              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

         In the opinion of management,  the unaudited consolidated balance sheet
         at September  30, 1998,  and the unaudited  consolidated  statements of
         income  and  unaudited  consolidated  statements  of cash flows for the
         interim  periods  ended  September  30,  1998  and  1997,  include  all
         adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
         for a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented.

         In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
         certain  information  and  footnote  disclosures  normally  included in
         financial  statements  prepared in accordance  with generally  accepted
         accounting  principles  have been  condensed  or omitted.  The year-end
         balance sheet data was derived from audited financial  statements,  but
         does not include disclosures  required by generally accepted accounting
         principles.   It  is  suggested  that  these   statements  be  read  in
         conjunction  with the Company's  most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K
         for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997.

         Certain  prior year  amounts have been  reclassified  to conform to the
         1998 presentation.

2.       Accounting Pronouncements

         In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
         of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131,  "Disclosures about
         Segments of an Enterprise and Related  Information," which is effective
         for the Company for the year ending  December 31, 1998.  This statement
         establishes  standards  for the way that  public  business  enterprises
         report   information  about  operating  segments  in  annual  financial
         statements  and  requires  that  these   enterprises   report  selected
         information  about  operating  segments  in interim  financial  reports
         issued  to  shareholders.  As  this  statement  only  requires  certain
         disclosure,  its adoption will not have any impact on the  consolidated
         financial position, consolidated results of operations or cash flows of
         the Company.

3.       Divestment

         On February 17, 1998,  the Company  completed the sale of the principal
         assets and  operations  of Spectron  Microsystems  Inc., a wholly owned
         subsidiary,  to Texas Instruments for $26.0 million.  The sale resulted
         in an  after  tax  gain of  $14.0  million.  The  sale  will not have a
         significant  effect on the sales or  earnings  of the Company in future
         periods.

4.       Available for Sale Securities

         The following is a summary of the  available for sale  securities as of
         September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 ($000's):

</TABLE>

The Company owns  1,399,715  shares of capital stock in Voice  Control  Systems,
Inc.  ("VCS").  The shares are  classified  as available for sale under SFAS No.
115,  "Accounting for Certain  Investments in Debt and Equity  Securities".  The
fair value of the Company's  investment in VCS has been  determined by reference
to the market price for VCS stock as quoted on publicly traded  exchanges on the
representative  valuation  dates. The price per share of VCS stock had decreased
to $1.69 at September 30, 1998, as compared to $2.69 at December 31, 1997.

Unrealized  gains/losses  are  reported  net of tax in the equity  section (as a
component of accumulated  other  comprehensive  income) of the Company's balance
sheet in accordance with SFAS No. 115.

5.  Asset Impairment

During the first quarter of 1998,  the Company  undertook a strategic  review of
its business lines and product offerings.  At the conclusion of this review, the
Company determined it would no longer allocate resources to its Dianatel product
line. Activities to sell and upgrade Dianatel products were ceased and employees
working on Dianatel related products were diverted to other  activities.  As the
result of this decision, management has concluded that the carrying value of the
goodwill  that  arose on the  purchase  of  Dianatel  Corporation  was no longer
justifiable, and the Company recorded a non-cash impairment loss of $3.5 million
related to the write-down of goodwill.

During  the  first  quarter  of 1998,  the  Company  upgraded  certain  internal
information  technology  systems.  Accordingly,  the Company took a $1.3 million
after-tax  charge to  reduce  the  carrying  value of the  internal  information
technology assets that will no longer be supported.

Management believes the recognition of these impairments were in accordance with
the  provisions of SFAS No. 121,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of."

