                VANGUARD CELLULAR SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 -- ORGANIZATION
     Vanguard Cellular Systems, Inc. ("Vanguard") (a North Carolina corporation)
through its only direct subsidiary, Vanguard Cellular Financial Corp. ("VCFC"),
is a provider of cellular telephone service to various markets in the eastern
United States. The majority of Vanguard's operations are conducted in the
Mid-Atlantic SuperSystem covering areas of Pennsylvania, New York and New
Jersey. The primary activities of Vanguard, VCFC, its wholly owned subsidiaries
and its majority owned cellular entities (collectively referred to as the
Company) include acquiring interests in entities that have been granted
nonwireline Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") permits to construct or
authorizations to operate cellular telephone systems, and constructing and
operating cellular telephone systems.
     All of the Company's cellular entities operate under the trade name of
CellularONE(Register mark), which is the trade name many nonwireline carriers
have adopted to provide uniformity throughout the industry. The trade name is
owned by a partnership in which the Company holds a minority ownership interest.
     Vanguard is a holding company which is the 100% shareholder of VCFC. This
organization was created to structurally subordinate Vanguard's $200 million in
Senior Debentures to VCFC's Credit Facility. (See Note 4  -- Long-Term Financing
Arrangements.)
Note 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vanguard,
VCFC, its wholly owned subsidiaries and the entities in which it has a majority
ownership interest. Investments in which the Company exercises significant
influence but does not exercise control through majority ownership have been
accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Investments in which the
Company does not exercise significant influence or control through majority
ownership have been accounted for using the cost method of accounting. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
USE OF ESTIMATES
     The preparation of these consolidated financial statements and footnote
disclosures required the use of certain estimates by management in determining
the Company's financial position and results of operations. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
CELLULAR TELEPHONE INVENTORIES
     Inventories, consisting primarily of cellular telephones held for resale,
are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market.
INVESTMENTS
     INVESTMENTS IN CELLULAR ENTITIES -- Investments in cellular entities
consist of the costs incurred to acquire FCC licenses or interests in entities
that have been awarded FCC licenses to provide cellular service net of the
Company's share of the fair value of the net assets acquired, payments of other
acquisition related expenses and capital contributions to unconsolidated
cellular entities. The Company's investment in consolidated cellular entities is
being amortized over forty years. Exchanges of minority ownership interests in
cellular entities are recorded based on the fair value of the ownership
interests acquired.
     INVESTMENTS IN NONCELLULAR ENTITIES -- Investments in noncellular entities
consist of the Company's investments in International Wireless Communications
Holdings, Inc. ("IWC"), Inter(Bullet)Act Systems, Incorporated
("Inter(Bullet)Act") and Geotek Communications, Inc. ("Geotek"). The investments
in IWC and Inter(Bullet)Act are recorded using the equity method. The investment
in Geotek common stock is considered to be "available for sale" under the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Accordingly, the
Company's investment in the common stock of Geotek is recorded at its fair value
and the investment in other securities of Geotek is recorded at cost.

Note 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES -- Continued
     The Company recognizes, only to the extent of its investment, its pro rata
share of the net income or losses generated by the unconsolidated cellular and
noncellular entities carried on the equity method of accounting.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
     Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated on
a straight-line basis for financial reporting purposes over the following
estimated useful lives:
<TABLE>
<S>                                                                                        <C>

Cellular telephones held for rental.....................................................           3 years
Cellular telephone systems..............................................................        7-20 years
Office furniture and equipment..........................................................        3-10 years
</TABLE>
 
     At December 31, 1996 and 1995, construction in progress was composed
primarily of the cost of uncompleted additions to the Company's cellular
telephone systems in majority owned cellular markets. The Company capitalized
interest costs of $1.3 million, $1.3 million and $684,000 in 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively, as part of the cost of cellular telephone systems.
     Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to operations as
incurred. Gains or losses at the time of disposition of property and equipment
are reflected in the statements of operations currently.
     Cellular telephones are rented to certain customers generally with a
contract for a minimum stipulated length of service. Such customers have the
option to purchase the cellular telephone at any time during the term of the
agreement.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED
ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF, the Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived
assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Under SFAS No. 121, an impairment loss would be recognized when
estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its
eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. No such impairment losses
have been identified by the Company.
OTHER ASSETS
     Other assets include deferred financing costs which are being amortized
over the period of the related agreements. Amortization of $1.6 million, $1.3
million and $1.3 million has been included in interest expense in each of the
accompanying December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 Statements of Operations,
respectively. In addition, payments related to agreements not to compete in
certain cellular markets are being amortized over the period of the related
agreements. As of December 31, 1995, these agreements had been fully amortized.
Amortization expense relating to these agreements of $40,000 and $160,000 has
been included in the accompanying December 31, 1995 and 1994 Statements of
Operations, respectively. Other assets also include $8.2 million allocated to
the acquired customer bases in connection with the acquisitions of the Logan, WV
(WV-6) RSA in August 1996, the Union, PA (PA-8) RSA in January 1995, and the
Binghamton, NY and Elmira, NY MSAs in December 1994. The customer bases are
being amortized over a four-year period and accordingly amortization of $1.8
million and $1.7 million has been included in the accompanying December 31, 1996
and 1995 Statements of Operations, respectively.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
     Service revenue is recognized at the time cellular services are provided
and service fees related to prebilled services are not recognized until earned.
Cellular telephone equipment revenues consist primarily of sales of cellular
telephones to subscribers and are recognized at the time equipment is delivered
to the subscriber.

Note 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES -- Continued
INCOME TAXES
     The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires the use of the "asset and
liability method" of accounting for income taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax
liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax
rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
     Net income (loss) per share is computed based upon the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the year. Stock options have not been
included in the calculation of net income per share for 1996 as their effect
would not be significant, and have not been included in the calculation of net
loss per share for 1995 and 1994 as their effect would be antidilutive.
     In February 1997, SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" was issued. SFAS No.
128 requires presentation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per
share and supersedes or amends all previous earnings per share presentation
requirements. Basic earnings per share will be based on income available to
common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is also based on income available to
common shareholders divided by the sum of the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding and all diluted potential common shares. SFAS No. 128 is
effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997. Earlier adoption is
not allowed and the Company has not determined the impact on its future earnings
per share presentations.

INVESTMENTS IN CELLULAR ENTITIES
     The Company continues to expand its ownership of cellular markets through
strategic acquisitions. The Company's significant activity relating to its
cellular investments is discussed below.
     In April 1994, the Company completed the acquisition of the Altoona, PA MSA
and the Chambersburg, PA (PA-10) RSA, which are contiguous to its Mid-Atlantic
SuperSystem in exchange for $4.4 million in cash, the exchange of Hagerstown, MD
cellular market and the Company's minority ownership interest in one cellular
market.
     The Company purchased in October 1994, for $6.9 million in cash and $3.3
million in the Company's Class A common stock, the Washington, ME (ME-4) RSA and
three of the four counties of the Mason, WV (WV-1) RSA. The Maine RSA is
approximately 40 miles north of the Portland, ME MSA, which is already operated
by the Company. The West Virginia RSA is contiguous to the Company's Charleston,
WV MSA.
     In December 1994, the Company purchased the Binghamton, NY MSA and the
Elmira, NY MSA for a purchase price consisting of 1,766,674 shares of the
Company's Class A common stock and $6.1 million in cash. These markets are
contiguous to the Company's Mid-Atlantic SuperSystem.

     In January 1995, the Company purchased the Union, PA (PA-8) RSA for a cash
price of $51.3 million. The PA-8 RSA lies in the center of the Company's
Mid-Atlantic SuperSystem and is an operational cellular system. Pro forma
consolidated results of operations, as if the acquisition of the Union, PA RSA
had occurred January 1, 1994, are as follows (in thousands, except per share

     In December 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining
13.24% ownership interests in the Harrisburg, PA MSA in exchange for ownership
interests in cellular markets outside its regional metro-clusters and $2.9
million in cash.
     In August 1996, the Company acquired the Logan, WV RSA ("WV-6 RSA") for a
cash purchase price of $16.7 million. The WV-6 RSA is contiguous to the
Company's West Virginia markets and its operations are managed as part of its
West Virginia metro-cluster. Pro forma results of operations, as if the

     In the third quarter of 1996, the Company acquired the remaining portions
of the State College, PA and Williamsport, PA MSA's and the PA-10 East RSA in
exchange for $2.8 million in cash. These markets are now 100% owned by the
Company.
     In October 1996, the Company exchanged certain cellular properties for four
cellular markets contiguous to its Ohio Valley SuperSystem. In this transaction,
the Company received four markets, OH-9 RSA, OH-10 RSA (excluding Perry and
Hocking counties), Parkersburg-Marietta, WV-OH MSA, and the remaining county in
the WV-1 RSA, in exchange for the Company's Orange County, NY cellular market
and ownership interests in several minority owned cellular markets. The Company
surrendered 324,000 POPs in Orange County and 76,000 POPs in minority owned
markets, and added 542,000 POPs to the Ohio Valley SuperSystem. This transaction
was treated principally as an exchange of similar productive assets and,
therefore, the cellular markets received have been recorded at the historical
cost of the Orange County, NY cellular market, increased for the fair value of
the additional minority ownership interests given up.
CELLULAR ENTITIES ON THE EQUITY METHOD
     The Company holds an investment in a joint venture known as Eastern North
Carolina Cellular Joint Venture ("ENCCJV"), owned 50% by the Company, created to
acquire, own and operate various cellular markets located primarily in eastern
North Carolina. The underlying net assets of the joint venture consist
principally of its investment in the FCC licenses in the Wilmington, NC and
Jacksonville, NC MSA cellular markets. The Company recognized $1.9 million,
$284,000 and $206,000 as its proportionate share of the ENCCJV earnings during
the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

CELLULAR ENTITIES ON THE COST METHOD
     The investment balance of approximately $10.0 million at December 31, 1996
represents the Company's investment in approximately 40 cellular markets with
ownership interests ranging from 0.30% to 5.09%. The Company holds these
ownership interests for investment purposes.
NONCELLULAR INVESTMENTS
INTERNATIONAL WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS HOLDINGS, INC. AND FOREIGN INVESTMENTS
     The Company owns approximately 36% of the outstanding stock of IWC and has
invested an aggregate of $13.8 million. IWC is a development stage company
specializing in securing, building and operating wireless businesses, generally
other than cellular telephone systems, primarily in Asia and Latin America.
     During 1996, IWC completed the sale of 14% Senior Secured Discount Notes
due 2001, which have been exchanged for identical notes registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and warrants to purchase shares of
IWC common stock. IWC received approximately $100 million in net proceeds from
this financing which will be used to fund existing projects and the exploration
of other opportunities. As existing and new projects are in the network buildout
phase, the losses of IWC are expected to grow significantly in future years. The
Company records its proportionate share of these losses under the equity method
of accounting. During 1995 and 1996, the Company recognized an amount of losses
on the equity method from IWC that is equal to the Company's equity investment
in IWC. As a result, the Company has suspended the recognition of losses
attributable to IWC until such time that the equity method income is available
to offset the Company's share of IWC's future losses.
     Subsequent to December 31, 1996, the Company entered into a stock purchase
agreement to purchase from an unrelated third party 7% of the outstanding shares
of Star Digitel Limited ("SDL"), a Hong Kong company whose principal business
activities relate to the provision and development of cellular
telecommunications services in the People's Republic of China. Pursuant to the
stock purchase agreement, the Company's purchase of such shares will occur in
two closings, which are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, for
an aggregate cash consideration of $8.4 million. IWC also recently acquired and
maintains a 40% ownership interest in SDL.
INTER(BULLET)ACT SYSTEMS, INCORPORATED.
     As of December 31, 1996, the Company had invested $10.0 million in
Inter(Bullet)Act for an ownership interest of approximately 26%.
Inter(Bullet)Act is a development stage company that provides consumer product
manufacturers and retailers (currently supermarkets) the ability to offer
targeted promotions to retail customers at the point of entry of a retail outlet
through an interactive multi-media system utilizing ATM-like terminals.
     During 1996, Inter(Bullet)Act completed the sale of 142,000 units ("Units")
of 14% Senior Discount Notes due 2003, which have been exchanged for identical
notes registered with the SEC and warrants to purchase shares of common stock at
$.01 per share. The Company purchased for $12.0 million a total of 18,000 Units
consisting of $18.0 million principal amount at maturity of these 14% Senior
Discount Notes and warrants to purchase 132,012 shares of common stock. At
issuance, the Company allocated, based upon the estimated fair values, $8.9
million and $3.1 million to the debentures and warrants purchased by the
Company, respectively. The shares issuable upon the exercise of these warrants
currently represent approximately 2% of Inter(Bullet)Act's outstanding common
stock. In addition, an existing warrant held by the Company was restructured
whereby the Company has the right to acquire at any time prior to May 5, 2005 an
aggregate of 900,113 shares of common stock for $23.50 per share, which shares
presently represent approximately 10% of the outstanding common stock of
Inter(Bullet)Act.
     Inter(Bullet)Act has incurred net losses since its inception.
Inter(Bullet)Act received approximately $91 million in net proceeds from the
above financing which will be used to accelerate the roll-out of its systems in
retail supermarkets and, as a result, the net losses incurred by
Inter(Bullet)Act are expected to grow significantly in future years. The Company
records its proportionate share

