Interest Payable March 15 and September 15
-------------------
ProNet Inc. ("ProNet" or the "Company") is offering (the "Offering")
$100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its % Senior Subordinated Notes
due 2006 (the "Notes"). Interest on the Notes will be payable semiannually on
March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing September 15, 1996. The Notes
will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any
time on or after September 15, 2001, at the redemption prices set forth herein,
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. The Notes
will not be subject to any mandatory sinking fund. In the event of a Change of
Control (as defined), each holder of the Notes will have the right, at such
holder's option, to require the Company to purchase such holder's Notes at a
purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to the date of such purchase.
The Notes also may be redeemed at the option of the Company, in whole but
not in part, at any time prior to December 16, 1996 at 101% of the principal
amount of Notes at maturity, plus accrued interest to the date of redemption
(the "Special Redemption Price"), if, in the sole judgment of the Company, the
Teletouch Acquisition (as defined) will not be consummated by such date (a
"Special Redemption"). In addition, a Special Redemption shall mandatorily occur
on December 16, 1996 if the Teletouch Acquisition has not been consummated by
December 6, 1996. During the period when a Special Redemption may occur, the net
proceeds of the Offering will be held in an escrow account, together with
additional amounts deposited, and to be deposited, in the escrow account by the
Company such that the total amount in the escrow account (the "Escrowed
Amounts") will be sufficient to pay the Special Redemption Price in the event of
a Special Redemption. Until the release of the funds to the Company at the time
of the Teletouch Acquisition, the holders of the Notes will look to the escrow
account for payment in the event of a Special Redemption. See "Description of
Notes -- Escrow of Proceeds; Special Redemption."
The Notes will be general unsecured obligations of the Company subordinated
in right of payment to all existing and future Senior Debt (as defined) of the
Company. As of March 31, 1996, after giving pro forma effect to certain
acquisitions and the Concurrent Offering (as defined), the Company would have
had approximately $225 million of outstanding indebtedness, including the Notes,
$25 million of Senior Debt and $100 million aggregate principal amount of PARI
PASSU debt. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Capitalization."
Concurrently with the Offering, ProNet is publicly offering (the "Concurrent
Offering" and, together with the Offering, the "Offerings") in the U.S. and
internationally 4,000,000 shares (excluding underwriters' over-allotment options
to purchase up to 600,000 shares) of ProNet's Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share (the "Common Stock"). The closings of the Offering and the Concurrent
Offering are not conditioned upon each other.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY THE MORE DETAILED
INFORMATION AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN
THIS PROSPECTUS OR INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. UNLESS THE CONTEXT
OTHERWISE REQUIRES, REFERENCES IN THIS PROSPECTUS TO "PRONET" AND THE "COMPANY"
REFER TO PRONET INC. AND ITS CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES. CAPITALIZED NAMES OF
PAGING COMPANIES AND GROUPS OF PAGING COMPANIES ACQUIRED AND TO BE ACQUIRED BY
THE COMPANY AND TELETOUCH COMMUNICATIONS, INC. ARE DEFINED IN "SUMMARY PRO FORMA
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS."
THE COMPANY
ProNet is one of the fastest growing providers of wireless messaging
services in the United States. The Company's subscriber base has grown through
both acquisitions and internal growth at annual rates of 14%, 172% and 142% in
1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively. Over this time period, the Company has
migrated its business focus from serving primarily the healthcare industry to
broader commercial and retail markets. Since March 1, 1994, the Company has
completed 19 acquisitions, adding 678,200 subscribers. Additionally, the Company
has focused on and generated internal growth in its paging subscriber base of
36% and 41% for the 12 months ended December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996,
respectively. Upon completion by the Company of the acquisitions of Teletouch
Communications, Inc. ("Teletouch"), the nationwide, one-way paging license on
the 931.9125 MHz frequency covering the United States and Canada (the
"Nationwide License") from Motorola, Inc. ("Motorola"), and the other Pending
Acquisitions, the Company will be the fifth largest publicly traded paging
company in the United States, with approximately 1.5 million subscribers at
March 31, 1996.
Upon completion of the Pending Acquisitions and the acquisition of the
Nationwide License, the Company will offer local, regional and nationwide paging
services in 25 states covering 72% of the population of the United States. The
Company has focused its business development around five geographic regions
serviced by communication "SuperCenters" which are located in Charlotte,
Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles and New York. This geographically concentrated
operating and expansion strategy allows the Company to develop regional critical
mass, undertake cost-effective incremental expansion and selectively access
markets which feature the size, growth rates, demographic groups, types of
businesses and competitive dynamics that indicate significant potential demand
for the Company's current and future products and services. In addition, by
developing a heavy concentration of subscribers in each geographic region, the
Company is able to maintain one of the lowest cost operating structures in the
paging industry.
The Company believes that it has solidified its position as one of the
leading wireless messaging providers in the United States with the execution in
April 1996 of definitive agreements to purchase the Nationwide License and to
acquire Teletouch, both of which will enhance and augment the Company's
SuperCenter expansion strategy. The acquisition of the Nationwide License will
provide the Company with the ability to use an exclusive nationwide frequency as
a platform to expand on a cost-effective basis into attractive markets within
and contiguous to the Company's SuperCenters. The Nationwide License will also
position the Company to develop regional and national distribution alliances
with a variety of other communications service providers. In addition, the
Nationwide License will allow the Company the flexibility to focus on
acquisition candidates that offer distribution enhancements, economies of scale
and market expansion opportunities rather than acquisitions that would
supplement the Company's spectrum resources.
With 310,720 subscribers (pro forma for the Teletouch Pending Acquisitions),
Teletouch is a geographically concentrated provider of paging services in
medium-sized markets in the southern United States (Alabama, Arkansas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas). Teletouch
enjoys a leading position in its markets, which generally are subject to less
competition than major metropolitan centers. Teletouch subscribers generate
higher average revenue per unit ("ARPU") than is considered typical for larger,
more competitive metropolitan markets. The Company believes that the acquisition
of Teletouch (the "Teletouch Acquisition") will strengthen the Company's
competitive position in the southern United States as a result of increased
scale, expanded contiguous signal and sales coverage and increased retail
distribution. Management also believes that
3
<PAGE>
the Teletouch Acquisition will strengthen ProNet's position as a low cost
provider because (i) the resulting increase in the subscriber base of the
Company's Houston and Charlotte SuperCenters will allow the Company to benefit
from significant operating leverage and (ii) the integration of Teletouch's
operating and administrative functions will allow for the removal of redundant
overhead costs.
The Company's strategy seeks to capitalize on the critical mass of
subscribers, broad spectrum resources, distribution capabilities and marketing
expertise that the Company has built since the initiation of its three-phase
growth plan in 1993. The objective of the Company's strategy is to enhance the
Company's position as a leading provider of wireless messaging services and to
accelerate the Company's growth in subscribers and cash flow. Key elements of
the Company's strategy include (i) focusing the Company's operations on, and
expanding the business around, specific geographic regions anchored by the
Company's five operational SuperCenters, (ii) selectively acquiring additional
companies in SuperCenter regions that have complementary operations to those
already existing in the market, (iii) selectively acquiring companies in areas
contiguous to SuperCenter regions that provide a more cost-effective method of
market entry than launching a start-up operation, (iv) increasing penetration of
selected distribution channels, primarily reseller and retail, through the
development of innovative marketing programs, (v) offering a variety of enhanced
wireless products and services, including new products and services, such as
narrowband PCS, as they become available and (vi) selectively expanding the
Company's senior management team and focusing on the ongoing training and career
development of its managers and employees. See "Business -- Strategy."
The Company was incorporated under Delaware law in 1982. The Company's
principal executive office is located at 6340 LBJ Freeway, Dallas, Texas 75240
and its telephone number is (214) 687-2000.

Ranking......................... The Notes will be general unsecured senior subordinated
obligations of the Company, will be subordinated to all

"Indenture") will provide that the Company will not incur
any debt that is subordinate in right of payment to any

to the Notes. See "Description of Notes -- Subordination."
As of March 31, 1996, after giving pro forma effect to the

Covenants."
Escrow of Proceeds.............. During the period when a Special Redemption may occur, the
proceeds of the Offering will be held in an escrow
account, together with additional amounts deposited, and
to be deposited, in the escrow account by the Company such
that the total amount in the escrow account will be
sufficient to pay the Special Redemption Price in the
event of a Special Redemption. Until the release of the
funds to the Company at the time of the Teletouch
Acquisition, the holders of the Notes will look to the
escrow account for payment in the event of a Special
Redemption. The full amount of the indebtedness
represented by the Notes may only be incurred by, and the
Escrowed Amounts may only be released to, the Company
under the conditions described in "Description of Notes --
Escrow of Proceeds; Special Redemption."

the sole judgment of the Company, the Teletouch
Acquisition will not be consummated by December 16, 1996.

deposit with the escrow agent an amount equal to the
interest calculated on $100,000,000 principal amount of
the Notes from September 15, 1996 through December 16,
1996. See "Description of Notes -- Escrow of Proceeds;
Special Redemption."
Certain Covenants............... The Indenture will contain certain covenants that, among
other things, limit the ability of the Company and its
subsidiaries to incur other indebtedness, pay dividends,
engage in transactions with affiliates, sell assets and
engage in mergers and consolidations. See "Description of
Notes -- Certain Covenants."
Concurrent Offering............. The Company is concurrently offering to the public
4,000,000 shares of Common Stock (4,600,000 shares if the
Underwriters' over-allotment options are exercised in
full). The closings of the Offering and the Concurrent
Offering are not conditioned upon each other.
Use of proceeds of the
Offerings...................... The Company intends to use approximately $115 million of
the net proceeds of the Offerings to refinance Teletouch
debt and senior subordinated notes and to redeem Teletouch
Series A Preferred Stock. The balance of the net proceeds
will be used to fund the cash consideration to be paid for
the Company's acquisition of the Nationwide License ($43
million), PacWest ($9 million), Georgialina ($12 million),
and VIP ($6 million), and to repay a portion of the
outstanding indebtedness under the Company's revolving
credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). If the Concurrent
Offering is not completed, the Company anticipates that it
will seek to obtain additional debt or equity financing.
No assurance can be given that the Company will obtain
such financing. See "Use of Proceeds."

