                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               (Unaudited)


1.    Interim Financial Statements

      The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  of  Applied  Voice
Technology, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) are unaudited. In the opinion of
the Company's  management,  the financial  statements  include all  adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring  adjustments,  necessary to state fairly the
financial information set forth therein. Results of operations for the six month
period ended June 30, 1997, are not necessarily  indicative of future  financial
results.

      Certain notes and other  information  have been  condensed or omitted from
the interim  financial  statements  presented in this  quarterly  report on Form
10-Q. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.


2.    Short-Term Investments

      In accordance  with FAS 115, the Company has classified its investments as
"available-for-sale" and recorded these investments at estimated fair value with
unrealized  gains and losses reported as a separate  component of  Shareholders'
Equity.

      Interest  income is recorded using an effective  interest  rate,  with the
associated premium or discount amortized to interest income over the term of the
investment.   The  cost  of   securities   sold  is  based  upon  the   specific
identification  method.  Available-for-sale  securities  as  of  June  30,  1997
consisted  of  municipal  notes  and bonds  whose  amortized  cost  approximates
estimated fair value. The average maturity for these investments is four months.


3.    Inventories

      Inventories consisted of the following:

                                        June 30,      December 31,

4.    Business Acquired

      On January 3, 1997, the Company  acquired  selected assets and liabilities
of  Telcom  Technologies,   Inc.,  a  developer  of  NT-based  open-architecture
automatic  call  distribution   (ACD)  systems.   The  purchase  price  for  the
acquisition was $3.5 million in cash,  plus warrants to purchase  100,000 shares
of the  Company's  common stock  exercisable  at $13.36 per share,  which may be
exercised at any time prior to January 3, 2002.  The Company  accounted  for the
business  combination as a purchase and recognized a nonrecurring charge of $3.9
million in the first quarter of 1997,  representing  the value of the purchased,
in-process research and development acquired.

      On January 2, 1996, the Company acquired  Cracchiolo & Feder,  Inc. (d/b/a
RightFAX),  a privately  held  developer  of fax server  software for local area
networks,  through a merger of RightFAX  into a wholly owned  subsidiary  of the
Company.  The purchase  price for the  acquisition  paid at the closing was $4.2
million in cash plus 163,000 shares of the Company's  common stock. In addition,
the Company paid  consideration of $1.4 million in cash and 95,000 shares of the
Company's  common  stock in 1997,  relating to the 1996 earn out and  guaranteed
value of the Company's  common  stock.  As a result of the earn out, the Company
recorded an additional $2.0 million of goodwill at December 31, 1996. The former
shareholders  of  RightFAX  will  be  further  entitled  to  receive  additional
consideration  worth $1.8  million in a  combination  of cash and the  Company's
common stock over the next two years, if certain revenue and profit margin goals
are achieved by RightFAX.


5.    New Accounting Pronouncements


      In  February  1997,  the  Financial   Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 128,  Earnings Per Share (SFAS
128), and No. 129, Disclosure of Information About Capital Structure (SFAS 129),
which are  effective for periods  beginning  after  December 15, 1997.  SFAS 128
establishes new standards for computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS).
Companies  will now report  basic EPS and  diluted  EPS  compared to primary and
fully diluted EPS, which were previously reported.  Under the new standard,  the
Company's  basic EPS for the  quarter  ended June 30,  1997,  was net income per
share of $0.32.  For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the basic EPS was $0.10
per share.  For both  periods,  the diluted EPS is  equivalent  to the  reported
primary  EPS.  SFAS 129  requires  companies  to  disclose  in  their  financial
statements  details of their  capital  structure and EPS  calculations,  both of
which  are  currently  disclosed  in  exhibits  to the  Company's  10-K and 10-Q
filings.