of these losses under the equity method of accounting. The Company anticipates
that during 1997 its cumulative proportionate share of Inter(Bullet)Act losses
will exceed the remaining portion of its investment in Inter(Bullet)Act.
Accordingly the Company will suspend the recognition of losses attributable to
Inter(Bullet)Act until such time that the equity method income is available to
offset the Company's share of Inter(Bullet)Act's future losses.
     In addition to the current ownership held by the Company certain officers,
directors and entities affiliated with certain directors of the Company maintain
an additional 27% ownership interest in Inter(Bullet)Act. The aggregate amount
of losses recognized on the equity method of accounting for IWC and
Inter(Bullet)Act are $15.7 million and $2.5 million during 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
GEOTEK COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
     In 1994, the Company purchased from Geotek 2.5 million shares of Geotek
common stock for $30 million and received a series of options to purchase
additional shares and entered into a management consulting agreement to provide
operational and marketing support in exchange for 300,000 shares of Geotek
common stock per year. The investment in Geotek common shares is presented in
the above table and is accounted for as "available for sale" pursuant to SFAS
No. 115. As such, the investment is recorded as its market value, and a net
unrealized holding loss of $14.6 million has been recorded as a component of
shareholders' equity as of December 31, 1996. In September 1995, the Company
purchased for $5.0 million in cash 531,463 shares of convertible preferred stock
of Geotek with a stated value of $9.408 per share. The preferred stock
investment is accounted for at cost and is included in Other Equity Investments
in the above table. The stock options previously granted to the Company by
Geotek in 1994 have all expired unexercised. The expiration of the options also
resulted in the termination of the management agreement.
     Under the management agreement, the Company earned and recorded as revenue
approximately 201,370 shares with an aggregate value of $2.1 million in 1996,
approximately 300,000 shares with an aggregate value of $2.4 million in 1995 and
approximately 250,000 shares with an aggregate value of $2.5 million in 1994.
The Company currently owns less than 5% of Geotek's outstanding common stock.

CREDIT FACILITY OF VCFC
     In December 1994, the Company completed the closing of a $675 million
credit facility, pursuant to an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the "Credit
Facility"), with various lenders led by The Toronto-Dominion Bank and The Bank
of New York.
     The Credit Facility is available to provide the Company with additional
financial and operating flexibility and enable it to pursue business
opportunities that may arise in the future. The Credit Facility refinanced the
Company's then existing $390 million credit facility. In connection with the
refinancing, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $8.4 million ($0.22
per share) in 1994, which represented the write-off of all unamortized deferred
financing costs related to the refinanced facility.
     The Credit Facility consists of a "Term Loan" and a "Revolving Loan." The
Term Loan, in the amount of $325 million, was used to repay the Company's
borrowings under the prior credit facility. The Revolving Loan, in the amount of
up to $350 million, is available for capital expenditures, to make acquisitions
of and investments in cellular and other wireless communication interests, and
for other general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 1996, $105 million had
been borrowed under the Revolving Loan and the terms of these agreements limit
additional available borrowing during the first quarter of 1997 to $54.0
million.
     The outstanding amount of the Term Loan as of March 30, 1998 is to be
repaid in increasing quarterly installments commencing on March 31, 1998 and
terminating at the maturity date of December 31, 2003. The quarterly installment
payments begin at 1.875% of the outstanding principal amount at March 30, 1998
and gradually increase to 5.625% at March 31, 2003. The available borrowings
under the Revolving Loan shall be reduced on a quarterly basis also commencing
on

begins at 1.875% of the Revolving Loan commitment at March 30, 1998 and
gradually increases to 5.625% on March 31, 2003. The outstanding borrowings
under the Term Loan are due and the Revolving Loan commitment is reduced

</TABLE>
 
     The Term Loan and the Revolving Loan bear interest at a rate equal to the
Company's choice of the Prime Rate or Eurodollar Rate plus an applicable margin
based upon a leverage ratio for the most recent fiscal quarter. The ranges for
this applicable margin are 0.0% to 0.5% for the Prime Rate and 1.0% to 1.75% for
the Eurodollar Rate. As of December 31, 1996 the leverage ratio, which is
computed as the ratio of Total Debt (as defined) to Adjusted Cash Flow (as
defined), was at such a level as to cause the applicable margins on the
borrowings to be 0.0% and 1.125% per annum for the Prime Rate and Eurodollar
Rate, respectively. At December 31, 1996, the Company's effective interest rate
on its outstanding borrowings was 7.65%.
     As security for borrowings under the Credit Facility, VCFC has pledged
substantially all of its tangible and intangible assets and future cash flows.
Among other restrictions, the credit facility restricts the payment of cash
dividends, limits the use of borrowings, limits the creation of additional
long-term indebtedness and requires the maintenance of certain financial ratios.
The requirements of the Credit Facility were established in relation to
projected capital needs and projected results of operations and cash flow. These
requirements generally were designed to require continued improvement in
operating performance such that its cash flow would be sufficient to continue
servicing the debt as repayments are required. VCFC is in compliance with all
loan covenants.
SENIOR DEBENTURES OF VANGUARD
     On April 10, 1996, Vanguard issued $200 million aggregate principal amount
of 9 3/8% Senior Debentures due 2006 (the "Debentures") through an underwritten
public offering. The Debentures were issued at a price to the public of 99.901
for a yield of 9.384%. The net proceeds from the sale of the Debentures of
approximately $194.8 million were used to reduce borrowings under the Revolving
Loan portion of the Credit Facility and pay approximately $844,000 of expenses
in connection with an amendment to the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility was
amended to permit issuance of the Debentures and to require the structural
subordination of the Debentures by making VCFC the primary obligor of the Credit
Facility and all liabilities of the Company (other than the Debentures) and the
owner of all stock and partnership interests of the Company's operating
subsidiaries. The Debentures mature in 2006 and are redeemable at the Company's
option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after April 15, 2001. There are
no mandatory sinking fund payments for the Debentures. Interest is payable
semi-annually. Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the
Indenture for the Debentures), the Company will be required to make an offer to
purchase the Debentures at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal
amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of
purchase.
     The Debentures require that the Company limit, among other things, the
incurrence of additional indebtedness, the payment of dividends or the
repurchase of Capital Stock, certain distributions and transfers, and certain
asset sales.

INTEREST RATE PROTECTION AGREEMENTS
     The Company maintains interest rate swaps and interest rate caps which
provide protection against interest rate risk. At December 31, 1996 the Company
had interest rate cap agreements in place covering a notional amount of $100
million. The interest rate cap agreements provide protection to the extent that
LIBOR exceeds the strike level through the expiration date as follows (in
thousands):
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
  STRIKE LEVEL       NOTIONAL AMOUNT     EXPIRATION DATE

      9.75                 50,000          December 1997
                        $ 100,000
</TABLE>
 
     The total cost of these interest rate cap agreements of $412,500 has been
recorded in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and is
being amortized over the lives of the agreements as a component of interest
expense.
     Additionally, the Company maintains interest rate swap agreements that fix
the LIBOR interest rate at 6.01% on a notional amount of $50 million through
July 1997. Under these swap agreements, the Company benefits if LIBOR interest
rates increase above the fixed rates and incurs additional interest expense if
rates remain below the fixed rates. Any amounts received or paid under these
agreements are reflected as interest expense over the period covered.
     On December 9, 1996, the Company entered into two 10 year reverse interest
rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $75 million. The reverse swaps
effectively convert $75 million of the Debentures into floating rate debt with
interest payable at the six month LIBOR rate plus 3.1%. Simultaneous with this
transaction, the Company purchased an interest rate cap that limits the total
interest on the $75 million to 10% for the first three years should interest
rates rise. The rate for the first six month period is 8.64% or .735% below the
coupon rate on the Debentures.
     The effect of interest rate protection agreements on the operating results
of the Company was to increase interest expense by $464,000, $82,000, and
$95,000 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Company does not hold or issue
financial instruments for trading purposes.
     Subsequent to December 31, 1996 the Company entered into additional
interest rate protection agreements. The Company purchased interest rate cap
agreements covering a notional amount of $50 million, having a strike level of
7.5% and having an expiration date of February 1999. The total cost of these
agreements was $141,700. Additionally, the Company entered into two 9 year
reverse interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $25 million. The
reverse swaps effectively convert $25 million of the Debentures into floating
rate debt with interest payable at the six-month LIBOR rate plus 2.61%.
Simultaneously with this transaction, the Company purchased an interest rate cap
that limits the total interest on the $25 million to 10% for the first three
years. The rate for the first six month period will be set on April 11, 1997

</TABLE>
 
     Prior to 1996, the Company incurred significant financial reporting and tax
losses primarily as a result of substantial depreciation, amortization and
interest expenses associated with acquiring and developing its cellular markets
and substantial marketing and other operating costs associated with building its
subscriber base. Although substantial net deferred income tax assets were
generated during these periods, a valuation allowance was established because in
management's assessment the historical operating results made it uncertain
whether the net deferred income tax assets would be realized.
     Since inception, the Company has steadily increased its subscriber base and
improved its revenues and operating results at rates consistent with
management's annual internal forecasts. For example, its reported operating
results have improved from an $8.1 million loss from operations in 1992 to $53.9
million of income from operations in 1996. Similarly, pretax results (before
extraordinary items) reflect earnings of $2.3 million in 1996 compared to losses
of $7.0 million and $13.9 million in 1995 and 1994, respectively. Improvements
in the Company's reported taxable income have generally lagged the financial
reporting results; however, this gap is expected to narrow in future periods as
a result of management tax planning and the expected timing of capital
expenditures.