additional debt or equity financing. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and
Capital Resources."
(2) Service revenues consist of fixed monthly, quarterly, annual and bi-annual
service and leasing fees.
(3) Product sales include pager and paging equipment sales and other security
systems' income.
(4) Calculated by dividing pagers in service at the end of each period by the
number of employees at the end of such period presented. This calculation
excludes employees directly related to the security systems' business.
(5) ARPU-Paging (average revenue per paging unit) is calculated by dividing
paging systems' average monthly service revenues for the last quarter of the
period by the average of the number of pagers in service at the beginning of
such months.
(6) ARPU-TracPac (average revenue per TracPac unit) is calculated by dividing
security systems' service revenues for the last month in the period by the
number of miniature radio transmitters ("TracPacs") in service at the
beginning of such month.
(7) Calculated by dividing the sum of the cost of pager lease and access fees
and selling, general and administrative expenses for the last month in the
period by the number of pagers in service at the beginning of such month.
(8) Cash flow from operating activities is derived from the statement of cash
flows and differs from EBITDA (as defined below) primarily due to interest
expense and changes in working capital.
(9) EBITDA is earnings before other income (expense), income taxes, depreciation
and amortization. Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest
expense. EBITDA does not represent cash flows as defined by generally
accepted accounting principles and does not necessarily indicate that cash
flows are sufficient to fund all of the Company's cash needs. EBITDA should
not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss),
cash flows from operating activities or other measures of liquidity
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
(10) Calculated by dividing EBITDA by the remainder of total revenues less cost
of products sold for the period presented.
(11) Includes communications equipment valued at $6 million associated with the
acquisition of the Nationwide License and excludes the cost of the
Acquisitions.
(12) The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is calculated as the sum of income
before taxes plus fixed charges, divided by fixed charges. Fixed charges
consist of interest expense including amortization of deferred financing
costs. For the year ended December 31, 1995, for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 and on a pro forma basis for the year ended December 31, 1995
and the three months ended March 31, 1996, earnings were insufficient to
cover fixed charges by $7.6 million, $6.1 million, $22.5 million and $9.6
million, respectively.
(13) Calculated by dividing total debt at the end of the period by EBITDA for
the 12 months ended on the last day of the period, excepting the pro forma
ratio for the three months ended March 31, 1996, which is based on
annualized EBITDA.
(14) Gives effect to the Pending Acquisitions and the acquisition of the
Nationwide License as if they had occurred on March 31, 1996 and assumes
consummation of the Offerings and the application of the net proceeds
therefrom as if each had occurred on March 31, 1996. In the event that the
Company does not complete the Concurrent Offering, the Company anticipates
that it will seek additional debt or equity financing. If the Balance Sheet
Data were adjusted only for the consummation of the Offering, the
application of the net proceeds therefrom, the Pending Acquisitions, the
acquisition of the Nationwide License, and the incurrence of such additional
debt financing as may be necessary to complete such transactions, the
Company's Pro Forma As Adjusted Cash and cash equivalents, Working capital,
Total assets, Total debt, Total liabilities and Total stockholders equity on
March 31, 1996 would have been $1.0 million, $(10.2) million, $511.3
million, $335.6 million, $368.4 million, and $142.9 million, respectively.

RISK FACTORS
IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS, THE FOLLOWING
FACTORS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED CAREFULLY BY EACH PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER OF THE
NOTES.
ACQUISITION STRATEGY
Since March 1, 1994, the Company has purchased 19 paging operations and has
five acquisitions pending, including the Teletouch Acquisition and the
acquisition of the Nationwide License. The Pending Acquisitions (which include
the Teletouch Pending Acquisitions) represent an aggregate of 420,720 pagers in
service. No assurances can be given that the Pending Acquisitions will be
consummated, that further suitable acquisition candidates can be found or
purchased on favorable terms or that the Pending Acquisitions, if completed,
will be successful. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to integrate the paging operations of each of the acquired companies
successfully. In particular, the Company's ability to integrate Teletouch may be
adversely affected by: (i) Teletouch's large size (310,720 pagers in service on
a pro forma basis) relative to the Company; (ii) Teletouch's involvement in
markets not currently served by the Company; and (iii) Teletouch's efforts to
integrate its own completed and pending acquisitions. If the Company is not
successful in integrating such paging operations, the business of the Company
may be adversely affected. In addition, integration of new acquisitions may, at
least in the short term, have an adverse impact upon the Company's operations.
The closings of the Teletouch Acquisition and the acquisition of the
Nationwide License are each subject to receipt of customary regulatory approvals
and other conditions (including, in the case of the Teletouch Acquisition, the
approval of both the Company's and Teletouch's stockholders). Pending the
completion of the Teletouch Acquisition, the net proceeds of the Offering will
be deposited into an escrow account. If (i) the Company, in its sole judgment,
determines that the Teletouch Acquisition will not be consummated prior to
December 16, 1996, (ii) the Teletouch Acquisition has not been consummated by
December 6, 1996 or (iii) certain other events described in "Description of
Notes -- Escrow of Proceeds; Special Redemption" occur, a Special Redemption
will occur. In the event that the Company does not complete the Concurrent
Offering, the Company anticipates that it will seek additional debt or equity
financing. The Company anticipates that it will receive a commitment to amend
the Credit Facility to permit the borrowing thereunder of up to $300 million,
but there can be no assurance that the Credit Facility will be amended or that,
even if the Credit Facility is so amended, sufficient financing will be
available to the Company to complete the Teletouch Acquisition and the
acquisition of the Nationwide License. Although the Company expects that the
Teletouch Acquisition and the acquisition of the Nationwide License will be
completed in the third quarter of 1996, no assurance can be given that either
such acquisition will be completed. The Company's failure to obtain the
necessary financing to complete the Teletouch Acquisition or the acquisition of
the Nationwide License could subject the Company to claims for substantial
damages and would have a material adverse effect on the Company. See "Business."
HIGH DEGREE OF LEVERAGE; RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BY LENDERS
The Company is highly leveraged. At March 31, 1996, the Company had
approximately $148 million of debt outstanding and the Company's long-term debt
as a percentage of total capitalization was 73%. Upon completion of the
Offerings, the Teletouch Acquisition and the acquisition of the Nationwide
License, the Company would have had outstanding at March 31, 1996 (i)
approximately $9 million in variable rate debt under the Credit Facility, (ii)
approximately $17 million of Deferred Payments (as defined), (iii) $100 million
in principal amount of the Existing Notes and (iv) $100 million in principal
amount of the Notes. On a pro forma basis for the year ended December 31, 1995
and the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company's earnings were
insufficient to cover fixed charges by $22.5 million and $9.6 million,
respectively.
The Company's high degree of leverage will have important consequences to
the Company, including the following: (i) the ability of the Company to obtain
additional financing in the future for acquisitions, working capital, capital
expenditures or other purposes, should it need to do so, may be impaired; (ii) a
substantial portion of the Company's cash flow from operations will be required
to be dedicated to the payment of the Company's interest expense, which will
reduce the funds available to
9
<PAGE>
the Company for its operations and future business opportunities; (iii) the
Company may be more highly leveraged than some of its competitors, which may
place it at a competitive disadvantage; and (iv) the Company's high degree of
leverage may make it more vulnerable to a downturn in its business or the
economy generally.
The ability of the Company to continue making payments of principal and
interest will be largely dependent upon its future performance. Because
borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at rates that fluctuate with
certain prevailing interest rates, increases in such prevailing interest rates
will increase the Company's interest payment obligations and could have an
adverse effect on the Company. Other factors, some of which will be beyond the
Company's control, such as prevailing economic conditions, will affect its
performance. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate
sufficient cash flow to cover required interest and principal payments. If the
Company is unable to meet interest and principal payments in the future, it may,
depending upon the circumstances which then exist, seek additional equity or
debt financing, attempt to refinance its existing indebtedness or sell all or
part of its business or assets to raise funds to repay its indebtedness. There
can be no assurance that sufficient equity or debt financing will be available,
or, if available, that it will be on terms acceptable to the Company, that the
Company will be able to refinance its existing indebtedness or that sufficient
funds could be raised through asset sales.
The Credit Facility and the indenture governing the Existing Notes (the
"Existing Notes Indenture" and, together with the Indenture, the "Indentures")
contain financial and operating covenants including, among other things,
requirements that the Company maintain certain financial ratios and satisfy
certain financial tests and limitations on, among other things, the Company's
ability to incur other indebtedness, pay dividends, engage in transactions with
affiliates, sell assets and engage in mergers and consolidations and other
acquisitions. If the Company fails to comply with these covenants, the lenders
will be able to accelerate the maturity of the applicable indebtedness. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources," "Description of Other
Indebtedness" and "Description of Notes."
SUBORDINATION
The Notes will be unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to all
existing and future Senior Debt of the Company, including all indebtedness under
the Credit Facility. By reason of such subordination, in the event of the
insolvency, liquidation or other reorganization of the Company, the Senior Debt
must be paid in full before the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
the Notes may be paid. As of March 31, 1996, after giving pro forma effect to
the Pending Acquisitions, the acquisition of the Nationwide License and the
Offerings, the Notes would have been subordinated to approximately $25 million
of Senior Debt. The Indenture will not limit the amount of Senior Debt that may
be incurred by the Company if certain tests are met. See "Description of Notes
- -- Certain Covenants."
The Company may not pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on
the Notes, or repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire the Notes, if any Senior
Debt is not paid when due or any default on Senior Debt occurs and the maturity
of such Senior Debt is accelerated in accordance with its terms unless, in
either case, the default has been cured or waived, any such acceleration has
been rescinded or such Senior Debt has been paid in full, except that the
Company may make payments with respect to the Notes with the approval of certain
holders of Senior Debt. In addition, if any default exists with respect to
certain Senior Debt and certain other conditions are satisfied, the Company may
not make any payments on the Notes for a designated period of time. The right of
each holder of the Notes to require the Company to repurchase the Notes at a
premium upon the occurrence of a Change of Control would be blocked by the
foregoing subordination provisions to the extent that the event constituting a
Change of Control also causes a default (or if a default otherwise exists) under
the Credit Facility or other Senior Debt. Upon any payment or distribution of
assets of the Company upon a total or partial liquidation, dissolution,
reorganization or similar proceeding, the holders of Senior Debt will be
entitled to receive payment in full before the holders of the Notes are entitled
to receive any payment. See "Description of Notes -- Subordination."