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


      Founded in 1982, the Company develops, manufactures,  markets and supports
a broad line of open systems-based software products and systems for the rapidly
growing  computer  telephony  integration  (CTI) market.  CTI encompasses a wide
range of products  that allow two of the most  essential  business  instruments,
telephones and personal computers (PCs), to work together. Some CTI products let
people access and control  telephone  functions  through a PC; others let people
access and control computer  functions  through a telephone.  The CTI market has
emerged from the  convergence of these two powerful and useful tools each with a
different technological origin and marketing orientation.
      The Company has  implemented  a  dual-pronged  strategy to address the CTI
market   -   developing   telephony-oriented   products   marketed   through   a
telephony-oriented  distribution channel and computer-oriented products marketed
through a computer-oriented  channel. The  telephony-oriented  products are: the
recently-released CallXpressNT, the Company's premier,  multi-application,  high
capacity CTI product;  CallXpress3,  a  high-performance  multi-application  CTI
platform;  AgentXpressNT,  a  call  center  management  system;  PhoneXpress,  a
full-featured  call answering and routing and voice mail system; and PhoneXpress
Entree,  a basic  voice mail and call  answering  system for the small  business
market. The computer-oriented  product line is RightFAX,  the Company's premier,
high performance, LAN-based fax server.
      These  products  address  the needs of four  segments  of the CTI  market:
advanced CTI applications,  "CTI-ready"  systems,  basic messaging systems,  and
installed base add-ons and service.  Advanced CTI applications  products include
CallXpressNT  and  CallXpress3  systems  sold  with at least  one  advanced  CTI
application module (in addition to voice mail/automated attendant), RightFAX and
AgentXpressNT  servers.  "CTI-ready"  systems are  CallXpressNT  and CallXpress3
systems sold initially with voice  mail/automated  attendant  capabilities only,
but  which can be easily  upgraded  to full  advanced  CTI  features.  The basic
messaging  market  is  addressed  by  the  PhoneXpress  and  PhoneXpress  Entree
products.  Sales of non-CTI  capability-enhancing  add-ons,  capacity-increasing
upgrades,  and service parts to the installed  base  represent the fourth market
segment.
      The Company's  strategies are focused on addressing these market segments,
and results of operations are reported accordingly. In January 1997, the Company
acquired selected assets and liabilities of Telcom Technologies,  a developer of
WindowsNT-based,  open-architecture  automatic call  distribution  systems.  The
Company  released  AgentXpressNT  in March 1997  utilizing  the core  technology
acquired from Telcom Technologies.
      When used in this  discussion,  the words  "believes,"  "anticipates"  and
similar expressions are intended to identify  forward-looking  statements.  Such
statements  are  subject to certain  risks and  uncertainties  that could  cause
actual results to differ  materially from those  projected.  Factors which could
affect  the  Company's  financial  results  are  described  below  and in Item 1
(Business)  of the  Company's  Annual  Report  on Form  l0-K for the year  ended
December 31, 1996.  Readers are cautioned  not to place undue  reliance on these
forward-looking statements,  which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company
undertakes  no  obligation  to publicly  release the results of any revisions to
these  forward-looking  statements  that  may  be  made  to  reflect  events  or
circumstances   after  the  date  hereof  or  to  reflect  the   occurrences  of
unanticipated events.

Results of Operations
    Net sales.  Net sales increased 28% to $13,660,000 in the quarter ended June
30, 1997, from $10,680,000 in the comparable 1996 quarter. The increase resulted
primarily from sales of advanced CTI applications,  which increased 49% from the
comparable  prior-year quarter,  and represented 57% of total sales, as compared
with 49% in the comparable  prior-year  quarter.  The low-margin basic messaging
market continues to be affected by price pressures from  competitive  offerings.
Basic messaging sales declined 20% in the quarter from the comparable prior-year
quarter.  Sales  to  the  installed  base  increased  79%  from  the  comparable
prior-year  quarter due to accelerated  marketing efforts of  telephony-oriented
products and the inclusion of  maintenance  and spare parts sales related to the
January 1997  acquisition  of the assets of Telcom  Technologies.  International
sales for the quarter increased 56% from the comparable  prior-year quarter, and
represented 20% of total net sales.
    For the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1997,  net  sales  increased  27% to
$25,722,000 from $20,236,000 in the comparable  prior-year period, due primarily
to  sales  of  advanced  CTI  application   products  which  increased  55%  and
represented 57% of 1997 sales. International sales increased 48% and represented
20% of 1997 total net sales.

    Gross profit. Gross profit as a percentage of sales improved to 63.7% in the
quarter as compared with 61.6% in the comparable  prior-year quarter, due to the
favorable  sales  mix of  advanced  CTI  applications  as  compared  with  basic
messaging  systems.  Because advanced CTI application  products contain a higher
software content, gross margins are typically higher than other sales.
    For the six months  ended June 30, 1997,  gross  profit as a  percentage  of
sales improved to 62.9% from 61.1% in the comparable  prior-year  period, due to
the favorable sales mix.
    Research and  development.  Research and development  expenses  increased to
$1,571,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1997, from $1,001,000 in the comparable
prior-year  period,  due  primarily to  increased  personnel  costs  relating to
acceleration of certain  development  projects and the inclusion of the recently
formed  call  center   development   group,   which  was  acquired  from  Telcom
Technologies.  For the six months ended June 30, 1997,  research and development
expenses   increased  59%  to  $3,069,000  from  $1,936,000  in  the  comparable
prior-year  period.  As a  percentage  of net sales,  research  and  development
expenses  represented  11.5% in the  current  quarter as compared to 9.4% in the
comparable  prior-year quarter, and 11.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1997
as compared to 9.6% in the comparable prior-year period.

