PART I- FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The following consolidated condensed financial statements, except for the 
balance sheet as of December 31, 1995, have been prepared by the Company 
without audit by independent public accountants, but in accordance with the 
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and in 
the opinion of the Company, include all adjustments (consisting only of 
normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of results for 
each period shown. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally 
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to 
such SEC rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures 
made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  These 
financial statments should be read in conjunction with the financial 
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Registration Statement 
on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-3842) declared effective by the SEC on 
June 20, 1996.  The results of operations for the three months and six months 
ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be 
expected for the entire year ending December 31, 1996.

                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    1.   Stockholders' Equity

         The Company completed an initial public offering (IPO) of its common
         stock in June 1996.  The Company sold 2,766,375 shares at an initial
         public offering price of $17 per share, resulting in proceeds to the
         Company of approximately $41.2 million, after deducting underwriting
         discounts and offering expenses.

         As of the closing of the IPO,  the Company's Common Voting Stock split
         on a 2.1 to 1 basis, the Company's Common Non-Voting Stock split on a 2
         to 1 basis, and all of the Common Non-Voting Stock converted to Common
         Voting Stock on a one-for-one basis. The effect of these transactions
         has been retroactively reflected in the financial statements.

    2.   Income Tax

         Income tax provisions for interim periods are based on estimated
         effective annual income tax rates.  The Company recognizes deferred
         tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of
         temporary differences between tax bases and financial reporting bases
         of assets and liabilities.

    3.   Earnings per Share

         Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares
         outstanding and common stock equivalents during the respective
         periods, including the assumed net shares issuable upon exercise of
         stock options when dilutive.  Common and common equivalent shares
         issued during the twelve month period prior to the IPO are included in
         the calculations as if they were outstanding for all periods presented
         (using the treasury stock method at the fair market value of the stock
         on June 30, 1996.)

    4.   Subsequent Event

         On July 9, 1996, the Company  received approximately  $11.4 million,
         after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses, upon the
         exercise of the Underwriters' overallotment option to purchase
         720,000 shares of common stock in connection with the IPO.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition, Results
         of Operations, and Certain Factors that May Affect Future Results

Founded in 1969, USCS is a leading provider of customer management software 
and services to the global communications industry. Revenue is derived 
primarily from providing software and bill presentment services to cable 
television and multi-service providers in the U.S. and 13 other countries and 
bill presentment services to telecommunication companies in the U.S. Software 
and bill presentment services to cable television and multi-service providers 
are generally provided under bundled service arrangements. Most of the 
Company's revenue is derived based on the number of subscribers or end-users 
of the Company's clients, the number of billing statements mailed and/or the 
number of images, generally one page side, produced. Most of the Company's 
revenue is derived under long-term contracts with terms ranging from three to 
seven years.

The Company provides software and services to North American cable television 
and multi-service providers primarily through a direct sales force. Outside 
of North America, the Company markets its software services primarily through 
strategic partners, such as system integrators and computer hardware 
manufacturers, which provide local sales and support. Building and 
maintaining relationships with its clients is an important part of the 
Company's strategy because selling cycles can extend a year or longer. The 
Company has committed increased resources to the international, multi-service 
and telecommunications markets because it believes these represent 
opportunities to grow at rates greater than in the U.S. cable television 
marketplace alone. In addition, the Company sells computer hardware and 
provides associated maintenance. Leasing is provided as an alternative to 
equipment purchase for clients.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the Company's

30, 1996 from 43% in the comparable period in 1995. Gross profit margins were
increased because of economies of scale associated with higher volume, increased
prices and cost control.  Bill presentment services gross profit margin
increased to 27% in the second quarter of 1996 from 17% in the comparable 1995
quarter  and to 27% in the six months ended June 30, 1996 from 20% in the
comparable 1995 period due to economies of scale resulting from increased
revenue.   The gross profit margin on equipment related revenue increased to 41%
in the second quarter of 1996  from 40% in the comparable quarter  in 1995.

Research and Development.  Research and development spending in the second 
quarter, exclusive of amounts reimbursable by development partners, 
represented 9% of total revenue, and increased by $2.0 million over the 
comparable quarter in the prior year.  Research and development was 9% of 
total revenue, or $11.5 million, for the six months ended June 30,

                                       9

1996 versus 8%, or $8.4 million, in the comparable 1995 six month 
period. The added spending was aimed at expanding features and functionality 
in both customer management software and bill presentment services.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative 
expenses represented 19% of total revenue for both the three months and the 
six months ended June 30, 1996 versus 18% for the comparable 1995 periods. 
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 1996 
increased by approximately 19% over the comparable quarter in the prior year. 
This increase is attributable to a 33% increase in sales and marketing 
spending to primarily support our increased sales and marketing efforts in 
the U.S. and international markets. 

Net Income.  Net income in the second quarter of 1996 increased by 24% to $2.8
million from $2.3 million in the comparable 1995 quarter primarily because of
the factors cited above.  Net income per share increased 18% in the second
quarter and for the first half of 1996 versus the comparable periods in 1995.
The increases in net income per share resulted primarily from the Company's
higher earnings.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The primary sources of the Company's growth has been provided by operations 
and borrowing from banks and financial institutions for the three months and 
six months ended June 30, 1996 until the receipt of the proceeds of the IPO. 
In June 1996, the Company utilized the net proceeds from the IPO of $41.2 
million to reduce debt under certain revolving credit agreements. Subsequent 
to June 30, 1996, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $11.4 
million upon the exercise of the Underwriters' overallottment option to 
purchase 720,000 shares of common stock.

