             REPORT OF ERNST AND YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


The Stockholders and Board of Directors of
InterVoice, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of InterVoice,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of February 28, 1997 and February 29, 1996, and the
related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 28, 1997.
Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index
at item 14(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
InterVoice, Inc. and subsidiaries at February 28, 1997 and February 29, 1996,
and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended February 28, 1997, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related
financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects
the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company develops, sells and services call automation systems with an
emphasis on interactive voice response allowing individuals to interact with
computer data bases using their telephones, personal computers, credit card
terminals or voice. The Company's systems are sold under the trade names
"OneVoice" and "InterDial" and are used by a variety of enterprises to
disseminate and receive information efficiently, allowing multiple callers
simultaneous access to computer data bases without the expense of maintaining a
manned workstation for each telephone line, or by automatically dialing phone
numbers and only transferring a call to an operator if the call is answered and
the called party remains on the phone. The Company's products include software
designed to simplify system customization while permitting a number of diverse
product applications. The Company sells its products directly to end-users and
through more than 130 domestic and international distributors.

NOTE B - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of InterVoice and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

INVENTORIES: Inventories, primarily system components, are valued at the lower
of cost or net realizable value with cost determined on a first-in, first-out
basis. Amounts presented are net of inventory valuation allowances totaling
$166,000 and $1,350,000 at February 28, 1997 and February 29, 1996,
respectively.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and Equipment is stated on the basis of cost.
Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over each asset's
estimated useful life. Depreciation expense totaled $4,124,289, $2,834,613 and
$2,305,263 in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS: Intangible assets, which include patent licenses, purchased
software and license fees for technologies such as text to speech and speech
recognition, are being amortized by the straight-line method based on the
Company's assessment of each asset's useful life. Useful lives range from five
to twelve years. Amortization expense for these items totaled $822,087,
$647,261 and $912,996 in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash equivalents include investments in highly
liquid securities with a maturity of three months or less at the time of
acquisition. The carrying amount of these securities approximate fair market
value.

REVENUE RECOGNITION: The Company recognizes revenue from sales of systems and
services at the time a contract is signed, custom system specifications, where
applicable, are defined and agreed upon, and the system has been shipped or
services rendered. In the event the Company anticipates more than a normal time
period between shipment and completion of other obligations (installation and
system testing), revenue recognition is deferred until all remaining
obligations are insignificant. Revenues from system maintenance agreements are
deferred and recognized over the term of the agreement.

DEFERRED INCOME TAXES: Deferred income taxes are recognized using the liability
method and reflect the tax impact of temporary differences between the amounts
of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as
measured by tax laws and regulations.                                          

NET INCOME PER SHARE: Net income per share is based on the average common and
common equivalent shares outstanding during each fiscal year. Common equivalent
shares assume the exercise of all dilutive stock options, including restricted
stock, using the treasury stock method. Primary and fully diluted earnings per
share are not materially different for the years presented.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION: The Company has elected to follow Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"
("APB 25") in the primary financial statements and to provide supplementary
disclosures required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("FAS 123"). See Note F.

RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to
conform to current year presentation.

NOTE E - CONTINGENCIES

         Lucent Technologies ("Lucent") has suggested in correspondence to the
Company that it should consider licensing certain Lucent patents for a
substantial payment. The Company has an opinion from its outside legal counsel
that the Company does not infringe the Lucent patents by reason of
non-infringement and/or invalidity. The Company has suggested to Lucent that
Lucent should consider licensing certain patents of the Company, and that a
mutual cross-license might be in the best interests of both parties. The
parties are currently attempting to negotiate a mutually satisfactory
cross-license agreement which would resolve the matter. There is no assurance
that the Company will be able to negotiate a cross-license agreement based on
mutually satisfactory terms. Lucent has not threatened litigation against the
Company. In the event that litigation is instituted against the Company
concerning the Lucent patents, the Company intends to vigorously contest the
claims and to assert defenses of non-infringement and/or invalidity of the
patents, together with any other meritorious defenses and counterclaims,
including any counterclaim for infringement of its patents, the Company might
have. As with any legal proceeding, there is no guarantee that the Company will
prevail in any litigation asserted against the Company in connection with the
Lucent patents.

</TABLE>


At February 28, 1997, a total of 792,328 employee options were exercisable at
an average price of $13.02.

On April 9, 1997, the Board of Directors approved a plan to offer to the
holders of certain outstanding stock options, excluding the five most highly
compensated executive officers, the opportunity to cancel their existing
options and receive new options for the same number of shares but with an
exercise price per share at the then current fair market value and with new
vesting requirements. As a result, approximately 620,000 options with exercise
prices ranging from $11.88 to $27.25 per share were exchanged for new options
with an exercise price of $10.00 per share.

