PROXY STATEMENT FOR
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
2002

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of Teltronics, Inc. ("Company") of proxies for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held at the principal executive offices of the Company at 2150 Whitfield Industrial Way, Sarasota, Florida 34243 on June 26, 2003 at 10:00 a.m., and at any adjournment thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. In addition to solicitation by mail, solicitations may be made by personal interview, telephone, telegram or other electronic means by Directors, officers and other regular employees of the Company. The cost of this proxy solicitation will be borne by the Company. The Company will also reimburse persons holding stock for others in their names or those of their nominees for their reasonable expenses in sending proxy material to their principals and obtaining their proxies. The Company will use the services of Computershare Investor Services, 350 Indiana Street, Suite 800, Golden, Colorado 80401 to aid in solicitation of proxies at an anticipated fee of $3,705 plus reasonable expenses. It is contemplated that this Proxy Statement will be first sent to Stockholders on or about May 16, 2003.

If the enclosed proxy is properly executed and returned, the shares represented thereby will be voted in accordance with the instructions contained therein. Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the stockholder, at any time prior to its use, by the stockholder voting in person at the meeting, by submitting a proxy bearing a date subsequent to the date on the proxy to be revoked or by written notice to the Secretary of the Company. If proxies are signed and returned without voting instructions, the shares represented by the proxies will be voted as recommended by the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on May 1, 2003 as the record date for determining the holders of voting stock entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. On May 1, 2003, the Company had outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting a total of 7,292,425 shares of Common Stock. Each outstanding share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters to be brought before the Annual Meeting. On May 1, 2003, the Company had outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting a total of 100,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to four hundred votes per share, 12,625 shares of Series B Preferred Convertible Stock entitled to one vote per share of Common Stock into which the Series B Preferred Convertible Stock is convertible as of the record date on all matters to be brought before the Annual Meeting and 40,000 shares of Series C Preferred Convertible Stock entitled to one vote per share of Common Stock into which the Series C Preferred Convertible Stock is convertible as of the record date on all matters to be brought before the Annual Meeting. On May 1, 2003, the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Convertible Stock were convertible into 721,429 shares of Common Stock and the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Convertible Stock were convertible into 1,454,545 shares of Common Stock.

The Company's Bylaws provide that the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock outstanding on the record date for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be present or represented at the meeting in order to have a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions (votes "withheld") will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. A proxy submitted by an institution such as a broker or bank that holds shares for the account of a beneficial owner may indicate that all or a portion of the shares represented by that proxy are not being voted with respect to a particular matter. This could occur, for example, when the broker or bank is not permitted to vote those shares in the absence of instructions from the beneficial owner of the stock. These "broker non-votes" will be considered shares not present and, therefore, not entitled to vote on that matter, although these shares may be considered present and entitled to vote for other purposes. If a quorum is present and voting, the five nominees for director receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of the shares present or represented and entitled to be voted for them shall be elected as directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors. Shares represented by proxies which are present and entitled to vote on a matter but which have elected to abstain from voting on that matter will have the effect of votes against each proposal, other than election of directors. Broker non-votes will not affect the determination of the outcome of the vote on any matter to be decided at the meeting.

PROPOSAL ONE

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

           The Board of Directors is proposing the election of five (5) Directors to hold office until the election and qualification of their successors at the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Unless the proxy directs otherwise, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote for the election of the five nominees named below. If any of the nominees should be unable to serve as a Director, or for good reason will not serve, the proxy will be voted in accordance with the best judgment of the person or persons acting under it. It is not anticipated that any of the nominees will be unable to serve. In the case of a vacancy, the Board of Directors may elect another Director as a replacement or may leave the vacancy unfilled. Decisions regarding the election or appointment of new Directors during the year normally are based upon considerations such as the size of the Board and the need to obtain fresh perspectives or to replace particular skills or experience of former Directors. The nominees for Directors, their ages, their principal occupations during at least the past five years, their positions and offices with the Company and, as applicable, the date each was first elected a Director of the Company or its predecessors are as follows:

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

          Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company's executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of Teltronics' equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish Teltronics with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it and written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were required for them, the Company believes that during its most recently completed fiscal year ended on December 31, 2002, all filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors, and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were met.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

