                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (Unaudited)


NOTE 1 -  The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1995, the statement
          of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 1995
          and 1994, and the statement of cash flows for the six months ended
          September 30, 1995 and 1994 have been prepared by the Company without
          audit. In the opinion of management all adjustments necessary to
          present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and
          statement of cash flows at September 30, 1995 have been made. The
          results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily
          indicative of the results for the full year.

NOTE 2 -  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market determined
          principally by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Substantially
          all inventory consists of equipment purchased for resale and repair
          parts.

NOTE 3 -  The financial statements of CTI Data Solutions (International)
          Limited, a UK based wholly owned subsidiary, have been included in the
          consolidated financial statements and have been translated to U.S.
          dollars in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting
          Standards (SFAS) No.52, Foreign Currency Translation. Assets and
          liabilities are translated at current exchange rates in effect at the
          balance sheet date and stockholders' investment is translated at
          historical exchange rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the
          average exchange rate for the applicable period. Any resulting
          translation adjustments are made directly to a separate component of
          stockholders' equity.

NOTE 4 -  Income per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted
          average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Per
          share computations do not assume the exercise of stock options
          outstanding because such exercises would not be dilutive.

NOTE 5 -  Certain reclassifications have been made to the comparative September
          30, 1994 data to conform to the current years presentations.

ITEM 2

                      Management's Discussion and Analysis
                              or Plan of Operation

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Net sales for the six months ended September 30, 1995 increased $508,340
(31%) from the same period in the prior year. Service bureau revenue increased
$600,950 (49%) while licensed software sales decreased $92,610 (23%). The
Company's recurring service bureau revenues increased by approximately $263,000
while equipment sales, associated with its service bureau operations, increased
by approximately $338,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 as compared
to the same period in the prior year. These increases are the result of the
Company's marketing effort targeted towards the telemanagement billing services
market during the last year. The Company has completed its new generation
billing software and expects to be BETA testing this software both
internationally and domestically during the quarter ending December 31, 1995.
This new product offering should enable the Company to further penetrate the
billing services market. Until the Company is able to modernize its licensed
software product management does not expect much change in its licensed software
revenues. The revenues being generated by its current product are mainly the
result of recurring maintenance and renewal fees. The Company plans to modernize
its licensed software product upon successful testing of its billing software by
utilizing the billing software as the foundation. This should shorten the
development time required to finalize a new licensed software product. The
Company anticapates completing its new licensed software product by the end of
its current fiscal year.

     Cost of sales increased $326,110 (53%) for the six months ended September
30, 1995 as compared to the prior year period. Costs of sales was 44% percent of
sales for the six months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to 38% percent of
sales for the prior year period. Overall equipment sales increased approximately
$310,000 and thereby substantially increasing material costs as compared to the
prior year period. Production costs have increased in direct relation to the
rise in service bureau revenues. However due to the lower profit margin on
equipment sales versus the Companys' service bureau and licensed software
revenues the overall profit margin has decreased.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses (S, G & A) increased $85,120
(11%) for the six months ended September 30, 1995. S, G & A was 42% of sales for
the six months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to 50% of sales for the
prior year period. The Company has been aggressively marketing its
telemanagement billing software in both the international and domestic
marketplace resulting in an increase in costs of approximately $70,000 when
compared to the prior year period. As a result of this effort the Company has
been able to sign new customers and expects to start generating revenue from its
international division during the quarter ending March 31, 1996. Due to the
Company generating additional revenues its' commission expense has increased
approximately $40,000 as compared to the prior year period. The Company has been
able to partially offset these increases with a reduction in legal fees of
approximately $35,000 as a result of concluding certain litigation during its'
last fiscal year.

<PAGE>

     Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $94,010 (43%) from the same
period in the prior year. The reduction is primarily the result of some of the
Company's computer software and all of the Company's excess of cost over net
tangible assets of acquired business being fully amortized as of March 31, 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Working capital at September 30, 1995 was $286,490, an increase of $50,370
from the March 31, 1995 working capital of $236,120. The working capital ratio
was 1.27 to 1 as of September 30, 1995 and 1.22 to 1 as of March 31, 1995.
Working capital increased as a direct result of the cash that was provided from
current operations. As a result of the growing strength of the Companys'
operations, the Company has continued to invest in modernizing its proprietary
software products and equipment needs. The Company has used $24,000 of the
available $100,000 term loan which was established to permit equipment
purchases. As a result of the availability of these funds and the Company's
operations providing funds, management believes its working capital is adequate
to fund its operations for the foreseeable future.
