ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

For the three month and six month periods ended October 31, 1996, Communications
World International, Inc. ("CommWorld" or the "Company") reported net income of
$51,019 and $82,080, respectively, as compared to net losses of $449,542 and
$665,387 for the comparable periods ended October 31, 1995. Total revenue for
the quarter ended October 31, 1996 was $3,963,275, an increase of $811,264 or
25.7%, compared to total revenue of $3,152,011 for the quarter ended October 31,
1995. For the six month period ended October 31, 1996, total revenue was
$7,706,094, an increase of $1,284,516 or 20% , compared to the six month period
ended October 31, 1995. The gross margin percentage on total revenue was 32.2%
for the quarter ended October 31, 1996 compared to 30% for the quarter ended
October 31, 1995. For the six month periods ended October 31, 1996 and 1995, the
gross margin percentages on total revenue were 33.9% and 29.5%, respectively.
The increase in the gross margin percentage is attributable to the higher
percentage of direct equipment and service sales. These sales have  higher
profit margins than the equipment sales to franchises. Net income before
depreciation and amortization was $153,771 for the quarter ended October 31,
1996 and $288,670 for the six months then ended compared to net losses before
depreciation and amortization of $354,483 and $477,110 for the same periods
ended October 31, 1995.

Revenue from direct equipment and service sales for the quarter ended October
31, 1996 was $2,550,112, an increase of $921,549 or 56% from the quarter ended
October 31, 1995. For the six months ended October 31, 1996 revenue from direct
equipment and service sales was $4,672,814, an increase of  $1,666,660 or 55%
from the six month period ended October 31, 1995. The gross margin percentage on
this revenue fluctuates depending on the mix of product sold during the period
but averages approximately 45%. For the six months ended October 31, 1996 and
1995, the gross margin percentage was 44% and 46%, respectively.

Revenue from equipment and related service sales to franchises increased for the
quarter ended October 31, 1996 by $25,150 compared to the  quarter ended October
31, 1995. For the six month period ended October 31, 1996, this revenue
decreased by $235,797 compared to the same period of the prior year. The gross
margin realized on this revenue was $163,261 and $354,066, for the three and six
month periods ended October 31, 1996, respectively. These gross margins were
higher than realized in the same periods of the prior year due to increased
discounts realized from a major supplier effective July 1, 1995 and due to one
time charges against this revenue in October, 1995. The gross margin percentage
on this revenue was 12.4% and 12.6% for the three and six month periods ended
October 31, 1996.  These margins are consistent with management's expectations.

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended October 31, 1996
decreased by $153,906 compared to the quarter ended October 31, 1995. For the
six month period ended October 31, 1996, general and administrative expenses
decreased by $56,665 compared to the six month period ended October 31, 1995.
For the three month period ended October 31, 1995, there were non recurring
charges to general and administrative expenses of approximately $72,000 which
affects the comparability of these

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - CONTINUED

expenses for these periods. Without the non recurring charges, general and
administrative expenses for the six months ended October 31, 1996, were less
than 1% higher than the same period of the prior year.

Effective September 30, 1996, the Company acquired the assets of its franchise
in Tucson, Arizona (CWT). The operations of CWT will be continued as part of the
operations of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, CommWorld of Phoenix, Inc.
The Company acquired inventory of approximately $41,000 and fixed assets with a
net book value of approximately $21,000. The Company issued 74,222 shares of
common stock , valued at the market price of the common stock of $1.125 per
share on the date of the letter of intent, 83,500 shares of Series G Preferred
Stock, valued at the par value of $1.00 per share, and 133,000 shares of Series
F Preferred Stock, valued at the par value of $1.00 per share.

The Company incurred operating losses for the years ended April 30, 1996 and
1995 and in prior periods.  The Company's operating losses were financed
principally by the Company's major supplier. Management plans to improve the 
Company's cash flow by increasing revenue, both from national accounts and
Company-owned outlets, improving gross profit margins and containing general and
administrative expenses, in addition to attempting to obtain additional debt or
equity financing. The Company has also taken measures to improve its working
capital position.

The Company had working capital at October 31, 1996 of  $389,286 compared to
working capital at April 30, 1996 of $206,374.  The improved working capital
position at October 31, 1996 results from the net income for the six months then
ended along with non cash expenses of depreciation and amortization of $206,590.
Also, in September 1996, the Company completed a conversion of certain notes
payable in the aggregate principal amount of $169,819 into 169,819 shares of
Series F Preferred Stock. Approximately $75,000 of these notes had been recorded
as a current liability. Liquidity of the Company was also improved during the
quarter ended October 31, 1996, by changes in the  terms of the line of credit
to the Company. The line of credit, which is collateral based against accounts
receivable and inventory, was increased by the lender from $1 million to $1.5
million and the annual interest rate was reduced from 10% over the prime rate to
7.5% over the prime rate.

