         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.     Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

       In the  opinion  of  management,  the  unaudited  condensed  consolidated
       balance sheet at March 31, 1999, and the unaudited condensed consolidated
       statements of income and unaudited condensed  consolidated  statements of
       cash flows for the interim periods ended March 31, 1999, and 1998 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  condensed  statements be read in
       conjunction with the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for
       the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.

       Certain prior year amounts have been  reclassified to conform to the 1999
       presentation.


2.     Accounting Pronouncements

       In June of 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
       Instruments   and  Hedging   Activities."   This  statement   establishes
       accounting  and  reporting  standards  for  derivative   instruments  and
       requires  recognition of all  derivatives as assets or liabilities in the
       statement of position and measurement of these instruments at fair value.
       The  statement is effective  for fiscal  years  beginning  after June 15,
       1999.  Management  believes that adopting this  statement will not have a
       material impact on the financial position, results of operations, or cash
       flows of the Company.

5.       Strategic Partnership

       On March 2, 1999, Dialogic and Microsoft  Corporation announced that they
       have entered into a strategic  alliance  relating to Dialogic's CT server
       initiative  and  Dialogic's CT Media for Windows NT  middleware  product.
       Under the terms of a license and  development  agreement,  Microsoft will
       become a  nonexclusive  licensee  of  Dialogic's  CT Media for Windows NT
       middleware  product.  Dialogic will enter into development  activities to
       create  specific  applications in the telephony space which will be owned
       by Microsoft  and will provide other  support and  development  services.
       Under the  license  and  development  agreement,  Microsoft  payments  to
       Dialogic  over the next four years are expected to be $20 million for the
       initial  licenses for CT Media for Windows NT, the development  services,
       and  certain  support.  Microsoft's  license  to CT Media is  subject  to
       certain  contractual  limitations,  and Dialogic will continue to own and
       remains free to license CT Media. In the first quarter,  $5.0 million was
       received by the Company from Microsoft under this Agreement, all of which
       has been recorded as deferred revenue.

       In a  separate  transaction,  also  occurring  March 2,  1999,  Microsoft
       agreed,  for an aggregate  purchase  price of $24.2  million,  to acquire
       860,681  newly  issued  shares  of  Dialogic  common  stock and a warrant
       entitling  Microsoft to purchase 279,869 shares of Dialogic common stock.
       The  warrant  has a term of four years and is  exercisable  at a price of
       $35.19 per share.  Both the issued shares and the shares  resulting  from
       the exercise of the warrant are subject to a lockup  period  beginning on
       the  transaction  date.  During  the  first  year of the  lockup  period,
       Microsoft  may sell  none of the  shares,  and may  only  sell 50% of the
       shares in the second year of the lockup  period.  Thereafter,  all shares
       may be freely  sold.  On March 2,  1999,  Dialogic  issued the shares and
       warrant to Microsoft.


6.       Divestment

       On February 17, 1998,  the Company  completed  the sale of the  principal
       assets of Spectron Microsystems Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, to Texas
       Instruments  for $26.0  million,  resulting  in a  pre-tax  gain of $23.4
       million.  The  disposition  of these  assets will not have a  significant
       effect on the revenues or earnings of the Company in future periods.


7.       Asset Impairment

       During the first  quarter of 1998,  the  Company  undertook  a  strategic
       review of its business and product  offerings.  At the conclusion of this
       review,  the Company determined it would discontinue 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  charge of $3.5 million related to the write-down of
       goodwill.  The  discontinuance  of this  product  line  will  not  have a
       significant  effect on the  revenues or earnings of the Company in future
       periods.

<PAGE>

       During the first quarter of 1998, the Company  upgraded  certain internal
       information  technology  systems.  Accordingly,  the Company  took a $1.8
       million  charge ($1.3 million  after-tax) to reduce the carrying value of
       the  internal  information  technology  assets  that  will no  longer  be
       utilized and therefore provide no future benefit to the Company.


8.       Segment Information

       The  Company  operates  and  manages  its  business   under  one segment,
       "Computer  Telephony" (See  note 9 in the Company's 1998 Annual  Report).
       There have been  no  material  changes  in the basis in which the Company
       operates since December 1998.

