              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   
                              (UNAUDITED)
                                   
                                   
ITEM 1.   Financial Statements and Principles of Consolidation

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the instruction to Form 10-Q, and  do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

      In  the  opinion of management, all adjustments  (consisting  of
normal   recurring  adjustments)  considered  necessary  for  a   fair
presentation have been included.  These statements should be  read  in
conjunction  with the audited financial statements and  notes  thereto
included  in  the Registrant's annual Form 10-K filing  for  the  year
ended April 30, 1996.

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company   and   all  majority-owned  subsidiaries.   All  intercompany
transactions have been eliminated.

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

     The Company's revenue for the quarter ending January 31, 1997 was
$479,468  compared with $3,338,103 in 1996.  Net loss  for  the  three
month period was $4,171,915 compared with a gain for the previous year
of  $1,591,742.  These results are due to further write-down of  value
of  Trading  Securities, and operating expenses in excess  of  current
gross profits.

     The consolidated balance sheets for the period show stockholders'
equity of $12,898,144 compared with $15,680,168 for the financial year
ended  April  30, 1996.  Total assets were $13,718,878  compared  with
$16,701,863.

     During the period under review, the Registrant's subsidiary Third
Planet  Publishing,  Inc. introduced two new  products,  Say  It!  and
Proficia.  Say It! which began distribution to the market in February,
is  an  Internet voice mail program allowing for voice e-mails instead
of  text e-mail messages.  Say It! works with Windows 3.1, Windows  95
and  Mac0s7.5.  It is not necessary for the recipient to have the  Say
It!  program  to  hear the message.  Say It! is more  convenient  than
sending  traditional  text  e-mail messages  and  works  on  a  PC  or
Macintosh just like a recorder.  When you run Say It! you simply press
record  and Say It! compresses your voice into a .wav file.   You  can
then  play it back and make sure it says exactly what you want  it  to
say  and  then  send it, and the recipient receives the .wav  file  in
their  e-mail  program.  The recipient does not  need  any  additional
software  to hear your message.  The retail selling price is  expected
to be $14.95.

      Proficia expected to be available in March 1997, is an  Internet
audio handset.  This ergonomically designed handset features a privacy
mode that eliminates the feedback that is encountered by the use of  a
microphone and speakers.  The Proficia handset functions just  like  a
telephone  so  when  used with Digiphone Internet  Telephony  software
applications  conversations can be conducted  in  private  instead  of
being blasted through not so private speakers.  It is designed with an
optical  sensor that automatically switches from the privacy  mode  to
the   handsfree  mode  when  placed  on  the  desktop.   Speakers  and
microphone  can  be  replaced by a Proficia, a  single  sleek  compact
device  that  brings high quality audio and desktop convenience.   For
the  multimedia  enthusiast the Proficia speaker pass  through  switch
provides the option to use external speakers or the Proficia handset.

     Camelot   Internet  Access  Services  has  amended  its   pricing
structure  to  offer unlimited usage for $19.95 a  month  as  well  as
offering five free hours per month with a $2.50 per hour charge  after
that.

     The  Registrant also completed all necessary procedures  to  have
its common shares listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.  With effect
from  January  27, 1997, Registrant's common shares have been  granted
permission  from  the  Association  of  Frankfurt  Securities  Dealers
(Vereinigung Frankfurter Effektenhandler c.V.) to begin trading on the
Third  Market  Segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.   The  trading
symbol   will   be   "CAM"   with  the  German   Securities   -   code
(Wertpapierkennnummer) 890 544.  The Third Market Segment is  intended
for  foreign companies who are quoted on overseas stock exchanges  and
who  require stock trading facilities in Germany.  This offers another
venue  on  which Registrant's common shares may be traded by  European
investors.

           Subsequent to the period, the Registrant acquired the  U.S.
and  Canadian  rights  to  PCAMS  software  a  payphone  contract  and
management  system  software  from Meteor Technology  plc  ("Meteor").
Meteor  is  a U.K. public company listed on the Alternative Investment
Market   of  the  London  Stock  Exchange  and  is  the  international
distributor of DigiPhone.  The PCAMS software was originally developed
for  Meteor's   payphone  subsidiary and  now  has  been  refined  and
modified  to  provide  contract  and  management  capabilities  on   a
universal  basis.  The consideration for PCAMS was 2,500,000 pounds payable
by  the  redemption  of 2,000,000 pounds of loan stock owed  to  Camelot  by
Meteor  and 500,000 pounds by  the  issuance  by  Camelot  to  Meteor  of
3,238,400 restricted common shares.

       Management  continues  to  concentrate  the  majority  of   its
management  and financial resources on the development and  successful
marketing  of  Internet  related software  products  produced  by  its
subsidiary, Third Planet Publishing.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Net  cash used by operating activities for the nine months ended
January 31, 1997 was $5,386,002 compared with $4,615,351 in 1996.  Net
cash  used  by  investing  activities  was  $3,619,398  compared  with
$1,244,105  in  1996.  Net cash provided by financing  activities  was
$3,320,066 compared with $11,983,345 in 1996.  Cash and securities  of
$7,677,848 at January 31, 1997 compares with $12,157,884 at April  30,
1996.

     The Company's plan for capital expenditures relate principally to
the  purchase  of  property  and equipment  to  further  its  software
development  program.  Management believes that the anticipated  level
of revenue generated by the Company together with the present level of
cash  resources  available to the Company will be sufficient  for  its
needs.  Management believes that should the Company require additional
cash  resources, it can raise additional resources from  the  sale  of
Common  and Preferred Stock and/or by incurring borrowing.  Management
is  aware that the Company has no long term corporate debt.  There are
no  known trends, demands, commitments, or events that would result in
or  that  is  reasonably likely to result in the  Company's  liquidity
increasing  or  decreasing in a material way other than the  potential
use of cash resources for investment in the Company's subsidiaries  in
the normal course of business.
