      Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements December 31, 1996

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 reclassification of
prior year numbers have been made to conform to the current years
presentations.

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-K filed for the year ended
March 31, 1996.

Income (loss) per share was computed using the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding.

NOTE 2.  Acquisition of R&D Scientific Corp.

On June 19, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire
the common stock of R&D Scientific Corporation ("R&D") in a stock for
stock purchase, with the Company exchanging 106,250 shares for all of
R&D's outstanding stock. The stock of both companies is being held in
escrow pending certain cash infusion requirements. During the quarter
ending December 31, 1996, the Company was granted an extension until
December 31, 1997 to make the cash infusion of $150,000 in order to
consummate the transaction with R&D. As of December 31, 1996, $50,000
was sent to R&D by DCI in connection with this agreement. In
consideration for the extension, R&D has the right to terminate the
purchase and sale contract at its sole discretion prior to DCI making
the cash infusion.

NOTE 3.  Acquisition of Muller Media, Inc.

On November 26, 1996, DCI Telecommunications, Inc. entered into a
stock purchase agreement with Muller Media, Inc. (Muller), a New York

<PAGE>
corporation whereby DCI acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock
of Muller in a stock for stock purchase, with DCI exchanging one
million two hundred thousand (1,200,000) shares of common stock for
all of the shares of Muller Media capital stock. The DCI stock was
valued at two dollars and fifty cents ($2.50) per share.

The shares of both companies have been deposited with an escrow
agent. DCI can repurchase the shares, if Muller exercises a "put"
option which commences on the earlier of 120 days from December 27,
1996, unless an extension is requested by DCI, which Muller Media
cannot unreasonably withhold, or 14 days after DCI has received an
aggregate of $3,000,000 in net proceeds from the sale of its capital
stock. The selling stockholders have an option to keep DCI stock or
accept up to $3,000,000 in cash from DCI. Muller is a distributor of
syndicated programming and motion pictures to the television and
cable industry. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase.

On November 5, 1996, DCI acquired the assets of Paul Bettencourt
Associates in exchange for DCI stock valued at approximately $10,000.
Bettencourt has been renamed Privilege Enterprises Limited (PEL) and

NOTE 7.  Subsequent Event

On February 4, 1996, DCI signed a letter of intent to acquire all of
the outstanding stock of CardCall International Holdings, Inc. a
Delaware corporation. It is anticipated that this will be a tax
deferred transaction and will involve the exchange of common stock.
The acquisition will be subject to several conditions including
execution of a definitive acquisition agreement and approval of the
Boards of Directors.

CardCall, which has subsidiaries in Canada and the United Kingdom, is
a telecommunications software and hardware development company
specializing in the manufacture and distribution of prepaid telephone
cards and had sales in excess of $4,000,000 in its latest fiscal
year.

A March 1997 closing is planned.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On December 30, 1994 and January 5, 1995 the Company acquired the
assets of Sigma Telecommunications and Alpha Products through the
issue of 1,330,000 shares of common stock, and renamed the Company
DCI Telecommunications, Inc.  The liabilities remaining from the
former Fantastic Foods, Inc. at acquisition left the Company with
negative working capital.

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended
December 31, 1996 totaled $564,000. The Company raised $981,000 by the
private sale of stock which more than covered this cash shortfall.

During the most recent quarter, the Company acquired Muller Media in
a stock for stock purchase. Largely as a result of this acquisition,
at December 31, 1996, the Company had cash of $1,170,000 and positive
working capital of $2,187,000.

The Company continues to pursue long-term financing for its
acquisition program and internal expansion. However, no assurance can
be given that additional financing will be available or, if
available, that it will be available on acceptable terms.  The
ability to finance and expand all operations will be heavily
dependent on external sources.

Results of Operations
                           Nine Months Ended
                              December 31,
                            1996        1995
Sales                    $901,061     $632,368

Net sales increased in the 1996 first nine months by approximately
$269,000 compared to the prior year first nine months almost entirely
due to sales of Muller Media which was acquired during the most
recent quarter.

                           1996           1995
Cost of Sales            $466,995       $350,729

Cost of sales increased $116,000 in the 1996 first nine months due to
increased subcontractor costs and more salaries were allocated to
                                  
                                  9

cost of sales in 1996. In addition, Muller Media costs since its
acquisition also contributed to the rise.

                           1996          1995
Selling, General
    & Admin.             $171,648      $163,477

S.G.&A. expense increased $8,000 in 1996 compared to the nine months
ending December 31, 1995. Higher costs associated with Muller Media
were almost offset by lower director fees.

                                1996          1995
Salaries & Compensation       $323,535      $310,291

Higher salaries in 1996 including the addition of Muller Media
employees are partially offset by more payroll being allocated to
cost of sales.

                                1996         1995
Amortization & Depreciation   $186,801     $134,361

Amortization in the 1996 first nine months included three quarters
amortization of R&D copyrights of $127,500 while the 1995 nine months
has amortization of R&D Scientific copyrights of $75,000 (two
quarters), resulting in a $52,000 increase.

                                1996           1995
Professional Fees            $ 87,620        $26,087

Professional fees increased $61,533 in the 1996 period due to more
legal costs associated with settlements of old obligations.

                                1996           1995
Consulting Fees               $32,557        $241,163

Consulting fees declined approximately $209,000 during the current
year due to much less reliance on outside help on corporate matters
and getting the Company established.

                           1996         1995
Interest Expense        $ 14,742     $ 19,492

The reduction in interest expense in the current nine months is
principally due to paydown and settlement of notes partially offset
by interest on the R&D Scientific mortgage which was only partially
included in the 1995 nine months.
