REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Trustee of
Premiere Technologies, Inc.
401(k) Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the PREMIERE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 401(K) PLAN as of December 31, 1999
and 1998 and the related statement of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the year then ended.  These financial statements and the schedules
referred to below are the responsibility of the Plan's administrator.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the
schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States.  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 in 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 provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

As described in Note 2, these financial statements and schedules were prepared
on the cash basis of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting
other than generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes and schedule of nonexempt transactions are
presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of
the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental schedules
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the
basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SCHEDULES


                          DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998

 1. PLAN DESCRIPTION

    The following description of the Premiere Technologies, Inc. 401(k) Plan
    (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to
    the plan document or the summary plan description for a more complete
    description of the Plan's provisions.

    General

    The Plan is a defined contribution plan administered by the board of
    directors of Premiere Technologies, Inc. (the "Company" or the "Employer").
    Patrick G. Jones and Robert S. Vaters are trustees for the Plan
    (collectively referred to as "Trustee"). Effective December 1, 1999, T. Rowe
    Price Trust Company was appointed as custodian (the "Custodian") of the
    Plan, replacing Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company ("Great-West").

    In June 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of Voice-Tel
    Enterprises, Inc. ("VTE"). In connection with this purchase, the Company
    became the sponsor of the VTE 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan & Trust and
    the Cleveland Voice-Tel ("CTE") 401(k) Plan as well as the Voice-Tel 401(k)
    Plan. The assets for the VTE 401(k) Plan and the CTE 401(k) Plan were merged
    into the Plan on January 1, 1998. The VTE 401(k) Plan was merged into the
    Plan on July 9, 1999. For the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999, the
    Company acquired Xpedite Systems, Inc. ("Xpedite") and Intellivoice
    Communications, Inc. ("Intellivoice"), respectively. Relative to the Xpedite
    acquisition, the Company became the sponsor for the Xpedite 401(k) Plan,
    ViTel International, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, and Swift Global
    Communications, Inc. 401(k) Plan. In connection with the Intellivoice
    acquisition, the Company became the sponsor for the Intellivoice Employee
    Savings Plan. The assets for plans assumed in the Xpedite and Intellivoice
    acquisitions were merged into the Plan on December 1, 1999. The Plan is
    subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
    1974, as amended.

    Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Position ("SOP")
    99-3, "Accounting for and Reporting of Certain Defined Contribution Plan
    Investments and Other Disclosure Matters." SOP 99-3 establishes new
    disclosure requirements for defined contribution plans.

    Eligibility

    Effective on and after December 1, 1999, all covered employees of the
    Company, as defined by the Plan, are eligible to participate in the Plan as
    of the first day of the month following 30 days of employment. All part-
    time, temporary, or seasonable associates, as defined by the Plan, are
    eligible to participate in the Plan after completion of 12 continuous months
    of employment ("service year") and having worked 1,000 hours within that
    service year. These participants may enroll in the Plan the next January 1
    or July 1 after the above-mentioned specified requirements are met.

    Employee Contributions

    Participants may elect to contribute, on a pretax basis, up to 20% of their
    eligible compensation, as defined by the Plan. Contributions may be invested
    in 1% increments totaling, but not exceeding, 100%
<PAGE>

                                      -2-


    into any of the investment options offered by the Plan. A participant may
    prospectively change the percentage of his/her contribution at any time. The
    change will generally be effective the next pay period.

    Effective December 1, 1999, the following funds were offered by the Plan:

         Janus Fund

         This mutual fund seeks long-term growth of capital in a manner
         consistent with the preservation of capital. It pursues its objective
         by investing primarily in common stocks selected for their growth
         potential. Although the fund can invest in companies of any size, it
         generally invests in larger, more established companies.

         Pimco Total Return II

         This mutual fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by
         investing under normal circumstances at least 65% of its assets in a
         diversified portfolio of fixed income instruments of varying
         maturities. The average portfolio duration of this fund normally varies
         within a three- to six-year term time frame based on PIMCO's forecast
         for interest rates. The fund may invest only in U.S. dollar-denominated
         securities of U.S. issuers that are rated at least Baa by Moody's or
         BBB by S&P.

