                 CAPSULE COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  Background
--------------

Capsule Communications, Inc. ("the Company"), formerly known as US Wats, Inc.,
formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary in the State of Delaware under the name of
Capsule Communications, Inc.  At the Company's annual meeting of shareholders
held on November 24, 1999, the shareholders voted to approve the reincorporation
of the Company in Delaware by merging US Wats, Inc. into the new Delaware
subsidiary.  After receiving approval from the Public Utility Commissions of
various states in which US Wats, Inc. conducted business, the reincorporation
merger was effected under Delaware law on April 27, 2000.  The Company now
operates as a Delaware corporation under the name Capsule Communications, Inc.

The Company is a switch-based interexchange carrier providing long distance
telephone communications services primarily to small and medium-size business
customers as well as residential customers.  The Company also provides inbound
long distance services and local resale services as well as other
telecommunications services such as travel cards (calling cards), cellular,
paging, internet service, dedicated access, data services, pre-paid calling
cards (debit cards), international callback and carrier termination services.
The Company uses its own switches and facilities to originate, transport and
terminate calls for customers generally located between Maine and Norfolk,
Virginia and California (on-net areas).  Approximately 86% of the calls billed
by the Company are processed through the Company's own switches as of June 30,
2000.  For calls originating or terminating outside the Company's own network
(off-net area), the Company utilizes the services provided by other
telecommunications companies.

The Company's revenues are derived primarily from the transport of outgoing and
incoming calls, which are billed by the Company to end-users at specified rates.
Transport costs of these calls are billed to the Company from other carriers at
contractual rates.  These carriers supply the Company with call detail
information, which enables the Company to bill its customers depending upon the
Company's individual rates.  The combination of the efficiency of the Company's
network and facilities, and the purchase of long distance services in bulk from
other carriers allow the Company to offer competitive rates to small and medium-
sized businesses as well as residents.

The Company differentiates itself from a price-only sales approach by offering
various value-added services for its customers, through the use of its
customized software.  The Company's outbound long distance services, inbound
services, cellular, paging and internet services are provided on one combined
bill which includes various management reports.  The Company believes its
consultative approach to meeting its customers' needs distinguishes it from its
larger competitors.

The Company has recently instituted several private internet web sites from
which its agents are generating new orders electronically.  The Company expects
to continue its efforts to expand this strategy in order to generate new
business.  Additionally, the Company is currently implementing a program to
resell local access services to its current and prospective customers in six
Bell Atlantic states under its favorable interconnection agreements. Finally, in
an effort to increase product lines, the Company has recently implemented a
marketing plan to resell Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) services, where
available, to its current and prospective customers, which provides dedicated
internet access at much greater speeds than existing dial-up service.

                                      -7-

All of the Company's customer support functions, such as customer service,
credit and collections, and administrative services are centrally located at the
Company's offices at 2 Greenwood Square, 3331 Street Road, Suite 275, Bensalem,
Pennsylvania 19020.  The Company's telephone number at that location is (215)
633-9400.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related
notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission and in the opinion of management, include all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements.
Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items.  Certain information
and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations.  Where appropriate, certain amounts in
the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the
current period presentation.  The results of operations for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for the full year.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related
notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related
notes included in the Company's Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the year ended
December 31, 1999.


2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
----------------------------------------------

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its four wholly-owned subsidiaries, USW Corporation, USW Enterprises, Inc.,
Carriers Group Inc., and US WATS of Virginia, Inc. after elimination of all
inter-company accounts, transactions and profits.

Business Segments

The Company's operations have been aggregated into a single reportable segment,
based on the similarity of its customers, products and methods of distribution,
as permitted under SFAS No. 131.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue based upon the customer's usage of services.  The
Company bills its customers for services on a monthly basis.  However, in some
instances, it bills certain customers on a more frequent basis.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash in its bank and repurchase agreements with a maturity
of three months or less when purchased as cash and cash equivalents.

At certain times during the year, the Company has balances in its operating
accounts that in the aggregate exceed the $100,000 Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation insurance limit.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation is calculated for
financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets:

            Telecommunications equipment      7 years
            Furniture fixtures and other      5 years

Deferred Financing Costs

Loan origination costs are amortized over the term of the related loan, and are
included in other assets.

Goodwill

The Company records the excess of purchase price over the fair market value of
net assets acquired as goodwill.  Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line
method over 3 years and is included in other assets.

Accounts Payable

Accounts payable includes the cost of access charges due local telephone
companies and long distance transport purchased from long distance carriers.

Marketing

All costs related to marketing and advertising the Company's products and
services are expensed in the period incurred.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated 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.