Note 6 -- INCOME TAXES -- Continued
     The Company achieved profitability in 1996 for financial reporting
purposes, and management expects improvements in operating results in 1997 and
future periods. Although the Company's ongoing operations have generated Federal
taxable losses since inception, it expects taxable income in 1997 and future
periods. The Company's ability to achieve these expected future financial
reporting and income tax results is dependent on numerous factors, including
general economic conditions, the level of competition from PCS and other service
providers and other factors beyond management's control. Therefore, there can be
no assurance that the Company will achieve improvements in its results of
operations.
     In assessing the realizability of the Company's net deferred income tax
assets at December 31, 1996, management considered its historical operating
trends in relation to management expectations of those results, forecasts of
future taxable income and the risks and uncertainties discussed above. Because
of these risks and uncertainties, management concluded that forecasts could be
made with enough certainty to recognize net deferred income tax assets only over
a relatively short-term period. Based upon this analysis, management concluded
that it is "more likely than not" that $5.0 million of its $104.2 million of net
deferred income tax assets at December 31,1996 will be realized. A valuation
allowance of $99.2 million has been provided for the remainder of the Company's
net deferred income tax assets. The Company will continue to assess the
recognition of additional net deferred income tax assets based on its ongoing
evaluation of its actual performance and ability to estimate future performance.
     The unrecognized portion of the Company's net deferred income tax assets at
December 31, 1996 includes deferred income tax assets totaling $41.5 million
relating to the net unrealized holding loss on the investment in Geotek and to
additional income tax deductions arising from restricted stock bonuses, stock
options and stock purchase warrants. To the extent the tax benefit of these
amounts is realized in future years, the benefit will be recorded as a direct
addition to shareholders' equity.
     The Company's 1996 income tax benefit of $4.1 million includes a current
provision of $891,000 for Federal alternative minimum taxes offset by the
deferred income tax benefit discussed above. In 1995 and 1994, the Company
reported no Federal income tax provision because of the reported losses for
financial reporting and income tax purposes. State income tax planning
strategies have been implemented such that no state income tax provision has
been required for any period.
     A reconciliation between income taxes computed at the statutory Federal
rate of 35% and the reported income tax benefit is as follows (in thousands):

     In 1996 and 1995, the Company executed certain tax planning strategies that
had the effect of increasing the total net deferred income tax assets. These
transactions generally resulted in the current utilization of net operating loss
carryforwards in exchange for the creation of income tax basis that will be
deductible in future periods. The realizability of these additional net deferred
tax amounts was evaluated by the Company in the manner discussed above.
     The net unrealized holding losses on the investment in Geotek and the
additional income tax deductions arising from the exercise of stock options
created additional net deferred income tax assets of $10.4 million in 1995. The
1996 change in the unrealized holding loss reduced net deferred income tax
assets by $818,000. The valuation allowance has been adjusted to fully offset
these changes in the net deferred income tax asset.
     For Federal income tax reporting purposes, the Company had net operating
loss carryforwards of approximately $315 million at December 31, 1996. These
losses may be used to reduce future taxable income, if any, and expire through
2010.

Note 6 -- INCOME TAXES -- Continued
The primary differences between the accumulated deficit for financial reporting
purposes and the income tax loss carryforwards relate to the differences in the
treatment of certain deferred cellular license acquisition costs, certain gains
on dispositions of cellular interests, partnership losses, depreciation methods,
estimated useful lives and compensation earned under the stock compensation
plan. These carryforwards may be subject to annual limitation in the future in
accordance with the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and the ability to use these
carryforwards could be significantly impacted by a future "change of control" of
the Company. The limitations, if any, arising from such future "change in
control" cannot be known at this time.
Note 7 -- CAPITAL STOCK
COMMON STOCK
     In July 1994, the Board of Directors declared a 3 for 2 stock split of the
Company's Class A common stock which was effected in the form of a dividend paid
to shareholders of record on August 24, 1994 with cash paid for resultant
fractional shares. The effect of the split has been retroactively applied to all
Class A common stock and per share amounts disclosed in the accompanying
financial statements and footnotes.
ACQUISITION OF CELLULAR INTERESTS
     The Company has registered 4,500,000 shares of its Class A common stock and
3,000,000 shares of its Class B common stock. The shares may be offered in
connection with the acquisition of entities which have received or may receive
an authorization or license from the FCC to provide cellular service. Through
December 31, 1996, 2,707,957 of these registered shares of Class A common stock
have been issued in conjunction with the acquisition of cellular markets.
STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
     During 1994, the Board adopted the 1994 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 1994
Plan). Under the provisions of the 1994 Plan, the Company may grant up to
3,000,000 shares of the Company's Class A common stock to officers, directors
and key employees in the form of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock
options, stock appreciation rights, unrestricted stock, restricted stock and
performance shares. All stock options must require exercise prices of not less
than the fair market value of the Company's Class A common stock on the date of
the grant, except that certain incentive stock options must require exercise
prices of not less than 110% of fair market value of the Company's Class A
common stock on the date of the grant. Options granted under the 1994 Plan may
not have a term greater than ten years from the date of grant and are not
transferable except upon death. As of December 31, 1996, 21,575 shares were
available for future grants.
     Upon adoption of the 1994 Plan, the Company's previously adopted stock
option and stock compensation plans were terminated. Options granted and
outstanding under these previous plans are still exercisable, but no further
grants may be made under these plans.
RESTRICTED STOCK BONUSES
     During 1987, the Board granted restricted stock bonuses for a total of
3,469,554 shares of Class A common stock (i) to three key officers for 1,077,768
shares each and (ii) to a director and a key employee for an aggregate of
236,250 shares. In the event of a change in control of the Company prior to
December 31, 1998, the participants will be reimbursed for certain individual
income tax payments, as defined, on the shares vesting after February 1991. As
of December 31, 1996, all of the shares have vested.
STOCK OPTIONS
     Under the terms of the Company's previous and current stock compensation
plans, the Board has granted incentive stock options and nonqualified stock
options requiring exercise prices approximating the fair market value of the
Company's Class A common stock on the date of the grant.
     In January 1997, the Board of Directors authorized the cancellation of
certain options with higher exercise prices and the reissuance of fewer options
at a lower exercise price. Options for 896,000 shares with exercise prices
ranging from $24.75 to

$25.125 were canceled and new options for 717,200 shares with an exercise price
of $15.69 were issued. In addition, options for 1,403,750 shares with an
exercise price ranging from $21.50 and $21.625 were canceled and new options for
1,263,375 shares with an exercise price of $15.69 were issued. The exercise
price for all of these new options reflects the fair market value at the time of
issuance.
     Stock option activity under the plans was as follows:

the total outstanding options at December 31, 1996 have an exercise price in the
range of $21.50 and $25.13 with a weighted-average exercise price of $22.94 and
a weighted-average contractual life of 8.2 years. 10,000 of those options are
exercisable at December 31, 1996. The remaining 15,000 options have an exercise
price of $2.22 and a one year remaining contractual life. All of those options
are exercisable at December 31, 1996.
     In October 1995, SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation"
was issued. SFAS No. 123 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1995. SFAS No. 123 encourages companies to adopt the fair value method for
compensation expense recognition related to employee stock options. Existing
accounting requirements of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB No.
25") use the intrinsic value method in determining compensation expense which
represents the excess of the market price of the stock over the exercise price
on the measurement date. The Company elected to remain under the APB No. 25
rules for stock options, and is required to provide pro forma disclosures of
what net income and earnings per share would have been had the Company adopted
the new fair value method for recognition purposes. The following information is
presented as if the Company had adopted SFAS No. 123 and restated its results

6.0% to 6.6% and 6.5% to 7.4%, expected volatility of 35% and 30%, and expected
lives of 7 years in both years. The weighted-average grant date fair value of
options granted during 1996 and 1995 was $9.19 and $12.45, respectively.
     Because the SFAS No. 123 method of accounting has not been applied to
options granted prior to January 1, 1995, the above pro forma amounts may not be
representative of the compensation costs to be expected in future years.
SHARES RESERVED FOR ISSUANCE
     At December 31, 1996, 5,222,962 shares of the Company's Class A common
stock are reserved for exercise and grant under the Company's stock compensation
plans. In addition, 1,792,043 shares of Class A common stock and 3,000,000
shares of Class B common stock are reserved for issuance in conjunction with the
acquisition of cellular interests discussed above.
SHARE REPURCHASE
     On November 11, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
repurchase of up to 2,500,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock from time to
time in open market or other transactions. As of December 31, 1996 the Company
had repurchased 255,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock at an average price
of approximately $17.00.

Note 9 -- DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
     The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each category of financial instruments for which it is practicable to
estimate that value:
     CELLULAR ENTITIES CARRIED ON THE COST METHOD -- The fair value of these
instruments is estimated based upon recent transactions from this portfolio.
     INVESTMENT IN GEOTEK -- The fair value of publicly-traded securities is
based upon quoted market price. The fair value of the remaining securities
approximates the carrying value.
     INTER(BULLET)ACT DEBENTURES AND WARRANTS -- The fair value of the combined
investment in Inter(Bullet)Act debentures and warrants is based upon the quoted
market price.
     INTEREST RATE PROTECTION AGREEMENTS -- The fair value of interest rate cap
and swap agreements is based on quoted market prices as if the agreements were
entered into on the measurement date.
     BORROWINGS UNDER CREDIT FACILITY -- The fair value of the borrowings under
the VCFC Credit Facility approximates the carrying value.
     VANGUARD SENIOR DEBENTURES -- The fair value of the Vanguard Senior
Debentures is based upon quoted market price.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Vanguard Cellular Systems, Inc.:
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vanguard
Cellular Systems, Inc. (a North Carolina corporation) and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements and
schedules 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 Vanguard Cellular Systems,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
     Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedules listed in the index to
consolidated financial statements and schedules are presented for purposes of
complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and are not part
of the basic financial statements. The schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, fairly state in all material respects the financial data
required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

        SCHEDULE I -- CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE REGISTRANT
                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. PRESENTATION
     These condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although
the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading.
2. ORGANIZATION
     Vanguard Cellular Systems, Inc. ("Vanguard") is a holding company which is
the 100% shareholder of Vanguard Cellular Financial Corp. ("VCFC"). This
organization was created in April 1996 to structurally subordinate Vanguard's
$200 million in Senior Debentures to VCFC's Credit Facility. Prior to that time,
operations of the Company were conducted by Vanguard. For purposes of this
condensed financial information, the reorganization has been treated in a manner
similar to a pooling-of-interests. As a result, this condensed financial
information has been prepared as if Vanguard were a holding company in all
periods.
3. LONG-TERM DEBT
     On April 10, 1996, Vanguard issued $200 million aggregate principal amount
of 9 3/8% Senior Debentures due 2006 (the "Debentures") through an underwritten
public offering. The Debentures were issued at a price to the public of 99.901
for a yield of 9.384%. The net proceeds from the sale of the Debentures of
approximately $194.8 million were contributed to VCFC primarily to reduce
borrowings under the VCFC Credit Facility and were used by Vanguard to pay other
expenses. The VCFC Credit Facility was amended to permit issuance of the
Debentures and require the structural subordination of the Debentures by making
VCFC the primary obligor of the Credit Facility and all liabilities of Vanguard
(other than the Debentures) and the owner of all stock and partnership interests
of Vanguard's operating subsidiaries. The Debentures mature in 2006 and are
redeemable at Vanguard's option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after
April 15, 2001. There are no mandatory sinking fund payments for the Debentures.
Interest is payable semi-annually. Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event (as
defined in the Indenture for the Debentures), Vanguard will be required to make
an offer to purchase the Debentures at a purchase price equal to 101% of the
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date
of purchase.
     The Debentures require that Vanguard and its subsidiaries limit, among
other things, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the payments of
dividends or the repurchase of Capital Stock, certain distributions and
transfers, and certain asset sales.

                       INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors

International Wireless Communications Holdings, Inc.:

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of 
International Wireless Communications Holdings, Inc. and subsidiary ("IWC 
Holdings") as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the related consolidated 
statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for 
each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996. These 
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of IWC Holdings' 
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 
financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial 
statements of PT Rajasa Hazanah Perkasa ("RHP"), an investment which is 
reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements using the 
equity method of accounting as of and for the years ended December 31, 1995 
and 1996 (see Note 5). The investment in this company represents 25% and 17% 
of consolidated assets as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The 
equity in its net loss was approximately $1,310,000 and $4,746,000 for the 
years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Those statements were 
audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us and our 
opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for that company, is 
based on the report of other auditors. 

        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. 

        In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of other auditors 
for 1995 and 1996, the consolidated financial statements referred to above 
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of IWC 
Holdings as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the results of their 
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year 
period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
PT RAJASA HAZANAH PERKASA AND SUBSIDIARY


        We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of PT Rajasa Hazanah 
Perkasa and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the related 
consolidated statements of income and deficit and cash flows for the years 
then ended (not presented separately herein).  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 audit in accordance with auditing standards 
established by the Indonesian Institute of Accountants, which are 
substantially similar to the generally accepted auditing standards in the 
United States of America.  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 
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to 
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PT 
Rajasa Hazanah Perkasa and its subsidiary as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, 
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then 
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the 
Republic of Indonesia.

        Generally accepted accounting principles in Indonesia vary in certain 
respects with those in the United States of America.  A description of the 
significant differences between those two generally accepted accounting 
principles and the approximate effects of those differences on net income and 
stockholders' equity are set forth in Notes 22 and 23 to the consolidated 
financial statements (not presented separately herein).

