                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1999
                                  (UNAUDITED)
1.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements as of March 31, 1999 and 1998 and for the
three months then ended have been prepared from the books and records of
SpectraLink Corporation, Inc. (the "Company") and are unaudited. In management's
opinion, these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation. Interim results
are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998 presented
in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
accounting policies utilized in the preparation of the financial statements
herein presented are the same as set forth in the Company's annual financial
statements.

New Accounting Pronouncement

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments and hedging activity. SFAS No. 133 is
effective for all periods in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. SFAS
No. 133 requires recognition of all derivative instruments on the balance sheet
as either assets or liabilities and measurement at fair value. Changes in the
derivative's fair value will be recognized currently in earnings unless specific
hedge accounting criteria are met. Gains and losses on derivative hedging
instruments must be recorded in either other comprehensive income or current
earnings, depending on the nature of the instrument. The Company is currently
assessing the effect of adopting SFAS No. 133 on its financial statements and
plans to adopt the statement on January 1, 2000.

2.  Inventories

Inventories include the cost of raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing
overhead, and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.
Inventories at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 consisted of the following:

3.  Earnings Per Share

The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), "Earnings Per Share," which requires entities to
present both Basic Earnings Per Share ("EPS") and Diluted EPS. Basic EPS
excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared
in the earnings of the entity. Potential dilution of securities exercisable into
common stock was computed using the treasury stock method based on the average
fair market value of the stock.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                            SPECTRALINK CORPORATION

This Form 10-Q contains forward looking statements within the context of section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Each and every forward
looking statement involves a number of risks and uncertainties including those
risk factors specifically delineated and described in part 2 item 6 of the
Company's 1998 Form 10-KSB, filed March 25, 1999 ("1998 Form 10-KSB"). The
actual results that the Company achieves may differ materially from any forward
looking statements due to such risks and uncertainties. The Company has
identified by * bold face * various sentences within this Form 10-Q which
contain forward looking statements. Additionally words such as "believes",
"anticipates", "expects", "intends", and similar expressions are intended to
identify forward looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of
identifying such statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise any
forward looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances that may
arise after the date of this report.

READINESS FOR THE YEAR 2000

Many existing computer systems, applications software, and other control
devices, rely on only two digits to identify the year, without considering the
impact of the upcoming change in the century. As a result, such systems and
applications could fail or create erroneous results unless corrected so that
they can process data related to the Year 2000 and beyond. The Company relies
on information technology systems, applications and devices in operating and
monitoring all major aspects of its business, including financial systems (such
as general ledger, payroll and accounts payable modules), customer service,
manufacturing, infrastructure, embedded computer chips, networks,
telecommunications equipment and end products. The Company also relies,
directly or indirectly, on the external systems, software and devices of
business enterprises such as customers, suppliers, utilities, creditors,
financial organizations, consultants, and governmental entities, both domestic
and international, for accurate exchange of data. *THE COMPANY BELIEVES THAT IT
IS TAKING REASONABLE STEPS TO CATALOG AND ADDRESS THOSE MATTERS IN BOTH ITS
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS AND IN OTHER EQUIPMENT WITH EMBEDDED
MICROPROCESSORS THAT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS BREACH IN ITS BUSINESS AND
OPERATIONS DUE TO YEAR 2000 ISSUES. SPECIFICALLY, WITH RESPECT TO ITS
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS, THE COMPANY HAS ASSESSED EACH ITEM OF SOFTWARE
AND HAS COMPLETED 80% OF THE REMEDIATION NECESSARY FOR SUCH INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS TO BE YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT. WITH RESPECT TO NON-INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS (SUCH AS THE COMPANY'S TELEPHONE SYSTEMS AND SECURITY
SYSTEM), THE COMPANY HAS ASSESSED EACH ITEM OF SOFTWARE AND HAS COMPLETED 50%
OF THE REMEDIATION NECESSARY FOR SUCH NON-INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS TO BE
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT. ALL TESTING IS EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED BY JUNE 30, 1999.
AT THIS POINT, THE COMPANY BELIEVES THAT ALL OF ITS MISSION-CRITICAL
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND NON-INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS WILL BE YEAR 2000
COMPLIANT ON TIME. HOWEVER, DELAYS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF REMEDIATION
PROGRAMS FOR NON-COMPLIANT SYSTEMS OR A FAILURE BY THE COMPANY TO FULLY
IDENTIFY ALL YEAR 2000 DEPENDENCIES IN THE COMPANY'S SYSTEMS COULD HAVE A
MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.*