Loss Per Common Share Attributable to Common Shareholders

Loss per common share attributable to common shareholders is computed by
dividing net loss after deduction of preferred stock dividends, if any, by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company's
potential common stock equivalents had an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share
attributable to common shareholders and, therefore, diluted loss per common
share attributable to common shareholders has not been presented.

The following table summarizes those securities that could potentially dilute
loss per common share attributable to common shareholders in the future that
were not included in determining the fully diluted loss per common share
attributable to common shareholders as the effect is anti-dilutive.

</TABLE>

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company's financial instruments such as accounts
receivable, accounts payable, and note payable approximate their carrying
amounts.

Carrying Value of Long-Term Assets

The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-term assets, including
property, plant and equipment, and other intangibles, based upon current and
anticipated undiscounted cash flows, and recognizes an impairment when such
estimated cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset.  Measurement
of the amount of impairment, if any, is based upon the difference between
carrying value and fair value.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."  This
statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives), and hedging activities.  It
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value.  The Company will adopt this standard beginning in January, 2001
and is currently evaluating the effect it will have on the Company's financial
statements.

Reclassification of Accounts

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior years' balances to the
current year presentation.


3.  Note Payable
----------------

The Company has a revolving $2,000,000 credit facility with Century Business
Credit Corporation, which is renewable for three successive one-year periods
beginning on May 11, 1999.  Interest on the revolving credit facility is
currently calculated at the prime lending rate plus 2 3/4%, on a minimum loan
balance of $750,000.  The loan is collateralized by accounts receivable and
fixed and intangible assets of the Company.  As of June 30, 2000, the Company's
outstanding balance on its credit facility was approximately $1,304,000 leaving
approximately $696,000 available, based on collateral, for future borrowing
under the credit facility.

On March 22, 2000, the Company entered into Loan Agreements with Gold & Appel
Transfer, S.A. ("G &A") and the Foundation for the International Non-
Governmental Development of Space, a non-profit organization ("FINDS").  Walt
Anderson, a director of the Company, is also the president and director of both
G&A and FINDS.  The terms of the agreements call for the Company to borrow up to
an aggregate $1,500,000 from G&A and FINDS at a rate of 10% per annum and due
and payable on March 1, 2001.  The agreements allow the Company to repay the
amounts loaned plus accrued interest by issuing shares of the Company's common
stock to the investors.  On May 19, 2000, the Company exercised its option to
repay the indebtedness under the Agreements and, on May 24, 2000, the Company
issued to G&A and FINDS 333,333 and 666,667 shares of common stock,
respectively, in full payment of the outstanding principal of, and accrued
interest on, the loans previously made by the investors to the Company in the
respective original principal amounts of $1.0 million and $500,000.  These
amounts are recorded as common stock and additional paid in capital-common stock
as of June 30, 2000.

During 1999, the Company obtained a letter of credit in the amount of $752,000
for the potential settlement of litigation related to Mr. Scully (see footnote
4).


4.   Litigation
---------------

On June 13, 1997, Mark Scully, the former President and Chief Operating Officer
of the Company, filed a complaint against the Company, Kevin O'Hare, Aaron Brown
and Stephen Parker in the United States District Court for the Eastern District
of Pennsylvania.  Mr. Scully asserts various claims in connection with his
termination of employment with the Company on December 30, 1996.  In particular,
he alleges, among other things, breach of contract in connection with the
termination of certain stock options, breach of the alleged contract for
employment, breach of an asserted duty of good faith and fair dealing,
fraudulent and negligent misrepresentation, and civil conspiracy.  Mr. Scully
alleges damages of at least $1.6 million, plus attorneys' fees, costs and other
disbursements and the cost of COBRA payments and interest; $1 million of the
alleged damages claimed are punitive.  The Company contests the allegations of
the complaint and intends to vigorously defend against the action.  On June 9,
1999, the Court issued its decision and judgment was entered in favor of Mr.
Scully and against the Company and two former officers for the sum of
approximately $626,000, which was accrued during 1999, and required the Company
to establish an escrow amount equal to 120% of the judgment.  The balance in the
escrow account at June 30, 2000 was $790,376 and is recorded as restricted cash.
The Court denied Mr. Scully's claim for attorneys' fees and liquidated damages.
The Company has appealed the decision and maintains that the Court made a number
of errors of law and that the Court applied the wrong measure of damages.

Mr. Scully has appealed the judgment as well.

On November 5, 1999, the Company filed a civil action lawsuit against Cominex,
LLC ("Cominex"), a former customer, in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania, to recover approximately $835,000 for unpaid
telephone services.  On February 4, 2000, the Court entered a stipulated
judgment in the Company's favor for approximately $835,000.  Under the
stipulated judgment, the Company could not proceed to collect or execute on any
assets of Cominex for a period of 90 days from the entry of the judgment, which
period expired on May 5, 2000.  Cominex has orally advised the Company that it
has no unencumbered assets.  As of this date, there is no additional information
concerning the likely recovery, if any, on the judgment.

The Company is party, in the ordinary course of business, to other litigation
involving services rendered, contract claims and other miscellaneous causes of
action arising from its business.  The Company has established reserves relating
to its legal claims and believes that potential liabilities in excess of those
recorded will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
financial statements, however, there can be no assurances to that effect.


5.   Investment Agreement
-------------------------

On June 30, 2000, the Company entered into an amendment of a previously
authorized investment agreement with G&A and FINDS, whereby the investors
jointly and severally agreed to purchase from the Company shares of the
Company's common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $3.0 million pursuant
to installments scheduled between June 30, 2000 and December 29, 2000.  In
exchange, the Company will issue to the investors a number of shares of common
stock, equal to the quotient that results from dividing each investment amount
by the higher of the 30-trading day average closing price of the common stock
prior to each transaction, or $1.25.

On June 30, 2000, as part of the investment agreement, the Company issued
720,000 shares of common stock to G&A and in exchange subsequently received
$900,000 in cash from G&A.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company's revenues increased for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 by
approximately $830,000 (10%) from the level recorded for the quarter ended March
31, 2000.  Approximately $268,000 of the increase was attributed to the purchase
of certain assets of the private line business of Cam-Comm, Inc.  In addition,
approximately $509,000 of the increase was attributed to the increase in revenue
from the carrier channel (sales to other carrier customers).  Also,
approximately $53,000 of the increase was attributed to the increase in revenue
derived from retail sales through the agent channel.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 compared with Three Months ended June 30, 1999
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company's revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 decreased by
approximately $673,000 over the second quarter ended June 30, 1999, or 7%.
Approximately $525,000 (78%) of the revenue decrease from the quarter ended June
30, 1999 was due to a decline in the Company's revenue derived from retail sales
through the agent and reseller channels.  This was mainly attributed to
decreasing selling rates as a result of strong competition in the marketplace.
Competitive pressures resulted in a decline in the Company's average retail rate
per minute of $.022 from the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $.082 in the
three months ended June 30, 2000.  The decline in the average retail rate per
minute was offset by an increase in minutes and subscribers.  The number of
retail minutes increased by approximately 6,289,000 over the three months ended
June 30, 1999, however, as a result of the decline in the average retail rate
per minute, retail revenue declined.  In addition, approximately $148,000 (22%)
of the decrease was due to a decline in revenue from the carrier sales channel.
Similar to the retail sales channel, the average selling price per minute in the
carrier sales channel also decreased from the quarter ended June 30, 1999 as a
result of strong competition.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2000, gross profit as a percentage of revenue
decreased to 27.1% versus 28.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999.  The
decrease in gross profit margin is attributed to an increase in cost of sales in
the quarter ended June 30, 2000 a result of temporary duplication of network

                                     -13-
<PAGE>

facilities associated with migrating the network to the new switch in
Philadelphia. Overall, the Company's gross profit decreased approximately
$318,000, mainly due to the decrease in revenue as noted above.

Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the second quarter
ended June 30, 2000 decreased by approximately $89,000 over the amount for the
second quarter ended June 30, 1999.  The decrease was a result of a decrease in
commission expense offset by an increase in salary expense.  SG&A expense as a
percentage of revenue increased from approximately 36% during the quarter ended
June 30, 1999 to approximately 38% for the quarter ended June 30, 2000.  This
increase is a result of the decrease in revenues and the increase in salary
expense as noted above.

Interest expense remained relatively unchanged for the second quarter ended June
30, 2000, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1999.

The Company recorded a net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 of
approximately $1,009,000 an increase of approximately $237,000 from the quarter
ended June 30, 1999.  The net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 is
attributed to the decrease in revenues, the increase in salary expense and the
increase in cost of sales associated with the duplicate costs incurred from
migrating the network to the new switch in Philadelphia as noted above.


Six Months ended June 30, 2000 compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 1999
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company's revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000 decreased by
approximately $1,125,000 over the six months ended June 30, 1999, or 6%.  This
decrease was primarily due to a decrease in revenue derived from retail sales
through the agent and reseller channels of approximately $931,000 (83%).  This
was mainly attributed to decreasing selling rates as a result of strong
competition in the marketplace.  Competitive pressures resulted in a decline in
the Company's average retail rate per minute of $.024 from the six months ended
June 30, 1999 to $.084 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.  Also,
approximately $194,000 (17%) of the revenue decrease was attributed to a decline
in revenue from the carrier sales channel as a result of similar decreased
selling prices forced by competition.

