ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -----------------------------
        The interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared by
SISCOM, Inc. ("SISCOM" or the "Company") and, in the opinion of management,
reflect all material adjustments which are necessary to a fair presentation of
the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim
periods presented.  Except as otherwise noted, such adjustments consisted only
of normal recurring items.  Certain information and footnote disclosure made
in the Company's last annual report on Form 10-KSB have been condensed or
omitted for the interim statements.  These statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 1997.  The results of the
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results which may be
expected for any other interim period or for the full year.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
- --------------------------
        In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report contains
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are thus prospective.  The forward-looking
statements contained herein are subject to certain risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in
the forward-looking statements.  Factors that might cause such a difference
include, but are not limited to, competitive pressures, changing economic
conditions, those discussed in the Section entitled "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and other
factors, some of which will be outside the control of the Company.  Readers
are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements,
which reflect management's analysis only as of the date hereof.  The Company
undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements
to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof.  Readers
should refer to and carefully review the information in future documents the
Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
     (Information for the Period Subsequent to June 30, 1997 is Unaudited)


1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES:
     ------------------------------------------

     NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - SISCOM, Inc.
     (SISCOM) was incorporated in the State of Colorado on September 29, 1982.
     SISCOM currently operates as a software development company that provides
     computer based products and services to the electronic media and sports
     industry.  In 1995, SISCOM formed a new subsidiary called Event Marketing
     Systems International, Inc. ("EMSI, Inc."). Operations of EMSI were
     insignificant for the fiscal year 1997 and subsequent periods.  The
     consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SISCOM and
     EMSI.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
     eliminated in consolidation.

     UNAUDITED INFORMATION - The balance sheet as of September 30, 1997 and
     the statements of operations for the three months ended September 30,
     1997 and 1996 were taken from the Company's books and records without
     audit. However, in the opinion of management, such information includes
     all adjustments (consisting only of normal accruals) which are necessary
     to properly reflect the financial position of the Company as of September
     30, 1997 and the results of operations for the three months ended
     September 30, 1997 and 1996.  The results of operations for the period
     ended September 30, 1997 will not necessarily be indicative of the
     operating results for the full year.

     INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE - The Company has elected to incorporate by
     reference the financial statement disclosures as included in its
     previously filed Form10-KSB.  Reference should be made in reviewing this
     10-QSB to the disclosures contained in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the
     fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
        The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this
report.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 (UNAUDITED)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
During quarter ended September 30, 1997, SISCOM generated revenue of $520,100
with resulting net income of $53,800 as compared to revenue of $217,200 and
net loss of $21,800 during the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.


REVENUE

The following table outlines the Company's revenue mix over the last two
fiscal quarters.

     Software Services    104,000     20      110,600     51 
                        ---------   -----   ---------    ----
     Total Revenue      $ 520,100    100%   $ 300,800    100%
                        =========    ====   =========    ====
</TABLE>

Product Sales include the sale of proprietary software and computer hardware
to the sports industry, broadcast and cable media markets. The Company's
principal products are CDSS(-TM-) and live logging, along with  video logging
and retrieval software to the sports industries, and NewsPro(-Registered Mark-
), an electronic newsroom management system, for the broadcast industry.

Quarter ended September 30, 1997 software sales revenue increased by $178,400
from the quarter ended September 30, 1996.  The increase in sales was a result
of the Company's ability to combine CDSS with its other software products
complemented with FAST hardware.  With increased sales to NBA teams, the
current year's basketball season provided the Company with the ability to
establish itself in the sports industry  as a known technology provider within
the NBA.  The end product and result is to provide NBA teams and their coaches
and professional staff with a powerful and comprehensive coaching tool. 

SISCOM's hardware sales increased from approximately  $37,000 in the quarter
ended September 30, 1996 to $169,100 during the quarter ended September 30,
1997.  This increase of $132,100 directly relates to the sale of the Company's
proprietary software, as noted above.  In many cases the Company combines its
software products with hardware purchased and adapted specifically for the
software and the customers' needs.  

Gross margins on hardware have traditionally been significantly less than the
gross margin on software and services.  Management believes that certain
hardware provider relationships will offer the Company both access to leading
technology and leverage to expand the sale of the Company's software products
and services along with hardware components. 

