Item 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits

On July 5, 1998, Davel Communications Group, Inc., an Illinois corporation ("Old
Davel"), and Old Davel's then wholly owned subsidiary, Davel Holdings, Inc., a
Delaware corporation formed for the purpose of completing a business combination
("New Davel"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the
"Merger Agreement") with Peoples Telephone Company, Inc., a NewYork corporation
("Peoples").  The Merger Agreement was subsequently amended and restated on
October 22, 1998 primarily for the purpose of allowing Old Davel and New Davel
to enter into a reincorporation merger.  The merger transactions contemplated by
the Merger Agreement (the "Transactions") were completed on December 23, 1998.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, New Davel and its wholly owned subsidiary,
Davel Financing Company, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Davel
Finance Company"), acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of the
common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Peoples (the "Peoples Common Stock")
through the issuance of 0.235 shares of the common stock, par value $.01 per
share, of New Davel (the "New Davel Common Stock") in exchange for each
outstanding share of Peoples Common Stock and the assumption of Peoples'
outstanding public debt of $100 million, which was simultaneously retired
through a cash tender offer for 100% of the outstanding debt.

Also pursuant to the Merger Agreement, New Davel and Davel Finance Company
acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock, no par
value, of Old Davel (the "Old Davel Common Stock") through the issuance of one
share of New Davel Common Stock in exchange for each outstanding share of Old
Davel Common Stock.  In order to finance the Transactions, New Davel, Davel
Finance Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement
dated as of December 23, 1998, with NationsBank, N.A., as Administrative Agent,
BancBoston Robertson Stephens Inc., as Syndication Agent, The Chase Manhattan
Bank, as Documentation Agent, and NationsBanc Montgomery Securities LLC, as lead
arranger, and other lenders (collectively, the "Lenders"), pursuant to which the
Lenders made available to New Davel an initial revolving loan commitment of $60
million and aggregate term loan commitments of $220 million.

In connection with the completion of the Transactions, New Davel changed its
name to "Davel Communications, Inc."

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Peoples Telephone Company, Inc.

     We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Peoples Telephone
Company, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity/(deficit) and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. 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 audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards 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. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Peoples Telephone Company, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

     As discussed in Note 1, the Company previously presented replacement parts
as inventory and has restated the 1997, 1996 and 1995 consolidated financial
statements to include replacement parts as a component of property and
equipment.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1--General

 Description of business

  Peoples Telephone Company, Inc. (the "Company") owns, operates, services and
maintains public pay telephone systems connected to the network of regulated
telephone companies at various third party property owner locations throughout
the United States. The Company also derives commission revenue from routing
calls to operator service companies and from FCC-mandated payments by
interexchange carriers for access code ("10xxx") and subscriber access toll-free
calls ("Dial-Around Compensation").

 Principles of consolidation

  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated.

  The divestitures of the Company's cellular and inmate telephone operations
have been classified as discontinued operations. Accordingly, operating results
and cash flows for these businesses have been segregated and reported as
discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements
(see Note 17).

 Restatement

  The Company maintains replacement parts to service its base of payphones. The
Company previously reported replacement parts as inventory in its consolidated
balance sheets. On November 6, 1998, replacement parts were reclassified to
property and equipment for all periods presented.

 Changes in business

  During 1995, the Company sold its prepaid calling card business and
international telephone center operations for $6.3 million and $2.0 million,
respectively (see Note 16). Operations for these business for the year ended
December 31, 1995 were not significant.

  On November 13, 1995, the Company sold its cellular telephone operations for
approximately $6.0 million (see Note 17).

  On October 9, 1995, the Company sold a portion of its inmate telephone
operations for approximately $1.7 million. Included in discontinued operations
in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations in 1995 are
approximately $0.3 million of impairment losses and a $0.4 million loss on the
sale of these inmate telephone operations (see Note 17).

  On December 19, 1997, the Company sold its remaining inmate telephone
operations for approximately $10.6 million. The Company recognized a net gain of
approximately $4.2 million as a result of this sale (see Note 17).

Note 2--Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 Recognition of revenue

  Revenue is recognized when earned. Coin call and non-coin call revenues are
recognized at the time the call is made. Revenue from service contracts is
recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.

 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 at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 Cash and cash equivalents

  The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to be those highly liquid
investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. The
credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents in banks is considered low
due to the credit quality of the financial institutions.

 Restricted cash

  Approximately $0.9 million of cash on the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet at December 31, 1997 is restricted and serves as collateral for the
Company's performance under an inmate payphone agreement and a letter of credit.

 Property and equipment

  Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets
commencing when the equipment is installed or placed in service. Installed
telephones and related equipment includes installation and other costs which are
capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful lives of the equipment. The
costs associated with maintenance, repair and refurbishment of telephone
equipment are charged to expense as incurred.

  The capitalized cost of equipment and vehicles under capital leases is
amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the asset's estimated useful
life, and is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the
consolidated statements of operations.

 Location Contracts and Other Intangible Assets

  Location contracts and other intangible assets primarily result from business
combinations and signing bonuses paid to property owners and include acquisition
costs allocated to location owner contracts, agreements not to compete, and
other identifiable intangible assets. These assets are amortized on a straight-
line basis over their
<PAGE>
 
                        PEOPLES TELEPHONE COMPANY, INC.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

estimated lives (3 to 10 years). Accumulated amortization at December 31, 1997
and 1996 was approximately $26.3 million and $20.0 million, respectively.

