                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   The 1995 and 1994 financial statements (except for the December 31, 1994
Balance Sheet) included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit,
and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of those of a normal recurring
nature) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim
periods.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted, although the Company believes that
the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December
31, 1994, contained in the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders and Form 10-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

3.   Income taxes paid (refunds received) during the three months ended March
31, 1995 and 1994 were $(301,000) and $59,000, respectively.

4.   On March 31, 1995, Touch-Talk, Incorporated ("Touch-Talk"), a company
specializing in the creation of custom software and application development
tools, was merged into the Company in a transaction accounted for as a pooling
of interests. The Company issued 150,000 shares of its common stock in
exchange for all outstanding shares of Touch-Talk common stock.  The net assets
of Touch-Talk amounted to $388,000 at March 31, 1995.  The effect of the pooling
is immaterial to the Company's operations and, accordingly, prior years'
financial statements have not been restated.  The Company's first quarter
results include Touch-Talk revenues of $464,000 and income from operations of
approximately $100,000.

                         PART I:   FINANCIAL INFORMATION


ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Total revenues increased $4,635,000, or 32.2%, compared to the same period
in 1994.  Domestic system sales, consisting of general purpose voice response
systems and electronic publishing systems, increased 13.0%, from $7,136,000 to
$8,067,000.  General purpose voice response system sales increased from
$4,441,000 to $6,394,000, or 44.0%, primarily due to system sales to value-added
resellers providing equipment to major U.S. companies.  Electronic publishing
system sales decreased from $2,695,000 to $1,673,000, or 37.9%, due primarily to
decreased system sales to regional Bell operating companies.  The Company
believes that the market for electronic publishing systems is beginning to
mature and that sales of these systems will be more difficult to achieve in
future periods.


     International system sales increased 88.3%, from $2,165,000 to $4,076,000.
This improvement was primarily due to sales of VoiceSelect-TM-, a product used
by cellular telephone companies to provide "hands-free" dialing to cellular
subscribers, and to the introduction of the Voice Services Director, a voice
messaging product marketed by the Company's foreign subsidiaries.

     Service revenues increased $1,793,000, or 35.1%, due primarily to increased
service contract and repair revenues and managed services revenues.  Service
contract and repair revenues increased 51.2%, from $1,811,000 to $2,739,000, due
to the Company's emphasis on expanding its base of customers who subscribe for
quarterly or annual maintenance contracts. Managed services revenues increased
37.7%, from $2,148,000 to $2,957,000, due to an expanding customer base and a
larger number of end users.  Information services and other service revenues
increased from $1,145,000 to $1,201,000, or 4.9%, due to an increase in the
Company's customer base.

     Cost of system sales increased $818,000, or 19.4%, while decreasing as a
percentage of system sales from 45.4% to 41.5%.  The increase in actual costs
was due to an increase in the number of systems shipped.  The decrease as a
percentage of system sales was due to increased margins on the Company's
domestic system sales, resulting from an increase in software licenses and
applications sold as part of the Company's voice response systems when compared
to a year ago.  Software sales typically provide larger margins than those
associated with hardware.

     Cost of service revenues increased $811,000, or 23.4%, while decreasing as
a percentage of service revenues from 67.9% to 62.0%.  The increase in actual
costs was due primarily to increased  staffing requirements in the customer
support and managed services departments.  The decrease as a percentage of
revenues was due to a combination of factors.  900 Voice Personals revenues,
which typically have lower margins than other components of managed services
revenues, decreased as a percentage of the total product mix compared to the
same period a year ago, thus improving overall margins.  In addition, the
Company has negotiated more favorable terms with the long distance carrier
providing 900 access, billing and collection


                                       -8-

<PAGE>

services for the Company's 900 Voice Personals services, thus reducing the
variable costs associated with such services.

     Operating expenses increased 36.3%, from $5,563,000 to $7,585,000, due
primarily to increased selling, general and administrative expenses.  Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased from $4,276,000 to $6,007,000, or
40.5%, primarily because of additional staff required for the Company's
expanding international operations.  Research and engineering expenses increased
$291,000, or 22.6%, due to the addition of research engineers to support the
Company's continued commitment to product development.

     Other income increased by $76,000, or 105.6%.  Interest income increased
from $88,000 to $123,000, or 39.8%, due to higher yields and a higher average
balance of funds invested during the period.  Interest expense decreased from
$26,000 to zero, or 100%, because the Company paid off the remainder of its debt
at the end of 1994.

     The provision for income taxes was 26.0% for the three months ended March
31, 1995 compared to 28.2% for the same period in 1994.  The variance in the
effective income tax rate from the United States statutory rate for both periods
was due to the ability to utilize net operating loss and credit carryforwards
acquired through the merger with Perception Technology partially offset by
higher tax rates imposed on its European subsidiaries.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of March 31, 1995, the Company had a current ratio of 2.8 to 1, and
working capital of $25,784,000, compared to a current ratio of 2.9 to 1 and
working capital of $24,169,000 at December 31, 1994.  Cash and cash equivalents
and temporary investments decreased from $9,452,000 at December 31, 1994 to
$7,726,000 at March 31, 1995, primarily due to increases in accounts receivable
and  inventory, and purchases of property and equipment.

     Accounts receivable and inventory increased by $4,241,000 and $917,000,
respectively, during the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  Accounts receivable
increased primarily due to extended payment terms granted to certain
international customers, and the inclusion of Touch-Talk receivables at the
end of the period.  The increase in inventory occurred primarily as a
result of the anticipation of sales increases by the Company's foreign
subsidiaries.   These foreign subsidiaries require longer lead  times for
certain components which are included in customer systems.   The increases in
receivables and inventory were funded by increases in current liabilities and
decreases in the Company's cash balances.

     Property and equipment increased significantly during the three month
period in 1995 due primarily to expansion and remodeling of the Company's
Wichita and Dallas facilities.  While the Company expects capital expenditures
to continue during the year, it does not expect the increases to continue at the
rate experienced in the first quarter.

     The Company regularly invests excess funds in short-term securities, such
as bankers' acceptances, government obligations and variable rate demand notes,
having maturities up to one year.  Management believes that restricting
investments to these types of securities maximizes financial flexibility and
minimizes exposure to interest rate and market risks.  The Company utilizes
these investments as a source of


                                       -9-

<PAGE>

liquidity, to the extent that cash requirements exceed short-term cash receipts.
The Company has no bank lines of credit or other credit arrangements.

     The Company has no significant capital commitments and believes that
working capital on hand and funds provided from future operations will be
sufficient to fund all of the Company's known short-term and long-term capital
requirements.

INFLATION

     Inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's results of
operations.  Because of the competitive nature of the computer industry, the
costs of parts used in the Company's products have remained relatively stable.
However, should inflation rise to higher levels, the Company believes that such
inflationary costs would be passed on to customers by both the Company and its
competition.
