                       DAVOX CORPORATION & SUBSIDIARIES
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)



1.   Basis of Preparation
 
     The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all
of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles.  The statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
Form 10-K, Commission File No. 0-15578 which was filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on February 28, 1997.  In the opinion of management, the
accompanying consolidated financial statements include all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly
the Company's financial position and results of operations. The results of
operations for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997
may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal
year.

2.   Principles of Consolidation

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


3.   Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
     Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments consisting mainly of
commercial paper with original maturities of less than three months at the date
of purchase.


4.   Marketable Securities

     The Company's investment portfolio of debt securities consists of
marketable securities classified as held-to-maturity under the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.  The marketable securities held at
September 30, 1997 consist principally of commercial paper and government
securities with original maturities of less than one year, and they are recorded
at amortized cost on the balance sheet.

     The fair value of marketable securities at September 30, 1997 was
approximately equal to amortized cost.  Gross unrealized holding losses at
September 30, 1997 were approximately $2,680.

5.   Provision for Income Taxes

     The Company provides for income taxes in interim periods based on its
estimated effective tax rate for the entire fiscal year.  The Company is
providing for income tax in 1997 based on an estimated effective tax rate of
12%.  Such rate is less than the combined federal statutory and state tax rates
due primarily to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and
recognition of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets.  The Company
provided for certain state income taxes in those states which do not allow for
net operating loss carryforwards.


6.   Net Income Per Common and Common Equivalent Share

     Net income per common and common equivalent share is computed based on
the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares (stock
options and warrants) outstanding during the period.  Fully diluted earnings per
share have not been presented as their amounts do not differ significantly from
primary earnings per share.


7.   Recently Issued Accounting Standards

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share.  SFAS
No. 128 establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share
and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential common
stock.  This statement is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15,
1997 and early adoption is not permitted.  When adopted, the statement will
require restatement of prior years' earnings per share.  The Company will adopt
this statement for its fiscal year ended December 31, 1997.

     8.   Stock Split

     On April 24, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved an increase in
the authorized number of common shares of the Company's stock from 10,000,000 to
30,000,000 and authorized a three-for-two stock split of the Company's common
stock which was effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend paid on May 28,
1997 to shareholders of record on May 13, 1997.  All share and per share amounts
have been retroactively restated for all periods presented to reflect the stock
split.  Accordingly, approximately $ 385,000 was transferred from capital in
excess of par value to common stock.

million, or 40.7% compared to the same period in 1996, while total revenue for
the first nine months of 1997 increased approximately $17.1 million, or 44.8%
compared to the same period in 1996.

     Product revenue increased approximately $3.8 million, or 39.0% to $13.7
million in the third quarter of 1997 as compared to the third quarter of 1996.
Product revenue for the first nine months of 1997 increased approximately $11.9
million, or 45.4% to $38.0 million as compared to the same period in 1996.
These increases are caused by continued increasing demand for the Unison call
center management system, especially the telemarketing, collections, and
inbound/outbound call blending capabilities.

     Cost of product revenue increased 1.5% to $2.9 million for the third
quarter of 1997, but as a percentage of product revenue decreased 7.9% as
compared to the third quarter of 1996. Cost of product revenue for the first
nine months of 1997 increased $1.2 million, or 15.2% to $8.8 million, but as a
percentage of product revenue decreased 6.1% as compared to the same period in
1996. The decreases as a percentage of product revenue are mainly attributable
to the increased volume of product shipments relative to fixed costs, and a
higher margin product mix.

     Service revenue increased approximately $1.9 million, or 44.6% to $6.1
million for the third quarter of 1997 as compared to the third quarter of 1996.
Service revenue for the first nine months of 1997 increased $5.2 million, or
43.5% to $17.2 million as compared to the same period in 1996.  These increases
are due to an increase in maintenance revenue related to the growth in the
number of the Company's customers, increased installation revenue related to the
increased volume of product sales, and professional services revenue.
 
