                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE A.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The unaudited financial statements of Racotek, Inc. ("Racotek" or the 
"Company") as of June 30, 1997 and for the periods ended June 30, 1997 and 
1996 reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include 
only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the financial 
position at June 30, 1997 and the results of operations and cash flows for 
the reported periods.  The results of operations for any interim period are 
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other 
interim period or for the full year. The year-end balance sheet data was 
derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all 
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.  These 
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited 
financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 1996, 
which were included in the Company's 1996 Annual Report and incorporated by 
reference in its 1996 Form 10-K.

In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 
128 "Earnings per Share," which the Company will adopt effective for its 1997 
year end reporting.  The Company will be required to report basic net income 
(loss) per share based on weighted average common shares outstanding, without 
considering common equivalent shares, and diluted net income (loss) per share 
based on weighted average common and, when dilutive, common equivalent shares 
outstanding.  Diluted net income (loss) per share would be equivalent to the 
Company's current reporting of net loss per share.

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

     THIS FORM 10-Q CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE RISKS 
AND UNCERTAINTIES. THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM 
THE RESULTS DISCUSSED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.  FACTORS THAT MIGHT 
CAUSE SUCH A DIFFERENCE INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE DISCUSSED 
BELOW IN "FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS" AS WELL AS THOSE IDENTIFIED 
IN THE COMPANY'S OTHER SEC FILINGS.

OVERVIEW
     Racotek provides solutions to customers that allow them to increase the
productivity of their remote workers.  To accomplish this, Racotek provides
consulting services, wireless networking software and network management
support.  The Company expects to incur substantial losses through 1997 and into
1998 because customers are delaying implementation of wireless mobile data
systems.  These delays are the result of several factors including:
     -    Most prospective customers wish to test the Company's products and
          services during an evaluation period before implementing a wireless
          network throughout their user base.  This reduces the amount of
          revenues the Company can expect to receive in the near term.
     -    Wireless networks such as cellular digital packet data and low-earth
          orbit satellites have limited commercial availability and geographic
          coverage.
     -    Implementation of a wireless network requires a significant capital
          investment for mobile computing devices.
     
     The Company believes that the commercial availability and coverage of
wireless networks are increasing and that capital costs are beginning to
decline. The Company also believes that its extensive experience in designing,
implementing and supporting wireless networks will enable the Company to
continue to add new customers.  The Company has an increasing percentage of net
revenues derived from consulting services including system planning, software
development, system integration, training and installation management.  The
Company expects that customers who purchase consulting services may become
purchasers of its other products and services.  In the long-term, the Company
believes that the recurring revenue from providing monthly support, software
maintenance and transmission services to customers will constitute a substantial
source of revenue.
      
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     NET REVENUES
     During 1996, the Company made the decision to discontinue the production,
purchase and distribution of specialized mobile radio ("SMR") products.  As a
result, product revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $561,000,
down from $692,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  Product revenues
increased from $330,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, to $372,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 1997.  The increase was primarily due to a single
hardware transaction with one customer during the quarter ended June 30, 1997. 
Product revenues will continue to fluctuate based on product mix and the timing
and extent of customer roll-outs.



                                     7


<PAGE>

     Service revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 were $1,070,000, down
from $1,380,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.  Services revenues for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 were $2,620,000, up from $2,565,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996.  The Company derives a substantial amount of its
revenue from a small number of customers.  Accordingly, the timing and amount of
consulting services work performed for these customers may cause the Company's
services revenues to fluctuate.  The decrease in volume caused the decrease in
service revenues for the second quarter of 1997. The Company expects continued
volatility in services revenue throughout the remainder of 1997.

