5.   Merger with MediaTel

     On April 14, 1999, the Company merged with MediaTel Corporation in a tax-
free, stock for stock transaction valued at approximately $48 million.  Each
share of MediaTel was converted into 0.125 share of AVT common stock, with AVT
issuing approximately 1.6 million shares and assuming MediaTel stock options
convertible into approximately 0.3 million AVT stock options.  The combination
was accounted for as a pooling of interests and all prior period amounts have
been restated to reflect this transaction.

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



  The Company is a leading provider of software-based computer-telephony
solutions for medium-sized enterprises. These solutions are designed to enhance
individual and work group productivity, improve customer service, reduce
business operating costs and simplify access to data and dissemination of
information. The Company's products provide enhanced voice and data integration
through applications such as unified voice and data messaging, call center
management, interactive voice response (IVR) and document distribution. The
Company's key products are multi-application computer-telephony platforms that
run on off-the-shelf hardware, support Windows NT and OS/2, and interface with a
wide variety of telephony and computer equipment. The Company also offers add-on
modules and software upgrades that provide increased capacity and functionality.

  The Company sells its products primarily through an indirect channel of
resellers and distributors, as well as through direct sales and OEM and private
label agreements. The Company's product lines serve the needs of two areas of
the computer telephony market - the telephony oriented buyer and the document
solutions buyer of enterprise software, systems and services.  The Company's
telephony-oriented products include:  CallXpress for Windows NT and CallXpress3,
the Company's premier multi-application, high capacity computer-telephony
product lines; PhoneXpress, a full-featured voice messaging system for small to
medium-sized enterprises; AgentXpress for Windows NT, a high-performance Windows
NT-based automated call center (ACD) system for medium-sized call centers; the
recently released Automated Agent for Windows NT, an IVR capability for
CallXpress for Windows NT; and Enhanced Agent, a set of interfaces and
applications designed to extend the capabilities of AgentXpress.  The Company's
document solutions products include RightFAX and RightFAX Enterprise, the
Company's LAN-based fax server lines for Windows NT, CommercePath's line of
production document delivery systems for Windows NT and Unix and the MediaLinq
electronic document delivery services.

  On April 14, 1999, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
April 13, 1999, by and among the Company, MediaTel Corporation ("MediaTel"), and
Goldengate Acquisition Corp. ("MediaTel Merger Sub"), the Company acquired all
of the outstanding capital stock of MediaTel and MediaTel Merger Sub merged with
and into MediaTel, with MediaTel as the surviving corporation.  MediaTel
provides out-sourced electronic document delivery services to businesses which
frequently send business-critical information to other businesses.  The Company
issued 1,609,596 shares of common stock (10% of which was deposited into an
escrow account) and assumed all outstanding options in connection with the
acquisition of MediaTel.

Results of Operations

  Net sales.  Net sales increased 28.4% to $31,864,000 in the quarter ended
June 30, 1999, from $24,809,000 in the comparable 1998 quarter.  This growth was
influenced by document solutions  sales which increased 31.6% from the
comparable prior-year quarter and represented 67.8% of net

                                       9
<PAGE>

sales, and advanced messaging and installed base upgrade sales in our computer
telephony group (CTG) which increased 31.9% and represented 32.2% of total net
sales. Sales of low margin basic messaging CTG product lines decreased 12.7%
when compared to the same quarter in 1998. The Company expects sales of the
lower-margin basic messaging products to continue to be affected by price
pressures from competitive offerings and decline as a percentage of total sales
in the future. International sales for the second quarter of 1999 increased 38%
compared to the second quarter of 1998, and represented 18.1% of total net
sales.

   For the six months ended June 30, 1999, net sales increased 28.8% to
$60,707,000 from $47,122,000 in the comparable prior-year period due to the
higher sales of document solutions products and services which increased 31.1%,
and represented 67.2% of total net sales.  International sales increased 48.7%
from the comparable prior-year period and represented 18.3% of total net sales.

   Gross profit.  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales improved to 64.5% in
the quarter ended June 30, 1999, as compared to 61.9% in the comparable prior-
year quarter, due to the continued sales mix shift toward the higher margin
document solutions products and services, and NT-based computer-telephony
product lines.

   For the six months ended June 30, 1999, gross profit as a percentage of sales
increased to 64.6% from 61.9% in the comparable prior-year period.