  Goodwill arising from acquisitions is amortized on a straight-line basis over
the periods to be benefited or 20 years, whichever is less. Accumulated
amortization at December 31, 1997 and 1996 was approximately $3.0 million and
$2.3 million, respectively.

  The carrying value of intangible assets is periodically reviewed by the
Company and impairments, if any, are recognized when the expected future
undiscounted cash flows derived from such intangible assets are less than their
carrying value.

  The Company accounts for long-lived assets pursuant to SFAS No. 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed of, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived
assets used in operations when events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Management reviews long-
lived assets and the related intangible assets for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate the assets may be impaired. The Company, based
on current circumstances, does not believe that any long-lived assets are
impaired at December 31, 1997.

 Other assets

  Other assets primarily include deferred financing costs and long-term
deposits. Deferred financing costs are amortized over the term of the debt on a
straight-line basis. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, accumulated amortization of
the deferred financing costs was approximately $1.8 million and $1.2 million,
respectively.

  The Company's investment in Global Telecommunications Solutions, Inc.
("GTS") is accounted for in accordance with Statement No. 115, Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and is reported at fair value
with unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, recorded as a separate component of
Shareholders' Equity (Deficit) (see Note 16). The Company's investment in GTS is
included in "other assets, net" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

 Other operating (income) expense

  Other operating (income) expense is comprised of amounts recorded in
connection with settlements of loans and employment contracts with former
officers, the Company's former equity interest in the operating results of an
unconsolidated affiliate and amounts related to the resolution of outstanding
litigation.

 Income taxes

  Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax
and financial reporting bases of the Company's assets and liabilities using
enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected
to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in
the opinion of management, it is more likely than not the tax assets will not be
realized.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

Stock Options

  The Company adopted the provisions of Statement No. 123 ("SFAS 123"),
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, on January 1, 1996, but as permitted by
SFAS 123 will continue to account for options issued to employees or directors
under the Company's stock option plans in accordance with Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The
exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals or exceeds the
market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant; therefore, no
compensation expense is recognized under APB 25.

 Earnings per share

  In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), Earnings per Share. SFAS 128 replaced the calculation of
primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per
share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any
dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Diluted
earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted
earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for all periods have been
presented, and where appropriate, restated to conform to the SFAS 128
requirements. Diluted earnings per share amounts are computed based upon the
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding.
Earnings per share on a diluted basis were equal to basic earnings per share for
all periods presented, since exercise of outstanding options and warrants, and
the conversion of convertible preferred stock would be anti-dilutive.

 Reclassification

  Certain amounts for the prior years have been reclassified to conform with the
current year presentation.

 New Accounting Standards

  In 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 130 ("SFAS 130"), "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" and Statement No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." These statements are
effective beginning in 1998. SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and
displaying comprehensive income, while SFAS 131 abandons the "industry segment
approach" in favor of the "managing approach" for disclosure purposes.
Adoption of SFAS 130 is not expected to result in a significant change from the
current required disclosures and the adoption of SFAS 131 is not expected to
result in additional disclosures.

Note 3--Accounts Receivable

  Accounts receivable at December 31, 1997 and 1996 consist primarily of amounts
currently due from long distance carriers for Dial-Around Compensation (as
defined in Note 19) and commissions from various operator service companies
which handle non-coin calls.

  The balance due from one collection clearinghouse for Dial-Around Compensation
was approximately $4.1 million and $2.7 million at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The balance due from one operator service company for commissions
was $4.3 million and $3.5 million at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

  During July 1995, the Company completed the sale of $100.0 million of Senior
Notes due 2002 (the "Senior Notes") and the issuance of $15.0 million of Series
C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") (see Note 7).
The Senior Notes bear interest at 12 1/4% per annum, payable semiannually
beginning January 15, 1996. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of
the Company and are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in
part, on or after July 15, 2000, at pre-established redemption prices together
with accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. The Company paid
approximately $5.1 million in issuance costs, which was deferred and is being
amortized over the term of the Senior Notes.

  Simultaneously with the sale of the Senior Notes and issuance of the Preferred
Stock, the Company executed the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan and Security
Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Creditanstalt Corporate Finance, Inc. (the
"Bank"). The Loan Agreement provided for a new $40.0 million credit facility
bearing interest at rates ranging from the Bank's prime rate plus 1 1/2% to
LIBOR plus 3%. During April 1996, the Company amended the Fourth Amended Loan
and Security Agreement (the "Amendment") with the Bank. The Amendment, among
other things, decreased the facility to $10.0 million and reduced the
requirements of the financial covenants. During March 1997, the Company executed
an amendment increasing the credit facility to $20.0 million.
<PAGE>
 
                        PEOPLES TELEPHONE COMPANY, INC.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

  The interest rate on balances outstanding under the $20.0 million credit
facility varies based upon the leverage ratio maintained by the Company. All
outstanding principal balances are due in full in 2000, and interest is payable
monthly for loans based on the prime rate and quarterly for loans based on the
LIBOR rate. A commitment fee of 1/2 of 1% is charged on the aggregate daily
unused balance of the credit facility under the Loan Agreement. The Loan
Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets and contains
certain restrictive covenants which, among other things, require the Company to
maintain certain cash flow levels and interest coverage ratios and places
certain restrictions on the payment of dividends. At December 31, 1997, there
were no amounts outstanding under the credit facility.

