NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Teltronics, Inc. ("Teltronics" or "Company"), a Delaware corporation, designs, develops, manufactures and markets electronic hardware and application software products, and engages in contract manufacturing for the telecommunication industry. Through its majority owned subsidiary, Interactive Solutions, Inc. ("ISI") it has also engaged in the design and manufacturing of a small, Pentium® powered, multimedia computer and DiscoveryMATE™ panel link displays for the mobile computer industry.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and is comprised of its wholly-owned subsidiaries TTG Acquisition Corp. and TELTRONICS/SRX, Inc., and its 85% owned subsidiary Interactive Solutions, Inc. ("ISI"). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and on substantially the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results, and cash flows for those periods presented. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 1999, as presented in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS

Telident, Inc.

On May 18, 2000, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Telident, Inc., a Minnesota corporation ("Seller") located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Company acquired all of the Seller's rights to and in certain technology for the identification or location of emergency 911 telephone calls.

The Company delivered 662,500 shares of its $.001 par value voting common stock for substantially all of the assets of the Seller. Ten percent of the shares were placed in escrow for ninety days to cover any indemnity claims of the Company. Registration of the shares on Form S-4 was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission April 20, 2000.

The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and operations of the acquired business are included in the Company's results of operations and financial position subsequent to the date of acquisition. The pro forma operating results for 2000 assuming this acquisition had been consummated as of January 1, 2000, would not be materially different from reported operating results. The purchase price has been assigned to the net assets acquired based on management's estimate of the fair value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition as follows:

Cash $ 762,321 
Accounts receivable, net 610,998 
Inventory, net 260,757 
Prepaid expenses and other current assets 26,168 
Property and equipment, net 240,234 
Other assets 12,988 
Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets 430,261

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities (162,173)
Deferred Income (28,146)
Long-Term debt

(2,990)
Net assets acquired $
2,073,626 

The excess cost over fair value of the net assets acquired (goodwill) and identifiable intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis as follows:
Amount
Life
Customer List $ 129,079 5 years
Patent 129,079 14 years, 4 months
Goodwill 172,103 15 years

The estimates are preliminary, however, management believes that any adjustments to the amounts allocated will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Harris Corporation 20-20 Switching Product Line

On June 30, 2000, the Company acquired selected assets and technology of the Harris 20-20 switching product line, supply contracts worldwide, the ClearView™ call center product line, related software, and various patents and trademarks.

The Company delivered a $6,884,355 note with interest accruing at 10.5%. The repayment schedule is $3,442,178 of principal due August 14, 2000 and $3,442,177 of principal and accrued interest due on September 29, 2000. The note is secured by a first lien on the assets acquired and a lien on the Company's other assets subject to liens previously granted by the Company to its other lenders. After August 14, 2000, the interest rate increases to 12.5%. The Company is seeking equity investment or debt to finance payment of the note and working capital needs for the business. Also, the Company expects to renegotiate the terms of the note payable.

The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and results of operations of the acquired net assets are included in the Company's results of operations and financial position subsequent to the date of acquisition. The purchase price has been assigned to the net assets acquired based on management's estimate of the fair value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition as follows:

Inventory, net $ 5,452,142 
Property and equipment, net 2,130,507 
Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets 377,499 
Note payable (6,884,355)
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities

(1,075,793)
     Net assets acquired $

Operating results for this product line are not available at this time and its proforma results are not presented. The excess cost over fair value of the net assets acquired (goodwill) and identifiable intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis as follows:



Amount
Life
Customer List $ 113,250 5 years
Patent and trade secrets on Cumulus call center
     software

113,250

10 years

In addition, the Company paid $57,500 at closing and issued a non-interest bearing note for $47,913 that was repaid in June, 1999.

The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and results of operations of Cascade are included from the date of acquisition.

