DCI Telecommunications, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 1999

NOTE 1.

- -------

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting  principles for interim financial information
and with the provisions of Regulation SB.  Accordingly,  they do not include all
of the  information  and  footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all
adjustments  (consisting of normal recurring  adjustments)  considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included.  Certain  restatements of prior year
numbers  have been made to conform to the  current  years  presentations  and to
account for discontinued operations.

The consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries.  Material inter-company balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The  results  of  operations  for the  periods  presented  are  not  necessarily
indicative  of the results to be expected  for the full year.  The  accompanying
financial  statements  should be read in  conjunction  with the  Company's  form
10-KSB filed for the year ended March 31, 1999.

Loss per share was computed  using the weighted  average number of common shares
outstanding.

NOTE 2.  Common and Preferred Stock

- -----------------------------------

In  April  1998,  the  Company  issued  $3,000,000  of  Series  F 8%  non-voting
convertible  preferred  shares.  The shares were  convertible to common stock 90
days from the issue date at the lesser of 75% of the  average  closing bid price
of the common stock for the ten days prior to  conversion  or $4 per share.  The
securities were to be converted into common shares within two years of the issue
date. In connection with this offering 50,000 warrants  exercisable at $1.56 for
a period of five  years  from the issue  date were  granted  to these  preferred
shareholders  and 50,000  warrants,  at the same terms,  were granted to certain
individuals  as finder fees for the placement of the  preferred  shares with the
investors.

During the six months ended September 30, 1999,  $110,000 of preferred shares of
Series F Convertible Preferred Stock were converted to 246,777 common shares.

Interest  and  penalties  associated  with the Series F  preferred  stock,  were
included in new notes issued in November  1999.  (see Note  6-Subsequent  Event-
Financing)

In addition, options to purchase 2,200 common shares were exercised.

NOTE 3. Capital Lease

- ----------------------

In the quarter  ended June 30, 1999 the Company  entered  into a  commitment  to
lease from Harris Digital  Telephone Systems a debit card platform and switching
equipment  valued at $806,287.  The Company  advanced  $100,000.  Monthly  lease
payments of $24,152 are expected to commence in November 1999. The lease term is
thirty-six  months after which DCI can buy the switch for $1. The lease has been
recorded as a capital lease.

NOTE 4. DCI Europe Limited

- --------------------------

On September 1, 1999,  DCI Europe Limited (a subsidiary of DCI and since renamed
Gloucester  Communications Limited) which had been served an Involuntary Winding
Up Order was placed in liquidation.  At September 30, 1999, the remaining assets
and liabilities were written off, resulting in a $1,446,399 gain.

NOTE 5. Master Service Agreement Write Off

- ------------------------------------------

As more fully  described in the  footnotes to the  financial  statements  in the
March 31, 1999 Form 10K, on December 3, 1998 the Company and IXC  Communications
Inc, entered into a stock acquisition  agreement whereby IXC received  3,750,000
shares of DCI common stock in return for a Master Service  Agreement valued at $
15,671,875. The agreement was to provide DCI with most favorable rates, a credit
line and  co-location  of equipment and other shared  facilities in addition DCI
was to receive  switch  equipment  from a third party as part of a different but
related agreement.

As of September 30, 1999,  the Company  believes it has not received rates which
are competitive, has not received the switching equipment, and has suspended all
business  with IXC. As a result,  the  company  has  written  off the  remaining
unamortized investment totaling $ 13,321,093.

Note 6. Subsequent Event - Financing

- -----------------------------------

On  November  12,  1999,  the  Company  received  $1,000,000,  as  part of a new
financing  package.  An  existing  loan  of  $400,000,  interest  and  penalties
associated with the Series F Preferred  Stock totaling $ 1,348,605,  and the new
$1,000,000  proceeds  advanced,  are all  included  in new five year  notes with
interest  at six  percent  per  annum.  The  lenders  have  various  methods  of
redemption  to choose  from,  including  cash from VAT  refunds  from the United
Kingdom,  proceeds from the sale of Muller Media if any, and conversion into DCI
common stock at $0.25 per share subject to certain conditions.

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

- --------

The following  discussion  and analysis  provides  information  that  management
believes   is   relevant   to   an   assessment   and   understanding   of   DCI
Telecommunications,  Inc.  and its  subsidiaries  (collectively,  the  Company),
consolidated  results of operations  and financial  condition for the six months
ended September 30, 1999. The discussion  should be read in conjunction with the
Company's consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

The  Company,  since its  recent  acquisitions,  operates  predominantly  in the
telecommunications  industry  providing a broad range of communication  service.
The Company's services include long distance  telephone  service,  prepaid phone
cards,  motion  picture  distribution  and a travel  agency.  Through  continued
investments  and business  acquisitions,  the Company is expanding  its business
into rapidly developing markets in Europe.

