                      IWL COMMUNICATIONS, INCORPORATED
                 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 Transitional Report on Form 10-K for the period 
ended December 31, 1997, are unaudited (the December 31, 1997 consolidated 
balance sheet 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.  Accounting 
measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on 
estimates than at year end.

The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1998 are not 
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal 
year.

2.   Inventories

Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

3.   Earnings Per Share

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 
No. 128 (FAS 128), "Earnings Per Share".  Statement 128 replaced the 
previously reported primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic 
and diluted earnings per share.  Unlike primary earnings per share, basic 
earning 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 necessary, restated to 
conform to the Statement 128 requirements.

4.   Acquisitions

     In January 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of Integrated 
Communications and Engineering, Ltd. (ICEL), a communications systems 
integrator and maintenance provider in Aberdeen, Scotland.  The Company paid 
a total purchase price of approximately $2.7 million comprised of $380,000 in 
cash and 207,266 shares of the Company's common stock.

     The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and was effective as of 
January 1, 1998; therefore, the statement of operations for the six months 
and three months ended June 30, 1998 reflects the operations of ICEL.  The 
goodwill resulting from the acquisition is being amortized over 7 and 20 
years.

5.   Notes Payable

     The Company was in violation of the financial covenants requiring 
maintenance of a current ratio at December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998 and a 
fixed charge ratio at June 30, 1998, and also was in technical default of a 
covenant requiring the lender's consent to the Combination (as defined 
below). The Company has obtained a waiver of these covenant violations and 
has obtained the lender's consent to the Combination.  The waiver of the 
financial covenant requiring maintenance of a current ratio extends through 
August 31, 1998 and, accordingly, the Company was not technically in 
violation of such covenant at June 30, 1998.  On June 17, 1998, the Company 
was extended additional credit under a Short-Term Facility by the lender up 
to $4.0 million.  The Short-Term Facility, the Term Loan, and all other 
amounts due to the lender will mature on August 31, 1998.

6.   Business Combination

     The Company announced in February 1998 that it had entered into a 
definitive agreement to combine through mergers and an interest exchange (the 
"Combination") with CapRock Communications Corp. (formerly IWL Holdings 
Corp.) ("CapRock"), CapRock Telecommunications Corp. (formerly CapRock 
Communications Corp.) ("Telecommunications") and CapRock Fiber Network, Ltd. 
(the "Partnership").  The Combination is subject to, among other matters, 
approval by the shareholders of the Company and Telecommunications and the 
partners of the Partnership.

7.   Subsequent Events
     
     In July 1998, CapRock, Telecommunications and the Partnership (with the 
Company as guarantor) issued, through a private placement under Rule 144A 
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, $150 million aggregate 
principal amount of their 12% Senior Notes due 2008 (the "Notes"), which 
closed on July 16, 1998. Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually 
in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 
1999, at the rate of 12% per annum.  The net proceeds from the offering were 
initially placed in a segregated escrow account and will be released only in 
accordance with the provisions of an escrow agreement. Upon consummation of 
the Combination, (i) the proceeds in such escrow account will be released to 
CapRock, (ii) Telecommunications and the Partnership will no longer be 
co-obligors under the Notes, and (iii) the Company will be released from its 
obligations in connection with the special offer to purchase.  If the 
Combination is not consummated by August 31, 1998, CapRock, 
Telecommunications, and the Partnership will be required to offer to purchase 
the Notes (the "Special Offer to Purchase") at a price equal to 101% of the 
principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the 
date of such repurchase.  To the extent the amounts held in the escrow 
account are insufficient to repurchase all tendered Notes, each of CapRock, 
Telecommunications, the Partnership, and the Company (as guarantor) shall be 
jointly and severally liable to fund any such deficiency (with an estimated 
contingent liability of not more than approximately $7.0 million).  There can 
be no assurance that CapRock, Telecommunications, the Partnership and IWL 
will have sufficient funds available at the time of such offer to purchase to 
repay all Notes tendered.

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 Transitional Report on Form 10-K for the period from July 1, 
1997 to December 31, 1997.  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 

<PAGE>

quarterly information. Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently 
involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end.  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: 
completion of the Combination, 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 any 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 revenues are derived from the provision of a variety 
of services, including telecommunications services, project and other 
revenue. Telecommunications services include the resale of long distance 
telecommunications services, the provision of private leased lines, and lease 
or rental of telecommunications systems connected with the provision of 
telecommunications services. Project and other services consist of the 
performance of telecommunications projects involving the engineering and 
integration of telecommunications systems and the sales, service and 
maintenance of telecommunications equipment.