Inventory $ 100,000 
Property and equipment 71,000 
Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets 116,278 
Notes payable

(47,913)
Net assets acquired $
239,365 


The pro forma operating results for 1999 assuming this acquisition had been consummated as of January 1, 1999, would not be materially different from reported operating results. The excess cost over fair value of the net assets acquired (goodwill) and identifiable intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis as follows:

Amount
Life
Customer List $ 35,000 5 years
Patent 35,000 14 years, 7 months
Goodwill 46,278 15 years

NOTE 3 - DISPOSITIONS

On April 23, 1998, the Company sold the customer list and maintenance and support agreements for the ORBi-TEL for Windows and non-Unix call accounting product lines to MDR Telemanagement Limited.

The Company recognized a gain of $100,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 1998 and $111,614 during the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

NOTE 4 - NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), adjusted for preferred stock dividends, by the weighted average number of issued common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), adjusted for preferred stock dividends, by the weighted average number of issued common shares, adjusted for potential common shares. Potential common shares consist of convertible preferred stock, stock options (vested and unvested) and warrants and are computed using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares for 2000 were anti-dilutive and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share. Common equivalent shares for 1999 relating to Preferred Series B Convertible Stock were anti-dilutive and were not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share.

NOTE 7 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the Company has the authority to issue is 50,000,000 shares divided into three classes of which 5,000,000 shares, par value $.001 per share are designated Preferred stock, 40,000,000 shares, par value $.001 per share are designated Common stock and 5,000,000 shares, par value $.001 per share, are designated Non-Voting Common stock.

(A)      Preferred Stock - On February 25, 1998, the Company issued 25,000 shares of Preferred Series B Convertible Stock for $2,500,000. The Preferred Series B Convertible Stock provides for a $12 per share annual dividend, payable quarterly starting May 15, 1998. The dividend increases to $20 after four years. Fees paid in connection with this Preferred Stock totaled $12,500. The holder of the Preferred Series B Convertible Stock has the right at its option to convert to the Company's Common Stock at $2.75 per share. The Preferred Series B Convertible Stock cannot be called for two years and after two years, only if the twenty-day average bid price of the Company's common stock exceeds $5.50 per share. After four years, the Company has the right to redeem the Preferred Series B Convertible Stock in full at 100% of the face value plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Preferred Series B Convertible Stock contains certain financial covenants.

(B)      Warrants - On February 25, 1998, the Company issued 890,000 warrants to purchase the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share. These warrants are exercisable in whole, or in part, at any time during a five year period beginning on the date of issuance. The fair value of the warrants was recorded as deferred financing costs and totaled $569,600. This amount is being amortized to financing expense over the life of the Subordinated Secured Debentures and Senior Secured Loans.

(C)      1995 Incentive Stock Option Plan - On May 25, 2000, the Board of Directors authorized an increase in the number of common shares available for issuance for the Incentive Stock Option Plan from 1,250,000 to 2,500,000 shares. The increase will be submitted to shareholders for ratification at a later date.

(D)      Employee Stock Purchase Plan - On May 25, 2000, the Board of Directors authorized an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, under which the employees of the Company are provided the opportunity to acquire common shares of the Company at 85% of fair market value. The Board of Directors has authorized 200,000 common shares to be available for issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The proposed plan will be submitted to shareholders for ratification at a later date.

NOTE 8 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company's operations are classified into two reportable segments, Teltronics and ISI. Each reportable segment is staffed separately, requires different technology and marketing strategies and sells to different customers.

The accounting policies of the Segments are the same. Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at Teltronics' cost plus a normal margin for electronic manufacturing. Company management evaluates performance based on segment profit, which is net income (loss) before taxes, excluding nonrecurring gains or losses.

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

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

A number of statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements which are made pursuant to the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including the timely development and market acceptance of products and technologies, competitive market conditions, successful integration of acquisitions, the ability to secure additional sources of financing, the ability to reduce operating expenses, the ability to maintain adequate liquidity, the ability to comply with the rules for inclusion in the Nasdaq Stock Market and other factors described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The actual results that the Company achieves may differ materially from any forward-looking statements due to such risks and uncertainties.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company experienced a disappointing first six months. Sales were $13,997,000 as compared to $14,679,000 for 1999. The Company reported a net loss of $2,843,000 as compared to net income of $408,000 for 1999. The Company believes that this performance is temporary. All of the Company's major distributors, in particular, on the ISM products have had very slow sales in 2000. Since our major customers sold less PBXs, they reduced purchases of our products. Many customers invested in new products last year for Y2K and have reduced purchases for the first six months of this year. We expect the second half of the year will improve. This is also true of our Vision and 911 products and services.