  As a result of various 1995 amendments to its credit facilities, the Company
recorded extraordinary losses of $5.0 million for the write-off of deferred
financing costs associated with the early extinguishment of debt, before an
income tax benefit of approximately $1.7 million.

Note 7--Preferred Stock

  In March 1997, the Company's shareholders approved an increase of the
Company's authorized Preferred Stock to 5 million shares.

  During 1995, the Company issued 150,000 shares of Series C Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock to UBS Capital II LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Union Bank of Switzerland, for proceeds of $15.0 million. The Preferred Stock
cumulates dividends at an annual rate of 7%. The dividends are payable in cash
or, at the Company's option during the first three years, will cumulate. The
Preferred Stock is immediately convertible into shares of Common Stock of the
Company at an initial conversion price of $5.25 per share and is mandatorily
redeemable by the Company in July 2005. The liquidation value and annual
dividends are $100 per share and $7 per share, respectively. Pursuant to the
terms of the Preferred Stock, the holders are entitled to elect two of the six
members of the Company's Board of Directors and have voting rights equal to
those of Common Shareholders. The Company paid issuance costs of approximately
$1.2 million.

  In connection with the sale of the Preferred Stock, the Company issued
warrants to purchase 275,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company to a third
party which assisted with the transaction, for approximately $100,000. The
warrants are exercisable at $5.25 per share through the year 2005.

  The net proceeds were allocated to the preferred stock and warrants based on
their respective fair values. The preferred stock is being accreted to its
redemption value, using the effective interest method through retained earnings,
or in the case of an accumulated deficit, capital in excess of par value over
the term of the Preferred Stock.

Note 8--Shareholders' Equity

  In March 1997, the Company's shareholders approved an increase to the number
of authorized shares of the Company's Common Stock to 75 million shares. The
Company has a sufficient number of authorized common shares available to issue
upon the conversion of the outstanding preferred stock, warrants and stock
options.

  Under the terms of the Company's loan agreement, as amended, the Company
granted its lender warrants to purchase 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock. The
exercise price of 900,000 of these shares is $3.17 per share and the remaining
700,000 shares is $5.25 per share. From 1992 through 1994, the Company's lender
exercised its right to purchase 900,000 shares of Common Stock at $3.17 per
share. All warrants expire in the year 2000.

  The Company's preferred stock may be issued from time to time at the
discretion of the Board of Directors without shareholder approval. The Board of
Directors is authorized to issue these shares in different series and, with

Note 9--Stock Option Plans

  The Company maintains five non-qualified stock option plans covering primarily
employees and directors. The Company continues to account for its stock options
issued under APB 25. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the underlying
stock option equals or exceeds the market price of the common stock on the date
of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

  The 1987 Non Qualified Stock Option Plan and 1994 Stock Incentive Plan cover
substantially all employees and provide for the issuance of options to purchase
up to 2,100,000 shares and 100,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock,
respectively. The 1987 and 1993 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plans allow
for the issuance of options for the purchase of 750,000 shares and 315,000
shares, respectively. Options are issued to non-employee members of the
Company's Board of Directors for their service. In addition, prior to February
of 1995, the Company, from time to time, issued options to purchase shares of
the Company's Common Stock outside of the established stock option plans. The
grants of these options have been approved by the Company's shareholders. The
1997 Incentive Plan allows for the issuance of options for the purchase of
1,350,000 shares.

  Options to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock are issuable at the
discretion of committees appointed by the Board of Directors which determine the
specific terms of options granted. Currently, options generally vest at rates of
10%, 20%, 33% and 100% per year from the date of issuance and generally expire
after 5 to 10 years of continued employment or within periods of up to 90 days
of the termination or resignation of the employee or director.

  The exercise prices for options outstanding as of December 31, 1997 ranged
from $2.00 to $11.38. The weighted average remaining contractual life of those
options is approximately 2.7 years.


  The fair value of options granted during 1997, 1996 and 1995 were estimated
using a binomial valuation model. The following weighted-average assumptions
were used in calculating the fair value of options granted in 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively: risk free interest rates of 5.6%, 6.3% and 6.1%; dividend
yields of 0%; volatility factors of 0.669, 0.706 and 0.846; and weighted average
expected life of the options of 2.7, 4.0 and 3.3 years.

  Pro forma net loss and loss per share information is provided in accordance
with SFAS 123 as if the Company's stock options were accounted for under the
fair value method.

  For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options
is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The following table
sets forth pro forma net loss and loss per share (in thousands, except for per

Note 10--Employee Savings Plan

  During November 1990, the Company established a savings plan under the
provisions of section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Plan"), which
covers substantially all employees. The Company's contributions to the Plan are
discretionary. Employees participating in the Plan vest in amounts contributed
by the Company over a period of 5 years. The Company matches 25% of employee
contributions. Employees may contribute up to 15% of their earnings each plan
year. The Company's contributions totaled approximately $0.1 million in each of
the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995.

