                  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 six month periods ended June 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 June 30, 1997
consist principally of commercial paper 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 June 30, 1997 was approximately
equal to amortized cost. Gross unrealized holding losses at June 30, 1997 were
approximately $487.

                                  (Unaudited)


5.  Provision for Income Taxes

    The Company has available significant net operating loss carryforwards.
However, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company
provided for federal alternative minimum tax and 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 when diluted.  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 the fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997
and early adoption is not permitted. When adopted, the statement will require

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 to common stock.

               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996

     Total revenue for the second quarter of 1997 increased approximately $5.5
million, or 43.5% compared to the same period in 1996, while total revenue for
the first six months of 1997 increased approximately $11.4 million, or 47.2%
compared to the same period in 1996.

     Product revenue increased approximately $3.8 million, or 44.0% to $12.5
million in the second quarter of 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996.
Product revenue for the first six months of 1997 increased approximately $8.0
million, or 49.2% to $24.3 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 approximately $.5 million, or 20.3% to
$3.1 million for the second quarter of 1997, but as a percentage of product
revenue decreased 4.9% as compared to the second quarter of 1996. Cost of
product revenue for the first six months of 1997 increased $1.1 million, or
23.5% to $5.9 million, but as a percentage of product revenue decreased 5.0% 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 $1.7 million, or 42.2% to $5.6
million for the second quarter of 1997 as compared to the second quarter of
1996. Service revenue for the first six months of 1997 increased $3.3 million,
or 43.0% to $11.1 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 in the
first quarter of 1997 generated in Europe.

     Cost of service revenue increased approximately $1.0 million, or 39.4% to
$3.6 million for the second quarter of 1997. Cost of service revenue for the
first six months of 1997 increased approximately $2.0 million, or 40.4% to $7.1
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 1.3% and 1.2% for the second quarter and first six months
respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1996. These decreases are
primarily attributable to the higher service revenue relative to fixed costs.

                                  (continued)


     Research, development and engineering expenses increased approximately $.6
million, or 42.2% to $2.0 million for the second quarter of 1997 as compared to
the second quarter of 1996. Research, development and engineering expenses
increased approximately $1.2 million, or 45.1% to $3.9 million for the first six
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
decreased from 11.2% for the second quarter of 1996 to 11.1% for the second
quarter of 1997 and from 11.1% for the first six months of 1996 to 11.0% for the
first six months of 1997.

     Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by
approximately $1.3 million or 31.1% to $5.3 million for the second quarter of
1997 as compared to the second quarter of 1996. SG&A expenses for the first six
months of 1997 increased approximately $2.7 million, or 34.4% to $10.4 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 second quarter of 1996 to 29.2% for the second quarter of
1997 and from 32.1% for the first six months of 1996 to 29.3% for the first six
months of 1997. These decreases are due primarily to the increase in revenue.

     Interest income in 1997 was derived primarily from money market instruments
and investments in commercial paper and government securities. Interest income
increased 108.2% and 124.6% for the second quarter and first six months of 1997
respectively, compared to the same periods in 1996. This increase reflects 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 tax credits.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of June 30, 1997, the Company's principal sources of liquidity were its
cash and cash equivalent balances of approximately $28.4 million, its marketable
securities of approximately $9.5 million, and its accounts receivable of
approximately $8.6 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

                                  (continued)



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 a large number of product
sales in the fourth quarter of 1996 being paid in full at the time of revenue
recognition. In addition, the Company has an agreement for a working capital
line of credit with a bank for up to $2.0 million based on eligible receivables,
as defined. There were no outstanding balances under the line of credit as of
June 30, 1997.

     At June 30, 1997, the working capital of the Company increased to
approximately $27.4 million from approximately $18.7 million as of December 31,
1996. The increase was primarily attributable to the net income of approximately
$8.0 million for the first six 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.


CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

     From time to time, information provided by the Company, statements made by
its employees or information included in its filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (including this Form 10-Q) may contain statements which are
not historical facts, so-called "forward-looking statements," which involve risk
and uncertainties. The Company's actual future results may differ significantly
from those stated in any forward-looking statements.

     The Company's quarterly and annual operating results are affected by a wide
variety of factors that could have a materially adverse affect on revenues and
profitability, including, but not limited to: the timing of customer orders, the
ability to introduce new products on a timely basis, introduction of products
and technologies by the Company's competitors, and market acceptance of the
Company's and its competitors' products. As a result of the foregoing and other
factors, the Company may experience material fluctuations in future operating
results on a quarterly or annual basis which could materially and adversely
affect its business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.
