BOGEN COMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In Thousands of Dollars, Except Share Amounts)
(UNAUDITED)

1.      Basis of Presentation

        The  condensed   consolidated  balance  sheet  of  Bogen  Communications
        International,  Inc. and Subsidiaries  (the"Company") as of December 31,
        1995 has  been  derived  from the  audited  consolidated  balance  sheet
        contained in the Company's  Form 10-K and is presented  for  comparative
        purposes.  In the opinion of  management,  all  significant  adjustments
        including normal recurring  adjustments  necessary to present fairly the
        financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods
        presented have been made. The results of operations for interim  periods
        are not  necessarily  indicative of the  operating  results for the full
        year.  Certain 1995 amounts have been  reclassified  to conform with the
        1996 presentation.

        Footnote  disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
        in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles have been
        omitted in accordance  with the published  rules and  regulations of the
        Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.   These  condensed   consolidated
        financial  statements  should be read in conjunction  with the financial
        statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the
        most recent fiscal year.

2.      The Company

        On August  21,  1995,  the  Company  acquired  a 99%  interest  in Bogen
        Corporation  ("Bogen") and a 67% interest in Speech Design GmbH ("Speech
        Design") from Geotek Communications,  Inc. ("Geotek").  The Company paid
        Geotek  $7,000 in cash, a convertible  promissory  note in the aggregate
        principal  amount of  $3,000,  (see  note 5  "Amendment  to  Shareholder
        Agreement")  3,700,000 shares of the Company's common stock and warrants
        to acquire  200,000 shares of common stock of the Company.  As a result,
        Geotek acquired  approximately 64% of the stock of the Company,  thereby
        giving it a controlling  interest in the Company.  Geotek,  in addition,
        contributed approximately $7,155 of intercompany indebtedness from Bogen
        to  equity  as  part  of  the   transaction.   Further,   as  contingent
        consideration, the Company could be liable to pay Geotek an amount up to
        $11,000,  based upon a  calculation  of  operating  results of Bogen and
        Speech  Design  during  the two years  after the  acquisition.  Based on
        managements review of the earnout calculation,  which takes into account
        Speech Design and Bogen's operating results for the last two quarters of
        1995,  all of 1996 and the first two quarters of 1997,  the  anticipated
        contingent  consideration  payment,  if any,  will not  have a  material
        adverse  effect  on  the  Company's  financial  position  and  operating
        results.

        For  accounting  purposes,  the  acquisition is being treated as a joint
        acquisition of the Company by Bogen and Speech Design,  companies  under
        the common  control of Geotek.  The  transaction is considered a reverse
        acquisition  with Geotek as the acquiror for  accounting  purposes.  The
        historical  financial  statements  reflect the  combination of Bogen and
        Speech   Design  in  a  manner   similar  to  a  pooling  of  interests.
        Accordingly,  the historical  financial  statements reflect the combined
        operations of Bogen and Speech Design prior to the transaction.

3.      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

        A.     Principles of Consolidation

               The  consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of
               Bogen  Communications  International,   Inc.,  Bogen  and  Speech
               Design.  All significant  intercompany  balances and transactions
               have been eliminated in consolidation.

          C.   Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

               In March 1995, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
               issued SFAS No. 121  "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
               Assets  and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be  Disposed  of" which is
               effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1995. The
               Company will adopt this  standard  later in 1996 and is presently
               analyzing the impact of this new standard.

4.      Income Tax

        Income tax expense for 1996 and 1995 differs from the amount computed by
        applying  the U.S.  federal  statutory  rates due to higher tax rates in
        Europe  for  which  no  U.S.  tax  benefit  has  been  provided  and the
        utilization of U.S. loss carryforwards.