</TABLE>

  At December 31, 1997, the Company has tax net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $80.8 million, which expire in various amounts in the years 2002
to 2012. Approximately $3.2 million of these net operating loss carryforwards
relate to business acquisitions for which annual utilization will be limited to
approximately $0.3 million, with further limitation if future ownership changes
occur. In addition, these loss carryforwards can only be utilized against future
taxable income, if any, generated by these acquired companies as if these
companies continued to file separate income tax returns. During 1997, the
Company generated a capital loss of approximately $0.7 million, which expires in
the year 2002.

  During 1997, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance against net operating
losses increased to approximately $18.4 million. Realization of deferred tax
assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the periods
that temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be available to
reduce taxable income. Based upon past earnings history, trends, regulatory
changes, expiration dates of net operating loss carryforwards and tax planning
strategies that could be implemented, if necessary, the Company believes it will
be able to realize its $3.4 million in net deferred tax assets. In addition, the
Company has recorded a valuation allowance to reflect the estimated amount of
deferred tax assets which may not be realized due to the expiration of its
operating loss carryforwards.

  Diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share since the

Note 13--Fair Value of Financial Instruments

  The fair market values of financial instruments held by the Company at
December 31, 1997 and 1996 are based on a variety of factors and assumptions,
may not necessarily be representative of the actual gains or losses that will be
realized in the future, and do not include expenses that could be incurred in an
actual sale or settlement.


 Long-Term Debt

  The fair value of the Company's Senior Notes was estimated by obtaining quoted
market prices. The fair value of the Company's Senior Notes at December 31, 1997
and 1996 was approximately $106.5 million and $105.0 million, respectively.

  The fair value of the Company's credit facility is assumed to be equal to its
carrying value. At December 31, 1997 and 1996 there were no amounts outstanding
under the credit facility.


 Preferred Stock

  The Company's Preferred Stock does not have a quoted market price and the
Company does not believe it is practicable to estimate a fair value different
from the security's carrying value of approximately $13.7 million because of
features unique to this security including, but not limited to, the right to
appoint two directors and super majority voting requirements. The amount due
upon redemption equals $15.0 million plus accrued dividends.

Note 15--Commitments and Contingencies

  In March, 1997, the Company and WorldCom Network Services, Inc. amicably
settled and resolved litigation to the satisfaction of both parties involved. In
connection with that settlement, the Company paid approximately $240,000 to
WorldCom in full settlement and satisfaction of all claims raised, or which
could have been raised, by WorldCom against the Company arising from the
parties' prior business relationship.

  During July 1995, the Company reached an agreement in principle for the
settlement (the "Settlement") of a lawsuit seeking class action certification
brought by two shareholders against the Company and certain of its officers and
directors in the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida,
alleging the violation of certain federal securities laws. The Company's share
of the Settlement of approximately $0.9 million was recorded in the accompanying
consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995. The
Settlement was approved by the United States District Court during January 1996.

  During April 1995, the Company settled a dispute with one of its vendors which
resulted in a reduction of the amounts owed. Accounts payable and telephone
charges were reduced during the first quarter of 1995 by approximately $1.3
million to reflect this settlement.

  In December 1995, Cellular World, Inc. filed a complaint in Dade County
Circuit Court against the Company and its subsidiary, PTC Cellular, Inc.,
alleging wrongful interference with Cellular World's advantageous business
relationship with Alamo Rent-A-Car, and alleged misappropriation of Cellular
World's trade secrets concerning Cellular World's proprietary cellular car phone
rental system equipment. Cellular World is seeking damages alleged to exceed $10
million. Formal discovery has not been completed. Trial has been set for July
1998. Based on the discovery conducted to date, the Company continues to believe
that it has several meritorious legal and factual defenses. Based upon the
incomplete status of discovery, the Company is unable to predict the final
outcome of the litigation.

  In addition to the aforementioned litigation, the Company is a party to
certain legal actions arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion
of management, the ultimate outcome of such litigation will not have a material
effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the
Company.

The Company has employment contracts with certain officers which expire through
December 31, 1999. The contracts provide for increases in annual base salary,
contingent upon the profitability of the Company, as well as bonus and stock
option provisions.


Note 16--Prepaid Calling Card and International Telephone Centers

  During February 1995, the Company sold its prepaid calling card business to
Global Link Teleco Corporation ("Global Link") for approximately $6.3 million of
cash, promissory notes and shares of common stock of Global Link. The operations
of the prepaid calling card business for the year ended December 31, 1995 were
not significant.

  On March 1, 1996, Global Link consummated a merger transaction (the "Merger")
with Global Telecommunications Solutions, Inc. ("GTS"). The Company exchanged
its outstanding notes and other receivables, including accrued interest, for
shares of GTS Common stock, $0.6 million in cash and $1.5 million of notes
receivable.

  Included in other assets in the accompanying 1997 and 1996 consolidated
balance sheets is the fair value of the Company's investment in GTS common stock
of approximately $1.1 million and $1.7 million, net of approximately $2.0
million and $1.5 million of unrealized investment losses, respectively.

  Prior to the Merger, the Company's investment in Global Link was accounted for
using the equity method. The Company's share of the results of operations of
Global Link from the divestiture date through December 31, 1995 are included in
"Other operating (income) expenses" in the accompanying consolidated statements
of operations.

