           Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                            and Results of Operations


                  This  section  and  other  parts  of  this  Annual  Report  to
                  Shareholders contain  forward-looking  statements that involve
                  risks and  uncertainties.  The  Company's  actual  results may
                  differ   significantly  from  the  results  discussed  in  the
                  forward-looking  statements.  Factors  that might cause such a
                  difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in
                  the subsection  entitled "Factors Affecting  Operating Results
                  and Market Price of Stock" commencing on page (3) below.


    Results of    Revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 decreased
    Operations    by 10% or  $758,010  to $6,753,168 in contrast to revenues for
                  the fiscal  year  ended  December  31, 1994 of  $7,511,178.  A
                  significant   portion  of  the  decrease  is  attributable  to
                  extraordinary sales in 1994 from North American Numbering Plan
                  upgrades  in the  Hospitality  Market.  Moreover,  of the  10%
                  decline in revenues, 5% is due to the sale of a portion of the
                  Company's  Gemini  Telemanagement  Systems ("GTS") business in
                  the fourth quarter of 1995.

                  Operating  expense  and  income  component  comparisons,  as a
                  percentage  of revenues for the two years ending  December 31,
                  1995 and 1994 are summarized as follows:

                                                         1995              1994
                                                        ------            ------

                  Product costs                           51%               46%
                  Research and development                17%               13%
                  Marketing and SG&A                      51%               46%
                                                        ------            ------

                  Net loss from operations               (19%)              (5%)


                  Product costs as a percentage of revenues increased in 1995 to
                  51% from 46% as a result of increased  production  and product
                  support  resources to accommodate  new product  releases,  new
                  product line  commitments,  and products  acquired through the
                  December 1994 Instor asset purchase.

                  Marketing, sales and general and administrative expense, while
                  increasing  from 46% to 51% of  revenues  in  1995,  decreased
                  overall  by $27,789  or 1% in actual  expenditures  due to the
                  Company's  management of expenses.

                  Research and development expenses increased to 17% of revenues
                  in 1995, an increase of $112,791 or 11% in actual expenditures
                  from  1994 to 1995.  The  Company  temporarily  increased  its
                  research and development  resources  during 1995 to accelerate
                  the completion of three new products  scheduled for release in
                  the first quarter of 1995.

                      and Results of Operations, continued


                  Other  income,  net  increased by $2,478 in 1995.  The primary
                  components of this  increase were a gain from the  disposition
                  of certain  assets of  $109,236  offset by a net  increase  in
                  interest  expense of $64,758 as well as  write-offs of certain
                  assets of $42,000.

                  The Company lost  $1,315,253 from operations in 1995. The loss
                  was incurred fairly evenly  throughout the fiscal year, with a
                  third  quarter  loss  slightly  higher due to lower  revenues.
                  Expense level  reductions were  implemented  during the second
                  half of 1995 and have  been  maintained  in 1996 as well.  The
                  expense  reductions are expected to lower  overhead  operating
                  expenses significantly in 1996. The Company lost $405,202 from
                  operations in 1994.

    Liquidity     At December 31, 1995,  Xiox had cash and  cash  equivalents of
    and           $344,165  and net  working   capital of  $1,125,754 (excluding
    Capital       deferred  revenue)  compared  to cash and  cash equivalents of
                  $52,556  and net  working  capital  of  $953,367  in 1994.  In
                  addition to the working capital needed to cover the $1,299,456
                  net after tax loss in 1995, the Company  expended  $35,760 for
                  capital  equipment and software.  The remaining funds required
                  during 1995 were  supplied by existing  cash  balances and the
                  sale of common stock and contributed  capital in the amount of
                  $1,397,560.

                  The Company raised total proceeds of $403,501 (net of offering
                  expenses) in December  1995. The Company used a portion of the
                  proceeds of this  offering to pay down its bank line of credit
                  to $100,000.

                  The Company  had blanket  inventory  purchase  commitments  of
                  approximately $88,500 at December 31, 1995. Subsequently,  the
                  Company committed to $316,000 in future inventory purchases to
                  capitalize on favorable pricing.

                  The bank  line of  credit  was  amended  in  December, 1995 to
                  $750,000  and is expected by  management  to provide  adequate
                  capital resources to conduct operations at the level currently
                  anticipated  through April of 1996 when the bank line expires.
                  In addition, if working capital needs require, due to business
                  expansion  or  other  needs,  the  Company  may  need  to seek
                  additional  capital  funding.  The  Company had  $100,000  and
                  $270,000 of outstanding  debt under its bank line of credit at
                  December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.


