              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal 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, 1995.

NOTE B - ACQUISITION
In January 1996, the Company acquired Automated Communications, Inc. ("ACI"), a
Golden, Colorado facilities-based long distance phone service carrier operating
switching centers in Colorado Springs, Minneapolis and Phoenix.  Consideration
for the acquisition was in the form of $4,086,693 in cash, 2,800,000 shares of
the Company's common stock valued at $10,500,000, a long term note of
$1,314,056 bearing interest at 9%, and the assumption of net liabilities of
$1,606,976.  The Company's consolidated results of operations for the periods
ended September 30, 1996 include those of ACI from January 1, 1996, the
effective date of the purchase transaction.  The excess of the purchase price
over the fair market value of the assets and liabilities acquired has been
allocated to customer acquisition costs ($1,950,000) and to goodwill
($15,668,725).  Customer acquisition costs are amortized over 4 years using the
sum-of-the-years-digits method and goodwill is amortized on a straight line
basis over 20 years.

NOTE C - PRO FORMA INFORMATION
Effective August 1, 1995, the Company acquired Tele-Trend Communications, LLC,
and effective January 1, 1996 acquired ACI.  Assuming both of the acquisitions
had occurred on January 1, 1995, the following is the pro forma condensed
consolidated operations of the Company for the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 1995. The results are not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations that might have occurred if the transactions had taken
place at January 1, 1995 or of the Company's results of operations for any
future period.  Amounts are in thousands,  except per share amounts.

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

Results of Operations

For the quarter ended September 30, 1996 revenues increased to $20,435,221
compared with revenues of $15,008,217 for the comparable period of the prior
year.  The increase of 36.2% was due to acquisitions completed by the Company
in late 1995 and the quarter ended March 31, 1996.  Billed minutes to customers
increased 52.7% between periods while the average revenue per minute decreased
by 10.8% between periods.  The average rate decline was due to the combination
of the Company's customers utilizing more competitively priced services offered
by the Company over the past year and the effect of the acquired companies'
rate structures which generally were lower than those offered by the Company.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, revenues increased 53.3% from the
comparable period of the prior year due to an increase in billed minutes of
76.9% combined with an average per minute rate decrease of 13.4% resulting from
the same reasons as the quarterly comparison.

Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996 increased to
$14,535,566 from $10,042,860 in the prior year's period which, as a percentage
of revenue, increased to 71.1% compared to 66.9% for the prior year's period.
For the nine month period, cost of revenues increased as a percentage of
revenue to 71.9% from 68.2%.  Although the Company's average cost per minute of
usage has declined by 5.2% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and
8.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, compared to the prior year's
comparable periods, the higher percentage decrease in the average revenue per
minute resulted in the decline in the Company's gross profit margin percentage.
As a result of the Company's acquisition of ACI, as described in Note B to the
financial statements, the Company now operates three long distance switches
located in Minneapolis, Colorado Springs and Phoenix and is in the process of
moving its customers' traffic to these facilities where economically feasible.
Additionally, the Company has signed an agreement with US ONE Communications
Corp., a Dallas based company formed primarily to offer wholesale
telecommunications services to long distance providers and retail
telecommunications services to commercial and residential customers.  Beginning
in July 1996, US ONE has begun deploying a network of at least 18 Lucent
5ESS-2000 switches nationwide in major markets across the U.S.  with a
scheduled completion date in late 1997.  Phoenix intends to utilize the
switching services of US ONE in each market as switches become available in
such market.  In addition to the US ONE arrangement, the Company has also
entered into an agreement with a division of Comdisco, Inc. ("Comdisco").  In
support of its core business of computer disaster recovery, Comdisco has built
a nationwide fiber optic, high speed data network which is fully satellite
redundant.  The terms of its agreement with Comdisco allow Phoenix to purchase
private line services from Comdisco at discounts to prevailing prices offered
by other private line providers.  Phoenix plans to utilize the Comdisco private
line services in conjunction with the US ONE switches to offer its customers a
telecommunications network with a lower cost per minute of usage than currently
available under the Company's reseller contracts with other facilities based

carriers.  Accordingly, the Company anticipates improvement in its gross profit
margin as a percentage of revenue as it is able to move its traffic to this
network.

US ONE experienced service difficulties in the initial phase of the service
cutover coincident with the transfer of long distance traffic from the
Company's switch to US ONE's switch in Denver in July 1996.  US ONE has stated
that these service difficulties arose principally as a result of US ONE's use
of a newly designed switch configuration and newly designed software capable of
providing local dialtone and long distance switching using the same switching
technology.  Because the Company's long distance traffic originating in Denver
could not be transferred in phases to the US ONE switch, all of the Company's
long distance traffic originating in Denver had to be transferred all at once
from the Company's Colorado Springs switch to the US ONE Denver switch.  This
procedure is referred to in the industry as a "flash cut".  On the basis of a
subsequent switch implementation by US ONE, the Company believes that the risks
of future service difficulties similar to those encountered with the Denver
switch are remote.  US ONE has agreed to pay Phoenix $850,000 as compensation
for the service difficulties encountered with the Denver switch and as
compensation for assistance provided and to be provided by Phoenix in
connection with the implementation of US ONE's switch network.  During the
quarter ended September 30, 1996, $255,000 of this amount was recognized as
revenue and the remainder will be recognized in future periods.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased slightly as a
percentage of revenue from 28.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 to
29.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 and were approximately the same
as a percentage of revenue for the comparable nine month periods.  As a result
of the acquisition of ACI in January 1996, the Company has been operating
headquarters facilities in Golden, Colorado in addition to its San Francisco
location for the six months ending June 30, 1996.  The Company has
substantially completed relocating its offices to the Golden facilities in July
1996 and anticipates a reduction in on- going SG&A as a percentage of revenue
for the remainder of 1996.  Relocation expenses for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1996 were $ 982,146 and consist primarily of employee severance,
travel, relocation and training costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $346,114, or 2.3% of
revenue, in the September 1995 quarter to $1,018,968, or 5.0% of revenue, in
the quarter ended September 1996.  The increase resulted primarily from the
amortization of the ACI acquisition and the Tele-Trend acquisition completed in
August 1995. The reasons for the changes in the nine month periods are the same
as for the quarterly comparisons.

Cash flows from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
resulted in a net negative cash flow of $1,684,168 compared to a negative cash
flow of $925,738 for the prior year.  Accounts receivable, net of the allowance
for doubtful accounts, and accounts payable, each increased at September 30,
1996 compared to December 31, 1995, as a result of the acquisition of ACI
described in Note B to the financial statements and as a result of increased
billings of the Company for the period.  In January 1996, the Company expended
$4,086,693 as the cash component of the consideration paid for ACI.  The
Company has a line of credit available through a finance company allowing for
borrowings of up to $10,000,000 based on the Company's trade receivable. There
was $1,222,071 outstanding under the line at September 30, 1996.