  On September 28, 1995, the Company sold its international telephone center
operations for $0.5 million in cash and a $1.5 million promissory note. The
operations of the international telephone center business for the year ended
December 31, 1995 were not significant. For financial accounting purposes, the
recovery of $2.0 million previously written off will be recognized as the cash
is received. Accordingly, a gain of approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million
has been included in other income and expenses in the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations during the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

Note 17--Discontinued Operations

  On November 13, 1995, the Company sold its cellular telephone operations to
Shared Technologies Cellular, Inc. ("STC") for approximately $6.0 million. The
proceeds from the sale were $0.3 million in cash, a $2.0 million promissory note
bearing interest at 8.0%, with principal and interest payable semi-annually
through 2000, shares of STC Common Stock, and payment of approximately $1.2
million of the Company's liabilities. This transaction resulted in a loss of
$14.6 million. The loss on disposal in the accompanying December 31, 1995
statement of operations includes a valuation allowance of approximately $5.5
million to reduce the deferred tax assets generated by this transaction to a
level which, more likely than not, will be realized.

  For the period from January 1, 1995 through the divestiture date, the cellular
telephone operations had net operating losses of $3.7 million which were
previously accrued for in 1994.

  On October 9, 1995, the Company sold a portion of its inmate telephone
operations for approximately $1.7 million. Included in discontinued operations
in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations in 1995 are
approximately $0.3 million of impairment losses and a $0.4 million loss on the
sale of these inmate telephone operations.

  On December 19, 1997, the Company sold the remaining operating assets of the
Company's inmate phone division to Talton Holdings, Inc. ("Talton") for $10.6
million in cash plus additional contingent consideration. This transaction
resulted in a gain of approximately $4.2 million. The contingent consideration
is payable within 18 months after the closing based upon a formula which
generally provides for the sharing of (a) incremental profits from revenue
increases on certain contracts sold to Talton and (b) profits resulting from
Talton closing on pending bids initiated by the Company which result in new
contracts. For financial accounting purposes, the contingent consideration will
be recognized as received.

  The following tables set forth the results of operations and gain (loss) on
disposal of the cellular and inmate telephone operations as they are included in

Note 18--Related Party Transactions

  During February 1995, the Company sold its prepaid calling card business to
Global Link for approximately $6.3 million. At the time of the transactions, a
former officer and director of the Company and two directors of the Company were
also directors of Global Link. Mr. Jeffrey Hanft, a former officer and director
of the Company, resigned as a director of Global Link in October 1995, and Mr.
Jody Frank, a former director of the Company, resigned as a director of Global
Link prior to the March 1996 transaction with GTS (see Note 16).

     During 1994 and 1995, the Company made loans of approximately $3.6 million
to certain officers and directors for, among other things, the repayment of debt
previously incurred by them in connection with the exercise of stock options and
payment of related income taxes. The officers and directors exercised the stock
options in December 1993 to purchase the Company's Common Stock for purposes of
increasing the Company's shareholders' equity without accessing external capital
markets. The officers and directors executed promissory notes for a portion of
the amounts due which became payable on March 28, 1996. In addition, during 1994
and 1995, under the terms of employment contracts with certain officers, the
Company paid approximately $0.6 million in life insurance policy premiums. Such
premiums are required to be reimbursed by such officers upon termination. During
the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company recorded a reserve for potential
uncollectible loan and insurance amounts of approximately $3.2 million which is
included in "Other operating (income) and expenses" in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations. During 1997, the Company recorded an
additional reserve for potential uncollectible loan amounts of approximately
$0.2 million which is included in "Selling, general and administrative expense"
in the accompanying 1997 statements of operations.

     During December 1995, the Company entered into a settlement agreement in
connection with the termination of an employment contract and settlement of a
claim made by Robert D. Rubin, the Company's former president. As part of the
settlement agreement, approximately $1.4 million of severance costs were
incurred by the Company and have been recorded in "Other operating (income) and
expenses" in the accompanying 1995 consolidated statement of operations. Mr.
Rubin repaid approximately $0.4 million of amounts owed the Company as part of
the settlement agreement.

     In February 1996, the Company restructured approximately $0.2 million of
outstanding loans to Jody Frank, a director of the Company. In connection with
the restructuring, the Company received from Mr. Frank promissory notes with
various due dates through 2007 and a stock pledge agreement encumbering 35,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock held by Mr. Frank.

     During April 1996, the Company terminated Richard F. Militello, the
Company's former Chief Operating Officer, without cause. Pursuant to terms of
his employment agreement, Mr. Militello was due a severance payment of
approximately $0.5 million. The after tax portion of this amount was offset
against certain outstanding loans owed to the Company by Mr. Militello.
Approximately $0.2 million of severance costs incurred by the Company in
connection with Mr. Militello's termination have been recorded in "Selling,
general and administrative expense" in the accompanying 1996 consolidated
statement of operations.

     During October 1996, the Company entered into a separation agreement with
Jeffrey Hanft, the Company's former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. As
part of the separation agreement, the Company received a promissory note for
amounts owed by Mr. Hanft, which becomes due and payable in 2001. In addition,
the Company received from Mr. Hanft a stock pledge agreement encumbering 0.3
million shares of the Company's Common Stock issuable upon exercise of certain
employment agreement options. Approximately $0.3 million of severance costs
incurred by the Company in connection with the separation agreement have been
recorded in "Selling, general and administrative expense" in the accompanying
1996 consolidated statement of operations.

