INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Board of Directors
U.S. Technologies Systems, Inc.
Fenton, Missouri

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of U.S. Technologies Systems,
Inc. (An S Corporation) as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the related
statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1998. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of U.S. Technologies Systems, Inc.
at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

                                                  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

================================================================================

USE OF 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 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.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS       The Company considers all highly liquid
                                investments with a maturity of three months or
                                less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

INVENTORY                       Inventory is stated at the lower of average cost
                                or market and consists of new and used
                                telecommunications equipment for resale to
                                customers.

FURNITURE, FIXTURES             Furniture, fixtures and equipment are carried at
AND EQUIPMENT,                  cost. Depreciation is computed using the
DEPRECIATION AND                straight-line method over their estimated useful
AMORTIZATION                    lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over
                                the lesser of the lease term or the useful life
                                of the property.

INCOME TAXES                    The Company has elected to be taxed under
                                Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.
                                Accordingly, the current taxable income of the
                                Company is taxable to the stockholders who are
                                responsible for the payment of taxes.

REVENUE RECOGNITION             The Company recognizes product revenue at the
                                time products are shipped to its customers.
                                Service revenue is recognized ratably over the
                                contractual period or as the services are
                                performed.

ADVERTISING COSTS               Advertising costs are charged to operations when
                                incurred. Expense is net of reimbursements
                                available from certain suppliers. Advertising
                                expenses for 1998, 1997 and 1996 were $65,084,
                                $63,896 and $58,035, respectively.



                                                                               7

                                                  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

================================================================================

NEWLY ISSUED                    In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS            Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133), "Accounting for
                                Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
                                was issued. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and
                                reporting standards requiring that every
                                derivative instrument be measured at its fair
                                value, recorded in the balance sheet as either
                                an asset or liability and that changes in the
                                derivative's fair value be recognized currently
                                in earnings. SFAS 133 is effective for fiscal
                                years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company
                                does not expect the adoption of this statement
                                to have a significant impact on its results of
                                operations, financial position or cash flows.

                                SOP 98-5 "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up
                                Activities," requires that costs be expensed as
                                incurred. This statement is effective for
                                financial statements issued for fiscal years
                                beginning after December 15, 1998. The Company
                                believes that the adoption of SOP 98-5 will have
                                no effect on its results of operations,
                                financial position or cash flows.

RECLASSIFICATIONS               Certain amounts in 1997 have been reclassified
                                to conform with the 1998 presentation. Such
                                reclassifications have had no effect on 1997
                                prior reported earnings.

                                Internal Revenue Code. The Company did not make

       XETA CORPORATION PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                                   (Unaudited)




The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet at October 31, 1999
(the "Pro Forma Balance Sheet") and the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed
Statement of Income for the year ended October 31, 1999 (the "Pro Forma
Statement of Income" and, together with the Pro Forma Balance Sheet, the "Pro
Forma Financial Statements") are presented using the purchase method of
accounting to give effect to the Purchase and reflect the combination of
consolidated historical financial data of Xeta Corporation and U.S. Technologies
Systems, Inc.

The Pro Forma Balance Sheet and the Pro Forma Statement of Income are derived
from the audited consolidated financial statements of Xeta Corporation contained
in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 1999, and from
the unaudited condensed statements of U.S. Technologies Systems, Inc. as of and
for the 12 months ended September 30, 1999, which are presented elsewhere in
this filing or derived from statements included herein. The Pro Forma Balance
Sheet as of October 31, 1999 and the Pro Forma Statement of Income are presented
as if the Purchase had occurred on November 1, 1998.

The pro forma adjustments reflected in the Pro Forma Financial Statements
represent estimated values and amounts based on available information regarding
U.S. Technologies System, Inc.'s assets and liabilities. The actual adjustments
that will result from the Purchase will be based on further evaluations and may
differ substantially from the adjustments presented herein. The Pro Forma
Financial Statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not
necessarily indicative of the financial position or operating results that would
have been achieved had the Purchase been consummated as of the dates indicated
or of the results that may be obtained in the future.

The unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with
the accompanying notes and the historical financial statements of Xeta
Corporation, and the historical unaudited combined financial statements of U.S.
Technologies Systems, Inc. which are included in this filing.