5.      Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement

        In May 1996,  the  Company  and  Geotek  entered  into an  agreement  in
        principle  to amend,  effective  January  1,  1996,  the Stock  Purchase
        Agreement  dated as of April 6,  1995.  Pursuant  to such  agreement  in
        principle,  (i) the $3,000  convertible  promissory  note payable by the
        Company to Geotek,  due February 1997, will be reduced and  restructured
        to a $500  non-convertible  promissory note due July 1997, (ii) Geotek's
        contingent  obligation  to pay up to $2,500 in cash (or,  at its option,
        make a ten year, 4% loan in the principal amount of up to $5,000) to the
        Company if Speech Design and Bogen,  in the aggregate,  achieve  certain
        earning  goals during the period from July 1, 1995 to June 30, 1997 will
        be  proportionally  reduced,  and (iii) during the period  commencing on
        February 21, 1997 and ending one year thereafter, Geotek will be granted
        an option to purchase from the Company  $3,000 worth of the Common Stock
        of the Company at the discount rates provided in the $3,000  convertible
        promissory note.

CAUTIONARY  STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE SAFE HARBOR  PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE
SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

        This report contains  "forward-looking"  statements. The Company desires
to take advantage of the new "safe harbor"  provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation  Reform Act of 1995 and is including  this  statement for the express
purpose of availing  itself of the  protections of such safe harbor with respect
to  all  of  such  forward-looking   statements.   Examples  of  forward-looking
statements include,  but are not limited to (a) projections of revenues,  income
or loss, earnings or loss per share, capital  expenditures,  dividends,  capital
structure and other financial  items,  (b) statements of plans and objectives of
the Company or its management or Board of Directors,  including the introduction
of new products, or estimates or predictions of actions by customers, suppliers,
competitors  or  regulating  authorities,  (c)  statements  of future   economic
performance and (d) statements of assumptions  underlying  other  statements and
statements about the Company or its business.

        The  Company's  ability to predict  projected  results or to predict the
effect of any  legislation  or other pending  events on the Company's  operating
results is inherently uncertain.  Therefore,  the Company wishes to caution each
reader of this report to carefully  consider specific  factors,  including price
competition, the decisions of customers, the actions of competitors, the effects
of government regulations,  possible delays in the introduction of new products,
customer acceptance of products and services and other factors discussed herein,
because such factors in some cases have  affected,  and in the future  (together
with other  factors)  could  affect,  the  ability of the Company to achieve its
projected  results and may cause actual results to differ  materially from those
expressed herein.

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

General

The financial  statements and the following  discussion  include the accounts of
Bogen  Corporation  ("Bogen"),  the Company's 99% owned  subsidiary,  and Speech
Design  GmbH  ("Speech  Design"),  its 67%  owned  subsidiary.  All  significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to the Three Months Ended 
June 30, 1995

Net Sales.

Net sales of $10,332,000 for the second quarter of 1996 decreased  $974,000,  or
9% from net sales of  $11,306,000 in the second quarter of 1995. The decrease in
net sales is  principally  due to a decrease of  $1,180,000  in net sales of the
Company's  Office  Automated  Systems  ("OAS")  products.  See "Phase-Out of OAS
Product  Line."  below.  The  decrease in net sales was  partially  offset by an
aggregate  increase of  $206,000  of core  products  net sales,  which  includes
Commercial Sound, Engineered Systems and Telco Product Lines.

Net sales for Commercial Sound products remained constant at approximately  $2.2
million for the second  quarter of 1996 compared to the same period of 1995. Net
sales of the Engineered System line of products  increased to $1,853,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 1996, a 13% increase from net sales of $1,645,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 1995.

Telco net sales remained  constant at approximately  $6.1 million for the second
quarter of 1996  compared to the same period of 1995.  The Telco product line is
the only  product line  distributed  by both Bogen and Speech  Design.  Domestic
Telco  sales  increased  $321,000,  or 12% over the  comparable  period in 1995.
Foreign Telco sales decreased by $331,000,  or 10% over the comparable period in
1995.

Net sales for the OAS product line for the second quarter of 1996 were $178,000,
a decrease of  $1,180,000,  or 87% from sales of $1,358,000  for the  comparable
period of 1995. See "Phase-Out of OAS Product Line", below.

                                       10


<PAGE>

Gross Profit.

Gross profit as a percentage  of total net sales for the quarter  ended June 30,
1996 was 46% compared to 43% for the comparable  period in 1995. The increase in
gross profit margin is attributed to a change in product mix resulting  from the
phase-out of the OAS product line, which had a significantly  lower gross profit
margin than the  Company's  other  products.  OAS net sales  comprised 2% of net
sales during the quarter  ended June 30, 1996,  compared to 12% of net sales for
the comparable period in 1995.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.

