                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                    FOR THE

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Pinnacle Holdings, Inc.

     In our opinion, the accompanying statement of financial position and the
related statements of operations and retained earnings and of cash flows present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Beverly Hills
Center, LLC (the "Company") at December 31, 1999, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit. We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for the opinion expressed above.

     As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, in June 2000, the
Company entered into an agreement to sell its building and certain other assets
and operations to Pinnacle Towers Inc. for $135,000,000.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  Nature of Business

     On November 21, 1995, Beverly Hills Center, a Limited Liability
Corporation, (the "Company") acquired the Univision Tower from the Equitable
Life Insurance Company for the purpose of leasing the building as office space.
Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company's management began to shift its
marketing efforts toward the telecommunications industry. The Company now
utilizes the office space as a switching center for data and telephone
communications that is transferred via fiber optic networks. As of December 31,
1999, 85% of the building's tenants were operating in the telecommunications
industry.

     In June 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its buildings
and certain other assets and operations to Pinnacle Towers Inc. In accordance
with the purchase agreement, the Company will receive approximately $135,000,000
for these assets.

     The March 31, 2000 and 1999 financial statements are unaudited, but in the
opinion of management include all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and use assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure for contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may vary from estimates
used.

  Cash and Cash Equivalents

     The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

  Restricted Cash

     On December 31, 1999, the Company had restricted deposits of $214,000.
Restricted cash is comprised of funds held in escrow as part of the Company's
debt agreement.

  Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment consists of the building, building improvements made
by the Company, tenant improvements, land, and furniture and office equipment,
which are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets or the tenant lease agreements, which
range from 5 to 40 years. Betterments, renewals and extraordinary repairs which
increase the value or extend the lives of assets are capitalized. Repairs and
maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

  Debt Financing Costs

     Debt financing costs represent direct costs incurred to obtain long-term
financing. These costs are capitalized and then amortized to interest expense
over the term of the underlying debt utilizing the effective interest method.

  Impairment of Long-lived Assets

     The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets whenever
adverse events or changes in business climate indicate that the expected
undiscounted future cash flows from the related asset may be less than
previously

anticipated. If the net book value of the related asset exceeds the undiscounted
future cash flows of the asset, the carrying amount would be reduced to the
present value of its expected future cash flows and an impairment loss would be
recognized. As of December 31, 1999, management does not believe that an
impairment reserve is required.

  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments at December 31,
1999, which include cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts
payable, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these
instruments. The carrying amount of debt approximates fair value based on the
most recent modification of debt terms as discussed in Note 5.

  Revenue Recognition

     Revenue is recognized ratably over the tenant lease period. Tenant rent is
typically due at the beginning of each month for which it applies. Deferred
revenue is recorded when a tenant payment is received in advance of its due
date.

  Income Taxes

     The Company operates as a Limited Liability Corporation, and in accordance
with Internal Revenue Code statutes, has elected to be taxed as a partnership.
As such, net income is taxed directly to the owners.

8. MEMBERS' EQUITY

  Investor and Service Units

     The Company's partnership agreement provides for two classes of common
units: service units and investor units. Service units are granted to those
members who perform various management functions within the Company. The amount
of these units is determined by the proportionate share of service to the
Company. Investor units were granted to two entities, Algrin and Atlantic Pearl
Investments, which initially funded the start-up of the Company. These units are
determined by the Companies' proportionate share of the initial investment.

 Distributions

     Investor units are the first members to receive distributions until their
initial capital is returned. Service units share proportionately in income with
the investor units after the return of capital is distributed. Prior to 1999,
the investor units had received distributions that met their return of initial
capital.

  Advance to Owners

     In December 1999 the Company refinanced its mortgage in order to raise
additional capital (see Note 5). Of the additional $19,672,392 in capital
financing, $10,167,400 was advanced to the members in December 1999.
Additionally, during 2000, $10,167,994 was advanced to members.

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     At December 31, 1999, the Company had approximately $1,519,677 outstanding
in loans to related parties. These loans accrue interest at a rate of 8.0%
annually. The accrued interest amount has been reflected in the financial
statements.

     The Company also pays certain fees to MTA, Inc. and Atlantic Pearl
Investments as directed through formal management agreements.