The Company is also communicating with its major customers (including its
distributors), suppliers and financial institutions to assess the potential
impact on the Company's operations of such third parties failure to become Year
2000 compliant. This process has not been completed; based upon responses to
date, it appears that many of the Company's customers and suppliers have
indicated only that they have in place Year 2000 readiness programs, without
specifically representing that they will be Year 2000 compliant in a timely
manner. A failure by any of the Company's major customers or suppliers to be
Year 2000 compliant, or a failure by the Company to fully identify its
dependencies on the information technology systems of certain suppliers or
customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations. *FOR EXAMPLE, THE COMPANY WOULD
EXPERIENCE A MATERIAL ADVERSE IMPACT ON ITS BUSINESS IF SIGNIFICANT SUPPLIERS
OF ELECTRICAL COMPONENT PARTS, SEMI-CONDUCTORS, PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS, OTHER
RAW MATERIALS OR TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS FAIL TO PROVIDE THE COMPANY IN A
TIMELY MANNER WITH NECESSARY INVENTORIES OR SERVICES DUE TO YEAR 2000 SYSTEMS
FAILURES. LIKEWISE, IF THE COMPANY'S CUSTOMERS ARE UNABLE TO PROCESS PURCHASE
ORDERS, PAYMENT CHECKS, OR OTHER MISSION CRITICAL PAPERWORK DUE TO YEAR 2000
PROBLEMS, SPECTRALINK'S BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COULD BE MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECTED.* The Company's Year 2000 program
includes developing contingency plans to protect its business and operations
from Year 2000-related interruptions from third party non-compliance. *THE
COMPANY EXPECTS TO COMPLETE ITS RISK ASSESSMENT AND CONTINGENCY PLAN 


<PAGE>   9
BY JUNE 30, 1999. THE PLANS ARE EXPECTED TO INCLUDE BACK-UP PROCEDURES,
IDENTIFICATION OF ALTERNATE SUPPLIERS (WHERE POSSIBLE), AND INCREASES IN BACK-UP
INVENTORY LEVELS.* 

*BASED UPON ITS CURRENT ASSESSMENT OF ITS OWN INFORMATION AND
NON-INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS, THE COMPANY DOES NOT BELIEVE IT NECESSARY TO
DEVELOP AN EXTENSIVE CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR THOSE SYSTEMS. THERE CAN BE NO
ASSURANCES, HOWEVER, THAT ANY OF THE COMPANY'S CONTINGENCY PLANS WILL BE
SUFFICIENT TO HANDLE ALL PROBLEMS OR ISSUES WHICH MAY ARISE. THE COSTS INCURRED
TO DATE RELATED TO ITS YEAR 2000 ACTIVITIES HAVE NOT BEEN MATERIAL TO THE
COMPANY, AND, BASED UPON CURRENT ESTIMATES, THE COMPANY DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT
THE TOTAL COST OF PREPARING FOR YEAR 2000 PROGRAMS WILL HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE
IMPACT ON THE COMPANY'S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OR FINANCIAL CONDITION. THE
STATEMENTS SET FORTH HEREIN CONCERNING YEAR 2000 ISSUES WHICH ARE NOT HISTORICAL
FACTS, ARE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT
COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE IN THE
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. IN PARTICULAR, THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
COMPANY'S YEAR 2000 PROGRAMS AND THE TIME-FRAME IN WHICH THE COMPANY PLANS TO
COMPLETE YEAR 2000 MODIFICATIONS ARE BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S BEST ESTIMATES.
THESE ESTIMATES WERE DEVELOPED FROM INTERNAL ASSESSMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS OF
FUTURE EVENTS. THESE ESTIMATES MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY THE SCARCITY OF
PERSONNEL AND SYSTEM RESOURCES, AND BY THE FAILURE OF SIGNIFICANT THIRD PARTIES
TO PROPERLY ADDRESS YEAR 2000 ISSUES. THEREFORE, THERE CAN BE NO GUARANTEE THAT
ANY ESTIMATES, OR OTHER FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WILL BE ACHIEVED, AND ACTUAL
RESULTS COULD DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THOSE CONTEMPLATED.*

                            SPECTRALINK CORPORATION
                   THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 AND 1998

Net Sales. The Company derives its revenue principally from the sale,
installation and service of wireless, on-premises telephone systems. Net sales
for the three months ended March 31, 1999 increased by 28% to $9,091,000 from
$7,117,000 for the comparable three months in 1998. The increase sales was
mainly due to (i) increased sales from dealers and distributors, (ii) increased
service revenue from maintenance contracts, and (iii) increased penetration of
the retail markets.

The following table summarizes sales to major customers:

                    ------------------------------ ---------------------- ---------------------
</TABLE>

(x) Sales to this customer in this period were less than 10% of net sales.