<PAGE>
FUTURE PROFITABILITY
The Company was profitable in 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1994. However, due to the
incurrence of significantly greater depreciation, amortization and interest
expenses in 1995 as a result of the Company's recent acquisitions of commercial
paging companies and the issuance of the Existing Notes, the Company was not
profitable in 1995 or the first quarter of 1996. Such increased expenses may
continue, and, if continued, will reduce net income and may contribute to the
Company's incurrence of losses in future periods. No assurances can be given
that the Company will achieve profitability in the future. See "Selected
Financial and Operating Data" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
The Company may be required from time to time to incur additional
indebtedness or issue additional equity securities to finance its growth
strategy, including acquisitions and the buildout of the infrastructure
supporting the Nationwide License. There can be no assurance, however, that
funds will be available on terms favorable to the Company, or that such funds
will be available when needed. The terms of the Credit Facility and the
Indentures limit, and will limit, the amount of indebtedness that the Company
may incur. The limited availability of capital may affect the Company's ability
to acquire additional assets. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital
Resources."
SUBSCRIBER TURNOVER
The results of operations of paging service providers such as the Company
may be significantly affected by subscriber cancellations. In order to realize
net growth in pagers in service, disconnected users must be replaced and
additional users must be added. However, the sales and marketing costs
associated with attracting new subscribers are substantial relative to the costs
of providing service to existing customers. Although the Company's current
disconnect rate is below the industry average, there can be no assurance that
the Company will not experience an increase in its subscriber cancellation rate
which may adversely affect the Company's results of operations.
COMPETITION AND TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE
The Company faces direct competition in all of its paging markets.
Competition for subscribers to the Company's paging services in most geographic
markets is based primarily on the price and quality of services offered and the
geographic area covered. Some of the Company's competitors, which include
certain national and regional paging companies and Regional Bell Operating
Companies, possess greater financial and other resources than the Company. There
can be no assurance that additional competitors will not enter markets served by
the Company or that the Company will be able to continue to compete
successfully. In addition, the telecommunications industry is characterized by
rapid technological change. Future technological advances in the industry may
result in the availability of new services or products that could compete
directly with the services and products being provided or developed by the
Company. Recent and proposed regulatory changes by the Federal Communications
Commission (the "FCC") are aimed at encouraging such new services and products.
Moreover, changes in technology could lower the cost of competitive services and
products to a level at which the Company's services and products would become
less competitive or the Company would be required to reduce the prices of its
services and products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to develop or introduce new services and products to remain competitive or that
the Company will not be adversely affected in the event of such technological
developments. See "Business."
DEPENDENCE ON SUPPLIERS
The Company does not manufacture any of the pagers used in its paging
operations. The Company buys pagers primarily from Motorola and therefore is
dependent on Motorola to obtain sufficient pager inventory for new subscriber
and replacement needs. In addition, the Company purchases terminals and
transmitters primarily from Glenayre Technologies, Inc. ("Glenayre") and thus is
dependent on Glenayre for sufficient terminals and transmitters to meet its
expansion and replacement requirements. To date, the Company has not experienced
significant delays in obtaining pagers, terminals or transmitters, but there can
be no assurance that the Company will not experience such
11
<PAGE>
delays in the future. Although the Company believes that sufficient alternative
sources of pagers, terminals and transmitters exist, there can be no assurance
that the Company would not be adversely affected if it were unable to obtain
these items from current supply sources or on terms comparable to existing
terms. See "Business -- Paging Operations."
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The paging industry is subject to regulation by the FCC and, depending on
the jurisdiction, may be regulated by state regulatory agencies. There can be no
assurance that either the FCC or those state agencies having jurisdiction over
the Company's business will not adopt regulations or take other actions that
would adversely affect the business of the Company.
RELIANCE ON SELECT GROUP OF EXECUTIVES
The Company believes that its success will depend to a significant extent on
the efforts and abilities of a relatively small group of executive personnel.
The loss of services of one or more of these key executives could adversely
affect the Company. The Company does not maintain "key man" life insurance
policies on its executives. However, the Company has entered into three-year
employment agreements, both of which expire on May 31, 1997, with Jackie R.
Kimzey, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and David J. Vucina,
the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer.
ABSENCE OF PUBLIC MARKET
There is no existing trading market for the Notes. The Company does not
intend to apply for listing of the Notes on any securities exchange. The
Underwriters have advised the Company that they currently intend to make a
market in the Notes. However, they are not obligated to do so and any such
market making may be discontinued at any time without notice. Accordingly, there
can be no assurance as to the prices or liquidity of, or trading markets for,
the Notes. The liquidity of any market for the Notes will depend upon the number
of holders of Notes, the interest of securities dealers in making a market in
the Notes, and other factors. The absence of an active market for the Notes
could adversely affect the liquidity of the Notes. Even if such a market were to
develop, the Notes could trade at prices that may be lower than their initial
offering price as a result of many factors, including prevailing interest rates
and the Company's operating results and financial condition at the time. The
liquidity of, and trading markets for, the Notes may also be adversely affected
by general declines in the market for non-investment grade debt.

<PAGE>
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering (after deducting
underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses) will be
approximately $97 million. The proceeds to the Company from the Concurrent
Offering (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering
expenses) will be approximately $111 million (approximately $128 million if the
Underwriters' over-allotment options are exercised in full). The Company intends
to apply the net proceeds of the Offerings as follows: (i) to refinance $88
million of outstanding Teletouch bank debt and accrued interest anticipated to
be outstanding at the time of the closing of the Teletouch Acquisition; (ii) to
repay $10 million in aggregate principal amount of Teletouch's 14% senior
subordinated notes due 2003; (iii) to redeem approximately $17 million in
liquidation preference of, and accrued and unpaid dividends on, Teletouch
preferred stock; (iv) to fund the $43 million cash acquisition of the Nationwide
License; (v) to pay approximately $9 million to fund the cash portion of the
purchase price of PacWest; (vi) to pay approximately $12 million to fund the
purchase price of Georgialina; (vii) to pay approximately $6 million to fund the
purchase price of VIP; and (viii) to repay approximately $23 million of
borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility. Pending the completion of the
Teletouch Acquisition, the proceeds of the Offering will be deposited with the
Escrow Agent (as defined). If the Concurrent Offering is not completed, the
Company anticipates that it will seek additional debt or equity financing. No
assurance can be given that the Company will obtain such financing. See "Risk
Factors," "Business" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."
The Credit Facility provides for borrowings of up to $125 million which bear
interest, at the Company's designation, at either (i) the greater of the
corporate base rate charged by The First National Bank of Chicago ("First
Chicago") or the Federal Funds Rate, plus a margin of up to 1.25%, or (ii) the
London Interbank Offer Rate ("LIBOR"), plus a margin of up to 2.5%. In addition,
a commitment fee is required on the revolving line of credit of .5% per annum
computed on the daily unused portion of the available loan commitment.
Borrowings are secured by all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. As of
March 31, 1996, $32 million of indebtedness was outstanding under the Credit
Facility. Immediately following the completion of the Offerings and the
application of the proceeds thereof, the Company will have approximately $9
million in borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility.
The Company anticipates that Teletouch will refinance its current $50
million credit facility with a new extended line of credit prior to the closing
of the Teletouch Acquisition. Borrowings under such new line of credit,
anticipated to be $88 million at the time of closing of the Teletouch
Acquisition, will be repaid with the net proceeds of the Offerings.

CAPITALIZATION
The following table sets forth the capitalization of the Company at March
31, 1996 on an historical basis and a pro forma basis as adjusted to reflect the
issuance of the Notes offered hereby, the sale by the Company of 4,000,000
shares of Common Stock (assuming an offering price of $29 1/4 per share) in the
Concurrent Offering (after deducting estimated offering expenses and
underwriting discounts and commissions), the application of the net proceeds
therefrom, the completion of the Pending Acquisitions and the acquisition of the
Nationwide License. This table should be read in conjunction with "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and

million, respectively.
(2) The Company has deferred payment obligations (the "Deferred Payments")
aggregating $16.7 million in respect of certain of the ProNet Completed
Acquisitions. The Deferred Payments generally are due one year from the
closing of the respective acquisitions. The Company either is required to or
has the option to issue Common Stock in lieu of cash for each Deferred
Payment.
(3) Pro Forma As Adjusted includes (i) the shares of Common Stock outstanding as
of March 31, 1996, and the 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock which will be

approximately 342,000 shares of Common Stock that may be issued in the
PacWest acquisition and (iii) approximately 2.7 million shares of Common
Stock that may be issued to Teletouch stockholders upon the completion of
the Teletouch Acquisition. See "The Teletouch Agreement." Pro Forma As
Adjusted excludes (i) options outstanding on March 31, 1996 to purchase up
to 979,395 shares of Common Stock at a weighted average exercise price of
$10.54 per share, (ii) 83,715 shares of Common Stock that have been reserved
for issuance at a purchase price equal to 85% of their fair market value
pursuant to the Company's 1994 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and (iii) up to
$16.7 million in aggregate value of shares of Common Stock that the Company
either is required to or has the option to issue in satisfaction of the
Deferred Payments.

forma consolidated statements of operations of the Company and Teletouch as if
the Teletouch Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1995, and assumes that the
Acquisitions were funded with the proceeds of the Existing Notes and the
Offerings. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed statement of
operations of the Company, excluding Teletouch, for the year ended December 31,
1995, combines the historical consolidated statement of operations of the
Company and the statements of operations of the ProNet Acquisitions as if the
ProNet Acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 1995. The accompanying unaudited
pro forma condensed statement of operations of Teletouch for the year ended
December 31, 1995, combines the historical consolidated statement of operations
of Teletouch and the statements of operations of the Teletouch Pending
Acquisitions and the Teletouch Completed Acquisitions as if the Teletouch
Pending Acquisitions and Teletouch Completed Acquisitions had occurred on
January 1, 1995.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 1996, combines
the pro forma consolidated statement of operations of the Company and the
Teletouch Acquisition as if these acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 1996,
and assumes that the acquisitions were funded with the proceeds of the Offerings
and the Existing Notes. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated statement of operations of the Company, excluding Teletouch, for
the three months ended March 31, 1996, combines the historical statement of
operations of the Company and the statements of operations of AGR, Total,
Williams and the ProNet Pending Acquisitions as if the acquisitions had occurred
on January 1, 1996. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
statement of operations of Teletouch for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
combines the historical statement of operations of Teletouch and the statements
of operations of the Teletouch Pending Acquisitions as if the acquisitions had
occurred on January 1, 1996.
The pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not purport to
represent what the Company's results of operations would have been had the
Acquisitions occurred on the dates indicated or for any future period or date.
The pro forma adjustments give effect to available information and assumptions
that management believes are reasonable. The pro forma condensed consolidated

The accompanying ProNet summary pro forma condensed consolidated statements
of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the three months
ended March 31, 1996, have been prepared by combining the pro forma results of
ProNet and Teletouch for such respective periods and reflect the following
adjustments:
(G) The pro forma adjustment to sales, general and administrative
expenses represents expenses that would not have been incurred had the
Teletouch Acquisition occurred at the beginning of the periods presented.
The cost savings relate to decreased salaries (primarily due to reductions
in senior management), office rent and professional fees.
(H) Pro forma adjustments are made to the statements of operations to
reflect additional depreciation and amortization expense based on the fair
value of the assets acquired as if the Teletouch Acquisition had occurred at
the beginning of the periods presented. Pro forma depreciation is computed
using the straight-line method over the remaining estimated useful lives of
the assets. Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method over a
15-year term.

NOTES TO SUMMARY PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(I) Interest expense is comprised of interest on the Credit Facility,
the Existing Notes, the Notes and the Deferred Payments, plus the commitment
fee on the Credit Facility. Pro forma adjustments reflect (i) the reversals
of interest expense of $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31,
1996 and $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 on debt of the
Acquisitions not assumed by the Company and (ii) increase in interest
expense due to the sale of the Notes at an assumed annual rate of 10.25%.
Interest expense on the Deferred Payments is provided as required by the
definitive agreements or letters of intent.
(J) At December 31, 1995, the Company had net operating loss
carryforwards of $11.0 million for income tax purposes that expire in years
2005 through 2011. No tax benefits were recorded because the realization of
net operating losses is not assured beyond a reasonable doubt. Therefore, a
pro forma adjustment was made to eliminate any tax benefits associated with
the Acquisitions.
The pro forma condensed consolidated financial information presented is not
necessarily indicative of either the results of operations that would have
occurred had the Acquisitions taken place at the beginning of the periods
presented or of future results of operations of the combined operations.