A stock option plan is in effect under which shares of common stock may be
issued by the Board of Directors as nonqualified stock options to
non-employees. Options are issued to non-employee directors in accordance with
a formula prescribed by the plan. Option prices per share are the fair market
value per share, based on the closing per share price on the date of grant.
Each option becomes exercisable within the period specified in the optionee's
agreement and are exercisable for 10 years from the date of grant.

During fiscal 1996, the Company adopted a Restricted Stock Plan under which an
aggregate of 500,000 shares may be issued. Approximately 154,000 shares have
been allocated to five senior executives to be earned based on the achievement
of certain targeted share prices and the continued service of each executive for
a two year period after each target is met. The remaining shares are available
for annual grants to other key executives as a component of their annual bonuses
based on the achievement of targeted annual earnings per share objectives and
the completion of an additional two years of service after the grant. Activity
related to restricted stock during fiscal 1997 and 1996 is as follows:

The weighted average share price on the date of grant in fiscal 1997 was $21.27
for the Senior Executive Plan and $29.44 for the Key Executive Plan. Shares
forfeited in fiscal 1997 had been granted at a weighted average share price of
$21.80. At February 28, 1997, approximately 440,000 shares are reserved for
future restricted stock grants.

One Preferred Share Purchase Right is attached to each outstanding share of the
Company's common stock. If a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of
20 percent or more, or announces a tender offer that would result in beneficial
ownership of 20 percent or more of the Company's outstanding common stock, the
rights become exercisable and each right will entitle its holder to purchase
one four-hundredth of a share of Series A Preferred Stock for $75, subject to
adjustment. If the Company is acquired in a business combination transaction
while the rights are outstanding, each right will entitle its holder to
purchase, for $75, common shares of the acquiring company having a market value
of $150. In addition, if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 20
percent or more of the Company's outstanding common stock, each right will
entitle its holder (other than such person or members of such group) to
purchase, for $75, a number of shares of the Company's common stock having a
market value of $150. Furthermore, at any time after a person or group acquires
beneficial ownership of 20 percent or more (but less than 50 percent) of the
Company's outstanding common stock, the Board of Directors may, at its option,
exchange part or all of the rights (other than rights held by the acquiring
person or group) for shares of the Company's common stock on a one-for-one
basis. At any time prior to the acquisition of such a 20 percent position, the
Company can redeem each right for .25 cents. The Board of Directors is also
authorized to reduce the 20 percent thresholds referred to above to not less
than 10 percent. The rights expire in the year 2001.

Because the Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB 25
for expense recognition purposes in the primary financial statements, Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation", ("FAS 123") requires disclosure of pro forma information which
provides the effects on Net income and Income per share as if the Company had
accounted for its employee stock awards under fair value methods prescribed by
FAS 123. The fair value of the Company's employee stock awards was estimated
using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions for fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively: risk-free interest rates of
6.39% and 6.02%; stock price volatility factors of .66 and .74; and expected
option lives of 4.06 years and 3.2 years. The Company does not have a history of
paying dividends, and none have been assumed in estimating the fair value of the
options. The weighted-average fair value per share of options granted in fiscal
1997 was $11.82.

As required by FAS 123, only awards granted in fiscal 1996 and 1997 have been
included in determining the amount of additional compensation expense for those
years. As such, the effects of applying FAS 123 on fiscal 1997 and 1996 results
are not necessarily representative of the additional compensation expense which
will be included in future years' pro forma disclosures as more than two years
of awards will be considered.

<PAGE>   14



NOTE H - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

The Company sells systems directly to end-users and distributors primarily in
the banking and financial, telecommunications, human resource, heathcare and
call center vertical markets. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a
customer's financial condition and a deposit is generally required. The Company
has made a provision for credit losses in these financial statements, which
have been less than 1% of sales in the periods reported.

NOTE I - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

The Company sponsors an employee savings plan which qualifies under section
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. All full time employees who have completed
three months of service are eligible to participate in the plan. The Company
matches 50% of employee contributions up to 6% of the employee's eligible
compensation. Company contributions totaled $759,000, $524,000 and $405,000 in
fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

NOTE J - ACQUISITION

The Company acquired VoicePlex Corporation on August 31, 1994. The acquisition
was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. This purchase price of
$12,277,992 was comprised of $7,954,749 in cash, Company common stock valued at
$2,980,406 and other direct acquisition costs totaling $1,342,837. The
allocation of the purchase price among the identifiable tangible and intangible
assets was based on the fair market value of those assets using a risk adjusted
income approach.

Based on appraised value, a portion of the purchase price was allocated to
purchased research and development which had not reached technological
feasibility and had no alternative future use. This allocation resulted in a
$10,541,918 charge, net of taxes, to the Company's operations in fiscal year
1995. The remaining purchase price was allocated, based on appraisals, to
software ($746,121), net tangible assets ($470,619), deferred taxes ($351,457),
and assembled workforce ($167,877).
