             NOTE TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)     GENERAL
        -------

        The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have
        been prepared by the Registrant, without audit, pursuant to the rules
        and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Consolidated 
        herein are the financial results of the Registrant's wholly-owned
        subsidiaries, North Pittsburgh Telephone Company, Penn Telecom, Inc.,
        Pinnatech, Inc. and Management Consulting Solutions, Inc.  Certain
        information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
        statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
        principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
        regulations.  Nevertheless, the Registrant believes that its disclosures
        herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading
        and, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which consisted
        only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the
        results of operations for the interim periods have been reflected.  It
        is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be
        read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto
        included in the Registrant's latest annual report to the Securities and
        Exchange Commission on Form 10-K.


                                    ITEM 2

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


1.  Financial Condition
    -------------------

 (a) General
     -------

     There were no material changes in the Registrant's consolidated general
     financial condition from the end of its preceding fiscal year on December
     31, 1994 to June 30, 1995, the end of the six-month period reported herein.


 (b) Liquidity and Capital Resources
     -------------------------------

     Consolidated capital expenditure commitments for the purchase and
     installation of communications and other equipment at June 30, 1995
     amounted to approximately $1,285,059 with such amount being part of the
     1995 Construction Program.  Funds for financing construction expenditures
     in the six-month period ended June 30, 1995 were generated from internal
     sources.  In the foreseeable future, based on projected construction
     budgets and cash flows, North Pittsburgh Telephone Company anticipates
     financing all telephone plant construction from cash reserves and
     internally generated funds.  At June 30, 1995,  construction work
     in progress is $7,783,171.  An additional $6,021,481 will be  expended to
     complete these projects.

     The Registrant and its subsidiaries have not experienced any difficulty in
     the past meeting either long-term or short-term cash commitments.  Cash
     flow generated through regular operations has been adequate to not only
     finance the capital requirements of the Registrant as discussed in the
     previous paragraph but also to meet principal and interest payments on
     long-term debt and all working capital requirements.  It is anticipated
     that future long-term interest and principal payments will be made from
     the same source of internally generated funds.

2.  Results of Operations
    ---------------------
 
     Total operating revenues increased $1,546,000 (6.4%) in the six-month
     period ended June 30, 1995, over the comparable period in 1994.  This
     change was due to increases in long distance and access services of
     $1,286,000 (7.2%), local network services of $323,000 (9.7%) offset by a
     decrease in telecommunications equipment sales of $175,000 (15.5%). 
     Higher long distance and access service revenues were generally the result
     of an increase in the number of customers and in minutes of use.  However,
     the rate of growth of revenues slowed in 1995 as compared to 1994 due to
     the expansion in the first quarter of 1995 of an optional flat rated
     calling plan  to meet customer calling needs.  Increased local network
     service revenues were attributable to customer growth.  The decrease in
     telecommunications equipment sales reflects a decrease in the number of
     systems sold in 1995 as compared to 1994.

     Total operating expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995,
     increased $749,000 (4.9%) over the preceding year.  That change is
     principally the result of an increase in network and other operating
     expenses of $998,000 (10.8%) offset by a decrease in  telecommunication
     equipment expenses of $269,000 (23.5%).  The increase in network and other
     operating expenses is the result of expanded operations to serve customer
     growth as noted above.  In addition, increased computer software
     expenditures related to call processing and increased marketing expenses
     associated with the expansion of the optional calling plan discussed
     above, along with increased community awareness advertising campaigns
     account for the overall increases.  The decrease in telecommunication
     equipment expenses is related to the decrease in equipment sales discussed
     above.  The increase in total operating revenues discussed above coupled
     with a smaller increase in total operating expenses resulted in a 9%
     increase in net operating revenues in 1995 as compared to the same period
     in 1994.

     Interest income increased $125,000 due to the recording of unrealized
     losses on marketable securities in 1994.

     Net sundry expense of $78,000 is recorded in the first six months of 1995
     versus net sundry income of $118,000 during the same period in 1994. 
     Approximately $136,000 of the total difference of $196,000 in the
     categories between years is attributable to retroactive telephone industry
     settlements recorded in both 1995 and 1994.

     The increase in net operating revenues for the six-month period ended June
     30, 1995, in conjunction with the increase in other expense (income), net,
     resulted in an increase of $697,000 (8.2%) in earnings before income
     taxes.

     Fluctuations in the revenues and expenses for the three-month period ended
     June 30, 1995, as compared to the same quarterly period in 1994 are
     generally attributable to the same reasons above in the year-to-date
     comparisons.