    Factors       Xiox operates in a rapidly changing  environment that involves
    Affecting     a  number  of  uncertainties,   some  of  which are beyond the
    Operating     Company's  control,  and  any  of  which  may  have an adverse
    Results and   effect  on  the  Company's  business, financial condition, and
    Market Price  results  of  operations.   These  uncertainties  include,  but
    of Stock      are not limited to, the  Company's  dependence  on the sale of
                  few products;  the Company's  dependence on the ability of its
                  distributors   to   market   the   Company's   products;   the
                  fluctuations in the Company's quarterly results and the effect
                  of these  results on the  Company's  ability to  maintain  its
                  listed  status on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market;  the ability of
                  the  Company's  product  developers  to  design  products  and
                  software  that do not contain  defects and "bugs" which render
                  the  products  or  software  inoperable,   or  susceptible  to
                  breakdown,  software viruses, or "hacking"; and the outcome of
                  the litigation in which the Company is involved.

                        XIOX CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



    Summary of    Organization
    Significant   Xiox Corporation (the Company) was originally  incorporated in
    Accounting    the  state  of  California  on  September  13,  1982  for  the
    Policies      purposes  of  developing,  producing,  and marketing telephone
                  management  and  call  accounting  systems.   The  Company  is
                  currently incorporated in the state of Delaware.

                  Principles of consolidation
                  The  consolidated  financial  statements  of Xiox  Corporation
                  include  the  accounts  of SFX,  Inc.,  Gemini  Telemanagement
                  Systems,   and   Xpertel   Corporation,   its   wholly   owned
                  subsidiaries.   All  significant   intercompany  balances  and
                  transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

                  Revenue recognition
                  Software  License and Hardware:  Revenue is recognized  when a
                  product is shipped or upon  customer  acceptance as stipulated
                  in the sales  agreements.  Payments  received  from  customers
                  prior to shipment are recorded as purchase deposits.  Payments
                  received and due from  customers  after  shipment but prior to
                  acceptance, when applicable, are recorded as deferred revenue.

                  Maintenance  and rate tariff table  subscriptions: Maintenance
                  service and rate tariff table subscriptions entitle a customer
                  to receive  future  releases and  enhancements  of the related
                  software  products for a period of one year and to receive the
                  current  local and long  distance  provider  tariff  rates for
                  their  call  accounting  systems.  Maintenance  and rate table
                  subscription  revenues are recognized  ratably over the period
                  of the maintenance and  subscription  agreements in accordance
                  with  American   Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants
                  (AICPA)  Statement of Position (SOP),  91-1 "Software  Revenue
                  Recognition".   Maintenance  revenue  to  date  has  not  been
                  significant.

                  Cash and cash equivalents
                  Cash  and  cash  equivalents  include  cash on hand or held in
                  banks, amounts due from banks, and short-term investments with
                  original  maturities of less than three months.  Cash and cash
                  equivalents  consist  primarily  of  short-term  money  market
                  funds,  interest-bearing  certificates of deposit, and bankers
                  acceptances in the amounts of $344,165 and $52,556 at December
                  31, 1995 and 1994,  respectively.  The Company  considers  its
                  cash   equivalents  to  be  held   "available  for  sale"  and
                  accordingly carries such assets at fair market value, with any
                  unrealized  gain or loss  recorded as a separate  component of
                  stockholders'  equity.  At December 31, 1995, gross unrealized
                  gains and losses were not material.

                  Inventories
                  Inventories  are  stated  at  the  lower  of  cost  (first-in,
                  first-out basis) or market.

                  Property and equipment
                  Property and  equipment  are stated at cost.  Depreciation  is
                  computed on the straight-line  basis over the estimated useful
                  lives of the assets, generally three to five years.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



    Summary of    Software capitalization
    Significant   Internal   software   development  costs,  which   consist  of
    Accounting    software  updates, are  expensed  in  the year of development.
    Policies      Software updates are a result of internal software development
    Continued     and are released annually  for software products.   Management
                  believes  that the  benefit of these  updates  does not extend
                  beyond one year.

                  Purchased software with a benefit extending beyond one year is
                  capitalized.   Purchased   software   is   stated   at   cost.
                  Amortization  is  computed  on the  straight-line   basis over
                  three years.


                  Income taxes
                  The  Company  accounts  for income  taxes  using the asset and
                  liability   method,   under  which  deferred  tax  assets  and
                  liabilities  are recognized  based on future tax  consequences
                  attributable  to differences  between the financial  statement
                  carrying  amounts of existing tax assets and  liabilities  and
                  their respective tax basis.