     Cost of service revenue increased approximately $1.0 million, or 35.5% to
$3.7 million for the third quarter of 1997.  Cost of service revenue for the
first nine months of 1997 increased approximately $3.0 million, or 38.7% to
$10.8 million.  These increases are attributable to higher payroll and related
expenses in 1997 resulting from headcount increases, increased third party
maintenance and installation charges in 1997, and accelerated depreciation on
certain service assets. As a percentage of service revenue, cost of service
revenue decreased by 4.1% and 2.2% for the third quarter and first nine months
respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1996.  These decreases are
primarily attributable to the higher service revenue relative to fixed costs.

     Research, development and engineering expenses increased approximately
$.7 million, or 44.7% to $2.2 million for the third quarter of 1997 as compared
to the third quarter of 1996.  Research, development and engineering expenses
increased approximately $1.9 million, or 45.0% to $6.1 million for the first
nine months of 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996.  These increases are
primarily attributable to higher payroll and related expenses in 1997 resulting
from headcount increases and higher outside consulting fees in 1997.  As a
percentage of total revenue, research, development and engineering expenses
increased from 11.0% for the third quarter of 1996 to 11.3% for the third
quarter of 1997.

     Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased approximately
$1.3 million or 28.0% to $5.8 million for the third quarter of 1997 as compared
to the third quarter of 1996.  SG&A expenses for the first nine months of 1997
increased approximately $3.9 million, or 32.0% to $16.2 million as compared to
the same period in 1996.  These increases are primarily attributable to
increased payroll and related expenses in 1997 resulting from headcount
increases and indirect and direct selling expenses related to the increased
revenue.  As a percentage of total revenue, SG&A expenses decreased from 32.0%
for the third quarter of 1996 to 29.2% for the third quarter of 1997 and from
32.1% for the first nine months of 1996 to 29.3% for the first nine months of
1997.  These decreases are due primarily to the increases in revenue.

     Interest income in 1997 was derived primarily from money market
instruments and investments in commercial paper and government securities.
Interest income increased 32.3% and 79.9% for the third quarter and first nine
months of 1997 respectively, compared to the same periods in 1996.  These
increases reflect the higher average cash and cash equivalents and marketable
securities balances in 1997 compared to 1996, as well as the higher investment
returns received as a result of the Company's new investment strategy of
investing in commercial paper and government securities.

     The Company provided for income taxes at its anticipated effective
annual rate, which is 12%.  This rate differs from the federal statutory rate
due to utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and recognition of
deferred tax assets and tax credits.

 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of September 30, 1997, the Company's principal sources of liquidity
were its cash and cash equivalent balances of approximately $27.4 million, its
marketable securities of approximately $15.6 million, and its accounts
receivable of approximately $9.0 million.  As of the end of fiscal year 1996,
the Company's cash and cash equivalent balances were approximately $21.3
million, its marketable securities were approximately $9.8 million, and its

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (continued)

accounts receivable were approximately $3.2 million.  The overall increase in
cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities was due primarily to the
favorable operating results, collection of deferred annual maintenance
contracts, and proceeds from exercises of stock options.  The increase in
accounts receivable over year end was primarily due to an unusually large number
of product sales in the fourth quarter of 1996 being paid in full before year
end. In addition, the Company has an agreement for a working capital line of
credit with a bank for maximum borrowings up to $2.0 million based on eligible
receivables, as defined.  There were no outstanding balances under the line of
credit as of September 30, 1997.

     At September 30, 1997, the working capital of the Company increased to
approximately $32.1 million from approximately $18.7 million as of December 31,
1996.  The increase was primarily attributable to increases in cash and cash
equivalents, marketable securities, and accounts receivable due to the favorable
operating results for the first nine months of 1997.

     Management believes, based on its current operating plan, that the
Company's existing cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, cash
generated from operations, and amounts available under its working capital line
of credit will be sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements for the
next twelve months.