         MFS Capital Opportunities

         This mutual fund seeks to invest, under normal market conditions, at
         least 65% of its total assets in common stocks and related securities,
         such as preferred stock, convertible securities, and depositary
         receipts. The fund focuses on companies that have favorable growth
         prospects and attractive valuations based on current and expected
         earnings or cash flow.

         MAS Small-Cap Value

         This mutual fund invests primarily in common stocks and other equity
         securities with equity capitalizations in the range of companies
         included in the Russell 2000 Index. The fund focuses on stocks that are
         undervalued based on the adviser's proprietary measures of value.

         Putnam International Growth

         This mutual fund generally diversifies its investments among a number
         of different countries by investing at least 65% of its total assets in
         at least three countries other than the United States. The fund may
         invest in both growth and value stocks.

         Personal Strategy-Income

         This mutual fund seeks the highest total return over time, consistent
         with a primary emphasis on income and a secondary emphasis on capital
         growth. The fund pursues this objective by investing in a diversified
         portfolio typically consisting of about 40% stocks, 40% bonds, and 20%
         money market securities.

         Personal Strategy-Growth

         This mutual fund seeks the highest total return over time, consistent
         with a primary emphasis on capital growth and a secondary emphasis on
         income. The fund pursues this objective by investing in a diversified
         portfolio typically consisting of about 80% stocks and 20% bonds and
         money market securities.

         International Stock Fund

         This mutual fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments
         primarily in the common stocks of established, non-U.S. companies.

         Equity Index 500 Fund

         This mutual fund seeks to match the performance of the Standard &
         Poor's 500 ("S&P 500"). Stock Index. The S&P 500 is made up of
         primarily large-capitalization companies that represent a broad
         spectrum of the U.S. economy and about 70% of the U.S. stock market's
         total capitalization.

         Dividend Growth Fund

         This mutual fund seeks to provide increasing dividend income over time,
         long-term growth of capital, and a reasonable level of current income
         through investments primarily in dividend-paying stocks.

         TRP Stable Value Fund

         This mutual fund seeks to provide a maximum current income while
         maintaining stability of principal. The fund invests primarily in
         guaranteed investment contracts ("GICs"), bank investment contracts
         ("BICs"), and synthetic investment contracts ("SICs"). GICs, BICs, and
         SICs are types of investment contracts that are designed to provide
         principal stability and a competitive yield.

     Prior to December 1, 1999, participants were able to elect the following
     funds offered under a pooled separate account with Great-West, with the
     exception of the Guaranteed Certificate Funds. Effective December 1, 1999,
     all investments held within the pooled separate accounts were transferred
     to similar funds offered by the Custodian, as noted above. The pooled
     separate accounts invested in the publicly traded mutual funds described
     below:

         American Century:  Twentieth Century Ultra Fund

         This mutual fund generally targets companies with accelerating earnings
         and revenues that have above-average prospects for appreciation. It is
         expected to be rather volatile but intends to stay fully invested in
         its holdings regardless of the movement of stock prices.

         AIM Constellation Fund

         This mutual fund consists of stocks of firms that have had significant
         growth over a ten-year period or companies that report significantly
         higher earnings than those anticipated by Wall Street.

         Maxim Growth Index Portfolio

         This mutual fund seeks investment results that correspond with the
         performance of large-cap, growth-oriented stocks by investing in stocks
         that comprise the Russell 1000 Growth Index. The Russell 1000 Growth
         Index consists of larger U.S. companies by market capitalization.

         Maxim Small-Cap Aggressive Growth Portfolio

         In this mutual fund, at least 65% of assets are invested in companies
         with market capitalization of less than $500 million. Up to 35% may be
         in larger companies, and a limited amount may be in foreign securities
         with an emphasis on undervalued securities.

