CONFERENCE COORDINATOR: Good morning, everyone and welcome to the ClearOne
Communications Investor Relations Conference Call for the Third Quarter of
Fiscal Year 2002. Presiding over the call today is Frances Flood, President and
Chief Executive Officer. During the presentation, all lines will be in a
listen-only mode. A question and answer session will follow. Due to the large
number of participants on today's call, questions will be limited to those from
members of the financial community. The conference call today will be tape
recorded and can be replayed beginning this afternoon with the following
telephone numbers: 800-839-0860 or 402-220-1490. The access code for the
rebroadcast will be 1236. It can also be accessed on demand over the Internet on
ClearOne's web site at www.clearone.com. Thank you for your attention. I now
turn the time over to Ms. Flood.

FRAN FLOOD: Thank you Galen. Good morning everyone and thank you for joining our
third quarter for fiscal 2002 conference call. Randy Wichinski, our Chief
Financial Officer is with me today as well as several other members of our
executive team. Before I start today's conference call, let me read the
following regarding forward-looking statements. (skip to next merger related
section)



RANDALL WICHINSKI: Thanks Fran. For the record and for the benefit of our legal
counsel, although we are very optimistic about all of our accomplishments this
quarter and the anticipated effect the E.mergent acquisition will have on our
financial results for the rest of the fiscal year, we are precluded from giving
specific financial guidance while the acquisition is pending. We have responded
to all the review questions from the SEC and we expect to get their final
approval soon so we can mail the proxy materials to the E.mergent shareholders
and close the merger. At this point, it appears that the actual close will be in
mid- to late-May. We're anxiously waiting for the close of the transaction and
as soon as it's closed, we intend to provide more definitive guidance for the
balance of the fiscal year, so let's look at some of the numbers that we can
discuss. (skip to next merger related section)

You will also note that our tax rate has decreased to approximately 33%. There
are several reasons for this decrease, including the recognition of various
tax-planning opportunities and certain tax-advantaged investments that we have
utilized. Since the amount of cash invested in tax-advantaged investments will
be decreasing over the near term with our use of cash in the E.mergent
acquisition, the tax benefits associated with these investments will similarly
decrease. Therefore, for purposes of going forward, we might see the tax rate go
back up to approximately 34-35% in future quarters. (skip to next merger related
section)

FRANCES FLOOD: Thank you Randy. We began utilizing distributors about this time
last year. We engaged them to help consolidate smaller dealers who sporadically
bought a few products from us. During the past four quarters, we have worked
with these distributors to conduct training, technical support, and collection
from these dealers. Nearly 2/3 or our product sales shipped during the last two
weeks of the quarter. These included the new XAP 400 audio systems and the
V-There video, replenishing some inventory level at the distributor to
accommodate higher demand products and signing on 15 new dealers, who today
purchase E.mergent's products. All of these elements contributed to increased
accounts receivable. As with our first quarter, the third quarter reflects a
moderate amount of inventory representing products that were ordered but
mismatched to the market needs. That being said, we began aggressively assisting
our distributors to ensure the product movement during the fourth quarter and
our accounts receivables to date reflect these efforts with a 29% reduction or a
collection of $4.1 million. Moreover on a recomputed basis, our DSO's are well
within the average created by our industry leaders. (skip to next merger related
section)

CONFERENCE COORDINATOR: Everyone we will now entertain questions from members of
the financial community. To ask a question, please press one followed by a four
and to retract your question, please press one followed by a three. All
questions will be answered in the order in which they are received. (skip to
next merger related section)

CONFERENCE COORDINATOR: Our next question comes from Scott Sutherland of Wedbush
Morgan Securities. Go ahead please. (skip to next merger related section)

SCOTT SUTHERLAND: Okay so you had nothing in G&A that was a restructuring or
anything like that?

FRANCES FLOOD:  No.

RANDALL WICHINSKI:  No, no restructuring.

FRANCES FLOOD: Basically, you know we did not find need, actually. We had the
ability to sub-lease that particular office and so we took advantage of it. You
know in really integrating the Ivron deal, you know our - it's good question,
Scott. You know really, I think it's very important for us as an organization to
articulate that when we do acquisitions, our specific strategy is we do
integrate our acquisition partners rather than roll up. Where we can cut costs,
consolidate, eliminate duplications, we will and we do, and that's kind of been
our whole business strategy in the past. We'll see that with E.mergent as we go
forward and you'll see that with all other acquisitions that we do. (skip to
next merger related section)



CONFERENCE COORDINATOR: Thank you, Mr. Sutherland. Our next question comes from
Mr. Michael Cody of Sidoti
& Company.  Go ahead please.

MICHAEL CODY:  Thanks.  Good morning everybody.

FRANCES FLOOD:  Good morning, Michael.

MICHAEL CODY: I have just a couple of quick questions for you. Randy, what's
your expectation for the weighted average share count in the fourth quarter?

RANDALL WICHINSKI: In the fourth - oh, in the fourth quarter, okay, going
forward. Well let's see. It's really going to be driven by the closing of the
E.mergent transaction, of course, so I mean if we had 873,000 shares coming in
at you know, mid-quarter, you know you'd have an extra what, 437,000 shares
coming in.

MICHAEL CODY:  Uh huh.