No other customers accounted for 10% or more of sales in any of these periods.


Gross Profit. For the three months ended March 31, 1999 gross profit increased
by 25% from the same period last year. For the three months ended March 31,
1999 gross profit margin (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) decreased
to 60.0% from 61.4% in the same period last year. The increase in gross profit
was primarily due to the increased revenue. The decrease in gross profit margin
as a percentage of sales was mainly due to (i) increased material cost, (ii)
lower average unit pricing that is associated with volume orders, and (iii)
higher warranty costs associated with a greater installed base.

Research and Development. For the three months ended March 31, 1999 research and
development increased by 24% from the same period last year, representing 11.7%
and 12.1%, respectively, of net sales. *THE COMPANY EXPECTS TO INCREASE ITS
CURRENT LEVEL OF SPENDING ON RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.* Research and development
efforts for both years were concentrated on new product development,
improvements to existing products, and manufacturing process improvements.

                   THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 AND 1998


Marketing and Selling. For the three months ended March 31, 1999 sales and
marketing expenses increased by 7% from the same period last year, representing
37.4% and 44.5%, respectively, of net sales. The increase in dollars spent was
primarily the result of adding sales and marketing personnel to increase sales
and market penetration. The decrease in marketing and sales costs as a
percentage of sales was the result of economies of scale resulting from
increased sales and the increased sales effort in utilizing our reseller
channels.

General and Administrative. For the three months ended March 31, 1999 general
and administrative expenses decreased by 3% from the same period last year,
representing 6.4% and 8.4%, respectively, of net sales. The decrease in
spending was associated with a decrease in other state taxes. The decrease in
percent of sales was the result of economies of scale resulting from increased
sales.

Investment Income and Other (Net). Investment income is the result of the
Company's investments in money market, investment-grade debt securities, and
government securities. Other income is generated primarily from purchase
discounts. For the three months ended March 31, 1999 investment income and
other decreased by 16% to $327,000 from $388,000 for the same period last year,
representing 3.6% and 5.5%, respectively, of net sales. The decrease in
investment income and other was primarily due to less funds available for
investment due to the Company's stock repurchases.

Income Tax. The Company has available tax loss carryforwards to offset
estimated 1999 taxable income. The Company's tax provision in 1999 consists of
an accrual for state alternative minimum taxes.

Net Income. Basic net income per share for the three months ended March 31,
1999 was $0.04 and $0.01 for the same period last year. Net income in 1999
increased over 1998 due to higher sales and a reduction in operating losses as
a percentage of net sales.

*EXPANSION RISK. THE COMPANY'S OPERATING EXPENSES ARE BASED IN PART ON ITS
EXPECTATIONS OF FUTURE SALES, AND THE COMPANY'S EXPENSE LEVELS ARE GENERALLY
DETERMINED IN ADVANCE OF SALES. THE COMPANY CURRENTLY PLANS TO CONTINUE TO
EXPAND AND INCREASE ITS OPERATING EXPENSES IN AN EFFORT TO GENERATE AND SUPPORT
ADDITIONAL FUTURE REVENUE. IF SALES DO NOT MATERIALIZE IN A QUARTER AS
EXPECTED, THE COMPANY'S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THAT QUARTER WOULD BE
ADVERSELY AFFECTED. NET INCOME MAY BE DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED BY A
REDUCTION OF REVENUES BECAUSE ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF THE COMPANY'S EXPENSES
VARY WITH ITS REVENUE.*

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first three months of 1999 the Company generated $605,000 of cash
from operating activities, generated $27,000 in proceeds from the sales of
common stock and expended $666,000 to repurchase outstanding shares of common
stock and $132,000 for capital equipment. Together these activities resulted in
a net decrease in cash, short term investments and government securities of
$166,000 to a quarter ending $24,749,000. The Company's working capital
decreased to $32,972,000 from $33,794,000 as of December 31, 1998.

*THE COMPANY BELIEVES THAT ITS CURRENT CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INVESTMENTS
(INCLUDING INVESTMENTS IN GOVERNMENT SECURITIES WITH MATURITIES GREATER THAN
ONE YEAR AND THEREFORE CLASSIFIED AS LONG TERM ASSETS), AND CASH GENERATED FROM
OPERATIONS WILL BE SUFFICIENT, BASED ON THE COMPANY'S PRESENTLY ANTICIPATED
NEEDS, TO FUND NECESSARY CAPITAL EXPENDITURES, TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE WORKING
CAPITAL AND TO FINANCE THE COMPANY'S EXPANSION THROUGH THE END OF THE FISCAL
YEAR 1999.*