NOTES TO SELECTED FINANCIAL AND OPERATING DATA
(1) Assumes (i) consummation of the Offerings and the application of the net
proceeds therefrom as if each had occurred at the beginning of the
respective periods, (ii) an interest rate on the Notes of 10 1/4% and (iii)
an offering price of the Common Stock of $29 1/4 per share. Also gives
effect to the Acquisitions. In the event that the Company does not complete
the Concurrent Offering, the Company anticipates that it will seek
additional debt or equity financing. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and
Capital Resources."
(2) Service revenues consist of fixed monthly, quarterly, annual and bi-annual
service and leasing fees.
(3) Product sales include pager and paging equipment sales and other security
systems' income.
(4) Calculated by dividing pagers in service at the end of each period by the
number of employees at the end of such period presented. This calculation
excludes employees directly related to the security systems' business.
(5) ARPU-Paging (average revenue per paging unit) is calculated by dividing
paging systems' average monthly service revenues for the last quarter of the
period by the average of the number of pagers in service at the beginning of
such months.
(6) ARPU-TracPac (average revenue per TracPac unit) is calculated by dividing
security systems' service revenues for the last month in the period by the
number of TracPacs in service at the beginning of such month.
(7) Calculated by dividing the sum of the cost of pager lease and access fees
and selling, general and administrative expenses for the last month in the
period by the number of pagers in service at the beginning of such month.
(8) Cash flow from operating activities is derived from the statement of cash
flows and differs from EBITDA (as defined below) primarily due to interest
expense and changes in working capital.
(9) EBITDA is earnings before other income (expense), income taxes, depreciation
and amortization. Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest
expense. EBITDA does not represent cash flows as defined by generally
accepted accounting principles and does not necessarily indicate that cash
flows are sufficient to fund all of the Company's cash needs. EBITDA should
not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss),
cash flows from operating activities or other measures of liquidity
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
(10) Calculated by dividing EBITDA by the remainder of total revenues less cost
of products sold for the period presented.
(11) Includes communications equipment valued at $6 million associated with the
acquisition of the Nationwide License and excludes the cost of the
Acquisitions.
(12) Calculated by dividing total debt at the end of the period by EBITDA for
the 12 months ended on the last day of the period, except that the pro forma
ratio for the three months ended March 31, 1996 is based on annualized
EBITDA.
(13) The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is calculated as the sum of income
before taxes plus fixed charges, divided by fixed charges. Fixed charges
consist of interest expense including amortization of deferred financing

March 31, 1996 and on a pro forma basis for the year ended December 31, 1995
and the three months ended March 31, 1996, earnings were insufficient to
cover fixed charges by $7.6 million, $6.1 million, $22.5 million and $9.6
million, respectively.

Nationwide License as if they had occurred on March 31, 1996 and assumes
consummation of the Offerings and the application of the net proceeds
therefrom as if each had occurred on March 31, 1996. In the event that the
Company does not complete the Concurrent Offering, the Company anticipates
that it will seek additional debt or equity financing. If the Balance Sheet
Data were adjusted only for the consummation of the Offering, the
application of the net proceeds therefrom, the Pending Acquisitions, the
acquisition of the Nationwide License, and the incurrence of such additional
debt financing as may be necessary to complete such transactions, the
Company's Pro Forma As Adjusted Cash and cash equivalents, Working capital,
Total assets, Total debt, Total liabilities and Total stockholders' equity
on March 31, 1996 would have been $1.0 million, $(10.2) million, $511.3
million, $335.6 million, $368.4 million, and $142.9 million respectively.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The Company provides wireless messaging services through its paging and
security systems operations. Until 1994, paging services were provided solely to
subcribers in the healthcare industry. Beginning in 1994, the Company broadened
its operating focus through the acquisition of paging businesses serving the
general commercial marketplace. As a result of the Completed Acquisitions and
Pending Acquisitions, the Company's results of operations for prior periods may
not be indicative of future performance.
The Company is a leading provider of paging services in major metropolitan
markets in the United States and focuses its activities in five geographic
regions or communication "SuperCenters" centered around major metropolitan
markets and population corridors, which generally have the demographics, market
size, travel patterns and types of businesses that indicate significant
potential demand for the Company's products and services. The SuperCenters are
located in New York, Chicago, Houston, Charlotte and Los Angeles. Pro forma for
the Pending Acquisitions, the Company will be the fifth largest publicly traded
paging company in the United States, with approximately 1.5 million subscribers
at March 31, 1996.
In both its paging and security systems operations, the Company builds and
operates communications systems and generates revenues from the sale and lease
of pagers, Intelligent Processing Terminal ("IPT") systems and security devices
and related access fees. The Company's revenues are derived primarily from fixed
monthly, quarterly, annual and bi-annual fees charged to customers for paging
and security tracking services. While a subscriber remains in service, operating
results benefit from this recurring monthly revenue stream with minimal
requirements for additional selling expenses or other fixed costs. However,
certain variable costs such as telephone and equipment charges are directly
related to the number of pagers in service.
Each month a percentage of the customer base disconnects service for a
variety of reasons. ProNet does, however, place substantial emphasis on customer
care and quality of service and as a result its paging business currently has
one of the lowest monthly disconnect ("churn") rates in the paging industry --
approximately 2.1%, compared to an industry average of approximately 2.8%
(source: June 1995 EMCI, Inc. industry survey for the years 1990 to 1994). Churn
is the number of customers disconnecting service each month as a percentage of
the total subscriber base. Although the Company's current disconnect rate is
below the industry average, there can be no assurance that the Company will not
experience an increase in its churn rate, which may adversely affect the
Company's results of operations. The Company's monthly churn rate in the
security tracking business is lower than in its paging business -- currently
approximately 1.0%.
Currently, service revenues consist of two components -- service fees and
unit leasing fees. As the Company pursues its strategy of expanding into new
markets, increasing its coverage within its existing service areas and
broadening its customer base and distribution channels, the percentage of
customers who own and maintain ("COAM") their paging equipment rather than
leasing it from the Company is likely to increase. This, together with
competitive factors, may result in declining service revenues per subscriber
since these customers will not pay a leasing fee as part of their monthly
charge. However, the Company will not incur the capital costs related to these
COAM pagers. Additionally, average revenue per unit ("ARPU") for pagers served
through resellers is lower than for direct sales due to the wholesale rates
charged to this distribution channel. Such resellers do, however, assume all
selling, marketing, subscriber management and related costs that would otherwise
be incurred by the Company.
Product sales and costs are also likely to increase as the business mix
shifts in favor of COAM units. The Company's objective is to break even on
product sales, but it may selectively offer discounts due to promotional offers
or competitive pressures.
26
<PAGE>
The Company currently enjoys low operating costs per unit due to the
efficiency of its operations. It expects that the continued development of its
business within and around its SuperCenters will result in substantial economies
of scale and consolidation of operating and selling expenses that will help it
retain this competitive advantage.
Earnings before other income (expense), income taxes, depreciation and
amortization ("EBITDA") is a standard measure of operating performance in the
paging industry. The Company's EBITDA and cash flows from operating activities
have each grown at a compound annual rate of over 36% over the past four years.
EBITDA and cash flows from operating activities growth is expected to continue
although near term EBITDA margins may be slightly impacted by start-up costs
associated with certain SuperCenters and the buildout of existing and acquired
frequencies in its marketplaces. Non-cash and financing-related charges for the
Company's acquisition program negatively impacted earnings in 1995 and have the
potential to continue the trend in the future.
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations include the historical results of operations of the Company and the
results of operations from the respective acquisition dates of all aquisitions
completed by ProNet during 1994 and 1995. The results of the operations of
Teletouch, the ProNet Pending Acquisitions and the acquisition of the Nationwide
License are not reflected in this discussion.

(1) Net revenues represent revenues from services, rent and maintenance plus
product sales less cost of products sold.
PAGING SYSTEMS' NET REVENUES for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 increased
to $19.9 million, a 115% increase from $9.3 million for the quarter ended March
31, 1995. For the quarter ended March 31, 1996, service revenues increased to
$19.6 million, a 113% increase from $9.2 million for the comparable period in
1995. These increases are primarily attributable to a growing subscriber base
achieved through greater market penetration in existing markets and the
additions of Carrier, Metropolitan, All City, Americom, Lewis, Gold Coast,
Paging & Cellular, Apple, SigNet Raleigh, Sun, Page One, AGR, Total and Williams
(collectively, the "Acquisitions Completed since March 1995"). Pagers
27
<PAGE>
in service increased 157% to 1,039,222 at March 31, 1996 from 404,713 at March
31, 1995. The increase in pagers in service was primarily the result of the
Acquisitions Completed since March 1995. In 1994 and 1995, most of the Company's
growth in pagers in service was from acquisitions. In addition, internal growth
accounted for approximately 58,420 units during the quarter ended March 31,
1996, which represents a year over year, annualized internal growth rate of
approximately 41%. The Company believes that this internal growth rate will
continue due to ongoing commercial paging activity.
ARPU was $6.69 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 compared to $8.26 for
the quarter ended March 31, 1995. This decrease was due to a further shift in
the Company's subscriber base from leased to COAM pagers, which do not generate
leasing fees. The Company's subscriber base was 72% COAM at March 31, 1996
compared to 53% at March 31, 1995. The Company believes that ARPU will continue
to decrease, although at a slower rate, as the Company expands its reseller
operations, which tend to generate lower revenues per subscriber.
PRODUCT SALES LESS COST OF PRODUCTS SOLD was $343,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 1996, compared to $78,000 for the comparable period in 1995. The
margin increased in 1996 primarily due to increases in product sales, partially
offset by depreciation on pagers. Beginning in October 1995, the Company began
recording all purchases of pagers as part of pager equipment and depreciating
these pagers accordingly. Due to this change, management anticipates that the
margin on pager sales will increase in the short-term. Management also
anticipates that the Company's margins may vary from market to market due to
competition and other factors.
PAGING SYSTEMS' GROSS MARGIN (net revenues less cost of services) was $14.4
million (72% of paging systems' net revenues) for the three months ended March
31, 1996, compared to $7.0 million (76% of paging systems' net revenues) for the
comparable period in 1995. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of
paging systems' net revenues was due to the increased expenses related to
increased acquisition activity and the buildout of the Company's regional
SuperCenters. The Company currently anticipates that these margins will decrease
in the short term, but will increase in the future as cost efficiencies and
integration savings are achieved. The cost of services increased to $5.5 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1996, compared to $2.2 million for the
comparable period of the prior year, as a result of the increased costs of
servicing a substantially larger subscriber base resulting from both internal
growth and acquisitions.
PAGING SYSTEMS' SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES were $4.0 million (20% of
paging systems' net revenues) for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
compared to $1.6 million (17% of paging systems' net revenues) for the
comparable period of the prior year. The increase as a percentage of paging
systems' net revenues was due to the increase in the number of retail stores
(from four at March 31, 1995, to 37 at March 31, 1996), the majority of expenses
of which are sales and marketing, and increased advertising expenses. These
expenses as a percentage of paging systems' net revenues are not expected to
change significantly in the future due to the Company's focus on expanding its
retail distribution channel.
PAGING SYSTEMS' GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES were $5.2 million (26%
of paging systems' net revenues) for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, compared
to $2.8 million (30% of paging systems' net revenues) for the comparable period
in 1995. The decrease as a percentage of paging systems' net revenues was due to
savings resulting from the consolidation of certain of the Acquisitions
Completed since March 1995 into the SuperCenter structure, as well as the
increase in the number of retail store locations referred to above. While retail
stores are operated with higher sales and marketing expenses than other methods
of distribution, these expenses are at least partially offset with lower general
and administrative expenses. These expenses as a percentage of net revenues are
expected to decrease slightly over time as a result of general and
administrative expenses being amortized across a larger subscriber base as well
as savings resulting from the consolidation of acquisitions and the Company's
focus on expanding its retail distribution channel.
28
<PAGE>
PAGING SYSTEMS' DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSES for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 were $8.3 million, a 257% increase from $2.3 million for
the comparable period in 1995. The increase was primarily due to the
amortization of intangibles arising from the Acquisitions Completed since March
1995. The increase in 1996 was also due to a change in the method of recording
pager purchases in 1995. Beginning in October 1995, the Company began recording
all purchases of pagers as part of paging equipment and depreciating those
pagers accordingly. The Company expects this trend in depreciation and
amortization expenses will continue in the near term as a result of acquisitions
and continued capital investment in paging equipment to support the Company's
growth.
EBITDA for paging systems' operations was $5.3 million (26% of paging
systems' net revenues) for the three months ended March 31, 1996, compared to
$2.7 million (29% of paging systems' net revenues) for the three months ended
March 31, 1995. The decrease in EBITDA as a percentage of net revenues was
primarily the result of increased expenses related to the increased level of
acquisition activity for the three months ending March 31, 1996 compared to the
three months ending March 31, 1995 as well as the buildout of the Company's
SuperCenters. The Company believes EBITDA margins may decrease in the short term
as a result of future acquisitions of commercial paging operations, but will
thereafter increase over time as the Company integrates the acquired operations,
spreads its costs over a larger subscriber base and achieves resulting economies
of scale and operating efficiencies.

