                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)

Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b)
of Regulation S-B.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting
of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  Operating results for the three-month period ending March 31,
2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended December 31, 2000.  For further information, refer to the financial
statements and footnotes included in our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the
year ended December 31, 1999 and its amendments.

Business

    ACT Teleconferencing, Inc is engaged in the business of providing high-
quality audio, data, video and Internet-based conferencing products and services
to business clients.  We operate in the United States, Canada, the United
Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Australia, and Hong Kong, and have sales
offices in Belgium and Germany.

Revenue Recognition

    Revenue is recognized upon completion of conferencing services or delivery
of equipment.

Use of Estimates

    The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inventories

    Video and audio equipment inventories are stated at the lower of cost or
market, on a first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Equipment is priced using
specific unit costs consisting of materials, labor, and related manufacturing
overhead, but exclusive of research and development, selling, and general and
administrative expenses, which are charged to operations as incurred.

Equipment and Depreciation

    Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line
basis over the estimated useful lives of five years for office furniture and
five or ten years for telecommunications equipment. Depreciation expense
includes capital lease amortization charges.

Goodwill

    Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over tangible assets
acquired less liabilities assumed arising from acquisitions and is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of fifteen (15)
years.

<PAGE>

Long-Lived Assets

    Long-Lived Assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate that the
carrying amount may not be recoverable. If such events are noted, the Company
estimates the future flows to be generated by those assets. In the event that
the sum of the cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the
assets would be written down to fair value, which is normally measured by
discounting the estimated future cash flows.

Foreign Currency Conversion

    The financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiaries have been
translated into United States dollars at the average exchange rate during the
year for the statement of operations and year-end rate for the balance sheet.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

    The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

    Net income (loss) per common share is computed based upon the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. In
February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128, Earnings per Share, which was adopted on December 31, 1997. Under the new
requirements for calculating basic and fully diluted earnings per share, the
dilutive effect of stock options and warrants has been included.

Reclassifications

    Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999 quarterly financial
statement presentation in order to conform to the 2000 presentation.

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

Introduction

    This quarterly report on Form 10-QSB contains certain forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements refer to
objectives, expectations, intentions, future events, or our future financial

Overview

    We achieved continued growth in teleconferencing revenues in all of our
operations worldwide as well as introducing new enhanced services in video,
data, and Internet conferencing.  In addition to satisfactory profit
improvements, our first quarter ending March 31, 2000 included the following
highlights:

  .  Revenues grew by 20% for the first quarter to March 31, 2000.

  .  Excluding the sale of video conferencing services and equipment, growth in
     our core audio conferencing services business was 38% for the first
     quarter.

  .  Operating efficiencies enabled us to improve gross margin from 45% to 50%.

  .  Operating income improved by 273%.

  .  Successful testing and development of a voice over Internet telephony
     conferencing product.

  .  The introduction of video and data streaming services outsourced to
     INTERVU.

  .  The acquisition of an Internet service provider in January 2000 to
     accelerate the introduction of Internet-based and data conferencing
     services over the Internet.

  .  Concert. On January 1, 2000, Concert became the vehicle for an
     international joint venture between AT&T and British Telecom. Our initial
     services to Concert involved the delivery of services for Concert's
     internal conferencing. We are now phasing into the delivery of services to
     Concert's customers. Revenues from the Concert agreement will depend on
     usage and pricing.

  .  GTE. In July 1999, GTE Corporation designated us as a major supplier of
     teleconferencing services to all subsidiaries and divisions of GTE, the
     only independent teleconferencing provider so designated by GTE. We sell
     and cooperatively market our services directly to GTE's customers in
     conjunction with GTE on large volume telecommunications bids. Revenues from
     GTE customers will depend on usage and pricing.

Components of Revenue and Expense

    Revenues.  We earn revenues from fees charged to clients for audio, video,
data and Internet-based teleconference bridging services, from charges for
enhanced services, and from rebilling certain long-distance telephone costs. We
also earn revenues from video equipment sales.

Cost of Sales.  Cost of sales consists of telephony costs, depreciation on our
teleconferencing bridges and telecommunications equipment, equipment product
costs, operator and operations management salaries and office expenses for
operations staff.

Selling, General, and Administration expense.  Selling, general, and
administration expense consist of salaries, benefits, and office expenses of our
selling and administrative organizations.

</TABLE>

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First quarter ending March 31, 2000, compared to first quarter ending March 31,
1999

    Net revenues.  Net revenues increased 20% to $8.2 million for the quarter
ending March 31, 2000, compared to $6.8 million for the same period in 1999,
primarily due to ongoing sales volume growth in our audio conferencing business,
which grew by 38%. Audio conferencing operations accounted for 94% of the total
revenue.