   Research and development. Research and development expenses increased
slightly to $2,357,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1999 from $2,334,000 in the
comparable prior-year period. As a percentage of sales, research and development
expenses for the current quarter declined to 7.4% compared with 9.4% of net
sales in the comparable prior-year quarter.

   For the six months ended June 30, 1999, research and development expenses
increased to $4,978,000 from $4,673,000 in the comparable prior-year period.  As
a percentage of net sales, research and development expenses represented 8.2%
for the six months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to 9.9% in the comparable
prior-year period.

   Sales, general and administrative.  Sales, general and administrative
expenses increased to $11,073,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1999 from
$8,397,000 in the comparable prior-year quarter, due primarily to increased
marketing and personnel-related costs of developing domestic and international
distribution for both the CTG and document solutions channels. Sales, general
and administrative costs for the current quarter represented 34.8% of net sales,
an increase from 33.8% in the comparable prior-year quarter.

   For the six months ended June 30, 1999, sales, general and administrative
expenses increased to $21,350,000 from $16,009,000 in the comparable prior-year
period.  As a percentage, sales, general and administrative expenses were 35.1%
and 34% of net sales for the six-month periods ending June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

   Operating income. Excluding the non-recurring charge, operating income for
the quarter ended June 30, 1999 increased to $7,112,000, or 22.3% of net sales,
from $4,636,000, or 18.7% of net sales, in the comparable prior-year quarter. In
the second quarter of 1999, the Company wrote off costs of $2,388,000 related to
the merger with MediaTel in April, 1999. The Company expects that the majority
of these expenses will not be deductible for tax purposes.

   In the first quarter of 1998, the Company wrote off costs of $287,000 related
to the withdrawal in February of the follow-on stock offering originally filed
in October 1997. Excluding these nonrecurring charges, the Company's operating
income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $12,883,000 or 21.2% of net
sales, an increase of 52.0% as compared to operating income of $8,475,000 in the
comparable prior-year period.

   Other income, net.  Net other income was $384,000 in the quarter ended June
30, 1999, as compared to $346,000 in the comparable prior-year quarter due to
increased interest income on investments.

   For the six months ended June 30, 1999, net other income increased to
$811,000 from $600,000 in the comparable prior-year period.

                                       10
<PAGE>

   Income tax expense.  The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30,
1999 and 1998 was 53.1% and 36.6% respectively, with income tax expense of
$2,710,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 and  $1,823,000 in the comparable
prior-year quarter. The tax expense for the second quarter of 1999 reflects the
expected non-deductibility of the $2,388,000 in merger-related costs associated
with the merger with Mediatel in April 1999.

   The income tax expense for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998
was $4,966,000 and $3,224,000 repectively.

   Net income.  The Company recognized net income of $2,398,000 or $0.15 per
diluted common share for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, as compared to
$3,159,000 or $0.21 per diluted common share for the comparable prior-year
quarter.

   Due to the 1998 first quarter and 1999 second quarter non-recurring charges
discussed above, the Company recognized net income for the six months ended June
30, 1999 of $6,340,000 compared to $5,564,000 in the comparable 1998 period.
Excluding these non-recurring charges, net income for the first six months of
1999 would have been $8,728,000 or $0.56 per diluted common share as compared
with $5,748,000, or $0.38 per diluted common share, in the comparable prior-year
period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 1999
was $13.7 million due primarily to continuing profitable operations.  The
average accounts receivable collection period was 56 days.  Inventories
decreased to $5.2 million at June 30, 1999 from $5.6 million at December 31,
1998.

   The Company expects that its current cash, cash flow from operations, and
available bank line of credit will provide sufficient working capital for
operations for the foreseeable future.

Impact of the Year 2000 Issue

   The "Year 2000 Issue" is pervasive and complex as virtually every computer
operation will be affected in some way by the rollover of the two-digit year
value to 00.  Systems that do not properly recognize date sensitive information
when the year changes to 2000, or interact with systems or components that fail
to do so, could generate erroneous data or otherwise fail to function properly,
or at all.  There is speculation that a significant amount of litigation will
arise out of Year 2000 compliance issues, and the Company is aware of a growing
number of lawsuits against other software vendors.  Because of the unprecedented
nature of such litigation, it is uncertain whether or to what extent the Company
may be affected by it.

