                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, which should be 
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes 
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 
ended June 30, 1997, are unaudited (except for the June 30, 1997 consolidated 
balance sheet, which was derived from the Company's audited financial 
statements), but have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles for interim financial information.  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 only of normal recurring 
adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 1997 are not 
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire 
fiscal year ending June 30, 1998.

2.  Inventories

Inventories consist of the following (in Thousands):

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

    The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with 
the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the 
Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The Company believes that all 
necessary adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) have 
been included in the amounts stated below to present fairly the following 
quarterly information.  Quarterly operating results have varied significantly 
in the past and can be expected to vary in the future.  Results of operations 
for any particular quarter are not necessarily indicative of results of 
operations for a full year.

FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION 

    Certain information contained herein contains forward-looking statements 
(as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) 
regarding future events or the future financial performance of the Company, 
and are subject to a number of risks and other factors which could cause the 
actual results of the Company to differ materially from those contained in 
and anticipated by the forward-looking statements.  Among such factors are: 
industry concentration and the Company's dependence on major customers, 
competition, risks associated with international operations and entry into 
new markets, government regulation, variability in operating results, general 
business and economic conditions; customer acceptance of and demand for the 
Company's new products, the Company's overall ability to design, test, and 
introduce new products on a timely basis, reliance on third parties and other 
telecommunication carriers, the Company's ability to manage change, 
dependence on key personnel, dependence on information systems and changes in 
technology, and possible service interruptions.  The forward-looking 
statements contained herein are necessarily dependent upon assumptions, 
estimates and data that may be incorrect or imprecise.  Accordingly, any 
forward-looking statements included herein do not purport to be predictions 
of future events or circumstances and may not be realized.  Forward-looking 
statements contained herein include, but are not limited to, forecasts, 
projections and statements relating to inflation, future acquisitions and 
anticipated capital expenditures.  All forecasts and projections in this 
report are based on management's current expectations of the Company's near 
term results, based on current information available pertaining to the 
Company, including the aforementioned risk factors.  Actual results could 
differ materially.

OVERVIEW

    The Company's total sales are derived from the provision of a variety of 
services, including telecom and carrier services, land mobile services and 
product resales.  Telecom and carrier services include the resale of long 
distance telecommunications services, the provision of private leased lines, 
the resale of equipment and the provision of related services to furnish and 
install 

                                       6
<PAGE>

telecommunications systems.  The Company recently installed a tandem switch 
at its facility in Houston, Texas to provide services as a switch-based long 
distance carrier and is currently completing the installation of its Gulf 
Coast regional network.  Land mobile services consist of the rental, sale, 
service and maintenance of two-way radio communications systems.

    In connection with product resales, the Company serves as the exclusive 
manufacturer's representative of Alcatel products to the U.S. oil and gas 
industry.  In fiscal 1996 and 1997, the Company provided services to Shell 
Offshore Services Company, which included the resale of a significant amount 
of Alcatel products.  For the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1997, Shell 
purchased from the Company approximately $10.6 million and $7.6 million of 
Alcatel products and other equipment and hardware, representing approximately 
38.0% and 25.2%, respectively, of total sales during such periods.  Although 
profitable, the sale of Alcatel products to Shell significantly reduced the 
Company's gross margin in these periods.  The Shell project was substantially 
completed in fiscal 1997 and, therefore, did not contribute in a material 
manner to the Company's total sales in the quarter ended September 30, 1997 
and is not expected to contribute in a material manner to the Company's total 
sales in future periods.

    The Company was founded in 1981 as a contract supplier of communications 
technology installation and equipment leasing services, and over the ensuing 
years broadened the scope of its service offerings to include microwave, 
two-way radio and related wireless services and technologies for an expanded 
customer base, primarily comprised of major oil and gas companies operating 
in the Gulf of Mexico region.  During this period, the Company began to 
provide an increasing variety of services to its oil and gas customers in 
other remote and underdeveloped regions around the world, including 
communications services for special projects with critical timing and other 
extreme or unusual challenges.

    To support its international expansion, in 1994 the Company began 
providing telecommunications services and network support inside the former 
Soviet Union to United States oil and gas customers.  As the Company expanded 
its service offerings and developed greater infrastructure, it commenced 
service as a switchless reseller of long distance services in the United 
States in 1994.  The Company is continuing to expand its network through a 
recently-acquired tandem switch and the installation of fiber optic cable and 
microwave radios in targeted service areas.  In connection with such 
expansion, the Company has also received CLEC status in Texas and has applied 
for CLEC status in Louisiana.

    While annual growth rates of the Company's total sales since 1992 have 
ranged from 6.3% to 76.0%, the Company's quarterly operating results have 
varied significantly in the past, and can be expected to vary in the future.  
These fluctuations in operating results generally are caused by a number of 
factors, including changes in the Company's services and product mix, levels 
of product resales, adverse weather conditions in customer locations, the 
degree to which the Company encounters competition in its existing or target 
markets, general economic conditions, the volume and timing of orders 
received during the period, sales and marketing expenses related to entering 
new markets, the timing of new product or service introductions by the 
Company or its competitors and changes in billing rates by the Company or its 
competitors.

