1.       Basis of Presentation

         The condensed consolidated balance sheet of Bogen Communications
         International, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31,
         1996 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.

         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, issued a convertible promissory note in the
         aggregate principal amount of $3,000, issued 3,700,000 shares of the
         Company's common stock and warrants to acquire 200,000 shares of common
         stock of the Company. In addition, there was an agreement to pay
         contingent consideration of up to $11,000, based upon an earnout
         calculation of operating results of Bogen and Speech Design during the
         two years after the acquisition. As a result of this transaction,
         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.

         In May 1996, the Company and Geotek entered into the most recent
         amendment to the Stock Purchase Agreement effective January 1, 1996.
         Pursuant to such agreement, (i) the $3,000 convertible promissory note
         payable by the Company to Geotek, due February 1997, was reduced and
         restructured to a $500 non-convertible promissory note due July 1997,
         which was paid subsequent to June 30, 1997, (ii) the earnout formula
         was revised to reflect an increase in the amount the Company could be
         liable to pay Geotek from $11,000 to $13,500 in connection with the
         reduction of the principal amount of the promissory note, and (iii)
         Geotek was granted an option to purchase, at any time through October
         31, 1997, from the Company $3,000 worth of Common Stock with exercise
         prices ranging from 100% to 65% of market price, depending on the date
         of exercise. Based on management's 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, no contingent consideration payment will be paid to
         Geotek.

         For accounting purposes, the August 21, 1995 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 acquirer 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 condensed 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.

         B.       Inventory, at lower of cost (first in, first out) or market,
                  as of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, is as follows:

                  The inventory balances are net of a reserve for inventory
                  valuation and obsolescence of $497 and $1,126 at June 30, 1997
                  and December 31, 1996, respectively.

         C.       Net Income Per Share

                  Net income per common share is computed by dividing net income
                  by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and
                  common stock equivalents, (unless anti-dilutive) outstanding
                  during the year.

         D.       Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

                  In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
                  ("FASB") issued Statement 128, Earnings Per Share, effective
                  for periods ending after December 15, 1997. This statement
                  establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings
                  per share ("EPS"), and replaces the current presentation of
                  primary EPS with basic EPS, which does not include dilutive
                  effects on earnings. It is calculated by dividing income
                  available to common stockholders by the weighted-average
                  number of common shares outstanding. The Company will adopt
                  this standard in 1997, and is presently analyzing the impact
                  of this new standard on its financial statements and related
                  disclosures.

                  In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement 130, Reporting
                  Comprehensive Income, effective for fiscal years beginning
                  after December 15, 1997. This statement establishes standards
                  for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
                  components (revenues, expenses, gains, and losses) in a full
                  set of general-purpose financial statements. The statement
                  requires that all items that are required to be recognized
                  under accounting standards as components of comprehensive
                  income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed
                  with the same prominence as other financial statements. The
                  Company will adopt this standard in 1998, and is presently
                  analyzing the impact of this new standard on its financial
                  statements and related disclosures.

                  In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement 131, Disclosures about
                  Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, effective
                  for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. This
                  statement establishes standards for the way that public
                  business enterprises report information about operating
                  segments in annual financial statements and requires that
                  those enterprises report selected information about operating
                  segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders.
                  It also establishes standards for related disclosures about
                  products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.
                  The Company is currently analyzing this statement and will
                  determine whether to adopt such standard based upon the
                  results of its analysis.

4.       Revolving Credit Agreements

         During the first quarter of 1997, Bogen Communications, Inc. ("BCI"), a
         wholly owned subsidiary of Bogen, obtained a new revolving senior
         credit line with a term of two years. The new credit line has a maximum
         line of borrowing of $7,000 and bears an annual interest rate of .5%
         over the lender's prime rate, and replaces Bogen's previous line of
         $10,000 which had an annual interest rate of 2% to 2.75% over the
         lender's prime rate (9.0% and 10.5% at June 30, 1997 and 1996,
         respectively). The senior loan is collaterized by all of the accounts
         receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and general
         intangibles of BCI and is guaranteed by the Company. Under the terms of
         this line of credit, BCI cannot, among other things, declare or pay
         dividends, return capital to its stockholders or redeem or repurchase
         any of its outstanding capital stock.