6.  Changes in Accounting Principles

Effective  January  1,  1998,  the  Company  adopted  SFAS No.  130,  "Reporting
Comprehensive  Income." This statement  requires that all items recognized under
accounting  standards as components of comprehensive  earnings be reported in an
annual  financial  statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other
annual  financial  statements.  This  statement  also  requires  that an  entity
classify  items of other  comprehensive  earnings  by their  nature in an annual
financial  statement.  For the Company,  other  comprehensive  earnings  include
foreign  currency  translation  adjustments  and unrealized  gains and losses on
marketable  securities  classified  as   available-for-sale.   Annual  financial
statements for prior periods will be  reclassified,  as required.  The Company's
total  comprehensive  earnings  for the  three  months  and  nine  months  ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997, were as follows:

7. Earnings per share

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128,  "Earnings per share" in the
year ended  December 31, 1997.  SFAS No. 128 requires the dual  presentation  of
basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS"). Basic EPS excludes dilution and is
computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects
the potential  dilution that could occur if stock options or other  contracts to
issue common stock were  exercised  and resulted in the issuance of common stock
that then shared in the earnings of the Company.  Diluted EPS is computed  using
the treasury stock method when the effect of common stock  equivalents  would be
dilutive.  EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, have been
restated to comply with the  provisions  of SFAS No. 128.  The only  reconciling
item between the  denominator  used to calculate  basic EPS and the  denominator
used to calculate  diluted EPS is the  dilutive  effect of stock optio ns issued
pursuant to the Company's Incentive Stock Compensation Plans.

Item 2.

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

A.   General

The following  discussion and analysis  should be read in  conjunction  with the
Consolidated  Financial Statements,  the related Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1997 and the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
and related Notes to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  included in Item 1 of
Part  1 of  this  Quarterly  Report  on  Form  10-Q.  This  Form  10-Q  contains
forward-looking  statements  made pursuant to the safe harbor  provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("Forward-Looking Statements"),
which involve risks and  uncertainties.  The Company's actual results may differ
significantly  from the results  discussed  in the  forward-looking  statements.
Factors that might cause such a  difference  include  product  demand and market
acceptance  risks, the effect of worldwide  economic  conditions,  the impact of
compet itive products and pricing,  the Company's  ability to enter new markets,
the adoption of new standards and the Company's ability to meet those standards,
product  development,  effects of competitive forces and pace of deregulation in
the  telecommunications  industry,  the status of intellectual  property rights,
commercialization   and   technological   difficulties,   capacity   and  supply
constraints or difficulties, the impact of acquisitions or mergers on customers,
competitors or suppliers,  consolidation of capital resources,  general business
conditions,  the effect of the Company's  accounting  policies,  and other risks
detailed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1997. Such factors may also cause substantial volatility in the market price
of the Company's common stock.

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting   principles  requires  management  to  make  certain  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amount  of costs and  liabilities  and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported
period.  Significant  estimates in the Company's  financial  statements  include
allowances for accounts receivable, product returns and net realizable values of
inventories. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Results of Operations

Consolidated  revenues for the three months and the nine months ended  September
30, 1998,  increased 10.7% and 14.1%,  respectively,  from the comparable  prior
year  periods.  Consolidated  revenues  were $76.1  million for the three months
ended  September  30,  1998.  Year-to-date  consolidated  revenues  were  $215.6
million.  North America's  revenue  represented $45.4 million and $133.3 million
for the three and nine months ended  September 30, 1998,  respectively.  Despite
global economic  issues,  international  revenues  increased 25.7% for the three
months ended  September 30, 1998, and 20.1% for the nine months ended  September
30,  1998.  Revenue in Europe  increased  approximately  47.1% and 47.4% for the
three and nine month  periods ended  September 30, 1998.  During the nine months
ended September 30, 1998, the Company continued to release commercial production
of its new products based on DM3 architecture. DM3 products are now available in
PCI, cPCI, and VME  configurations  utilizing  industry standards such as H.323,
G.723 .1, G.711, GSM and T.38.

Gross profit for the three months and nine months ended  September 30, 1998, was
62.0% and 62.7% of revenues, respectively, compared to 62.4% for each respective
prior year period.  Gross profit for the three months ended  September 30, 1998,
as compared to the three months ended  September  30, 1997,  experienced  slight
erosion related to product mix.