(1) Net revenues represent revenues from services, rent and maintenance plus

SECURITY SYSTEMS' NET REVENUES increased 9% to $1.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1996, from $1.4 million for the comparable period in
1995. The increase was due to the installation of six new systems since March
31, 1995, as well as expansion of and additional penetration in existing
markets. The number of TracPacs in service increased 5% to 28,409 at March 31,
1996, from 27,106 at March 31, 1995.
29
<PAGE>
PRODUCT SALES LESS COST OF PRODUCTS SOLD was $22,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996, compared to $52,000 for the comparable period in 1995. Net
product sales fluctuate depending on the type and volume of equipment sold. The
Company does not anticipate significantly increasing this area of security
systems' operations.
SECURITY SYSTEMS' GROSS MARGIN was $1.2 million (81% of security systems'
net revenues) for the three months ended March 31, 1996, compared to $1.1
million (82% of security systems' net revenues) for the comparable period in
1995. The Company anticipates that these margins will decrease slightly in the
near future as more systems are installed in new or existing markets, but will
increase over time as more subscribers are added to new or existing systems.
SECURITY SYSTEMS' SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES were $83,000 (6% of security
systems' net revenues) for the three months ended March 31, 1996, compared to
$71,000 (5% of security systems' net revenues) for the comparable period in
1995. The Company currently anticipates hiring additional management in the near
future which should increase sales and marketing expenses at or slightly above
the rate of growth in security systems' net revenues, therefore increasing
slightly as a percentage of these revenues.
SECURITY SYSTEMS' GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES were $179,000 (12% of
security systems' net revenues) for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
compared to $189,000 (14% of security systems' net revenues) for the comparable
period in 1995. This decrease in general and administrative expenses was the
result of the decreased corporate overhead as a result of the Company's expanded
paging operations. The Company currently believes that general and
administrative expenses will grow at a slower rate than security systems' net
revenues and therefore should represent a decreasing percentage of such
revenues.
SECURITY SYSTEMS' DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSES are better
expressed as a percentage of service revenues since product sales do not require
any capital investment. Depreciation and amortization expenses for security
systems' operations were $396,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 (27% of
security systems' service revenues), compared to $416,000 (32% of security
systems' service revenues) for the comparable period in 1995. These decreases
were a result of certain fixed assets that were fully depreciated in 1995. The
Company believes that depreciation and amortization expenses will increase in
the near future due to planned increases in capital expenditures, primarily the
installation of several new systems.
EBITDA for the security systems' operations was $943,000 (64% of security
systems' net revenues) for the three months ended March 31, 1996, compared to
$847,000 (63% of security systems' net revenues) for the same period in 1995.
This increase was primarily due to increases in net revenues and decreases in
general and administrative expenses as described above.

- ------------------------
(1) Net revenues represent revenues from services, rent and maintenance plus
product sales less cost of products sold.
PAGING SYSTEMS' NET REVENUES increased in each of the last three years
compared to prior years. These increases were attributable primarily to a
growing subscriber base achieved through greater market penetration in existing
markets and the additions of the acquired operations. Net revenues increased to
$51.3 million in 1995 from $27.9 million in 1994 and from $15.6 million in 1993.
These increases were primarily due to a 142% increase in pagers to 856,302 at
December 31, 1995, from 353,830 at December 31, 1994 and a 172% increase at
December 31, 1994 from 130,000 at December 31, 1993. The increase in pagers in
service was primarily due to the ProNet Completed Acquisitions. In addition,
internal growth accounted for approximately 128,772 and 38,000 units during 1995
and 1994, respectively, which represents annualized internal growth rates of
approximately 36% and 16%. The Company believes that this internal growth rate
will continue due to ongoing commercial paging activity.
ARPU was $6.57, $8.51 and $10.23 for the quarters ended December 31, 1995,
1994, and 1993, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to the acquisition
and growth of commercial paging businesses, which traditionally have lower ARPU
than healthcare operations since most commercial pagers are COAM and do not
generate leasing fees. The Company believes that ARPU will continue to decrease,
although at a slower rates upon completion of the Pending Acquisitions, as the
Company continues to become more involved in the commercial paging business and
expands its reseller operations (which tend to generate lower revenues per
subscriber).
PRODUCT SALES LESS COST OF PRODUCTS SOLD was $542,000 in 1995, ($99,000) in
1994 and $760,000 in 1993. The margin increased in 1995 primarily due to the
increase in product sales, partially offset by depreciation on pagers. Beginning
in the quarter ending December 31, 1995, the Company began recording all
purchases of pagers as a part of pager equipment and depreciating these pagers
accordingly. This change resulted in a decrease in cost of products sold in 1995
of approximately $156,000. The margin decreased in 1994 from 1993 due to the
addition of commercial operations, which tend to have lower margins than were
achieved prior to 1994 in the healthcare industry. Due to the change in the
method of recording pagers in the fourth quarter of 1995, management anticipates
that the
31
<PAGE>
margins on pager sales will increase in the short-term as a full year of the
pager purchases are depreciated. Management also anticipates that margins may
vary from market to market due to competition and other factors.
RECLASSIFICATION OF COSTS. During 1994, the Company restructured its
technical, sales and operational functions into its decentralized SuperCenter
strategy. To reflect this restructuring financially, certain costs that were
previously classified as cost of services and sales and marketing expenses in
1994 were reclassified to general and administrative expenses in 1995. In the
aggregate, costs of services, sales and marketing expenses and general and
administrative expenses increased by 88% and 79% for the years ended December
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, compared to the respective years ended December
31, 1994 and 1993 as a result of the Company's internal growth and acquisitions.
In total, these costs were $36.2 million (71% of paging systems' net revenues)
for the year December 31, 1995, compared to $19.2 million (69% of paging
systems' net revenues) and $10.8 million (69% of paging systems' net revenues)
for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The increase in
these costs as a percentage of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995
from the comparable periods in 1994 and 1993 was the result of increased
expenses related to the buildout of the Company's regional SuperCenters. These
expenses as a percentage of net revenues should decline in the future as
redundant operations in acquired companies are eliminated and as cost savings of
recent acquisitions are integrated into the existing SuperCenters.
PAGING SYSTEMS' GROSS MARGIN (net revenues less cost of services) increased
to $38.1 million (74% of paging systems' net revenues) in 1995 from $19.9
million (71% of paging systems' net revenues) in 1994 and from $11.5 million
(74% of paging systems' net revenues) in 1993. The increase as a percentage of
net revenues in 1995 was due to the reclassification of cost of products sold
and certain other operating expenses previously discussed. The margin on net
revenue decreased in 1994 due to the transition into the commercial paging
marketplace which resulted in lower average revenue per unit as well as a slight
loss on product sales. However, management believes that these margins will
stabilize in the future as cost efficiencies and integration savings are
achieved through acquisitions.
PAGING SYSTEMS' SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES were $7.9 million (15% of
paging systems' net revenues) in 1995, $6.5 million (23% of paging systems' net
revenues) in 1994 and $3.7 million (24% of paging systems' net revenues) in
1993. The decrease as a percentage of paging systems' net revenues in 1995 was
due to the reclassification of certain operating expenses described above. These
expenses are not expected to change significantly as a percentage of paging
systems' net revenues.
PAGING SYSTEMS' GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES were $15.0 million (29%
of paging systems' net revenues) in 1995, $4.7 million (17% of paging systems'
net revenues) in 1994 and to $2.9 million (19% of paging systems' net revenues)
in 1993. The increase as a percentage of net revenues in 1995 was due to the
reclassification of certain operating expenses as previously discussed. The
decrease as a percentage of net revenues from 1993 to 1994 was due to savings
resulting from the consolidation of certain of the ProNet Completed
Acquisitions' paging operations into the SuperCenter structure. The Company
anticipates that paging systems' general and administrative expenses will
continue to grow, but at a lesser rate than increases in paging systems' net
revenues, as a result of general and administrative expenses being amortized
across a larger subscriber base as well as savings resulting from the
consolidation of acquisitions.
PAGING SYSTEMS' DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSES are better expressed
as a percentage of service revenues since product sales do not require any
capital investment. Paging systems' depreciation and amortization expenses were
$17.1 million, $7.0 million and $3.3 million in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively, which as a percentage of paging systems' service revenue are 34%
for 1995, 25% for 1994 and 22% in 1993. The increase was primarily due to the
amortization of intangibles arising from certain of the ProNet Completed
Acquisitions. The increase in 1995 was also due to a change in the method of
recording pager purchases in 1995. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 1995, the
Company began recording all purchases of pagers as part of paging equipment and
depreciating these pagers accordingly. Pagers previously classified as
inventories in the prior year financial statements have
32
<PAGE>
been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation. This change
resulted in an increase in depreciation expense in 1995 of approximately
$536,000. The Company expects that this trend in depreciation and amortization
expenses as a percentage of paging systems' service revenues will continue in
the near term as a result of acquisitions and continued capital investment in
paging equipment to support the Company's growth.
EBITDA for the paging systems' operations was approximately $15.1 million
(29% of paging systems' net revenues), $8.7 million (31% of paging systems' net
revenues) and $4.9 million (31% of paging systems' net revenues) for 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively. The decrease in EBITDA as a percentage of net revenues
in 1995 from 1994 was the result of increased expenses related to the buildout
of the Company's SuperCenters. The Company believes that EBITDA margin may
decrease in the short term as a result of internal growth and future
acquisitions of commercial paging operations, but will thereafter increase over
time as the Company integrates the acquired operations and achieves resulting
economies of scale and operating efficiencies.