</TABLE>

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996

    TOTAL SALES.  Total sales decreased $1.5 million or 22.5% to $5.4 million 
for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $6.9 million for the three 
months ended September 30, 1996.  This decrease was comprised of an increase 
of $163,000 or 3.6% in the Company's telecom and carrier services, an 
increase of $84,000 or 16.0% in the Company's land mobile services and a 
decrease of $1.8 million or 100% in product resales to a single customer.  
The increase in telecom and carrier revenues was largely attributable to 
increased traffic on the Company's telecom network in the Gulf of Mexico and 
the continued expansion of the Company's ODDS services in the  Gulf of 
Mexico. The increase in Land Mobile resulted from increased marketing.  The 
product resales were substantially completed in fiscal 1997.

    GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit increased $564,000 or 30.4% to $2.4 million 
for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $1.9 million for the three 
months ended September 30, 1996, representing gross margins of 45.2% and 
26.9%, respectively.  The increase in margin was due in principal part to the 
completion of the product resale to a single customer in May 1997 and from 
changes in the Company's sales mix to higher margin services.  Excluding 
product resales, gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 1996 
would have been approximately $1.7 million representing a gross margin of 
34.0%. 

    SELLING EXPENSES.  Selling expenses increased $141,000 or 64.1% to 
$361,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $220,000 for the 
three months ended September 30, 1996.  Selling expenses as a percentage of 
total sales increased to 6.7% from 3.2% during these respective periods.  The 
increase in selling expenses resulted from the addition of sales personnel 
and from increases in travel and advertising.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  General and administrative expenses 
increased $100,000 or 8.3% to $1.3 million for the three months ended 
September 30, 1997 from $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 
1996.  As a percentage of total sales, general and administrative expenses 
increased to 24.1% for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from 17.3% 
for the three months ended September 30, 1996.  The increase in general and 
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was primarily due to the 
decline in product resales overall.  The increases in the dollar amount of 
general and administrative expenses over these periods were due in principal 
part to increased telephone expense, insurance expense, rent expense and 
legal expenses. 

    DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION.  Depreciation and amortization increased 
$175,000 or 59.7% to $467,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 
from $293,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1996.  This increase 
was 

                                       8
<PAGE>

primarily attributable to the acquisition of an additional $4.6 million of 
property, plant and equipment, comprised of $3.8 million in equipment for 
satellite, microwave and other equipment, $507,000 for computers, furniture 
and fixtures, service vehicles and test equipment and $292,000 for buildings 
and improvements.

    NET INTEREST EXPENSE.  Net interest expense increased $20,000 or 22.2% to 
$110,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $90,000 for the 
three months ended September 30, 1996.  The Company's borrowings increased to 
$8.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $5.5 million 
for the three months ended September 30, 1996. The increase in borrowings was 
used to fund acquisitions of property, plant and equipment.

    OTHER INCOME, NET.  Other income for the three months ended September 30, 
1997 included the gain of $66,000 resulting from the disposition of the 
Company's 50% ownership in Kenwood Systems Group as well as certain other 
asset dispositions.  Other income for the three months ended September 30, 
1996 and 1997 included the Company's 50% ownership interest in the earnings 
of Kenwood Systems Group as well as certain other asset dispositions.

    INCOME TAX EXPENSE.  Provision for income taxes increased $68,000 or 247% 
to $95,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $27,500 for the 
three months ended September 30, 1996 which represents an effective tax rate 
of 31.6% and 34.1% for each period, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES  

    During the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company used $442,000
of cash in operating activities, borrowed an additional net amount of 
$34,000 from credit facilities, and received $303,000 from the sale and 
issuance of Common Stock.  The Company invested $3.3 million in property and 
equipment (net of proceeds of $15,000 from certain dispositions of assets) 
and reduced its investment in an unconsolidated subsidiary by $428,324 
through disposition. These activities decreased the Company's cash balance by 
$3.0 million to a balance of $4.7 million at September 30, 1997.

    The Company's working capital declined to $7.1 million at September 30, 
1997 from $9.7 million at June 30, 1997.  Accounts receivable decreased 
$155,000 from $5.7 million at June 30, 1996 to $5.6 million at September 30, 
1997, while inventory decreased from $1.9 million at June 30, 1997 to $1.0 
million at September 30, 1997.  In addition, the current portion of notes 
payable increased from $964,000 at June 30, 1996 to $1.5 million at September 
30, 1997, while deferred revenue and customer deposits decreased from $77,000 
at June 30, 1997 to $51,000 at September 30, 1997.

    The Company recently completed three credit facilities with a new lender 
to refinance its prior credit facility, provide working capital and finance 
equipment to be leased by the Company to its customers.  In May 1997, the 
Company entered into a commitment to obtain a secured revolving line of 
credit (the "Working Capital Loan"), a secured guidance line of credit (the 
"Guidance Line"), and a term facility (the "Term Loan") from Bank One, Texas, 
N.A. The Working Capital Loan and Guidance Line were finalized as of August 
1, 1997, and the Term Loan was finalized as of August 28, 1997.

