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:
     -----------------------------------------
     General - 
     -------
     Satellite Information Systems Company (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, the
     Company formed a new subsidiary, called Event Marketing Systems
     International, Inc. (EMSI).  Operations of EMSI were insignificant in
     1996 and 1997. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
     of SISCOM and EMSI.  SISCOM and EMSI are collectively referred to as the
     Company.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
     been eliminated in consolidation.

     Unaudited Information - 
     ---------------------
     The balance sheet as of December 31, 1997 and the statements of
     operations for the three months and six months ended December 31, 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 recurring accruals) which are
     necessary to properly reflect the financial position of the Company as of 
     December 31, 1997 and the results of operations for the six months ended
     December 31, 1997 and 1996.  The results of operations for the period
     ended December 31, 1997 will not necessarily be indicative of the
     operating results for the full year.

     Unearned Revenue -  
     ----------------
     Unearned revenue primarily represents payments received on deferred
     maintenance contracts that has not been earned.  These amounts are
     amortized into revenue on a monthly basis, using the straight-line
     method, over the life of the contract.

     Incorporation by Reference - 
     --------------------------
     The Company has elected to incorporate by reference the financial
     statement disclosures as included in its previously filed Form 10-KSB. 
     Reference should be made in reviewing this 10-QSB to the disclosures
     contained in the Form 10-KSB dated September 2, 1997.

     Certain disclosures related to the current period financial information
     are included below.


2.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
     -----------------   
     Subsequent to the period ending December 31, 1997 the Company entered
     into agreements with two investors, who purchased through a sale of
     Series A-1 convertible preferred stock, 625,000 shares each, for a total
     investment of $500,000.  The two new investors are subsidiaries of the
     parent company of the current holder of the 4,000,000 shares of Series A
     convertible preferred stock.  The new shares carry the same rights and
     preferences as the previously issued Series A preferred stock, as
     disclosed in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB.

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 DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THE
THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 (UNAUDITED)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the quarter ended December 31, 1997, SISCOM generated revenue of
$323,700 with a resulting net loss of $(74,900) as compared to revenue of 
$298,400 and net income of $32,500 during the same quarter of the previous
fiscal year.


Revenue

The following table outlines the Company's revenue mix for the second quarters
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 respectively.

       Product Sales
          Software sales           $102,200  32%    $115,000    39%
          Hardware sales            39,500   12       75,800    25 
       Software Services            98,800   31      107,600    36 
       Other Revenue                83,200   26            -     -

       Total Revenue               $323,700 100%    $298,400   100%

</TABLE>

Product sales include the sale of proprietary software and hardware to the
broadcast, cable and sports industries.  The Company's principal product
offerings include NewsPro (-Registered Mark-), an electronic newsroom
management system and CDSS (-TM-), a statistical analysis system for
professional basketball.  In addition to CDSS (-TM-), Video Logging and
Retrieval, NonLinear Video Editing, and MPEG Video are available for the
professional sports industry.

Software revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 decreased $12,800, or
about 11%,  when compared with the quarter ended December 31, 1996. 

SISCOM's hardware sales decreased from $75,800 in the quarter ended December
31, 1996 to $39,500 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997. Hardware is
generally sold in connection with the Company's proprietary software.  Along
with a slight decrease in software sales from the prior year quarter,  a
decrease in the hardware sales would be anticipated as well.  However,
hardware sales should be evaluated in connection with other revenue.  During
the current quarter the Company entered into a strategic relationship with a
customer whereby the Company gave up software products and support, along with
hardware in return for official sponsorship with an NBA team.  The income from
this transaction is included in other revenue, with a corresponding
advertising expense recorded in other costs of sales.

Gross margin on hardware has traditionally been significantly less than the
gross margin on software and services.  Management believes that future
hardware provider relationships and sales will offer the Company both access
to leading technology and leverage to expand the sale of the Company's
software products and services.  Although, the Company will continue to
provide hardware as a part the software sale to its customers, the focus is to
direct resources toward continued development and sales of its higher margin
software products.

Management believes that SISCOM has consciously served a niche market of
specialized customers. Historically, the Company has had to rely on revenues
from a few substantial installations to large customers such as the NBA.  This
reliance has resulted from the Company's limited working capital rather than
any limitations in the scope of the potential markets and customers for the
Company's products.  However, the Company has added two employees dedicated to
sales since December of 1996, and thereby increased its focus on strategic
marketing.  As the Company continues to identify, develop and market new
solutions for existing and new opportunities, management believes that the
Company's dependence on revenues from a few large customers will continue to
decrease.

Software services consist primarily of NewsPr (-Registered Mark-) maintenance
revenue. Software services revenue decreased from $107,600 for the quarter
ended December 31, 1996 to $98,800 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997. 
As the Company continues to experience growth from its sales to the sports
industry, maintenance support revenue has decreased as a percentage of overall
revenue.  The Company believes that the market potential for its proprietary
software in the sports industries has supported this strategic redirecting of
resources. However, NewsPro (-Registered Mark-) maintenance revenue still
remains an important component of software services at 31% of total revenue
for the current quarter.

