Statement  redefines  earnings  per share under  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.  Under the new standard,  primary  earnings per share is replaced by
basic  earnings  per share and fully  diluted  earnings per share is replaced by
diluted earnings per share.

The  unaudited  pro forma  basic and  diluted  earnings  per share  computed  in
accordance with FAS 128 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
1997 and 1996 are as follows:

In June 1997,  the FASB  issued  Statement  No.  130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive
Income" ("FAS 130"). FAS 130 establishes  standards for reporting  comprehensive
income and its  components in a financial  statement  that is displayed with the
same prominence as other financial  statements.  Comprehensive income as defined
includes  all changes in equity  (net  assets)  during a period  from  non-owner
sources.  Examples of items to be included in  comprehensive  income,  which are
excluded from net income,  include foreign currency translation  adjustments and
unrealized gain/loss on available-for-sale securities. The disclosure prescribed
by FAS 130 must be made beginning with the first quarter of calendar 1998.

In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 131,  "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related  Information" ("FAS 131"). This statement  establishes
standards for the way companies report  information about operating  segments in
annual  financial   statements.   It  also  establishes  standards  for  related
disclosures about products and services,  geographic areas, and major customers.
The disclosures prescribed by FAS 131 are effective for 1998.

NOTE 3--COMMON STOCK

On January 27, 1997, the Company announced its plans to purchase up to 1 million
shares of its outstanding Common Stock. The Company  subsequently  repurchased 1
million shares at an aggregate price of $12.9 million.  The Company has no plans
to repurchase additional shares at this time.


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

The  following  information  should  be read in  conjunction  with  the  interim
financial  statements  and the notes thereto in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly
Report.

Background

The Company's  primary sales and distribution  channels include direct marketing
fulfillment programs ("Agency  Fulfillment"),  standard fulfillment of telephone
company orders ("Standard  Fulfillment"),  and wholesale  shipments  directly to
telephone companies,  and, to a lesser extent,  international  accounts,  retail
stores  ("Retail")  and OEM  customers.  Agency  Fulfillment  programs are sales
campaigns  run  by  the  Company  involving  the  use of  television  and  radio
advertising,  consumer  mailings and  telemarketing to sell intelligent  network
services  for the  Regional  Bell  Operating  Companies  (each  an  "RBOC")  and
independent  telephone operating  companies (each an "Independent  Telco") which
utilize  the  Company's  products.  Standard  Fulfillment  sales  occur when the
Company receives an order either  electronically  or through an on-line transfer
of the  customer by the RBOC or  Independent  Telco,  and the Company  ships the
requested product directly to the customer.  In the case of Standard Fulfillment
sales,  the RBOC or  Independent  Telco  generates the order by  performing  the
marketing activities  themselves.  Standard Fulfillment sales accounted for 43%,
68% and 50% of sales in 1996, 1995 and 1994,  respectively.  Agency  Fulfillment
sales totaled 25%, 2% and 0% of sales in 1996, 1995 and 1994,  respectively.  In
the third quarter of 1997, Standard Fulfillment sales accounted for 28% of sales
and Agency  Fulfillment  sales totaled 47% of sales. In the first nine months of
1997,  Standard  Fulfillment  sales  accounted  for  34%  of  sales  and  Agency
Fulfillment sales totaled 48% of sales.

This Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations  contains  forward-looking  statements  which  reflect the  Company's
current  views with  respect  to future  events  which may impact the  Company's
results  of  operations  and  financial  condition.  In this  report,  the words
"anticipates,"   "believes,"   "expects,"   "intends,"   "future"   and  similar
expressions   identify   forward-looking   statements.   These   forward-looking
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties  and other factors,  including
those set forth  below  under  the  caption  "Factors  Which May  Affect  Future
Results," which could cause the actual future results to differ  materially from
historical  results or those described in the  forward-looking  statements.  The
forward-looking   statements  contained  in  this  Management's  Discussion  and
Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of Operations and made elsewhere by
the  Company  should  be  considered  in  light of these  factors.  Readers  are

