RESTATEMENT

This 10-QSB/A is filed so as to reflect a restatement of Part I, including the
financial statements for the three-month period and nine month period ended
September 30, 1997.  See footnote 6 to the financial statements for an
explanation of the restatement.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Included in this report are "forward looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Although the Company believes that
the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it
can give no assurance that such expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements will prove to have been correct.  The Company's actual results could
differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a
result of certain factors including those set forth under Part I, Item 2 
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial
Condition." The Company's operating results have fluctuated and may continue to
fluctuate on an annual and quarterly basis, as a result of a number of factors,
many of which are outside the Company's control. These factors include the
timing of significant orders, the length of the sales cycle, the timing of there
lease of new products, the ability of the Company to recruit and train an
effective field sales force, the acceptance of new and enhanced versions of the
Company's product, pricing trends in the Automated Speech Recognition industry,
and conditions and events in the computer industry and the general economy

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   For the Quarter ended September 30, 1997

                                  (Unaudited)


Note 1  Basis of Presentation
- -----------------------------

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Applied Voice
Recognition, Inc., a Utah corporation (the "Company") have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principals and the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), and should be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements and notes thereto combined in the
Company's latest annual report filed with the SEC on Form 10-KSB.  In the
opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of financial position and the
results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected
herein.  The results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the full year.  Note to the financial statements which would
substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial
statements for the most recent fiscal year, 1996, as reported in the Form 10-KSB
have been omitted.

Note 2  Private Placement of the Company's Stock
- ------------------------------------------------

The company recently completed the private placement (the "Private Placement")
of 1,595,625 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common
Stock") for a purchase price of $1.60 per share and 312,500 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, par value $.10 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock") for a
purchase price of $8.00 per share.  The Company closed the first offering of
125,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock on August 1, 1997 for a purchase
price of $8.00 per share for an aggregate of $1,000,000, and closed the second

On August 14, 1997, the company paid $580,000, under the terms of a bridge loan
agreement, to a stockholder and certain officers of the Company.  This was paid

                                      -5-

Note 4  Loss per common share
- -----------------------------

Loss per share is calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period.  Common stock equivalent shares
consists of the incremental shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options
and warrants using the treasury stock method if dilutive.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128. Earnings Per Share, which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997.
At that time the Company will be required to change the method currently used to
compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods.  Under the new
requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the dilutive effect of
common stock equivalents will be excluded.  The impact of Statement No. 128 on
primary and fully diluted earnings per share is not expected to be material for
the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997.

Note 5  Pro forma presentation of  September 30, 1996 financials
- ----------------------------------------------------------------

The financial statements presented for the period ended September 30, 1996
represent a pro forma consolidated balance sheet and income statement of the
Company and Summa Vest, Inc.  On December 11, 1996, Summa Vest, Inc., a publicly
traded company with no operations since 1993 completed a "reverse acquisition"
of the Company.  The reverse acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase
method of accounting for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.  The financial
statements for the period ended September 30, 1996 represent the consolidated
balance sheet and income statement as if the merger occurred on September
30,1996.

Note 6 Restatement
- ------------------

The financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 have been
restated as follows:

     In August of 1996, the Company issued 250,000 stock options to certain
     officers and management of the Company. The officers and management
     received the stock options in lieu of cash compensation. The Company is
     restating the 1996 financial statements to record $340,000 of compensation
     expense related to the granting of the options.

     The Company issued 180,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with a note
     payable. The Company is restating the 1996 financial statements to record
     $236,250 of deferred finance costs which will be amortized over the life of
     the note payable.  The restated financial statements for the quarter ended
     September 30, 1996, reflect $33,750 of related interest expense.

                                      -6-

     Upon the reorganization on August 15, 1996, the Company did not eliminate
     its previous retained deficit. The Company is restating stockholders'
     equity to reflect the elimination of the cumulative retained deficit of
     $867,371 as of August 15,1996.

The financial statements for the quarter ended and nine months ended September
30, 1997 have been restated as follows:

     During 1997, the Company issued common stock warrants to purchase the
     Company's common stock in exchange for consulting services and did not
     record the related expense and deferral.  The Company is restating the
     financial statements for the quarter ended and nine months ended September
     30, 1997 to record $129,750 and $259,500, respectively, of consulting
     expense based on the fair market value of the common stock and warrants.
     At September 30, 1997, $35,250 of deferred consulting expense remained on
     the balance sheet. The deferred expense will be amortized in the fourth
     quarter of the 1997 fiscal year.