The Company collects from its clients and remits to the U.S. Postal Service a 
substantial amount of postage. All contracts allow the Company to pre-bill 
and/or require deposits from its clients to mitigate the effect on cash flow. 
As of June 30, 1996, 34% of the Company's accounts receivable represented 
amounts due from clients for postage. Postage collections and remittances are 
not included in the Company's statements of operations.

At June 30, 1996, the Company had $6.7 million of cash, $67.1 million of 
accounts receivable (including postage receivable of $ 23.1 million), $5.0 
million of current net investment in leases, and $35.2 million of working 
capital. At the end of the second quarter of 1996, the Company and a 
subsidiary had combined borrowings of $4.0 million under unsecured bank 
credit arrangements with a total borrowing availability of $65.0 million. Of 
the $27.4 million of total debt outstanding at June 30, 1996, $8.4 million is 
due over the following 12-month period.

The Company continues to make significant investments in capital equipment 
and research and development. The Company believes that the proceeds of the 
IPO, together with net cash from operations and the borrowing availability, 
will be sufficient to support operations through the next twelve months.

CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks 
and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ significantly from 
the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. A number of 
uncertainties exist that could affect the Company's future operating results, 
including, without limitation, changes in the cable television market, the 
Company's ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers, the 
Company's continuing ability to develop products that are responsive to the 
evolving needs of its customers, increased competition, changes in operating 
expenses, changes in government regulation of the Company's clients and 
general economic factors.

The Company is highly dependant on the cable television market. The number of 
providers of cable television service in the U.S. is declining, resulting in 
a reduction of the number of potential cable television clients in the U.S. 
As the number of companies serving the available subscriber base decreases, 
the loss of a single client could have a greater adverse impact on the 
Company than in the past. Furthermore, a decrease in the number of cable 
subscribers or any adverse development in the cable television market could 
have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of 
operations of the Company.

The communications market is characterized by rapid technological 
developments, changes in client requirements, evolving industry standards and 
frequent new product introductions. The Company's future success will depend, 
in part, upon its ability to enhance its existing applications, develop and 
introduce new products that take advantage of technological advances and 
respond promptly to new client requirements and evolving industry standards. 
The Company has expended considerable funds to develop products to serve the 
changing communications market. If the communications market fails to 
converge or grows more slowly than anticipated or the Company's products and 
services fail to achieve market acceptance, there could be a material adverse 
effect on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. 
Further, the Company's development projects are subject to all of the risks 
associated with the development of new software and other products based on 
innovative technologies. The failure of such development projects could have 
a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of 
operations of the Company.

The Company's quarterly operating results may fluctuate from quarter to 
quarter depending on various factors, including the impact of significant 
start-up costs associated with initiating the delivery of contracted services 
to new clients, the hiring of additional staff, new product development and 
other expenses, introduction of new products by competitors, pricing 
pressures, the evolving and unpredictable nature of the markets in which the 
Company's products and services are sold and general economic conditions.

The market for the Company's products and services is highly competitive, and 
competition is increasing as additional market opportunities arise. The 
Company believes its most significant competitors for customer management 
software and services are independent providers of such software and services 
and in-house systems. TCI, which represented approximately 17% and 18% of the 


                                       11

<PAGE>

Company's revenue for 1995 and 1994, respectively, has announced that it is 
developing and testing an in-house system and that such in-house system will 
replace the Company's system. Another client, which accounted for 4% of total 
revenue in 1995 and recently extended its contract with the Company to early 
1997, has orally advised the Company that it may select an alternative 
solution for its customer management software requirements. In addition, 
competitive factors could influence or alter the Company's overall revenue 
mix between customer management software, services, including bill 
presentment services, and equipment sales and leasing. Any of these events 
could have a material adverse effect on the financial conditions and results 
of operations, including gross profit margins, of the Company.

Aggregate revenue from the Company's ten largest clients accounted for 
approximately 63% of total revenue in both 1995 and 1994. Loss of all or a 
significant part of the business of any of these clients or a decrease in 
their respective customer bases would have a material adverse effect on the 
financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

Management of the Company's growth may place a considerable strain on the 
Company's management, operations and systems. The Company's ability to execute 
its business strategy will depend in part upon its ability to manage the 
demands of a growing business. Any failure of the Company's management team 
to effectively manage growth could have a material adverse effect on the 
Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.

Substantially all of the Company's revenue is derived from the sale of 
services or products under long-term contracts with its clients. The Company 
typically does not have the unilateral option to extend the terms of such 
contracts upon their expiration. In addition, certain of the Company's 
contracts do not require clients to make any minimum purchase. Others require 
minimum purchases that are substantially below the current level of business 
under such contracts and all such contracts are cancelable by clients under 
certain conditions. The failure of clients to renew contracts, a reduction in 
usage by clients under any contracts or the cancellation of contracts, could 
have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and 
results of operations.

The Company markets its products in a variety of international markets. To 
date, the Company's primary customer management software has been installed 
in 13 countries. While less than 5% of the Company's customer management 
software and services revenue came from international sources, the Company is 
expanding its international presence, primarily through third party marketing 
and distribution alliances. The Company's current and proposed international 
business activities are subject to certain inherent risks. There can be no 
assurance that such risks will not have a material adverse effect on the 
Company's future international sales and, consequently, the Company's 
business, operating results and financial condition.

The Company's existing and potential clients are subject to extensive 
regulation, and certain of the Company's revenue opportunities may depend on 
continued deregulation in the worldwide communications industry. In addition, 
the Company's clients are subject to certain regulations governing the 
privacy and use of the customer information that is collected and managed by 
the Company's products and services. Regulatory changes that adversely affect 
the Company's existing and potential clients could have a material adverse 
effect on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

Reference is made to the more detailed discussion of the risks associated 
with the Company's business contained under the heading "Risk Factors" in the 
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-3842) 
declared effective by the SEC on June 20, 1996.