    INTERNATIONAL WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1996
                                                                   
(1) NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF BUSINESS

        International Wireless Communications Holdings, Inc. ("IWC Holdings") 
was incorporated in Delaware in July 1996 as a holding company whose primary 
assets are all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of International 
Wireless Communications, Inc. ("IWC" or "the Company") and a note receivable 
from IWC in a principal amount equal to the net proceeds from the Debt 
Offering (see Note 9).  IWC was incorporated in Delaware in January 1992 and 
develops, owns and operates wireless communications companies in emerging 
markets in Asia and Latin America.  These local wireless businesses ("LWBs") 
provide a variety of communications services, including enhanced capacity 
trunked radio ("ECTR"), wireless local loop ("WLL"), cellular and paging.  
Together with local and strategic partners, IWC has interests in Brazil, 
China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Pakistan, Peru, and 
the Philippines. 

        The Company's operations to date have principally been in the early 
stage development of LWBs.  In addition, the Company intends to pursue 
aggressively additional investment opportunities.  The Company's existing 
cash balance is sufficient to meet its operating and contractual obligations 
for the next fiscal year.  It is not sufficient, however, to meet the 
Company's business objective of participation in additional equity rounds to 
finance the infrastructure buildout of its operating and nonoperating LWBs.  
The ability of the Company to make additional investments is dependent on 
available external financing.  In the event the Company is unable to obtain 
external financing it may ultimately be unable to either maintain its 
existing ownership interests or fully realize the underlying LWBs potential.

        Subsequent to the formation of IWC Holdings, IWC Holdings and IWC 
completed a reorganization in which IWC became a wholly owned subsidiary of 
IWC Holdings through the conversion of each share of the then outstanding 
capital stock of IWC into forty shares of the corresponding class and series 
of stock of IWC Holdings (the "Stock Conversion"). All data related to shares 
and per share amounts for all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect 
the effect of the reorganization and the Stock Conversion.

        Consistent with industry practice, the Company considers itself to be 
operating in one business segment. 

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the 
accounts of IWC, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Servicos de Radio 
Comunicacoes Ltda. ("SRC"), TeamTalk Limited ("TeamTalk"), New Zealand 
Wireless Limited ("New Zealand Wireless"), International Wireless 
Communications Asia Holdings, B.V. ("IWC Asia") and International Wireless 
Communications Latin America Holdings, Limited ("IWC Latin America"), and 
four majority owned subsidiaries, M/S Mobilcom (Pte) Ltd. ("Mobilcom 
Pakistan"), PeruTel S.A. ("PeruTel"), Star Telecom Overseas (Cayman Islands) 
Limited ("STOL"), and Promociones Telefonicas S.A. ("Protelsa").  In February 
1996, the Company, through a joint venture agreement, entered into a wireless 
data business and established Wireless Data Services, Ltd. ("WDS").  This 
entity, although 50% owned by the Company, has also been consolidated in the 
accompanying consolidated financial statements. Effective April 30, 1996, the 
Company acquired the remaining 50% interest of TeamTalk, and as such, the 
accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996 also includes 
the accounts of TeamTalk.  The consolidated statement of operations for the 
year ended December 31, 1996 also includes the accounts of the now wholly 
owned TeamTalk subsidiary since April 30, 1996, the effective date of the 
acquisition (see Note 5).  Prior to May 1, 1996, the consolidated financial 
statements reflect TeamTalk as an investment accounted for under the equity 
method.  In August 1996, IWC acquired a 70% interest in STOL, and as such, 
the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996 also 
includes the accounts of STOL.  The consolidated statement of operations for 
the year ended December 31, 1996 also includes the accounts of STOL since the 
date of acquisition.   In December 1996, IWC acquired a 66% interest in 
Protelsa, and as such, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of 
December 31, 1996 also includes the accounts of Protelsa.  The consolidated 
statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 also includes 
the accounts of Protelsa since the date of acquisition.  All significant 
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 


                                 F-35

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

        The functional currency for the Company's foreign operating entities 
is the applicable local currency, except for those entities located in highly 
inflationary countries. Translation from the applicable foreign currencies to 
U.S. dollars is performed for monetary assets and liabilities using current 
exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and 
expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period. 
The gains or losses, net of applicable deferred income taxes, resulting from 
such translation, if material, are included in stockholders' equity. Gains or 
losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in other 
income. For non-operating foreign investees and for the Company's investee in 
Brazil, a highly inflationary country, the functional currency is the U.S. 
dollar. Remeasurement adjustments for foreign entities, where the U.S. dollar 
is the functional currency, and exchange gains and losses arising from 
transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, 
are included in other income and are not material in any of the years 
presented. 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

        Revenue includes primarily access and usage charges for subscriber 
units under service agreements with the Company's consolidated subsidiaries 
that have commenced operations.  The terms of these service agreements range 
from monthly to 36 month periods.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

        The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity 
of 90 days or less at the time of acquisition to be cash equivalents. 

        The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in 
Debt and Equity Securities" and has classified its investments in certain 
debt and equity securities as "available for sale".  Such investments are 
recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a 
separate component of stockholders' deficit.  The cost of securities sold is 
based upon the specific identification method.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

        Property and equipment are stated at original cost. Depreciation is 
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 
the respective assets, generally three to five years for 
non-telecommunication equipment and ten years for telecommunication equipment.

INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATED COMPANIES

        Investments in affiliated companies consist of the costs incurred to 
acquire development stage projects or interests in entities that have been 
awarded telecommunication licenses to provide various wireless 
telecommunication services.

        The cost method of accounting is used for the Company's investments 
in affiliated companies where the Company's voting interest is less than 20% 
and the Company does not exert significant influence. Under the cost method, 
the investment is recorded at cost, and income is recognized only to the 
extent distributed by the investee as dividends. No such dividends were 
declared or distributed for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996. 
Write-downs to the recorded historical cost are recognized when the Company 
believes that a permanent impairment in value has occurred. 

        Where the Company's voting interest is 20% to 50% and the Company 
does not exercise control, the equity method of accounting is used. Under 
this method, the investment, originally recorded at cost, is adjusted to 
recognize the Company's share of net earnings or losses of the investee, 
limited, in the case of losses, to the extent of the Company's investment 
therein, and the amortization of telecommunication licenses and other 
intangibles, if any. The amount of the purchase price that exceeded the fair 
value of the Company's percentage ownership of the equity investee's tangible 
assets at the date of acquisition reflects the existence of intangible assets 
of the equity investee. The primary intangible asset of each equity investee 
consists of the equity investee's telecommunication licenses or rights to 
participate in such licenses. Amounts attributable to other intangibles, such 
as workforce, customer lists, and agreements with local 


                                 F-36
<PAGE>

companies for transmitter and antenna locations, are not material. 
Accordingly, the Company has accounted for the excess purchase price as 
attributable to primarily telecommunication licenses and participation rights 
and amortizes such intangibles generally over a period of 20 years. To the 
extent that goodwill exists, the Company believes that the difference in 
amortization lives between telecommunication licenses and goodwill would not 
have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. In some 
cases, the terms of the licenses held by the equity investees are less than 
twenty years. However, the Company believes that it will be able to renew the 
licenses indefinitely if it builds out the infrastructure and establishes 
commercial service. The costs of license renewal are expected to be nominal. 

        The Company consolidates entities it controls, generally through 
greater than 50% ownership interest. 

TELECOMMUNICATION LICENSES AND OTHER INTANGIBLES

        The Company has acquired majority ownership interest in various LWBs. 
These acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method and are 
included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The amount of 
the purchase price that exceeded the underlying fair value of the Company's 
pro rata ownership in the LWB's net tangible assets at the date of 
acquisition represents the level of intangible assets of the LWB. The primary 
intangible asset of each LWB consists of the LWB's telecommunication licenses 
or rights to participate in such licenses. Given the early stage nature of 
the acquired entities, amounts attributable to other intangibles, such as 
workforce, customer lists, and agreements with local companies for 
transmitter and antenna locations, are not deemed material. Accordingly, the 
Company has accounted for the excess purchase price as attributable primarily 
to telecommunication licenses and participation rights. To the extent that 
goodwill exists, the Company believes that the difference in amortization 
lives between licenses and goodwill would not have a material effect on the 
accompanying financial statements. Licenses are amortized generally over a 
period of 20 years, commencing upon the date of completion of the 
acquisition. In some cases, the terms of the licenses held by the LWB's are 
less than twenty years. However, the Company believes that it will be able to 
renew the licenses indefinitely if it builds out the infrastructure and 
establishes commercial service. The costs of license renewal are expected to 
be nominal. Amortization expense was approximately $40,000, $294,000, and 
$1,103,000 for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, 
respectively. 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

        The Company uses the intrinsic value-based method of Accounting 
Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25 to account for all of its employee 
stock-based compensation plans.

INCOME TAXES

        Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax 
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement 
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax 
bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets 
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to 
taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected 
to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities 
of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes 
the enactment date. 

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 expenses during the reporting period.  
Actual results could differ from these estimates. 

BUSINESS AND CREDIT CONCENTRATIONS AND RISK FACTORS

        Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to 
concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents. The 
Company's investments are comprised of investment grade short-term debt 
instruments. Management believes that the financial risks associated with 
such deposits are minimal. 


                                 F-37
<PAGE>

        Included in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of December 
31, 1995 and 1996, are long-term investments in various LWBs in such 
developing countries as Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, 
New Zealand, Peru, and the Philippines (see Note 14). These investments make 
up a significant portion of IWC's balance sheet (see Note 5). 

        Each IWC affiliate has a unique and distinct market, operating 
environment, and local economy with different subscription rates and costs to 
build and operate the systems. Achieving each operating plan is dependent 
upon successfully contending not only with normal risks associated with 
constructing and operating wireless properties, but also risks unique to 
operating in foreign emerging countries, such as regulatory compliance, 
contractual restrictions, labor laws, expropriation, nationalization, 
political, economic or social instability, and confiscatory taxation. 

        The Company anticipates that it will often have a minority interest 
in operating companies, in part because applicable laws often limit foreign 
investors to minority equity positions. As such, the Company may be unable to 
access the cash flow, if any, of its operating companies. Additionally, the 
Company's ability to sell or transfer its ownership interest in its operating 
companies is generally subject to limitations based on agreements with its 
strategic and financial partners, as well as provisions in local operating 
licenses and local government regulations that may prohibit or restrict the 
transfer of the Company's ownership interest in such operating companies. 

        The Company's ability to retain and exploit its existing 
telecommunication licenses, and to obtain new licenses in the future, is 
essential to the Company's operations. However, these licenses are typically 
granted by governmental agencies in developing countries, and there can be no 
assurance that these governmental agencies will not seek to unilaterally 
limit, revoke, or otherwise adversely modify the terms of these licenses in 
the future, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company, 
and the Company may have limited or no legal recourse if any of these events 
were to occur. In addition, licenses typically require renewal from time to 
time and there can be no assurance that renewals to these licenses will be 
granted. 

        Most of the LWBs currently operating have incurred operating losses 
and negative cash flow from operations since inception, and the Company 
expects that most of its operating companies will continue to generate 
operating losses and negative cash flow from operations for the foreseeable 
future and accordingly, the Company expects its losses to increase. Most of 
these operating companies have only recently initiated providing commercial 
services and have a limited subscriber base. This is not uncommon in the 
wireless telecommunications industry, which requires significant capital 
investments in the initial years prior to obtaining a sufficient subscriber 
revenue base to support operations. Achievement of positive cash flow from 
operations will depend on successful execution of management's business 
plans. Those plans assume significant additional capital investment, in some 
cases, to expand the wireless network. There can be no assurance that such 
funding capacity will be available in the future. 

RECOVERABILITY OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 
121 ("SFAS 121"), ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR 
LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF, the Company reviews for the impairment 
of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or 
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may 
not be recoverable.  Under SFAS 121, an impairment loss would be recognized 
when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset 
and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount.  In 1996, the 
Company wrote off its investments in HFCL Mobile Radio, Ltd. ("HFCL") and PT 
Binamulti Visualindo ("PTBV") of $320,000 and $205,000, respectively, based 
on management's decisions to no longer pursue such projects.

