                               TELTONE CORPORATION


                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

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



1.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     The Company's 1992 Employee Stock Option Plan (the "1992 Plan") has 800,000
     shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock
     options granted pursuant to the 1992 Plan.  Of this total, options to
     purchase  498,750 shares of common stock are outstanding, and 301,250
     shares remain available for grant.



2.   FEDERAL INCOME TAX

     The Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately
     $11,480,000 available to offset future taxable income through fiscal years
     2002 to 2009, as well as $290,000 and $752,000 in investment tax and
     research and development tax credits, respectively.  The Company has
     adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 Accounting
     for Income Taxes, and no tax asset has been recognized for the net
     operating loss carryforwards and tax credits due to the Company's loss
     history.  The Company recognized no income tax expense in fiscal 1996 or
     1995 due to an expected annual effective tax rate of zero.






     The unaudited Interim Financial Statements reflect all adjustments which
     are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the
     results for the interim periods presented.  The results of operations for
     the period ending March 31, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of
     operating results to be expected for the full year.  These interim
     condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the June
     30, 1995, financial statements.


                                                                               6

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




RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In the third quarter of fiscal 1996, net sales increased 8% over the same period
in the prior year.  This was the result of increased sales of end user products
which increased 110% over the same period in the prior year, offset by decreased
sales of semiconductor devices.  Gross margins decreased to 45% from 47% in the
prior year due to price erosion in the semiconductor products.  

Operating expenses decreased 4% over the same period in the prior year as a
result of timing of expenses associated with sales and marketing management
recruiting efforts.  Net income for the quarter was $119,168 or $.02 per share
which results in  year to date net income of $333,186 or $.05 per share.  This
is a 207% improvement over the same quarter in the prior year and a 14%
improvement in year to date earnings.

For the nine months ending March 31, 1996, net sales increased 8% over the same
period in the prior year, also as the result of increasing sales of end user
products.  Gross margins decreased to 45% from 46% also as a result of semi-
conductor price erosion.

At March 31, 1996, approximately $11,400,000 in net operating loss carryforwards
were available to offset future taxable income at varying amounts with
expiration from 2002 to 2009, as well as $290,000 and $752,000 in investment tax
and research and development tax credits, respectively.  

Although the Company has adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes," there is no tax asset recognized for the
net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits due to the Company's loss
history.  The Company recognized no income tax expense in fiscal 1996 or 1995
due to an expected annual effective tax rate of zero.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has a line of credit agreement for up to $1,500,000 depending upon
collateral levels, renewable in October 1996.  Management is currently
implementing a new international line of credit agreement backed by the EXIM
bank for up to $500,000 depending upon international collateral levels. These
agreements are collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory, and other
tangible and intangible assets and contain financial covenants including working
capital and debt ratios, as well as maximum loss provisions.  At March  31,
1996, borrowings under these lines of credit totaled $825,000.

The Company is in the process of introducing several new  products to the
marketplace.  As a result, the working capital requirements to support inventory
and accounts receivable have increased during the period ended March 31, 1996,
resulting in increased usage of the available line of credit.

Cash on hand, as well as the lines of credit should enable the Company to meet
its operating and working capital needs during the next twelve months.


                                                                               7

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

     Item 5 - Other Information

     Two new directors have been elected to the Board of Directors to replace
     Hubert Kertz, formerly of AT&T, and Milton Zeutschel, chairman of Zetron,
     Inc., who have resigned.  The new directors elected are Robert L. Bailey
     and Tracy S. Storer.  Mr. Bailey is president and CEO of PMC-Sierra of
     Vancouver, B.C., a supplier of advanced integrated circuits to the
     telecommunications markets.  He was previously a vice president at AT&T
     Microelectronics and had also been with Texas Instruments' Semiconductor
     Group.  Mr Storer is president of The Stanbridge Group, a technology
     business consulting firm.  He has also held management positions related to
     telecommunications equipment at Hewlett Packard, Telenova, and TRW Vidar.

     In response to the new network service offerings by telecommunications
     carriers, Teltone has now expanded its family of telephone line simulators
     to include the TLS-5C with SCWID (Spontaneous Call Waiting Identification),
     or Caller ID in Call Waiting, as well as several other advanced features. 
     This will enable telecom carriers to demonstrate new services without
     connecting to the network, and will aid manufacturers of products which
     take advantage of these new network services to both test and demonstrate
     their products.  This is the second simulator introduced this fiscal year. 
     The ILS-1000 ISDN Line Simulator was introduced in the second quarter and
     has contributed to the growth in sales for the period ending March 31,
     1996.

     Teltone has also introduced a new product engineered for the power utility
     substation environment.  The DS-100 Data Switch allows users to reduce
     their operating costs by communicating with up to eight intelligent
     electronic devices at the substation through a single serial data
     connection.  This, along with our new Cellular Interface Units tailored for
     the utility substations, provides a more complete solution for the utility
     marketplace moving us closer to our goal of being a leading supplier of
     telecommunications products to that market segment.
