BROOKTROUT TECHNOLOGY, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.   Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles and should be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference in
or included in the Company's 1996 Annual Reports on Form 10K and to the audited
supplemental consolidated financial statements included in the Company's
registration statement on Form S-3 dated August 6, 1996.

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the
audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation of the interim periods presented.

     The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the results which could be expected for the full year.

2.   Net income per share

     Net income per common and per common equivalent share are computed using
the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares
outstanding during the period, using the provisions of Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 15, "Earnings per Share." Dilutive common equivalent shares
represent shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, calculated using the
treasury stock method.

     In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which
the Company will adopt in the fourth quarter of 1997. Had SFAS No. 128 been
effective for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, reported earnings per
share on a pro forma basis would have been as follows:

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



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 and 1996

      Revenue during the three months ended March 31, 1997 increased by
approximately 33% to $15,070,000, up from $11,300,000 during the three months
ended March 31, 1996. This growth was primarily attributable to increased
shipments of OEM voice systems and TR Series products. The Company's voice mail
business for the quarter was bolstered by shipments of a new integrated voice
mail system. Increased sales from the TR Series products reflect the growth in
the enhanced fax system market segment and the local area network/fax market
segment served by the Company.

      Cost of product sold was $6,522,000, or 43% of revenue, during the three
months ended March 31, 1997, compared to $5,097,000, or 45% of revenue, for the
same period in 1996. Gross profit percentage was approximately 57% and 55% for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase in
gross profit percentage is the result of cost reduction efforts on the TR Series
products partially offset by price decreases on OEM voice systems.

      Research and development expense was $2,366,000, or 16% of revenue,
compared with $1,556,000, or 14% of revenue, for the three months ended March
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase reflects the Company's continuing
development efforts for its TR Series product family and computer telephony
development tools, as well as fax and OEM systems development. The Company
intends to continue to commit significant resources to product development and
expects that research and development expenditures will be approximately 15% of
revenue for the foreseeable future.

      Selling, general and administrative expense was $4,065,000 during the
three months ended March 31, 1997, compared with $2,984,000 during the same
period in 1996. This higher expense level resulted from increased staffing,
promotional activities and travel expenses. As a percentage of revenue, selling,
general and administrative expense for the first quarter of 1997 was 27% of
revenue, compared with 26% for the first quarter of 1996.

      For the three months ended March 31, 1997, interest and other income was
$441,000, compared with $263,000 for the same period in 1996.

      The Company's effective tax rate, adjusted for significant permanent or
other differences occurring within a quarter, was 39% in 1997 and 1996, based on
the Company's estimated effective tax rate for the full year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      For the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company funded its
operations principally through operating revenue. In July 1996, the Company
renewed its working capital line of credit. Under the renewed line of credit,
the Company may borrow up to $7,500,000 on an unsecured basis, all of which may
be used for issuance of letters of credit, subject to compliance with certain
covenants. The line of credit will expire in July 1997 and at that time any
outstanding balances would be payable in full. Any amounts borrowed under the
line would be subject to interest at the bank's prime rate. At March 31, 1997
there were no commitments outstanding on letters of credit; no borrowings have
been made during any period presented.

      The Company's working capital increased from $43.4 million at December 31,
1996 to $44.3 million at March 31, 1997. The increase was attributable, in part,
to higher cash balances and investments, accounts receivable and inventory
balances combined with lower accrued compensation and commission balances. These
increases were partially offset by higher accounts payable, customer deposits
and accrued warranty cost balances together with lower prepaid expense balances.
The Company's aggregate cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
position increased as a result of cash flows from operations, maturities of
marketable securities, increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses and
decreases in prepaid expenses. The increase in cash was offset by purchases of
marketable securities, equipment, furniture and inventory and an increase in
accounts receivable.

      During the first three months of 1997, the Company invested approximately
$885,000 in capital equipment. The Company currently has no material commitments
for additional capital expenditures.

      The Company anticipates that cash flows from operations, together with
current cash and marketable securities balances and funds available under the
Company's line of credit, will be sufficient to meet the Company's working
capital and capital equipment expenditure requirements for the foreseeable
future.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

      In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which
will be effective during the fourth quarter of 1997. SFAS No. 128 will require
the Company to restate all previously reported earnings per share information to
conform with the new pronouncement's requirements.
