 31, 1994 for 860,919 shares of Common
Stock at prices ranging from $0.01 to $1.00 per share. Warrants were exercised
during the year ended December 31, 1993 for 9,700 shares of Common Stock at
$1.00 per share. At December 31, 1995, 39,584 warrants were exercisable.

In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." The Company will adopt the new pronouncement in fiscal year 1996
and has yet to decide whether it will record compensation cost or provide pro
forma disclosure.


NOTE I - EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

A total of 2,750,000 shares of Common Stock are authorized for issuance under
the Company's employee stock purchase plan. The plan permits eligible employees
to purchase up to 1,000 shares of Common Stock at the lower of 85% of the fair
market value of the Common Stock at the beginning or at the end of each
six-month offering period. Pursuant to such plan, 229,636, 209,512 and 168,097
shares were sold to employees during the three years ended December 31, 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively.

<PAGE>
<PAGE>


In 1994, the Company's shareholders adopted the 1994 Executive Stock Incentive
Plan, which enabled officers and other key employees to purchase a total of up
to 3,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. During 1995 and 1994,
participants purchased 140,000 and 2,745,000 shares of Common Stock,
respectively, at fair market value, which were financed through individual bank
borrowings at market interest rates by each participant, payable over five
years. The Company lends the employee 85% of the interest due to the bank, with
$759,000 of such loans outstanding as of December 31, 1995. There were no
amounts outstanding as of December 31, 1994. The Company guarantees the
individual borrowings under a $9.4 million letter of credit which has a minimal
impact on the Company's borrowing capability. Employee loans guaranteed by the
Company with letters of credit as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 were $9.2
million and $8.7 million, respectively. These shares are held by the Company as
security for the borrowings under a loan and pledge agreement. Sales of such
shares by participants are subject to certain restrictions, and, generally, they
may not be sold for five years.


NOTE J - SAVINGS AND POST-RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has a 401(k) Savings Plan under which it matches employee
contributions subject to the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. The
Company's matching contribution, consisting of shares of its Common Stock
purchased in the open market, is equal to 25% of each employee's contribution,
up to a maximum of $660 per employee. The expense for the matching contribution
for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 was approximately $687,000,
$500,000 and $372,000, respectively.

The Company has an obligation remaining from the acquisition of Executone, Inc.
to provide post-retirement health and life insurance benefits for a group of
fewer than 75 former Executone, Inc. employees, including seven current
employees of the Company. The Company does not provide post-retirement health or
life insurance benefits to any other employees. Effective January 1, 1993, the
Company adopted FAS No. 106, a standard on accounting for post-retirement
benefits other than pensions. This standard requires that the expected cost of
these benefits must be charged to expense during the years that employees render
services. The Company adopted the new standard prospectively and is amortizing
the transition obligation over a 20-year period.

Post-retirement benefit expense for the three years ended December 31, 1995
consists of the following:

In determining the APBO as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the weighted average
discount rate used was 7%. The Company used a healthcare cost trend rate of
approximately 11%, decreasing through 2006 and leveling off at 6% thereafter. A
1% increase in the healthcare trend rate would increase the APBO at December 31,
1995 by approximately 2% and increase the interest cost component of the
post-retirement benefit expense for 1995 by less than $10,000.

NOTE L - ACQUISITIONS/DISPOSITIONS

During the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company sold its customer bases in
Wisconsin and Iowa and the net assets of the related direct sales offices for a
total of $2.1 million, consisting of $125,000 cash, a $1.8 million note, the
proceeds of which were received in February 1996, and a $150,000 note due in
installments by November 2001. These sales generated a gain of approximately
$1.2 million, which is included in Other Income, Net for the year ended December
31, 1995.

On December 19, 1995, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock of Unistar
Gaming Corporation ("Unistar") for 3.7 million shares of the Company's common
stock and 350,000 shares of newly issued preferred stock. Unistar,
privately-held prior to the acquisition, has an exclusive five-year contract to
design, develop, finance, and manage the National Indian Lottery ("NIL"). The
NIL will be a national telephone lottery authorized by federal law and a compact
between the State of Idaho and the Coeur d'Alene Indian Tribe of Idaho ("CDA").
In return for providing these management services to the NIL, Unistar will be
paid a fee equal to 30% of the profits of the NIL. Unistar did not have any
assets or operations other than the NIL contract prior to its acquisition by the
Company.