        The recoverability of property and equipment, investments in equity 
and cost investee companies is dependent upon the successful build-out of 
system infrastructure, obtaining additional licenses by investee companies,

(4) INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATE HELD FOR SALE

       In June 1996, the Company entered into a put-call agreement (the 
Agreement) with various other shareholders of Corporacion Mobilcom, S.A. de 
C.V. ("Mobilcom Mexico") with the intention of selling its entire 2.23% 
shareholding of Mobilcom Mexico to one of the other shareholders of Mobilcom 
Mexico.  The sale of the Company's investment will be triggered by any one of 
a variety of put events (as defined) in the Agreement, the earliest of which 
will occur on October 24, 1997, which is one year after the effective date of 
the Agreement.  The Company carries this investment at its historical cost of 
$2,062,000.  The Company anticipates that the sale price of this investment 
will exceed its historical cost.

(5) INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES

       The Company's investments in affiliates represent interests in various 
LWBs in several developing countries. These investments are accounted for 
under the equity or cost methods of accounting. 

EQUITY INVESTMENTS

       For those investments in companies in which the Company's voting 
interest is 20% to 50%, or for investments in companies in which the Company 
exerts significant influence through board representation and management 
authority even if its ownership is less than 20%, the equity method of 
accounting is used. Under this method, the investment, originally recorded at 
cost, is adjusted to recognize the Company's share of losses of affiliates, 
limited to the extent of the Company's investment in and advances to 
affiliates, including any debt guarantees or other contractual funding 
commitments. All affiliated companies have fiscal years ended December 31. 
Investments in affiliated companies are as follows as of December 31, 1995 
and 1996 (dollars in thousands):

(1)  The Company, along with other STW shareholders, agreed to provide 
     certain support in connection with a Malaysian Ringgit 91,000,000 
     (approximately $35,968,000) senior credit facility obtained by STW 
     from a Malaysian bank (see Note 13).

        The Company acquired its interest in RHP, HFCL, and PTBV during 1995 
and accounted for them using the purchase method. 
        
        In June 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with the other 
50% owner of TeamTalk to acquire their 1,700,000 shares of TeamTalk's common 
stock, as well as to assume TeamTalk's indebtedness to the shareholder 
totaling $3,022,000, for a purchase price of approximately $3,198,000.  The 
transaction was accounted for by the purchase method effective April 30, 
1996, with the majority of the purchase price paid in July 1996.  As of 
December 31, 1996, TeamTalk is consolidated into the financial statements of 
the Company as a wholly owned subsidiary.  In connection with the incremental 
investment, the Company reclassified the associated unamortized portion of 
investment exceeding the Company's share of underlying historical net assets 
to telecommunication licenses and other intangibles.  The fair value of the 
assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in connection with the 
acquisition were $8,327,000 and $3,584,000, respectively.

        In September 1996, IWC entered into a subscription agreement (the 
"SDL Subscription Agreement") with Star Telecom Holding Limited ("STHL"), the 
Company's partner in STOL, to purchase a 40% equity interest in SDL for an 
aggregate purchase price of $20 million and accounted for by the purchase 
method.  Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, in September 1996, IWC also 
entered into an escrow agreement (the "SDL Escrow Agreement") and deposited, 
in escrow, $9 million of the $20 million purchase price.  In November 1996, 
in connection with the closing of the Company's acquisition of an equity 
interest in SDL, the $9,000,000 held in escrow pursuant to the SDL 
Subscription Agreement and the SDL Escrow Agreement was released to STHL, and 
the Company funded an additional $11,000,000 to acquire its 40% interest in 
SDL for an aggregate purchase price of $20,000,000 and assigned $11,000,000 
representing the amount of the purchase price that exceeded the fair value of 
the Company's percentage ownership of SDL's tangible net assets to 
participation rights in SDL's underlying projects.

        In October 1996, the Company paid $8,556,000 to increase its interest 
in RHP to 29.2% and accounted for this additional acquisition using the 
purchase method.  The Company assigned the entire amount of the purchase 
price to the telecommunication license as the purchase price exceeded the 
fair value of the Company's percentage ownership of RHP's tangible net assets 
in full at the date of purchase.  In December 1996, Nissho Iwai International 
(Singapore) Pte. Ltd. Purchased 3% of RHP, diluting the Company's ownership 
interest in RHP down to 28.3%.

        In October 1996, the Company paid $1,000,000 for an option to 
purchase 50% of Laranda Sdn Bhd, a 10% shareholder of STW, for an exercise 
price of $7,200,000 and certain other contractual rights.  The Company, at 
its discretion, allowed the option to lapse on November 6, 1996 and 
subsequently expensed the entire $1,000,000, which is classified as other 
expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

        The following condensed financial statement data, presented in 
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and stated in 
U.S. dollars for significant affiliated companies accounted for by the equity 
method, has been derived from audited financial statements. The financial

by other auditors.  This information is as follows (in thousands):

     and net loss for the period from January 1, 1995 through March 27, 1995 
     were $1,821,000 and $387,000, respectively.

     the Company.  Net revenues and net loss for the period from January 1, 
     1996 through April 30, 1996 were $282,000 and $645,000, respectively.

COST INVESTMENTS

        The Company uses the cost method of accounting for two other 
investments as of December 31, 1996. They are PT Mobilkom Telekomindo 
("Mobilkom") and RPG Paging Services Limited ("RPSL"), the latter of which 
the Company acquired in August 1996 as part of IWC's acquisition of STOL. As 
of December 31, 1996, the Company's indirect ownership percentages in these 
entities are 15% and 7%, respectively. Both are operating entities. 

        Prior to September 25, 1996, the Company accounted for UTS as a cost 
investment.  On September 25, 1996, the Company increased its ownership 
interest to 19%, excluding its 3% incentive option, and as such, changed its 
method of accounting to the equity method, as the Company felt it commenced 
to exert significant influence.  It is anticipated that the Company will 
further increase its ownership percentage in the future.

        The Company's carrying value of these investments as of December 31 
are as follows (in thousands): 

                                               1995          1996

        The Company considers these investments to be long-term in nature and 
are not held for trading purposes. During 1996, the Company decided to offer 
Mobilcom Mexico for sale and has reclassified this investment as a current 
asset (see Note 4).

        The following unaudited pro forma summary combines the consolidated 
results of operations of the Company as if (i) TeamTalk had been a wholly 
owned consolidated subsidiary since January 1, 1995, (ii) ownership in STW 
and RHP had been 30% and 28.3%, respectively, since January 1, 1995, (iii) 
the merger with Vanguard International Telecommunications, Inc. ("VIT"), a 
wholly owned subsidiary of Vanguard (see Note 6) had occurred on January 1, 
1995,  (iv) the acquisition of STOL had occurred at January 1, 1995, (v) the 
acquisition of SDL had occurred at January 1, 1995, and (vi) the acquisition 
of Protelsa had occurred at January 1, 1995.

(6) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

ADVANCES TO AFFILIATES

        The advances to affiliate as of December 31, 1995 represented 
advances to TeamTalk in the amount of $728,000. As a result of the 
acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in TeamTalk, the Company eliminates 
advances to TeamTalk in consolidation.

        In January 1996, the Company advanced Philippine Peso 2,612,000 or 
approximately $99,000 to UTS.  The advance is interest-free with no stated 
terms.  Management believes the advance will be repaid during 1997. 

NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM AFFILIATES

        Notes receivable from affiliates as of December 31, 1995, consisted 
primarily of a note due from Mobilcom Mexico for $158,000, which earns 
interest at 6% per annum; and an interest-free note due from RHP for 
$128,000. 

        Notes receivable from affiliates as of December 31, 1996, consisted 
primarily of the note due from Mobilcom Mexico for $158,000, plus cumulative 
accrued interest of $20,000; and a series of interest-free promissory notes 
loaned to PT Mobile Selular Indonesia ("Mobisel"), an entity which the 
Company indirectly owns 19.8% through its investment in RHP, totaling 
$635,000.   In April 1997, the Company collected the $635,000 note receivable 
from Mobisel.  The Company expects to collect the note receivable from 
Mobilcom Mexico during 1997.

NOTES PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTY

        Notes payable to a related party as of December 31, 1995, consisted 
of two notes payable to Vanguard Cellular Operating Corp. ("Vanguard"), the 
Company's largest stockholder, each in the amount of $900,000 plus accrued 
interest and bearing interest at 9% compounded annually. The notes were due 
on the earlier of April 26, 1996 or the close of an initial public offering. 
On April 26, 1996, these notes, plus $252,000 of accrued interest, were 
converted into 274,800 shares of the Company's Series D Redeemable 
Convertible Preferred Stock. 

VANGUARD MERGER

        On December 18, 1995, the Company merged with Vanguard International 
Telecommunications, Inc. ("VIT") (See Note 11), a wholly owned subsidiary of 
Vanguard. Prior to this merger, Vanguard owned 10.46% of the Company and 
provided a variety of services relating to the formation, development and 
operation of the Company's wireless communication businesses. In exchange for 
3,972,240 shares of Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock with a 
liquidation preference of $6.29 per share, the Company acquired VIT's 
interests in TeamTalk and VIT's rights to acquire an interest in various 
international LWBs. The liquidation value was equal to the fair market value 
of the Series E preferred stock on the date of the merger. The resulting 
total value of $25,000,000, was allocated to the various LWBs based on their 
respective stage of development and an independent valuation study of the 
LWBs. As a result of this merger, Vanguard increased its ownership position 
to approximately 36% and continues to provide the services described above. 
The original cost to Vanguard of the net assets acquired by IWC in the merger 
was approximately $550,000. The value of these assets, however, appreciated 
significantly over time as licenses were subsequently granted, joint ventures 
and other strategic alliances formed and business plans developed. 



                                     F-45
<PAGE>

        The excess of the allocated portion of the merger value to TeamTalk 
over the net book value of TeamTalk was attributed to telecommunication 
licenses and other intangibles. This excess amounted to $1,712,000 and is 
amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years. 

        The Company also acquired VIT's rights to participate in RHP, SRC, 
Mobilcom, HFCL and PTBV and other yet to be developed projects. Approximately 
$23,288,000 in aggregate was allocated to telecommunication licenses and 
other intangibles in the LWBs based on their relative stage of development. 
These amounts are amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years. 

REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

        On July 26, 1996, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the 
"1996 TD Loan Agreement") with Toronto Dominion (Texas), Inc., an affiliate 
of Toronto Dominion Capital (U.S.A.), Inc., a stockholder of the Company, 
providing for a $10.0 million revolving credit facility. Subject to the terms 
and conditions of the 1996 TD Loan Agreement, IWC was able to borrow funds in 
an initial amount of at least $2,000,000 and additional amounts in multiples 
of at least $1,000,000. All borrowings were evidenced by a promissory note 
bearing interest at a specified base rate plus a margin increasing from 2.25% 
to 3.75% over the term of the facility or a specified LIBOR rate plus a 
margin increasing from 3.5% to 5.0% over the term of the facility and were 
due in July 1997, subject to mandatory repayment, without premium, from the 
net proceeds from any public or private sale of debt or equity securities, 
the net proceeds from certain asset sales by the Company or its subsidiaries, 
or certain other events. The obligations of the Company under the 1996 TD 
Loan Agreement and the note issued pursuant thereto were secured by a pledge 
by the Company of all capital stock of the Company's subsidiaries and 
affiliates. On July 26, 1996, IWC borrowed $7,000,000 under the 1996 TD Loan 
Agreement. On August 15, 1996, this amount, plus interest and fees, was 
repaid in full with the proceeds from the Debt Offering (see Note 9). 

OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        The Company has entered into arrangements with certain of the 
operating companies whereby the Company is reimbursed for direct costs, 
primarily salary and out-of-pocket costs, associated with technical, 
financial and administrative support provided by the Company. These amounts 
have been recorded as an offset to general and administrative expenses on the 
accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended 
December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, expense reimbursements were not material. 