</TABLE>
- ------------------------
(1) Net revenues represent revenues from services, rent and maintenance plus
product sales less cost of products sold.
SECURITY SYSTEMS' NET REVENUES increased in each of the last three years.
These increases were attributable primarily to the installation of new systems
in each year, as well as further market penetration in existing markets. The
Company installed three systems in 1995, two in 1994 and four in 1993. The
number of TracPacs in service at the end of 1995 was 27,548, a minimal decrease
compared to the end of 1994. The number of TracPacs in service at the end of
1994 was 27,595, an increase of 7% over the end of 1993.
PRODUCT SALES LESS COST OF PRODUCTS SOLD was $73,000 in 1995 compared to
$94,000 and $324,000 in 1994 and 1993, respectively. Net product sales fluctuate
depending on the type and volume of equipment sold. The Company does not
anticipate significantly increasing this area of security systems operations.
SECURITY SYSTEMS' GROSS MARGIN was $4.2 million (78% of security systems'
net revenues) in 1995, $3.9 million (76% of security systems' net revenues) in
1994 and $3.7 million (79% of security systems' net revenues) in 1993. The
increase as a percentage of net revenues in 1995 was due to additional
33
<PAGE>
product sales in the first quarter. The decrease as a percentage of net revenues
in 1994 from 1993 was due to profitable production work on earlier research and
development contracts that was completed in 1993. The Company anticipates that
these margins will decrease slightly in the near future as more systems are
installed in new or existing markets, but will increase over time as more
subscribers are added to new or existing systems.
SECURITY SYSTEMS' SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES were $319,000 (6% of security
systems' net revenues) in 1995, $207,000 (4% of security systems' net revenues)
in 1994 and $314,000 (7% of security systems' net revenues) in 1993. The
increase in 1995 was the result of hiring additional personnel to accelerate the
growth of security systems' net revenues. The decrease in 1994 was due to the
movement of certain personnel to paging systems. The Company anticipates hiring
additional management in the near future which should increase sales and
marketing expenses at or slightly above the rate of growth in security systems'
net revenues, therefore increasing slightly as a percentage of these revenues.
SECURITY SYSTEMS' GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES were $631,000 (12% of
security systems' net revenues) in 1995, $676,000 (13% of security systems' net
revenues) in 1994 and $871,000 (19% of security systems' net revenues) in 1993.
The decrease in 1995 and 1994 as a percentage of net revenues was a result of
decreased corporate overhead due to the Company's expanded paging operations.
The Company believes that general and administrative expenses will grow at a
slower rate than security systems' net revenues and therefore should represent a
decreasing percentage of such revenues.
SECURITY SYSTEMS' DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSES are better
expressed as a percentage of service revenues since product sales do not require
any capital investment. Security systems' depreciation and amortization expenses
were $1.5 million (29% of security systems' service revenues), $1.6 million (31%
of security systems' service revenues) and $1.3 million (30% of security
systems' service revenues) in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The decrease in
depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of service revenues in
1995 from 1994 primarily resulted from increasing revenues in 1995. The Company
believes that depreciation and amortization expenses will increase in the near
future due to planned increases in capital expenditures, primarily the
installation of several new systems.
EBITDA for security systems' operations was $3.2 million (60% of security
systems' net revenues) in 1995, $3.1 million (59% of security systems' net
revenues) in 1994 and $2.5 million (54% of security systems' net revenues) in
1993. These increases were primarily due to increases in net revenues and
decreases in general and administrative expenses as described above.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Other income (expense) includes interest income generated from short-term
investments and interest expense incurred. The period-to-period fluctuations in
interest expense have resulted primarily from the issuance of the Existing Notes
and changes in the outstanding amounts under the Credit Facility. Interest
expense increased in the first quarter of 1996 primarily as a result of interest
due on the Existing Notes and increased borrowings under the Credit Facility.
Interest expense is expected to increase in the future as a result of interest
due on additional borrowings under the Credit Facility and the issuance of the
Notes.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
At December 31, 1995, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
$11.0 million for income tax purposes that expire in years 2005 through 2011.
For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the differences between the U.S.
Federal statutory tax rate and the effective rate in the Company's historical
financial statements reflect the amortization of goodwill related to stock
acquisitions, which is not deductible for tax purposes, additional compensation
expense (for tax purposes) for certain sales of Common Stock acquired through
incentive stock options and an allowance provided against the current year
operating loss which may not be realizable within the statutory time frame.
34
<PAGE>
The Company anticipates that in the future the primary difference between the
statutory and effective rates will continue to be the amortization of goodwill
related to stock acquisitions. Further, the Company does not anticipate
recording any tax benefit in the near future from the net operating losses
because the realization of such tax benefits are not assured beyond a reasonable
doubt.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During 1995 and 1996, the Company financed the majority of its growth, other
than acquisitions, through internally generated funds. Net cash provided by
operating activities was $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
compared to $(344,000) for the comparable period in 1995. The increase in net
cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to increases in
depreciation and amortization, the provision for losses on accounts receivable,
and trade payables and other accrued expenses and liabilities and a decrease in
inventories, offset by an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in net
income. The acquisitions of Signet Charlotte, Carrier, Metropolitan and All City
in 1995 were financed with borrowings under the Credit Facility. Proceeds from
the sale of the Existing Notes were used to repay all indebtedness outstanding
under the Credit Facility and to fund the acquisitions of Americom, Lewis, Gold
Coast, Paging & Cellular and Apple in 1995. The Company funded $7.3 million of
the cash required for the acquisitions of Sun, SigNet Raleigh, Page One, AGR,
Total and Williams in 1996 with proceeds from the sale of the Existing Notes and
funded the remaining amounts with borrowings under the Credit Facility. The
Company anticipates that its ongoing capital needs, including the Pending
Acquisitions and the purchase of the Nationwide License, will be funded with
proceeds from the Offerings. The Company anticipates amending the Credit
Facility to extend the maturity and to increase the amount of available credit
to $300 million thereunder.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
As of March 31, 1996, the Company had invested $79.2 million in system
equipment and pagers for its major metropolitan markets and $12.3 million in
system equipment and TracPacs for its 32 security systems.
Capital expenditures for paging systems' equipment were $5.3 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to $599,000 for the comparable period
in 1995 (excluding assets acquired pursuant to the Acquisitions Completed since
March 1995), primarily due to expansion of the Company's commercial paging
operations in Philadelphia. Capital expenditures for security systems' equipment
and TracPacs for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were $496,000 compared to
$328,000 for the comparable period in 1995.
At March 31, 1996, the Company had invested $2.2 million in inventories,
compared to $1.6 million at December 31, 1995. The increase was a result of
higher security systems inventory in 1996 for planned installations of new
security systems in the second quarter of 1996. Inventory balances are expected
to decline slightly as the new systems are installed.
Except for those assets acquired through acquisitions, the Company expects
to meet its capital requirements in 1996 with cash generated from operations.
Although the Company had no material binding commitments to acquire capital
equipment at March 31, 1996, the Company anticipates capital expenditures for
the remainder of 1996 to be $19.0 million (of which $6.0 million is attributable
to system equipment associated with the Nationwide License) for the purchase of
system equipment for its current paging systems' operations and $1.6 million for
the manufacture of TracPacs and the purchase of system equipment for its
security systems' operations.
CREDIT FACILITY
The Credit Facility is a $125 million revolving line of credit which, in
February 1997, will convert to a five and one-half year term loan maturing in
July 2002. The term loan may be repaid at any time and will be payable in
quarterly installments, based on the principal amount outstanding on the
35
<PAGE>
conversion date, in amounts ranging from 3.25% initially to 5.75% over five and
one-half years. The Company anticipates amending the Credit Facility to extend
the maturity and to increase the amount of available credit to $300 million.
EXISTING NOTES
In June 1995 the Company completed an offering of $100 million principal
amount of its Existing Notes. Proceeds to the Company from the sale of the
Existing Notes, after deducting discounts, commissions and offering expenses,
were approximately $95.6 million. The Company used approximately $49.4 million
of the net proceeds to repay all indebtedness outstanding under the Credit
Facility. The Company has used the remaining proceeds to pursue the Company's
acquisition strategy, to purchase frequency rights, to make capital expenditures
for buildout of the Company's regional paging systems and for enhanced services
and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Existing Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and are
subordinated to all existing and future senior debt of the Company. The Existing
Notes Indenture provides that the Company may not incur any debt that is
subordinate in right of payment to senior debt and senior in right of payment to
the Existing Notes. The Existing Notes Indenture also contains certain covenants
that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries
to incur indebtedness, pay dividends, engage in transactions with affiliates,
sell assets and engage in certain other transactions. Interest on the Existing
Notes is payable in cash semi-annually on each June 15 and December 15,
commencing December 15, 1995. The Existing Notes will not be redeemable at the
Company's option prior to June 15, 2000.
ACQUISITIONS
In 1993, the Company announced its plans to commence a program of acquiring
businesses that serve the commercial paging market and offer operational
synergies when integrated within the Company's SuperCenters. During 1994, the
Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Contact Communications,
Inc. ("Contact"), substantially all of the paging assets of Radio Call Company,
Inc. ("Radio Call") and High Tech Communications Corp. ("High Tech") and
substantially all of the Chicago-area paging assets of the RCC division of
Chicago Communication Service, Inc. ("ChiComm"), for $19.0 million, $7.8
million, $900,000 and $9.8 million, respectively. In 1995, the Company acquired
the paging assets of Signet Charlotte, Carrier, All City, Americom, Lewis, Gold
Coast and Paging & Cellular and all the outstanding capital stock of
Metropolitan and Apple for $9.0 million, $6.5 million, $6.4 million, $17.5
million, $5.6 million, $2.3 million, $9.5 million, $21.0 million and $13.0
million, respectively. In the first quarter of 1996, the Company acquired
substantially all of the paging assets of Sun for $2.3 million and SigNet
Raleigh for $8.7 million and all of the outstanding capital stock of Page One
for $19.7 million, AGR for $6.5 million, Total for $2.2 million and Williams for
$2.7 million. The 19 completed acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and
funded by borrowings under the Credit Facility, proceeds from the sale of the
Existing Notes and issuances of shares of Common Stock. In 1996, the Company
signed letters of intent or definitive agreements with Georgialina, PacWest,
Teletouch and VIP and agreed to acquire the Nationwide License. The Pending
Acquisitions are expected to close in 1996 for an approximate aggregate cost of
$229.5 million. A portion of the Pending Acquisitions will be funded with
proceeds of the Offerings. The Pending Acquisitions and the acquisition of the
Nationwide License are subject to various conditions and approvals.
At March 31, 1996, the Company had deferred payments outstanding related to
the All City (which was paid effective May 1, 1996), Americom, Lewis, SigNet
Raleigh and Page One acquisitions which are due and payable one year from the
closing of the respective transactions. The balances are payable, at the
Company's obligation or discretion, either in cash or shares of the Company's
Common Stock based on current market value at the date of payment.
In January 1996, the Company paid in cash the $200,000 deferred portion of
the purchase price of High Tech. In February and April 1996, the Company issued
a total of 172,535 shares of its Common
36
<PAGE>
Stock and paid in cash $13,000 to Signet Charlotte for the $4.2 million deferred
portion of the purchase price of Signet Charlotte. In March 1996, the Company
issued 114,994 shares of Common Stock to Carrier in payment of the $3.0 million
deferred portion of the purchase price of Carrier.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In the first quarter of 1996, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." Adoption of this
statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
ProNet is one of the fastest growing providers of wireless messaging
services in the United States. The Company's subscriber base has grown through
both acquisitions and internal growth at annual rates of 14%, 172% and 142% in
1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively. Over this time period, the Company has
migrated its business focus from servicing primarily the healthcare industry to
broader commercial and retail markets. Since March 1, 1994, the Company has
completed 19 acquisitions, adding 678,200 subscribers. Additionally, the Company
has focused on and generated internal growth in its paging subscriber base of
36% and 41% for the 12 months ended December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996,
respectively. Upon completion by the Company of the Teletouch Acquisition, the
acquisition of the Nationwide License and the other Pending Acquisitions
described herein, the Company will be the fifth largest publicly traded paging
company in the United States, with approximately 1.5 million subscribers at
March 31, 1996.
Upon completion of the Pending Acquisitions and the acquisition of the
Nationwide License, the Company will offer local, regional and nationwide paging
services in 25 states covering 72% of the population of the United States. The
Company has focused its business development around five geographic regions
serviced by communication "SuperCenters" which are located in Charlotte,
Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles and New York. This geographically concentrated
operating and expansion strategy allows the Company to develop regional critical
mass, undertake cost-effective incremental expansion and selectively access
markets which feature the size, growth rates, demographic groups, types of
businesses and competitive dynamics that indicate significant potential demand
for the Company's current and future products and services. In addition, by
developing a heavy concentration of subscribers in each geographic region, the
Company is able to maintain one of the lowest cost operating structures in the
paging industry.
The Company believes that it has solidified its position as one of the
leading wireless messaging providers in the United States with the execution in
April 1996 of definitive agreements to purchase the Nationwide License and to
acquire Teletouch, both of which will enhance and augment the Company's
SuperCenter expansion strategy. The acquisition of the Nationwide License will
provide the Company with the ability to use an exclusive nationwide frequency as
a platform to expand on a cost-effective basis into attractive markets within
and contiguous to the Company's SuperCenters. The Nationwide License will also
position the Company to develop regional and national distribution alliances
with a variety of other communications service providers. In addition, the
Nationwide License allows the Company the flexibility to focus on acquisition
candidates that offer distribution enhancements, economies of scale and market
expansion opportunities rather than acquisitions that would supplement the
Company's spectrum resources.
With 310,720 subscribers (pro forma for the Teletouch Pending Acquisitions),
Teletouch is a geographically concentrated provider of paging services in
medium-sized markets in the southern United States (Alabama, Arkansas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas). Teletouch
enjoys a leading position in its markets, which generally are subject to less
competition than major metropolitan centers. Teletouch subscribers generate
higher ARPU than is considered typical for larger, more competitive metropolitan
markets. The Company believes that the Teletouch Acquisition will strengthen the
Company's competitive position in the southern United States as a result of
increased scale, expanded contiguous signal and sales coverage and increased
retail distribution. Management also believes that the Teletouch Acquisition
will strengthen ProNet's position as a low cost provider because (i) the
resulting increase in the subscriber base of the Company's Houston and Charlotte
SuperCenters will allow the Company to benefit from significant operating
leverage and (ii) the integration of Teletouch's operating and administrative
functions will allow for the removal of redundant overhead costs.