The purchase price was approximately $12.7 million and was based upon the
determination by an investment banking firm of the value assigned to the common
and preferred stock. The common stock valuation was based upon the value of the
shares issued at the closing date, discounted for restrictions on the sale of
the shares, which range from six to twenty-six months. The preferred stock was
valued based upon the number of common shares which it was estimated that the
preferred shares may be converted into at some future date. The excess of the
purchase price over the value of the net liabilities assumed has been allocated
to the management agreement with the CDA and will be amortized over the
five-year term of the contract commencing with the first significant lottery
revenues.

The preferred stock consists of 250,000 shares of Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock, Series A ("Series A Preferred Stock") and 100,000 shares of
Cumulative Contingently Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B ("Series B
Preferred Stock"). The Series A Preferred Stock has voting rights equal to one
share of common stock and will earn dividends equal to 18.5% of the consolidated
retained earnings of Unistar as of the end of a fiscal period, less any
dividends paid to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock prior to such
date. The Series B Preferred Stock has voting rights equal to one share of
common stock and will earn dividends equal to 31.5% of the consolidated retained
earnings of Unistar as of the end of a fiscal period, less any dividends paid to
the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock prior to such date. All dividends on
Preferred Stock are payable (i) when and as declared by the Board of Directors,
(ii) upon conversion or redemption of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock
or (iii) upon liquidation. The Series A and Series B Preferred Stock is
redeemable for a total of 13.3 million shares of common stock (Series A
Preferred Stock for 4.925 million shares and Series B Preferred Stock for 8.375
million shares) at the Company's option. In the event that Unistar meets certain
revenue and profit parameters, the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible for
up to 4.925 million shares of common stock and the Series B Preferred Stock is
contingently convertible for up to 8.375 million shares of common stock (a total
of an additional 13.3 million shares of common stock). Shareholder approval is
required before any of the Series B Preferred Stock can be converted or
redeemed. Liquidation preferences for all Series A and Series B preferred shares
total $7.3 million as of December 31, 1995. Liquidation preference is based upon
fair market value of the Series A and Series B preferred shares as determined by
the investment banking firm engaged by the Company, plus any dividends in
arrears. As of December 31, 1995, no dividends have accrued to the preferred
stockholders. The preferred stock had no impact on earnings per share in 1995.

In an attempt to block the NIL, certain states filed letters under 18 U.S.C.
Section 1084 to prevent the long-distance carriers from providing telephone
service to the NIL. The CDA initiated legal action to compel the long-distance
carriers to provide telephone service to the NIL. The CDA's position is that the
lottery is authorized by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act ("IGRA") passed by
Congress in 1988, that IGRA preempts state and federal statutes, and that the
states lack authority to issue the Section 1084 notification letters to any
carrier. On February 28, 1996, the NIL was ruled lawful by the CDA Tribal Court.
The CDA Tribal Court found that all requirements of IGRA have been satisfied and
the Section 1084 letters issued by certain state attorneys general in an effort
to interfere with the lawful operation of the NIL are invalid. In addition, the
Court found that the long-distance carriers cannot refuse to provide the service
requested in the action based upon 18 U.S.C. Section 1084. Any appeal of this
ruling must be filed by May 31, 1996. The Company expects this ruling will be
appealed but believes the CDA's position will be upheld. In recording the
purchase, the Company has accrued $1 million to cover the legal costs which it
anticipates are probable of being incurred to resolve these issues. Depending on
the outcome of the litigation, it is possible that additional costs may be
incurred.

Other than legal costs related to an appeal of the CDA Tribal Court ruling or
other actions by the states, if any, the Company estimates that the additional
costs to become operational may amount to between $5-10 million. Operational
capital includes capital expenditures for computers and software to build the
telecommunications system, funds to complete the building on the CDA reservation
which will be the operations center for the lottery, and various start-up
expenses including personnel-related costs and advertising expenses. The Company
is also required to make a guaranteed payment of $300,000 per year to the CDA.
The estimate of operating capital does not include a $4 million jackpot reserve
which could be required dependent upon certain conditions. If the Company
ultimately must fund a jackpot reserve, it will be repaid to Unistar solely from
NIL net revenues in equal installments over the term of the contract. The
Company expects it will be able to obtain additional financing for these costs,
if necessary.

The Company believes there is a national market for the NIL based upon research
into the experience of other national lotteries and the growth of the overall
lottery market. However, there is no assurance that there will be acceptance of
a telephone lottery.