     Between May 15, 1997 and July 24, 1997, the Company granted to officers, a
     director, and others, warrants to purchase the Company's common stock
     (warrants to purchase 430,000 shares to officers, warrant to purchase
     50,000 shares to a director, and warrants to purchase 100,000 shares to
     others) at an exercise price of $1.60 per share.  The warrants were granted
     in connection with bridge loans made by these individuals.  Finance costs
     related to these warrants were not recognized. The Company is restating the
     financial statements for the quarter ended and nine months ended September
     30, 1997 to record finance costs of $139,200 and $278,400, respectively,
     based on the fair value of the underlying stock of the warrants issued.

world-wide web all via voice commands.  In December 1996 AVRI completed a
reverse merger with a public company.  As a result, the Company is now traded on
the Nasdaq OTCBB under the symbol "AVRI". For the periods under discussion in
this document, sales of the VoiceCommander product have been the primary source
of revenues for AVRI.

The Company's revenues are derived from license fees for software products,
training fees for assisting the customer in the use of the Company's products,
software support and maintenance and sales of hardware used in conjunction with
the Company's software.  Software licenses are typically granted on a per user
basis, however the Company may grant enterprise-wide licenses for multi users
sites.  Revenues have been derived in the main from direct sales to end users
through the Company's direct field sales force.  Since inception, AVRI has
focused its sales and marketing resources in the Houston, Texas marketplace and
consequently most of the revenues in 1996 and 1997 are derived from this market.

During the first three quarters of 1997, the Company has significantly increased
its research and development efforts to produce a new continuous speech version
of its VoiceCommander product.  The Company has also increased its sales,
marketing and administrative staff to capitalize on the launch of
VoiceCommander 4.0. On September 15, 1997, the Company publicly announced the
rollout of its continuous speech version of the VoiceCommander series,
VoiceCommander 4.0.

The Company's operating results have fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate on
an annual and quarterly basis, as a result of a number of factors, many of which
are outside the Company's control.  These factors include the timing of
significant orders, the length of the sales cycle, the timing of the release of
new products, the ability of the Company to recruit and train an effective field
sales force, the acceptance of new and enhanced versions of the Company's
product, pricing trends in the Automated Speech Recognition industry, and
conditions and events in the computer industry and the general economy.
Additionally, the Company has expensed all research and development costs from
inception through June 30, 1997 and therefore financial periods may reflect
higher than normal expenses in advance of the financial periods in which
material sales revenues can be realized on any newly developed products.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES

Revenues were $332,176 and $62,934 for the three months ended September 30,
1997 and 1996, respectively, representing an increase of  $269,242 or 428%.
Revenues were $785,327 and $278,545 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
and 1996 respectively, representing an increase of $506,782 or 182%. The
increases for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 1997
resulted primarily from the addition of sales personnel in direct sales and
marketing and promotional campaigns implemented in the Houston marketplace in
1997.

OPERATING EXPENSES, NONOPERATING ITEMS

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was 48% in the third quarter of fiscal
1997 compared to 76% in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 and 55% for the first
three quarters of 1997 versus 68% for the first three quarters of 1996.  Cost of
sales in aggregate totaled $431,514 and $189,289 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and $160,639 and $47,680 for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The favorable
trend in cost of sales as a percentage of revenues in both periods is
attributable to the negotiation of favorable contracts with suppliers of the
speech engine upon which the Company's software applications run.  Additionally,
the Company realized lower training costs by increasing the average size of its
training classes.

Sales and marketing expenses were $338,848 in the third quarter of 1997 and
$57,984 in the third quarter of 1996 representing an increase of  $280,864.  For
the first three quarters of 1997 and 1996 sales and marketing expenses equaled
$657,474 and $85,457, respectively, representing an increase of  $572,017.  For
the current period and the year to date, the increase in sales and marketing
expenses was attributable to the addition of incremental sales personnel and the
launch of a radio and print marketing campaign featuring Hakeem Olajuwon.

General and administrative expenses were $757,150 in the third quarter of 1997
and $343,971 in the third quarter of 1996, representing an increase of
$413,179.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, general and
administrative expenses totaled $1,824,887 representing an increase of
$1,301,842 over the $523,045 incurred for the nine months ended September 30,
1996. The increase in both periods is attributable to the addition of senior
level management, including the Company's President, Chief Financial Officer and
Vice President of Sales, administrative personnel and associated recruiting
costs. The variance also includes incremental expenditures associated with
consulting services.  Consultants were retained to assist the Company with
strategic planning and analysis.