BACKGROUND
The Company was founded in 1982 and, prior to March 1994, provided paging
services solely to the healthcare industry. By utilizing proprietary
technologies to manage the under-served market of both the in-house and
wide-area paging requirements of hospitals, the Company quickly became the
premier provider of customized, enhanced wireless services to healthcare
institutions in all of its major metropolitan markets. In 1988, the Company
began to apply advanced wireless technology to the security business by
marketing radio-activated electronic tracking systems to financial institutions.
As of March 31, 1996, the Company's security systems consisted of 28,409
TracPacs in service, which represented 6% of total revenues for the first
quarter of 1996. See "-- Security Systems' Operations."
In 1993, ProNet management recognized that its operating expertise combined
with its presence in key major metropolitan markets presented an opportunity to
capitalize on the growing demand for pagers among both business users and the
population at large. In order to penetrate this market, management defined and
articulated a three-phase growth plan that, over a two-year period, would
position the Company as a leading provider of wireless messaging services. In
Phase I (completed in 1995), the Company (i) identified SuperCenter locations
and initiated the construction of facilities, (ii) focused on internal growth of
its subscriber base by targeting non-medical subscribers, (iii) targeted
acquisitions that could be executed in a cost-effective manner and which
collectively would create a critical mass of subscribers in each region and (iv)
obtained debt and equity capital to fund business development. As a result of
the completion of Phase I, a substantial majority of the Company's current
customers are non-healthcare subscribers. Phase II, initiated in 1994, includes
(i) the completion of the construction of SuperCenter facilities, (ii) the
efficient integration of acquisitions into SuperCenter operations, (iii) the
identification of acquisitions that complement existing operations and (iv)
emphasis on internal growth of the enlarged subscriber base. The Company
believes that Phase II will be substantially complete by mid 1996.
Phase III, initiated in the fourth quarter of 1995, seeks to capitalize on
the critical mass of subscribers and the spectrum, distribution resources and
marketing expertise that the Company has built to date. Management believes that
execution of Phase III will solidify the Company's position as a leading
provider of wireless messaging services and will result in accelerated growth in
subscribers and cash flow. Key elements of the Company's strategy are outlined
below.
STRATEGY
SUPERCENTER EXPANSION. ProNet's management intends to continue to focus its
operations on specific geographic regions anchored by its five SuperCenters.
Management believes that focusing the Company's planned growth strategy around
its SuperCenters allows the Company to maximize its cash flow. All sales and
marketing, customer service and support (including billing and collections) and
technical functions are managed and executed in the SuperCenters. This strategy
allows the Company to realize the benefits of operational consolidation while
maintaining the flexibility to react to local market developments. Future
subscriber growth in each region will be generated by both
39
<PAGE>
increased penetration of existing markets and expansion of operations into areas
within and contiguous to the SuperCenters. Market expansions planned for 1996
include Philadelphia (Northeast SuperCenter), Miami, Tampa and Orlando
(Southeast SuperCenter), and San Diego (West SuperCenter). Upon completion of
the acquisition of, and future buildout for, the Nationwide License, the Company
will be able to provide customers with nationwide service and expand the
coverage of the SuperCenters to contiguous markets in a cost-effective manner.
INCREASED PENETRATION OF SELECTED DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS. ProNet utilizes a
variety of distribution channels including resellers, a direct sales force and
Company-operated retail stores. Distribution strategies and channel emphasis are
tailored to each market to accommodate varying demographics and customer and
competitive profiles. The Company focuses on developing innovative marketing
programs in what management believes are the most effective and profitable
distribution channels. Recent initiatives have placed particular emphasis on the
reseller and retail distribution channels in order to capture market share in
the rapidly growing consumer segment of the market. Developments have included
the recent introduction of a branded direct retail distribution channel, which
includes 37 locations primarily in Texas, North Carolina, Florida and Georgia,
and the initiation of the highly innovative "Partners Program" designed to
promote exclusivity and guaranteed sales levels in the reseller channel. See "--
Sales and Marketing." Upon completion of the Teletouch Acquisition and the
acquisition of the Nationwide License, ProNet's leadership role in the industry,
growing scale, network capacity and national spectrum should allow the Company
to develop attractive partnerships with businesses outside the paging industry
(such as cellular, long distance and cable operators) that are seeking to
enhance their own product offerings by marketing and reselling paging services.
The Company believes that development of this distribution channel will enhance
subscriber growth at minimal incremental cost.
SELECTIVE STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS. Historically, a substantial portion of
the growth in the Company's subscriber base has resulted from strategic
acquisitions that have enhanced the Company's geographic coverage and augmented
its frequency resources. The acquisition of the Nationwide License will
eliminate the need to seek acquisitions that would supplement the Company's
spectrum resources. The Company therefore intends to focus its acquisition
efforts on paging properties that offer primarily distribution enhancements,
economies of scale and market expansion opportunities. The Company's acquisition
strategy will encompass the selective acquisition of (i) additional companies in
existing SuperCenter regions that are complementary to existing operations and
(ii) companies with signal and market coverage contiguous to existing
SuperCenter regions. For example, the Company's recently announced PacWest
acquisition will supplement existing operations, adding subscribers to the
Company's West SuperCenter, and will provide the Company with a California-wide
network, while the Teletouch Acquisition offers expansion into new geographic
areas contiguous to operations already managed by the Company's Charlotte and
Houston SuperCenters. Through technical, operational and financial field teams,
each new acquisition is quickly and thoroughly integrated into the existing
SuperCenter operations to maximize cost savings and operating efficiencies.
Since March 1, 1994, the Company has completed the purchase of 19 paging
operations.
ENHANCED WIRELESS AND PCS SERVICES AND PRODUCTS. ProNet currently offers a
number of enhanced wireless products and services in addition to basic numeric
and alphanumeric paging services, including voice-mail, simultaneous group
paging, news and sports highlights, stock quotes, remote alpha entry and other
specialized marketing applications. The Company also offers to large corporate
accounts a proprietary IPT system that is capable of managing a company's
in-house and wide-area paging requirements within a single system. ProNet's
security systems, consisting of TracPacs, tracking receivers and the recently
announced CampusTrac, provide wireless solutions to the specialized personal
security and asset recovery needs of consumers, various governmental agencies
and business customers. See "-- Security Systems' Operations." The Company
intends to offer its customers narrowband PCS ("NPCS") voice and data services
as they become available and management is working proactively to determine
which NPCS services will have the greatest consumer appeal and what will be the
most cost-effective means of offering them to its subscribers. In this regard,
the
40
<PAGE>
Company is currently pursuing a number of strategic relationships that will
enable it to provide voice, two-way data and location identification services
without incurring the significant up-front capital costs associated with the
construction of an NPCS network. In this regard, the Company has agreed to
resell PCS Development Corporation's voice paging product when it becomes
commercially available in 1997. The Company also continues to evaluate the
benefits and costs associated with owning NPCS spectrum and may selectively bid
for spectrum in upcoming Major Trading Areas auctions. The Company's
participation in the auctions, if any, will likely be accomplished with partners
by an investment in a separately capitalized entity, which will allow the
Company to minimize its investment risk.
MANAGEMENT TEAM EXPANSION. In order to support its rapid growth, the
Company expects to continue to selectively expand its senior management team and
focus on ongoing training and career development of its mid-level managers and
field employees. Recent new hires have included senior managers at the corporate
level with direct responsibility for marketing and sales, retail development,
new market expansion and investor relations. SuperCenter management teams
encompass operations, sales and technical directors in each location. As the
Company grows, management believes that it is critical to improve the skills of
its staff, to foster teamwork and to create incentives for employees at all
levels of the Company. To achieve these goals, the Company also plans to
introduce several new training programs in 1996 designed to further enhance
management skills and to promote career progression and development.
PAGING INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Industry sources indicate that the number of pagers in service in the United
States has been growing at a compound annual rate of 26-29% over the last 10
years and that there are currently approximately 34 million pagers in service in
the United States, which represent a penetration rate of approximately 14% of
the population. This growth rate is expected to continue and industry analysts
estimate that there will be 60 million paging subscribers in the United States
by the year 2000. Factors that are expected to contribute to this growth include
(i) increasing mobility of the population, (ii) movement towards a service-based
economy, (iii) growing consumer awareness of the benefits of mobile
communications, (iv) technical advances in equipment and services offered and
(v) continuing price efficiencies in equipment and services offered. Future
technological developments in the paging industry may include new paging
services such as "confirmation" or "response" paging, which will have the
ability to send a message back from the subscriber to the paging system that
confirms the receipt of a paging message, digitized voice paging, two-way paging
and notebook and sub-notebook computer wireless data applications.
Throughout its history, the paging industry has been characterized by
substantial growth and technological change. Historically, the paging industry
has been highly fragmented, with a large number of small, local operators.
During the 1980s and early 1990s, concentration in the paging industry increased
as certain paging companies grew rapidly, either internally or through
acquisitions. As a result, based on industry sources, over 65% of the estimated
number of pagers in service in the United States are currently provided by the
10 largest companies in the industry, including ProNet. However, several
thousand other small paging companies remain in existence in the United States,
many of whom continue to provide only local paging services. The Company
believes that the paging industry will be characterized by further
consolidation, providing the Company with potential acquisition and growth
opportunities.
Over the past decade, traditional paging services have advanced rapidly from
tone-only and analog pagers to sophisticated digital alphanumeric devices.
Paralleling this product evolution and a reduction in related service and
product costs, the market for paging services has grown from a base of largely
specialized users, such as doctors and business people having time sensitive
needs, to the mass consumer market.