Recent Acquisitions and Dispositions

- ------------------------------------

CYBERFAX, INC.

- --------------

On March 30, 1999, DCI Telecommunications  sold all of the outstanding shares of
common stock of its subsidiary CyberFax,  Inc. to Carlyle Corporation,  a Nevada
corporation.  DCI  received a $5,000,000  promissory  note from Carlyle that was
payable  on  March  30,  2000,  and bore  interest  at 9%,  paid and  compounded
quarterly.

In June 1999, with the agreement of DCI and some modifications of the agreement,
Carlyle  assigned all its rights and  obligations  to SmartFax,  Inc., a private
Canadian corporation.  At the closing,  SmartFax paid off its promissory note by
issuing 5,000,000 shares of its common stock to DCI. No value has been placed on
the SmartFax  shares and no revenue or profit has been recorded.  It is expected
that SmartFax will attempt an initial public offering in the future.

CyberFax  had sales of $48,145 and  operating  losses of $404,010 in fiscal year
end March 31, 1999 before discontinuance of operations. A loss of $1,098,228 was
recorded on this transaction at March 31, 1999.

DCI Europe Limited

- ------------------

On September 1, 1999,  DCI Europe Limited (a subsidiary of DCI and since renamed
Gloucester  Communications Limited) which had been served an Involuntary Winding
Up Order was placed in liquidation.  At September 30, 1999, the remaining assets
and liabilities were written off, resulting in a $1,446,399 gain.

Master Service Agreement Write Off

- ----------------------------------

As more fully  described in the  footnotes to the  financial  statements  in the
March 31, 1999 Form 10K, on December 3, 1998 the Company and IXC  Communications
Inc, entered into a stock acquisition  agreement whereby IXC received  3,750,000
shares of DCI common stock in return for a Master Service  Agreement valued at $
15,671,875. The agreement was to provide DCI with most favorable rates, a credit
line and  co-location  of equipment and other shared  facilities in addition DCI
was to receive  switch  equipment  from a third party as part of a different but
related agreement.

As of September 30, 1999,  the Company  believes it has not received rates which
are competitive, has not received the switching equipment, and has suspended all
business  with IXC. As a result,  the  company  has  written  off the  remaining
unamortized investment totaling $ 13,321,093.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

- -------------------------------

At  September  30,  1999 the  Company  had  unrestricted  cash of  approximately
$1,276,000.  Net cash declined $355,000 during the last six months. Cash used in
operating  activities  approximated  $710,000 and cash  invested in fixed assets
totaled $152,000.

The Company  supported  those  needs by raising  $872,500  from the  issuance of
notes, of which $300,000 was paid back by September 30.

The write off of the Master Service Agreement, of $13,321,000,  the interest and
penalties on the Series F Preferred Stock and the $1,446,000 gain on dissolution
of DCI Europe were non-cash transactions and had no impact on liquidity.

In November 1999, the Company raised $1,000,000 in debt financing (See Note 6).

The Company is planning  on further  expansion  in Europe and the ability of the
Company to finance all new and existing  operations will be heavily dependent on
external  sources.  No assurance can be given that additional  financing will be
available or, if available, will be on acceptable terms.

Year 2000 Issues

- ----------------

The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer  programs  being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year.  Date-sensitive  software
may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the Year 2000. This
could  result in system  failures  or  miscalculations  causing  disruptions  of
operations,   including,   among  others,  a  temporary   inability  to  process
transactions, send invoices or engage in similar normal business activities.

COMPANY'S STATE OF READINESS

- ------------------------------------------------------------

One of the  Company's  critical  internal  areas is its  information  technology
systems,  including general ledger, accounts receivable,  payable, inventory and
related  packages  for DCI and each of its  subsidiaries.  In this  regard,  the
parent  Company has  installed  new software  and has  installed or upgraded the
financial systems in each of its subsidiaries to be Year 2000 compliant.

All of the  Company-owned  switches,  used to direct and monitor  long  distance
telephone  traffic,   currently  are  Year  2000  compliant   according  to  the
manufacturer.

The Company also has relationships  with outside third parties that could impact
its business.  The most  important are the carriers that process and monitor the
Company's long distance and prepaid phone card calls. All the carriers expect to
be Year 2000  compliant and are in various  stages of  readiness.  The Company's
travel  business  is  partially  dependent  on  an  outside  reservation  system
representing many airlines which is Year 2000 compliant.

COSTS

- ----------

The Company has  addressed  Year 2000 issues  in-house and, at the present time,
there are no other anticipated costs. Total costs were approximately $ 45,000.


RISK

- ----

The  Company  believes  that its most  reasonable  likely  worst-case  Year 2000
scenario  would be if any of its third party long  distance  telephone  carriers
were  unable to properly  monitor or admit  authorized  personal  identification
numbered prepaid phone card calls through their systems.