     During July 1997, the Company terminated Bonnie S. Biumi, the Company's
former Chief Financial Officer, without cause. Approximately $0.3 million of
severance costs incurred by the Company in connection with Ms. Biumi's
termination have been recorded in "Selling, general and administrative expense"
in the accompanying 1997 consolidated statement of operations.

Note 19--Provision for Dial-Around Compensation Adjustment

     On September 20, 1996, the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC")
adopted rules in a docket entitled In the Matter of Implementation of the Pay
Telephone Reclassification and Compensation Provisions of the Telecommunications
Act of 1996, FCC 96-388 (the "1996 Payphone Order"), implementing the payphone
provisions of Section 276 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 ("Telecom Act").
The 1996 Payphone Order, which became effective November 7, 1996, initially
mandated dial-around compensation for both access code calls and 800 subscriber
calls ("Dial-Around Compensation") at a flat rate of $45.85 per payphone per
month (131 calls multiplied by $0.35 per call). Commencing October 7, 1997 and
ending October 6, 1998, the $45.85 per payphone per month rate was to transition
to a per-call system at the rate of $0.35 per call. Several parties filed
petitions for judicial review of certain of the FCC regulations including the
Dial-Around Compensation rate. On July 1, 1997, the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia Circuit (the "Court") responded to appeals related to
the 1996 Payphone Order by remanding certain issues to the FCC for
reconsideration. These issues included, among other things, the manner in which
the FCC established the Dial-Around Compensation for 800 subscriber and access
code calls, the manner in which the FCC established the interim Dial-Around
Compensation plan and the basis upon which interexchange carriers ("IXCs") would
be required to compensate payphone service providers ("PSPs"). The Court
remanded the issues to the FCC for further consideration, and clarified on
September 16, 1997 that it had vacated certain portions of the FCC's 1996
Payphone Order, including the Dial-Around Compensation rate. Specifically, the
Court determined that the FCC did not adequately justify (i) the per-call
compensation rate for subscriber 800 and access code calls at the deregulated
local coin rate of $0.35, because it did not sufficiently justify its conclusion
that the costs of local coin calls are similar to those of subscriber 800 and
access code calls; and (ii) the allocation of the payment obligation among the
IXCs for the period from November 7, 1996 through October 6, 1997.

     In accordance with the Court's mandate, on October 9, 1997, the FCC adopted
and released its Second Report and Order in the same docket, FCC 97-371 (the
"Remand Order"). This order addressed the per-call compensation rate for
subscriber 800 and access code calls that originate from payphones in light of
the decision of the Court which vacated and remanded certain portions of the
FCC's 1996 Payphone Order. The FCC concluded that the rate for per-call
compensation for subscriber 800 and access code calls from payphones is the
deregulated local coin rate adjusted for certain cost differences. Accordingly,
the FCC established a rate of $0.284 ($0.35-$0.066) per call for the first two
years of per-call compensation (October 7, 1997 through October 6, 1999). The
IXCs are required to pay this per-call amount to PSPs, including the Company,
beginning October 7, 1997. After the first two years of per-call compensation,
the market-based local coin rate, adjusted for certain costs defined by the FCC
as $0.066 per call, is the surrogate for the per-call rate for subscriber 800
and access code calls. These new regulations were made effective as of October
7, 1997; however, they are still subject to challenge.

     In addition, the Remand Order tentatively concluded that the same $0.284
per call rate adopted on a going-forward basis should also govern compensation
obligations during the period from November 7, 1996 through October 6, 1997, and
that PSPs are entitled to compensation for all access code and subscriber 800
calls during this period. The FCC stated that the manner in which the payment
obligation of the IXCs for the period from November 7, 1996 through October 6,
1997 will be allocated among the IXCs will be addressed in a subsequent order.

     Based on the FCC's tentative conclusion in the Remand Order, the Company
has adjusted the amounts of Dial-Around Compensation previously recorded related
to the period from November 7, 1996 through June 30, 1997 from the initial
$45.85 rate to $37.20 ($0.284 per call multiplied by 131 calls). As a result of
this adjustment, the Company recorded a provision in the third quarter of 1997
for reduced Dial-Around Compensation of approximately $2.1 million ($0.13 per
share). The Company previously reported this provision as a separate component
of costs and expenses. In the third quarter of 1998, the Company reclassified
the provision as a

                        PEOPLES TELEPHONE COMPANY, INC.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
                                        
reduction in non-coin revenue of approximately $2.6 million and a reduction in
commissions expense of approximately $0.5 million. For the period from July 1,
1997 through October 6, 1997, the Company has recorded Dial-Around Compensation
at the rate of $37.20 per payphone per month. The amount of dial-around revenue
recognized in the period from July 1, 1997 through October 6, 1997 is
approximately $4.7 million and such amount will be billed after final resolution
of the allocation obligations of the IXCs as determined by the FCC.