Sales

Sales are recognized  upon shipment of the product to the customer less reserves
for anticipated  returns or retention of certain services provided by the Telcos
and customer  credit  worthiness.  Sales  increased  11% to $51.1 million in the
third  quarter  of 1997 from $46  million  in the third  quarter  of 1996.  This
increase was  primarily due to the product  introduction  of large format screen
phones sold through the Company's direct marketing programs to Southwestern Bell
customers.  Additionally  there were  increased  unit sales of adjunct  products
through the  Company's  Agency  Fulfillment  programs  for Caller ID services on
behalf of GTE and Standard Fulfillment sales to NYNEX customers. These increases
were partially offset by decreases in unit sales of phones sold to Ameritech. In
the first nine months of 1997,  sales were $186.4 million,  an 18% increase over
sales of $158.1 million for the same period in 1996. This increase was primarily
due to increased  unit sales of adjunct  products  through the Company's  Agency
Fulfillment  programs  for Caller ID  services  on behalf of GTE,  and growth in
Standard  Fulfillment  sales  to US West  and  NYNEX  customers,  as well as the
introduction of large format screen phones in the third quarter sold through the
Company's direct marketing  programs to Southwestern Bell customers.  Ameritech,
the  Company's  second  largest  customer  in  1996,  discontinued  selling  the
Company's  products in the second  quarter of 1997.  The Company  believes  that
Ameritech  will not make any  significant  purchases  for the remainder of 1997.
Higher  volumes of large screen phones and adjuncts  during the third quarter of
1997 were  partially  offset by lower sales  volumes and sales  prices of corded
telephones and lower sales prices of adjuncts as compared with the third quarter
of 1996.

Gross margin

Cost of sales includes  primarily the cost of finished goods  purchased from the
Company's offshore contract  manufacturers,  costs associated with procuring and
warehousing the Company's inventory and royalties payable on licensed technology
used in the Company's products.  Gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased
to 44.4% in the third  quarter of 1997 from  49.8% in the same  quarter of 1996.
Gross margin as a percentage of sales  decreased to 45% in the first nine months
of 1997 from 45.6% for the same period in 1996.  These  decreases  resulted from
declines in average  selling prices of adjunct  products and the  liquidation of
several older model  telephones to prepare for new product  introductions in the
fourth  quarter.  The Company expects gross margins to vary in the future due to
changes in sales mix by distribution  channel and product mix. In addition,  the
Company  anticipates  that gross  margins may continue to decline over time as a
result of competitive pricing pressures.

Research and development expenses

Research and development  expenses  represent  primarily salaries for personnel,
associated  benefits,  and tooling and supplies  for  research  and  development
activities.  The  Company's  policy is to expense all research  and  development
expenditures  as incurred except for certain  investments for tooling.  Research
and  development  expenses  increased  to  $4.1  million  in the  quarter  ended
September  30,1997 from $3.1  million in the same quarter of 1996.  Research and
development expenses in the nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
were $12.6 million and $9.7 million,  respectively.  These  increases  primarily
resulted from increased spending on development  projects,  such as ADSI phones,
cordless  telephones  and advanced  screen  phones which  provide  access to the
Internet.  Specifically,  the Company  recognized $1.8 million of expense in the
first nine months of 1997 related to the Company's equity in losses of InfoGear,
which is developing the software for the Company's initial Internet product. The
Company  expects  equity in losses of Infogear to continue at this level for the
remainder of 1997.  Research and  development  expenses as a percentage of sales
increased to 8 % in the quarter  ended  September 30, 1997 from 6.9% in the like
period of 1996 and to 6.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from 6.1%
in the like period of 1996.  The Company  expects that research and  development
spending will increase slightly during the remainder of 1997.

