NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(1)  GENERAL

      The  accompanying  unaudited consolidated  financial  statements
include all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which are, in
the  opinion  of  Registrants management, necessary to present  fairly
Registrants financial position as of June 30, 1996, the results of its
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996  and  June
30,  1995  and cash flows for the six months ended June 30,  1996  and
June 30, 1995.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial  statements prepared in accordance with  generally  accepted
accounting  principles have been omitted pursuant  to  the  rules  and
regulations   of  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.    These
consolidated  financial statements should be read in conjunction  with
the  consolidated financial statements and related notes contained  in
the Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.

      Management  believes that the procedures followed  in  preparing
these  consolidated  financial statements  are  reasonable  under  the
circumstances,  but  the  accuracy of the  amounts  in  the  financial
statements  are in some respect dependent upon facts that will  exist,
and  procedures that will be accomplished by Registrant later  in  the
fiscal year.

     The results of operations for the three and six months ended June
30,  1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for a full years operation.

      Except  for  the  historical information contained  herein,  the
matters discussed in this report are forward-looking statements  which
involve  risks  and  uncertainties,  including  but  not  limited   to
economic,   competitive,   governmental  and   technological   factors
affecting  the  Companys operations, markets, products,  services  and
prices,  and other factors discussed in the Companys filings with  the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

(2)  INVENTORIES

(4)  Weighted  average shares outstanding for the three and six  months
     ended  June 30, 1996 do not include common stock equivalents,  as
     their effect on earnings per share would be anti-dilutive.

Item 2    Managements  Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition
          and Results of Operations

Results of Operations
      Sales  for  the three months ended June 30, 1996  of  $3,347,859
declined  by  23% from sales of $4,323,763 for the three months  ended
June  30,  1995.   Sales for the six months ended  June  30,  1996  of
$6,152,139  were 30% less than sales of $8,734,292 for the six  months
ended June 30, 1995.

     The reduced sales levels primarily reflect lower shipments of the
Companys core business call accounting products to Lucent Technologies
and  Siemens.  While second quarter 1996 sales levels from both Lucent
and  Siemens  increased  from the levels  realized  during  the  first
quarter  of  1996,  both remain below their historic  levels.   Second
quarter  1996  sales  of call accounting products  to  other  domestic
distributors and to new customers, particularly in South America  grew
substantially over levels realized during the first quarter  of  1996,
and  are  anticipated to continue to grow through the second  half  of
1996.

      The  Company made its first shipment of Verabill IS, its billing
and  operations  support system for telephone and  wireless  companies
late  in  the  second  quarter  to the Albanian  Mobile  Communication
Company  in  Tirana,  Albania through Alcatel  SEL  of  Germany.   The
Company  expects to install several additional Verabill  systems  over
the balance of the year.

      Gross margins of 73% and 70% for the three and six months  ended
June  30, 1996 compared with a gross margin percentage of 70% for both
the  three  and  six month periods ended June 30, 1995, with  slightly
lower   direct   product  costs  being  offset  by   higher   software
amoritization costs, as a percentage of total sales.

      As  illustrated  in  the  table below  the  Company  experienced
substantial  increases in expenditures for engineering and development
costs  for  both  the  three and six months ended  June  30,  1996  as
compared with the respective periods of 1995.  Gross spending for  the
six months ended June 30, 1996 increased by 64% over 1995 levels while
net spending after the effect of capitalization of certain development
costs increased by 33% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 over the
six months ended June 30, 1995.  The Company expects that expenditures
for  engineering and development costs during the second half of  1996
will  continue  to  significantly exceed the expense  levels  realized
during 1995.

<PAGE>
      Selling,  general and administrative expenses of $2,567,993  for
the  three  months ended June 30, 1996 rose 8% from the expense  level
for  the first three months of 1995 of $2,380,639.  For the six months
ended  June  30,  1996  selling, general and administrative  costs  of
$5,174,078  were  10% higher than the expenses of $4,717,123  for  the
first  six  months  of 1995.  The increased spending levels  represent
higher  than anticipated selling and administrative expenses  incurred
by  the  Companys  foreign subsidiaries MOSCOM GmbH, MOSCOM  Ltd.  and
Global  Billing  Services, LTD.  Current expense levels  for  selling,
general and administrative costs are expected to run at similar  rates
throughout the end of 1996.

     Interest income earned on the investment of excess funds amounted
to  $126,824  for the first six months of 1996 from $104,146  for  the
first  six  months  of  1995, mainly due to  higher  average  balances
available for investment during the first half of 1996.

     The Company realized a net loss of $650,403 or $.10 per share for
the  quarter ended June 30, 1996, compared to a net profit of $246,642
or  .04  per share for the second quarter of 1996.  For the six months
ended  June 30, 1996 the Company incurred a net loss of $1,837,806  or
$.27  per share, contrasted with a net profit of $549,690 or $.08  per
share for the six months ended June 30, 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The  Companys cash and investment position at June 30, 1996  was
$4,126,210.  This compared with total cash and investment  balance  of
$5,695,149  at  December 31, 1995 and $4,412,609  at  June  30,  1995.
Working  capital ratios for those same periods were 4.3, 4.6  and  5.0
respectively.

      Inventories continued to be reduced during the second quarter of
1996  with  the  June  30, 1996 balance of $1,443,803  comparing  with
$1,646,941 at December 31, 1995 and $2,337,747 at June 30, 1995.

     Current liabilities declined from $2,553,023 at December 31, 1995
to  $2,056,478 at June 30, 1996, mainly as a result of a  decrease  in
deferred revenues associated with training and installation services.

      The Company continues to maintain an unsecured revolving line of
credit  arrangement with a commercial bank for a maximum of $3,000,000
at  an  interest rate of the lower of the banks prime rate of interest
or  the  banks offered rate of interest.  The Company must pay a  loan
commitment fee of 1/4% per annum of the difference between the maximum
amount  available under the line less loans outstanding at the end  of
each quarter.  This credit agreement expires January 31, 1997.

      Given its strong financial condition, the Company believes  that
it  will  have  sufficient resources from existing cash  reserves  and
credit  agreements to meet its financial needs over  the  next  twelve
months.