5.       Income Tax

         Domestic and foreign earnings before taxes on income from operations
         include income derived from operations in the respective U.S. and
         foreign geographic areas, whereas provisions for taxes on income
         include all income taxes payable to U.S., foreign and other governments
         as applicable, regardless of the sites in which the taxable income is
         generated. Income tax expense for 1997 and 1996 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. preacquisition loss carryforwards for which the
         benefit has been charged to goodwill. In accordance with SFAS No. 109,
         the Company has established a valuation allowance of $4,137 as of
         December 31, 1996. The valuation allowance was established due to the
         uncertainty of the realization of the deferred tax assets. A
         significant portion of the deferred tax assets which are currently
         subject to a valuation allowance may be allocated to reduce goodwill or
         other noncurrent intangible assets when subsequently recognized.

6.       Subsequent Events

         On July 1, 1997, the Company acquired all the net assets of New England
         Audio Resources, Inc. ("NEAR") for approximately $370 in cash,
         approximately $200 of which was used to retire NEAR's bank debt. The
         acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase in accordance with APB
         Opinion 16 and included in the Company's consolidated financial
         statements. NEAR is a manufacturer of high performance, weather-proof
         speakers. NEAR will be a part of the Company's Commercial Sound unit
         and their products will be marketed with the Company's product lines.

         Effective July 15, 1997, Zvi Peled, the Company's President and Chief
         Executive Officer resigned. Effective July 15, 1997 John J. Egidio was
         named acting President and Chief Executive Officer by the Board of
         Directors of the Company. Both Messrs. Peled and Egidio were nominated
         and elected to the Company's Board of Directors effective July 1, 1997.

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

       (ALL AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS)

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, 1997 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1996

Net Sales.

Net sales increased by $2,205 or 21.34% to $12,537 for the three months ended
June 30, 1997 as compared to $10,332 for the same period in 1996. The increase
in sales primarily resulted from increased sales of $2,383 in the Company's core
products, which includes Commercial Sound, Engineered Systems and Telco product
lines. This increase was partially offset by the phase out of the Office
Automated Systems ("OAS") product line which accounted for $178 of net sales for
the three months ended June 30, 1996.

Net sales from the Commercial Sound products increased to $2,866 for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 or 28.81% over net sales of $2,225 for the same
period in 1996. Net sales from the Engineered Systems products increased to
$2,795 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 or 50.84% over net sales of
$1,853 for the same period in 1996. Net sales from the Telco product increased
to $6,875 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 or 13.13% over net sales of
$6,077 for the same period in 1996. The Telco product line includes foreign
sales from Speech Design. Domestic sales increased to $2,396 for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 or 31% over net sales of $1,829 for the three months
ended June 30, 1996. Foreign sales translated into U.S. dollars increased to
$4,479 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 or 5.44% over net sales of
$4,248 for the same period in 1996. However, foreign net sales stated in local
currency increased to 7,675 Deutche Marks ("DM") for the three months ended June
30, 1997 or 33.13% over net sales of 5,765 DM for the three months ended June
30, 1996.


                                       11
<PAGE>   12
Gross Profit

Gross profit as a percentage of total net sales remained constant for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 at 46%. The gross profits remained constant
as a result of increased sales and incremental increased direct cost.


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A") increased by $465 for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the three months ended June 30,
1996. However SG&A decreased as a percentage of net sales by 1.8% for the same
periods. SG&A was $3,698, or 29.5% of net sales for the three months ended June
30, 1997 as compared to $3,233 or 31.3% of net sales for same period in 1996.
The increase is a result of increased personnel and professional services which
is directly attributable to the Company's increased net sales.


Research and Development

The Company's Research and Development ("R&D") programs are designed to
efficiently introduce innovative products in a timely manner. R&D expense was
$689 or 5.5% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1997 as compared
to $688 or 6.7% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1996.


Interest Expense

Interest expense was $111, or 0.9% of net sales for the three months ended June
30, 1997 as compared to $170, or 1.6% of net sales for the three months ended
June 30, 1996. The decrease of $59, or 34.7% primarily relates to the new
revolving credit line the Company entered into in February 1997 which decreased
the Company's borrowing rate by 1.5 percentage points to 9% at June 30, 1997
compared to 10.5% at June 30, 1996.


Income Taxes

Income tax expense increased for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $407 as
compared to $105 for the comparable period in 1996. The increase of $302 is due
to increased profits both domestic and foreign. Foreign taxes increased by $211
which is directly attributable to increased profits. Domestic taxes increased by
$91 as a result of the implementation of FASB 109, where taxes are booked, but
not paid due to the utilization of U.S. preacquisition loss carryforwards for
which the benefit has been charged to goodwill instead of offsetting taxes.