(7) NOTE RECEIVABLE

        On June 6, 1996, the Company loaned $3,080,000 to a co-shareholder of 
Mobilcom Mexico, a trunked radio services operator in Mexico. The loan, in 
the form of a promissory note, accrues interest at 13% per annum and is due 
upon written demand by the Company. The Company believes that this loan may 
facilitate future strategic investments in projects in which this 
co-shareholder is involved. As of December 31, 1996, the co-shareholder had 
repaid $1,800,000 of the total amount loaned, bringing the remaining 
principal plus interest owed to $1,431,000.   In April 1997, the Company 
collected an additional $900,000 and expects to collect the remainder of the 
note receivable during 1997.

        In June 1996, the Company deposited $3,042,000 with a Taiwanese 
corporation that is pursuing telecommunication licenses in Taiwan. This 
deposit represents a 20% interest in a number of telecommunication license 
applications currently being pursued. During the application process, the 
deposit will be held in an interest-bearing escrow account in the name of 
IWC. Once a license is granted, the deposit will become the Company's initial 
capital contribution to the venture that is ultimately formed. If the 
Taiwanese corporation is unsuccessful in securing these applications, the 
Company's deposit, less its pro rata share of application related expenses, 
will be returned to the Company. 

        In August 1996, the Company deposited $2,250,000 for a 10% interest 
in a Taiwan paging project.  Concurrently, STOL deposited $3,005,000 for a 
20% interest in the Taiwan Paging Project.  The total consolidated deposit is 
$5,255,000. Had a national paging license been granted to the project, the 
deposit would have become the Company's initial capital contribution to the 
venture that would ultimately have been formed to pursue the paging

<PAGE>

business in Taiwan. In early February 1997 it was announced, that this bid 
was unsuccessful, and the Company and STOL are expecting their deposits to be 
returned during 1997.  The Company has, therefore, classified these deposits 
as a current asset.

(9) LONG-TERM DEBT AND DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS

        In August 1996, the Company issued 196,720 units, each consisting of 
a $1,000 principal amount 14% Senior Secured Discount Note due 2001 (a "Note" 
and, collectively, the "Notes") and one warrant to purchase 11.638 shares of 
common stock, $0.01 par value, for total gross proceeds of $100 million (the 
"Debt Offering"). Net proceeds, after repayment of $7.4 million, including 
interest and fees, borrowed under the 1996 TD Loan Agreement (see Note 6) and 
other offering expenses, totaled $86,602,000. Of the $100 million gross 
proceeds, $30.3 million was allocated to additional paid-in capital as the 
fair value of the warrants issued in the Debt Offering. Long-term debt is 
presented net of unamortized discount of $121,254,000 on the accompanying 
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996. 

        The aggregate principal amount of the Notes is $196,720,000. The 
Notes are due on August 15, 2001 and bear interest at an effective interest 
rate of 22.05%, compounded semi-annually. There are no scheduled cash 
interest payments on the Notes. The Notes are senior secured obligations of 
the Company and will rank PARI PASSU in right of payment with all existing 
and future senior indebtedness of the Company and senior to all subordinated 
indebtedness of the Company. The Notes are effectively subordinated to all 
indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of the 
Company's subsidiaries and affiliated companies. The collateral securing the 
Notes consists of a pledge of all of the capital stock of the Company. 

        There are no sinking fund requirements with respect to the principal 
of or the interest on the Notes. Upon the occurrence of a change of control 
(as defined in the indenture governing the Notes), each holder of the Notes 
will have the option to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of 
such holder's Notes at 101% of the accreted value thereof to the date of 
repurchase. 

        In connection with the Debt Offering, the Company entered into the 
Indenture, which contains certain covenants that, among other things, limits 
the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates to incur 
additional indebtedness, limits the ability of the Company to merge, 
consolidate or sell substantially all of its assets; and limits the ability 
to make investments.  In addition, the Indenture prohibits making restricted 
payments (as defined) and creating certain liens (as defined) (see Note 16).

        The Indenture also contained a provision that in the event the 
Company does not complete an initial public offering ("IPO") of common stock 
on or prior to May 15, 1997, each unexercised warrant, issued in connection 
with the Debt Offering, will entitle the holder thereof to purchase an 
additional 2.645 shares of common stock.   The Company expects to issue such 
additional warrants as it does not expect to complete an IPO of its common 
stock prior to May 15, 1997 (see Note 16). 

        The costs related to the issuance of the long-term debt were 
capitalized and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective 
interest method over the life of the debt. Debt issuance costs are presented 
net of amortization of $369,000 on the accompanying consolidated balance 
sheet as of December 31, 1996. 

        In November 1996, the Company exchanged new 14% Senior Secured 
Discount Notes due 2001 (the "Exchange Notes") which were registered under 
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), for its outstanding 
Notes that were issued and sold in a transaction exempt from registration 
under the 1933 Act.  The terms of the Exchange Notes are substantially 
identical (including principal amount, interest rate, maturity, security and 
ranking) to the terms of the Notes.

(10) MINORITY INTEREST

        In February 1996, the Company formed WDS, a joint venture, to 
develop, install and support mobile data systems throughout the Pacific Rim.  
The Company has a 50% equity interest in WDS, and funded its operations on a 
pro rata basis for total equity funding during 1996 of $433,000. The Company 
anticipates that it will increase its equity interest in WDS in the future.


                                     F-47
<PAGE>

        In August 1996, the Company acquired a 70% equity interest in STOL 
for an aggregate purchase price of $13,500,000 which has been accounted for 
using the purchase method.  STOL holds a minority interest in a paging 
project in India (RPSL) and is currently pursuing additional paging 
opportunities in Indonesia, Thailand and Taiwan.  The Company's partner in 
STOL is STHL, the Company's partner in SDL. The Company allocated $3,965,000 
of the purchase price to participation rights.

        In December 1996, the Company paid $1,600,000 to acquire a 66% equity 
interest in Protelsa, which has been awarded a national license to provide 
paging services in Peru and accounted for the acquisition using the purchase 
method.  The Company allocated $1,557,000 of the purchase price to the 
telecommunication license.

        Minority shareholders' interests in the equity of WDS, STOL and 
Protelsa as of December 31, 1996 totaled approximately $198,000, $5,315,000 
and $172,000, respectively.

(11) REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK AND STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT

        The Company is authorized to issue 23,080,000 shares of preferred 
stock, of which 21,541,480 are designated redeemable convertible preferred 
stock, 1,200,000 are designated nonredeemable convertible preferred stock, 
338,520 are undesignated, and 26,000,000 shares of common stock, each with a 
par value of $0.01 per share. 

        Nonredeemable convertible preferred stock as of December 31, 1995 and 
1996, was comprised of 1,200,000 and 933,200 issued and outstanding shares of 
Series A preferred stock, respectively.  In August 1996, a stockholder of the 
Company converted 266,800 shares of Series A preferred stock into 266,800 
shares of common stock.  Series A preferred stock has a liquidation value per 
share of $.85 and an aggregate liquidation value of $793,000. 

        Redeemable convertible preferred stock as of December 31, 1996, was 
comprised of the following (in thousands except share and per share amounts):

                Each series of redeemable preferred stock is being accreted 
to its respective minimum redemption amount, which is equal to the 
liquidation value. 

        The rights, preferences, and privileges of the holders of preferred 
stock are as follows: 

        -       LIQUIDATION

                In the event of Company liquidation, holders of Series F 
        preferred stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in 
        preference to the holders of Series A, B, C, D and E preferred 
        stock ("Junior preferred stock") and common stock an amount per 
        share equal to the sum of (i) the product of (A) .50 multiplied by 
        (B) the liquidation value per share specified above, as adjusted, 
        and (ii) any declared but unpaid dividends thereon. Holders of 
        Series B, C, D and E preferred stock shall next be entitled to 
        receive an amount per share equal to the sum of (i) the product of 
        (A) .55 multiplied by (B) an amount per share of .9193, 2.223, 6.55 
        and 6.2938, respectively, as adjusted and (ii) any declared but 
        unpaid dividends thereon. Holders of the Junior preferred stock and 
        Series F preferred stock shall next be entitled to receive the 
        product of (1) .50 multiplied by (2) an amount per share of .9193, 
        2.223, 6.55, 6.55 and 9.375, respectively, as adjusted. 


                                     F-48
<PAGE>

                Holders of the Series A preferred stock shall be entitled 
        to receive an amount per share equal to the liquidation value per 
        share specified above, as adjusted, plus any declared but unpaid 
        dividends thereon. After the distributions described above, and 
        after the distribution related to common stock described below, the 
        remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed among the 
        holders of the preferred stock and common stock pro rata assuming 
        full conversion of preferred stock into common stock. 

        -       DISTRIBUTIONS

                The holders of preferred stock are entitled to receive 
        noncumulative dividends at the same time and on the same basis as 
        holders of common stock when, and if, declared by the Board of 
        Directors. No dividends had been declared through December 31, 
        1996. 
        
        -       REDEMPTION

                Each share of Series B, C, D, E, and F preferred stock is 
        redeemable at any time on or after December 31, 1998, but within 45 
        days after the receipt by the Company of a written request from the 
        holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B, 
        C, D, E and F preferred stock. The Company shall redeem all such 
        shares by paying in cash a sum per share equal to the greater of 
        (1) the then fair market value of such share of preferred stock on 
        an as-converted basis, or (2) the redemption value of such share of 
        preferred stock (hereinafter referred to as the redemption price). 
        In the event the assets of the Company are insufficient to effect 
        such redemption in full, the shares of preferred stock not redeemed 
        shall remain outstanding and entitled to all the rights and 
        preferences provided herein. 

                In addition to the above redemption, at any time on or 
        after December 31, 2000, but within 45 days after the receipt by 
        the Company of a written request from the majority of the holders 
        of Series F preferred stock, the Company shall redeem all 
        outstanding shares of such stock by paying, in cash, an amount per 
        share equal to the redemption price of such stock. 

                Upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company 
        that is not approved by certain directors designated by the holders 
        of Series F preferred stock, then the holders of a majority of the 
        shares of Series F preferred stock then outstanding shall have the 
        right, by written demand to the Company, to require the Company to 
        redeem immediately all the shares of Series F preferred stock then 
        outstanding, at a price per share equal to the redemption price of 
        the Series F preferred stock. 

        -       CONVERSION AND VOTING RIGHTS

                Each share of preferred stock is convertible, at the option 
        of the holder, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable 
        shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the original 
        preferred stock issue price by the conversion price applicable to 
        such preferred share. The conversion price per share for each 
        series of preferred stock is equal to the preferred stock issue 
        price of the respective series of preferred stock, subject to 
        adjustment under certain circumstances. An automatic conversion 
        into common stock will occur in the event of a firm commitment 
        underwritten public offering of at least $13.10 per share, as 
        adjusted, and $8,000,000 in the aggregate. However, the Series F 
        preferred stock shall not automatically be converted in Common 
        Stock unless: (i) the underwritten public offering is consummated 
        on or prior to December 31, 1998, (ii) the public offering per 
        share is at least $18.75, as adjusted and (iii) the aggregate 
        offering price is not less than $25,000,000. 

                Each share of preferred stock has voting rights equal to 
        that of common stock on an "as if converted" basis. The holder of 
        Series E preferred stock is entitled to elect three directors to 
        the Company's Board of Directors, and, for so long as 20% of the 
        shares of Series F preferred stock remain outstanding, the holders 
        of Series F preferred stock are entitled to elect three directors. 
        As of December 31, 1996, the Company had 16,906,400 shares of 
        common stock reserved for the conversion of preferred stock.

        -       THE SERIES A AND B FINANCINGS

                In January 1994, each share of then outstanding common 
        stock was converted to an equal number of shares of Series A 
        preferred stock. Concurrently, shares of Series A preferred stock 
        were converted into an equal number of shares of Series B preferred 
        stock.
        

        -       THE SERIES C FINANCING

                In a series of transactions during January and February 
        1994, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,762,280 shares of Series C 
        preferred stock for an aggregate purchase price of $3,918,000 (a 
        purchase price of $2.22 per share), (the "Series C Financing"), 
        including cancellation of notes payable to investors totaling 
        $1,351,000. 