     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 1997, the Company provided services to Shell Offshore Services 
Company, which included the resale of a significant amount of Alcatel 
products. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, Shell purchased from the 
Company approximately $2.9 million of Alcatel products and other equipment 
and hardware, representing approximately 11.1% of total sales during such 
periods.  Although profitable, the sale of Alcatel products to Shell 
significantly reduced the Company's gross margin in this period.  The Shell 
project was substantially completed in May 1997 and, therefore, 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 Louisiana.

<PAGE>

     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. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1998

     TOTAL REVENUES.  Total revenues increased $1.9 million or 28.4% from 
$6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $8.6 million for the 
three months ended June 30, 1998.  This increase was comprised of an increase 
of $3.1 million or 249.4% in the Company's telecommunications services, a 
decrease of $794,000 or 15.7% in the Company's project and other services 
revenue and a decrease of $439,000 or 100% in product resales to a single 
customer.  The increase in telecommunications services was largely 
attributable to the expansion of the Company's ODDS services and increased 
network traffic.  The decrease in projects and other revenues resulted from 
decreased sales of telecommunications equipment and related services and 
lower telecommunications project revenues.  The product resale to a single 
customer were substantially completed in May 1997.

     GROSS MARGIN.  Gross profit increased $644,000 or 26.8% from $2.4 
million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $3.0 million for the 
three months ended June 30, 1998, representing gross margins of 35.0% and 
34.9%, respectively.  Excluding product resales, gross profit for the three 
months ended June 30, 1997 would have been approximately $2.3 million 
representing a gross margin of 37.0%. The decrease in margin percentage 
reflects increased cost from the Company's network expansion and changes in 
revenue mix for the period. 

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and 
administrative expenses increased $903,000 or 60.2% from $1.5 million for the 
three months ended June 30, 1997 to $2.4 million for the three months ended 
June 30, 1998.  As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and 
administrative expenses increased from 22.3% for the three months ended June 
30, 1997 to 28.0% for the three months ended June 30, 1998.  The increase 
in selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales and 
in dollar amount were due in part to the completion of the product resale in 
May 1997 and to increased personnel and internal structure to support revenue 
growth and an expanded network.  

     DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization increased 
$302,000 or 71.9% from $420,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to 
$722,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998.  This increase was 
primarily attributable to the acquisition of an additional $10.3 million of 
property, plant and equipment, comprised of $9.0 million in satellite, 
microwave and other telecommunications equipment, $1.2 million for computers, 
furniture and fixtures, service vehicles and test equipment and $100,000 for 
building and improvements.

     NET INTEREST EXPENSE.  Net interest expenses increased $22,000 or 12.6% 
from $175,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $197,000 for the 
three months ended June 30, 1998.  The Company's borrowings increased from 
$8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $11.6 million for 
the three months ended June 30, 1998.  The increase in borrowings was used to 
fund acquisitions of property, plant and equipment.

     OTHER INCOME, NET.  Other income for the three months ended June 30, 
1997 included the Company's 50% ownership interest in the earnings of Kenwood 
Systems Group as well as certain other asset dispositions.  Other income for 
the three months ended June 30, 1998 was comprised of the Company's 50% 
ownership interest in the earnings of the Joint Venture as well as certain 
other asset dispositions.  

     INCOME TAX EXPENSE.  Provision for income taxes decreased $99,000 or 
182.2% from $54,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to ($45,000) for 
the three months ended June 30, 1998 which represents an effective tax rate 
of 21.3% and 20.7% for each period, respectively.

COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1998

     TOTAL REVENUES.  Total revenues increased $1.9 million or 12.9% from 
$14.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $16.6 million for the 
six months ended June 30, 1998.  This increase was comprised of an increase 
of $3.6 million or 102.9% in the Company's telecommunications services, an 
increase of $1.3 million or 15.9% in the Company's projects and other 
revenues and a decrease of $2.9 million or 100% in product resales to a 
single customer.  The increase in telecommunications services was largely 
attributable to the continued expansion of the Company's ODDS services and 
increased traffic on the Company's network.  The growth in project and other 
revenues resulted from increased sales of telecommunications equipment and 
related services.  The product resales were substantially completed in May 
1997.