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  incorporated by reference in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 1998 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  competitive  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,  1998.  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

Revenue  reported in the United States  represented  $51.3 million for the three
months ended March 31,  1999,  as compared to $50.6  million for the  comparable
prior year period.  Revenue  reported in the United States includes export sales
primarily to Canada, Latin America,  Korea, China,  Southeast Asia, Middle East,
Australia  and New Zealand.  Modest  revenue  growth from the United  States was
impacted by general market  weakness and economic  weakness in Brazil.  Revenues
generated  from Japan and Belgium  (including all of Western  Europe)  increased
33.5% to $21.1  million from $15.7  million for the three months ended March 31,
1999 and 1998.  The increase in  international  revenue was  primarily  due to a
38.1% growth to $17.8 million in revenue from Belgium.


<PAGE>


Gross  margins  increased  to 64.8% for the three  months  ended March 31, 1999,
compared to 62.9% for the three  months  ended March 31,  1998.  The increase in
margins  reflects  the  continued  effects of  Dialogic's  cost  reductions  and
favorable product mix.

Research and development  expenses as a percentage of revenues represented 24.3%
for the quarter  ended March 31, 1999, as compared to 20.7% for the three months
ended March 31, 1998. The Company 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  hardware  and  software
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 1999 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  Company'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 increased to $22.2 million for the
three  months  ended  March  31,  1999,  as  compared  to $19.0  million  in the
comparable  prior year  period.  As a  percentage  of total  revenues,  selling,
general and  administrative  expenses  increased  to 30.7% in the first  quarter
compared  to 28.6%  for the  comparable  prior  year  period.  The  increase  in
expenditures  is  primarily  attributable  to costs  associated  with  increased
international revenues and marketing initiatives.

Asset impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 1998, included the
write-down  of  goodwill  associated  with  the  1996  acquisition  of  Dianatel
Corporation  of  $3.5  million  and a  $1.8  million  pre-tax  charge  primarily
associated with the write-down of certain  information  technology assets.  (See
Note 7 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Net  interest  income for the quarter  increased  $173,000  over the  comparable
period ended March 31, 1998. The increase  primarily  reflects the growth in the
Company's  short-term bank deposits due in part to the proceeds from the sale of
860,681 shares of common stock to Microsoft Corporation.

The Company's effective income tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, is
36.0% as compared to 43.8% for the period ended March 31, 1998.  The higher rate
for the three  months ended March 31, 1998,  is  primarily  attributable  to the
write-down of the non-tax  deductible  goodwill of Dianatel  Corporation  in the
amount of $3.5 million,  as well as the higher effective tax rate on the gain on
the Spectron sale, in 1998.

Net income for the quarter  ended March 31,  1999,  was $5.0 million or $.30 per
share on a diluted  basis,  compared  to $15.6  million  or $0.93 per share on a
diluted basis, for the comparable  period ended March 31, 1998.  Results for the
equivalent prior year period include an after-tax gain of $14.0 million or $0.83
per share  from the asset  sale of a  subsidiary  and  charges  related to asset
impairment  of $4.8  million  after-tax  or  $0.29  per  diluted  share  for the
write-down of certain assets.

<PAGE>

Management  believes  that this  additional  information  regarding  earnings is
useful and meaningful to an  understanding  of the operating  performance of the
Company.  However,  this measurement of earnings should not be considered by the
reader  as an  alternative  to net  income  as an  indicator  of  the  Company's
operations  or  performance,  or to cash  flows as an  indicator  of  liquidity.
Weighted  average  diluted  shares   outstanding   represented   16,899,000  and
16,825,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, and 1998, respectively.

C.  Financial Condition

As of March 31,  1999,  the Company had  working  capital of $175  million and a
current ratio (i.e., the ratio of current assets to current  liabilities) of 6.0
to 1, compared  with working  capital of $140 million and a current ratio of 4.7
to 1 at December 31, 1998. The Company's consolidated cash, cash equivalents and
marketable  securities  increased by $35.6 million during the three months ended
March 31, 1999.  Cash provided from  operations  was $11.6  million,  while $1.4
million was used in investing activities and $24.9 million provided by financing
activities.

The Company's  investing  activities  for the three months ended March 31, 1999,
included  expenditures  of $2.4 million for the property and  equipment and $1.5
million for investments in companies Dialogic believes to be strategic partners.