          Our management is responsible for the Company's financial reporting process, including its system of internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures, and for the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company's independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. Our responsibility is to oversee, monitor, and review these processes. It is not our duty or our responsibility to conduct auditing or accounting reviews or procedures. We are neither employees of the Company nor auditors by profession. Therefore, we have relied, without independent verification, on management's representations, including those in the certifications of the financial statements that have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, that the Company's financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We have also relied on the representations of the Company's independent auditors included in its reports. Our discussions with management and the Company's independent auditors do not ensure that the Company's financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, that the audit of the Company's financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards or that the Company's independent auditors are in fact "independent."

1. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 with Teltronics' management.

2. The Audit Committee has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP the matters required to be discussed by SAS 61 (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards, AU § 380).

3. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from Ernst & Young LLP required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Standards Board Standards No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees) and has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP its independence.

4. Based on the review and discussion referred to in paragraphs (1) through (3) above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the financial statements be approved for inclusion in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2002 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

By the Audit Committee
Carl S. Levine,
Gregory G. Barr, and
Richard L. Stevens

          On August 12, 1996, the Company adopted a policy which was amended on August 13, 2002, to compensate non-employee members of its Board of Directors and Audit Committee in the amount of $2,500 plus expenses for each meeting attended in person and $1,500 for participating in each meeting via telephone conference.

Report by the Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation

          The Company's executive compensation program is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board, which has responsibility for all aspects of the compensation program for the executive officers of the Company. A component of overall compensation is the granting of stock options, the award of which is made by the Compensation Committee and is discussed in "Long-Term Stock Incentives," below. The Compensation Committee consists of the entire Board.

          The Compensation Committee's primary objective with respect to executive compensation is to establish programs that attract, retain, and motivate key personnel who contribute to the long-term success of the Company. The Company strives to provide a comprehensive executive compensation program that is competitive and performance-based in order to attract and retain superior executive talent. In making its recommendations to the Compensation Committee, management reviews market data and assesses Teltronics' competitive position. Management established and the Compensation Committee approved the following three components of executive compensation:

• base salary;

• annual cash bonuses based upon organizational results and overall performance against plan; and

• long-term incentives in order to align the interests of the Company's executives with the long-term interests of stockholders.

Base Salaries. Base salaries have been established for the Chief Executive Officer and several other executive officers in their respective employment agreements. The Board of Directors approved employment agreements between Teltronics and Messrs. Cameron, Dobiesz, Ramey and Min. See "Executive Compensation -- Employment Agreements." In determining the base salaries in employment agreements with our executive officers and for all executive officer positions, we attempted to be competitive with the average salaries of comparable executives at telecommunications companies of similar size and to reflect consideration of an officer's experience, business judgment, and role in developing and implementing the overall business strategy of Teltronics. The Committee generally attempts to set compensation of executive officers within the median of

9

industry compensation levels. Base salaries are based upon qualitative and subjective factors and no specific formula is applied to determine the weight of each factor.

          The base salary for Ewen Cameron, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, was set in Mr. Cameron's 1999 employment agreement. Mr. Cameron's employment agreement provides that he will receive a base compensation of $325,000 per year, to be increased January 1 of each year beginning January 1, 2000 by $25,000. Subject to approval by Mr. Cameron, the Company may pay any such increases in the form of the Company's securities. Mr. Cameron's base salary for 2002 was $376,998 as compared to $377,999 for 2001. Consistent with the Company's cost reductions over the last fiscal year, Mr. Cameron elected not to take the base salary increase in 2002 provided by his employment agreement.

          Base salaries paid to our executive officers who do not have employment agreements are subject to annual review and adjustment on the basis of individual and Company performance, level of responsibility, individual experience, and competitive, inflationary, and internal equity considerations. The Compensation Committee believes that for the year ended December 31, 2002, executive salaries, including the salary paid to Mr. Cameron, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, were in the median range of salaries paid by the companies surveyed in the Company's metropolitan area.