         Orchard Index 600 Fund (Formerly Maxim Small-Cap Index Portfolio)

         This mutual fund seeks investment results that correspond with the
         performance of small capitalization stocks by investing in stocks that
         comprise the Standard & Poor's (the "S&P") 500 Index. It represents the
         performance of stocks in the small-cap sector of the United States.

         Lord Abbett Developing Growth Fund

         This mutual fund focuses on companies with above-average, long-term
         growth rates; strong management; and proven commitment to growth. It
         also focuses on companies with undervalued assets that are sometimes
         overlooked by investors.

         Maxim U.S. Government Mortgage Securities Portfolio

         At least 65% of the mutual fund's holdings are securities related to
         government agency mortgages. These holdings are backed by the full
         faith and credit of the U.S. government or one of its agencies or
         instrumentalities.

         Maxim Investment Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio

         This mutual fund generally invests in debt securities with a credit
         rating of A or better. It invests strictly in investment-grade
         corporate debt securities.

         Maxim Corporate Bond Portfolio

         This mutual fund seeks a high total return through a combination of
         current income and capital appreciation. Normally, the fund invests all
         of its assets in debt securities, although up to 20% of securities may
         be invested in preferred stocks, 10% in foreign securities, and 35% in
         high-yield securities rated below investment grade.

         Putnam Global Governmental Income Fund

         money contributed during each deposit period earns the same guaranteed
         interest rate until the certificate matures. The maturity period is
         three years. Contributions may not be transferred to another fund until
         a certificate matures.

         The stated objectives of these funds are not necessarily indicators of
         actual performance.

    Employer Contributions

    Effective December 1, 1999, the Employer may contribute 100% of the
    participant's contribution not to exceed 3% of his/her eligible compensation
    ("Matching Contributions"). Matching Contributions are invested in company
    stock. However, a participant may elect, at any time after the Matching
    Contributions are allocated to his/her account, to redirect their Matching
    Contribution to any other investment option. The Company's board of
    directors approved a Matching Contribution of $1,607,914 to the Plan for the
    year ended December 31, 1999 (Note 2). The Employer may also elect to make a
    discretionary profit-sharing contribution which is determined on an annual
    basis. The Company's board of directors
<PAGE>

                                      -7-


    may elect to automatically invest the participant's discretionary profit-
    sharing contribution in company stock. If the discretionary profit-sharing
    contributions are invested in common stock, the participant may elect to
    transfer his/her investment in the discretionary profit-sharing contribution
    to the investment election of choice. The Company has not made a
    discretionary contribution to the Plan for the year ended December 31, 1999.
    Prior to this contribution, the Company had not made a discretionary profit-
    sharing contribution to the Plan since the establishment of the Plan.

    Rollovers From Other Plans

    A participant who has received a distribution of his/her interest in a
    qualified retirement plan may elect to deposit all or any portion of the
    eligible amount of such distribution as a rollover to this plan.

    Participant Accounts

    Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions,
    allocations of the employer matching and discretionary profit-sharing
    contributions, and his/her share of the Plan's income. The Plan's income is
    allocated based on the proportion that each participant's account balance
    has to the total of all participants' account balances.

    Vesting

    Participants are immediately vested in the value of their contributions and
    actual earnings thereon.  Employer matching and discretionary profit-sharing
    contributions vest according to the following schedule:

                                                 Vested
                                               Percentage
                                               ----------
               Years of service:
                Less than one                       0%
                One                                37
                Two                                64
                Three                             100

    A participant will become fully vested in employer matching and
    discretionary profit-sharing contributions, regardless of length of service,
    in the event of death, total and permanent disability, or attainment of age
    65.

    Transfers from plans of prior employers are subject to the vesting schedule
    above; except for transfers from Vitel International 401(k) Profit Sharing
    Plan and Swift Global Communications, Inc. 401(k) Plan, which are 100%
    vested.