The absolute dollar amount of  maintenance revenue decreased approximately
$6,600, in comparison with the same quarter of the prior year. The
proportionate revenue from NewsPro(-Registered Mark-) maintenance decreased
from 51% in the quarter ended September 30, 1996 to 20% for the same quarter
of the current fiscal year.  Although NewsPro(-Registered Mark-) maintenance
revenue remains an important component of software services, the Company
believes NewsPro(-Registered Mark-) maintenance revenue will continue to
decrease as a percentage of total software sales and service revenue. 

Management believes that SISCOM has consciously served a niche market of
specialized customers.  Because of its minimal marketing efforts, the Company
has historically had to rely upon revenues from a few substantial
installations to large customers.  This reliance has resulted from the
Company's limited working capital rather that any limitations in the scope of
the potential markets and customers for the Company's products.  However,
prospectively, management believes that the Company is not dependent on any
one customer as it continues to identify, develop and market solutions for
existing and new opportunities.


COSTS AND EXPENSES
- ------------------
The following table outlines the cost of sales components for the quarters
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.

Direct labor and materials        57,500     21       37,500      34
Software Amortization             57,200     21       43,100      39
                               ---------    ----   ---------    ----
  Total Cost of Sales          $ 270,100    100%   $ 110,500    100%
                               =========    ====   =========    ====
</TABLE>

Cost of sales and services includes components for hardware sales, direct
labor and materials used in the manufacture of software, and other expenses
incurred to generate revenue.  For the quarter ended September 30, 1997, cost
of sales and services was 52% of total revenue compared with 51% for the same
period in the prior year.  Gross margins were 48% in the first quarter of the
current fiscal year and 49% in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.

While the gross margin has remained relatively consistent, SISCOM has changed
its sales mix between hardware and software over the last few years, with
hardware sales increasing as a percentage of total sales.  This increase in
hardware sales is primarily because the proprietary software sold to the
sports industry includes a corresponding hardware component.  Although,
software and related services have consistently had a substantially higher
margin than hardware over the years, the current sports related combination of
software and hardware not only appears to be a profitable mix, but provides
the Company with an opportunity to carve out an important niche for itself in
the sports industry.

The cost of direct labor and materials includes employee hours spent on
supporting the Company's products as well as any materials and supplies
directly used in the process.  The total cost of direct labor increased
approximately $20,000 or 53% between quarter ended September 30, 1996 and
September 30, 1997.  This increase between the quarters is a direct result of
increased sales and the corresponding direct materials and labor necessary to
support those sales. 

Software amortization costs have increased from $43,100 to $57,200.  Software
creation costs have a direct relationship with the amount of time and effort
spent by programmers dedicated to working on the creation and enhancement of
the Company's proprietary software.  Accordingly, the amortization of those
costs increase proportionately with the addition of new software and
enhancement of existing software products.  To meet growing sales and software
needs, the Company added one full time programmer subsequent to the end of the
prior year first quarter.   This has resulted in increased additions to
capitalized software creation costs and  an increase in the related
amortization of those costs.

Operating, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September
30, 1997 increased by approximately $67,200 or 67%  from the quarter ended 
September 30, 1996.  The majority of the increase was due to a net increase in
personnel and resulting payroll tax expense and employee benefits.

Depreciation expense was $28,000 and $11,900 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The increase is attributable to
sizable additions over the last year to property and equipment, which
increases were needed in order to upgrade the Company's in house software
development capabilities. 


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 (UNAUDITED) COMPARED TO
JUNE 30, 1997
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
SISCOM's current working capital surplus, which represents current assets
minus current liabilities, decreased during the three months ended September
30, 1997 to $144,700 from $157,500 at year end.  

The Company's primary uses of cash and working capital during the first
quarter were purchases of fixed assets and inventory, of $70,700 and $23,700
respectively.  This increase in capital assets included additions and upgrades
to the computer equipment used in software development and customer support. 
Inventory additions represented purchases of equipment for work in progress on
existing purchase orders and contracts.  In addition, the Company continues to
use working capital to add to their capitalized software creation costs.  For
the first quarter capitalized software additions totaled approximately
$81,000.  

Sources of working capital were increases in unearned revenue of $91,400, and
accrued payables and liabilities of $147,600.  Such increases in current
liabilities are typically the result of timing.  In the case of payables the
increase is related to purchases to fulfill ongoing contracts and purchase
orders.  The increase in unearned revenue is attributable to the timing of
annual renewals on maintenance contracts, and reserving for unearned income on
progress billings.  Furthermore, the Company generated net income from
operations  of $53,800 over the first quarter.

Management believes that inflation has not had a material impact on its
results of operations.