The Company believes that it has sufficient financial resources available to
meet its short-term working capital needs. The ability of the Company to
continue as a going concern is dependent upon the realization of management's
plans. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully
implement its plans and therefore finance its operations over the longer term.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been
prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. These unaudited
interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements  are those of
Communications World International, Inc. (the "Company" or "CommWorld") and its
subsidiaries, CommWorld of Phoenix, Inc., CommWorld of Seattle, Inc., Digital
Telecom, Inc. and CommWorld National Capitol Area, Inc.  All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation. The accounting policies followed
by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the Company's consolidated financial
statements included in the Company's April 30, 1996  Form 10-KSB filing.
Operating results for the three and six months ended October 31, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
April 30, 1997.

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No.
121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of, effective  the beginning of the current year. Based
on current circumstances, the effect of the adoption was not material.

In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, which provides an alternative to APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees, in accounting for stock-based compensation issued
to employees.  The Statement allows for a fair value based method of accounting
for employee stock options and similar equity instruments. However, for
companies that continue to account for stock-based compensation arrangements
under Opinion No. 25, Statement No. 123 requires disclosure of the pro forma
effect on net income and earnings per share of its fair value based accounting
for those arrangements. The Company has elected not to adopt the recognition and
measurement provisions of the Statement; however, the required disclosures will

     ---------

The Company incurred operating losses for the years ended April 30, 1996 and
1995 and in prior periods. The Company's operating losses were financed
principally by the Company's major supplier.  Management plans to improve its
cash flow by increasing revenue, both from national accounts and Company-owned
outlets, improving gross profit margins and containing general and
administrative expenses, in addition to attempting to obtain additional debt or
equity financing.

The Company believes that it has sufficient financial resources available to
meet its short-term working capital needs. The ability of the Company to
continue as a going concern is dependent upon the realization of management's
plans. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully
implement its plans and therefore finance its operations over the longer term.
The accompanying  unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been
prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. These unaudited
interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

respects, with all applicable laws, rules, regulations or requirements of any
governmental authority, federal, state or local, relating to its Business,
including, without limitation, the impact of its Business upon the environment,
and the continued operation of its Business in the manner heretofore conducted
will not violate, in any material respect, any existing statute, rule,
regulation or order, federal, state or local except where such noncompliance
would not have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or other),
Business, Property, prospects, net worth or results of operations of CWT.  CWT
has not received notice of any such violation with respect to its business and
operations.

     4.17   Taxes.
            ----- 

            (a) CWT has filed with the appropriate federal, state and local
            governmental authorities all tax returns required to be filed with
            respect to its Business and Property and has paid all assessments
            shown to be due and claimed to be due on all such tax returns.

            (b) There are no additional assessments due or claimed to be due
            with respect to such filed returns.

            (c) CWT has not executed or filed any agreement extending the period

            action or proceeding by any governmental authority for the
            assessment or collection of taxes.

            (d)  All returns filed by CWT constitute complete and accurate
            representations of the tax liabilities for such years and accurately
            set forth all items (including the Schedule C to Form 1040 of
            William R. Heath for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995)
            relevant to the future tax liabilities, including the tax bases of
            the properties and assets.

            (e) No examination of the tax returns of CWT (including the joint
            tax returns filed with Lynette Heath since the inception of the
            Business) is currently in progress nor, to the best of his
            knowledge, is any such examination threatened.

            (f) None of the returns of CWT (including the joint tax returns

            foreign taxing authorities and none of the returns have received

<PAGE>
 
            clearances or other indications of approval from applicable federal,
            state, local, and foreign taxing authorities.  To the best of his
            knowledge, no issue or issues have been raised in connection with
            any prior or pending review or audit of said federal, state, local,
            or foreign returns which may reasonably be expected to be raised in
            the future by such taxing authorities in connection with the audit
            or review of the returns of CWT (including the joint tax returns
            filed with Lynette Heath since the inception of the Business).

     For purposes of this Section the term "tax" (and with corresponding

minimum tax, gross income, value added, franchise, gross receipts, sales, use,
ad valorem, occupation, license, excise, payoff, stamp, premium, withholding,
real and personal property, and other taxes, and related or similar governmental
charges, tariffs, customs duties, assessments, together with any interest,

of CWT, which policies are in full force and effect with all premiums due
thereon paid or accrued.  Such policies are adequate in amount, scope and
coverage to protect CWT against any material loss of assets or property or any
interruption in its operations customarily insured against.  Exhibit D sets

of CWT, there is no basis for any insurer thereunder to terminate any such
policy.

