                                 Schedule 3.9.1

                       Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities

On December 15, 1997, a billing dispute between the Company and AT&T regarding
the rates assessed pursuant to an agreement between Capital Network System, Inc.
("CNSI") and AT&T dated October 27, 1995 culminated in termination of certain
international telecommunications services provided by AT&T, including service to
Mexico. The Company is taking immediate action to restore service, with the
ultimate goal of entering into a service agreement which reflects current market
conditions and rates which are approximately 50% of rates charged by AT&T.
Although the Company has already restored service representing 50% of prior
revenues in Mexico, there is no guarantee the Company will be able to restore
service to the Caribbean, which represented approximately 10% of the total
international services previously provided by AT&T.

Additionally, the eventual resolution of the billing dispute between the Company
and AT&T may require the payment of past due sums in the amount of $1.2 million.
An additional sum of $3.6 million was the subject of dispute prior to the
acquisition of CNSI by the Company and is the subject of an indemnification
claim previously asserted.

                           No Material Adverse Change

The termination of certain telecommunication services by AT&T described more
fully in Schedule 3.7.1 may have adverse implications, although as of the date
of this Agreement, it is the opinion of management of the Company that alternate
sources of service will result in increased profit margins.

1.   D. Faye Manghir v. AMNEX, Inc. and American Network Exchange, Inc., Index
     No. 603399/97, Supreme Court of the State of New York

On July 2, 1997, D. Faye Manghir, the holder of a 50% equity interest in the
joint venture company formed by Community Network Services, Inc., MicroTel
Communications Corp. and the Company (which holds the remaining 50% equity
interest), filed suit against the Company in the Supreme Court of the state of
New York. The suit alleges, among other things, that the Company made certain
misrepresentations and committed certain breaches under the joint venture
agreement among the parties, and seeks rescission of such agreement,
compensatory damages in the sum of $10,000.00, punitive damages in the sum of
$25,000,000, and attorneys' fees. The Company filed a motion to dismiss or in
the alternative to stay the proceeding pending arbitration and also a reply to
the plaintiff's response. Plaintiff has offered to settle this matter and the
Company is evaluating the offer.

     Garden State Telephone Installation & Service Co., Inc., National Telecom
     USA, Inc., National Telecom Hospitality USA, Inc. and Brian E. King v.
     AMNEX, Inc., American Network Exchange, Inc., Crescent Public
     Communications Inc. and American Hotel Exchange, Inc., Index No. 97/604764,
     Supreme Court o f the State of New York

On September 25, 1997, Brian King and his affiliates, National Telecom USA,
Inc., The Keystone Corporation, Coastal Telecom Payphone Company, Inc., BEK Tel,
Inc., Garden State Telephone Installation & Service Co., Inc. and National
Telecom Hospitality USA (collectively "National") filed suit against the Company
and its subsidiaries, American Network Exchange, Inc. ("ANWI"), Crescent Public
Communications Inc. ("Crescent") and American Hotel Exchange, Inc. alleging
breaches of various contracts, negligence, misappropriation of trade secrets,
conversion of various assets, fraud, negligent misrepresentations and promissory
estoppel, and seeking rescission of certain claims, specific performance of
other claims, damages in the amount of $6,300,000, punitive damages and
attorneys' fees. On September 30, 1997, the Company and National reached an
agreement of settlement of certain of the claims. Pursuant to this settlement,
on September 30, 1997, the Company paid National $1,000,000 in cash and
delivered a note in the principal amount of $840,000 (the "National Note").
Thereafter, the Company filed a motion to dismiss and compel arbitration or, in
the alternative, to stay pending arbitration and also a reply to plaintiffs'
response.

The plaintiffs also attempted to obtain a temporary restraining order and then a
permanent injunction to stop the Company from (i) reducing temporarily their
weekly payments to reflect accrued billing and related interest costs associated
with their traffic and (ii) increasing the charge for the underlying unbundled
services the Company provides for them. The TRO was denied after oral argument.
To date, no decision has been made on the permanent injunction.

3.   Robert A. Rowland vs. AMNEX, Inc. and Capital Network System, Inc.
     ("CNSI"), No. 97-07955, District Court of Travis County, Texas

In connection with the Company's June 1996 acquisition of Capital Network
System, Inc. ("CNSI"), CNSI issued a promissory note in favor of Robert A.
Rowland (the "Rowland Note"), a principal shareholder of the Company, in the
principal amount of $1,197,700 payable on July 31, 1997, with interest due on
the unpaid principal balance at a rate of 10.5% per annum. On July 11, 1997, Mr.
Rowland filed this suit. He assets several causes of action against the Company,
including enforcement of an alleged settlement agreement regarding
indemnification claims, and seeks damages in the amount of the principal and
interest due under the Rowland Note, attorneys' fees and exemplary damages in an
unstated amount. The causes of action asserted by Mr. Rowland against CNSI
relate to monies allegedly due under a consulting agreement, and damages claimed
include attorneys' fees. The Company is planning to appeal the denial of its
motion to compel arbitration and plea to abate the action and has asserted as an
affirmative defense a fraud claim against Mr. Rowland.