     The Company's counsel, Latham & Watkins, is of the opinion that the Company
is legally entitled to fair compensation under the Telecom Act for Dial-Around
Calls the Company delivered to any carrier during the period from November 7,
1996 through October 6, 1997. Based on the information available, the Company
believes that the minimum amount it is entitled to as fair compensation under
the Telecom Act for the period from November 7, 1996 through October 6, 1997 is
$37.20 per payphone per month and the Company, based on the information
available to it, does not believe that it is reasonably possible that the amount
will be materially less than $37.20 per payphone per month. While the amount of
$0.284 per call constitutes the Company's position of the appropriate level of
fair compensation, certain IXCs have asserted in the past, have asserted in
petitions for reconsideration now pending before the FCC and in appeals pending
before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and are
expected to assert in the future that the appropriate level of fair compensation
should be lower than $0.284 per call. For example, in a letter to the FCC dated
August 15, 1997, AT&T stated its intention to make dial-around payments to PSPs
based on its imputed rate of $0.12 per call until the FCC issues a new order
setting the level of fair compensation.

Note 20--Subsequent Events

     On January 12, 1998, the Company acquired the operating assets of Indiana
Telcom Corporation for approximately $11.3 million in cash. This transaction
added approximately 2,600 public pay telephones, located primarily in Indiana
and adjacent midwestern states.

     On July 5, 1998, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement
with Davel Communications Group, Inc. and Davel Holdings, Inc. (collectively
"Davel"). Under the terms of the agreement, which has been approved by the Board
of Directors of each company, holders of common stock of the Company will
receive 0.235 of a share of Davel common stock for each outstanding share of
Company common stock and the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of
Davel (the "Merger"). The transaction, which is intended to close in the fourth
quarter of 1998, is subject to the approval of the shareholders of both
companies, receipt of required regulatory approvals and other customary
conditions. Consummation of the Merger is conditioned on its eligibility for
pooling-of-interests accounting treatment. The transaction is also subject to
conversion of the Company's Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock into
common stock and receipt by Davel of financing for, and successful consummation
of, a cash tender offer for the Company's 12 1/4% Senior Notes due 2002 (the
"Senior Notes"), pursuant to which a minimum of 85% of the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of $100 million shall have been tendered. Davel plans to

NOTE 1--UNAUDITED INTERIM INFORMATION

     The accompanying interim consolidated financial data for Peoples Telephone
Company, Inc. (the "Company") and subsidiaries, are unaudited; however, in the
opinion of management, the interim data include all adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. 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 at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

     The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1998.

     The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
for the year ended December 31, 1997 as set forth in the Company's 1997 Annual
Report on Form 10-K as amended by Form 10-K/A No. 1 ("Form 10-K").

NOTE 2--INVESTMENTS AND OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

     Investments in debt and equity securities are accounted for in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities ("SFAS 115"). The
Company's investment in Global Telecommunications Solutions, Inc. ("GTS") is
classified as "available for sale", and reported at fair value with unrealized
gains or losses, net of tax, recorded as a separate component of shareholders'
deficit. The Company's investment in GTS common stock at September 30, 1998 was
approximately $0.2 million, net of approximately $2.9 million of unrealized
losses.

     As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, Reporting
Comprehensive Income ("SFAS 130"). SFAS 130 establishes new rules for the
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components; however, the
adoption of SFAS 130 had no impact on the Company's net loss or shareholders'
deficit. SFAS 130 requires unrealized gains or losses on the Company's
available-for-sale securities, which, prior to adoption, were reported 
separately in shareholders' deficit, to be included in other comprehensive loss.
Prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the
requirements of SFAS 130.

     The components of the comprehensive loss are as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 3--EARNINGS PER SHARE

  For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, the
treasury stock method was used to determine the dilutive effect of options and
warrants on earnings per share data. The following table summarizes the loss
from continuing operations and the weighted average number of shares outstanding
used in the computation of loss from continuing operations per common share in
accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share (in thousands, except per share

  Diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share since the conversion
of preferred shares and the exercise of outstanding options and warrants would
be anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

NOTE 4--LONG-TERM DEBT

  During June 1998, the Company executed an amendment to the Fourth Amended and
Restated Loan and Security Agreement which modified the Company's financial
covenants in the Company's $20 million credit facility with Bank Austria
Creditanstalt Corporate Finance, Inc., formerly known as "Creditanstalt-
Bankverein" (the "Credit Facility"), as of June 30, 1998. The interest rate on
balances outstanding under the Credit Facility varies based upon the leverage
ratio maintained by the Company. Outstanding principal balances are due in full
in the year 2000. Interest is payable monthly for loans based on the prime rate
and quarterly for loans based on the LIBOR rate. A commitment fee of 1/2 of 1%
is charged on the aggregate daily available balance of the Credit Facility. The
Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets and
contains certain covenants which, among other things, require the Company to
maintain certain cash flow levels and interest coverage ratios and places
certain restrictions on the payment of dividends. At September 30, 1998, the
Company had no amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility and was in compliance
with the financial covenants.

NOTE 5--INCOME TAXES

  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company recorded
deferred tax assets and deferred tax asset valuation allowances of approximately
$1.2 million and $4.0 million, respectively. Valuation allowances were provided
to reduce the deferred tax assets to a level which, more likely than not, will
be realized.

NOTE 6--LOSS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

  In the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company sold the operating assets of its
inmate telephone division. The accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and the 
<PAGE>
 
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 have been restated to present results of the former inmate telephone
division as discontinued operations. For the nine months ended September 30,
1997, the Company reported approximately $2.0 million in losses from
discontinued operations.