Costs and Expenses

The following table outlines the cost of sales components for the quarters
ended December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996.

       Software Amortization        61,400   27       53,300    38 
       Other                        47,200   21            -    -  
                                   --------  ----   --------   ----
          Total Cost of Sales      $224,100 100%    $224,100   100%

</TABLE>

Cost of sales and services includes components for hardware sales, direct
labor and materials used in the manufacture of software, amortization of
capitalized software costs, and other expenses incurred in the generation of
revenue. 

For the quarter ended December 31, 1997, cost of sales and services was 69% of
total revenue compared with 47% for the same period in the prior year.  Gross
margins were 31% in the second quarter and  53% in the same quarter of the
prior fiscal year.

As noted in the revenue discussion, hardware sales should be reviewed in
connection with other revenue for the reasons stated above.  Similarly, it is
appropriate to review hardware costs and other costs of sales in conjunction
with total hardware sales and other revenue.

The cost of direct labor and materials includes employee hours spent contract
programming, where applicable, installation and supporting the Company's
products as well as any materials and supplies directly used in the process. 
The total cost of direct labor increased $9,800 or 27% between quarter ended
December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1997.  
 
There was an increase in capitalizable costs of approximately $66,000 between
the quarters ended December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996.   The net increase
of capitalized assets between the quarters was the result of the addition of a
full time senior programmer dedicated to software development, subsequent to
December 31, 1996. Management anticipates continued emphasis on software
development as it responds to the ongoing requests of existing and new
customers across markets.  Generally, the Company amortizes software
development costs straight line over three (3) years.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THE SIX
MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 (UNAUDITED)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the six months ended December 31, 1997, SISCOM generated revenue of
$843,800 with a resulting net loss of ($21,100) as compared to revenue of
$515,600 and a net income of $55,000 during the same period of the previous
fiscal year.

       Total Revenue               $843,800 100%    $515,600   100%

</TABLE>

For the six months ended December 31, 1997 software revenue increased by
$164,600 in comparison to the six months ended December 31, 1996.  This
increase in software revenue was the result of increased sales of the
Company's principal products, CDSS (-TM-) and live logging, along with video
logging and retrieval software to the sports industries, and specifically to
NBA teams.

SISCOM's hardware sales increased from $112,800 for the six months ended
December 31, 1996 to $208,600 for the six months ended December 31, 1997.  The
increase in hardware sales was primarily a result of the Company's ability to
combine CDSS (-TM-) with its other software products complemented with FAST
hardware.  With increased sales to NBA teams, this current year's basketball
season has provided the Company with the ability to establish itself in the
sports industry as a known technology provider within the NBA.

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.

Maintenance revenue decreased by approximately $9,600 in comparison with the
same quarter of the prior year.  As the Company continues to experience growth
from its sales to the sports industry, maintenance support revenue has
decreased as a percentage of overall revenue. Although NewsPro (-Registered
Mark-) maintenance revenue remains an important component of software
services, at 24% of total revenue, the Company believes NewsPro (-Registered
Mark-)  maintenance revenue will continue to decrease as a percentage of total
software sales and service revenue.

</TABLE>

For the period ended December 31, 1997, cost of sales and services was 59% of
total revenue compared with 49% for the same period in the prior year.  Gross
margins were 41% for the six months ended December 31, 1997 and 51% for the
same six month period of the prior fiscal year.  The gross margin decrease for
the current year is the result of the following:  increased direct labor
costs, increased amortization costs due to an increase in capitalized software
(as discussed above), and other costs, i.e. advertising expense and reimbursed
expenses.

The cost of direct labor and materials includes employee hours spent contract
programming, where applicable, installation and supporting the Company's
products as well as any materials and supplies directly used in the process. 
The total cost of direct labor increased $23,300 between the six months ended
December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1997.  This increase in direct labor
between periods was primarily due to the replacement of one support employee,
lost at the previous fiscal year end and replaced subsequent to December 31,
1996. 

Operating general and administrative expenses were up $83,800 for the six
months ended December 31, 1997 from the same period in the prior year.  The
increase that SISCOM has experienced in the first six months is primarily due
to a net increase in salaries and related payroll tax expense and employee
benefits as a result of additional sales personnel.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - DECEMBER 31, 1997 (UNAUDITED) COMPARED TO
JUNE 30, 1997
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SISCOM's current working capital surplus, which represents current assets
minus current liabilities decreased during the six months ended December 31,
1997 to $21,500 from $157,500 at year end.

The Company's primary uses of cash and working capital for the six months were
purchases of fixed assets and inventory of $142,100 and $30,100 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 its capitalized software creation costs.  For
the six months capitalized software additions totaled approximately $157,000.

Sources of working capital were increases in unearned revenue of $27,900, and
accrued payables of $90,600.  Such increases in current payables are typically
the result of timing.  In the case of accounts payables, the increase was
related to purchases fulfilling 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.

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