                            EXPLANATORY NOTE

         On March 30,  1998,  Fonix  Corporation,  a Delaware  corporation  (the
"Company" or "Fonix"),  filed a Current Report on Form 8-K dated as of March 13,
1998, and pertaining to the Merger of AcuVoice,  Inc., a California  corporation
with and into Fonix Acquisition  Corporation,  a wholly-owned  subsidiary of the
Company.  On May 21,  1998,  the Company  filed  Amendment  No. 1 to the Current
Report to submit the audited and  unaudited  financial  statements  of AcuVoice,
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.

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

The Company  established a wholly owned  subsidiary for the purpose of acquiring
AcuVoice,  Inc., a California  corporation,  in a merger transaction.  After the
acquisition, the subsidiary, which was the surviving entity, changed its name to
fonix/AcuVoice,  Inc.  ("fonix/AcuVoice").  fonix/AcuVoice  develops and markets
text-to-speech  or  speech  synthesis  technologies  and  products  directly  to
end-users,  systems integrators and original equipment  manufacturers for use in
the telecommunications, multi-media, education and assistive technology markets.
The acquisition was completed on March 13, 1998. The Company exchanged 2,692,216
shares of restricted  common stock (having a market value of $16,995,972 on that
date)  and a cash  payment  of  approximately  $8,000,000  for  all of the  then
outstanding common shares of AcuVoice,  Inc. The AcuVoice,  Inc. acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase.

The excess of the  purchase  price over the  estimated  fair market value of the
acquired  tangible  net  assets of  AcuVoice,  Inc.  was  $25,339,840,  of which
$11,192,000  was  capitalized  as  purchased  core  technology,  $4,832,840  was
capitalized  as goodwill and  $9,315,000  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 three months ended March
31, 1998, present the results of operations of the Company as if the acquisition
of AcuVoice, Inc. had occurred on January 1, 1997. AcuVoice,  Inc.'s fiscal year
ended November 30 and fonix corporation's fiscal year ended December 31. 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  months  ended March 31,
1998 and the  historical  financial  statements of AcuVoice,  Inc. and the notes
thereto included elsewhere in this report on Form 8-K/A.

Note 2.  Pro Forma Adjustments

         (a)      Amortization  of $11,192,000 in purchased core  technology and
                  $4,832,840  in  goodwill,  which  are  being  amortized  on  a
                  straight-line basis over eight years.

         (b)      Issuance of  2,692,216  shares of  restricted  common stock in
                  connection  with the  acquisition.  The change in the weighted
                  average  number of  common  shares  outstanding  for the three
                  months ended March 31, 1998, is the  incremental  increase for
                  the period through the date of acquisition.

         (c)      The  historical  operations of  fonix/AcuVoice  for the period
                  from  March 14,  1998 to March 31,  1998 are  included  in the
                  operating  results of fonix  corporation  for the three months
                  ended March 31,  1998.  The results of this 18-day  period are
                  eliminated from the pro forma condensed consolidated statement
                  of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998, so as
                  not to be duplicative when consolidating with the results from
                  the three-month period of AcuVoice, Inc.

         (d)      Purchased in-process research and development in the amount of
                  $9,315,000 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 three
                  months ended March 31, 1998.
