Item 5. OTHER EVENTS.
In its Form 8-K Current Report, filed December 9, 1997, Dakota
Telecommunications Group, Inc. ("Dakota") reported that effective December 1,
1997, Dakota acquired Futuristic, Inc., a South Dakota corporation doing
business as DataNet, Inc. ("DataNet") by merging its wholly owned subsidiary
with and into DataNet. In connection with the transaction, the former
stockholders of DataNet collectively received 160,000 shares of common stock
of Dakota Telecommunications Group, Inc. This Acquisition was disclosed in
Item 5 of the Form 8-K Current Report because the amount paid by Dakota in
the acquisition exceeded 10 percent of the total assets of Dakota and its
subsidiaries and such acquisition was therefore considered to be
"significant" under the applicable instructions of Form 8-K.
Item 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION, AND
EXHIBITS.
(a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired.
The acquisition of DataNet by Dakota does not exceed the 20 percent
threshold for any of the tests set forth in Item 310(c)(2) of Regulation S-B.
Therefore, as permitted under Form 8-K for small business issuers, no
financial statements or proforma financial information regarding DataNet is
filed as part of the Form 8-K Current Report.
(c) Exhibits. The Merger Agreement dated as of October 10, 1997, including
the Articles of Merger and Plan of Merger, was filed as an exhibit to the
Form 8-K Current Report filed December 9, 1997.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