                In connection with the Series C Financing, the Company 
        issued to an investor warrants to purchase (a) 50,440 shares of 
        Series C preferred stock at an exercise price of $2.22 per share 
        (b) 222,200 shares of preferred stock at an exercise price of $7.15 
        per share, and (c) 444,360 shares of preferred stock at an exercise 
        price of $3.58 per share. Warrants (a), (b) and (c) were 
        exercisable until December 18, 1995, April 15, 1995 and January 15, 
        1995, respectively. The warrants were subsequently amended in July 
        1995 (see below). 

        -       THE SERIES D FINANCING

                In connection with bridge financing obtained in May 1994, 
        the purchasers received warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 
        46,440 shares of Series D preferred stock. The warrants have an 
        exercise price of $6.55 per share and are exercisable until May 6, 
        1997. 

                In a series of transactions in September and October 1994, 
        the Company sold an aggregate of 2,230,560 shares of Series D 
        preferred stock for an aggregate purchase price, net of a $26,000 
        note receivable, of approximately $14,584,000 (a purchase price of 
        $6.55 per share), (the "Series D Financing"), including 
        cancellation of notes payable in the principal amount of 
        $2,029,000. 

                In connection with the issuance of bridge notes on April 6, 
        1995, the Company issued warrants (the "April Bridge Warrants") to 
        purchase 10,720 shares of Series D preferred stock at $6.55 per 
        share. The April Bridge Warrants are outstanding and are 
        exercisable until April 6, 1998 or, if earlier, upon the closing of 
        the Company's initial public offering. 

                In July 1995, convertible secured bridge financing notes 
        issued on April 24, 1995 were converted into 1,147,600 shares of 
        Series D preferred stock for an aggregate purchase price of 
        $7,517,000 (a purchase price of $6.55 per share). 

                In connection with the Series D Financing, Vanguard loaned 
        $1.8 million to the Company in exchange for two convertible notes 
        in the amount of $900,000 each.  Each note was due upon the earlier 
        of April 26, 1996 or the occurrence of certain events which did not 
        occur prior to that date. On April 26, 1996, Vanguard converted 
        both notes including accrued interest into an aggregate of 274,800 
        shares of Series D Redeemable Convertible preferred stock (see
        Note 6). 

        -       THE SERIES E FINANCING

                In July 1995, the Company entered into a merger agreement 
        with Vanguard and VIT, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vanguard, 
        whereby VIT would merge their international interests in a number 
        of international wireless projects into the Company in exchange for 
        3,972,240 shares of Series E preferred stock. This merger was 
        completed on December 18, 1995, concurrent with the issuance of 
        Series F preferred stock (see Note 6). 

                In connection with the Vanguard Merger, the Company entered 
        into an agreement with an investor to amend previously existing 
        warrant agreements granted in connection with the Series C 
        Financing. The investor's original warrant to purchase 50,440 
        shares of Series C preferred stock was amended to extend the 
        warrant through December 18, 1997. The investor's original
        warrant to purchase 222,200 shares of preferred stock was amended 
        to increase the number of shares to 393,120 and to define the 
        preferred stock as Series D preferred stock at $6.55 per share. The 
        warrant is exercisable until December 18, 1997. The investor's 
        original 

                                     F-50
<PAGE>

        warrant to purchase 444,360 shares of preferred stock was 
        amended to decrease the number of shares to 273,440 and to define 
        the preferred stock as Series C preferred stock at $2.22 per share. 
        The warrant is exercisable until May 15, 1997. 
        
        -       THE SERIES F FINANCING

                In connection with the issuance of a note payable to an 
        investor in July 1995, the Company issued for a purchase price of 
        $15,000, a warrant to purchase 32,000 shares of Series F preferred 
        stock at an exercise price of $9.38 per share. The number of shares 
        and the exercise price are subject to adjustment in certain 
        circumstances. The warrant is exercisable until December 18, 1998. 

                Concurrent with the July 1995 Financing, for an aggregate 
        purchase price of $72,000, the Company issued warrants to purchase 
        an aggregate of 153,760 shares of Series F preferred stock (not 
        including the warrant issued to Vanguard in connection with the 
        first July 1995 note) at an exercise price of $9.38 per share. All 
        share amounts and the exercise price are subject to adjustment in 
        certain circumstances. The warrants are exercisable until December 
        18, 1998. 

                On August 15, 1995 pursuant to a Note and Warrant Purchase 
        Agreement dated as of August 14, 1995, the Company issued for a 
        purchase price of $50,000 a warrant (the "First Warrant") to 
        purchase 106,680 shares of Series F preferred stock at an exercise 
        price of $9.38 per share, with the number of shares and exercise 
        price subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The First 
        Warrant is exercisable until December 18, 1998. 

                Pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated August 14, 1995 between 
        the Company and an investor, the Company issued a second warrant 
        (the "Second Warrant") to purchase 106,680 shares of Series F 
        preferred stock at an exercise price of $9.38 per share, with the 
        number of shares and the exercise price subject to adjustment in 
        certain circumstances. The Second Warrant is exercisable until the 
        same date, with the date being subject to change in the same 
        circumstances, as the First Warrant. 

                On December 18, 1995, the Company sold and issued 5,356,480 
        shares of Series F preferred stock for $50,217,000. Prior to the 
        share issuance of the Series F preferred stock, the Company entered 
        into bridge financing agreements with certain existing 
        shareholders. Certain bridge loans were repaid with proceeds from 
        the issuance of shares of Series F preferred stock, while the 
        remaining bridge loans were converted into 1,147,600 shares of 
        Series D preferred stock. 

                Pursuant to the Series F Purchase Agreement, the Company 
        agreed to covenants customary in financing transactions of such 
        type, including limits on incurring debt and granting liens and 
        pledges and other negative covenants including limitations on 
        payments, dividends, investments, mergers, asset sales, amendments 
        of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws that would adversely 
        impact the rights of the Series F preferred, changes to its 
        business, changes in control, and sales of equity securities.

COMMON STOCK  

        In the event of a liquidation, holders of common stock will be 
entitled to receive an amount equal to $.50 per share, as adjusted, plus any 
declared and unpaid dividends, after completion of distributions to the 
holders of preferred stock. 

        The remaining assets of the Company, after satisfaction of the 
stipulated distribution requirements related to the various preferred stock 
and common stock liquidation preferences, will be distributed on a pro rata 
basis among all of the holders of common stock and all of the holders of the 
preferred stock, assuming full conversion of the preferred stock into common 
stock. 

        In January 1994, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a 
70% interest in Corporate Technology Partners ("CTP"), a partnership 
established to develop a Personal Communications Services ("PCS") business, 
in exchange for 251,920 shares of common stock in the Company. CTP was owned, 
in part, by officers of the Company. This agreement was completed on December 
18, 1995, concurrent with the issuance of Series F preferred stock. A total 
of 45,360 of these shares remain in escrow as of December 31, 1996 pending 
finalization of an ex-employee matter. The Company wrote-off its investment 
in 1995 as CTP was unsuccessful in obtaining any Federal Communications 
Commission PCS licenses. 

        In October 1994, the Company loaned a Director of the Company, 
$178,000 to purchase 76,080 shares of common stock at a purchase price of 
$2.00 per share and 3,920 shares of redeemable convertible Series D preferred 
stock at a purchase price of $6.55 per share. The note bears interest at 
7.69% per annum. Principal and accrued interest are due in October 2004. The 
note is secured by a pledge of the stock by the Director and is non-recourse 
to the Director. The note principal is included as a component of 
stockholders' equity and redeemable convertible preferred stock on the 
accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 1995 and 1996. 

 STOCK OPTION/STOCK ISSUANCE PLAN

        During 1994, the Board of Directors adopted the 1994 Stock 
Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the "Plan") under which incentive stock options 
may be granted to employees and officers and nonqualified (supplemental) 
stock options may be granted to employees, officers, directors, and 
consultants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. Accordingly, 
the Company, as of December 31, 1995, had reserved a total of 1,000,000 
shares of the Company's common sock for issuance upon the exercise of options 
granted pursuant to the Plan. Options granted under the Plan generally expire 
10 years following the date of grant and are subject to limitations on 
transfer.  During 1996, the Board of Directors approved the amendment to and 
restatement of the Plan, and authorized this issuance of an additional 
1,400,000 shares of common stock thereunder.


                                     F-52
<PAGE>


        Option grants under the Plan are subject to various vesting 
provisions, all of which are contingent upon the continuous service of the 
optionee and may not impose vesting criterion more restrictive than 20% per 
year. The exercise price of options granted under the Plan must equal or 
exceed the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of 
grant. Unless otherwise terminated by the Board of Directors, the Plan 
automatically terminates in January 2004. 

        The Company has elected to use the intrinsic value-based method of 
APB Opinion No. 25 to account for the Plan.  Accordingly, no compensation 
cost has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial 
statements for the Plan because the exercise price of each option equals or 
exceeds the fair value of the underlying common stock as of the grant date 
for each option.

        The Company has adopted the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS 
No. 123.  Pro forma results may not be representative of the effects on 
reported net loss for future years.  Had compensation cost for the Company's 
stock-based compensation plans been determined in a manner consistent with 
the fair value approach described in SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss 
would be increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below (in thousands):

                                 1995             1996
                                 ----             ----
 Net loss      As reported     $(11,271)        $(35,908)
               Pro forma       $(11,290)        $(36,110)
        
        Pro forma net loss reflects only options granted in 1995 and 1996.  
Therefore, the full impact of calculating compensation cost for  stock 
options under SFAS No. 123 is not reflected in the pro forma net income 
amounts above because compensation cost is reflected over the options' 
vesting period of 4-5 years and compensation cost for options granted prior 
to January 1, 1995 is not considered.

        The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using 
the Black-Scholes option-pricing minimum value method model with the 
following weighted-average assumptions used for granted options in 1995 and 
1996, respectively:  zero dividend yield; zero expected volatility; risk-free 
interest rates of 5.91% and 5.88%, respectively; and weighted average 
expected lives of 2.65 years and 2.04 years, respectively.

        A summary of the status of the Company's Plan as of December 31, 
1994, 1995 and 1996 is as follows:

        Management has established a valuation allowance for the 
portion of deferred tax assets for which realization is uncertain. The 
valuation allowances as of December 31, 1995 and 1996 were $655,000 and 
$9,948,000, respectively. The net changes in valuation allowance during 1995 
and 1996 was a decrease of $705,000 for 1995 and an increase of $9,293,000 
for 1996.

<PAGE>

        As of December 31, 1996, the Company has cumulative U.S. federal net 
operating losses of approximately $26,300,000, which can be used to offset 
future income subject to federal income taxes. The federal tax loss 
carryforwards will expire from 2008 through 2011. The Company has cumulative 
California net operating losses of approximately $17,800,000, which can be 
used to offset future income subject to California income taxes. The 
California tax loss carryforwards will expire from 1998 through 2001. 

        The Tax Reform Act of 1986 imposes substantial restrictions on the 
utilization of net operating losses and tax credits in the event of an 
"ownership change" as defined. Most of the U.S. federal and California net 
operating loss carryforwards are subject to limitation as a result of these 
restrictions. The ownership change restrictions are not expected to impair 
the Company's ability to utilize the affected carryforward items. If there 
should be a subsequent ownership change, as defined, of the Company, its 
ability to utilize its carryforwards could be reduced. 

        The Company's foreign subsidiaries have aggregate net operating 
losses of approximately $2,130,000.  The foreign loss carryovers expire over 
periods varying from six years to indefinitely.

(13) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEASE AND OTHER COMMITMENTS

        The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries lease their facilities 
and certain equipment under noncancelable operating lease agreements expiring 
through 2001. Future minimum lease payments due under noncancelable operating 
leases total approximately $768,000, $705,000, $637,000, $605,000 and 
$573,000 in 1997 through 2001, respectively. 

        Total rent expense was approximately $47,000, $60,000 and $324,000 
for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995, and 1996, respectively. 