NOTE 7--ACQUISITION OF INDIANA TELCOM CORPORATION

     On January 12, 1998, the Company acquired the operating assets of Indiana
Telcom Corporation for approximately $11.3 million in cash. The results of
operations for the Company include the operations of Indiana Telcom from January
12, 1998 forward. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and,
accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired based on
appraisals and other estimates of their underlying fair values. The allocation
of the purchase price is preliminary, pending finalization of appraisals and
other estimates. The fair value of the assets acquired included $5.4 million of
installed payphones and related equipment and $0.3 million in location
contracts. No liabilities were assumed in the transaction. The excess of the
purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired of $5.6 million was
recorded as goodwill and is being amortized over 5 years.

     The following summarizes unaudited pro forma consolidated results of
operations for the nine months ending September 30, 1997 assuming the Indiana
Telcom acquisition occurred at the beginning of 1997. These pro forma results
are provided for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative
of the results that would have been obtained if this acquisition had been
effected on the date indicated or which may be obtained in the future (in
thousands, except per share data).

NOTE 8--DIAL-AROUND COMPENSATION

     Effective November 6, 1996, pursuant to FCC regulations, the Company
derived additional revenues from dial-around calls placed from its public
payphones. Under the 1996 Payphone Order, from November 6, 1996 to June 30,
1997, the Company recorded gross dial-around revenue at the then-mandated rate
of $45.85 per payphone per month, as compared with the flat fee of $6.00 per
payphone per month in place prior to November 6, 1996. Pursuant to the Remand
Order, in the period from July 1 to October 6 of 1997 the Company recorded gross
dial-around compensation revenue at a rate of $37.20 per payphone per month and
recorded a charge of approximately $2.1 million, consisting of a reduction in
non-coin revenue of approximately $2.6 million and a reduction in commissions
expense of approximately $0.5 million, in the third quarter of 1997 for the
retroactive reduction in the dial-around compensation rate from $45.85 to $37.20
per payphone per month, applicable to the November 6, 1996 to June 30, 1997
period.

     From October 7, 1997 to October 6, 1999, the Company is entitled to receive
dial-around compensation at a per-call rate of $0.284 based on the actual number
of dial-around calls placed from each of its payphones (or such other number of
calls as may be ultimately permitted by the FCC or the courts). Thereafter, the
dial-around compensation rate is anticipated to be at a per-call rate equal to
the local coin call rate less $0.066. For the period from October 7, 1997 to
September 30, 1998, the Company recorded dial-around compensation revenue using
an estimated 131 calls per month per payphone. The Company has based its
compensation on an estimated number of calls (i.e., 131) per payphone per month
because actual call counts are not available from the IXCs until four to nine
months after the calls are made. From October 7, 1997 forward, the estimated
amount may be adjusted for actual call counts provided by the IXCs.
<PAGE>
 
     The FCC, in its Order issued April 3, 1998, left in place the requirement
for payment of per-call compensation for payphones that do not transmit the
requisite payphone-specific coding digits, but gave the IXCs a choice for
computing the amount of compensation for payphones on local exchange carrier
lines not transmitting the payphone-specific coding digits of either accurately
computing per-call compensation from their databases or paying per-phone, flat-
rate compensation computed by multiplying the $0.284 per call rate by the
nationwide average number of 800 and 888 subscriber and access code calls placed
from regional Bell operating company payphones for corresponding payment
periods. Accurate payments made at the flat rate are not subject to subsequent
adjustment for actual call counts from the applicable payphone. Based on the
information available to it, including actual payments from IXCs for the fourth
quarter of 1997, the Company does not believe application of this order will
result in any material adjustment to the dial-around compensation revenues
recorded for the period from October 7, 1997 forward.

     On May 15, 1998, the Court again remanded the per-call compensation rate to
the FCC for further explanation without vacating the $0.284 per call rate. The
Court stated that any resulting overpayment would be subject to refund and
directed the FCC to conclude its proceedings within a six-month period from the
effective date of the Court's decision. The Company believes that the FCC will
issue its ruling in the current proceeding within the six-month period
established by the Court. Based on the information available to it, the Company
does not believe that it is reasonably possible that the amount of compensation
for dial-around calls will be materially reduced from the amount recorded as
dial-around compensation. While the amount of $0.284 per call constitutes the
Company's position on the minimum appropriate level of fair compensation,
certain IXCs have challenged this rate level, asserting that the appropriate
level of fair compensation should be lower than $0.284 per call.

NOTE 9--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     In December 1995, Cellular World filed a complaint in Dade County Circuit
Court against the Company and its subsidiary, PTC Cellular, Inc., alleging
wrongful interference with Cellular World's advantageous business relationship
with Alamo Rent-A-Car, and alleged misappropriation of Cellular World's trade
secrets concerning Cellular World's proprietary cellular car phone rental system
equipment. Cellular World is seeking damages alleged to exceed $10 million. The
Company successfully obtained dismissal of one count of the complaint early in
the proceedings, but the court allowed the remaining two counts to proceed
through discovery. Formal discovery is nearly completed. On July 31, 1998, the
court granted a summary judgment in the Company's favor, dismissing one of the
two remaining counts. Trial has been reset for February 1999. Based on the
discovery conducted to date, the Company continues to believe that it has
several meritorious legal and factual defenses. Based upon the incomplete status
of discovery, the Company is unable to predict the final outcome of the
litigation.