RANDALL WICHINSKI: That would be about the only thing I can tell you. I don't
have any other share issuance. We'll have some fluctuation with respect to the,
you know, options that you know would hit the, you know, fully diluted
calculation, but that would be the only other mix.

MICHAEL CODY: Okay. I lost my train of thought, I'm sorry. For the reduction in
overhead that you talked about, I guess Fran you mentioned related to Ivron and
the R&D efforts there and that impacting the first quarter of fiscal '03. Will
there be any impact in the June quarter and if not, what will, you know, what
kind of magnitude of impact are you talking about in the September quarter?

FRANCES FLOOD: I don't think at this point, Michael, we've - I think internally
we know what the impact will be, but I'm not prepared to speak to, you know, the
first quarter of '03. The reason it will not have impact in Q4 is that obviously
there is pay out of severance and the transition associated with that, so you
won't see any cost savings as you work through, you know, work through the
reduction of force there. At this point, you know, I don't think we're in a
position to address Q1, but maybe perhaps after we you know, after we close the
E.mergent deal and do offer the forward-looking guidance, we'll probably then
speak to what the impact of that will be, on our next conference call. Believe
me, I - you know this E.mergent deal, we are so anxious to get this deal behind
us. I've said, you know, quite frankly I've been engaged to E.mergent longer
than I was engaged to my husband whom I've been married to for over 20 years.
It's been the most interesting experience of my life.

MICHAEL CODY: Okay, I understand. The Oracle/ERP that you're implementing, is
that adding any additional cost during the implementation phase and sort of
where is that, when do you expect to be finished?

FRANCES FLOOD: You know one of the interesting things, and I have to give a hats
off and a personal congratulations to Charlie Sigars who is running that team as
well as Paul Tagge. One of the things that Charlie's been able to do is because
of the timing of that, they really took advantage of an opportunity to I mean a
savings that is unprecedented in this company from Oracle and the discount.
That's why we moved on it very quickly. Obviously, we're spending money on the
Oracle implementation now. Charlie really negotiated a contract, however, that
is at a fixed cost and committed, I believe that we're looking at possibly
within the next, I would say, 90 to 120 days, we should see this thing
implemented within ClearOne proper. Then subsequent as we start to do these
further acquisitions with the E.mergent being the first, bringing them on line.
Having a consistent ERP system is going to be magical, you know, with the
background E.mergent in acquisitions. I can tell you it's one of the most
integral things that you need in an acquisition to make everyone have the same
data collection and data interpretation, so hopefully 90-120 days. (skip to next
merger related section)



CONFERENCE COORDINATOR: Our next question comes from Blair Schultz of K-2
Investments. Go ahead please.

BLAIR SCHULTZ:  Hi Randy.

RANDALL WICHINSKI:  Hi Blair.

BLAIR SCHULTZ:  We spoke a few weeks back.

RANDALL WICHINSKI:  Yes.

BLAIR SCHULTZ: Just looking to see the SEC has still not approved the, I guess,
the transaction or the document with the E.mergent transaction. Is it still
possible to close by May 15th?

RANDALL WICHINSKI: I think May 15th would be a stretch. You know, if you counted
the actual days, that would be a stretch but it's still, you know we're still
ready to go as soon as we, you know, clear the runway with them. You know we
have follow up call today on a specific question with them and they haven't
shown us any indication that there's significant issues with what's previously
been submitted. I have a sense that they're very busy. You know certainly we're
not the only filing that they're reviewing and we find the reviewers to be very
easy to work with. It's just that, you know, as Fran even mentioned in her
comments, we really have no control over it. Everything on our end will be ready
to go as quickly as possible once we get their clearance.

BLAIR SCHULTZ: Okay and then in terms of, I guess if you don't get the clearance
to close by the 15th, will we see E.mergent's numbers, I guess, a better look at
the pre-acquisition numbers anyway?

RANDALL WICHINSKI: Yeah with their 10-QSB, they're already prepared. I spoke
with their financial folks and they're preparing financials as if to issue the
10-QSB where we're anticipating that that will need to be filed. Their numbers
will likely be coming out by May 15th. (skip to next merger related section)

CONFERENCE COORDINATOR: Our next question is from Troy Jensen of RBC Capital
Markets. Go ahead please.

TROY JENSEN: Two quick questions for Randy. Randy, did you provide any Q4
guidance maybe excluding the E.mergent deal? I apologize if I missed that.

RANDALL WICHINSKI: No, I mean we referred to, you know, just to clarify, you
know, like in my prepared comments with respect to actual results at this time,
just that they were in appearance of an aberration. Just to clarify as I did on
the tax rate where I said that, you know we likely would not see that go
forward, but you know on a specific guidance basis, any other financial results,
this type of thing, we're not giving any guidance at this time. We can't. (skip
to next merger related section)

CONFERENCE COORDINATOR: Thank you, Mr. Jensen. Ms. Flood, it appears there are
no further questions in queue for you at this time. I'll turn the time back over
to you.

FRANCES FLOOD: Thank you so much, Galen, and thank you to all those who've
participated on today's call and again I think ClearOne is the company to watch.
On to bigger and better things; we're very bullish on our future and hope that
you will be as well. Thank you and have a good day.