During the second quarter of 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of product lines and related technologies from two companies. The first, Telident, has now been fully integrated within the Teltronics organization. This has reduced Telident's operating and general and administration expenses and improved profitability.

The Company closed the acquisition of certain products and technology of the Harris 20-20 switching business as of June 30, 2000, and this acquisition is reflected in the balance sheet. The Company is aggressively moving the inventory it purchased to Sarasota and intends to commence manufacturing of the 20-20 product as soon as practical. The Company also has employed approximately 65 people from Harris related to this product line. These personnel are located in Novato, California, Salt Lake City, Utah, Atlanta, Georgia and Whitestone, New York. Harris originally out-sourced all of its manufacturing. One of the potential synergies is the ability for Teltronics to manufacture the products, thus increasing the gross margin of the product. The Company has a backlog of orders of approximately $3,000,000 as of August 8, 2000.

The Company believes that this acquisition should significantly increase the business of Teltronics starting in the fourth quarter of 2000. It is anticipated that the majority of the backlog should be deliverable during the next nine months. The 20-20 switch has been installed in many installations both in America and around the world. There are over 20,000 20-20 switches installed in 68 different countries. The Company is actively pursuing the distribution channel that had already been established in Latin America, Mexico, Europe, Middle East, Far East and Africa. The Company intends to continue to manufacture and develop the 20-20 and sell predominately through the distribution channels already established. The majority of these distributors have been selling, installing and maintaining these products for many years.

The repayment schedule is $3,442,178 of principal due August 14, 2000 and $3,442,177 of principal and accrued interest due on September 29, 2000. The note is secured by a first lien on the assets acquired and a lien on the Company's other assets subject to liens previously granted by the Company to its other lenders.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company is a party to litigation, which arises, in the normal course of business. There is no litigation pending, or to the Company's knowledge, threatened that, if determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect upon the business or financial condition of the Company.

In August, 1999, a former employee commenced an action against Teltronics in the Circuit Court, Twelfth Judicial Circuit, Sarasota County, Florida seeking damages for alleged violations of the Florida Worker's Compensation Law and the Family and Medical Leave Act. An answer with affirmative defenses was served and the action will be vigorously defended.

In September, 1999, Teltronics and its subsidiary, ISI, were served with a counterclaim in connection with litigation commenced in July, 1998, by Teltronics and ISI in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against two former employees and entities they control. Teltronics' and ISI's complaint sought damages and equitable relief against the defendants for breach of fiduciary duties and contract obligations; fraud; conversion; theft of trade secrets; interference with contracts and business relations; and violations of federal and state anti-fraud statutes. The counterclaim sought damages in excess of $3,000,000 for alleged interference with contracts, breach of employment contracts and trade slander. During the trial in May, 2000, certain claims of Teltronics and ISI against the defendants and the counterclaims made by the defendants against Teltronics and ISI were withdrawn. After trial of the remaining claims of Teltronics and ISI against the defendants, the jury rendered a verdict that awarded Teltronics and ISI approximately $16 million from the defendants. In July, 2000, the Court stayed enforcement of the jury verdict pending consideration by the Court of a motion by the defendants for a new trial. There can be no assurance that Teltronics and ISI will be successful in collecting any damages that may be awarded to them.

In May, 2000, the Company was named in an action commenced in the Circuit Court for the County of St. Clair, Michigan by two former shareholders of Cascade Technology Corporation ("Cascade") seeking release of 52,117 shares of the Company's common stock held in escrow ("Escrow Stock") and damages, interest and attorneys fees. The Escrow Stock was issued in February, 1999 and placed in escrow to secure indemnification rights of the Company under its purchase of certain rights and technology from one of the former shareholders of Cascade. The Company served an Answer with affirmative defenses and a counterclaim seeking delivery of the Escrow Stock to the Company.