Net sales

Net sales increased by $2,355 or 10.86% to $24,045 for the six months ended June
30, 1997 as compared to $21,690 for the same period in 1996. The increase in
sales primarily resulted from increased sales of $3,589 in the Company's core
products, which includes Commercial Sound, Engineered Systems and Telco product
lines. This increase was partially offset by the phase out of the Office
Automated Systems ("OAS") product line which accounted for $1,234 of net sales
for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

Net sales from the Commercial Sound products increased to $4,921 for the six

sales, an increase of $1,520, as compared to $9,592, or 44.2% of net sales for
the same period in 1996. The increase in gross profit is primarily attributable
to the renegotiation of certain supply agreements during 1996 which had a
positive effect on 1997 cost of sales.


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A") increased by $832 for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the six months ended June 30,
1996. SG&A was $7,316, or 30.43% of net sales for the six months ended June 30,
1997 as compared to $6,484 or 29.89% of net sales for the same period in 1996.
The increase is a result of increased personnel and professional services which
is directly attributable to the Company's increased net sales.


Research and Development

The Company's Research and Development ("R&D") programs are designed to
efficiently introduce innovative products in a timely manner. R&D expense was
$1,375 or 5.7% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared
to $1,342 or 6.2% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996. R&D
expenses increased by $33, or 2.46% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as

30, 1997 as compared to $338, or 1.6% of net sales for the six months ended June

credit line the Company entered into in February 1997 which decreased the
Company's borrowing rate by 1.5% to 9% at June 30, 1997 compared to 10.5% as
June 30, 1996.


Income Taxes

Income tax expense increased for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $743
compared to $505 for the comparable period in 1996. The increase of $238 is due
to increased profits both domestic and foreign. Foreign taxes increased by $119
which is directly attributable to increased profits. Domestic taxes increased by
$119 as a result of the implementation of FASB 109, where taxes are booked, but
not paid due to the utilization of U.S. preacquisition loss carryforwards for
which the benefit has been charged to goodwill instead of offsetting taxes.


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, 1997 to the
Company's financial and cash position as of December 31, 1996.

During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company focused its efforts on
long-term growth by strengthening its profitable product lines. 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 provided $677 of operating capital. The
Company's net income of $973 includes net non-cash charges of $342, which
principally consisted of (i) depreciation and amortization of $743, (ii) a
reduction of inventory reserves of $630 (iii) minority interest of consolidated
subsidiaries of $274, (iv) a $164 decrease in reserves for bad debt and a $119
utilization of pre-acquisition NOL charged to goodwill. Further, net changes in
operational assets and liabilities used $637 in cash. Additionally, accounts
receivable decreased by $265, inventory decreased by $353, prepaid expenses and
other assets decreased by $379, accounts payable decreased by $1,030, accrued
liabilities decreased by $576 and net changes in other operating assets and
liabilities used $28 in cash.

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $637. During the first quarter
of 1997 the Company purchased equipment and other fixed assets of $636. Other
investing activities used $1 in cash.

Net cash used in financing activities amounted to $307. Notes payable increased
$177, of which $77 were from related parties. Net repayments of $484 were made
under revolving credit agreements.

As of June 30, 1997, the Company's total liabilities were $11,672, of which
$10,004 is due and payable within one year. Such indebtedness included loans
from third parties and loans and advances from Geotek.

During the first quarter of 1997, Bogen Communications, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Bogen, obtained from Summit Bank a new $7,000 revolving credit
line of two years. This new line is collateralized by the accounts receivable,
inventory and general intangibles of Bogen Communications, Inc. This line is
guaranteed by the Company. This new line, which meets Bogen's needs, is lower
than the previous line and has a lower annual interest rate than the previous
line, while substantially decreasing the associated fees to be paid on an annual
basis. In addition, Bogen has an established working capital line of credit 


                                       14
<PAGE>   15
with Geotek in the aggregate amount of $2,000. At June 30, 1997, Bogen had no
borrowings outstanding under the working capital line with Geotek.

Speech Design, has credit lines and overdraft facilities of approximately 6
million DM. At June 30, 1997 borrowing and availability under these lines
amounted to $2.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively. These lines are
collateralized by all of Speech Design's accounts receivable and inventory.

The Company believes that it has adequate liquidity to finance its ongoing
activities and capital expenditures for the near term but may be required to
seek additional capital in the event it wishes to expand its operations through
acquisitions or otherwise.