Selling,  General  and  Administrative  expenses  (SG&A)  decreased  in absolute
dollars and  remained  relatively  unchanged  as a  percentage  of sales for the
second  quarter  of 1996 as  compared  to the second  quarter of 1995.  SG&A was
$3,233,000  or 31% of net sales for the second  quarter of 1996 as  compared  to
$3,373,000  or 30% for the second  quarter of 1995.  The decrease of $140,000 is
primarily  attributed to the reduction in marketing  expense  related to the OAS
product line.

Research and Development.

Research and Development  expense  ("R&D") was $688,000,  or 7% of net sales for
the second  quarter of 1996,  compared  to  471,000,  or 4% of net sales for the
second quarter of 1995. This  represents a $217,000,  or 46% increase from 1995,
which is attributed  to higher staff levels and increased  levels of activity in
connection with the development of new products.  The Company's R&D programs are
designed to efficiently introduce innovative products in a timely manner.

Interest Expense

Interest expense in the second quarter of 1996 was $170,000,  or 2% of net sales
compared to $355,000,  or 3% of net sales in 1995. The $185,000, or 52% decrease
is primarily  attributable  to a reduction in notes  payable to Geotek that were
contributed  to  equity  in August of 1995,  in  connection  with the  Company's
acquisition of Bogen.

Taxes on Income.

Speech  Design  incurred  approximately  $105,000 in foreign  taxes,  a $326,000
decrease  from  $431,000  in the  second  quarter  of  1995.  This  decrease  is
attributed to a reduction in Speech Design's second quarter earnings as compared
to the second  quarter of 1995.  The  decrease  in Speech  Design's  earnings is
primarily  attributable to an increase in SG&A expenses associated with the roll
out of a new product and costs  associated  with  expansion  into new geographic
markets.

Phase-Out of OAS Product Line.

In December 1995, the Company's  management decided to phase-out the OAS product
line. This decision was based on the intense  competition that the Company faced
from local telephone  companies and answering service  companies,  both of which
offer central voice mail services.  The Company's OAS product line competed with
products that were frequently offered at a lower retail price than the Company's
products.  In  addition,  competitors'  products  benefitted  from better  brand
recognition  in the  marketplace,  which is  dominated  by AT&T,  Panasonic  and
PhoneMate.  The Company  anticipates the phase-out will be completed  during the
third  quarter of 1996.  However,  there can be no assurance  that the phase-out
will not require more time to complete.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1995

Net Sales

Net sales in the first six months of 1996 of $21,690,000  decreased by $462,000,
or 2% from net  sales of  $22,152,000  in the  first  six  months  of 1995.  The
decrease in net sales is primarily due to a  $1,766,000,  or 59% decrease in net
sales  of the OAS  product  line,  precipitated  by the  Company's  decision  to
phase-out this product line.  This decrease,  however,  was partially  offset by
strong growth in net sales of the Company's  core product line which resulted in
a  $1,303,000,  or 7%  increase  over net  sales  of such  products  during  the
comparable period of 1995.

Gross Profit

Gross profit in the first six months of 1996 increased  $162,000,  or 2% and was
44% of sales  compared to 42% of sales for the  comparable  period in 1995.  The
increase  in gross  profit  margin  is  attributed  to a change in  product  mix
resulting from the phase-out of the OAS product line,  which had a significantly
lower gross  profit  margin than the  Company's  other  products.  OAS net sales
comprised 6% of total net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared
to 14% of net sales in the comparable period in 1995.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A of $6,484,000  in the first six months of 1996  decreased  $265,000,  or 4%
from SG&A of  $6,749,000  in the  comparable  period  of 1995.  The  decline  is
primarily  attributed to a reduction in selling and marketing expense related to
the OAS product line.