    Forfeited Accounts

    Any terminated, nonvested accounts are deemed to be forfeitures. The
    Employer will utilize forfeited accounts to reduce future employer
    contributions or administrative expenses. The Plan did not have any
    forfeited accounts during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.

    Distribution of Benefits

    Upon retirement, death, disability, or termination of service, a participant
    or his/her beneficiary may elect to receive a lump-sum distribution or
    monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual installments for a period elected
    by the participant, not to exceed the joint life expectancy of the
    participant and his/her beneficiary. This distribution will be equal to the
    participant's vested account balance and will be made in cash. However, if a
    lump-sum payment is elected and a portion of the participant's vested
    balance is in company stock, the participant may elect to receive payments
    for that portion of his/her vested account in the form of company stock.
<PAGE>

                                      -8-


    Hardship distributions are permitted if certain criteria are met, as defined
    by the Plan.

    Loans to Participants

    Participants may borrow the minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the
    lesser of $50,000 or 50% of his/her vested account balance. The loans are
    secured by the balance of the participant's account and bear interest at a
    fixed rate over the life of the loan. Loans are repayable through payroll
    deductions over periods ranging up to 60 months for a general-purpose loan
    and up to 10 years for the purchase of a principle residence. The interest
    rate is determined by the plan administrator based on prevailing market
    conditions.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Basis of Accounting

    The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on the cash basis of
    accounting. Under the modified cash basis, receivables and accrued expenses
    are not recorded and investments are stated at market value. Participant and
    company contributions as well as refunds of contributions, as a result of
    limitations under the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"), were as follows for the
    years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.

                                                1999             1998
                                                ----             ----
      Participant contributions              $        0        $153,000
      Company contributions                   1,607,914               0
      Refunds of contributions                        0           5,789

    These amounts have not been recorded in the accompanying financial
    statements, which have been prepared on the modified cash basis of
    accounting.

    Valuation of Investments

    Investments in the pooled separate account are stated in the accompanying
    statements of net assets available for plan benefits at their fair values as
    established by the Custodian based on the fair values of the underlying
    assets. Such underlying fair values and the value of the mutual fund are
    based on quoted market prices on national exchanges.

    The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position
    94-4, "Reporting of Investment Contracts Held by Health and Welfare Benefit
    Plans and Defined Contribution Pension Plans," requires fair value reporting
    of investment contracts that are not fully benefit-responsive. The
    Guaranteed Certificate Fund is not fully benefit-responsive and is carried
    at estimated fair value, which approximates contract value.

    Net Appreciation (Depreciation)

    Realized gains and losses on sales of investments and changes in unrealized
    appreciation are recorded in the accompanying statement of changes in net
    assets available for plan benefits as net appreciation in fair value of
    investments.

    Administrative Expenses

    All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the general
    administration of the Plan, with the exception of variable asset charges
    imputed on certain plan assets, are paid by the Company.

3.  INVESTMENTS

    The fair market values of individual assets that represent 5% or more of the
    Plan's net assets as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:

    Net appreciation in fair value of investments by major investment type for
    the year ended December 31, 1999 is as follows:

</TABLE>

4.  NONEXEMPT TRANSACTIONS

    For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company's failure to remit
    participant contributions to the Plan within the 15-business day rule
    constituted a lending of such monies to the Company. As such, these
    transactions represented nonexempt transactions between the Company and the
    Plan as identified in Schedule II. The deemed contributions were paid to the
    Plan on March 2, 1999 for the payroll period ending December 12, 1998. The
    Company is currently in the process of calculating the interest on the
    contributions owed to the Plan.

5.  TAX STATUS

    The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the administrator,
    by a letter dated September 28, 1993, that the standardized regional
    prototype plan on which the Plan has adopted was designed in accordance with
    applicable sections of the IRC as of that date. The administrator and the
    Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is being operated
    in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, the
    plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan was
    qualified and the related trust was tax-exempt as of the financial statement
    dates.

 6. PLAN TERMINATION

    Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
    under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of the
    Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. In the event of
    plan termination, participants will become fully vested in their account
    balances.