During the first quarter of 1995, the Company was involved in extensive
negotiations to acquire the Dictaphone division of Pitney Bowes. In April 1995,
the acquisition was awarded to another bidder. The Company incurred
approximately $1 million in fees and expenses related to the attempted
acquisition which were recognized during the second and third quarters of 1995.

In 1990, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of Isoetec Texas, Inc.,
an independent distributor of the Company's products. The transaction has been
accounted for by the purchase method. The purchase price was based upon a
multiple of 1989 pre-tax earnings of Isoetec Texas, Inc., subject to adjustment.
The purchase price originally recorded was based on cash payments to the former
owners of approximately $900,000, $250,000 of notes, 325,000 shares of common
stock and liabilities assumed of approximately $900,000.

The Company brought an action against the former owners of Isoetec Texas, Inc.
alleging breach of contract and fraud with respect to the calculation of 1989
pre-tax earnings and the purchase price. In November 1991, pursuant to the
purchase contract, an arbitrator ruled that 1989 pre-tax earnings should be
reduced by an amount that resulted in a reduction of the purchase price by
approximately $2 million. This reduction was assumed in the original purchase
price calculation and, as such, did not result in an adjustment to the recorded
purchase price. However, the arbitrator also awarded damages of approximately
$1.2 million to the former owners as additional purchase price. At that time,
the Company did not adjust its purchase price calculation since it believed that
the arbitrator went beyond its authority and decided to pursue the matter in
court. In 1994, after an appeal to the Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, the
Company was required to pay $1.2 million as additional purchase price and
interest of $400,000. In addition, the Company was required to issue an
additional 78,866 shares of common stock to settle all remaining claims. These
payments were adjustments to the recorded purchase price.

As of March 31, 1994, the Company sold its Vodavi Communications Systems
Division ("VCS"), which sold telephone equipment to supply houses and dealers, a
different class of customer from continuing operations, under the brand names
STARPLUS'r' and INFINITE'tm', for approximately $10.9 million. Proceeds of the
sale consisted of approximately $9.7

<PAGE>
<PAGE>


million in cash, received in April 1994, and a $1.2 million note, the proceeds
of which were received in September 1995. The proceeds were used to reduce
borrowings under the Company's credit facility. The sale resulted in an
after-tax gain of $604,000 (net of income tax provision of $403,000).
Consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993
present VCS as a discontinued operation. Net revenues of the discontinued
operation for the years ended December 31, 1994 (through the date of sale) and
1993 were $8.6 million and $31.6 million, respectively.

The three months ended June 30, 1995 includes a provision for restructuring of
$44,042 (see Note L) and acquisition expenses of $1.0 million (see Note L). The
three months ended March 31, 1994 includes income of $757 from the
discontinuance and sale of the VCS division (see Note L).


NOTE N - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 9, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to sell substantially
all of the Direct Sales and Services Group, including its long-distance reseller
business and National Service Center, for $67.4 million to an acquisition
company led by Bain Capital, Inc. The purchase price will consist 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 sale is expected to close on May 31, 1996,
subject to the buyer's financing and other conditions. The agreement also
provides that the Company and the buyer will enter into a five-year exclusive
distribution agreement under which the buyer will sell and service the Company's
telephony equipment to those businesses and commercial locations that require up
to 400 telephones.


<PAGE>
<PAGE>

   
The sale does not include the Pittsburgh direct sales and service office, which
the Company has agreed to sell to one of its existing independent
distributors for approximately $1.3 million in cash and notes. The sale of the
direct Sales and Service Group (including the separate sale of the Pittsburgh
office) relates primarily to the retail distribution channel of the Computer
Telephony division and includes the entire network services division. After the
sale, the Computer Telephony division will consist of telephony products sales
to independent distributors, of which the newly-formed Bain company will be the
largest distributor, along with the National Accounts and Federal Systems
marketing groups. The Company will retain its Healthcare Communications and
Call Center Management businesses and the recently acquired Unistar business.
    

In 1995, the Direct Sales and Services Group, including the long-distance
reseller business, had revenues of $191 million. On a pro forma basis, after
giving effect to the transaction, the Company's 1995 revenues would be
approximately $157 million. This includes $42 million in sales to the Direct
Sales and Services Group which were eliminated in the 1995 Statement of
Operations.

On April 10, 1996, the Company announced that it had given notice of its
termination of its distribution agreement with GPT Video Systems due to failures
by GPT to deliver properly-functioning videoconferencing products on a timely
basis. The Company is negotiating an agreement with a third party to sell its
videoconferencing business. Terms of the contract have yet to be finalized.


STOCK DATA