   The Company has developed a plan to ensure its internal systems and products
are Year 2000 compliant, and to mitigate its risks in the event that its vendors
or other third-parties with whom it has material relationships are not Year 2000
compliant on a timely basis.  The Company has potential exposure relating to the
Year 2000 issue in four areas:  (1) the Company's internal software and hardware
systems, including non-information technology systems; (2) suppliers of hardware
and software the Company resells as part of its products; (3) internally
developed software the Company sells; and (4) other third-parties with whom the
Company has material relationships. The following information explains how the
Company is addressing each of these potential risk areas:

     1.   With respect to internal software and hardware systems, the Company
          reviewed all its material systems to determine which systems were not
          Year 2000 compliant. The Company is currently in the process of
          completing all necessary upgrades, modifications and conversions to
          its programs and equipment to ensure they will continue to be
          effective in the year 2000, and has substantially completed this

                                       11
<PAGE>

          process. All of such upgrades have been or are being done as part of a
          normal upgrade cycle and accordingly no additional costs are being
          incurred as a result of Year 2000 issues. The Company expects that the
          only expense it will incur to make its internal software and hardware
          systems Year 2000 compliant is approximately $5,000 to update an alarm
          system.

     2.   The Company has tested and will continue to test computer components,
          including fax and voice cards and software it purchases from third
          parties, for Year 2000 compliance. The Company has verified that all
          such components and software currently in use are Year 2000 complaint.
          The Company, however, has identified alternate sources for critical
          components in the event that a supplier's business is disrupted by the
          advent of the year 2000.

     3.   Since June 1998, all of the Company's products available for sale to
          customers have been Year 2000 compliant. The Company has offered free
          or reduced cost upgrades to certain purchasers of the Company's
          products that were not Year 2000 compliant when sold. The cost of
          developing and providing such upgrades was approximately $100,000. The
          Company does not intend to offer upgrades for certain of its older
          products.

     4.   The Company has implemented a process to contact third parties with
          which it has material relationships, including its vendors,
          distributors, banks, and transfer agent, to attempt to determine their
          preparedness with respect to Year 2000 issues and to analyze the risks
          to the Company in the event any such third parties experience
          significant business interruptions as a result of Year 2000
          noncompliance. The Company had substantially completed this review.

   The Company believes that it is taking the necessary steps regarding Year
2000 compliance with respect to matters within its control to ensure that the
Year 2000 issue will not materially impact the Company.  However, the Company
may be materially adversely affected if important distributors or customers of
the Company experience significant disruptions in their systems or business due
to the advent of the Year 2000.  In addition, the costs of the Year 2000 project
and the date on which the Company plans to complete Year 2000 modifications are
based on management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous
assumptions of future events including the continued availability of certain
resources, third party modification plans and other factors.  There can be no
guarantee that these assumptions will prove to be correct and actual results
could differ materially from those expected.  The Company intends to complete a
contingency plan to address unexpected Year 2000 issues in the third quarter of
1999.


Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

   The Company is exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates
and foreign currency exchange rates, each of which could adversely affect the
value of the Company's investments. The Company does not currently use
derivative financial instruments.

   The Company maintains a short-term investment portfolio consisting of
interest bearing securities with an average maturity of less than one year.
These securities are classified as "available for sale" securities. The interest
bearing securities are subject to interest rate risk and will fall in value if
market interest rates increase. If market interest rates were to increase
immediately and uniformly by 10% from levels at June 30, 1999, the fair value of
the portfolio would decline by an immaterial amount. Because the Company has the
ability to hold its fixed income investments until maturity, it does not expect
its operating results or cash flows to be

                                       12
<PAGE>

affected to any significant degree by a sudden change in market interest rates
on its securities portfolio.

  The Company has assets and liabilities denominated in certain foreign
currencies related to the Company's international sales operations. The Company
has not hedged its translation risk on these currencies as the Company has the
ability to hold its foreign-currency denominated assets indefinitely and does
not expect that a sudden or significant change in foreign exchange rates would
have a material impact on future net income or cash flows.

Item 2.   Changes in Securities

          On April 14, 1999, the Company acquired MediaTel Corporation pursuant
          to an agreement and plan of merger among the Company, MediaTel and
          Goldengate Acqusition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
          The shareholders of MediaTel received an aggregate of approximately
          1.6 million shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for all
          of the outstanding capital stock of MediaTel. In addition, the Company