Selling and marketing expenses

Selling and marketing expenses represent  primarily  personnel costs,  telephone
and electronic data exchange  expenses,  promotional  costs and travel expenses.
Selling and  marketing  expenses  increased to $14 million in the quarter  ended
September  30, 1997 from $10.3  million in the  comparable  period of 1996. As a
percentage of sales,  selling and marketing  expenses  increased to 27.5% in the
quarter  ended  September 30, 1997 from 22.4% in the like period of 1996. In the
nine months ended September 30, 1997,  selling and marketing expenses were $50.5
million  or 27.1% of sales  versus  $28.5  million or 18.0% of sales in the same
period of 1996. These increases were due principally to the Company's  increased
promotion of intelligent network services and large format screen phones through
several direct mail,  direct response  television and  telemarketing  campaigns,
resulting in increased  advertising and telemarketing  agency costs. The Company
expects that selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of sales will remain
at these  higher  levels due to the  anticipated  continued  reliance  on direct
marketing activities during the remainder of 1997.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative  expenses represent primarily salaries,  benefits and
other expenses  associated with the finance and administrative  functions of the
Company.  General and  administrative  expenses increased to $2.5 million in the
quarter ended  September 30, 1997 from $1.8 million in the comparable  period of
1996. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses increased to
5% in the quarter ended September 30, 1997 from 4.0% in the comparable period of
1996.  These increases  reflect  increased legal,  human resources,  recruiting,
relocation and information systems costs. In the nine months ended September 30,
1997,  general and  administrative  expenses  were $7.8 million or 4.2% of sales
versus $5.6  million or 4% of sales in the same  period of 1996.  In addition to
the quarter  over  quarter  increases,  the third  quarter of 1997  year-to-date
numbers reflect a one-time charge on contractually  obligated  expenses incurred
as part of the  relinquishment of day-to-day duties of certain  executives which
occurred in the first  quarter of 1997.  The Company  believes  that general and
administrative  expenditures  will remain at approximately the same dollar level
during the fourth quarter of 1997 as during the third quarter of 1997.
<PAGE>

Provisions for income taxes

The  provisions  for income taxes in the quarters  ended  September 30, 1997 and
1996 reflect a rate of 40%. The  provisions  for income taxes in the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 reflect rates of 39% and 40%, respectively.

Liquidity and capital resources

The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term  investments increased $24.5
million  during the nine months ended  September 30, 1997  primarily due to cash
generated by operating  activities  of $39.3  million,  offset by the  Company's
repurchase of one million  shares of its Common Stock for an aggregate  purchase
price of $12.9  million and  acquisitions  of  property  and  equipment  of $2.9
million.  Cash generated by operations of $39.3 million resulted  primarily from
net income of $9.2  million,  decreases in accounts  receivable of $15.6 million
and  inventories  of $3.8  million and  increases  in  accounts  payable of $5.3
million and accrued liabilities of $3.4 million. The Company had working capital
of $111.2  million as of  September  30, 1997 as  compared to $110.5  million at
December 31, 1996.  The  Company's  current ratio was 4.5 to 1 both at September
30, 1997 and 5.6 to 1 at December 31, 1996. The Company believes that cash, cash
equivalents and short term  investments  will remain at  approximately  the same
levels for the remainder of 1997.

As of September 30, 1997,  the Company had a secured credit line of $25 million.
The  interest  rate on  borrowings  under the line is the bank's prime rate less
0.25%. The Company had not borrowed any funds under the line as of September 30,
1997.

Capital  expenditures in 1997 (which are budgeted to be approximately $3 million
during  the  remaining  three  months of 1997) are  expected  to be funded  from
working capital currently available. The Company believes its current cash, cash
equivalents,  short-term  investments  and  borrowing  capacity will satisfy the
Company's  working  capital and capital  expenditure  requirements  for the next
twelve months.

Factors That May Affect Future Results

A  substantial  majority of the Company's  sales are currently  derived from its
Agency Fulfillment and Standard Fulfillment programs for Caller ID and Caller ID
on Call Waiting products through RBOCs and Independent Telcos, both domestic and
international  (collectively,  "Telcos").  As a result,  the Company's sales and
operating results are  substantially  dependent on the extent of, and the timing
of, the Telcos'  determinations to implement and promote Caller ID and Caller ID
on Call Waiting services on a system wide or regional basis. The extent to which
the Telcos determine to implement and/or from time-to-time  promote these Caller
ID services may be affected by a wide variety of factors,  including  regulatory
approvals,   technical  requirements,   budgetary  constraints  at  the  Telcos,
consolidation  among  Telcos,  market  saturation  for Caller ID  services,  the
profitability of Caller ID services to the Telcos,  market acceptance for Caller
ID services and other factors. The Company typically has little control over any
of these  factors.  There can be no assurances  that the Telcos will continue to
implement and/or promote Caller ID services,  nor that the Company's product and
program  offerings  will be selected by the  Telcos.  Moreover,  there can be no
assurances that these services will gain widespread  market acceptance nor that,
in areas where the services are accepted, the markets will not become saturated,
with the result that the Telcos cease to promote the services in that area.
<PAGE>

The Company  operates  with little or no backlog and its  quarterly  results are
substantially dependent on Telcos' implementation and/or promotion of Caller ID,
Caller ID on Call Waiting, ADSI and other services (collectively, "Services') on
a system wide or regional  basis during each quarter.  The  Company's  operating
expenses are based on anticipated  sales levels,  and a high  percentage of such
expenses are relatively  fixed. As a result, to the extent that the Telcos delay
the implementation and/or promotion of these Services which were anticipated for
a  particular  quarter,  the  Company's  sales  and  operating  results  may  be
materially and adversely affected.

The  telecommunications  industry  is  subject  to rapid  technological  change,
changing customer requirements,  frequent new product introductions and changing
industry standards which may render existing products and services obsolete. The
Company's  future  success  will  depend in large part on its  ability to timely
develop and  introduce  new  products  and  services  which keep pace with,  and
correctly  anticipate,  these  changes  and  which  meet  new,  evolving  market
standards and changing customer requirements. There can be no assurance that the
Company's  existing  markets will not be eroded or that the Company will be able
to  correctly  anticipate  and/or  timely  develop and  introduce  products  and
services  which  meet the  requirements  of the  changing  marketplace  or which
achieve  market  acceptance.  If the Company is unable to develop and  introduce
products  and  services  which  timely  meet the  changing  requirements  of the
marketplace,  the Company's  operating  results may be materially  and adversely
affected.

The Company  has  experienced  in the past,  and may  experience  in the future,
significant  fluctuations in sales and operating results from quarter to quarter
as a result of a variety of factors,  including  the  foregoing  factors and the
following additional factors: the timing of significant orders for the Company's
products;  the  success of the  Company's  own  direct  marketing  programs,  in
particular,  deriving  adequate sales volumes and control of related costs;  the
addition or loss of distribution channels or outlets; changes in service charges
for  Services;  new product  introductions  by the  Company or its  competitors;
increases  in the cost of  acquiring  end-user  customers  for  Services and the
resulting  effects on  margins;  technical  difficulties  with  Telco  networks;
changes in the Company's  product mix or sales mix by distribution  channel that
may affect sales  prices,  margins or both;  future  expansion of the  Company's
marketing  and  services  operations;  technological  difficulties  and resource
constraints  encountered in developing,  testing and  introducing  new products;
uncertainties  involved in the  Company's  entry into markets for new  Services;
disruption in sources of supply,  manufacturing and product delivery; changes in
material costs;  regulatory changes;  general economic  conditions,  competitive
pressures, including reductions in average selling prices and resulting erosions
of margins; and other factors.

Because of these factors, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisons
of its  results  of  operations  are not  necessarily  meaningful  and that such
comparisons should not be relied upon as indications of future performance.  Due
to all of the foregoing  factors,  it is likely that in some future  quarter the
Company's  operating  results will be below the  expectations  of public  market
analysts and investors.  In such event,  the price of the Company's Common Stock
would likely be materially adversely affected.
