              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,
1997.

The  consolidated  financial statements include the  accounts  of  the
Company,  all  majority  owned subsidiaries  and  the  majority  owned
company,  Alexander Mark Investments (USA), Inc.  ("Alexander  Mark").
Alexander  Mark  is  the  majority owner  of  Meteor  Technology,  plc
("Meteor").   The  April 30, 1997 adjusted balance sheet  consolidates
numbers  from the April 30, 1997 Audited Financial Statements  of  the
Company,  the April 30, 1997 Audited Financial Statements of Alexander
Mark  and  the  May 31, 1997 adjusted Audited Financial Statements  of
Meteor.   Adjustments were made to eliminate intercompany transactions
and  for the conversion of Meteor's numbers from pounds to US Dollars.
Accumulated deficit increased by $828,000 which represents the portion
of  earning recognized in the first quarter that were not shown in the
April  30,  1997  balance sheet.The Meteor financial  presentation  is
based  on  the  accounting rules of the United Kingdom.   The  balance
sheet reflects adjustments to present financial statements per US GAAP
accounting rules.  The adjustments included presenting current  assets
first  on  the balance sheet, reclassing creditors payable due  within
one  year to the liability section from the current asset section  and
combining  reserve  amount and profit and loss account  into  retained
earnings.   The  assets  and liability amounts  were  not  changed.The
accounting  rules  of  the  United  Kingdom  only  require   financial
statements  of  public  companies to be published  every  six  months.
Meteor's  fiscal year end is May 31 and their last six  month  Interim
Financials were issued for November 30, 1996. The three month  results
for the period ending July 31, 1997 and 1996 include the published six
month results of Meteor for periods commencing on December 1, 1995 and
1996  and  ending on May 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively.The financial
statements  include  the  20  per  cent  minority  interest   in   the
outstanding  voting share capital of Alexander Mark not owned  by  the
Company.  Meteor's  financial statements were converted  from  British
Pounds  to  US  Dollars  based  on  US  accounting  guidelines.    The
conversion  rate  for  the balance sheet was based  on  the  published
exchange  rate at July 31, 1997 and April 30, 1997, one  pound  equals
$1.64  and $1.62, respectively.  The conversion used for the statement
of operations was based on an average exchange rate for the six months
ended  July  31, 1997 and 1996.  This conversion rate  was  one  pound
equals $1.65 for period ended May 31, 1997 and $1.53 for period  ended
May  31,  1996.

ITEM  2.      Management  Discussion  and  Analysis  of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The Company's revenue for the  quarter ended July 31, 1997 was $1,662,000
compared with $767,000 in the  comparable quarter of 1996.  
Net loss for  the  three  month period was $2,748,900 compared with a 
loss of for the previous year of $2,587,100   These results are due to 
the restructuring by  Meteor  of the  newly  acquired payphone business
in the United Kingdom and the continued expenditure by Third Planet on
the development of Internet products, primarily VideoTalk.  Further, a write 
down of $453,500  was made  by Meteor of the Digiphone UK distribution rights
to comply with UK accounting requirements.

VideoTalk  is  a  complete hardware and software  system  which,  when
connected  to  a multimedia PC, enables full duplex video conferencing
over  the Internet and over local and wide area networks.  It  uses  a
PCI  plug-and-play  add-in card that provides high quality  audio  and
video  while  achieving extremely low processor load.  VideoTalk  does
not   require  a  soundcard  or  a  video  capture  card,  and  allows
communication over the Internet with only a 28.8 Kbps modem.  The unit
includes  the VideoTalk card, a color video camera, a special  version
of  the  Proficia  telephony  handset,  and  both  the  VideoTalk  and
Digiphone 2.0 software. The consolidated balance sheets for the period
show  stockholders' equity of $4,508,400 compared with $5,378,500  for
the financial year ended April 30, 1997.  Total assets were $7,328,300
compared  with $8,244,300 for the comparable period.  The decrease  in
stockholders'  equity  and  total assets  was  due  to  the  operating
loss.Management   continues  to  concentrate  the  majority   of   its
management  and financial resources on the development and  successful
marketing of Internet related software and hardware products  produced
by   its  subsidiary,  Third  Planet  Publishing,  and  continues   to
anticipate  that its principal revenue and profitability will  emanate
from  these  hardware and software products.  As previously announced,
the  Company has commenced negotiations with major Original  Equipment
Manufacturers to license its technology.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Net cash used by operating
activities for the three months ended July 31, 1997 was $1,274,900
compared with $2,368,900 in 1996.  Net cash used by investing
activities was $426,900 compared with $1,950,900 in 1996.  Net cash
used by financing activities was $40,700 compared with net cash
provided of $2,246,400 in 1996.  Cash and securities of $2,370,800
compares with $4,495,400 at April 30, 1997.  The Company's plans for
capital expenditures relate principally to the purchase of property
and equipment to further its hardware and software development
program.  Management believes that its Internet products and its
payphone operations will generate its principal revenues and cash flow
for the Company during the next twelve months.  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.  However, Management
believes that additional cash resources may be needed if the
anticipated level of revenues are not achieved, or are not achieved
timely.  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.<PAGE>
