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 1,400,000
    common shares to key employees of the Company, of which 350,000 shares are
    subject to shareholder approval at the November 4, 1999, regularly scheduled
    shareholders' meeting. Of this total, options to purchase 834,500 shares of
    common stock are outstanding and 371,750 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 September 30, 1999, approximately $12,222,000 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 $183,000 available to
    offset future income tax liabilities through 2000. 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.   NET INCOME PER SHARE

     Basic net income per common share is based on the weighted average number
     of common shares and convertible preferred shares outstanding during the
     year. Common equivalent shares, including warrants and stock options, are
     included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common and common
     equivalent shares to the extent that they are dilutive and are excluded to
     the extent they are antidilutive. During the year ended June 30, 1998, the
     Company had stock options and warrants which were not included in the
     computation of net loss per share because the impact would have been
     antidilutive.

     A reconciliation of the number of average common shares outstanding to the
     number of average common and common equivalent shares outstanding is as
     follows:

         Average common shares (including preferred) outstanding               7,112,712         6,930,410
         Dilutive effect of warrants and stock options                             3,442            61,942
                                                                            ------------     -------------

         Average common and common equivalent shares outstanding               7,597,033         7,192,352

The unaudited Interim Financial Statements reflect all adjustments which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results
for the interim periods. The results of operations for the period ending
September 30, 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, 1999, audited financial statements
filed on form 10-KSB.

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.

First quarter profits were $8,000 on sales of $2,671,000, compared to profits of
$110,000 on sales of $2,632,000 for the first quarter of 1999. Net sales were
flat in total but included increasing sales of Remote Voice products offset by
expected decreases in the Company's semi-conductor and equipment sales. Gross
margins increased from 49% to 53% due to increasing sales of software-based
products both in the Remote Voice products as well as in the Test and
Demonstration tools.

First quarter operating expenses increased 19% over the same quarter in the
prior year as a result of increasing investment in the Remote Voice product
offering. This investment was made both in Engineering and in Sales & Marketing
which resulted in an increase in the total number of employees to 72 from 64 at
June 30, 1999.

At September 30, 1999, approximately $12,222,000 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 had investment tax credit as well as research and development
tax credit carryforwards of approximately $183,000 available to offset future
income tax liabilities through 2000. 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 there is uncertainty
regarding future taxable income.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has a line of credit agreement for $1,500,000, renewable in July
2000. 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. As of September 30, 1999, there were no borrowings outstanding under
this line. The Company had cash on hand at September 30, 1999, of $584,000.


During the first fiscal quarter of 2000 options to purchase 86,500 shares of
common stock were exercised at $.33 per share, which provided the Company with
$29,000 in cash for use in its operations.

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

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION continued


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 face. Management has completed
its review of the Company's products and has determined them to be Year 2000
ready. In addition, Management has completed the evaluation and testing of the
Company's internal systems and is in the process of making the necessary
adjustments to become Year 2000 ready. 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 in place which includes the
purchase of certain safety stock of inventory should production delays be
experienced.