                                       13
<PAGE>

The time frame for the carrier to fix the problem, or the ability of the Company
to recall  prepaid  phone cards and switch to another  carrier with  competitive
rates, could cause a material business interruption.

The risks associated with the failure of the Company's  financial  software,  or
third party payroll  preparation and stock transfer system,  are considered less
severe in that the Company  believes  switching to other  vendors or using other
methods would be relatively easy.

The risk of failure of the third party  airline  reservation  system is that the
Company  would have to secure its travel  arrangements  by methods that would be
more cumbersome and time-consuming than the current automated system.

CONTINGENCY PLAN

- ----------------

The Company, based upon a survey conducted with major suppliers,  especially for
financial  reporting and  telecommunication  services,  is satisfied  that these
suppliers are able to meet all Year 2000  requirements and therefore will not be
preparing a contingency plan.

The  Company  has  upgraded  its  internal  accounting  systems  to  meet  these
requirements.

Consolidated Results of Operations

- ----------------------------------

                                              Six months Ended
                                               September 30,

                                            ----           ----
Net Sales                                $8,968,458    $15,905,496
- --------

Net sales declined $ 6,937,000 in the six months ending September 30,

1999,  compared  to the same  period a year  ago.  Sales of Edge  Communications
declined $ 7,104,000  during this period,  principally as a carryover  result of
the shutdown of prepaid  phone cards  during the last fiscal  year.  Due to this
shutdown,  Edge  encountered   difficulties  in  rebuilding  its  business,  and
therefore  it incurred a loss at the gross margin level in its efforts to regain
market  share.  Sales also  declined $ 2,500,000 due to the absence of the joint
venture  Phoneline,  which was written off on March 31, 1999,  but this was more
than offset by increased sales in Europe, principally in England.

                                                       1999        1998

Cost of Sales                                     $ 9,716,374  $14,235,386
- -------------

Cost of sales declined $4,519,000 in the first six months compared to a

year ago. Edge's cost of sales dropped $4,987,000 due to the situation described
above.  However,  the cost of sales Edge did incur was higher than the  original
sales price and resulted in a negative  gross margin for the company as a whole.
Higher  cost of sales in  Europe,  associated  with  higher  sales,  principally
accounts for the reminder of the variance.

- -----------------------------------------

Selling,  general and administrative  expenses declined $113,000, in the current
period compared to last years six month period.  Administrative  expenses in the
expanded  European  operations were  approximately  $144,000 less than the prior
years Phoneline Joint Venture and European costs.

Salaries and Compensation              $ 1,056,099 $ 1,162,133
- -------------------------

Salaries  declined $106,000 in the 6 months ended September 1999. The absence of
the Phoneline Joint Venture resulted in a $164,000 decline.  Modest increases in
other companies partially offset this decline.

Professional and Consulting Fees      $1,089,286   $424,316

- --------------------------------

Professional  fees increased  $665,000 in the current six month period.  A legal
matter involving Edge's carrier service and switching equipment,  the successful
defense of two lawsuits  against DCI, and legal and accounting  costs associated
with the Securities  and Exchange  Commission  investigation  of the Company and
corresponding  restatements  of financial  statements,  are the main reasons for
this unfavorable variance.

Amortization and Depreciation          $1,859,181   $431,417
- -----------------------------

Amortization  and  depreciation  increased  $1,428,000  over the prior years six
month period. Amortization of the Master Service Agreement through September 30,
1999 totaled $1,567,188 ($0 in the prior year). Partially offsetting this is the
absence of  amortization  of goodwill  associated  with the now closed  Canadian
Operations totaling $100,000.

Loss on Master Service Agreement    $(13,321,093)   $ 0

This  represents the write off of the remaining net value assigned to the Master
Service  Agreement  purchased with DCI common stock in the last fiscal year. The
Company  never  received  the  favorable  carrier  rates it  expected or certain
switching equipment, and has suspended operations with the carrier.

Gain on Dissolution - Foreign
Subsidiary                          $1,446,399     $   0

A petition for issuance of an  Involuntary  Winding Up Order was issued  against
one of the Company's  subsidiaries  in Great Britain.  The gain is the result of
the  write  off of the  remaining  liabilities  exceeding  the  write off of the
remaining assets due to the large bad debt provision on March 31, 1999.

Interest Expense                   ($1,414,890)   ($78,962)

The entire investment income of $ 151,629 in 1999 is the result of higher income
for Muller  Media which was included for six months in 1999 and only four months
in 1998.

The  increase in interest  expense of  $1,336,000  is the result of interest and
penalties associated with the inability of Series F Preferred holders to convert
to common shares and was converted to a note in November 1999.

Since  CyberFax  was  sold on March  30,  1999 and  classified  as  discontinued
operations,  the $232,000 loss in 1998 June six months has been  reclassified as
discontinued operations.
