Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements September 30, 1998
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.
In addition, as a result of inquiries from the Securities and Exchange
Commission this form 10QSB/AA has been restated to account for the
acquisition of Edge Communications on April 30, 1998 using the purchase
method of accounting rather than the pooling of interest method. The
calculation of the preferred dividend has also been revised.

Note 2. Acquisitions
CardCall International Holdings, Inc.
- -------------------------------------
On March 31, 1997, DCI, entered into an agreement with CardCall
International Holdings, Inc. (CardCall), a Delaware corporation, to
purchase all its outstanding common stock (8,238,125 shares) and
warrants. CardCall's board of directors had approved the agreement on
March 29,1997, subject to shareholder approval.
7
<PAGE>
CardCall is the parent company of CardCaller Canada, Inc., a Canadian
corporation, and CardCall (UK) Limited, incorporated under the laws of
the United Kingdom. CardCall is in the business of designing, developing
and marketing, through distributors, prepaid phone cards that provide the
cardholder access to long distance service through switching facilities.
DCI had previously invested $1,500,000 in CardCall, for which it received
$1,200,000 in notes payable 120 days from demand. The remaining $300,000
did not have any stipulated repayment terms. The Company raised this
money through the issuance of DCI convertible preferred stock to certain
shareholders of CardCall.
By May 29,1997, the shareholders of CardCall had approved the
transaction. For each 100 shares of common stock of CardCall held by a
shareholder, DCI will issue a warrant to purchase nine shares of common
stock for $4.00 per share on or before February 28, 2001. In addition,
each shareholder of CardCall may acquire 85 shares of DCI common stock
under a subscription agreement, for each 100 shares of CardCall held by
such shareholder, at a purchase price of $.20 per share. 7,002,406
options to purchase DCI stock at $.20 per share were granted as a result
of this transaction. As of September 30, 1998, 4,860,777 of these
options for shares of DCI stock had been exercised. Such options expire
on April 30, 2002. In accordance with the agreement, shares of DCI stock
received from the exercise of options have restrictions as to when they
can be sold ranging from September 1, 1997 to December 1, 1998.
The transaction was initially recorded under the purchase method of
accounting, effective April 1, 1997, however the Securities and Exchange
Commission has ruled that the effective acquisition date is May 29, 1997.
The total purchase price includes the $1,610,000 in cash, $2,545,000
assigned value for the stock options, and assumption of net liabilities
of $2,801,000. Goodwill was recorded at $6,956,000. The financial
statements include the results of operations of CardCall since May 29,
1997, the effective date of acquisition. The goodwill is being amortized
over 20 years. The stock offering agreement called for the exchange of
shares by DCI in the acquisition of CardCall. A condition in the offer
was that the number of DCI shares to be issued would be reduced on a
share for share basis by the difference between 545,455 and the actual
number of shares issued in the Series C preferred stock conversion. There
was no value assigned to the common stock that would be distributed per
the offering agreement as these shares were not issued due to the number
of common shares issued in the conversion of the series C preferred
stock to common stock. There was no value assigned to the common stock
warrants as the exercise price of $4 was greater than the market value of
the common stock. The Company valued the options issued at $.30 per
option ($.50-.20 exercise price). The difference ($1.60) between the
exercise price, $.20 and the stock valuation price of $1.80 was reduced
by $1.30 for a 50% dilution factor, a 10% factor because the shares
issued upon exercise of the options would be restricted and a 10% factor
based upon the time from when the shares could be exercised and tradable.

<PAGE>
Edge Communications, Inc.
- -------------------------
On April 30,1998 the Company issued 4,385,715 shares of common stock for
all of the outstanding shares of Edge Communications, Inc. The
acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting, effective April 30, 1998. The total purchase price consists
of 4,385,715 shares of common stock valued at $6,644,000 and the
assumption of net liabilities of $179,000. Edge is located in
Gaithersburg, Maryland and is in the prepaid phone card business. For the
twelve months ended March 31, 1998, Edge had net sales of $8,780,000 and
had a loss of $271,000. Goodwill of $6,823,586 has been recorded on the
transaction and is being amortized over 20 years. The financial
statements include the results of operations since April 30, 1998, date
of acquisition.
Muller Media, Inc.
- ------------------
On November 26, 1996, DCI entered into a stock purchase agreement with
Muller Media, Inc. (Muller), a New York corporation, to acquire 100% of
the outstanding common stock of Muller in a stock-for-stock purchase,
with DCI exchanging 1,200,000 shares of common stock for all of the
shares of Muller capital stock. The DCI stock was valued at $2.50 per
share ($3 million in total) and is included in outstanding common stock
for the years ending March 31, 1998 and 1997.
At the closing, the shares of Muller were transferred to DCI, and DCI
shares were issued to Muller shareholders and then placed with escrow
agents. This was done to facilitate a "put" option which could only be
exercised by Muller subsequent to the closing under the put option. DCI
must repurchase the shares for $3,000,000 if Muller exercised the "put"
option, which commenced on the earlier of 120 days from December 27,
1996, unless an extension was requested by DCI, which Muller could not
unreasonably withhold, or 14 days after DCI had received an aggregate of
$3,000,000 in net proceeds from the sale of its capital stock. Extensions
were granted by Muller through June 3, 1998. The selling stockholders
had an option to keep DCI stock or accept up to $3,000,000 in cash from
DCI.
DCI repurchased 400,000 shares of such common stock in March, 1998 for
$1,000,000 and completed the repurchase from the exercising parties on
June 9, 1998 upon payment of an additional $2,000,000.
The transaction was recorded under the purchase method of accounting. The
total purchase price includes $3,000,000 in cash. Goodwill was recorded
at $1,266,626. The financial statements include the results of operations
of Muller since June 9, 1998, the date of acquisition. The goodwill is
being amortized over 20 years.