    Revenues from videoconferencing services declined by 16% due to the loss of
a customer as well as video bridging installation delays experienced in our
Dallas videoconferencing center as well as the lack of a full-featured video
bridging system in that location. In February 2000, we took the decision to
invest an additional $100,000 in video bridging equipment in Dallas to make our
service more feature-competitive and during April 2000 this decision began to
yield some initial success with improved revenues in video conferencing starting
to be achieved.

    Our data streaming operations, outsourced to INTERVU, have met with
immediate initial success and appear to have rapid growth prospects. Testing of
our Internet telephony conferencing services, although successful, are not yet
revenue-generating.


                                    Page 10
<PAGE>

    Gross Profit.  Gross profit increased by 35% to $4.1 million for the quarter
ending March 31, 2000, compared to $3.1 million for the quarter ending March 31,
1999.  Gross profit percentage improved to 50% of sales from 45% for the same
period last year, mainly due to improved efficiencies and higher traffic volumes
over a fixed cost base. Our audioconferencing product mix is shifting in favor
of increased automated and outsourced volumes, which yield improved margins and
higher efficiencies.

    Selling, general, and administrative costs.  Selling, general, and
administrative costs for the first quarter of 2000 were $3.3 million and
accounted for 40% of revenue, compared to $2.8 million or 51% of revenue for the
same period last year.  The 16% increase in such expenses resulted from an
ongoing increase in sales focus in the United States as well as ongoing
marketing efforts in the new international business units.

    Operating income (loss).  Operating income improved by 273% from $226,407 to
$845,501 due to volume efficiencies gained as well as a 35% improvement in gross
profits compared to the 16% increase in selling, general and administrative
costs.

    Net interest Expense. Net interest for the quarter ending March 31, 2000 was
$238,555 compared to $172,800 for the same period last year, a 38% increase.
This increase was due to the increase in interest bearing debt taken on in order
to finance our capital expansion and working capital requirements. This debt is
carried at various interest rates at a weighted average cost of approximately
12%.

    Net income before taxes and minority interest.  Net income before taxes and
minority interest improved by $553,339 to $606,946 for the first quarter of
2000, compared to $53,607 for the first quarter in 1999.  This improvement was
mainly due to revenue growth and operational efficiencies resulting in higher
gross profit margins as well as slower growth in selling, general, and
administrative costs.

    Taxes on income and minority interest. Taxes on income and minority interest
amounted to $419,021 for the first quarter of 2000, compared to $180,078 for the
first quarter of 1999, a 133% increase. This increase is due to an increased
contribution to consolidated net income by our 60% majority-owned United Kingdom
operation, which pays full tax.

    Net income.  Net income reported for the quarter ending March 31, 2000 was
$187,925, compared to a net loss of $126,471 for the quarter ending March 31,
1999. This improvement of $314,396 can be attributed to continued revenue
growth, improved operating efficiencies resulting in higher gross profit margins
and slower growth in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

    Earnings (loss) per common share. Earnings per share improved from a loss of
$0.03 per share during the first quarter in 1999, to earnings of $0.03 per share
for the first quarter in 2000. Earnings per share data are calculated based on
the weighted average number of fully-diluted of 5,971,935 shares. A quarterly
preferred dividend of $401,000 is deducted from net income in order to calculate
earnings per share.

Liquidity and capital resources (for the three months ending March 31, 2000)

    As of March 31, 2000, we had $874,150 in cash and cash equivalents. We plan
to continue to grow our business and will require additional cash to finance our
ongoing revenue growth, major capacity expansions and new product introductions.

    Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31,
2000 was $401,783. Net cash used in operating activities consisted primarily of
increases in accounts receivable and a reduction in accounts payable, partially
offset by increases in accrued expenses.

    Net cash used in investing activities consisted of additions to
telecommunications and bridging equipment as well as various acquisitions and
investments into software. Net cash used in investing activities was $820,650.

    Net cash provided by financing activities was $717,343 and was achieved via
a combination of additional common stock issued, and the utilization of various
lines of bank and supplier credit.

    We anticipate that our available funds are sufficient to meet our needs for
working capital and capital expenditures in the near term. We will need to raise
additional funds as, for example, we intend to pursue additional acquisitions,
undertake new product developments and expand capacity. If we raise additional
funds through the issuance of equity, or equity-related or debt securities,
these securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of
the rights or our common stock and our stockholders may experience additional
dilution. We cannot be certain that additional financing will be available to us
on favorable terms when required, or at all.
