            Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- -------------------------------

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principals have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and related notes should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included
in the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.  In the opinion of
management, all material adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in
the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 -- ACQUISITION
- ---------------------

On May 30, 1997, the Company completed a business combination with Suncom
Communications L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Suncom").  Under
the terms of the agreement, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary,
Suncom, Inc., acquired the assets and business of Suncom, in exchange for which
the company issued 2.1 million Common Shares to Suncom, which represented
approximately 47.5% of the Company's outstanding Common Shares.

Also on May 30, 1997, Suncom consummated an agreement with A.J. Schell acquiring
substantially all of his equity position in the Company.  As a result, Suncom is
the owner of 2,697,986 Common Shares, representing approximately 60.7% of the
outstanding Common Shares of the Company resulting in a reverse acquisition.

The transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition therefore the
financial statements presented herein represent the historical results of Suncom
and the results of operation of Audio Communications Network, Inc. from the date
of acquisition.

Assuming the reverse acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1997 the Company's
second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997 (unaudited) net revenues, net
income (loss), and earnings (loss) per share would have been approximately as
follows:

PART I
- ------

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
- -------------------------------------------------
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- -----------------------------------

On May 30, 1997,  Audio Communications Network, Inc. (the "Company") acquired
the assets of Suncom Communications, L.L.C. ("Suncom") subject to the assumption
of $18.75 million of liabilities.  In addition, the members of Suncom received
2,100,000 shares of the Company's common stock representing approximately 48% of
the shares on a fully diluted basis.  In a separate transaction, the members of
Suncom purchased 597,698 shares of the Company's common stock from Al Schell,
President, CEO and Chairman of the Board.  Suncom's franchise areas of operation
include specified areas in the states of North and South Carolina as well as
Arizona.  Suncom will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition therefore the
financial statements presented herein represent the historical results of Suncom
and the results of operation of the Company from the date of acquisition.

On June 5, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement for the sale of the
Company.  The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 1998 and
is subject to stockholder approval, regulatory approvals and other customary
conditions.

SIGNIFICANT EVENT EFFECTING SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
- --------------------------------------------------

On Tuesday, May 19, 1998 at approximately 6 PM EDT, the Galaxy IV satellite
malfunctioned and spun out of control disrupting communications for Muzak  and
several other industries.  On Wednesday, May 20, 1998 the communication
services for Muzak were transferred to the Galaxy III-R satellite.  As a result,
the Company repositioned over 11,000 customer satellite dishes to access the
Galaxy III-R satellite.

The repositioning process was completed June 19, 1998 requiring full
mobilization of technical staff and the use of outside contractors.  The Company
incurred approximately $314,000 of costs associated with the satellite
malfunction.  Revenue was affected as technical staff was diverted from revenue
generating activities.

NET REVENUES
- ------------

Consolidated Net Revenues for the 2nd Quarter of 1998 were $6,168,030 an
increase over the comparable period of 1997 of $2,651,833 or 75.4%. Consolidated
Net Revenues for the first six months of 1998 were $12,553,875 an increase over
the comparable period of 1997 of $6,375,252 or 103.2%.  The majority of the
increase is attributable to the reverse acquisition of the Company and the
balance to the growth in the franchises.

COSTS AND EXPENSES
- ------------------

Costs and Expenses for the 2nd Quarter of 1998 were $6,034,293 increasing over
the comparable period of 1997 by $2,908,771. Costs and Expenses for the first
six months of 1998 were $11,860,004 increasing over the comparable period of
1997 by $6,488,833. The 
<PAGE>
 
majority of the increase is attributable to the reverse acquisition of the
Company, the aforementioned satellite malfunction and the balance to the growth
in the Suncom franchises. Costs as a percentage of revenue is higher due to the
higher fixed cost structure of the smaller non-Suncom franchises.

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE (NET):
- -------------------------------

The increase in Other Income and Expense (Net) in the 2nd Quarter of 1998 and
the first six months of 1998 over the comparable periods in 1997 is due
primarily to the additional debt resulting from the reverse acquisition.

INCOME TAXES:
- -------------

At June 30, 1998, the Company had operating loss carryforwards for federal tax
purposes of approximately $4,100,000.  Such loss carryforwards expire in 2002
through 2012.

NET INCOME/LOSS:
- --------------- 

Net Loss for the Company's 2nd Quarter of 1998 was $715,689 compared to a loss
of $184,160 for the comparable period in 1997.  Net Loss for the first six
months of 1998 was $924,244 as compared to a loss of $247,956 for the comparable
period in 1997. The difference in operating results is primarily attributable to
the reverse acquisition of the Company and the satellite malfunction.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
- ------------------------------- 

Operating cash flows (computed as net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization) for the 2nd Quarter of 1998 was $1,546,496 increasing over the
comparable period of 1997 by $354,318.  The difference in operating cash flow is
primarily attributable to the reverse acquisition of the Company and the
satellite malfunction.

On May 30, 1997, in conjunction with the Suncom transaction, the Company repaid
all its bank debt obligations to SunTrust Bank, Central Florida, N.A. as well as
$18.75 million of debt obligations of Suncom and entered into a $32 million
credit facility with PNC Bank with SunTrust and Lehman Brothers as participation
lenders in the facility.  As of June 30, 1998, the company had an outstanding
loan balance of $28.2 million and an unused credit facility of $3.8 million.
The credit facility is subject to various covenants including: (1) Debt Service
Coverage Ratio;  (2) Debt to Cash Flow Ratio; and (3)  Debt to Minimum Monthly
Recurring Billing Required.  In addition at that time, the Company and Midwest
Mezzanine Fund entered into a $4,750,000 subordinated debt agreement.  The
agreement requires the Company to pay quarterly interest at a rate of 12.27%.
Due to costs associated with the satellite malfunction, the Company was not in
compliance with all of its debt covenants at June 30, 1998.   The Company has
obtained waivers for debt covenants that were not met. All payments of interest
and principal on loans outstanding and payments on lease obligations have been
made on a timely basis.