<PAGE>
NOTE 3. Common and Preferred Stock
- -----------------------------------
In April, 1998 the Company issued $3,000,000 of Series F 8% non -voting
convertible preferred shares. The shares are 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.
The securities must 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 investors.
During the six months ended September 30, 1998, the holders of $687,500
of preferred shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock and deemed
dividends of $171,750 were converted to 564,387 common shares.

of preferred shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and
dividends of $177,717 were converted to 321,811 common shares.
In addition, options to purchase 2,536,214 common shares were exercised
from which the Company received $432,007.
NOTE 4. PhoneLine CardCall International

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, 1998. 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, prepaid phone
cards, motion picture distribution, a travel agency, as well as real-time
fax over the Internet. Through continued investments and fiscal 1998
business acquisitions, the Company has expanded its business into rapidly
developing markets.
Recent Acquisitions and Dispositions
- ------------------------------------
In the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Company acquired CardCall
International and CyberFax. CardCall International, through its
subsidiaries CardCall UK and CardCaller Canada, sold prepaid phone cards.
In the third quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company sold its phone card
distribution contract in the U.K. for $9,000,000. Due to a non-compete
clause in the sale agreement, CardCall UK discontinued its operations
after the sale. During fiscal 1998 the Company also discontinued
operations of Privilege Enterprises Limited and its Alpha Products
division due to a lack of profitability.
On March 31, 1998 the Company and DataWave Systems, Inc. formed a new
company, PhoneLine CardCall International ("PhoneLine") for the
marketing, sale and service of prepaid long distance phone cards in
Canada. The accompanying financial statements include the results of
PhoneLine for the six months ending September 30, 1998. This new company
joins together two of the larger prepaid phone card distributors in
Canada, and the Company is expecting economies of scale by facility and
staff reductions, as well as better long distance rates with carriers.
DCI owns 60% and DataWave 40% of PhoneLine.
During the quarter ended June 30, 1998 the Company acquired Edge
Communications, Inc. This acquisition gave the Company a meaningful
entrance into the U.S. prepaid phone card market. Edge had sales of
$8,780,000 for the twelve months ended March 31, 1998 and has been
12

sustaining rapid growth in the last several months. Edge was accounted
for as a purchase.
Also in the quarter ending June 30, 1998, the Company completed the
acquisition of Muller Media by paying $2,000,000 in cash to the former
Muller shareholders, and received back 800,000 shares of DCI stock.
Muller is a distributor of motion pictures and had sales totaling
$2,722,000 for the twelve months ending March 31, 1998.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
At September 30, 1998 the Company had unrestricted cash of $2,697,000 and
$43,000 of marketable securities. During the quarter ended June 30, 1998,
the Company sold SmarTalk stock realizing net proceeds of $8,125,000. The
Company repaid its loans of $4,939,000 which it had borrowed against its
position in SmarTalk stock.
Also, on June 9, 1998 the former shareholders of Muller Media exercised
their put options to receive $2,000,000 in cash, and the Company received
back 800,000 shares of its common stock.
Other sources of cash during the first six months included $2,750,000
from the sale of preferred stock, and $432,000 from the exercise of stock
options.
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. In other
words, 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 that is Year 2000 compliant and plans to install the same
systems in each of its subsidiaries prior to September 30, 1999.
All of the Company owned switches, used to direct and monitor long
distance telephone traffic, are currently Year 2000 compliant according
to the manufacturer. Other less critical internal systems such as
telephone and voice mail systems are in the process of being evaluated.
13
<PAGE>
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 card phone 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. This system
expects to be compliant by the end of 1998, and accepting year 2000
bookings by January 4, 1999.
Costs
The Company is addressing Year 2000 issues in house and at the present
time the only other costs involve the purchase of financial software
packages. Total costs are estimated at $110,000. Costs incurred to date
are approximately $23,000.
Risks
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.
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 is still evaluating whether it will develop a contingency
plan for any of the risks noted above. A decision is expected by June 30,
1999.

