5.   Revolving Lines of Credit:
     --------------------------
     The Company has a revolving line of credit agreement for aggregate 
     borrowings of up to $5,400,000.  Interest is payable on all outstanding 
     cash advances at the bank's prime lending rate plus 1/4% (9.00% at 
     December 31, 1995).  Any unpaid principal and accrued interest is due on 
     demand, but no later than March 31, 1996.  The line of credit is 
     collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.  The 
     terms of the agreement require, among other provisions, that the Company 
     comply with requirements for maintaining certain cash flow and other 
     financial ratios.  The Company failed to meet the cash flow coverage 
     ratio required under this agreement.

     The Company also guaranteed a $900,000 line of credit for an affiliate.  
     As of December 31, 1995, $600,000 has been drawn upon the affiliate's 
     line of credit and $4,200,000 on the Company's line of credit.

     Under the terms of certain of the above agreements, the Company is 
     required to comply with certain ratios and covenants.  As of June 30, 
     1995, the Company failed to meet the cash flow coverage ratio.  This 
     ratio is calculated on an annual basis, and therefore all amounts due 
     under these agreements are classified as current liabilities until the 
     next measurement date.

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

     Digital Communications Technology Corporation ("the Company") continued 
to experience sales growth for both the quarter and six month period ended 
December 31, 1995.  However, the Company continued to experience a decline in 
operating profit and net income, both in real terms and as a percentage of 
net sales.  Increased raw material costs as well as increased general and 
administrative costs were primarily responsible for the declining operating 
profits.  Increased interest expense and lower realized gains from the 
marketable securities portfolio, coupled with the lower operating profits, 
resulted in the lower net income.

Liquidity

     The Company used approximately $570,000 in cash from operating activities 
for the six months ended December 31, 1995 as compared to approximately 
$785,000 in cash used in operating activities for the six months ended 
December 31, 1994.  An overall net use of cash in operating activities for 
the six month period ended December 31, 1995 is consistent with prior years.  
During this period the Company typically experiences its highest sales 
volume, but cash collections on many of the sales follows in the subsequent 
quarter.  This situation is evident in the period ended December 31, 1995, as 
accounts receivable increased approximately $1,219,000 from the June 30, 1995 
balance.  In addition, the Company's inventory increased approximately 
$147,000 during the same period.  The increase was due to significant 
purchases of raw materials at the end of the second quarter which were 
acquired for a lower per unit cost than had been available in prior months.  
The raw material purchases, specifically of video tape cassette shells and 
video tape "pancakes," were purchased based on anticipated orders for the 
next several months, and were purchased to mitigate the steadily increasing 
material costs that have been eroding operating profits.

     The Company's accounts receivable collection period (measuring how 
quickly, on average, the Company collects its accounts receivable) increased 
from approximately 74 days at June 30, 1995 to approximately 77 days at 
December 31, 1995.  While the 77 days is a marked improvement from the 85 
days for the first quarter ended September 30, 1995, it still demonstrates 
the effect of competitive pressures from the Company's customers to grant 
longer payment terms. 

     As discussed above, inventory levels increased approximately 4% from 
June 30, 1995 to December 31, 1995.  The finished goods and work in process 
components of inventory declined slightly from the June 30, 1995 levels, 
while raw materials increased.  The raw materials inventory component is 
expected to decline as in-stock raw materials are utilized to meet production 
requirements in subsequent months.  Inventory levels, particularly in the 
work-in-process and finished goods categories, will fluctuate somewhat 
depending on the size and number of video tape duplicating orders processed 
at any given time.  Typically, the Company does not stock significant 
quantities of finished products, shipping orders immediately upon completion.  

<PAGE>                                 7<PAGE>
   

     Approximately $684,000 in cash was provided by investing activities for 
the six months ended December 31, 1995 as compared to approximately 
$1,368,000 in cash used in investing activities for the corresponding period 
of the prior year.  The primary sources for the funds were an approximate 
$149,000 decrease in loans receivable from affiliated companies and an 
approximate $1,014,000 decrease in funds invested in the Company's marketable 
securities portfolio.  When not invested in marketable securities, the 
majority of these funds are invested in federally-insured money market funds, 
and are classified as cash equivalents.
     
     The Company utilized its line of credit to provide approximately 
$360,000 for working capital needs during the six months ended December 31, 
1995 and repaid approximately $357,000 in long-term debt.  Management intends 
to selectively utilize its line of credit to fund capital expenditures and 
inventory purchases when needed, and expects to reduce the amount outstanding 
on the line of credit as collections on sales are received.
  
     As of June 30, 1995, the Company failed to meet a cash flow coverage 
ratio as required by certain of the Company's loan agreements.  Therefore, 
all amounts due under these agreements have been classified as current 
liabilities on the balance sheet.  There can be no assurance that the Company 
will be able to comply with this debt covenant in the future, however 
management will attempt to comply or renegotiate the covenant with the 
Company's lender.  

     During the year ended June 30, 1995, the Company's cash needs were met 
primarily through operations, with additional short-term borrowing on the 
Company's credit line.  Long-term liquidity needs are anticipated to be met 
through sales growth and separate financing arrangements.  Management 
anticipates that it will continue to meet most obligations as they come due, 
and no vendor/supplier problems are expected.

Capital Resources

     The Company invested approximately $457,000 in equipment and leasehold 
improvements for the six months ended December 31, 1995.  This amount was 
consistent with capital expenditures during the corresponding period of the 
prior year.  The expenditures related primarily to a high-speed video 
duplicating system which was acquired for the Company's Fort Lauderdale 
facility during the first quarter ended September 30, 1995.  The Company 
plans to continue to expand current operating facilities at the Indianapolis 
plant to fully meet the high volume demands of the retail-sell-through market.  
The Company intends to finance these expenditures through operations.