                  Net loss per share
                  Net loss per  share  is  computed  using  the  daily  weighted
                  average  common  shares  outstanding  for  the  year.  Options
                  granted but not exercised  under the Stock Option Plan are not
                  considered in the  computation as the effect of including them
                  in the loss per share computation would be antidilutive.

                  Use of Estimates
                  The preparation of the 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 and 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 those
                  estimates.

                  Stock-based Compensation
                  In October 1995,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board
                  issued Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standard (SFAS) No.
                  123,  "Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation." SFAS No. 123
                  will be effective for fiscal years  beginning  after  December
                  15, 1995, and will require that the Company  either  recognize
                  in its consolidated  financial statements costs related to its
                  employee stock-based  compensation plans, such as stock option
                  and stock  purchase  plans,  or make pro forma  disclosures of
                  such  costs  in  a  footnote  to  the  consolidated  financial
                  statements.  SFAS No. 123 is not  expected  to have a material
                  effect on the Company's  consolidated results of operations or
                  financial position.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



    Employee      Certain  options  offered  under  the 1984  Stock Option  Plan
    Stock         may be exercised immediately upon grant but are subject to the
    Options       Xiox Corporation  Stock Purchase  Agreement,  which  restricts
    Continued     transfers of  the  shares  until  the shares are fully vested.
                  Under the terms of this agreement,  the Company may repurchase
                  at  the  option  price  any or  all  of  the  unvested  shares
                  purchased if the employee  terminates his employment  with the
                  Company  prior to vesting.  The Company  also has the right of
                  first refusal in the event of any proposed  disposition of the
                  purchased  shares.  No exercised  options at December 31, 1995
                  were subject to the Stock Purchase Agreement.

    Transactions  In 1991, the Company  advanced cash  to  an employee in return
    with Related  for  a   promissory  note  in  the  amount  of  $100,000.  The
    Parties       promissory note bears  a stated  interest rate of 9%. In 1994,
                  the Company paid certain  unscheduled  liabilities  for Instor
                  Systems Corporation in return for a $31,138 promissory note at
                  9% annual interest.  The unpaid principal  balance at December
                  31, 1995 and 1994 was $131,138.

    Employee      Effective  January  1,  1990,  the  Company  adopted  the Xiox
    Benefit       Corporation Employee Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan).  The Plan
    Plans         covers all regular full-time employees who have been  employed
                  by Xiox Corporation  continuously for a period of three months
                  during  the Plan year and are  employees  through  the date of
                  distribution.  Distributions  are determined  based on certain
                  arithmetic  formulas  included  in the Plan  document  and are
                  ultimately at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  There
                  were no  distributions  accrued  or  included  as  expense  at
                  December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

                  The  Company  sponsors a defined  contribution  plan  covering
                  substantially all of its employees.  Under the plan, employees
                  may  elect  to  contribute  up to 20% of their  salary  not to
                  exceed an annual  maximum of  $9,240.  As the  Company  has no
                  current  plans  to  participate  in  a  matching  contribution
                  program,  no such  contributions  were  accrued or expensed at
                  December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

    Major         The  Company  sells  directly to end-users, original equipment
    Customers     manufacturers   (OEM's),    and   through   telephone   dealer
                  arrangements.  The Company  conducts its  business  within one
                  industry segment.  No single customer  accounted for more than
                  10% of revenues during 1995 or 1994. The Company  provides for
                  allowances on the accounts receivable,  and credit losses have
                  not been material.

    Litigation    The Company is engaged in certain legal actions arising in the
                  ordinary  course of  business.  The  Company  believes  it has
                  adequate  legal  defense for those legal  complaints  directed
                  against the Company, and believes that the ultimate outcome of
                  these actions will not have a material effect on the Company's
                  financial position.

    Report of     The Board of Directors
    Independent   Xiox Corporation and Subsidiaries:
    Accountants
                  We have audited the accompanying  consolidated  balance sheets
                  of Xiox  Corporation and  subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995
                  and  1994,   and  the  related   consolidated   statements  of
                  operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years
                  then ended.  These consolidated  financial  statements are the
                  responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility
                  is to  express  an  opinion  on these  consolidated  financial
                  statements 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
                  financial  position of Xiox Corporation and subsidiaries as of
                  December  31,  1995  and  1994,   and  the  results  of  their
                  operations  and their cash flows for the years then  ended  in
                  conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