    Sales,  general  and  administrative.   Sales,  general  and  administrative
expenses  increased  to  $4,640,000  in the quarter  ended June 30,  1997,  from
$3,538,000  in the  comparable  prior-year  quarter,  due primarily to increased
personnel-related costs of domestic and international  distribution  development
of  both  the  telephony-oriented  and  computer-oriented  channels  and the new
product  launches of CallXpressNT  and  AgentXpressNT.  For the six months ended
June  30,  1997,  sales,  general  and  administrative   expenses  increased  to
$8,823,000 from $6,846,000 in the comparable prior-year period.



<PAGE>


    Operating  income  (loss).  Operating  income for the quarter ended June 30,
1997,  increased to  $2,491,000  from  $2,036,000 in the  comparable  prior-year
quarter, due to increased sales, higher gross profits and controlled expenses.
     In the first quarter of 1997, the Company recognized a nonrecurring  charge
of $3,898,000 for the write-off of acquired, in-process research and development
resulting from the  acquisition of Telcom  Technologies  in January 1997. In the
comparable prior-year period, the Company recognized a $4,140,000 similar charge
resulting from the January 1996 acquisition of Cracchiolo & Feder,  Inc. (d/b/a/
RightFAX).  As a result, the Company recognized  operating income of $384,000 in
the six months  ended June 30, 1997,  and an  operating  loss of $568,000 in the
comparable prior-year period.  Excluding these nonrecurring  charges,  operating
income for the six month period in 1997 would have been $4,282,000,  an increase
of 20% as compared to $3,572,000 in the comparable prior-year period.

    Other  income,  net.  Other income in the quarter  ended June 30, 1997,  was
$278,000 as compared to $225,000 in the comparable  prior-year quarter.  For the
six months ended June 30, 1997, other income increased to $518,000 from $398,000
in the comparable prior-year period.

    Income tax expense.  The effective income tax rate in both 1997 and 1996 was
36%. The acquisition of Telcom  Technologies  was a taxable  purchase of assets,
and therefore,  the resulting  excess of purchase price over net assets acquired
is deductible for income tax purpose. The first quarter 1996 nonrecurring charge
for the  write-off of acquired,  in-process  research  and  development  and the
amortization  of goodwill  associated  with the acquisition of RightFAX were not
tax deductible;  therefore the Company recognized income tax expense of $608,000
in that quarter.  For the remainder of 1997,  the effective tax rate is expected
to continue to be approximately 36%.

    Net income (loss). For the quarter ended June 30, 1997, net income increased
23% to $1,772,000 from $1,440,000 in the comparable prior-year quarter. Earnings
per share  increased to $0.29 from $0.24 in the prior-year  quarter.  Due to the
first quarter  nonrecurring  charges discussed above, the Company recognized net
income for the six months ended June 30, 1997,  of $577,000 as compared to a net
loss of $1,599,000 in the comparable 1996 period.  Excluding these  nonrecurring
charges  net  income for the six months  ended  June 30,  1997,  would have been
$3,072,000 or $0.51 per share as compared with  $2,541,000 or $0.43 per share in
the comparable prior-year period.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

    Cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 1997,
was $2.0  million due  primarily  to  continuing  operating  profitability.  The
average   accounts   receivable   collection   period   remained   unchanged  at
approximately  40 days.  Inventories  increased to $4.7 million at June 30, 1997
from $2.5 million at December  31, 1996,  due  primarily to the  acquisition  of
assets of Telcom  Technologies  and ramp-up of production of  AgentXpressNT  and
CallXpressNT.

    In January 1997, the Company  acquired  selected  assets and  liabilities of
Telcom  Technologies,  Inc. a developer  of  WindowsNT-based,  open-architecture
automatic  call  distribution  systems.  The purchase price for the January 1997
acquisition of Telcom  Technologies  was $3.5 million in cash,  plus warrants to
purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock  exercisable at $13.36 per
share,  which may be  exercised  any time prior to January 3, 2002.  The Company
accounted  for  the  business   combination  as  a  purchase  and  recognized  a
nonrecurring  charge of $3.9 million in the first quarter of 1997,  representing
the value of the acquired, in-process research and development.

    On January 2, 1996, the Company  acquired  Cracchiolo & Feder,  Inc.  (d/b/a
RightFAX),  a privately  held  developer  of fax server  software for local area
networks,  through a merger of RightFAX  into a wholly owned  subsidiary  of the
Company.  The purchase  price for the  acquisition  paid at the closing was $4.2
million in cash plus 163,000 shares of the Company's  common stock. In addition,
the Company paid  consideration of $1.4 million in cash and 95,000 shares of the
Company's  common  stock in 1997,  relating to the 1996 earn out and  guaranteed
value of the Company's  common  stock.  As a result of the earn out, the Company
recorded an additional $2.0 million of goodwill at December 31, 1996. The former
shareholders  of  RightFAX  will  be  further  entitled  to  receive  additional
consideration  worth $1.8  million in a  combination  of cash and the  Company's
common stock over the next two years, if certain revenue and profit margin goals
are achieved by RightFAX.

    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.