Results of Operations

     Overall growth in the Company's target markets continued the sales 
growth experienced during the first quarter ended September 30, 1995 and 
during the year ended June 30, 1995.  Net sales increased approximately 2% 
from $7,728,000 to $7,896,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1994 
and 1995, respectively.  Net sales also increased for the six month period 
ended December 31, 1995 to approximately $13,282,000 from approximately 
$12,004,000 for the six month period ended December 31, 1994, an 11% increase.  
Significant sales increases were experienced as orders were filled to meet 
the holiday buying season demands.  As in the prior fiscal year, management's 
focus on the "retail-sell-through market" resulted in this sales hike.  This 
market centers on sales of pre-recorded video tapes which are sold at the 
retail level.  The video tapes sold to this market are typically recorded on 
a narrower band width (i.e. extended play mode) in order to record more 
programming on less video tape at a lower cost.  The Company's customer base 
has become increasingly dominated by the companies which distribute these 
pre-recorded videos to the retail sell-through market, and management has 
positioned the Company to capitalize on this portion of the video industry.


     Operating profit did not keep pace with the increased sales, declining 
from approximately $689,000 (8.9% of net sales) to $514,000 (6.5% of net 
sales) for the three months ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively.  
A similar decline was experienced for six months ended December 31, 1995.  
Operating profit for this period declined from approximately $1,096,000 (9.1% 
of net sales) to $805,000 (6.1% of net sales).  The decline in operating 
profits are due to increases in cost of goods sold and general and operating 
expenses.   

     Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of sales, increased to 83% for the 
six months ended December 31, 1995 as compared to 82% for the six months 
ended December 31, 1994.  The increased cost of goods sold is directly 
attributable to increased material costs, specifically the cost of the 
plastic video cassette shells and video tape, which  have been increasing in 
cost faster than the Company's ability to pass the increases to its customers.  
Management will continue its efforts to pass on the material cost increases 
to the Company's customers and will continue its focus on cost containment, 
especially in labor costs, to ensure more efficiency is obtained and thereby 
reducing current cost levels even though sales volume increases.  Management 
is also exploring alternative sources for its raw materials to reduce 
material costs and was successful in purchasing lower cost materials at the 
end of the current quarter. 

<PAGE>                                 9<PAGE>

     An overall increase in general and administrative expenses also 
contributed to the lower operating profit.  As a percentage of net sales, 
these costs increased from 5.3% to 6.4% for the six month periods ended 
December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively.  Increases in professional fees 
over prior year levels and an increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts 
primarily contributed to this increase.  

     Interest expense increased from approximately $300,000 to $380,000 for 
the six months ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively and from 
approximately $166,000 to $204,000 for the three months ended December 31, 
1994 and 1995, respectively.  These increases were due primarily to increased 
borrowings on the Company's line of credit and increased long-term borrowing 
over the levels of the prior year as well as margin interest paid in 
connection with the Company's marketable securities portfolio.  In addition, 
increased interest expense was due to an increase in the bank's prime 
interest rate, which directly affects the Company's borrowing rates.  

     The Company realized income from securities transactions of approximately 
$72,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1995 as compared to 
approximately $611,000 for the corresponding period of the prior year.  The 
gains were from investment transactions associated with the Company's 
marketable securities portfolio.  The Company invests funds in quality equity 
securities through high quality brokers and, by policy, limits the amount of 
exposure in any one equity investment.  Such investments are continually 
monitored to reduce the risk of any adverse stock market volatility.  Cash 
not invested in securities is placed on account with high quality brokerage 
firms, which is swept daily into a federally insured money market account, or 
placed on account with a federally insured national bank.

     During June 1995, the Company's management decided to discontinue the 
operations of  Tapes Unlimited, Inc. ("TU").  Management believed that the 
cost of maintaining the TU subsidiary outweighed the benefits provided to the 
Company.  The effect on net income (loss) of the operations of TU is segregated 
on the face of the income statement as discontinued operations, and totaled 
approximately $95,000 and ($86,000), net of income taxes, for the six months 
ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Although all operations at 
TU have ceased, certain collection efforts are still conducted by the Company 
on behalf of TU.  These efforts, along with debt forgiveness resulting from 
settlements with TU creditors, resulted in recoveries which is reflected in 
the income from discontinued operations for the six months ended December 31, 
1995.
  
Other Items

     The costs of the Company's products are subject to inflationary 
pressures and commodity price fluctuations.  Inflationary pressures have been 
relatively modest over the past five years and the Company has generally been 
able to mitigate the effects of inflation and commodity price fluctuations 
through sales price increases and cost savings in other areas.  The Company's 
ability to pass on increased costs of its raw materials is limited by 
competitive market pressures, and there can be no assurances that the Company 
will be able to offset future material cost increases with its own price 
increases.

     The Company's sales levels generally follow the retail-sell-through 
markets, which typically peak in the fall and early winter months as retail 
demand and holiday orders are met.  The Company has mitigated this seasonality 
by increasing sales efforts to lower volume, but higher margin customers such 
as corporate training video duplication and the video rental market.  In 
addition, management plans to increase market penetration in the Canadian and 
other foreign markets where  the seasonal base is different from that of the 
domestic market.  Finally, management intends to focus its marketing efforts 
toward the amusement related industry (i.e. providing video tape duplication 
services for video game manufacturers) as well as to the mass marketing 
advertising industry to help mitigate the seasonality of the retail-sell-
through markets.  Even by utilizing these techniques, sales levels are still 
lower in the summer months.