Annual Bonuses.  Company executives are eligible to receive annual cash bonus awards to focus attention on achieving key goals pursuant to bonus plans designed to provide competitive incentive pay only in the event such objectives are met or exceeded. The objectives include specific targets for earnings as reflected in the Company's financial plan submitted by management and approved by the Compensation Committee based on a variety of factors, including viability of the target growth rate and amount of earnings appropriate to satisfy stockholder expectations. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Compensation Committee did not award annual bonus payments.

Long-Term Incentives. Teltronics uses stock options as long-term incentives to attract and retain key personnel or reward exceptional performance. Stock options are granted periodically by the Compensation Committee and are based on both qualitative and subjective factors. Options are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of Teltronics' common stock on the last market trading day prior to the date of determination (determined in accordance with the option plan) and grants made during the last fiscal year vest over a period of five years. This is designed to create an incentive to increase stockholder value over the long-term because the options will provide value to the recipient only when the price of the stock increases above the exercise price. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Compensation Committee did not grant options to executive officers.

Section 162(m). Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), with certain exception, limits Teltronics' deduction for compensation paid to Named Officers to $1,000,000 per covered executive per year. The Compensation Committee does not expect the deductibility of compensation paid in 2002 to any executive officer to be affected by Section 162(m). The Compensation Committee may consider alternatives to its existing compensation programs in the future with respect to qualifying executive compensation for deductibility.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

          Effective August 31, 2001 the Company entered into five-year employment agreements with Ewen R. Cameron, President and CEO, and Norman R. Dobiesz, Senior Vice President Business Development. See Executive Compensation - Employment Agreements.

          Effective September 9, 2002 the Company entered into three-year employment agreements with Robert B. Ramey, Vice President Manufacturing and Patrick G. Min, Vice President Finance and CFO. See Executive Compensation - Employment Agreements.

          The Company had an outstanding note payable to its President and CEO, which was paid in full plus interest at September 18, 2002 for $73,380. The balance at December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $69,350 and $64,035, respectively.

          The Senior Vice President Business Development personally guaranteed a portion of the Company's obligations to the lessor over the term of the lease. The Company agreed to pay 6% of the total future value of the lease payments, excluding executory costs, as consideration for this guarantee. This amount was paid during 1991. The cost of the guarantee to the Company, 6% of $7,000,000 or $420,000 has been deferred as a financing cost (prepaid lease guarantee) in the accompanying financial statements and is amortized on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. Accumulated amortization of this amount at December 31, 2002 and 2001 was $347,958 and $320,508, respectively.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" this proposal.

PROPOSAL TWO

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Selection of Ernst & Young LLP

          The Board of Directors has selected Ernst & Young LLP to audit the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003. The appointment of Ernst & Young LLP was made on the recommendation of the Audit Committee. Representatives of Ernst & Young are expected to attend the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

          In the event the stockholders fail to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP, the Board of Directors will reconsider the appointment. Even if the selection is ratified, the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a new independent accounting firm at any time during the year, if the Board feels that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

          Ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's auditors for the coming fiscal year requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast by the holders of record of the shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, a quorum being present.

Audit and Non-Audit Fees

          For the 2002 and 2001 fiscal years, fees for services provided by Ernst & Young LLP were as follows:

	2002	2001
Audit Fees	$ 162,979	$ 164,529
Audit-Related Fees	4,600	19,512
Tax Fees	---	---
All Other Fees	---	---

12

          Audit Fees billed to Teltronics by Ernst & Young LLP during the 2001 and 2002 fiscal year include the audit of Teltronics' annual financial statements and quarterly reviews of financial statements included in its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Audit related fees billed to Teltronics by Ernst & Young during the 2002 and 2001 fiscal years include registration statements to register shares of the Company's stock for various employee benefit plans.

Pre-approval of Services. Before the independent accountant is engaged by the Company or its subsidiaries to render audit or non-audit services, the Audit Committee (or a delegated member of the Audit Committee in the manner established by the SEC) pre-approves the engagement. The Audit Committee may establish pre-approval policies and procedures regarding the Company's engagement of the independent accountant, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the Audit Committee is informed of each service provided, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the Audit Committee's responsibilities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to the Company's management. The Audit Committee's pre-approval of non-audit services (other than review and attest services) will not be required if such services fall within available exceptions established by the SEC.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" this proposal.

