                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Board of Directors
Brite Voice Systems, Inc.
Wichita, Kansas

    We  have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Brite Voice
Systems, Inc., (a Kansas corporation) and  subsidiaries as of December 31,  1995
and  1994, and the related  consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for each of  the three years in the period ended  December
31,  1995. These  financial statements are  the responsibility  of the Company's
management. Our  responsibility is  to  express an  opinion on  these  financial
statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of the
TSL  Companies, companies acquired during 1995 in a transaction accounted for as
a pooling of interests, as discussed in Note 2. Such statements are included  in
the  consolidated financial statements  of the Company  and reflect total assets
and total revenues of  7 percent and  17 percent in  1994, respectively, and  20
percent  of total revenues in 1993, of the consolidated totals. These statements
were audited by other  auditors whose report  has been furnished  to us and  our
opinion,  insofar as it  relates to amounts  included for the  TSL Companies, is
based solely upon the report of the other auditors.

    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 of 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 and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion  based on our  audit and  the report of  other auditors,  the
financial  statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects,
the financial  position of  Brite Voice  Systems, Inc.  and subsidiaries  as  of
December  31, 1995 and 1994, and the  results of their operations and their cash
flows for each  of the three  years in the  period ended December  31, 1995,  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

   
    Our  audit  was made  for the  purpose of  forming an  opinion on  the basic
financial statements  taken as  a whole.  The schedule  listed in  the index  of
financial  statements is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities
and Exchange  Commission's  rules  and  is  not  part  of  the  basic  financial
statements.  This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the  audit of  the basic  financial statements  and, in  our opinion,  fairly
states  in all  material respects  the financial data  required to  be set forth
therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                  YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993

NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    NATURE OF BUSINESS AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

    The  Company  designs,  integrates, assembles,  markets  and  supports voice
processing systems  and services  which  incorporate audiotex,  voice  response,
voice   recognition,   voice/facsimile   messaging   and   interactive  computer
applications into customized market solutions.  The Company also offers a  broad
array of telecommunications consulting services. These markets are characterized
by  rapid  technological  change,  and  the Company  is  subject  to  many risks
associated with this rapid  change, including obsolescence  of its products  and
services,  warranty charges and estimates of  costs required to complete certain
projects after shipment  of a system.  In addition, the  Company has elected  to
purchase  certain components from  sole suppliers. Although  there are a limited
number of manufacturers of these particular components, management believes that
the other suppliers could provide similar products on comparable terms. A change
in suppliers, however, could cause a delay in manufacturing and a possible  loss
of sales, which would affect operating results adversely.

    The  financial  statements  include various  estimates,  including estimated
reserves for obsolete inventory,  uncollectible accounts, warranty reserves  and
costs  to complete  certain projects. These  estimates have  been established by
management using  historical operations  data. There  can be  no assurance  that
these estimates will not change as additional information becomes available.

    The  consolidated financial statements  include the accounts  of the Company
and its subsidiaries.  All significant inter-company  accounts and  transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.

    INVENTORIES

    Inventories  are stated at the  lower of cost or  market. Cost is determined
using the first-in, first-out method and includes the cost of materials,  direct
labor  and manufacturing overhead. Provision is made for obsolete or slow moving
items where appropriate.

    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

    Property and equipment are  stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed  using
the  straight-line method  over the estimated  useful lives of  the assets which
range from  three to  10  years for  furniture and  equipment  to 35  years  for
buildings and improvements.

    RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING

    Costs  associated with internal development  of new products or enhancements
of existing products are expensed as incurred because the marketability of  such
products is not determinable until substantially all the costs are incurred.

    REVENUE RECOGNITION

    Revenues  from the sale  of systems generally  are recognized upon shipment.
Software revenue  is recognized  in accordance  with the  American Institute  of
Certified  Public  Accountants  Statement  91-1,  Software  Revenue Recognition.
Revenues  from  maintenance  and  consulting  services,  and  audio  information
contracts  for installed systems are recognized ratably over the service period.
Revenues from service bureau operations  and consulting services are  recognized
when  the services are provided. Revenues from billing verification services are
recognized when claim proceeds are received from the telephone company.

    CREDIT RISK

    The Company  extends unsecured  credit to  customers throughout  the  United
States and in certain foreign countries.

NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

    INCOME TAXES

    Deferred  tax  liabilities  and assets  are  recognized for  the  future tax
consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements  or
tax returns. (See Note 6)

    FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION ADJUSTMENT

    Financial  statements  of  the  Company's  foreign  subsidiaries  have  been
translated into U.S. dollars  at current and  average exchange rates.  Resulting
translation  adjustments are recorded  as a separate  component of stockholders'
equity. Any  transaction  gains  or  losses are  included  in  the  Consolidated
Statements of Operations.

    EARNINGS PER SHARE

    Earnings per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of
shares outstanding of 11,922,000, 11,526,000 and 11,068,000, for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. All options are considered to be
common  stock equivalents but are  only included in the  weighted average to the
extent that they are dilutive.

    NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board   has  issued  SFAS  No.   121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to
be  Disposed  of".  This  standard  provides  a  framework  for  evaluating  the
realizability of the Company's investments  in long-lived assets. At this  time,
the Company does not anticipate that adoption of the standard, which is required
in  1996, will have a material impact  on its results of operations or financial
position. The Financial  Accounting Standards  Board also issued  SFAS No.  123,
"Accounting for Stock Based Compensation". Adoption of this standard is required
in  1996. Under the new  standard, the Company must  either change its method of
computing the compensation expense associated with the issuance of stock options
or make pro forma disclosures based on the new computation method. At this time,
the  Company  anticipates  adopting  the  standard  by  making  the  pro   forma
disclosures.

    TEMPORARY INVESTMENTS

    The Company is required to classify debt and equity securities into specific
categories  and present  them in the  financial statements  under the guidelines
established for each  category. At December  31, 1994, all  investments in  debt
securities  were  classified as  held-to-maturity  because the  Company  had the
positive intent and ability to hold  the securities to maturity. The  securities
had  short-term  maturities,  were  presented  at  amortized  cost,  and  had an
aggregate fair value which approximated cost.

NOTE 2 -- ACQUISITIONS

Effective August 9,  1995, the  Company issued  3,331,000 shares  of its  common
stock  for  all of  the  outstanding common  stock  of Telecom  Services Limited
(U.S.), Inc.,  Telecom Services  Limited (West),  Inc., TSL  Software  Services,
Inc., and TSL Management Group, Inc. (collectively the "TSL Companies" or "TSL")
and  the TSL Companies were merged into  the Company (the "TSL Merger"). The TSL
Merger has been accounted  for as a pooling  of interests and, accordingly,  the

</TABLE>

    Prior to  the  TSL Merger,  the  TSL Companies  elected  to be  taxed  as  S
corporations  under the Internal Revenue  Code. This election eliminates federal
income taxes at the  corporate level, as  a result of  which the TSL  Companies'
profits  were included in the  income tax returns of  their stockholders for all
periods through  the date  of the  TSL Merger.  Accordingly, the  TSL  Companies
distributed  the majority  of their taxable  earnings in the  form of additional
compensation to officers and shareholders. Distributions in excess of the salary
and bonus  amounts contracted  for  in the  employment agreements  entered  into
between  the  Company  and certain  of  the TSL  Stockholders,  were $4,303,000,
$6,989,000 and $2,292,000  for the  period ended August  8, 1995  and the  years
ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. No adjustments have been made to
the provision for income taxes, to reflect the impact had the TSL Companies been
subject to federal income taxes as the adjustment is immaterial.

    Merger  expenses of  $3,509,000 were charged  to expense  during 1995. These
expenses represent brokerage, legal and other professional fees associated  with
the consummation of the TSL Merger.

    On March 31, 1995, the Company issued 150,000 shares of its common stock for
all  of  the  outstanding  common stock  of  Touch-Talk,  Inc.  (the "Touch-Talk
Merger"), and Touch-Talk was merged into the Company. The Touch-Talk Merger  has
been accounted for as a pooling of interests. The net assets of Touch-Talk, Inc.
were $560,000 at March 31, 1995. The effect of this pooling is immaterial to the
operations  of the Company  and, accordingly, prior  years' financial statements
have not been restated.

being amortized over  a five year  period. In September  1995, due to  continued
unprofitability of the product, the Company wrote off $818,000, representing the
balance  of the prepaid  royalties and the  net book value  of certain equipment
related to the project. This charge is included in Merger and other costs in the
accompanying Statements of Operations.

    Goodwill  and  other  intangible  assets  are  being  amortized  using   the
straight-line  method  over the  estimated  useful lives  of  the assets  or the
specific contract  term,  which  range  from three  to  10  years.  Amortization
expense,  including the amortization of prepaid  royalties, was $619,000 in 1995