Consolidated Results of Operations
- ----------------------------------
Changes reflected in the following analysis that refer to PhoneLine are
gross changes. It should be noted that the Company owns 60% of the
PhoneLine.
Six Months Ended
September 30,
1998 1997
---- ----
Net Sales $15,920,874 $ 2,326,121
- ---------

comparable 1997 period. Edge sales of prepaid phone cards since May 1,
1998 contributed $11,620,000 due to rapid growth and new contracts.
Muller Media, which was acquired as of June 9, 1998, accounted for
approximately $1,098,000 of the increase. The prepaid phone card sales of
PhoneLine in 1998 exceeded CardCaller Canada 1997 sales by $725,000 in
the first six months principally due to the fact that CardCaller was only
included for four of the first six months of 1997. Travel Source sales
were up $39,000 in 1998, and European sales were up $113,000.
1998 1997
---- ----
Cost of Sales $14,242,201 $2,024,770
- -------------
Cost of sales in 1998 exceeded 1997 by approximately $12,217,431. Edge
cost of sales since May 1, 1998 resulted in $10,724,000 of the increase.
Costs associated with the recently acquired Muller Media accounted for
$741,000 of the increase. PhoneLine 1998 costs exceeded CardCaller Canada
by $587,000 due to CardCaller's May 29, 1997 acquisition date. Cost of
sales for European operations were up $122,000 on increased sales and
Travel Source was up $43,000 on increased sales.
1998 1997
-------- --------
Selling, General & Administration Expense $1,270,785 $277,156
- -----------------------------------------
Selling, general and administrative increased $994,000 over the 1997
period. CyberFax costs increased $173,000 principally due to higher
research and development costs as its product got closer to market.
Expenses of the newly acquired Muller contributed $120,000 to the
increase. Increased operations in Europe added $70,000 to the increase.
SG&A expenses of PhoneLine, a much larger operation than CardCaller
Canada in 1997, accounted for $114,000 increased costs. SG&A expenses of
DCI corporate and Edge increased $517,000 due to the large growth of both
organizations and Edge was not included in 1997 results.
15
<PAGE>
1998 1997
---- ----
Salaries and Compensation $1,163,303 $ 402,947
- -------------------------
Salaries increased $760,356 over 1997 levels. Salaries at the corporate
level increase $211,000 due to wage increases and additional personnel
added due to growth. The acquisition of Muller accounts for $133,000 of
the increase. Salaries in Europe have increased $146,000 as operations
have now increased. Salaries at Edge were $195,000 since its acquisition
on April 30, 1998. PhoneLine salaries exceeded CardCaller 1997 salaries
by $75,000 due to CardCaller's May 29, 1997 acquisition date.
1998 1997
---- ----
Amortization and Depreciation $431,701 $16,463
- -----------------------------
The $16,463 in 1997 represents depreciation expense for continuing
operations. Included in 1998 is depreciation of $116,000, amortization of
Travel Source goodwill of $2,500, Muller goodwill of $48,000, CyberFax
goodwill of $25,000, CardCaller Canada goodwill of $100,000 and Edge
goodwill amortization of $142,000.
1998 1997
---- ----
Professional and Consulting Fees $435,384 $264,005
- --------------------------------
Professional fees increased $171,000 over the 1997 period. Professional
fees at PhoneLine were $71,000 higher than CardCaller Canada's 1997
charges principally due to the start up of the new joint venture and the
fact that CardCaller was only included for four months in 1997. Edge
professional fees amounted to $65,000 due to its dramatic growth. Legal
and accounting fees of the newly acquired Muller and increased corporate
fees due to rapid growth principally account for the remaining
difference.
1998 1997
---- ----
Interest Expense ($89,420) ($63,340)
Interest Income $42,933 $ 1,036
- ---------------
Interest expense increased principally due to corporte borrowing earlier
in the year.
The $42,000 increase in interest income is a result of $22,000 earned by
DCI on short term investments plus $20,000 of interest earned on short-
term investments of the newly acquired Muller Media.

1998 1997
---- ----
Discontinued operations - Computer Board -- ($558,958)
- Prepaid Phone
Card - UK -- ($551,265)
- P.E.L. -- ($ 12,323)
The computer board loss in 1997 reflects the discontinuance of the Alpha
Products division at September 30, 1997. Included in the loss was the
write-off of unamortized customer base totaling $493,000. The prepaid
phone card discontinued loss was due to a non-compete clause in the 1997
distribution contract sale to Smartalk for $9,000,000, which necessitated
the shut-down of the UK phone card operations. P.E.L. operations were
discontinued in the last quarter of the fiscal 1998 year.
