				    NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
						     (dollars in thousands)

1.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Boston 
Technology, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles for the interim financial information 
and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the 
information and footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting 
principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair 
representation of the unaudited consolidated statements of income for the three 
months ended April 30, 1997 and 1996, the unaudited consolidated statements of 
cash flows for the three months ended April 30, 1997 and 1996, and the unaudited
consolidated balance sheet at April 30, 1997 have been made.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of 
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and 
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  
Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates 
included in these financial statements include the reserve for bad debts, 
reserve for warranty, inventory valuation reserve and certain accrued 
liabilities.

It is suggested that the financial statements contained herein be read in 
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 
31, 1997.  The results of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of 
the results for the full fiscal year.

Certain amounts in the fiscal 1997 financial statements have been reclassified 
to conform to the fiscal 1998 presentation.

3.  FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

The Company maintains a revolving credit facility with two banks totaling $35 
million. Borrowings are collateralized by the Company's accounts receivable and 
inventories and bear interest at the prime rate (8.5% at April 30, 1997) or the 
LIBOR rate plus 175 basis points.  The credit facility is scheduled to expire 
on November 19, 1998.  As of April 30, 1997, the Company had $20 million 
outstanding under the credit facility.


4.  RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128 ("SFAF 128"), 
"Earnings per Share", which modifies the way in which earnings per share (EPS) 
is calculated and disclosed.  Upon adoption of this standard for the fiscal 
period ending January 31, 1998, the Company will disclose basic and diluted 
EPS and will restate all prior period EPS data presented.  Basic EPS excludes 
dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by 
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  
Diluted EPS, similar to fully diluted EPS, reflects the potential dilution that 
could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were 
exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common 
stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.  Management believes the 
adoption of SFAS 128 will not have a material impact on reported earnings per 
share.


5.   ACQUISITION OF ENHANCED COMMUNICATION CORPORATION

On February 20, 1997, the Company acquired all of  the outstanding stock of 
Enhanced Communications Corporation ("ECC"), a company providing outsourcing 
of voice messaging for Bell South Telecommunications, Inc. and Bell South 
Personal Communications, Inc. for 250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
The combination has been accounted for as a pooling of interests in accordance 
with APB 16.  The Company did not restate prior period financial statements for 
this acquisition due to immateriality, and recorded the book value of the net 
assets of ECC in the period ending April 30, 1997 amounting to $622,000. 

Change is stockholders' equity:

Balance of January 31, 1997                                           $76,492

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results 
	of  Operations 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements.  For 
this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of 
historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements.  Without 
limiting the foregoing, the words "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects,"
and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  
There are a number of important factors that could cause the Company's actual 
results to differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking 
statements.  These factors include, without limitation, those set forth below 
the caption "Certain Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results."

Results of Operations

Three months Ended April 30, 1997 versus Three Months Ended April 30, 1996

Net Sales
Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal year 1998 were $63,375,000 versus 
$35,751,000 for the prior period, an increase of $27,624,000, or 77%.  North 
American revenues, generated by sales to Regional Bell Operating Companies, 
long distance carriers, and other network operators, were approximately 
$39,128,000, an increase of $20,985,000, or 116%, over the prior year period.  
North American revenues increased to 62% of total revenues verses 51% in the 
prior year due primarily to higher incremental volume from several existing 
customers. International revenues for the first quarter were $24,247,000, an 
increase of  $6,639,000, or 38%, over the prior year period.  International 
revenues increased primarily due to higher volume from the Company's existing 
Pacific Rim and Australian customers.  International revenues comprised 38% of 
total first quarter fiscal 1998 revenues verses 49% in the prior period.


Gross Profit
Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 increased over the 
corresponding prior year period by $17,906,000, or 101%, to $35,681,000.  As a 
percentage of revenues, gross profit was approximately 56% for the three months 
ended April 30, 1997 compared to approximately 50% for the comparable prior year
period.  The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was due 
primarily to an increase in the number of larger systems shipped as well as a 
higher volume of capacity upgrades, which traditionally have higher margins.  
Assuming a stabilization of prices with increased revenues, the Company 
anticipates that gross profit as a percentage of revenues will remain at or 
near the levels experienced in the first quarter of fiscal 1998, if, as 
expected, the Company anticipates to ship larger systems, and capacity and 
additional functionality is added to the smaller systems shipped in 
fiscal year 1997.

