                Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                              (Unaudited)


NOTE 1 -     The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995, the
             statement of operations for the three and nine months ended
             December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the statement of cash flows for the
             nine months ended December 31, 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 December 31,
             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
             December 31, 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 nine months ended December 31, 1995 increased $825,600
(34%) from the same period in the prior year. Service bureau revenue increased
$915,250 (48%) while licensed software sales decreased $89,630 (17%). The
Company's recurring service bureau revenues increased by approximately $421,000
while equipment sales, associated with its service bureau operations, increased
by approximately $494,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 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 domestic billing services market
during the last year. The Company has completed its new generation billing
software and is currently BETA testing this software domestically and expects to
be BETA testing the software internationally during the quarter ending March 31,
1996. This new product offering should enable the Company to further penetrate
the billing services market. Until the Company is able to re-engineer its
telemanagement licensed software product, management does not expect much change
in its telemanagement 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 re-engineer its telemanagement 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 telemanagement licensed software product. The Company
anticipates completing its new licensed software product during the first
quarter of its next fiscal year.

  Cost of sales increased $485,950 (51%) for the nine months ended December 31,
1995 as compared to the prior year period. Cost of sales was 44% of sales for
the nine months ended December 31, 1995 as compared to 39% of sales for the
prior year period. Total equipment sales increased approximately $456,000 and
thereby substantially increased 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 Company's service bureau and licensed software revenues, the
overall profit margin has decreased.

<PAGE>

   Selling, general and administrative expenses (S, G & A) increased $143,520
(12%) for the nine months ended December 31, 1995. S, G & A was 42% of sales for
the nine months ended December 31, 1995 as compared to 51% of sales for the
prior year period. The Company has been marketing its legacy billing software in
the domestic marketplace. When compared to the prior year period the result has
been an increase in domestic marketing costs of approximately $90,000, inclusive
of an increase in commission expense associated with the growth in domestic
sales. Additionally the Company has invested approximately $185,000 during the
current fiscal year in its International Subsidiary based in the U.K., which
represents an increase of approximately $150,000 when compared to the same
period in the prior year. The investment has been twofold; (1) to provide market
research for development of the Company's billing software for the international
marketplace, and (2) to lay the groundwork for maximum market pentration upon
completion of the Company's international version of its billing software. As a
result of the Company investing these funds, it has positioned itself to begin
receiving revenues from the international market during its next fiscal year.
The Company has been able to partially offset these increases with a reduction
in legal fees of approximately $76,000 as a result of concluding certain
litigation during its last fiscal year. The Company has also been able to reduce
certain other S, G & A expenses to help offset the marketing effort it embarked
upon during this fiscal year. This has allowed the Company to allocate more of
its resources to this effort than it would have been able to otherwise.

   Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $140,640 (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 December 31, 1995 was $353,390, an increase of $117,270
from the March 31, 1995 working capital of $236,120. The working capital ratio
was 1.35 to 1 as of December 31, 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 Company's
operations, the Company has continued to invest in modernizing its proprietary
software products and equipment needs. The Company has used $50,000 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.
