1.    GENERAL

      ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      TresCom International,  Inc. (together with its subsidiaries  collectively
referred   to   as   the   "Company")   is  a   facilities-based   long-distance
telecommunications  carrier focused on international  long-distance traffic. The
Company offers telecommunications  services,  including direct dial "1 plus" and
toll-free  long  distance,  calling  and debit  cards,  international  toll-free
service,  24-hour bilingual  operator  services,  intra-island  local service in
Puerto  Rico,  private  lines,  frame  relay,   international  inbound  service,
international country to country calling services and international  callthrough
from selected markets.

      These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted  accounting  principles for interim financial  reporting and Securities
and  Exchange   Commission   regulations.   Certain   information  and  footnote
disclosures  normally  included in financial  statements  prepared in accordance
with generally  accepted  accounting  principles  have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such  regulations.  In the opinion of  management,  the  information
contained  herein  reflects  all  adjustments  necessary  to make the  financial
position,  results of operations  and cash flows for the interim  periods a fair
presentation.  All  such  adjustments  are of a  normal  recurring  nature.  The
preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.  These financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1997. The results of operations for the interim  periods
shown are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for
the entire fiscal year.

2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Reference should be made to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
in the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended  December
31,  1997,  specifically  Note 2, for a  summary  of the  Company's  significant
accounting policies.

      RECLASSIFICATION

      Certain prior year amounts have been  reclassified to conform with current
year presentation.

      NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

      In 1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement No.
128,  "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128").  SFAS 128 replaced the  calculation  of
primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per
share.  Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any
dilutive  effects of  options,  warrants  and  convertible  securities.  Diluted
earnings  per share is very similar to the  previously  reported  fully  diluted
earnings per share.  All  earnings  per share  amounts for all periods have been
presented, and where appropriate, restated to conform with SFAS 128.

outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. The transaction is expected to
be  completed  during the second  quarter of 1998 and is subject to, among other
things, the approval of both Primus' and the Company's  shareholders and certain
regulatory authorities.

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

SUMMARY

      The Company is a facilities-based long-distance telecommunications carrier
focused on international long-distance traffic. The Company offers a broad array
of  competitively  priced  services,  including  long  distance,  calling cards,
prepaid debit cards, domestic and international  toll-free calling,  frame relay
and bilingual operator  services.  The Company derives its revenues by providing
international and domestic  long-distance services on a wholesale basis to other
telecommunications  carriers and resellers and on a retail basis to  residential
and commercial  customers  ranging in size from small  businesses to Fortune 500
companies.  Service  revenues  are based on minutes of use and charged at a rate
per minute which varies  according to the  termination  point of the traffic and
time of day. All revenues are billed in United States dollars.

      THREE  MONTHS  ENDED MARCH 31, 1998  COMPARED TO THE THREE  MONTHS ENDED
MARCH  31, 1997

      REVENUES.  Revenues increased 5.5%, or $2.0 million, from $36.1 million in
the first  quarter  of 1997,  to $38.1  million  in the first  quarter  of 1998.
Minutes of use increased 11.5%, or 13.4 million  minutes,  from 116.8 million in
the first  quarter  of 1997,  to 130.2  million  in the first  quarter  of 1998.
International  traffic  accounted for  approximately 79% of total revenue in the
first  quarter  of 1997,  and  approximately  77% of total  revenue in the first
quarter of 1998.  This,  combined with continued  international  wholesale price
pressures and changes within the mix of international  terminations,  caused the
overall rate per minute to decline from approximately $0.31 in the first quarter
of 1997,  to $0.29 in the first  quarter  of 1998.  Historically,  international
traffic has commanded a higher per minute rate than domestic  traffic;  however,
this gap has been  decreasing  due to increased  international  competition  and
declining international termination costs.

      COSTS OF SERVICES.  Costs of services  increased  11.5%,  or $3.2 million,
from $27.8  million in the first  quarter of 1997, to $31.0 million in the first
quarter of 1998. Costs of services increased instep with the increased volume of
traffic  carried.  On a per minute basis,  however,  the variable portion of the
cost per minute decreased from approximately $0.23 in the first quarter of 1997,
to approximately  $0.21 in the first quarter of 1998. This decline was offset by
the Company's investment in the expansion of its network,  represented by higher
fixed per minute  costs of services.

      GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit  decreased  13.3%, or $1.1 million,  from $8.3
million in the first  quarter of 1997,  to $7.2 million in the first  quarter of
1998. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit decreased from approximately 23%
in the first quarter of 1997 to approximately 19% in the first quarter of 1998.