PROPOSALS OF STOCKHOLDERS FOR 2004 ANNUAL MEETING

          The deadline for submission of shareholder proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Rule 14a-8") for inclusion in the Company's proxy statement for its 2004 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is January 19, 2004 (unless the date of the 2004 Annual Meeting is not held within 30 days of June 26, 2004, in which case the deadline will be a reasonable time before we begin to print and mail the proxy material for the 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders). Notice to the Company of a shareholder proposal submitted otherwise than pursuant to Rule 14a-8 will be considered untimely. If the Board chooses to present your proposal despite its untimeliness, the persons named in proxies solicited by the Board of Directors of the Company for its 2004 Annual Meeting of Shareholders may exercise discretionary voting power with respect to any such proposal if received by the Company after April 1, 2004.

OTHER BUSINESS

          The Board of Directors knows of no other matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote on such matters in accordance with their own judgment.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

          Copies of the 2002 Annual Report of the Company have been mailed to stockholders. Additional copies of the Annual Report, as well as this Proxy Statement, Proxy Card(s), and Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, may be obtained upon written request from Ewen R.

This charter governs the operations of the audit committee. The committee shall review and reassess the charter at least annually and obtain the approval of the board of directors. The committee shall be appointed by the board of directors and shall comprise at least three directors, each of whom are independent of management and the Company.

All committee members shall be financially literate, or shall become financially literate within a reasonable period of time after appointment to the committee, and at least one member shall have accounting or related financial management expertise.

Statement of Policy

The audit committee shall provide assistance to the board of directors in fulfilling their oversight responsibility to the shareholders, potential shareholders, the investment community, and others relating to the Company's financial statements and the financial reporting process, the systems of internal accounting and financial controls, the internal audit function, the annual independent audit of the Company's financial statements, and the legal compliance and ethics programs as established by management and the board. In so doing, it is the responsibility of the committee to maintain free and open communication between the committee, independent auditors, the internal auditors and management of the Company. In discharging its oversight role, the committee is empowered to investigate any matter brought to its attention with full access to all books, records, facilities, and personnel of the Company and the power to retain outside counsel, or other experts for this purpose.

Responsibilities and Processes

The primary responsibility of the audit committee is to oversee the Company's financial reporting process on behalf of the board and report the results of their activities to the board. Management is responsible for preparing the company's financial statements, and the independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. The committee in carrying out its responsibilities believes its policies and procedures should remain flexible, in order to best react to changing conditions and circumstances. The committee should take the appropriate actions to set the overall corporate "tone" for quality financial reporting, sound business risk practices, and ethical behavior.

The following shall be the principal recurring processes of the audit committee in carrying out its oversight responsibilities. The processes are set forth as a guide with the understanding that the committee may supplement them as appropriate.

• The committee shall have a clear understanding with management and the independent auditors that the independent auditors are ultimately accountable to the board and the audit committee, as representatives of the Company's shareholders. The committee shall have he ultimate authority and responsibility to evaluate and, where appropriate, replace the independent auditors. The committee shall discuss with the auditors their independence from management and the Company and the matters included in the written disclosures required by the Independence Standards Board. Annually, the committee shall review and recommend to the board the selection of the Company's independent auditors, subject to shareholders' approval.

A-1

• The committee shall discuss with the internal auditors and the independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their respective audits including the adequacy of staffing and compensation. Also, the committee shall discuss with management, the internal auditors, and the independent auditors the adequacy and effectiveness of the accounting and financial controls, including the Company's system to monitor and manage business risk, and legal and ethical compliance programs. Further, the committee shall meet separately with the internal auditors and the independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations.

• The committee shall review the interim financial statements with management and the independent auditors prior to the filing of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Also, the committee shall discuss the results of the quarterly review and any other matters required to be communicated to the committee by the independent auditors under generally accepted auditing standards. The chair of the committee may represent the entire committee for the purposes of this review.

• The committee shall review with management and the independent auditors the financial statements to be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (or the annual report to shareholders if distributed prior to the filing of Form 10-K), including their judgment about the quality, not just acceptability, of accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of the disclosures in the financial statements. Also, the committee shall discuss the results of the annual audit and any other matters required to be communicated to the committee by the independent auditors under generally accepted auditing standards.