     GROSS MARGIN.  Gross profit increased $2.0 million or 39.1% from $4.6 
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $6.6 million for the six 
months ended June 30, 1998, representing gross margins of 31.6% and 39.8%, 
respectively.  The increase in margin was due in part to the completion of 
the product resale to a single customer in May 1997 and from changes in the 
Company's revenues mix to higher margin services.  Excluding product resales, 
gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 1997 would have been 
approximately $4.0 million representing a gross margin of 34.4%. 

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and 
administrative expenses increased $1.5 million or 48.4% from $3.1 million for 
the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $4.6 million for the six months ended 
June 30, 1998.  As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and 
administrative expenses increased from 21.1% for the six months ended June 
30, 1997 to 27.6% for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  The increase in 
the selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales and 
in dollar amount were due in principal part to the completion of the product 
resale in May 1997 and to increased personnel and internal structure to 
support revenue growth and an expanded network. 

     DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION.  Depreciation and amortization increased 
$602,000 or 78.4% from $768,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to 
$1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998.  This increase was the 
result primarily from increases in property, plant and equipment for 
infrastructure and network expansion.

     NET INTEREST EXPENSE.  Net interest expense increased $51,000 or 17.0% 
from $300,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $351,000 for the six 
months ended June 30, 1998.  The increase resulted from increased borrowings 
to fund the Company's infrastructure expansion.

     OTHER INCOME, NET.  Other income decreased $5,000 or 4.5% from $110,000 
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $105,000 for the six months ended 
June 30, 1998. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 included 
the Company's 50% ownership interest in the earnings of Kenwood System Group 
as well as certain other asset dispositions.  Other income for the six months 
ended June 30, 1998 included the Company's 50% ownership interest in the 
earnings of the Joint Venture as well as certain other asset dispositions. 

     INCOME TAX EXPENSE.  Provision for income taxes increased $60,000 or 
40.3% from $149,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $209,000 for 
the six months ended June 30, 1998 which represents an effective tax rate of 
25.8% and 49.0% for each period, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company used $431,000 of 
cash in operating activities, borrowed an additional net amount of $2.0 
million from credit facilities, and received $60,000 from the sale and 
issuance of Common Stock.  The Company invested $4.0 million in property and 
equipment (net of proceeds of $201,000 from certain dispositions of assets).  
The Company also expended $610,000 to acquire Integrated Communications and 
Engineering, LTD. in January, 1998. The increase in property, plant and 
equipment reflects the Company's work in progress in relation to the 
deployment of the Company's ODDS program and the development of its Gulf 
Coast network.  These activities decreased the Company's cash balance by $3.0 
million to a balance of $359,000 at June 30, 1998.

<PAGE>

     The Company has four credit facilities with Bank One, Texas, N.A., its 
primary lender, to provide working capital and to finance equipment to be 
leased by the Company to its customers.  The Company has a secured revolving 
line of credit (the "Working Capital Loan"), a secured guidance line of 
credit (the "Guidance Line"), a term facility (the "Term Loan"), and a 
short-term facility issued on June 17, 1998 under the existing revolving 
credit agreement ("Short-Term Facility") from Bank One, Texas, N.A.  The 
maximum amount of the Working Capital Loan is $5.0 million subject to a 
borrowing base based on accounts receivables and inventory.  The maximum 
amount of the Guidance Line is $5.0 million, which is used to finance the 
Company's purchase and subsequent lease of telecommunications equipment.  The 
Term Loan, the Short-Term Facility and the Working Capital Loan are 
collateralized by substantially all of the personal property of the Company. 
The Guidance Line is reduced by the term loan created as the leased equipment 
is deployed.  The interest rate on each facility is, at Company's option, 
Bank One, Texas, N.A.'s base rate or 30, 60 or 90 day adjusted LIBOR plus 
2.40%.  The interest rate will be subject to downward adjustment in certain 
circumstances as specified in the credit agreement.  The Guidance Line 
expired on June 30, 1998.  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.  The Company was in violation of the financial covenants requiring 
maintenance of a current ratio at December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998 and a 
fixed charge ratio at June 30, 1998, and also was in technical default of a 
covenant requiring the lender's consent to the Combination.  The Company has 
obtained a waiver of these covenant violations and has obtained the lender's 
consent to the Combination. The waiver of the financial covenant requiring 
maintenance of a current ratio extends through August 31, 1998 and, 
accordingly, the Company was not technically in violation of such covenant at 
June 30, 1998.  On June 17, 1998, the lender extended the Company additional 
credit under the Short-Term Facility of up to $4.0 million.  At June 30, 
1998, the Company had $4.0 million available under the Short-Term Facility 
and was fully advanced under the Working Capital Loan.  The Short-Term 
Facility, the Term Loan and the Working Capital Loan and all other amounts 
due the lender will mature on August 31, 1998.  CapRock, which will become 
the parent of the combined entities upon consummation of the Combination, 
intends to use part of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes to repay 
indebtedness owing by the Company to Bank One, Texas, N.A.  If the 
Combination is not consummated by August 31, 1998 (and as a result, the net 
proceeds from the issuance of the Notes are not available to CapRock), the 
Company intends to renegotiate the terms of its loans from Bank One, Texas, 
N.A. If such negotiations are not successful, the Company will seek 
additional sources of financing.  No assurance can be given that such 
financing will be available or, if available, that the terms will be 
satisfactory.  See Item 1 - Financial Information - Notes to Consolidated 
Financial Statements (Note 6).