Research and Development Expenses
Net research and development expenses were $13,976,000 for the first quarter 
of fiscal 1998 verses $7,093,000 for the prior period.  As a percentage of 
revenues, net research and development expenses increased to 22% for the first 
quarter versus 20% for the prior year.  Excluding the effect of customer funding
and certain reclassifications, gross research and development spending in the 
first quarter of fiscal 1998 increased $7,840,000, or 86%, over the prior year 
period primarily due to an increase in headcount required to support ongoing 
development projects.  The Company expects to continue to make significant 
investments in research and development, including research and development 
required under certain recent customer contracts.  The Company is also involved 
in research and development programs that are funded in whole or in part by its 
customers.  Customer funding is recognized as a reduction to research and 
development expense as development activities occur.  Customer funding offsets 
against expense for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 and 1997 were $1,233,000 
and $1,460,000, respectively.  In addition to customer funding offsets, the 
Company periodically capitalizes expenditures incurred under long term custom 
modification contracts.  These expenditures are classified as work in process 
and are recognized in cost of sales as product is delivered. Capitalized 
expenditures for these long term custom modification contracts for the first 
quarter 1998 and 1997 amounted to $1,772,000 and $588,000, respectively.

Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses
Marketing, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter were 
$12,024,000 versus $7,878,000 for the prior period.  As a percentage of 
revenues, these expenses decreased from 22% in the prior year period to 19% in 
the first quarter of fiscal 1998 due primarily to higher incremental revenue. 
Marketing, general and administrative expenses increased $4,146,000 versus the 
prior period due primarily to the expansion of the worldwide customer service 
and sales organizations, particularly in Mexico, the United Kingdom and the Far 
East, as well as increased staffing to support the overall growth of the 
Company's business.  

Net interest (expense) income
Interest income for the quarter decreased by $188,000 to $87,000 at April 30, 
1997 due primarily to lower average cash balances.  Interest expense for the 
first quarter increased by $133,000 to $343,000 as a result of borrowings 
against the Company's line of credit. The Company expects to continue to borrow 
against its line of credit in the future and incur interest expense that is 
higher than past periods.

Other Expense
Other expense increased $283,000 to $336,000 for the three months ended April 
30, 1997 due primarily to a foreign exchange loss and the Company's share of 
the loss incurred by the joint venture established in December 1995 in Brazil.  

Provision for Income taxes
The effective tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 1997 and 1996 was 
35%.  The Company expects the tax rate to remain at approximately 35% throughout
the remainder of fiscal 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 
The Company has funded its operations to date primarily through cash flow from 
operations and its bank lines of credit.  At April 30, 1997 and January 31, 
1997, the Company had available cash and cash equivalents of $26,557,000 and 
$14,032,000, respectively, and working capital of $67,296,000 and $40,411,000, 
respectively. The Company maintains a $35,000,000 revolving credit facility with
two  banks. Borrowings are collateralized by the Company's accounts receivable 
and inventories and bear interest at the prime rate (8.5% at April 30, 1997) or 
the LIBOR rate plus 175 basis points.  The credit facility is scheduled to 
expire on November 19, 1998.  This revolving credit facility also has a 1/2 of 
1% annual commitment fee on the unused portion.  The facility contains quarterly
covenants which, among other things, require the Company to maintain certain 
financial ratios, specified levels of equity and other restrictions.  The 
Company had borrowings under its revolving credit facilities of $20,000,000 
outstanding at April 30, 1997.  The Company also has available uncollateralized 
lines of credit for forward foreign exchange contracts with three banks.  There 
was no outstanding balance on these lines of credit at April 30, 1997.
	
Net cash used in operating activities for the quarter ended April 30, 1997 was 
$5,210,000.   In the quarter ended April 30, 1997, net cash used in operating 
activities consisted primarily of  an increase in accounts receivable of 
$18,316,000, an increase in inventories of $6,225,000, and a decrease in 
accounts payable of $2,384,000, offset by net income of $5,907,000, an increase 
in deferred revenue of $9,281,000, and depreciation and amortization expense of 
$3,229,000. 

Net cash used in investing activities for the quarter ended April 30, 1997 was 
$5,965,000. This reflects primarily purchases of property and equipment of 
$6,208,000, consisting primarily of computer workstations and test equipment, 
as a result of increased headcount and growth of revenues.  

Net cash provided by financing activities for the quarter ended April 30, 1997 
was $22,037,000.  This reflects borrowings made under the revolving credit 
agreements of $25,000,000, and proceeds from exercise of common stock options 
of  $2,001,000. 

The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, along with cash 
generated from operations and unused credit facilities will be sufficient to 
meet the Company's cash requirements and to fund operations at least through 
January 31, 1998.

Certain Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results

The reader should consider the following important factors, among others, which 
in some cases have affected, and in the future could affect, the Company's 
actual results and could cause the Company's results in future quarters and 
fiscal years to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking 
statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company.

Historically, a substantial portion of the Company's revenues have been 
attributed to a limited number of customers.  The Company expects to continue 
to rely on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of its 
revenue.  In addition, the Company also has a high average system revenue per 
transaction; therefore, the loss of any one customer, or a significant decline 
in their volume, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business 
and its results of operations. The Company's ability to increase future revenues
may depend on its ability to generate sufficient revenues to substitute for 
reduced purchases by one or more major customers.  In addition, the Company's 
operating expenses are incurred ratably throughout each quarter and are 
relatively fixed in the short term.  As a result, if projected revenues are not 
realized in the expected period, the Company's operating results for that period
could be adversely affected.