        In October 1996, SRC entered into a contract with Nokia 
Telecommunications Oy to acquire approximately $12.3 million of trunking 
equipment and related services in six phases. It is anticipated that this 
contract will be assigned to Via 1 upon the legal formation of the joint 
venture, which is anticipated to occur during the second quarter of 1997.

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

        In order to protect the Company's investments in affiliates from 
ownership dilution, the Company has committed to make additional capital 
contributions to the LWBs as needed.  During 1997, the Company anticipates 
making additional investments in various operating and nonoperating companies 
totaling $24,597,000.

 NOTE PAYABLE

        The Company was jointly and severally liable on a $16,000,000 note 
payable to an unrelated party in connection with its RHP investment. The note 
bore interest at 6.95% with principal and interest due October 10, 1996. The 
Company had recorded its pro rata share of this note on the accompanying 
consolidated balance sheet.  In October 1996, the Company paid its $4,000,000 
pro rata share of this note, plus $278,000 of accrued interest and the other 
shareholders of RHP paid their pro rata share.

CONTINGENT LIABILITY OF CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARY

        During 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with the major 
supplier of TeamTalk, agreeing to a moratorium on payments for work performed 
prior to April 30, 1996.  Subsequent to the agreement, invoices relating to 
assets purchased prior to the cut-off period were submitted by the supplier 
and are currently in dispute by TeamTalk. TeamTalk has not recognized any 
liability pertaining to those invoices.  The Company and TeamTalk expect to 
resolve this matter without any material adverse consequence.

GUARANTEE OF DEBT OF EQUITY INVESTEE

         In connection with a Malaysian Ringgit 91,000,000 (approximately 
$35,968,000 as translated using effective exchange rates at December 31, 
1996) senior credit facility with a Malaysian bank obtained by the Company's 
30% equity investee, STW, the Company along with other STW shareholders, 
executed a financial "keep well" covenant pursuant to which they have agreed 
(i) to ensure that STW will remain solvent and be able to meet its financial 
liabilities when due and (ii) to ensure that the project is timely completed 
and to make additional debt and equity investments in STW to meet cost 
overruns. The loan is repayable by STW in eleven semi-annual installments 
beginning October 8, 1997. The Company and other STW shareholders have 
separately executed an agreement, whereby each shareholder has agreed to 
share in the liability on a pro rata basis in relation to their interest in 
STW. In the event that the bank were to seek repayment from the STW 
shareholders and the other shareholders were unable to honor their pro rata 
share in the liability, the Company might be liable for the full amount of 
the outstanding amount of the loan. As of December 31, 1996, the balance on 
this loan was Ringgit 91,000,000 or $35,968,000. 

        The Company does not believe it is practicable to estimate the fair 
value of the guarantee and does not believe exposure to loss is likely. 
Accordingly, no provision has been made in the accompanying consolidated 
financial statements. 

        The Company, indirectly through its affiliate, New Zealand Wireless 
Limited, owns 15% of PT Mobilkom Telekomindo (Mobilkom). Mobilkom expects to 
fund the continued buildout of its network and the acquisition of subscriber 
terminals primarily through a seven-year $50 million revolving/reducing 
credit facility which it has obtained from a syndicate of Thai banks. 
Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at a floating rate based 
on LIBOR and are secured by substantially all of Mobilkom's assets and a 
pledge of all the capital stock held by the Company and Mobilkom's other 
shareholders. Another Mobilkom shareholder has guaranteed borrowings of up to 
$25 million under the credit facility. As of December 31, 1996, borrowings of 
approximately $20,210,000 were outstanding under this facility. 

        The Company indirectly owns a 19.8% equity interest in PT Mobile 
Selular Indonesia ("Mobisel"), a provider of cellular services in Indonesia 
through its 28.3% ownership in RHP. Mobisel has obtained a six-year $60 
million credit facility from Nissho Iwai International (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. 
("Nissho Iwai") to finance the construction of its network. Borrowings under 
the credit facility bear interest at a floating rate based on LIBOR and are 
secured by all of Mobisel's assets and a pledge of all the capital stock held 
by RHP and Mobisel's other shareholders. RHP has also guaranteed the credit 
facility. As of December 31, 1996, borrowings of approximately $60 million 
were outstanding under this facility.

(15) DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        The carrying value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, notes 
receivable from and advances to affiliates, accounts payable and accrued 
expenses, notes payable to related party and note payable approximates the 
fair market value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. 
The fair value of other financial instruments is described below.

        The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair 
value of each category of financial instruments for which it is practicable 
to estimate that value:

        INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE HELD FOR SALE -- The fair value of this 
instrument is determined by management to be the same as its carrying amount.

        INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES CARRIED ON THE COST METHOD -- The fair 
value of these instruments is estimated based upon recent transactions in 
this portfolio (see Note 5).

        LONG-TERM DEBT, NET -- The fair value of the Exchange Notes was 
estimated by management to be the same as the carrying amount as no change in 
prevailing interest rates had occurred since the August 1996 issuance of the 
Notes.

        The estimated fair values of the Company's financial assets 
(liabilities) as of December 31 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

(16) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

        In January 1997, STOL acquired an additional 9% of RPSL for 
$2,100,000.

        In March 1997, the Company loaned $3,500,000 to SDL.  The loan, in 
the form of a promissory note, accrues interest at 9% per annum and is due 
upon written demand by the Company. 

        As discussed above, the holders of the Warrants issued in connection 
with the Debt Offering  are entitled to purchase 11.638 shares of common 
stock per Warrant, representing in the aggregate approximately 10.0% of the 
outstanding stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis as of August 15, 
1996  (see Note 9).  In the event that a qualified initial public offering of 
common stock in which the Company raises at least $50 million in net cash 
proceeds does not occur on or prior to May 15, 1997, each unexercised Warrant 
will entitle the holder thereof to purchase an additional 2.645 shares of 
common stock.  On March 27, 1997, the Board of Directors determined, based on 
discussions with the Company's prospective underwriters, that it was unlikely 
that the Company will complete such an offering on or prior to May 15, 1997.

        The Company was not in compliance with its bond indenture covenants 
to submit audited consolidated financial statements and a compliance 
certificate within 90 days of the Company's fiscal year end.  The Trustee has 
indicated that it would not consider this matter to be an event of default 
and that such noncompliance is curable upon the delivery of this document and 
the compliance certificate to the Trustee prior to April 30, 1997.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Report No. 27181S
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS
PT RAJASA HAZANAH PERKASA AND SUBSIDIARY
     We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of PT Rajasa Hazanah
Perkasa and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the related
consolidated statements of income and deficit and cash flows for the years then
ended. 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 audit in accordance with auditing standards established by
the Indonesian Institute of Accountants, which are substantially similar to the
generally accepted auditing standards in the United States of America. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PT Rajasa
Hazanah Perkasa and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles in the Republic of Indonesia.
     Generally accepted accounting principles in Indonesia vary in certain
respects with those in the United States of America. A description of the
significant differences between those two generally accepted accounting
principles and the approximate effects of those differences on net income and
stockholders' equity are set forth in Notes 22 and 23 to the consolidated
financial statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
     The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical
cost basis of accounting, except for inventory which are valued at the lower of
cost or net realizable value (market).
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its 70% owned Subsidiary, PT Mobile Selular Indonesia (Mobisel). Mobisel was
legally established on January 31, 1996. In recognition of its change in legal
status as explained in Note 1 and for comparative purposes, the Company restated
the 1995 accounts previously reported as if Subsidiary was legally established
in 1995 and accordingly consolidated in 1995.
     All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
     Time deposits with maturities of three months or less at the time of
placement or purchase are considered as "Cash Equivalents".
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
     Allowance are provided for doubtful accounts based on a review of the
status of the individual receivable accounts at the end of the year.
PREPAID EXPENSES
     Prepaid expenses are amortized over the periods benefited using the
straight-line method. Prepaid expenses which benefited more than one year are
classified in "Other Assets -- Long-term Prepayments".
INVENTORIES
     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value
(market). Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. The Company
provides an allowance for obsolescence on inventories based on a periodic review
of their condition.
TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
     The Company and its Subsidiary have transactions with entities which are
regarded as having special relationship as defined under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 7, "Related Party Disclosures".

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- Continued
     Telecommunication network represents capitalized system costs for the
development of the Subsidiary's cellular mobile telephone systems. This includes
the costs of the construction, direct labor cost spent on the construction, and
interest on loans used to finance the construction. Capitalization of interest
ceases when the construction is completed and ready for its intended use.
     The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred;
significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. When assets are retired or
otherwise disposed of, their costs and the related accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income
for the period.
CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS
     Construction in progress is stated at cost. The accumulated costs are
reclassified to the appropriate property and equipment accounts when the
construction is completed and ready for its intended use.
PREOPERATING EXPENSES
     Preoperating expenses are amortized over three years up to 1998, in
accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 6,
"Accounting and Reporting for a Development Stage Company".
REVENUE AND EXPENSE RECOGNITION
     Revenue is recorded as earned when products are delivered to the customers
or when services are rendered. Expenses are recognized when they are incurred.
     Revenue is obtained from three primary sources:
      -- connecting fee for each new line sold
      -- pulse-sharing
      -- sales, repair, maintenance and rental of outstations and accessories
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES
     Transactions involving foreign currencies are recorded at the rates of
exchange prevailing at the time the transactions are made. At the balance sheet
date, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are adjusted to
reflect the middle rate of Bank Indonesia prevailing at such date and the
resulting gains or losses are credited or charged to operations of the current
year.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAX
     Provision for income tax is determined on the basis of estimated taxable
income for the year. No deferred tax is provided for the timing differences in
the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements for financial
reporting and income tax purposes.
3. TRANSLATIONS OF INDONESIAN RUPIAH AMOUNTS INTO UNITED STATES DOLLAR AMOUNTS
     The financial statements are stated in Indonesian rupiah. The translations
of Indonesian rupiah amounts into United States dollars are included solely for
the convenience of the readers, using the average buying and selling rates
published by Bank Indonesia (Central Bank) on December 31, 1996 of Rp 2,383 to
U.S.$ 1. The convenience translations should not be construed as representations
that the Indonesian rupiah amounts have been, could have been, or could in the
future be, converted into United States dollars at this or any other rate of
exchange.

22. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES FOLLOWED BY
    THE COMPANY AND U.S. GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES THE FINANCIAL
    STATEMENTS HAVE BEEN PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH INDONESIAN GAAP WHICH
DIFFER IN CERTAIN RESPECTS FROM U.S. GAAP.
     THE DIFFERENCES ARE REFLECTED IN THE APPROXIMATIONS PROVIDED IN NOTE 26 AND
ARISE DUE TO THE ITEMS DISCUSSED IN THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS:
     A. INCOME TAXES
     Under Indonesian GAAP, it is acceptable to recognize Income Tax expense
based upon the estimated current Income Tax liability on the current year's
earnings. When income and expense recognition for Income Tax purposes does not
occur in the same year as income and expense recognition for financial reporting
purposes, the resulting temporary differences are not considered in the
computation of Income Tax expense for the year.
     Under U.S. GAAP, the liability method is used to calculate the Income Tax
provision. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets or liabilities are
recognized for differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of
assets and liabilities at each reporting date.
     b. REGULATION
     The Company provides telephone service in Indonesia and therefore is
subject to the regulatory control of the Minister of Tourism, Posts and
Telecommunications of the Republic of Indonesia. Rates for services are
tariff-regulated. Although changes in rates for services are authorized and
computed based on a decree issued by the Minister of Tourism, Posts and
Telecommunications of the Republic of Indonesia, these are not based on a fixed
rate of return and are not designed to provide for the recovery of the Company's
cost of services. Accordingly, the requirements of U.S. GAAP related to a
business whose rates are regulated on the basis of its actual costs are not
applicable to the Companies' financial statements.
     c. PRESENTATION OF THE STATEMENTS OF STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
     Under Indonesian GAAP, except for public companies, it is not required to
present statements of retained earnings. Under U.S. GAAP, the Companies are
required to present statements of stockholders' equity.

are not deductible for income tax purposes until the provision for inventory

The differences between the book and tax bases of property and equipment,
prepaid long-term rent and preoperating expenses are due to the differing
recognition methods for Income Tax and financial reporting purposes.
