                            EXPLANATORY NOTE

         On September 17, 1998, Fonix Corporation,  a Delaware  corporation (the
"Company" or "Fonix"),  filed a Current Report on Form 8-K dated as of September
2, 1998,  and pertaining to the Merger of Articulate  Systems,  Inc., a Delaware
corporation with and into ASI Acquisition Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company.  On November 16, 1998, the Company filed  Amendment No. 1 to the
Current  Report to submit the  audited and  unaudited  financial  statements  of
Articulate Systems,  Inc., and certain pro forma financial  information required
by Item 7 of Form 8-K.  This  Amendment  No. 2 is filed to provide  revised  pro
forma financial  information and related notes to reflect the revised  valuation
of  purchased  in-process  research  and  development.  Because  the audited and
unaudited  financial  statements filed with Amendment No. 1 did not change,  the
Company is not refiling the audited or unaudited financial statements.

                        [A Development Stage Company]
            NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING
                          STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

The Company  created a wholly  owned  subsidiary  for the  purpose of  acquiring
Articulate  Systems,  Inc. ("ASI"),  a Massachusetts  corporation,  in September
1998. After the acquisition, the subsidiary changed its name to fonix/Articulate
Systems,   Inc.   ("fonix/Articulate").   fonix/Articulate   is  a  provider  of
sophisticated voice recognition  products to specialized  segments of the health
care  industry.  The merger was closed on September 2, 1998, in connection  with
which the Company exchanged  5,140,751 shares of restricted common stock (having
a market value of $8,353,720 on that date),  cash payment of $7,787,249  and 8.5
percent  demand notes in the aggregate  amount of $4,747,339 for all of the then
outstanding common shares of ASI. Additionally,  the Company issued 98,132 stock
options in exchange for all of ASI's stock  options  outstanding  on the date of
acquisition  at an  exchange  rate  based on the  relative  fair  values  of the
companies'  common stocks.  The estimated fair value of the options was $130,000
using the Black-Scholes option pricing method. The ASI acquisition was accounted
for as a  purchase.  The results of  operations  of  fonix/Articulate  have been
included in the  historical  results of  operations  of fonix from  September 2,
1998, the date of the acquisition.

The excess of the  purchase  price over the  estimated  fair market value of the
acquired  tangible net assets of ASI was $23,714,256,  of which  $13,945,000 was
capitalized as purchased core technology, $5,948,256 was capitalized as goodwill
and $3,821,000 was expensed as purchased in-process research and development.

The  accompanying  unaudited  pro forma  condensed  consolidated  statements  of
operations  for the year  ended  December  31,  1997 and the nine  months  ended
September  30, 1998,  present the results of operations of the Company as if the
acquisition  of ASI had occurred on January 1, 1997.  The pro forma results have
been prepared for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative
of the results  which would have occurred had the  acquisition  been effected on
January 1, 1997, nor are they indicative of actual or future operating  results.
These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations should
be read in conjunction with the condensed  consolidated financial statements and
the notes thereto  included in the Company's  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and the historical  financial
statements  of ASI and the notes  thereto  included  elsewhere in this report on
Form 8-K/A.

Note 2.  Pro Forma Adjustments

         (a)      Amortization  of $13,945,000 in purchased core  technology and
                  $5,948,256  in  goodwill,  which  are  being  amortized  on  a
                  straight-line basis over eight years.

         (b)      Interest   on   8.5   percent   demand  notes  issued  to  ASI
                  shareholders  for 1997 and from  January 1, 1998, through  the
                  date of acquisition.

         (c)      Issuance of  5,140,751  shares of  restricted  common stock in
                  connection  with the  acquisition.  The change in the weighted
                  average  number  of  common  shares  outstanding  for the nine
                  months ended  September 30, 1998 is the  incremental  increase
                  for the period through the date of acquisition.

         (d)      Purchased in-process research and development in the amount of
                  $3,821,000 was expensed at the date of the  acquisition.  This
                  expense is a non recurring charge directly attributable to the
                  acquisition  and is  therefore  eliminated  from the pro forma
                  condensed  consolidating  statement of operations for the nine
                  months ended September 30, 1998.

         (e)      Dividends and beneficial  conversion  features  related to the
                  issuance of Series D 4% Convertible Preferred Stock which were
                  used to fund the cash portion of the purchase price of ASI.