The Company's industry is subject to rapid technological change. The Company's 
revenue stream depends on its ability to enhance its existing software products 
and to introduce new products on a timely and cost-effective basis.  This 
includes any customer-requested custom software enhancements required in the 
normal course of product delivery.  The Company's products involve sophisticated
hardware and software technology platforms that perform critical functions to 
highly demanding standards.  There can be no assurance the Company's current or 
future products will not develop operational problems, which could have a 
material adverse effect on the Company.  In addition, if the Company were to 
delay the introduction of new products, or to delay the delivery of specific 
custom software enhancements, the Company's operating results could be adversely
affected. 

The international portion of the Company's business, which represented 38% of 
revenues for the first three months of fiscal 1998, is subject to a number of 
inherent risks, including difficulties in building and managing international 
operations and international reseller networks, international service and 
support of the Company's products, difficulties or delays in translating 
products into foreign languages, fluctuations in the value of foreign 
currencies, import/export duties and quotas, and unexpected regulatory, economic
or political changes in international markets.  Due to the competitive 
environment in the international marketplace, certain international customers 
may require longer payment terms resulting in greater difficulty in accounts 
receivable collection.  In addition, while the Company's products are designed 
to meet the regulatory standards of foreign markets, any inability to obtain 
foreign regulatory approvals or to meet other required standards on a timely 
basis could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results.

As a result of the expected increase in international business, the Company's 
revenues may increasingly be denominated in foreign currencies.  To date, 
foreign currency fluctuations have not had a material adverse effect on the 
Company's operating results.  While the Company has periodically engaged in 
hedging transactions to cover its currency translation exposure, the expected 
increase in international business may require the Company to engage in these 
types of transactions more frequently to mitigate the effect of foreign currency
fluctuations.

Although backlog has increased compared to the prior year period, historically, 
the Company has operated with minimal backlog.  While the increased backlog 
has provided greater visibility for near-term revenues, revenues earned in any 
quarter will continue to be largely dependent on orders booked, built, and 
shipped in that quarter.  Other factors that may impact the Company's ability to
convert backlog into revenues for any given quarter are development efforts that
may span several quarters, the ability to secure hardware components from single
source suppliers and the fact that orders may be canceled or delivery schedules 
modified.  The Company has also experienced a pattern of recording the majority 
of its quarterly revenues in the third month of the quarter.   

The Company sells substantially all of its products to companies in the 
telecommunication industry.  This industry is undergoing significant change as 
a result of deregulation and privatization worldwide, reducing restrictions on 
competition in the industry. Unforeseen changes in the regulatory environment 
may have an impact on the Company's revenues and/or costs in any given part of 
the world.  The worldwide enhanced services systems industry is already highly 
competitive and the Company expects competition to intensify. The Company 
believes that it will continue to encounter substantial competition from its 
existing competitors, and that other companies, many with considerably greater 
financial, technical, marketing and sales resources than the Company, may enter 
the enhanced services systems markets. 

Certain  components of the Company's products are currently purchased from a 
single source, and, although the Company believes that alternate sources are 
available, any interruption or discontinuation in the supply of such components 
could adversely affect the Company's operating results.

The Company's growth and success depend upon its ability to attract, motivate 
and retain highly skilled employees, especially technical employees and key 
executives.  Qualified technical employees are in great demand and are likely 
to remain a limited resource for the foreseeable future.  There can be no 
assurance the Company will be successful in hiring and retaining the required 
personnel.  

The growth of the Company has placed and is expected to continue to place 
significant demands on the Company's operational, administrative and financial 
resources.  There can be no assurance the Company will be able to maintain its 
historic growth rate or that any future growth will not have a material adverse 
effect on the Company.

The Company's ability to compete effectively will depend to a significant extent
on its ability to protect its proprietary rights and operate without infringing 
the proprietary rights of others, and there can be no assurance the Company will
be able to do so.  In addition, any litigation involving such proprietary rights
could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  Legal Proceedings
		
Reference is made to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal 
year ended January 31, 1997 for a description of certain legal proceedings 
(Civil Action Nos. 95-CV-7236, 95-CV-7295 and 95-CV-7317) commenced in the 
United States District Court for the Eastern District Court for Eastern District
of Pennsylvania against the Company and certain of its current and former 
officers and directors alleging violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. On November 14, 
1996, the United States District Court of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania 
ordered the cases transferred to the United States District court for the 
District of Massachusetts.  On January 19, 1997, the defendants filed a Motion 
to Dismiss on the grounds that the Amended Complaint fails to state a claim 
under the relevant sections of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and under 
the law as applied by the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. 
Oral argument was held on the Motion to Dismiss and the Plaintiffs Reply to the 
Motion on March 20, 1997.  A decision is expected by August 1997.  Boston 
Technology and the defendants continue to deny the allegations and will 
continue to contest these cases vigorously. The outcome of this lawsuit is 
neither probable nor estimable; accordingly, no loss provision has been made 
for this lawsuit.