    The maximum amount of the Working Capital Loan is $5.0 million subject to 
a borrowing base based on accounts receivables and inventory.  The proceeds 
of the Working Capital Loan are to be used for working capital needs and 
general corporate purposes.  Proceeds of the Working Capital Loan were used 
initially to extinguish the Company's then-existing revolving credit facility 
with Marine Midland Business Loans, Inc., which required a prepayment penalty 
payable by the Company in the amount of 1% of the maximum amount of the 
Marine Midland line of credit facility.  The maximum amount of the Guidance 
Line is $5.0 million, which will be used to finance the Company's purchase 
and subsequent lease of telecommunications equipment.  The Term Loan and the 
Working Capital Loan are collateralized by substantially all of the personal 
property of the Company. The Guidance Line is secured specifically by the 
equipment purchased with the proceeds thereof and by an assignment of the 
leases of such equipment, as well as the other personal property of the 
Company.  The interest rate on each facility is, at the Company's option, 
Bank One's base rate or 30, 60 or 90 day adjusted LIBOR plus 2.40% (2.50% in 
the case of the Guidance Line).  The interest rate will be subject to 
downward adjustment in certain circumstances as specified in the credit 
agreement.  The entire unpaid principal balance and accrued but unpaid 
interest for the Working Capital Loan will be due on October 31, 1998 and for 
the Guidance Loan will be due on May 1, 1998.  The Term Loan matures on 
September 1, 2001.

    Borrowing availability under the Working Capital Loan is based upon 
eligible accounts receivable and inventory, and a fee equal to 0.25% will be 
charged on any unused portion of the Working Capital Loan.  In addition, 
fundings under the Guidance Line will only be permitted with respect to 
communications equipment and installation pursuant to leases which 

                                       9

(a) have a term of not more than 60 months or the estimated useful life of 
the leased equipment, (b) have been assigned to the lender as collateral for 
the Loans and (c) have as lessees companies formed and with principal offices 
in the United States.  The Loans will be collateralized by substantially all 
of the Company's assets.  The Company is able to reduce the commitment under 
the Working Capital Loan and is able to make voluntary prepayments on the 
Guidance Line without prepayment penalty.  The Loans are cross-defaulted and 
cross-collateralized. The credit agreement prohibits the payment of dividends 
without prior approval of the lender and requires the Company to maintain 
certain covenants and financial ratios including working capital and net 
worth ratios.  The credit agreement also prohibits certain changes in the 
Company's basic business or in its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial 
Officer and President positions, without prior lender approval.

    The Company entered into an agreement in December 1996 to acquire 
microwave radios from a customer.  The purchase price for the radios was $1.1 
million, of which $25,000 was paid by the Company upon execution of the 
agreement, $225,000 was paid on April 1, 1997, and the balance due is 
evidenced by a note payable by the Company.  The balance will be carried in a 
note payable to the customer bearing interest at 6.75% with monthly principal 
and interest payments to begin in July 1997, with a final payment of 
principal and interest to be made in June 2007.

    The Company anticipates that, based on current plans and assumptions 
relating to its operations, its financial resources and equipment financing 
arrangements will be sufficient to fund the Company's growth and operations 
through the end of its fiscal year ending June 30, 1998.  The Company 
believes that its capital needs at the end of such period will continue to be 
significant and, therefore, the Company will continue to seek additional 
sources of capital. Further, in the event the Company's plans or assumptions 
change or prove to be inaccurate, or if the Company consummates any unplanned 
acquisitions of businesses or assets, the Company may be required to seek 
additional sources of capital sooner than currently anticipated.  Sources of 
additional capital may include public and private equity and debt financings, 
sales of nonstrategic assets and other financing arrangements.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

    In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." As a result of this 
statement, the Company began to provide additional disclosures related to its 
stock-based compensation plans in its fiscal 1997 financial statements.  
Adoption of SFAS No. 123 did not have a material effect on the Company's 
financial position or results of operations.  The Financial Accounting 
Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" in February 1997, 
which will not have a material effect on the Company's calculation of primary 
and fully diluted earnings per share.

CONTINGENCIES

    The Company is party to ordinary litigation incidental to its business, 
none of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on the results of 
operations, financial position or liquidity of the Company.

YEAR 2000

    As the year 2000 approaches, the Company recognizes the need to ensure 
its operations will not be adversely impacted by Year 2000 computer software 
failures.  The Company is addressing this issue to ensure the availability 
and integrity of its financial systems and the reliability of its operational 
systems.  The Company has established processes for evaluating and managing 
the risks and costs associated with this problem.  The Company has and will 
continue to make certain investments in its software systems and applications 
to ensure the Company is Year 2000 compliant.  The financial impact to the 
Company has not yet been fully determined, however such impact is not 
anticipated to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
