                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 1998 and for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1998 of Evercom, Inc. and
Subsidiaries (formerly Talton Holdings, Inc.) (the "Company") have been prepared
by the Company without audit.

     In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments (which include only
normal recurring adjustments) to present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and
for the respective periods, have been made.  Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's 1997 consolidated financial statements contained in its Form 10-K as
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 1998.

     COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income," became effective as of the first quarter of 1998.  This
statement requires companies to report and display comprehensive income and its
components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses).  Comprehensive income
includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from
investments by owners and distributions to owners.  For the Company,
comprehensive income is the same as net loss reported in the statements of
consolidated operations, since there were no other items of comprehensive income
for the periods presented.

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

OVERVIEW

     The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from its operation of
inmate telecommunication systems located in correctional facilities in 43 states
and the provision of related services. The Company enters into multi-year
agreements with the correctional facilities, pursuant to which the Company
serves as the exclusive provider of telecommunications services to inmates
within each facility. In exchange for the exclusive service rights, the Company
pays a percentage of its revenues from each correctional facility as a
commission to that facility. The Company installs and generally retains
ownership of the telephones and the associated equipment and provides additional
services to the correctional facility that are tailored to the specialized needs
of the corrections industry and to the requirements of the individual
correctional facility, such as call activity reporting and call blocking. The
Company also generates revenues from public pay telephones that are ancillary to
its inmate telephone business.

     The Company became the holding company for the operations of AmeriTel Pay
Phones, Inc. ("AmeriTel") and Talton Telecommunications Corporation and
Subsidiary ("Talton Telecommunications"), effective December 1, 1996. The
Company also acquired the operations of Tri-T, Inc. ("Tataka") on April 4, 1997,
Security Telecom Corporation ("STC") on June 27, 1997, Correctional
Communications Corporation ("CCC") on July 31, 1997, the inmate payphone
division of Communications Central, Inc. ("InVision") on October 6, 1997, the
inmate payphone division of North American InTeleCom ("NAI") on December 1,
1997, the inmate payphone division of Peoples Telephone Corporation ("PTC") on
December 18, 1997, the inmate payphone division of ILD Teleservices, Inc.
("ILD") on January 1, 1998 and MOG Communications, Inc. ("MOG") on February 1,
1998 (collectively the "Acquisitions"). The Acquisitions were accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting as of their respective acquisition dates
and, accordingly, only the results of operations of the acquired companies
subsequent to their respective acquisition dates are included in the operating
results of the Company.

     The Company accumulates call activity data from its various installations
and bills its revenues related to this call activity through major local
exchange carriers ("LECs") or through third-party billing services. In addition,
during the same period, the Company accrues the related telecommunications costs
for validating, transmitting, billing and collection, and line and long-distance
charges, along with commissions payable to the facilities and allowances for bad
debts based on historical experience.

     The Company's principal operating expenses consist of (i) telecommunication
costs; (ii) commissions paid to correctional facilities, which are typically
expressed as a percentage of either gross or net revenues and are fixed for the
term of the agreements with the facilities; (iii) field operations and
maintenance costs, which consist primarily of field service on the Company's
installed base of inmate telephones; and (iv) selling, general, and
administrative costs. The Company pays monthly line and usage charges to
regional bell operating companies ("RBOCs") and other LECs for interconnection
to the local network for local calls, which are computed on a flat monthly
charge plus, for certain LECs, on a per message or per minute usage rate based
on the time and duration of the call. The Company also pays fees to RBOCs and
other LECs and long distance carriers based on usage for long distance calls.

</TABLE>

  THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998, COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

     Operating Revenues. The Company's operating revenues increased by $39.4
million, or 262.7%, from $15.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997
to $ 54.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The increase in
operating revenues was primarily due to acquisitions by the Company of STC,
CCC, Invision, PTC, and NAI during 1997, the acquisitions of MOG and ILD in the
first quarter of 1998, and the addition of contracts covering new facilities.
The Company acquired contracts for 905 facilities through acquisitions, winning
new bids for new contracts for county and city facilities, as well as winning
bids for new contracts in the states of North Carolina, North Dakota and Alaska.
As of June 30, 1998, the Company served 2,046 correctional facilities in 43
states, of which 51 were private facilities.

     Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses increased $40.0 million, from
$15.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $55.0 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1998. Operating expenses as a percentage of
operating revenues increased 1.2% from 99.9% for the three months ended June 30,
1997 to 101.1% for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The increase in
operating expenses as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to increased
facility commissions and bad debt expense under contracts obtained by the
Company through acquisitions.

     Telecommunication costs increased by $17.5 million, from $6.2 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $23.7 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1998. Telecommunication costs represented 41.3% of operating revenues
for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 43.6% of operating revenues for the
three months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of 2.3%. The percentage increase
is primarily due to higher bad debt expense associated with the contracts
obtained by the Company through acquisitions.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
 
     Facility commissions increased by $13.4 million, from $4.2 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 to $17.6 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1998. Facility commissions represented 27.7% of operating revenues for
the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 32.3% of operating revenues for the
three months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of 4.6%. The increase is primarily
due to higher commission rates for contracts obtained by the Company through 
acquisitions.

     Field operations and maintenance costs increased by $1.1 million, from $0.6
million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $1.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1998. Field operations and maintenance costs represented
3.8% of operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 3.1% of
operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998, a decrease of 0.7%.
The dollar increase is primarily due to costs associated with servicing the
acquired facilities and the new contract installations. The Company is
integrating the field service and maintenance organizations of its acquired
companies and anticipates additional reductions in this cost component as a
percentage of revenue when the integration activities are complete, although
there can be no assurance in this regard.

     Selling, general and administrative costs ("SG&A") increased by $3.0
million, from $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $4.2
million for the three months ended June 30, 1998. SG&A represented 8.2% of
operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 7.8% of
operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998, a decrease of 0.4%.
The dollar increase in SG&A is primarily due to the increased infrastructure
necessary to support the Company's acquisitions and the Company's more
aggressive sales efforts.

     Depreciation and Amortization.  Total depreciation and amortization costs
increased by $5.0 million, from $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30,
1997 to $7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998. Depreciation and
amortization costs represented 18.9% of operating revenues for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 and 14.3% of operating revenues for the three months ended
June 30, 1998, a decrease of 4.6%. The dollar increase is primarily due to
additional amortization expense associated with the acquisitions by the Company
of inmate facility contracts.  Amortization resulting from purchase accounting
of the Company's acquisitions is, and will continue to be, a substantial portion
of the Company's operating expenses and will increase if the Company consummates
additional acquisitions.

     Other (Income) Expense. Other (income) expense, consisting primarily of
interest expense, increased by $3.0 million from $2.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 to $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30,
1998. The increase was primarily due to interest expense associated with the
indebtedness incurred by the Company in connection with the Acquisitions.

     Extraordinary Loss. The Company incurred an extraordinary loss of $4.4
million in 1997 due to the write-off of the unamortized deferred loan costs and
the unamortized discount related to the senior subordinated notes originally
issued by Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce ("CIBC"), which were repaid in
connection with the acquisitions of AmeriTel and Talton Telecommunications with
the net proceeds of the June 1997 offering of $115,000,000 principal amount of
11% Senior Notes due 2007.

     Net Loss. The Company's net loss increased by $0.4 million, from $5.5
million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $5.9 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 as a result of the factors described above.

     EBITDA. Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization ("EBITDA") increased by $4.3 million from $2.9 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 to $7.2 million for the three months ended June
30, 1998. EBITDA as a percentage of operating revenues decreased from 19.2% for
the three months ended June 30, 1997 to 13.2% for the three months ended June
30, 1998 due to the factors described above. Although EBITDA is not a measure of
performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, the Company has included information concerning EBITDA in this Form
10-Q because it is commonly used by certain investors and analysts as a measure
of a company's ability to service its debt obligations and is a component of the
Company's debt compliance ratios. EBITDA should not be used as an alternative
to, or be considered more meaningful than operating income, net income or cash
flows as an indicator of the Company's operating income.


SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998, COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

     Operating Revenues. The Company's operating revenues increased by $73.5
million, or 244.2%, from $30.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to
$103.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The increase in operating
revenues was primarily due to acquisitions by the Company of STC, CCC, Invision,

                                      -12-
<PAGE>
 
PTC, and NAI during 1997, the acquisitions of MOG and ILD in the first quarter
of 1998, and the addition of contracts covering new facilities. The Company
acquired contracts for 905 facilities through acquisitions, winning new bids for
new contracts for county and city facilities, as well as winning bids for new
contracts in the states of North Carolina, North Dakota and Alaska. As of June
30, 1998, the Company served 2,046 correctional facilities in 43 states, of
which 51 were private facilities.

     Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses increased $75.4 million, from
$29.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $104.8 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1998. Operating expenses as a percentage of operating
revenues increased 3.4 % from 97.8% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to
101.2% for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The increase in operating
expenses as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to the factors discussed
below.

     Telecommunication costs increased by $31.4 million, from $12.4 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $43.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1998. Telecommunication costs represented 41.2% of operating revenues
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 42.3% of operating revenues for the
six months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of 1.1%. The percentage increase is
primarily due to higher bad debt expenses associated with the contracts acquired
by the Company. 

     Facility commissions increased by $25.1 million, from $8.2 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 to $33.3 million for the six months ended June
30, 1998. Facility commissions represented 27.1% of operating revenues for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 and 32.2% of operating revenues for the six
months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of 5.1%. The increase is primarily due
to higher commission rates for contracts obtained as a result of acquisitions.

     Field operations and maintenance costs increased by $2.5 million, from $1.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $3.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998. Field operations and maintenance costs represented
3.9% of operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 3.6% of
operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998, a decrease of 0.3%.
The dollar increase is primarily due to costs associated with servicing the
acquired facilities and the new contract installations.  The Company is
integrating the field service and maintenance organizations of its acquired
companies and anticipates a reduction in this cost component as a percentage of
revenue when the integration activities are complete, although there can be no
assurance in this regard.

     SG&A increased by $6.0 million, from $2.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 to $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998. SG&A
represented 7.7% of operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997
and 8.0% of operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998, an
increase of 0.3%. The dollar increase in SG&A is primarily due to the increased
infrastructure necessary to support the Company's acquisitions and the Company's
more aggressive sales effort.

     Depreciation and Amortization.  Total depreciation and amortization costs
increased by $10.2 million, from $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
1997 to $15.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998. Depreciation and
amortization costs represented 17.9% of operating revenues for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and 15.1% of operating revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 1998, a decrease of 2.8%.  The dollar increase is primarily due to
additional amortization expense associated with the acquisitions by the Company
of inmate facility contracts.  Amortization resulting from purchase accounting
of the Company's acquisitions is and will continue to be a substantial portion
of the Company's operating expenses and will increase if the Company consummates
the Acquisitions.

     Other (Income) Expense. Other (income) expense, consisting primarily of
interest expense, increased by $5.7 million from $3.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 to $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The
increase was primarily due to interest expense associated with the indebtedness
incurred by the Company in connection with its acquisitions.

     Extraordinary Loss. The Company incurred an extraordinary loss of $4.4
million in 1997 due to the write-off of the unamortized deferred loan costs and
the unamortized discount related to the senior subordinated notes originally
issued by CIBC, which were repaid in connection with the acquisitions of
AmeriTel and

Talton Telecommunications with the net proceeds of the June 1997 offering of
$115,000,000 principal amount of 11% Senior Notes due 2007.

     Net Loss. The Company's net loss increased by $4.5 million, from $6.8
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $11.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 as a result of the factors described above.

     EBITDA. EBITDA increased by $8.6 million from $6.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 to $14.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
1998. EBITDA as a percentage of operating revenues decreased from 20.1% for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 to 14.1% for the six months ended June 30, 1998
due to the factors described above. Although EBITDA is not a measure of 
performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles, the Company has included information concerning EBITDA in this Form 
10-Q because it is commonly used by certain investors and analysts as a 
measure of a company's ability to service its debt obligation and is a component
of the Company's debt compliance ratios.  EBITDA should not be used as an 
alternative to, or be considered more meaningful than operating income, net 
income or cash flows as an indicator of the Company's operating income.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to $2.1 million provided by operating
activities for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Net cash provided by
operating activities consisted primarily of earnings before depreciation and
amortization offset by working capital associated with the addition of
new inmate facility contracts.

