                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Applied Voice Technology, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of American International
Facsimile Products, Inc. as of January 31, 1997, and the related statements of
income, shareholder's equity and cash flows for the year then ended.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of American International
Facsimile Products, Inc. as of January 31, 1997, and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                         -----------------------------

                          YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31, 1997
                          ---------------------------

1.  NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
    ------------------------------------------------------------------

Nature of Business
- ------------------

American International Facsimile Products, Inc. (the Company), an Oregon
corporation, is a developer of high-performance, high-volume, enterprise-wide
solutions for electric commerce communication, including the business critical
delivery, receipt, conversion and transformation of fax, e-mail, Internet, EDI
and other types of information.  These bundled hardware and software solutions
are installed in commercial customer sites in many industries, primarily in the
United States.  As of January 31, 1997, the Company was a wholly owned
subsidiary of Forest City Trading Group, Inc. (Parent Company).  Effective
October 22, 1997, the Company was purchased by Applied Voice Technology, Inc.
(See Note 5).

Basis of Presentation
- ---------------------

The preparation of the Company's financial statements, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets 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
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inventories
- -----------

Inventories consist primarily of computer assemblies, components and related
equipment, and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market
(net realizable value).  Inventory consists of the following:

<TABLE>

</TABLE>

Equipment and Leasehold Improvements
- ------------------------------------

Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost and are depreciated on
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which
range from three to seven years.  Equipment and leasehold improvements consist
of the following:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                       <C>

</TABLE>

Bank Overdraft
- --------------

The bank overdraft is a result of the Company's cash management program through
the parent company, whereby any excess cash is transferred to the parent
company's bank accounts, and represents checks issued but not yet presented to
the bank for payment.

Revenue Recognition
- -------------------

Revenues from sales to customers are recognized when the products are shipped.
When the Company has an installation obligation, revenues are recognized when
product installation is complete.  Revenues from extended warranty agreements
and post-contract customer support are recognized over the lives of the related
service contracts on the straight-line method.

Concentration of Credit Risk
- ----------------------------

The Company achieves broad U.S. market coverage for its products.  For the year
ended January 31, 1997, no customer represented 10% or greater of the Company's
sales.  The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers'
financial condition and, generally, no collateral is required.

Research and Development Costs
- ------------------------------

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.  The Company has not
capitalized any software development costs, as technological feasibility is not
generally established until substantially all development is complete.

2.  INCOME TAXES:
    -------------

The Company has been included in the consolidated federal and state income tax
returns filed by its Parent Company.  The Parent Company generally allocates the
consolidated income tax provision to subsidiaries on a separate return basis.
Current federal and state income taxes payable, net of prepayments are included
in the amount due to the Parent Company.  Amounts due to the Parent Company for
income taxes, at January 31, 1997 were approximately $277,000.

Income taxes are provided for in the statements of income using the asset and
liability method.

The following is a reconciliation from the U.S. statutory rate to the effective
tax rate:
