                        (Unaudited)

consolidated financial statements included in the Annual
Report on Form 10-K of Total-Tel USA Communications, Inc. and
Subsidiaries (the Company) for the fiscal year ended January

necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three month period ended April 30,

    TOTAL-TEL USA COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -----------------------------------------------------------
               AND RESULT OF OPERATIONS
               ------------------------

Results of Operations

Net sales were approximately $10,516,000 for the first
quarter of the current fiscal year, an increase of
approximately $5,101,000 or 94.2%, as compared to the first
quarter of the prior fiscal year.   This increase was
attributable to continued, intensive sales and marketing
efforts by the Registrant, and an expanded agency sales
network.  However, given the competitive climate in the long
distance telephone industry, there can be no assurance that
this rate of growth will continue throughout the remainder of
the current fiscal year.

For the current fiscal quarter, the telephone service billed
approximately 71,501,000 minutes of calling as compared to
approximately 36,566,000 minutes of calling for the
comparable quarter of the prior year, resulting in an
increase of approximately 34,935,000 minutes, or 96.1%.  The
average revenue per minute decreased slightly in the current
fiscal quarter as compared to the prior fiscal year's
quarter, and was primarily attributable to the intense
competition faced by the registrant.

Cost of sales increased approximately $3,627,000 or 96.1% to
approximately $7,401,000 for the current quarter. The
increase was slightly unfavorable in relation to the 94.2%
increase in sales. While the Registrant was able to continue
to negotiate lower line rates from several of its major
suppliers the gross margin for the current quarter decreased
to approximately 29.6% as compared to approximately 30.3% for
the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.  This decrease in
the gross margin is reflective of the lower charge per minute
billed by the Registrant which was approximately $.0015 per
minute lower for the current fiscal quarter compared to the
same quarter of the prior fiscal year.

Selling, general and administrative expense for the current
first quarter was approximately $2,546,000, an increase of
approximately $1,138,000, or 80.8%, as compared to the first
quarter of the prior fiscal year due primarily to increased
sales and administrative salaries of $477,000, sales
commissions of $370,000, provision for bad debts of $72,000
and data processing services of $42,000, all of which can be
attributed to the increased sales volume in the quarter.

Earnings per share from continuing operations increased to
$.23 per share for the current quarter as compared to $.10
per share for the quarter ended April 30, 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At April 30, 1995, the Registrant had working capital of
$5,035,064, an increase of $3,664 as compared to January 31,
1995.  The ratio of current assets to current liabilities at
April 30, 1995 was 1.7:1, as compared to 1.9:1 at  January
31, 1995. The slight increase in working capital at April 30,
1995 was attributable to  increases in (i) cash of
approximately $679,000 (ii) accounts receivable of $877,000
and (iii) prepaid expenses and other current assets of
approximately $30,000; a decrease in other current and
accrued liabilities of $134,000, partially offset by an
increase in accounts payable of approximately $1,575,000, a
decrease in investments available for sale of approximately
$120,000 and an increase in salaries and wages payable of
$15,000. The Registrant has continued to maintain a strong
liquidity position.

The increase in cash of approximately $679,000 was the result
primarily of earnings of approximately $366,000, an increase
in accounts payable of approximately $1,438,000, non-cash
charges of approximately $360,000 and maturities of
investments available for sale of approximately $152,000,
partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of
approximately $877,000, the purchase of property and
equipment for approximately $508,000 and an increase in
prepaid expenses and other current assets of approximately
$165,000.

Capital expenditures during the first three months of fiscal
year 1996 totaled approximately $503,000 and were financed
from funds provided by operations.  Approximately $258,000 of
these  expenditures were applicable to the switching system
to maintain the speed and quality of the network and $58,000
was expended for equipment at customer's locations.  In
addition, approximately $144,000 was expended for the local
area network in the Little Falls, New Jersey office to
improve management information systems and operating
efficiencies. The balance of capital expenditures was for
furniture and fixtures.

Capital expenditures for the balance of fiscal year 1996 are
estimated at approximately $1,650,000. Approximately $500,000
of these expenditures are planned for upgrading the Company's
switching equipment  which should substantially increase its
calling capabilities. Approximately $500,000 is proposed to
be expended for office improvements, and furniture and
equipment in connection with the expansion of the main office
and sales office location in Little Falls, New Jersey and its
research facility in Belleville, New Jersey. In addition,
approximately $600,000 is expected to be invested in new data
processing equipment and continued development of the
Company's local area network.  These expenditures would be
financed through a combination of funds from operations and
current working capital.

As of April 30, 1995, the Registrant had no short or long-
term bank lines of credit and during the current fiscal
quarter had no new bank borrowings. The Company is currently
in the process of negotiating a line of credit for $500,000
with a major New Jersey bank.
