                     Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                                    (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 -  The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1997, 
          the statement of operations for the nine and three months 
          ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the statement of 
          cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 
          and 1996 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, 
          1997 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 -  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 4 -  Certain reclassifications have been made to the 
          comparative December 31, 1996 data to conform to the 
          current years presentations. 

NOTE 5 -  On August 11, 1997, John Perri ("Perri"), the former 
          President of the Company's CTI Soft-Com Inc. subsidiary 
          and Soft-Com Inc., filed suit in the United States 
          District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania 
          against the Company, CTI  Data Solutions (USA), Inc., 
          Anthony P. Johns and Mark Daugherty in connection with 
          the Company's termination of Mr. Perri's employment on 
          July 28, 1997 and the Company's acquisition of Soft-Com 
          Inc. in January 1997.  On November 11, 1997, the parties 
          to this litigation entered into a settlement agreement, 
          pursuant to which, among things; (i) no party admitted 
          liability to another party; (ii) the Company agreed to 
          pay an aggregate of $100,000 payable in monthly 
          installments of $5,000 and issue options to purchase 
          100,000 shares of common stock of the Company to Perri to 
          resolve the litigation and buy out the remainder of 
          Perri's employment contract . The options issued as part 
          of this settlement were in substitution for the options 
          granted under his employment agreement: (iii) Perri filed 
          a stipulation terminating the litigation with prejudice; 
          and, (iv) the parties released each other from any 
          further liability.

NOTE 6 -  On February 2, 1998, the Company acquired the assets and 
          substantially all the liabilities of Siemens' Databit 
          business division.  Databit is engaged in the business of 
          the design, development, marketing, distribution, 
          licensing, maintenance and support of services.  The 
          purchase price was paid by CTI Data Solutions 
          (International) Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the 
          Company, in the form of a $2,000,000. Secured Promissory 
          Note.  The Note calls for payment of annual interest of 
          ten percent (10%) quarterly in arrears until February 2, 
          2001 (the Maturity Date). The Company executed a Guaranty 
          (the "Guaranty") in favor of Siemens to guarantee CTI 
          International's performance under the Note. Siemens was 
          also granted a security interest in the assets of Databit 
          purchased by CTI International, pursuant to a Debenture 
          (the "Debenture") executed by CTI International in favor 
          of Siemens, and all of the assets of the Company, 
          including the Company's ownership interest in each of the 
          Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, pursuant to a 
          Security Agreement (the "Security Agreement") and a 
          Collateral Pledge Agreement (the "Pledge Agreement") 
          executed by the Company in favor of Siemens.

ITEM 2
- ------

           Management's Discussion and Analysis
                   or Plan of Operation

Results of Operations
- -----------------------------

  Net sales for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 decreased $343,780 
(14%) from the same period in the prior year. Included in this reduction was 
a decline in the Company's sales associated with its telemanagement service 
bureau products of approximately $288,970 (25%) from the same period in the 
prior year. Sales associated with the Company's billing products decreased 
approximately $474,130 (48%) from the same period in the prior year. This 
reduction was the result of a major customer cancellation in September 1996. 
Sales associated with the Company's telemanagement licensed software products 
increased approximately $419,320 (107%). This increase was due to the 
acquisition of Soft-Com Inc. in January 1997.

  Cost of sales increased $38,400 (4%) for the nine months ended December 31, 
1997 as compared to the prior year period. Cost of sales was 53% of sales for 
the nine months ended December 31, 1997 as compared to 44% of sales for the 
prior year period. The Company reduced its ongoing cost of sales in the third 
quarter of fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 as the result of the loss of a 
major customer, however these costs were offset by the costs associated with 
the Company's purchase of Soft-Com Inc in January 1997.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses (S, G & A) decreased $4,360 
for the nine months ended December 31, 1997. S, G & A was 60% of sales for 
the nine months ended December 31, 1997 as compared to 52% of sales for the 
prior year period. The Company has maintained and will continue to maintain 
tight control over its S, G, & A expenses as it continues to market its 
products.

  Other expense for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 is the result of 
the Company having settled the lawsuit filed by John Perri against the 
Company, CTI Data Solutions (USA) Inc., Anthony P. Johns and Mark Daugherty. 
The lawsuit was in connection with the Company's termination of Mr. Perri's 
employment and the Company's acquisition of Soft-Com Inc.

  Other income for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 is the result of 
North American Venture Capital Fund ("NAVCF") assuming part of the debt which 
was acquired in the acquisition of Soft-Com Inc. NAVCF was a significant 
stockholder of Soft-Com Inc. prior to the acquisition of Soft-Com Inc. by the 
Company.

  The Company continues to market its new software products Neptune and 
Unity. The Neptune billing software was completed as of the fiscal year ended 
March 31, 1997. The Company continues to install the smaller customers since 
March 1997 and has installed Neptune at a large customer site. Minimal 
revenues started to be generated from this  larger customer site in the 
second quarter of this fiscal year. The Company expects this larger customer 
to begin growing in size and therefore revenues to the Company during the 
coming months. Unity sales have been received and installed beginning in the 
last quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -----------------------------------------

  Working capital at December 31, 1997 was a deficit of $736,160, an increase 
in the deficit of $358,410 from the March 31, 1997 deficit of $377,750. The 
working capital ratio was .52 to 1 as of December 31, 1997 and .70 to 1 as of 
March 31, 1997. Working capital decreased as the result of the Company's 
operating activities utilizing cash. The Company utilized the line of credit 
it has with the bank to fund its  operations for the six months ending 
September 30, 1997. The Company's bank has extended the maturity of the 
Company's $200,000 revolving line of credit  to March 31, 1998. During the 
quarter ended September 30,1997 the Company reduced its cost structure by way 
of a reduction in its workforce. On November 11, 1997  the Company settled an 
outstanding lawsuit with the former President of its  CTI Soft-Com Inc., 
subsidiary.   As part of the settlement the Company removed the restriction, 
that was part of the acquisition agreement with Soft-Com Inc., which 
prevented the closing of its New York office. As a result of this settlement 
the Company is in the process of  consolidating its New York operations into 
its Valley Forge operations to further reduce its cost structure and thus 
assist the Company in generating cash from operations.
