Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "Notes") and received proceeds of $193,694,000

unconditionally guaranteed by CCPR.  Services and CCPR used approximately
$116,000,000 of the proceeds to repay the $115,000,000 principal outstanding

In connection with the repayment of the bank loan, Services recorded an

case together with accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.  The
Indenture contains certain covenants with respect to Services, CCPR and certain
subsidiaries of CCPR that limit their ability to, among other things, (i) incur
additional indebteness, (ii) pay dividends or make other distributions or
restricted payments, (iii) create liens, (iv) sell assets, (v) enter into
mergers or consolidations or (vi) sell or issue stock of subsidiaries.

management expects no material adverse effect on Services' financial condition
to result from these matters.

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


CCPR Services, Inc. ("Services") operates and manages Cellular Communications of
Puerto Rico, Inc.'s  ("CCPR") (a wholly owned subsidiary of CoreComm
Incorporated) Puerto Rico cellular system on behalf of each of CCPR's operating
subsidiaries.  Services charges an administrative fee based on revenues
generated in the Puerto Rico cellular system and a capital usage fee which is
the recovery of Sevices' capital costs.  The following information does not
purport to be indicative of results that may occur in the future.

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996

Administrative and capital usage fees charged to affiliates increased to
$10,513,000 from $7,118,000 primarily because of increases in capital costs in
CCPR's Puerto Rico cellular system.

Depreciation and amortization increased to $5,339,000 from $3,332,000 primarily
because of an increase in property, plant and equipment.

Interest expense increased to $5,199,000 from $2,150,000 as a result of the
increase in long-term debt at a higher effective interest rate.

Equity in net income (loss) of San Juan Cellular Telephone Company decreased to
$(558,000) from $134,000.  The change is due to the decrease in San Juan
Cellular Telephone Company's results of operations to a net loss of $(2,055,000)
from net income of $2,185,000 primarily as a result of the increase in capital
usage fees.

The provision for income taxes, net of income tax benefit of $387,000 from the
loss from the early extinguishment of debt, changed to a benefit of $164,000
from a provision of $178,000 as a result of the federal income tax benefit of
the tax sharing agreement with CCPR beginning in 1997.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996

Administrative and capital usage fees charged to affiliates increased to
$29,157,000 from $19,269,000 primarily because of increases in capital costs in
CCPR's Puerto Rico cellular system.

Depreciation and amortization increased to $14,215,000 from $9,451,000 primarily
because of an increase in property, plant and equipment.

                              CCPR Services, Inc.


Interest expense increased to $14,257,000 from $5,560,000 as a result of the
increase in long-term debt at a higher effective interest rate during the first
quarter of 1997.

Equity in net income (loss) of San Juan Cellular Telephone Company decreased to
$(349,000) from $246,000.  The change is due to the decrease in San Juan
Cellular Telephone Company's results of operations to a net loss of $(1,287,000)
from net income of $4,002,000 primarily as a result of the increase in capital
usage fees.

The provision for income taxes, net of income tax benefit of $1,129,000 from the
loss from the early extinguishment of debt, changed to a benefit of $573,000
from a provision of $399,000 as a result of the federal income tax benefit of
the tax sharing agreement with CCPR beginning in 1997.

In connection with the repayment of the bank loan, Services recorded an
extraordinary loss of $4,068,000 ($2,939,000 net of income tax benefit) from the
write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs.


                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Services requires capital to expand CCPR's Puerto Rico cellular system and for
debt service.  Services is currently adding cell sites and increasing capacity
throughout Puerto Rico on behalf of CCPR's operating subsidiaries.  Services
expects to use approximately $5,200,000 in the fourth quarter of 1997 and
$26,500,000 in 1998 for contemplated additions to the Puerto Rico cellular
system and for other non-cell site related capital expenditures. Services'
commitments at September 30, 1997 of $4,100,000 for cellular network and other
equipment and for construction services are included in the total anticipated
expenditures. Services expects to be able to meet these requirements with cash
from operations and cash from CCPR.  CCPR's sources of capital are cash from 
operations of its subsidiaries and borrowings from CoreComm (subject to the
limitation contained in the Indenture to the Notes).

In January 1997, Services issued $200,000,000 principal amount 10% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "Notes") and received proceeds of $193,694,000
after discounts, commissions and other related costs.  The Notes are
unconditionally guaranteed by CCPR.  Services used approximately $116,000,000 of
the proceeds to repay the $115,000,000 principal outstanding plus accrued
interest and fees under the bank loan.  In addition, Services made a cash
payment to CCPR of $80,000,000 in exchange for a 21% interest in the San Juan
Cellular Telephone Company.

The Notes are due on February 1, 2007.  Interest on the Notes is payable
semiannually commencing August 1, 1997.  The Notes are redeemable, in whole or
in part, at the option of Services at any time on or after February 1, 2002, at
a redemption price of 105% that declines annually to 100% in 2005, in each case
together with accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.  The Indenture
contains certain covenants with respect to Services, CCPR and

certain subsidiaries of CCPR that limit their ability to, among other things,
(i) incur additional indebtedness, (ii) pay dividends or make other
distributions or restricted payments, (iii) create liens, (iv) sell assets, (v)
enter into mergers or consolidations or (vi) sell or issue stock of
subsidiaries.

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $9,960,000 and $(27,884,000)
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  In August
1996, Services borrowed $37,000,000 under its bank loan which it advanced to an
affiliate for the affiliate's deposit with the FCC in order to participate in a
PCS license auction.  The affiliate withdrew from the auction prior to its
conclusion and the FCC returned the deposit in November 1996.  The affiliate
then returned the advance to Services.  Purchases of property, plant and
equipment of $30,450,000 in 1997 were primarily for additional cell sites and
increased capacity in the Puerto Rico cellular and paging systems.

The allowance for doubtful accounts was $2,487,000 as of September 30, 1997 and
$3,472,000 as of December 31, 1996.  Write-offs net of recoveries as a
percentage of service revenues of affiliates was 6.8% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 compared to 6.0% for the year ended December 31, 1996.  This
percentage increased because Services has attracted and continues to attract new
segments of the market.  Services continued to attempt to reduce this percentage
by improving credit procedures and instituting innovative forms of payment such
as prepaid billing.