Research and development expenses decreased from $51,119 in the third quarter of
1996 to $37,745 in the same quarter of 1997. This reduction was due to the
capitalization of development costs for the continuous speech version of
VoiceCommader in the third quarter of 1997.  Software development costs were
expensed as incurred for all periods up to June 30, 1997.  For the nine months
ended September 30, 1997, 

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
 
these expenses totaled $210,106 versus $66,030 for the same period in 1996. The
increase in research and development expenses of $144,076 was attributable,
mainly to increased staffing.

For the three months and nine months ending September 30, 1997, net interest
expense increased by $142,227 and $356,749 over the same periods of 1996 to
$179,829 and $394,351, respectively. The increase in both periods was due to
increased third party debt financing and incremental finance costs associated
with warrants issued in connection with bridge loans.

An extraordinary loss of  $25,391, net of income tax effects, was recognized in
the third quarter of 1996 and no extraordinary losses were recognized for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997.  The extraordinary loss was due to the
forgiveness of debt.

NET INCOME (LOSS)

Net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 was $1,142,035 compared to a net
loss of $450,031 for the same period in 1996.  For the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, the net loss for the Company totaled $2,733,005 compared to
a net loss of $597,487 for the same period in 1996.  The increases in net loss
for both periods is attributable to the incremental sales, marketing, research
and development, and general and administrative expenses incurred in conjunction
with the launch of the Company's new VoiceCommander product. Part of the
increased loss is also attributed to additional consulting expense and finance
costs.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Net cash used by operating activities increased to $2,106,955 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 from $253,801 for the nine months ended
September 30.  The increase in cash used in operating activities of $1,853,154
is primarily attributed to the increase in net loss for the nine month period of
$2,135,578.  An increase in liabilities over assets of $119,313 and an increase
in non-cash activity of $163,051 partially offset the increased net loss.  Net
loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 amounted to $2,733,005 and
$597,487 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  The Company invested
$211,334 of its funds on equipment purchases and $186,297 on capitalized
research and development.  Compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
current year to date cash used in investing activities increased $392,016.  Of
this amount, $186,297 is attributed to capitalized research and development.
The balance of $205,719 is attributed to the purchase of computer and office
equipment.

Cash flows from financing activities totaled $5,055,139 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
totaled $988,655.  The increase of $4,066,484 is primarily attributed to a net
increase of $3,742,821 received as the result of the Private Placement of the
Company's stock (as described below) and other sales of common stock.  Other
factors contributing to the variance include net incremental borrowings of
$170,212 related to debt and capital lease obligations and incremental non-cash
activity of $153,451.

                                      -10-

The Company recently completed the private placement (the "Private Placement")
of 1,595,625 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common
Stock") for a purchase price of $1.60 per share and 312,500 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the Series A Preferred Stock") for a
purchase price of $8.00 per share. The Company closed the first offering of
125,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock on August 1, 1997 for a purchase
price of $8.00 per share for an aggregate of $1,000,000, and closed the second
offering of 187,500 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock on August 12, 1997
for an aggregate of $1,500,000. Additionally, the Company closed its offering of
common stock on August 27, 1997 and received the aggregate purchase price of
$2,553,000. Total expenses of the private placement including broker fees,
commission and legal and accounting expenses totaled $387,359.

The Company received $580,000 in loan proceeds from corporate directors,
officers and outsiders in the form of bridge loans during the three months ended
September 30, 1997. The Company has repaid these bridge loans including
accumulated interest.  (The bridge loans bore interest at 12% per annum and the
maker received one warrant to purchase the Company's stock for $1.60 for every
dollar loaned to the Company.)

The Company anticipates that it will continue to lose money in the near term as
a result of the Company increasing its expenditures in connection with marketing
its products and services on a national scale, increasing its sales force and
technical support staff and opening additional sales offices. The Company
believes, however, that the Company will be able to utilize the proceeds of the
Private Placement, together with the revenues generated from the Company's
existing operations to develop the Company's products and services and the
markets for those products and services, to the extent necessary for the Company
to meet its future capital requirements for the Company's future operations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company's business plan anticipates
additional financing in the next twelve months. No assurance can be given that
any such financing would be available.

Without such additional financing there can be no assurance however, that the
Company will be able to develop its products and services, or the markets for
such products and services to the extent required to meet its future capital
requirements from the revenues generated by the Company's future operations.  If
cash provided by operating activities is insufficient to provide internal
sources of liquidity, the Company will rely upon external sources of liquidity.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional
cash resources from the sale of its securities or from debt sources on
reasonable terms, if at all.  Lower than expected revenues resulting from
adverse economic conditions or otherwise, could restrict the Company's ability
to expand its business as planned and if severe enough, may shorten the period
during which its available cash may be expected to satisfy the Company's capital
requirements.