4.   Derivative Claims Threatened by Robert A. Rowland

On August 11, 1997, the Company received a letter from counsel to Mr. Rowland
which demanded that the Board of Directors conduct an investigation into certain
matters, specifically (i) the propriety of certain transactions with Mr. Galesi
and (ii) possible mismanagement of the Company. Counsel to Mr. Rowland demanded
that suit be brought against any officer or Director of the Company for
wrongdoing, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, self dealing, gross mismanagement
or under any other theory of liability and further stated that if his demand is
refused, Mr. Rowland will take appropriate action, including possibly a
shareholder's derivative action. On August 29, 1997, the Company advised counsel
to Mr. Rowland that the outside Directors of the Company have been requested to
investigate the assertions made.

5.   Arbitration Award

A number of disputes between the Company and John Kane, a former employee, were
decided by an arbitration panel on December 8, 1997. The Company expects that
Mr. Kane will take steps to have his award in the amount of $138,704.11
confirmed by a court.

6.   Dolphin USA, Inc. v. Capital Network System, Inc. and American Network
     Exchange, Inc., Case No. 96-49931, District Court of Harris County, Texas

On September 30, 1996, Dolphin USA, Inc. ("Dolphin") brought suit against the
Company's affiliates ANEI and CNSI. The suit is based primarily on an alleged
breach of contract for the provision of long distance service. Dolphin has
requested damages in the amount of approximately $2,000,000. ANEI and CNSI have
counterclaimed for the $30,000 unpaid balance of a promissory note, which claim
is undisputed. The parties are currently engaged in discovery and the case is
currently scheduled for mediation in early February 1998 and trial in April
1998.

     Network System, Inc., Arbitration Hearings, Case No. 75 199 257 96

On July 24, 1997, Midcom Communications, Inc. filed a lawsuit against
Fulfillment Enterprises, Inc. ("FEI"), a CNSI subsidiary which AMNEX did not
acquire, and CNSI. Midcom alleges CNSI is jointly and severally liable for
monies due for services provided to FEI by Midcom. Midcom claims that FEI
assigned all of its obligations under a contract between Midcom and FEI to CNSI,
an alleged "affiliate" of FEI, or, alternatively, that FEI and CNSI were a
single business enterprise thereby making CNSI liable for the outstanding
invoices, totaling about $200,000.00. CNSI has filed a general denial.

8.   Scorpion Enterprises, Inc. d/b/a the Wine Cellar, USA Car Rental, Auto
     Security & Sound and LA Dam Limo v. Coin-Tel Communications, National

     ABC Company and DEF Corp., Docket No. UNN-L-5628-97, Superior Court of New
     Jersey Law Division: Union County

Crescent acquired the assets of Coastal Telecom Payphone, Inc. ("Coastal") in
1996. This is a suit for recovery of back commissions in the total amount of
$41,000.00 allegedly owed by Coastal. The alleged liability both predates and
postdates the closing of the Coastal/Crescent transactions. To date, the Company
has not been properly served with this lawsuit.

9.   James Bruen, on his own behalf, and on behalf of all persons similarly
     situated, and on behalf of the general public v. Asia Pacific Telecom,
     National Business Exchange, Inc., Pacific Bell, MCI Communications
     Corporation and Docs I through XX. No. 985470, Superior Court of the State
     of California, County of San Francisco.

NBE provides billing and collection services for various telecommunications
companies based on information provided by those companies. This is a class
action suit for injunction, restitution and other relief filed against NBE and
certain other parties concerning the wrongful billing of charges (a total of
$59.85) for Internet services, which charges the Plaintiff states were not
properly authorized. Plaintiff alleges a violation of the Consumer Legal
Remedies Act, unfair business practices, intentional misrepresentation, and
negligent misrepresentation. The only prayer for judgment affecting the Company
is that NBE be enjoined from seeking to collect monies from members of the class
on behalf of Asia Pacific, its former client.

10.  Keith Maydak, as assignee for Zankle Worldwide Telecom Group, Inc. (d/b/a
     Mr. Gickles, Inc.) v. American Network Exchange, Inc., Case No. 1309 C.D.
     1996, Court of Common Pleas of McKeon County, Pennsylvania, Civil Division

company doing business as Mr. Gickles, Inc. The Company's fraud department
determined that there were massive fraud on the account. The contractual
relationship was terminated and no additional commissions were paid. Some years
later, Keith Maydak, a former office of Mr. Gickles, filed suit against ANEI in
Pennsylvania. The initial claim made in the lawsuit was for $6,883.94. However,
Mr. Maydak has now increased his claim to $1 million. Eventually, the Company

prevailed on a motion to dismiss. Mr. Maydak has appeal the dismissal.

11.  Pennsylvania Public Commission ("PUC"), Informan Investigation Number
     97.0145

In the third quarter of 1997, the PUC initiated an informan investigation into
two limited aspects of the Company's operator services operations in that state.
In response, ANEI has provided certain information and voluntarily ceased
charging a set use fee on certain local exchange carrier-owned payphones. Given
its voluntary actions, the Company does not expect that resolution of the
investigation will have a material adverse effect on its operations.
