ITEM 2:   ACQUISITIONS OR DISPOSITIONS OF ASSETS

               On August 26, 1998, CapRock Communications Corp. (formerly known
          as IWL Holdings Corp.), a Texas corporation ("Holdings"), announced
          that it had completed the mergers and plan of exchange pursuant to the
          Agreement and Plan of Merger and Plan of Exchange dated as of February
          16, 1998, as amended (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Holdings,
          CapRock Telecommunications Corp., a Texas corporation (formerly 
          known as CapRock Communications Corp.) ("Telecommunications"), IWL 
          Communications, Incorporated, a Texas corporation ("IWL"), IWL 
          Acquisition Corp., a Texas corporation ("I-Sub"), CapRock 
          Acquisition Corp., a Texas corporation ("C-Sub"), and CapRock Fiber 
          Network, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership (the "Partnership").  
          Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on August 26, 1998, I-Sub was 
          merged with and into Telecommunications, with each of IWL and 
          Telecommunications being the surviving corporations of such mergers 
          (the "Mergers").  In addition, on such date the interests in the 
          Partnership were exchanged ("Interest Exchange" and, together with 
          the Mergers, the "Transaction") for shares of $.01 par value common 
          stock of Holdings ("Holdings Common Stock").  At the effective time 
          of the Mergers and the Interest Exchange, all previously 
          outstanding shares of IWL common stock ceased to exist, and each 
          such share was converted into and became exchangeable for one share 
          of Holdings Common Stock, and all previously outstanding shares of 
          Telecommunications common stock ceased to exist, and each such 
          share was converted into and became exchangeable for 1.789030878 
          shares of Holdings Common Stock and each one percent (1%) of the 
          Partnership Interests issued and outstanding was exchanged for 
          63,194.54 shares of Holdings Common Stock.  The Mergers and the 
          Interest Exchange will be accounted for as a pooling of interests.
          Reference is made to the joint Press Release of Holdings and IWL, 
          dated August 26, 1998, which is attached hereto as an exhibit and is 
          incorporated herein by reference.

               The aggregate merger consideration for the Transaction consisted
          of (i) approximately 4.5 million shares of Holdings Common Stock
          (including shares of Holdings Common Stock reserved for issuance upon
          the exercise of stock options of IWL assumed by Holdings) to be issued
          to holders of IWL common stock and IWL options and warrants (upon
          exercise thereof), (ii) approximately 19.0 million shares of Holdings
          Common Stock (including shares of Holdings Common Stock reserved for
          issuance upon the exercise of stock options of Telecommunications
          assumed by Holdings) to be issued to holders of Telecommunications
          common stock and Telecommunications options (upon exercise thereof),
          and (iii) approximately 6.3 million shares of Holdings Common Stock
          to be issued to the holders of Partnership Interests.

               Upon completion of the Mergers and the Interest Exchange, the 
          former executive officers and directors of Telecommunications will
          beneficially own more than fifty percent (50%) of the issued and  
          outstanding shares of Holdings Common Stock.

</TABLE>


     The number of shares of Holdings Common Stock were determined at the
     effective time of the Transaction, based on the number of shares of IWL and
     Telecommunications common stock outstanding and the number of Partnership
     Interests that were validly tendered to and accepted by Holdings.  The
     adjustments to the balance sheet as of June 30, 1998 result in the
     recapitalization of Holdings. 

(b)  The net adjustments to tax expense for the Partnership for the Six Months
     Ended June 30, 1997 and the Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 included in
     the pro forma adjustments were estimated at 38%.  These adjustments were
     made to reflect the tax expense and the deferred tax assets and liabilities
     that would have been recorded if the Partnership had been taxed as a C
     Corporation for those periods.  Effective January 1, 1998, the Partnership
     elected to be taxed as a corporation. 

(c)  The costs of the transaction have been estimated as approximately $2.4
     million, consisting of fees for investment bankers, attorneys, accountants,
     financial printing and other related charges. Approximately $653,000 of 
     the estimated transaction costs have been accrued as of June 30, 1998.  The
     remaining transaction costs estimated as $1.8 million have been included as
     an adjustment to the pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as if the
     Transaction occurred on June 30, 1998 and the pro forma combined condensed
     statement of operations for all periods presented exclude the effects of
     these costs.  Such costs will be expensed in August 1998 at the
     consummation of the transaction. 

(d)  To remove the effect of intercompany transactions. The intercompany
     transactions consist of the following:

           (i) Due to affiliates - $1,250,000 as of June 30, 1998.
          (ii) Eliminate intercompany revenue and related cost of sales totaling
               approximately $17,000 for the Three Months Ended June 30, 1998.
         (iii) Eliminate intercompany fee from Telecommunications for
               administrative and management services for the Partnership.  Such
               fees total approximately $176,000 for the Three Months Ended June
               30, 1998 and were immaterial for previous periods.
