	 recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation 
	 have been included.  These statements should be read in conjunction 
	 with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the 
	 Registrant's Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 1994.

	 NOTE B - CAPITAL STOCK

	 In May 1995, the Company closed a private placement of its common 
	 stock which raised $727,519, net of fees and expenses.  The Company 
	 sold 385,000 units, at $2.20 per unit,in an off-shore financing 
	 pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933.  A unit 
	 consists of one share of common stock and a five year warrant for 
	 one half share of common stock.  Two warrants can be exercised to 
	 purchase one share of common stock at $2.20 per share.  In 
	 connection with the transaction, the placement agent was issued a 
	 five year warrant to purchase 38,500 units at $2.42 per unit.


































	Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
		  Condition and Results of Operations

	Results of Operations

	For the quarter ended June 30, 1995 revenues decreased to 
	$13,489,242 compared with revenues of $14,705,153 for the 
	comparable period of the prior year. The decrease in the 
	billed revenue between periods was due to a decline in the 
	average per minute rate and a decline in the total minutes 
	billed to customers between periods.  The average rate decline 
	was a result of the Company offering its customers more 
	competitively priced services over the past twelve months 
	causing the average per minute rate for the Company's services 
	to decrease by 4.8% between periods. Total billed minutes to 
	customers decreased by 3.6% between periods.  This was due 
	primarily to the loss of one large customer which accounted 
	for 3.3% of the minutes billed for the quarter ended June 30, 1994 
	and 1.2% of the corresponding revenue.  During the first half of 
	1995 the Company has taken steps to improve its existing direct 
	sales office and independent distributor marketing channels and 
	has added a new telemarketing program to increase its customer 
	base.  As a result of these efforts, new customer activations have 
	increased by 24% for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 compared to 
	the prior year's quarter.  Management believes it will begin to 
	see the benefit of this increase in new customer activations in 
	the third quarter of 1995.  For the six months ended June 30, 1995, 
	revenues decreased 4.9% from the comparable period of the prior 
	year due to the same reasons as the quarterly comparison.

	Cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1995 decreased 
	to $9,352,622 from $10,322,060 in the prior year's period which, as 
	a percentage of revenue, declined to 69.3% compared to 70.2% for the 
	prior year's period.  For the six month period, cost of revenues 
	declined to 68.9% from 70.9%.  The Company utilizes the services of 
	AT&T, Sprint, WilTel and Allnet as its primary carriers.  The cost 
	of service varies between carriers and, correspondingly, the rate 
	the Company charges its customer will vary depending on which carrier 
	the customer is placed for service.  During 1994 and 1995, the 
	Company has been placing the majority of its new customers on the 
	carriers providing the most favorable rates to the Company.  
	Additionally, the Company has been able to negotiate improved rates 
	with some of its carriers for a significant portion of its traffic 
	over the past year.  As a result, the average price per minute the 
	Company pays for service has decreased by 6% between periods.

	Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased as a 
	percentage of revenue from 32.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 1994 
	to 29.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 1995.  The decrease between  
	periods was due primarily to a decrease in commission expense for  
	1995 compared to 1994.  Commission expense for the quarter ended 
	June 30, 1994 was $1,370,767, or 9.3% of revenues, compared to 
	$874,373, or 6.5% of revenue, for the current year's quarter.  
	Commission expense for the first quarter of 1994 included $545,000  
	of expense related to a telemarketing program which was discontinued 
	in January 1994 for which there was no comparable charge in 1995.  
	Other components of SG&A remained relatively constant as a 
	percentage of revenue between periods and declined, in absolute 
	dollars, by approximately $286,000 between periods due primarily to 
	cost savings affected by the Company in the latter half of 1994.
	Changes in the amounts for the six month periods ended June 30, 1994 
	and 1995 are due to the same reasons as the quarterly comparisons.

	Liquidity and Capital Resources

	Cash flows from operations for the six months ended June 30,1995 
	resulted in a net negative cash flow of $98,943 compared to net 
	positive cash flow of $355,459 for the prior year's period.  The 
	Company has a line of credit available through a finance company 
	allowing for borrowings of up to $7,000,000 based on the Company's 
	trade receivables. The current maximum borrowings available under 
	the line, based on the Company's current level of receivables,   
	is approximately $4,900,000.  There was $1,800,000 outstanding 
	under the line at June 30, 1995.  The line of credit expires 
	August 26, 1995 and the Company is currently negotiating its renewal.  
	The Company is also in the process of raising additional equity 
	through a private placement of its capital stock which it expects to 
	close by September 1995. The Company has no material capital
	expenditure commitments.