     COST OF REVENUES
     Cost of product revenues decreased from $1,507,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1996, to $611,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  The decrease
is primarily due to a $900,000 charge recorded in the first quarter of 1996,
resulting from the write-down of the Company's remaining SMR inventories to
their net realizable values as a result of the decision to discontinue the SMR
products described above.  Cost of product revenues for the quarter ended June
30, 1997, were $432,000, up from $223,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. 
Product gross margins were negative 16% for the second quarter of 1997 compared
to 32% for the second quarter of 1996.  The decrease in product gross margins is
due to product mix and insufficient revenue volume to absorb the Company's fixed
costs.  
      Cost of services increased from $882,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
1996, to $1,147,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.  Cost of services
increased from $1,843,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, to $2,227,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  The increases in the cost of services
are due to an increase in the number of consulting and customer support
personnel.  Service gross margins decreased from 36% for the quarter ended June
30, 1996 to negative 7% for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.  Service gross
margins decreased from 28% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to 15% for the
corresponding six month period in 1997.  The decrease in the gross margin rate
was due to under-utilized consulting personnel as a result of the lower services
revenue in the second quarter of 1997 compared to the same period in 1996.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
     Research and development expenses decreased from $1,010,000 for the quarter
ended June 30, 1996, to $964,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.  These
expenses also decreased from $2,048,000 for the six month period ended June 30,
1996, to $1,989,000 for the corresponding six month period in 1997.  The Company
expects research and development expenses to remain essentially constant from
the second to the third quarter of 1997 and to decrease in the fourth quarter.

     SALES AND MARKETING
     Sales and marketing expenses decreased from $1,638,000 for the quarter
ended June 30, 1996, to $1,145,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.  These
expenses also decreased from $3,542,000 for the six month period ended June 30,
1996, to $2,674,000 for the corresponding six month period in 1997.  The
decrease was due to cost-reduction measures implemented by the Company during
1997.  The Company expects sales and marketing expenses to remain essentially
constant from the second to the third quarter of 1997 and to decrease in the
fourth quarter due to these cost-reduction measures.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
     General and administrative expenses decreased from $454,000 for the 
quarter ended June 30, 1996, to $423,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. 
These expenses also decreased from $1,179,000 for the six month period ended 
June 30, 1996, to $901,000 for the corresponding six month period in 1997.  
The decrease was due to cost-reduction measures implemented by the Company 
throughout 1996 and 1997.  The Company expects general and administrative 
expenses to remain essentially constant from the second to the third quarter 
of 1997 and to decrease in the fourth quarter due to these cost-reduction 
measures.

     INTEREST INCOME
     Interest income decreased from $261,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 
1996, to $107,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.  Interest income 
decreased from $434,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 1996, to 
$234,000 for the corresponding six month period in 1997.  The decrease is the 
result of a decrease in investments, which were used to fund operating 
activities during 1997.  The decrease is also related to declining interest 
rates on these investments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 1997, the Company had no significant capital spending or purchase
commitments and had cash and investments totaling $8,347,000 and working capital
of $8,362,000.  For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company used
$3,714,000 of cash in its operating activities, compared to $5,122,000 of cash
for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The amount of cash used in operating
activities decreased as a result of cost-reduction efforts, including the
decision to discontinue producing, purchasing and distributing SMR products
during 1996, and improved collections of accounts receivable.  During the third
quarter of 1997, the Company expects to reduce headcount and consolidate
facilities to further reduce expenses by the fourth quarter of 1997; however,
the Company expects to continue to incur negative cash flows from operating
activities throughout 1997 and into 1998.  Net cash of $4,873,000 provided by
investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 1997, resulted
primarily from investments that matured during the period, net of investment
purchases.  The Company generated $230,000 of cash from financing activities for
the six months ended June 30, 1997, from the exercise of stock options.
     The Company believes that with the implementation of the cost-reduction 
measures, its existing capital resources will be sufficient to meet the 
Company's cash requirements into 1998.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
     There can be no assurance that the Company's business will grow as 
anticipated or that the Company will achieve or sustain profitability on a 
quarterly or annual basis in the future.  The Company derives a substantial 
part of its revenue from a small number of customers whom, after evaluating 
the Company's products, proceed to install the Company's products throughout 
their total user base.  A decision by any one of these customers to delay or 
abandon roll-out of the Company's products across an entire fleet may have a 
material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations.