      SELLING,   GENERAL  AND  ADMINISTRATIVE  EXPENSE.   Selling,  general  and
administrative  expense  increased 14.8%, or $1.2 million,  from $8.1 million in
the first quarter of 1997,  to $9.3 million in the first  quarter of 1998.  This
increase was due primarily to increased  expenses,  such as additional  reserves
for bad debt.  Bad debt  expense was $1.0  million and $1.8 million in the first
quarter of 1997 and 1998, respectively.

      DEPRECIATION  AND  AMORTIZATION.  Depreciation  and  amortization  expense
increased  26.7%,  or $0.4  million,  from $1.5 million in the first  quarter of
1997, to $1.9 million in the first quarter of 1998.  This  increased  expense is
due to the depreciation of assets acquired to support continued expansion of the
Company's network and amortization  related to acquired  businesses and customer
bases.

      INTEREST EXPENSE, NET. Interest expense, net, increased to $0.4 million in
the first quarter of 1998 due to interest  associated with the Company's capital
leases and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

      NET LOSS. Net loss increased 71.1%, or $3.2 million,  from $1.3 million in
the first quarter of 1997, to $4.5 million in the first quarter of 1998,  due to
the above factors.

                                       8

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      The Company's  liquidity  requirements  arise from working  capital needs,
primarily the cost of services;  selling,  general and administrative  expenses;
debt service;  and capital costs  associated with the expansion of switching and
network capacity. The Company is a holding company the principal assets of which
are the capital stock of its direct subsidiaries. The Company has no independent
means of generating  revenues.  As a holding  company,  the  Company's  internal
sources of funds to meet its cash  needs,  including  payment of  expenses,  are
dividends   and  other   permitted   payments   from  its  direct  and  indirect
subsidiaries. Historically, the Company's working capital requirements have been
funded primarily from the sale of equity  securities,  bank borrowings and loans
from shareholders.

      As of May 6, 1998,  availability  under the Revolving Credit Agreement was
approximately  $21.0 million,  of which  approximately  $15.1 million (including
approximately $0.7 million of letters of credit) had been utilized.  As of May 6
1998,  the  Company  was in  compliance  with  all  covenants  contained  in the
Revolving Credit Agreement.

      During the first  quarter of 1998,  the Company  acquired  $0.6 million in
assets via a capital lease, financed by a commercial bank. The Company currently
has  capital  commitments  of  approximately  $1.2  million.  Pending  available
financing,  the Company has identified  approximately $9.0 million of additional
capital expenditures  designed to expand the Company's  operations.  The Company
currently is reviewing various alternative financing arrangements.  There can be
no assurance,  however,  that such alternative  financing  arrangements  will be
available, or if available, on terms acceptable to the Company.

      From time to time, the Company  evaluates  acquisitions  of businesses and
customer bases which  complement  the business of the Company.  Depending on the
cash   requirements   of  potential   transactions,   the  Company  may  finance
transactions  with cash flow from  operations,  with  funds  from the  Revolving
Credit Agreement or may raise  additional  funds by pursuing  various  financing
vehicles such as new bank  financing or one or more public  offerings or private
placements of the Company's  securities.  The Company,  however,  has no present
understanding, commitment or agreement with respect to any acquisition and there
can be no assurance that any such  acquisition  will occur, or that the funds to
finance any such acquisition will be available on reasonable terms or at all.

      Based on  management's  projections,  the Company  believes that cash from
operations  and the available  funds under the Revolving  Credit  Agreement will
provide sufficient funds for its operating needs for the foreseeable future. The
Company is seeking additional financing arrangements to fund the $9.0 million of
additional  capital  expenditures  discussed  above.  There can be no assurance,
however, that such alternative financing  arrangements will be available,  or if
available,  on terms  acceptable to the Company.  If additional funds are needed
and sources are not available,  the Company's business and results of operations
could be materially adversely affected.

      Reference  is  made  to  the  "Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in the Company's Annual
Report  on Form  10-K  for the  fiscal  year  ended  December  31,  1997,  for a
description of certain factors which may affect the Company's future results.

PROPOSED MERGER

      In February 1998, the Company entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan
of Merger, which was subsequently amended by Amendments No. 1 and 2, dated as of
April 8, 1998 and April 16, 1998, respectively, with Primus and Taurus. Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended, it is contemplated
that Taurus will merge with and into the  Company,  that the Company will be the
surviving  corporation  and that  Primus  will  acquire  100% of the  issued and
outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. The transaction is expected to
be  completed  during the second  quarter of 1998 and is subject to, among other
things, the approval of both Primus' and the Company's  shareholders and certain
regulatory authorities.
