ITEM 1.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)


                                TELTONE CORPORATION



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                    (Unaudited)



1.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     The Company has two active stock option plans.  The 1992 Employees Stock
     Option Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase up to 1,050,000
     common shares to key employees of the Company.  Of this total, options to
     purchase 905,000 shares of common stock are outstanding and 37,750 shares
     remain available for grant.   The Nonemployee Directors Stock Option Plan
     provides for the grant of options to purchase up to 320,000 common shares
     to outside directors of the Company.  Of this total, options to purchase
     200,000 shares of common stock are outstanding and 120,000 shares remain
     available for grant.  All options are granted at the fair market value of
     the stock on the date of grant and vest over a four-year period.  The
     maximum term of an option may not exceed six years.



2.   FEDERAL INCOME TAX

     At March 31, 1999, approximately $12,179,000 in net operating loss
     carryforwards were available to offset future taxable income and expire
     from 2000 through 2013.  If substantial changes in the Company's ownership
     should occur, there may be annual limitations on the utilization of such
     carryforwards.  The Company also has investment tax credit as well as
     research and development tax credit carryforwards of $290,000 and $753,000,
     respectively, available to offset future income tax liabilities through
     2000.  Of this amount, $860,000 expires (to the extent not utilized) at
     June 30, 1999.  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 and therefore uncertainty regarding
     future taxable income.



3.    NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

      In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, 
      "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." 
      SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way that public business 
      enterprises report information about operating segments in annual 
      financial statements and requires that those enterprises report 
      selected information about operating segments in interim financial 
      reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for 
      related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and 
      major customers. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS No. 131 as 
      of June 30, 1999. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this 
      statement will have on its financial statements; however, because the 
      statement requires only additional disclosure, the Company does not 
      expect the statement to have a material impact on its reported 
      financial position or results of operations.

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, 1999, 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, 1998, audited financial statements.

PART I.   FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

Statements in this report covering future performance, developments,
expectations or events, including the discussion of the Company's product
development and introduction plans, and resulting expectations for its growth,
constitute forward-looking statements which are subject to a number of known or
unknown risks and uncertainties that might cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed or implied by such statements.  All
forward-looking statements contained in this report reflect the Company's
expectations at the time of this report, and the Company disclaims any
responsibility to revise or update any such forward-looking statement except as
may be required by law.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The third fiscal quarter ending March  31, 1999, resulted in profits of $48,000
on sales of $2,543,000, compared to profits of $132,000 on sales of $2,417,000
for the same quarter of the prior year.  Net sales increased 5% over the third
quarter of fiscal year 1998 driven by the increasing market acceptance of the
Company's OfficeLink2000 telecommuting product.   Gross margins increased from
46% to 50% due to increasing sales of software-based products as well as
proprietary semiconductors. Third quarter operating expenses increased 28% over
the same quarter in the prior year as the Company continued to invest in the
growing markets for telecommuting and remote access which resulted in lower
profits.

For the nine months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, net sales were $7,637,000 and
$6,779,000, respectively.  Increased sales in all product areas contributed to
the overall increase in net sales of 13%.  These increases are due to growing
acceptance of OfficeLink2000, new applications for the Company's line sharing
products, and increasing sales of the Company's proprietary semiconductors.
Each of these areas had increased gross margins as well as increased sales,
which resulted in an improvement in the Company's overall gross margin  to 50%
from 44% in the prior year.  Operating expenses increased 12% over the first
nine months of the prior year.  This reflects a 20% decrease in engineering as
development projects were completed and an increase of 26% in sales, and general
and administrative expenses in support of the introduction of these new products
to the marketplace.  This resulted in a return to profitability in the current
year of $279,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1999, compared to a loss in
the same period of the prior year of $195,000.

At March 31, 1999, approximately $12,179,000 in net operating loss carryforwards
were available to offset future taxable income and expire from 2000 through
2013.  If substantial changes in the Company's ownership should occur, there may
be annual limitations on the utilization of such carryforwards.  The Company
also has investment tax credit as well as research and development tax credit
carryforwards of approximately $290,000 and $753,000, respectively, available to
offset future income tax liabilities through 2000.  Of this amount, $860,000
expires (to the extent not utilized) at June 30, 1999.  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 and therefore
uncertainty regarding future taxable income.

The Company has implemented a Year 2000 project to address potential problems
which may arise from the use of two digits rather than four to define the year
in some computer programs.  This is an issue which substantially all users of
automated data processing and information systems are faced.  Management has
completed its review of the Company's products and has determined them to be
Year 2000 ready.  The


                                       6
<PAGE>

evaluation and testing of the Company's internal systems is underway and
approximately 80% complete with a goal of completion by the end of fiscal 1999.
Management does not expect that the cost of its Year 2000 project will be
material to its financial condition or results of operations or that its
business will be adversely affected in any material respect.  Nevertheless,
becoming Year 2000 ready is dependent upon many factors, some of which are not
completely within the Company's control.  Should either the Company's internal
systems or the systems of one or more significant suppliers fail, the Company's
business and its results of operations could be adversely affected and, as a
result, a contingency plan is being prepared.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had $221,000 of cash on hand at March  31, 1999, and no borrowings
outstanding on its line of credit.

In August 1998 Richard Soshea, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, exercised
options to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock at $.51 per share, which
provided the Company with $204,000 in cash for use in its operations.

Management has renewed its lease agreement on its headquarters facility in
Bothell, Washington, through February 2004.  The lease renewal provides for the
elimination of excess square footage in the factory and resulted in lower rent
expense beginning February 1999.

The Company has a line of credit agreement for $1,500,000, renewable in July of
1999.  The agreement is collateralized by eligible accounts receivable,
inventory, and other tangible and intangible assets and contains financial
covenants including working capital and debt ratios, as well as maximum loss
provisions.

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