Research and development  expenses as a percentage of revenues represented 22.4%
for the three months  ended  September  30, 1998,  and 21.7% for the nine months
ended  September  30,  1998,  as compared to 19.7% and 20.3% for the  comparable
periods  in  1997.  The  Company  continues  to  maintain  a high  level  of R&D
investment  to meet the needs of its  customers  and to obtain new design  wins.
Dialogic  continues to invest  engineering  resources in the  development of the
Dialogic DM3 Mediastream Resource Architecture ("DM3") as well as development of
IP telephony and open switch  products.  The Company believes that investment in
research and development is critical to future growth and anticipates  investing
at current  levels  throughout  the remainder of 1998 in an effort to enable the
Company to  maintain  its  technological  leadership  in the  marketplace.  This
estimate  regarding  future  research and development as a percentage of revenue
represents a Forward-Looking  Statement;  actual results could differ materially
from the Com pany's  expectations as a result of a variety of factors  including
variations  in  revenue,   product  market  and  competitive   conditions,   the
availability of required resources and the Company's technological needs.

Selling,  general and administrative  expenses  represented $20.0 million in the
third quarter and $59.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, as
compared  to $19.9  million  and $58.3  million  in the  comparable  prior  year
periods. As a percentage of total revenues,  selling, general and administrative
expenses  decreased to 26.3% in the three months ended  September 30, 1998,  and
27.4% in the nine months ended  September 30, 1998,  compared to 28.9% and 30.9%
in the  comparable  prior year periods,  reflecting a leverage of these expenses
over a larger revenue base. Selling,  general,  and administrative  expenses for
the nine months ended  September 30, 1998,  have remained  relatively  stable as
compared to prior periods.

Net interest  income for the three months and nine months  ended  September  30,
1998,  increased to $818  thousand and $2.3 million from $444  thousand and $1.2
million in the comparable prior year periods.  The increase  primarily  reflects
the earnings on the increase in the Company's  short-term  investment  portfolio
due in part to the  proceeds  from the sale of a  subsidiary  during  the  first
quarter of 1998.

The Company's  effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30,
1998,  was 40.4% as compared to 36.0% for the nine months  ended  September  30,
1997. The increase is attributable  to the write-down of the non-tax  deductible
goodwill of Dianatel  Corporation  in the first quarter of 1998 in the amount of
$3.5 million,  as well as the higher effective tax rate on the gain on sale of a
subsidiary.

Net income for the three and nine months  periods ended  September 30, 1998, was
$7.0 million and $29.6 million,  respectively, or $0.43 and $1.78 per share on a
diluted basis, compared to $6.4 million and $14.4 million or $0.38 and $0.87 per
diluted share for the comparable  periods ended September 30, 1997.  Results for
the current year include an after-tax gain of $14.0 million or $0.84 per diluted
share on the first quarter asset sale of a subsidiary and non-recurring  charges
of $4.8  million  after-tax  or $0.29 per diluted  share for the  write-down  of
certain assets.  Management believes that this additional  information regarding
earnings  is  useful  and  meaningful  to  an  understanding  of  the  operating
performance of the Company.  However,  this information should not be considered
by the reader as an  alternative  to net income as an indicator of the Company's
operation  or  performance,  or to cash  flows  as an  indicator  of  liquidity.
Weighted  average  diluted  shares   outstanding   represented   16,361,019  and
16,606,323 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively,
as compared to 16,623,172 and 16,498,685 for the respective  prior year period.

C.   Financial Condition

As of September 30, 1998, and December 31, 1997, the Company had working capital
of $145.1  million and $119.9 million  respectively,  and a current ratio (i.e.,
the ratio of current  assets to current  liabilities)  of 4.6 to 1 and 4.7 to 1,
respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, Dialogic's cash and
cash equivalents  increased by $28.4 million.  Cash inflows from proceeds of the
sale of the assets of  Spectron  Microsystems  were $26.0  million for the first
quarter of 1998. Cash outflows of approximately  $10.8 million were expended for
the purchase of fixed assets  related to the  continued  growth of the Company's
operations.  Net cash flows from operating  activities were $17.6 million.  Cash
outflows for the  repurchase of treasury  stock of $7.0  million,  was partially
offset by the proceeds  from the  exercise of stock  options and the issuance of
shares of common stock. The Company believes that its current liquidity, coupled
with cash  generated  from  operations  and credit  available  under its credi t
lines, will be sufficient to meet its liquidity and capital  requirements for at
least the next twelve  months.  This  statement  constitutes  a  Forward-Looking
Statement.  The  actual  sufficiency  of such  capital  resources  could  differ
materially  from the Company's  expectations,  depending among other things upon
the extent to which unanticipated  capital requirements may arise and the extent
to which  unanticipated  events  may have a  materially  adverse  effect  on the
Company's profitability.

