INTERIM REPORTING
     The interim financial statements included in this Form 10-QSB are
unaudited. However, in the opinion of the Company, the interim statements
include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
for the fair statement of the results and balances for the interim periods.

     The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended
December 31, 1996, do not necessarily indicate the results to be expected from
the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
financial statements and notes thereto, contained in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 1996.

INVENTORIES
     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first in,
first out method, and consisted of the following:

                                             December 31,      June 30,

                                             =========        =========


EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
     The loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss (less the
preferred stock dividend) by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock reported for that period. Common stock equivalents, such as options,
warrants and convertible securities were not included in the calculation as
their effect on amounts reported would be antidilutive.


MAJOR CUSTOMERS
     Sales during the first six months of fiscal 1997 to Fujitsu Business
Communication Systems (FBCS) amounted to 10.5% of total product sales and
accounted for 8.5% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 1996. Sales during
the first six months of fiscal 1996 to FBCS amounted to 23.9% of total product
sales and accounted for 7.5% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 1995.


PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2 - MD & A

                                 TELIDENT, INC.
                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking terminology such as
"believes", "anticipates", "expects" and "intends" or comparable terminology.
Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those projected. Potential purchasers
of the Company's securities are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such
forward-looking statements which are qualified in their entirety by the cautions
and risks described herein.

     Telident designs, manufactures and markets proprietary hardware and
software systems which provide the exact location of a 911 telephone call to the
emergency dispatcher who receives the call. The Company's systems provide
information which can shorten the response time to a 911 call, reduce the costs
associated with responses to incorrect locations and improve the safety of
individuals within a private branch exchange ("PBX") telephone system. In
addition, the Company manufactures and markets network hardware that provides
switching, selective routing and data interfacing capabilities to public and
private telephone networks and city, county and state government agencies.
Telident also provides these customers with a variety of emergency information
processing and management software systems.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three and Six month periods of fiscal 1996 compared to fiscal 1997. The Company
had revenues for the three and six month periods of fiscal 1997 of $625,418 and
$1,451,787, respectively, compared with $437,247 and $1,438,521 for the similar
1996 periods, an increase of 43.0% and 0.9%, respectively. The Station
Translation System (STS) product sales accounted for 86.5% and 89.3% of the
sales in the three and six month periods of fiscal 1997, compared to 77.1% in
the comparable fiscal 1996 periods. The increase in revenues during fiscal 1997
was attributable to the increase in "end-user" direct sales of the Company's STS
products versus distributor sales. Public safety product sales have declined as
a result of the Company's strategic decision to focus on the STS market.

     Cost of sales as a percentage of product revenues was 31.2% in the
respective periods for fiscal 1997, compared to 29.5% and 28.9%, respectively,
for the similar 1996 periods. Gross margin decreased to 68.8% for the three and
six month periods of fiscal 1997, respectively, compared to 70.5% and 71.1% for
the similar 1996 periods. The decrease in gross margin was due to the discounted
pricing offered to distributors and resellers.

     Total operating expenses increased by $174,807 and $484,210 in the 1997
three and six month periods, respectively, compared to the similar 1996 periods.
Sales and marketing expense increased $110,852 and $272,264 in the 1997 three
and six month periods, respectively, compared to the similar 1996 periods, as a
result of the increase in the Company's sales and marketing staff, as well as
the addition of sales offices in Atlanta, Chicago, San Francisco and Los
Angeles. The Company also hired a director of sales in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997.

     Research and development expenses increased $85,378 and $196,382 in the
1997 three and six month periods, respectively, compared to the similar 1996
periods, due to the addition of a Director of Operations in September 1995, the
addition of two software programmers, two hardware engineers and the increased
use of consultants for product development which were added subsequent to the
fiscal 1996 period.

     General and administrative expenses for the 1997 three and six month
periods decreased $21,423 and increased $15,564, respectively, compared to the
similar 1996 periods. The increase was primarily due to the additional travel
expense incurred and expenses associated with the Company's public offering in
August 1996.

     Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased $75,805 and $82,279 in
the 1997 three and six month periods, respectively, as a result of the public
offering of 1,150,000 shares of the Company's common stock in August of 1996
which generated net proceeds of $2.89 million, and the conversion of debt into
the Company's common stock during fiscal 1996.

INFLATION
     Inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's net sales or
results of operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     At December 31, 1996 the Company had cash of $661,448 and accounts
receivable of approximately $1,240,000. In the first six months of fiscal 1997,
net cash used in the Company's operating activities was approximately
$1,204,000, consisting primarily of the Company's loss from operations
($947,000), and the increase in accounts receivable ($532,000). The Company
invested approximately $118,000 related to intangible assets, and another
$85,000 for additional office equipment and computers. Funds required to finance
the Company's operations and investments during fiscal 1997 were provided by the
August 1996 public offering of common stock, resulting in net proceeds of
approximately $2.89 million. Upon completion of this stock offering, the Company
repaid $1,020,000 of bridge notes. The Company has relied on debt and equity
capital to fund its operating losses during fiscal 1997 and prior periods.

     Based on projected revenues and expenses, the Company believes that the net
proceeds of the recently completed public offering together with cash from
operations will be adequate to fund the Company's working capital requirements
through June 30, 1997. However, current cash resources are not adequate to
enable the Company to retire $993,000 of convertible debentures that mature on
July 15, 1997, or to cover a decrease in projected revenues in the event that
the Company's sales are less than anticipated. The Company is currently seeking
to refinance or restructure its indebtedness to debenture holders and has also
undertaken a plan of personnel and expense reduction. While the Company's plan
has been to invest heavily in market development, as well as a continuous
program of research and development, the Company intends to focus on retaining
only those personnel and making those expenditures that are essential to the
maintenance of core products. This plan could affect or delay new product entry
strategies, but the Company is firmly committed to funding operations through
its operational cash flow.

     The Company is exploring certain funding possibilities, but has no
agreements which would provide the Company with additional debt or equity
capital and there can be no assurance that if additional funds are required,
that they will be available, or if available, available on terms acceptable to
the Company. Any restructuring or extension of debt may have a possible dilutive
effect on the Company's shareholders as a result of the issuance of additional
securities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional capital and the
debenture holders are unwilling or unable to convert or extend the debentures,
the Company would be in default on the debentures. Failure to refinance the
debentures could result in the reduction or cesstation of the Company's business
operations. At December 31, 1996, the Company had an accumulated deficit of
$10,229,885 and shareholders' equity of $1,932,773. The Company has no material
commitments for capital expenditures for fiscal 1997.


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is the subject of a counterclaim in a suit the Company filed in
Federal District Court for the District of Minnesota, File No. 3-96-1107,
against GE Capital-ResCom, L.P. ("GE"). The Company commenced this action
against GE on November 27, 1996 to recover approximately $300,000 for GE's
failure to purchase certain 911 telecommunication systems, GE's failure to pay
full price for certain 911 systems, and GE's failure to reimburse the Company
for the costs incurred developing related products pursuant to the terms and
conditions of a contract between GE and the Company.

GE filed an Answer and Counterclaim against the Company on December 31, 1996,
alleging the Company was liable for fraud, misrepresentation and breach of
warranty for failing to provide GE with telecommunications products capable of
performing the tasks GE required. GE seeks rescission and/or cancellation of the
contract and damages in excess of $50,000. The Company filed a Reply to GE's
counterclaim on January 24, 1997, denying all liability thereon. Discovery has
not yet commenced. The Company continues to seek a resolution to this matter and
pursue its claims against GE and defend against the counterclaims. The Company
believes that it has sound defenses to GE's counterclaim.


ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES.

     (c)  During the quarter ended December 31, 1996, the Company sold the
          following securities that were not registered under the Securities
          Act:

          (1)  On October 29 and December 18, 1996, the Company directly issued
               4,634 shares of Common Stock, par value $.02 per share, to four
               of its outside directors in lieu of directors' fees equaling
               $2,500 per director. No public offering of the shares was
               involved.
