                        Notes to the Financial Statements


Note 1:  Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies

  A summary of the significant accounting and reporting policies of Summit
    Communications, LLC (the Company), which materially affect the determination
    of financial position and results of operations is presented below.

  Organization


  The Company is incorporated under the laws of the state of Mississippi. The
    Company constructs communication towers for use by the radio, television,
    telephone and other industries in the continental United States. The main
    business operations are located in Ridgeland, Mississippi.

  Accounting Estimates


  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
    accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
    that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
    contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
    and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
    period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  Revenue and Cost Recognition


  Revenues from fixed-priced and modified fixed-price construction contracts are
    recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the
    percentage of costs incurred to date to total estimated costs to complete
    each contract.

  Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those direct
    costs related to contract performance, such as supplies, tools and repairs.
    Indirect costs, such as labor, supplies, general repairs and depreciation
    are not allocated to contract costs. Selling, general, and administrative
    costs, including indirect costs on contracts, are charged to expense as
    incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made
    in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job
    performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in
    revisions to costs and income which are recognized in the period in which
    the revisions are determined. Changes in estimated job profitability
    resulting from job performance, job conditions, contract penalty provisions,
    claims, change orders and settlements are accounted for as changes in
    estimates in the current period.

  The asset, "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted
    contracts," represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The
    liability, "Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on
    uncompleted contracts," represents billings in excess of revenues
    recognized.

                                                                    (Continued)

                        Notes to the Financial Statements


Note 1:  (Continued)


  Property and Equipment


  The cost of property and equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful
    lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed using the
    straight-line and accelerated methods adopted by the Internal Revenue
    Service for financial purposes. The difference between tax depreciation
    methods and generally accepted accounting depreciation methods is not
    considered material.

  Intangible Assets


  The Company recorded an intangible asset related to its acquisition of Summit
    Communications, Inc. This intangible asset is being amortized over a fifteen
    year period using the straight-line method.

  Income Taxes


  The Company is not a tax paying entity for Federal income tax purposes, and
    thus no Federal income tax expense has been recorded in these statements.
    The Company was formed as a limited liability company (LLC) and has made an
    election for Federal tax purposes, and tax purposes in certain states in
    which it operates, to be taxed as a subchapter S corporation. Income of the
    Company is taxed to the members in their respective returns for Federal
    purposes and state purposes in states where the subchapter S corporation
    election is available. State income taxes will be recorded in the financial
    statements for states in which the Company operates that do not allow
    subchapter S elections.

(b) Pro forma financial information.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet at August 31, 1998
combines the historical financial information as if the acquisition of Summit
had occurred on August 31, 1998. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
statement of income for the year ended February 28, 1998 and the six months
ended August 31, 1998 combine historical statements of operations for the
Company and Summit as if the acquisition had occurred on March 1, 1997.

     The unaudited proforma condensed combined balance sheet at August 31, 1998
combines historical financial information of the Company and Summit at August
31, 1998 as if the acquisition had occurred on August 31, 1998. The unaudited
pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the six months ended August
31, 1998 combines historical financial information of the Company for the six
months ended August 31, 1998 and Summit for the six months ended June 30, 1998
as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the year
ended February 28, 1998 combines historical financial information of the Company
for the year ended February 28, 1998 and Summit for the period from May 24, 1997
(inception) through December 31, 1997 as if the acquisition had occurred at the
beginning of the periods presented. As the most recent fiscal year end of Summit
differs from the Company's fiscal year end by less than 93 days, no adjustments
were made to Summit's statement of income for the purpose of the pro forma
presentation.

     The business of these entities is subject to seasonal fluctuations and,
therefore, the results of operations for periods less than twelve months may not
be indicative of annual results. The pro forma financial statements are not
necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations which
would actually have been reported had the transaction been consummated on March
1, 1997 or which may be reported in the future. Actual results for the six
months ended August 31, 1998 have been reported on the Company's Form 10QSB/A
filed on June 15, 1999.