D.  Year 2000

The Year 2000  issue is  primarily  the  result  of  computer  programs  using a
two-digit format, as opposed to four digits, to difine the applicable year. Some
computer  systems  will be unable to correctly  interpret  dates beyond the year
1999, which could cause a system failure or other computer errors,  leading to a
disruption  in the  operation  of such  systems.  The Company has  undertaken  a
company-wide  study and testing  program to locate and cure any Year 2000 issues
in the  products or systems on which it relies and in the products it offers for
sale or license.  The Company believes its internal systems,  including both its
financial  operating   information   technology  systems,   and  non-information
technology systems are Year 2000 compliant.  The Company's  financial  operating
systems have been upgraded to a Year 2000  compliant  release within the context
of its  normal  operating  environment.  Such  upgrade  was not  accelerated  in
anticipation of Year 2000 issues. No material  additional costs were incurred in
upgrading the Company's internal systems.  This phase of the Company's Year 2000
study is  completed.  The Company  anticipates  working  jointly with  strategic
vendors and  business  partners to identify any Year 2000 issues that may impact
the Company.  The Company anticipates that evaluation and corrective actions, if
any,  will be on-going  through the  remainder of 1998 and through 1999. To date
the Company has not  identified  any such problems  which it believes  cannot be
corrected  without  material  impact on the  Company.  However,  there can be no
assurance  that the companies  with which the Company does business will achieve
Year 2000  compliance  in a timely  fashion,  or that such  failure to comply by
another company will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company has and will incur  internal  staff costs  related to this aspect of
its initiative.  These costs are not considered to have a material impact on the
Company's  operating results and have not been quantified.  

The Company  believes the  products it currently  offers for sale or license are
all Year 2000 compliant.

Based on the  assessment  effort to date,  the Company does not believe that the
Year 2000 issue will have a material adverse effect on its financial  condition,
results  of   operations,   or  cash  flows.   This   statement   constitutes  a
Forward-Leading  Statement.  Actual  results  could differ  materially  from the
Company's beliefs and expectations,  however,  are based on certain  assumptions
and expectations, which ultimately may prove to be inaccurate. Potential sources
of risk include (a) the inability of principal  suppliers to be Year 2000 ready,
which could result in delays in product deliveries from such suppliers;  and (b)
disruption of the distribution channel,  including  transportation  vendors; (c)
undiscovered Year 2000  incompatibilities  in systems or products;  (d) customer
problems  which  could  affect  revenue  demand;  and The  Company's  Year  2000
assessment is ongoing and the  consideration of contingency  plans will continue
to be evaluated as new information  becomes available.  At this stage,  however,
the  Company  has not  developed  a  comprehensive  contingency  plan to address
situations that may result if any of the third parties upon which the Company is
dependent  is  unable  to  achieve  Year  2000  compliance.  The need for such a
contingency  plan will be  evaluated  through the  remainder of 1998 and through
1999.  Undiscovered  issues  related  to Year 2000  compatibility  could  have a
material adverse impact.

E.  New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131,  "Disclosures about Segments of
an  Enterprise  and Related  Information,"  which is  effective  for the Company
beginning January 1, 1998. This statement establishes standards for the way that
public business  enterprises  report  information  about  operating  segments in
annual financial  statements and requires that these enterprises report selected
information  about  operating  segments in interim  financial  reports issued to
shareholders.  As this statement only requires certain disclosure,  its adoption
will not have any impact on the consolidated  financial  position,  consolidated
results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