The Company's gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2000 decreased
approximately $670,000 (11%) over the six months ended June 30, 1999.  The
decrease in gross profit is due to the decrease in revenue as well as duplicate
expenses associated with migrating the network over to the new Philadelphia
switch as noted above.  The Company's gross profit margin decreased from 30.0%
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to 28.2% for the six months ended June
30, 2000.

SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were approximately $38,000
lower than the amount incurred for the six months ended June 30, 1999.  This was
primarily a result of a decrease in commission expense offset by an increase in
salary expense.  SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were
approximately 39% of revenue, compared to approximately 37% for the six months
ended June 30, 1999.  This increase was primarily attributed to the decrease in
revenues as noted above.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000 remained relatively the
same as the six months ended June 30, 1999.

The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was approximately
$2,079,000, an increase of approximately $630,000 from the six months ended June
30, 1999.  This increase was mainly attributed to the decrease in revenues as
well as an increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue as noted

                                     -14-
<PAGE>

above. Also, approximately $300,000 of the net loss for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 was associated with the temporary duplicate network costs incurred
as a result of the migration of the network to the new switch in Philadelphia.
The Company was forced to pay duplicate network costs to its underlying carriers
through May 31, 2000 as a result of decommissioning network facilities connected
to the old switch in Philadelphia. Also, approximately $490,000 in salary and
other SG&A expenses was incurred as a result of the implementation of a new
Affinity direct sales program. The program was designed to target customers from
Chambers of Commerce throughout the nation and their members. Finally,
approximately $164,000 in legal, regulatory and marketing expenses was incurred
as a result of the Company's reincorporation merger and name change to Capsule
Communications, Inc.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 2000, cash and cash equivalents were approximately $2,286,000.  Cash
flow used in operations in the first six months of 2000 was approximately
$748,000.  Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $273,000,
which primarily resulted from the purchase of property and equipment.

Working capital deficiency at June 30, 2000 was approximately $1,129,000 as
compared to a deficiency of approximately $1,549,000 at December 31, 1999.  The
increase in working capital was primarily due to the increase in note payable
associated with the loan agreements with Gold & Appel and FINDS, which was
subsequently converted to equity in the second quarter of 2000, offset by the
net loss as mentioned above.

The Company's working capital ratio increased from .83:1.00 from December 31,
1999 to .89:1.00 at June 30, 2000.  The Company's cash balance increased
approximately $689,000 from its balance at December 31, 1999.  This was
primarily due to the loan mentioned above, which was subsequently converted to
equity.

On March 22, 2000, the Company entered into Loan Agreements with Gold & Appel
Transfer, S.A. ("G &A") and the Foundation for the International Non-
Governmental Development of Space, a non-profit organization ("FINDS").  Walt
Anderson, a director of the Company, is also the president and director of both
G&A and FINDS.  The terms of the agreements call for the Company to borrow up to
an aggregate $1,500,000 from G&A and FINDS at a rate of 10% per annum and due
and payable on March 1, 2001.  The agreements allow the Company to repay the
amounts loaned plus accrued interest by issuing shares of the Company's common
stock to the investors.  On May 19, 2000, the Company exercised its option to
repay the indebtedness under the Agreements and, on May 24, 2000, the Company
issued to G&A and FINDS 333,333 and 666,667 shares of common stock,
respectively, in full payment of the outstanding principal of, and accrued
interest on, the loans previously made by the investors to the Company in the
respective original principal amounts of $1.0 million and $500,000.  These
amounts are recorded as common stock and additional paid in capital-common stock
as of June 30, 2000.

Also, on May 19, 2000, the Company entered into an investment agreement with G&A
and FINDS, which was subsequently amended on June 30, 2000, pursuant to which
the Investors jointly and severally agreed to purchase from the Company
additional shares of Common Stock on several installment dates for an aggregate
purchase price of $3.0 million.  On such dates, the Company will issue to the
investors a number of shares of Common Stock, equal to the quotient that results
from dividing each investment amount by the higher of the 30-trading day average
closing price of the common stock prior to each transaction, or $1.25.

                                     -15-
<PAGE>

On June 30, 2000, as part of the investment agreement, the Company issued
720,000 shares of common stock to G&A and in exchange subsequently received
$900,000 in cash from G&A.

The Company believes that it will require additional funds in the near future to
continue its operations. Management will focus on obtaining additional financing
and raising additional equity in order to support future growth.  The Company's
plans for growth include both substantial internal growth and the potential
acquisition of other telecommunications companies. Also, in order to achieve the
Company's plans for growth in the long distance business as well as its entry
into other communications services, the Company may require additional financing
and is currently seeking sources of funding. The Company cannot give assurance
as to the potential success of these efforts.