     A substantial portion of the Company's revenue is derived from providing
consulting services to mobile data users.  Consulting services cannot be
standardized and mass-marketed as readily as software, and they may not provide
as consistent a source of recurring revenue as monthly support, software
maintenance and transmission services are expected to provide.  In order for the
Company's revenues from consulting services to continue to grow, the Company
must continue to add more customers and larger projects to build, enable and
support data mobility systems.  The Company's inability to identify customers
for its large-scale consulting services and/or the Company's inability to use
its consulting services to obtain additional customers for its software 
licenses, support and transmission services could materially and adversely
affect the growth of its business.
     Delays in the commercial availability and geographic coverage of new
wireless networks may continue to impede or prevent substantial growth of the
Company's business.  There can be no assurance that the services offered by new
wireless networks will attain commercial availability, that they will be
available in a significant number of metropolitan areas or that they will
provide a scope of geographic coverage attractive to customers in the
metropolitan areas where they are available.  The Company's inability to offer
products and services to customers on new wireless networks could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business.
     The Company's ability to provide communication services is dependent upon
contractual relationships with wireless network providers.  There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to enter into or maintain relationships
with wireless network providers, that any such relationships will be on
economically favorable terms or that wireless network providers may not choose
to compete against rather than cooperate with the Company.  Furthermore, there
can be no assurance that wireless network providers will have the capacity,
ability and FCC authorization to provide high-quality airtime to the Company's
customers on a continuous basis.  The Company's inability to obtain high-
quality, reliable, continuous airtime from or maintain cooperative relationships
with wireless network providers would materially and adversely affect the
Company's business.
     The Company's success is affected by application software developers who
help create a market for the Company's products by writing their application
software programs so that the programs implement mobile data transmission
through KeyWare.  There can be no assurance that the application software
developers will choose to make their computer programs compatible with KeyWare. 
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the application software developers
who implement mobile data transmission through KeyWare will be successful in
developing and marketing their Racotek-compatible products or will continue to
use the Company's products in their business.  In addition, delays by these
developers in completing their wireless application software integration is
impeding the Company's efforts to persuade existing and prospective customers to
implement the products across their total user base.  Continuing delays in
wireless application software integration could have a material adverse impact
on the Company's business.
     The Company depends on third-party hardware manufacturers to develop and
maintain computer hardware devices that are suitable for mobile data
applications, such as handheld and vehicle-mounted devices, and to make these
devices available to customers at attractive prices.  The prices for these
hardware devices have declined and are expected to continue to decline.  The
Company's ability to sell its products is affected by the price of these
hardware devices.  Unless dependable, fully-featured KeyWare-compatible mobile
devices are available at attractive prices, customers will be reluctant to
implement mobile data systems and become Racotek customers, which would
materially and adversely affect the Company's business.

     Competition in the communication industry is intense.  Major software
development companies, as well as computer, database and communications
companies, are possible sources of future direct competition for the Company's
products and services.  Many of the Company's current and possible direct
competitors have financial, technical, marketing, sales, manufacturing,
distribution and other resources substantially greater than those of the
Company.  In addition to direct competitors, the Company presently faces
competition from providers of other mobile communication services that customers
might view as substitutes for wireless data transmission, such as cellular
telephone, paging and conventional two-way voice radio.
     In addition to the factors listed above, actual results could vary
materially from the foregoing forward-looking statements due to the Company's
inability to hire and retain qualified personnel, the risk that the Company may
need to enhance products beyond what was initially planned, the levels of
promotion and marketing required to promote the Company's products and services
so as to attain a competitive position in the marketplace, or other risks and
uncertainties identified in this Form 10-Q and the Company's other filings with
the SEC.