     Cash used in investing activities was $13.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998, as compared to $11.7 million for the six months ended June
30, 1997. Net cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of cash
outflows for the Company's acquisitions of MOG and ILD and additional capital
expenditures for new business activities.

     Cash provided by financing activities was $8.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998, as compared to $43.5 million for the six months ended June
30, 1997. Net cash provided by financing activities consisted primarily of
borrowings under the Company's Senior Credit Facility to fund the MOG and ILD
acquisitions and for additional capital expenditures for new business
activities.

     As of June 30, 1998, the Company had approximately $176.7 million of long-
term indebtedness outstanding, a deficit in stockholders' equity of $21.5
million, and $4.5 million of cash.

     The Company expects that its principal sources of liquidity will be cash
flow from operations and borrowings under the revolving portion of the Senior
Credit Agreement. The Company anticipates that its principal uses of liquidity
will be to provide working capital, finance future acquisitions, and meet debt
service requirements. Management expects that cash flow from operations along
with additional borrowings under existing and future credit facilities will be
sufficient to meet the Company's requirements for the remainder of 1998. The
Company currently anticipates that interest payments of approximately $18.5
million per year through December 31, 2000 will be required under the terms of
the Senior Notes and the Senior Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 1998, the
Company has approximately $17.7 million of unused borrowing capacity under the
Senior Credit Agreement. The Company anticipates that its primary capital
expenditures for the remainder of 1998 will be approximately $6.0 million for
capital items required to implement new contracts entered into by the Company
and $4.8 million for future acquisitions.

     As of June 30, 1998, the Company had approximately $176.7 million of long-
term indebtedness outstanding, including (i) $115.0 million of Senior Notes
outstanding at an interest rate of 11.0%, (ii) $59.5 million of indebtedness
from the Senior Credit Agreement and (iii) $2.2 million of other indebtedness
consisting primarily of acquisition costs and capital leases.

     The Company intends to pursue additional acquisitions to expand its base of
installed inmate telephones and consider acquisition opportunities from time to
time. There can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient available
capital resources to realize its acquisition strategy. Such future acquisitions,
depending on their size and the form of consideration, may require the Company
to seek additional debt or equity financing.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME


     SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," became effective as of the
first quarter of 1998.  This statement requires companies to report and display
comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses).
Comprehensive income includes all changes in equity during a period except those
resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.  For the
Company, comprehensive income is the same as net loss reported in the statements
of consolidated operations, since there were no other items of comprehensive
income for the periods presented.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information," will become effective in 1998.  This statement establishes
standards for defining and reporting business segments.  The Company is
currently determining its reportable segments.  The adoption of SFAS No. 131
will not affect the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND THE YEAR 2000

     The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year.  Any of the Company's
computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using
"00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.  This could result in a system
failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among
other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or
engage in similar normal business activities.

     The Company believes that it has identified all significant applications
that will require modification to ensure Year 2000 Compliance. Internal and
external resources are being used to make the required modifications and test
Year 2000 Compliance. The Company plans on completing the testing process of all
significant applications by February 1, 1999.

     In addition, the Company has communicated with others with whom it does
significant business to determine their Year 2000 Compliance readiness and the
extent to which the Company is vulnerable to any third party Year 2000 issues.
However, there can be no guarantee that the systems of other companies on which
the Company's systems rely will be timely converted, or that a failure to
convert by another company, or a conversion that is incompatible with the
Company's systems, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

     The costs of the project and the date on which the Company believes it will
complete the Year 2000 modifications are based on management's best estimate,
which was derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events, including
the continued availability of certain resources, third party modification plans,
and other factors.  However, there can be no guarantee that these estimates will
be achieved and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.
Specific factors that might cause such material differences include, but are not
limited to, the availability and cost of personnel trained in this area, the
ability to locate and correct all relevant computer codes, and similar
uncertainties.

will be successful in appealing this award.