Net cash  provided  by  financing  activities  was $24.9  million.  The  Company
received  $24.2  million  on March 2, 1999,  from the sale of 860,681  shares of
common stock to Microsoft  Corporation.  Cash  expended  for the  repurchase  of
treasury stock of $489,000 was offset by the proceeds from the exercise of stock
options of approximately $918,000. Dialogic believes that the combination of its
current liquidity, cash generated from operations and the credit available under
its existing bank line of $30 million,  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 or databases
using a two-digit  format,  as opposed to four  digits,  to represent a calendar
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  or  accuracy 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 has been and  anticipates

<PAGE>

continuing  to work 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 ongoing
throughout  1999.  To date,  the Company has not  identified  any such  problems
requiring corrective action that will result in a material adverse 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 believes the products it currently offers for
sale or license are all Year 2000 compliant,  and that the cost to remediate any
previously sold product that is not Year 2000 compliant will not be material.

The  Company  has and will  incur  internal  staff  costs  related  to the above
initiative. The Company maintains a web site and has responded to many inquiries
from customers  regarding Year 2000 compliance of its products.  These costs are
not considered to have a material impact on the Company's  operating results and
have not been quantified.

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  represents  a  forward-looking
statement under the Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995.  Actual
results  could differ  materially  from the Company's  belief and  expectations,
which are based on certain  assumptions  and  expectations  that  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;  (b)  disruption of the  distribution
channel,  including  transportation  vendors;  (c) customer problems which could
affect  revenue   demand;   (d)   undiscovered   issues  related  to  Year  2000
compatibility  which could have a material  adverse  impact.  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 throughout 1999.

E.       New Accounting Pronouncements

In June of 1998,  the FASB  issued  SFAS No.  133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement  establishes  accounting and
reporting standards for derivative  instruments and requires  recognition of all
derivatives as assets or liabilities in the statement of financial  position and
measurement of these  instruments at fair value.  The statement is effective for
fiscal years  beginning after June 15, 1999.  Management  believes that adopting
this  statement  will not have a  material  impact  on the  financial  position,
results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.


<PAGE>

Item 3.

           QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISKS

The Company was not a party to any  agreements  involving  derivative  financial
instruments at March 31, 1999.  The Company's  primary market risk exposures are
in the areas of interest rate risk and foreign currency  exchange rate risk. The
Company's  investment  portfolio of cash equivalents is subject to interest rate
fluctuations,  but the  Company  believes  this  risk is  immaterial  due to the
short-term nature of these investments.  The Company's  investment  portfolio of
marketable debt securities is comprised primarily of fixed rate municipal bonds.
The Company has classified all of these securities as available-for-sale,  which
reduces income statement  exposure to interest rate risk. The Company  mitigates
risk in its investment  portfolios by placing its investments with  high-quality
issuers it  believes  are  credit  worthy.  The  Company's  exposure  to foreign
currency exchange rate  fluctuations has historically been modest.  The majority
of the Company's revenue and receivables are denominated in US dollars. Based on
the foreign currency exposure of nonfunctional currency denominated  receivables
and payables at March 31, 1999, a 10% adverse change in currency rates would not
materially affect the Company's  financial position,  results of operations,  or
cash flows.  As the Company  continues to expand its  presence  internationally,
there  can  be  no  assurance  that  foreign  currency   exposures  will  remain
insignificant.

                           PART II. Other Information

       Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

                  For  other   information   regarding   certain  pending  legal
                  proceedings, see Item 3 of the Company's Annual Report on Form
                  10-K for the year  ended  December  31,  1998.  As  previously
                  disclosed, the Company and Brooktrout Technology, Inc. reached
                  a  settlement  in  their   litigation  in  which  all  parties
                  dismissed their claims with prejudice, and Dialogic received a
                  "pass  through"   license  to  certain   Brooktrout   patents.
                  Separately,   the  Company's  Spectron   subsidiary  had  sued
                  Brooktrout for patent infringement.  This case was transferred
                  to the  District of  Massachusetts.  Dialogic  believes it has
                  retained  the rights to  maintain  this  lawsuit  despite  the
                  February  1998 sale of the  Spectron  assets.  Brooktrout  has
                  moved to dismiss this case,  claiming  that Dialogic no longer
                  has standing to enforce the patents. Trial in this case is now
                  scheduled for the late summer of 1999.


         Item 5.  Other Matters

                  (a) A  Registration  Statement  on Form S-3 was filed on April
                  30,  1999.  The  registration  statement  covers the resale of
                  720,550  shares  of  the  Company's  common  stock  issued  to
                  Microsoft  Corporation pursuant to the Company's March 2, 1999
                  sale of 860,681 newly issued  shares of Dialogic  common stock
                  and a warrant  entitling  Microsoft to purchase 279,869 shares
                  of Dialogic common stock.