Research and Development

R&D expense of $1,342,000 in the first six months of 1996 increased $283,000, or
27% over R&D expense of  $1,059,000  in the  comparable  period of 1995,  due to
higher  staff levels and  increased  levels of activity in  connection  with the
development of new products.  The Company  intends to continue to strengthen its
core product line by continuing  to introduce  innovative  products  designed to
better meet the needs of its client  base.  There can be no  assurance  that the
Company will  develop  such  products in a  cost-effective  manner,  on a timely
basis, or at all.

Interest Expense

Interest  expense  in the first  six  months of 1996 was  $338,000  compared  to
$712,000,  for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The decrease of $374,000,  or
53% is primarily  attributed to a reduction in notes payable to Geotek that were
contributed  to equity in August of 1995 in connection  with the  acquisition of
Bogen.

Taxes on Income

Speech Design  incurred  approximately  $505,000 in foreign taxes, a decrease of
$203,000, or 29% from $708,000 in the comparable period in 1995. The decrease is
attributed  to a reduction  in Speech  Design's  earnings  during the six months
ended June 30, 1996, at the Company's  expected effective tax rate. The decrease
in Speech  Design's  earnings is  primarily  attributed  to higher SG&A  expense
associated  with  the  roll  out of a new  product  and the  expansion  into new
geographic markets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following discussion of liquidity and capital resources, among other things,
compares the  Company's  financial  and cash position as of June 30, 1996 to the
Company's financial and cash position as of December 31, 1995.

During the six months  ended June 30, 1996,  the Company  focused its efforts on
long-term growth by strengthening  profitable product lines while continuing the
phase-out of the OAS product line. Cash  utilization  focused on current working
capital requirements,  the paydown of related party debt and subordinated notes,
and the purchase of equipment and leasehold improvements.

The Company's  operating  activities  used  $759,000 of cash.  The Company's net
income of $600,000 included net non-cash charges of $374,000, which consisted of
(i)  depreciation  and  amortization of $585,000,  (ii) a reduction of inventory
reserves of $1,276,000  (of which  $1,196,000  relates to the OAS product line),
(iii) loss from minority  interest of consolidated  subsidiaries of $103,000 and
(iv) a $214,000  increase  in  reserves  for bad debt.  Further,  net changes in
operational assets and liabilities used $985,000 of cash.

                                       12


<PAGE>

Net cash flows used in investing activities of $368,000 was used principally for
the purchase of equipment and leasehold improvements.

Cash flows from  financing  activities  include  cash used to repay (i)  related
parties  advances and notes of $271,000,  (ii) notes payable of $139,000,  (iii)
net borrowings under revolving credit  agreements of $1,100,000,  and (iv) other
items amounting to $3,000, for a net usage of $687,000.

As of June 30, 1996, the Company's total  liabilities  were $15,235,000 of which
$13,175,000  was  due and  payable  within  one  year of  June  30,  1996.  Such
indebtedness  included  loans from third  parties  and loans and  advances  from
Geotek.

In August 1995,  Bogen extended for a two year term through August 1997, its $10
million senior credit agreement. The line is secured by substantially all assets
of Bogen and is  guaranteed  by  Geotek.  Advances  to Bogen are made based on a
percentage of accounts receivable and inventory.  As of June 30, 1996, Bogen had
borrowings  of  $4,142,000  and the  unutilized  credit  line  availability  was
$170,000. Also in August 1995, Bogen established a two year working capital line
of credit with Geotek,  in the aggregate amount of $2 million.  At June 30, 1996
Bogen had no borrowings outstanding under the working capital line.

As of June 30, 1996,  Speech Design had short term lines of credit and overdraft
facilities of $3,241,000  available.  Short term borrowings under such facilites
amounted to $2,233,000.  Speech Design's unutilized credit line availability was
$1,008,000 at June 30, 1996.

In May 1996,  the Company and Geotek  entered  into an agreement in principle to
amend, effective January 1, 1996, the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of April
6,  1995.  As  part of such  agreement  in  principle,  the  initial  $3,000,000
convertible  note from the Company to Geotek will be  restructured to a $500,000
note bearing interest as stated in the original note. The agreement in principle
is more fully described in Footnote 5 to the accompanying financial statements.

The  Company  believes  that it has  adequate  liquidity  to finance its ongoing
activities.