     4.19   Books of Account and Records.  The books of account of CWT fairly

accordance with sound business practices.  The customer and supplier records of
CWT are in all respects complete and correct and have been maintained in

            ---------------------------------                                  
in reliance upon CWT's representation to CWI, which by CWT's execution of this
Agreement, CWT hereby confirms, that the Common Stock, Series F Preferred Stock
and the Series G Preferred Stock to be received by CWT will be acquired for
investment for CWT's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view
to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that CWT has no present
intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing
the same.  By executing this Agreement, CWT further represents that CWT does not
have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to
sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or to any third person,
with respect to any of the Common Stock, Series F Preferred Stock or Series G
Preferred Stock.  CWT represents that it has full power and authority to enter
into this Agreement.

     4.22   Disclosure of Information.  CWT believes he has received all the
            -------------------------                                       
information he considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to
acquire the Common Stock, Series F Preferred Stock and the Series G Preferred
Stock.  CWT further represents that he has had an opportunity to ask questions
and receive answers from CWI regarding the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and regarding the business, financial condition and operations of CWI.

     4.23   Investment Experience.  CWT has invested in speculative securities
            ---------------------                                             
and acknowledges that he is able to bear the economic risk of his investment and
has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that he is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Common Stock,
Series F Preferred Stock and the Series G Preferred Stock.

     4.24   Restricted Securities.  CWT understands that the shares of Common
            ---------------------                                            
Stock, Series F Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock which he will
acquire pursuant to this Agreement are characterized as "restricted securities"
under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from CWI
in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and
applicable regulations, such securities are restricted from resale without
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended.  CWT understands that
the certificates evidencing the Common Stock, Series F Preferred Stock and
Series G Preferred Stock will have imprinted on its face a legend with respect
to these restrictions.  CWT further understands that the same restrictions will
be applicable to any requests to convert the Series F Preferred Stock and Series
G Preferred Stock into Common Stock subsequent to the Closing, and as a
condition to such conversion, he will be required to reaffirm representations
made in Sections 4.21 through 4.24 of this Agreement.

                          SECTION 6.  INDEMNIFICATION

            ---------------                                               
losses, costs (including court costs and costs of appeal), expenses,

agreements contained in

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
this Agreement, or which arise or result from liabilities, obligations or
commitments of a party to this Agreement (the "Indemnitor"), which are expressly
assumed by any other party to this Agreement, or contemplated by this Agreement,
Indemnitor hereby agrees to, and hereby does, further indemnify, defend and hold
harmless any other party to this Agreement from, against, and in respect of its
liabilities, obligations or commitments; provided that any such indemnification
obligation shall expire and terminate two years following the Effective Date
with the effect that the indemnification shall apply to the extent notice of any
such obligation was given on or before the expiration of such two-year period.

     6.2    Setoff. If in the reasonable judgment of CWI, there is a breach or
            ------                                                            
default by CWT under any of the covenants, warranties or representations set
forth in this Agreement ("Breach"), which reasonably might be expected to result
in the damage, loss, cost and/or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
to CWI, then, without limiting any rights CWI may otherwise have, CWI shall have
the following rights:

            (a) At any time after discovery of a Breach, CWI may notify CWT of
the Breach ("Notice of Breach").

            (b) In conjunction with or after providing a Notice of Breach, CWI
may demand payment from CWT of any damage, loss, cost, and/or expense (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) attributable to the Breach (the "Payment Demand").

            (c) Each Notice of Breach and Payment Demand shall specify in
reasonable detail the nature of the Breach and the damage, loss, cost and/or
expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by CWI and attributable
to the Breach.

            (d) CWT, if CWT fails to cure the Breach, within 30 days following a
Payment Demand, shall immediately pay the amount demanded (the "Breach Amount")
to CWI, in cash or by means of bank certified funds or wire transfer to an
account designated by CWI.  Alternatively, CWT may elect to setoff this
obligation against the Series F Preferred Stock or Series G Preferred Stock then
held by CWT, valued at $1.00 per share of Series F Preferred and Series G
Preferred Stock.  If CWT fails to cure the Breach or pay the Breach Amount
within 30 days after the Payment Demand, CWT will be deemed to have elected the
setoff, and shall deliver for cancellation the appropriate number of shares of
Series F Preferred Stock or Series G Preferred Stock.  If no such delivery is
effected, such shares (of the appropriate number of Series F Preferred Stock
and/or Series G Preferred Stock as determined by CWI in its discretion) shall be
deemed cancelled, and shall be so reflected on the books and records of CWI, and
any purported transfer thereafter of such shares shall be null and void.