     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 
for approximately [12] months from the date hereof.  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 PRONOUNCEMENTS

     The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, 
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.  SFAS No. 130 
requires classification of items of other comprehensive income by nature in a 
financial statement and a breakout of the accumulated balance of other 
comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid in 
capital in the equity section of a statement of financial position. 
Reporting comprehensive income provides a measure of all changes in equity 
that result from recognized transactions and other economic events of the 
period other than transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. 
Adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's 
consolidated financial position or results of operation because there are no 
material differences between net income and comprehensive income in the 
Company's circumstances.

     In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosure About Segments of 
an Enterprise and Related Information ("SFAS 131").  SFAS 131 establishes 
standards for the manner in which business enterprises are to report 
information about operating statements in its annual statements and requires 
those enterprises to report selected information regarding operating segments 
in interim financial reports issued to shareholders.  It also establishes 
standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic 
areas and major customers. SFAS 131 is effective for fiscal years beginning 
after December 15, 1997. Financial statement disclosures for prior periods 
are required to be restated. The Company is in the process of evaluating the 
disclosure requirements.  The adoption of SFAS 131 will not have an impact on 
the Company's results of operation, financial position or cash flows and any 
effect will be limited to the presentation of its disclosures.

     In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative 
Instruments and Hedging Activity" ("SFAS 133") which requires that all 
derivatives be recognized in the statement of financial position as either 
assets or liabilities and measured at fair value.  In addition, all hedging 
relationships must be designated, reassessed and documented pursuant to the 
provisions of SFAS No. 133.  SFAS 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning 
after June 15, 1999.  The adoption of SFAS 133 will not have an impact on the 
Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

CONTINGENCIES

     The Company is not currently a party to any litigation.  However, the 
Company is from time to time a party to ordinary litigation incidental to its 
business, none of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on the 
results of operation, financial condition or cash flow 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 financial condition, 
results of operations or cash flow of the Company.

Item 2.   Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

     On June 12, 1997 (the "Effective Date"), the Company's Registration 
Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-22801) relating to its initial 
public offering (the "IPO") was declared effective and the offering of up to 
1,667,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock covered by such Registration 
Statement commenced.  The IPO was managed by Cruttenden Roth Incorporated, as 
the representative (the "Representative") of the several underwriters (the 
"Underwriters") of the IPO.  Of the shares of Common Stock sold by the 
Company, 1,450,000 shares were sold in June 1997 and 62,495 shares (which 
were subject to an overallotment option granted by the Company to the 
Underwriters) were sold in July 1997.  From the Effective Date of the IPO 
until June 30, 1998, total expenses of approximately $1,775,097 were incurred 
for the Company's account in connection with the 1,512,495 shares of Common 
Stock sold in the IPO, which expenses consisted of: (i) $635,000 representing 
underwriting discounts and commissions paid to the Underwriters; (ii) 
$272,000 representing a nonaccountable expense allowance paid to the 
Representative; and (iii) other offering expenses, including without 
limitation, attorney's fees, accountants' fees, printing costs and filing 
fees, of approximately $868,097.  None of such expense payments were direct 
or indirect payments to directors or officers of the Company or their 
associates or to persons owning 10 percent or more of any class of equity 
securities of the Company or to affiliates of the Company.  The net offering 
proceeds of 1,512,495 shares sold by the Company in the IPO, after deducting 
such total expenses, was approximately $7.3 million  through June 30, 1998.  
The Company had expended $6.1 million on infrastructure, property and 
equipment, retired debt of $667,000, and used $533,000 for working capital 
support.