<PAGE>
Although the paging services industry continues to be characterized by
technological advances, certain basic characteristics are common to most one-way
paging technology. Paging provides communication links to a paging service
subscriber throughout the coverage area. Each paging subscriber is assigned a
distinct paging number which the caller dials to activate the subscriber's
pager. Depending on the type of pager in use, the subscriber may respond based
on information displayed by the pager or by calling his or her home or office to
receive the message. Compared to a cellular telephone, a pager is smaller,
lighter, has a longer battery life and, most importantly, is substantially less
expensive to use. In fact, some consumers use a pager in conjunction with or in
lieu of a cellular telephone to screen incoming calls and to lower or eliminate
the expense of cellular telephone service.
While paging has historically been a one-way communication service,
technological advances are now providing opportunities for the development of
advanced two-way wireless messaging services. With the introduction of this new
technology platform, the opportunity exists for the development of two-way,
interactive messaging services that will include "confirmation" or "response"
paging.
The wireless industry in general, and the paging industry in particular, are
expected to experience robust subscriber growth into the next decade.
Continually evolving technology in the paging industry is expected to drive
subscriber growth as users demand more sophisticated products and services. The
penetration into the mass markets is expected to continue as retail distribution
expands and as local, regional and national non-paging telecommunication service
providers seek to offer paging services to be bundled with their own products.
PAGING OPERATIONS
SUPERCENTER OPERATING MODEL
The Company has organized its operations around its five SuperCenters to
achieve (i) a high level of operating leverage, (ii) regionally-oriented
marketing and customer service, (iii) a regional management focus and (iv)
maximum efficiency from operating and engineering systems. Each SuperCenter is
led by an experienced management team including an area vice president and
directors of sales, operations and engineering. Each SuperCenter employs common
technology, operating systems and software applications to foster uniform
operating procedures that maximize operating efficiencies and operating leverage
for the Company as a whole. Overlaid on the SuperCenter structure is a national
corporate office of approximately 75 employees that focuses on maximizing the
efficiencies of the SuperCenters, setting the strategic direction of the
Company, developing new product initiatives, overseeing acquisitions, raising
capital and addressing other company-wide issues. This operating model has been
critical to the Company's ability to rapidly and successfully integrate the 19
acquisitions completed since March 1994 and to achieve one of the lowest cost
structures in the paging industry.
PAGING SERVICES
The Company currently provides various types of paging services primarily
utilizing two different types of pagers: (i) digital display pagers, which
permit a subscriber to receive a telephone number or other numeric coded
information and to store several such numeric messages that the customer can
recall when desired; and (ii) alphanumeric display pagers, which allow the
subscriber to receive and store text messages. The Company's paging systems are
equipped to provide each type of paging service in all of its markets. As of
March 31, 1996, digital display pagers accounted for more than 90% of the
Company's pagers in service.
Although the Company has historically marketed its services under a variety
of brands as a result of its acquisitions, in conjunction with the adoption of
its new corporate logo, all non-retail paging services will be marketed under
the brand "ProNet Communications." The Company believes that the adoption of a
uniform marketing logo will leverage ProNet's brand identity. New acquisitions
will be converted to this brand within 120 days after closing. The Company
intends to market its retail paging services under the name "Teletouch" upon
completion of the Teletouch Acquisition, thereby leveraging the brand identity
enjoyed by Teletouch.
42
<PAGE>
Subscribers lease or purchase pagers and pay an access fee for the Company's
paging system. Each subscriber enters into a service contract which provides for
the purchase or lease of pagers and the payment of the access fee. Volume
discounts on lease costs and access fees are typically offered to large unit
volume subscribers. The Company's contracts with large unit volume subscribers
are typically for three- to five-year terms, while contracts for smaller
subscribers are typically for one-year terms with annual renewals. The combined
lease and access fee of a single leased pager currently ranges from
approximately $3.00 to $25.00 per month, depending upon the type of pager and
the optional features selected. The Company charges a monthly access fee for
service to each COAM pager ranging from $2.00 to $15.00. As the appeal of the
paging product among non-business subscribers has grown, the Company has
expanded its reseller and retail distribution channels to capture the consumer
segment of the market.
The Company follows a strategy that focuses on selling rather than leasing
pagers and therefore incurs capital investment only with leased pagers.
Resellers and many retail subscribers tend to purchase, rather than lease,
paging equipment. As the penetration of these channels grows, the Company's ARPU
will be reduced because such subscribers will not generate leasing revenues. As
of March 31, 1996, approximately 73% of total units in service were COAM pagers,
which compares to an industry average of approximately 56%. The Company believes
that, by pursuing a COAM strategy, it can achieve significantly improved capital
efficiency and higher quality cash flows than a number of its competitors who
follow a strategy focused on purchasing pagers and then leasing them to
subscribers. The Company believes that its COAM strategy provides additional
benefits, including reduced risk of technological obsolescence, credit loss and
pager recovery, and an overall reduction in disconnect rates.

MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
The Company continues to expand and diversify its distribution channels in
order to target a broad cross-section of potential subscribers. The Company's
direct sales force primarily targets medium-sized and large corporate accounts.
As the consumer market for paging products has developed, the Company has added
significant resources to its reseller and retail distribution channels in order
to capitalize on this fast growing market segment.
DIRECT SALES FORCE. The Company recruits, trains and manages its own sales
force of 87 representatives, whom it believes are distinguished by their
extensive training and low turnover. The decentralization of the Company's sales
force gives the representatives the flexibility to react and adapt to changes
within their specific region and provides the Company with an advantage over its
competitors that operate highly centralized direct sales forces. The direct
sales force is supported
43
<PAGE>
through a variety of communications, advertising and media resources which
promote the Company's paging services through telemarketing, direct mail,
billboard, radio, print and yellow pages advertising. Referrals from existing
subscriber accounts are also solicited as sources for direct sales.
RESELLERS. In addition to offering paging services directly to end users,
the Company also provides commercial paging services indirectly through
marketing agreements with resellers. The use of this channel allows the Company
to broaden its distribution reach as resellers generally market to segments of
the population that could not be cost efficiently targeted by the Company's
direct sales force or retail channels (E.G., certain small businesses, ethnic
groups or individual consumers). Typically, the Company offers these resellers
paging services in bulk quantities at wholesale monthly rates that are lower
than the Company's regular rates through its direct sales channel. The Company's
costs of handling and billing such reseller accounts are generally lower on a
per pager basis than the costs of handling and billing its other accounts. As a
result, this sales channel generates attractive incremental cash flow and
enables the Company to increase operating efficiencies and to lower per unit
costs by amortizing its network infrastructure investment over a larger
subscriber base. In addition, because resellers bear the economic burden of
pager capital investment, direct selling expense and certain administrative
costs, management believes that the resulting cash flow stream from pagers
serviced through resellers represents an attractive return on the Company's
total capital investment. Reseller units represent approximately 51% of the
Company's subscribers on a pro forma basis at March 31, 1996.
RESELLER PROGRAMS AND ALLIANCES. The Company recently unveiled two
innovative programs aimed at creating close ties with its resellers, maximizing
penetration and minimizing churn in the reseller channel. The "Pinnacle Partner"
program targets the country's largest resellers who can generate at least 1,200
net subscriber additions per month and the "Preferred Program" is aimed at
smaller resellers generating up to 750 net subscriber additions per month. The
purpose of these programs is to capitalize on the Company's traditional strength
in the reseller channel by entering into one-year and five-year distribution
contracts with resellers that encourage the resellers to use ProNet exclusively
through preferential pricing, administrative and systems support and, for
resellers in the Pinnacle Partner program, participation in the Company's
equity. These programs are intended to commit resellers to ProNet, accelerate
subscriber growth, create distribution alliances for all products and services
and generate predictable cash flows.
RETAIL OUTLETS. The Company focuses its retail distribution on
Company-operated stores. The Company believes that this distribution channel
offers an excellent opportunity to access the general consumer marketplace and
increase subscriber penetration. The Company believes that Company-operated
stores increase "walk-in" traffic, particularly from non-business users, and
provide more extensive customer service, thus minimizing subscriber churn.
Furthermore, the Company believes that its stores are generally less costly to
establish than centralized office locations. This retail strategy enables the
Company to enter new markets or expand in existing markets with lower initial
capital expenditures and start-up costs. The Company operated 37 stores at March
31, 1996 and intends to expand this distribution channel aggressively.
REGIONAL AND NATIONAL ALLIANCES. The Company intends to utilize the
Nationwide License and the Company's ability to offer national spectrum and
presence to focus on developing regional and super-regional alliances and
distribution relationships with large retailers and resellers with broad
geographic focus. Management believes that the addition of nationwide spectrum
through the acquisition of the Nationwide License will allow the Company to
develop attractive relationships with businesses outside the paging industry,
such as telephone companies, cellular companies, cable distributors and other
communications-related businesses with significant monthly revenue-generating
subscriber bases, that may seek to enhance their own product offerings by
marketing and reselling paging services.
44
<PAGE>
ACQUISITIONS
In 1993, as part of its overall strategy to capitalize on the growing demand
for pagers among commercial users and consumers in general, the Company
announced its plan to commence acquiring paging businesses within and contiguous
to its SuperCenters. Since this announcement, the Company has purchased or
entered into agreements to purchase the paging operations described below:

as applicable.
(2) Paging & Cellular was the Company's largest reseller, serving more than
40,000 subscribers in Texas.
(3) Includes the Teletouch Pending Acquisitions.
The Company employs a variety of criteria in evaluating acquisitions of
commercial paging businesses. An ideal acquisition candidate is located in a
growth area within or contiguous to one or more of the Company's targeted
regions and demonstrates a number of the following operating characteristics:
excellent spectrum resources; good distribution channel penetrations; the
potential for rapid subscriber growth once managed by ProNet; and the
opportunity to achieve operating and financial efficiencies when integrated into
the SuperCenters. Following completion of an acquisition,
45
<PAGE>
the Company has achieved and will continue to seek to achieve such efficiencies
by consolidating staff, eliminating duplicative overhead and integrating the
acquired billing, collections and related operations into the SuperCenters and
common information system. While the Company's policy is to fully integrate new
acquisitions into its SuperCenters within a 150-day period, in many cases, the
Company has been able to substantially integrate acquisitions within 90 days.
The Company believes that many opportunities remain for it to acquire commercial
paging companies and to achieve economies of scale and greater penetration
within selected regions in the United States.
THE TELETOUCH ACQUISITION
On April 16, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger
(the "Teletouch Agreement") with Teletouch, a publicly traded paging company,
whereby the Company will acquire Teletouch for approximately $192 million
(consisting of the issuance of approximately $80 million in Common Stock, the
assumption of approximately $95 million in indebtedness, net of cash acquired,
and the redemption of approximately $17 million in preferred stock). See "The
Teletouch Agreement." Teletouch and its various predecessor corporations have
held FCC licenses and operated paging operations and two-way mobile
communications services in Texas since 1967. On December 21, 1994, Teletouch
completed an initial public offering, the proceeds of which were used in part to
finance Teletouch's acquisition of Beepers Plus and Waco. Pro forma for such
acquisitions, Teletouch provided service to 56,000 subscribers at the time of
its initial public offering. On August 3, 1995, Teletouch completed the
acquisition of Dial-A-Page, an Arkansas-based paging provider with approximately
100,000 subscribers located in Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri, North Florida,
North Texas, and Tennessee. The acquisition increased Teletouch's subscriber
base to approximately 164,000. Pro forma for the completion of the Teletouch
Pending Acquisitions, Teletouch would have had 310,720 pagers in service at
March 31, 1996 and would have generated approximately $3.6 million in EBITDA for
its fiscal quarter ended February 28, 1996.
The Teletouch Acquisition will allow ProNet to expand into markets
contiguous to its South Central and Southeastern SuperCenters and will give the
Company a leading presence in medium-sized markets that have substantial growth
potential, but in which it would be costly to construct a new system.
THE ACQUISITION OF THE NATIONWIDE LICENSE
On April 19, 1996, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to
purchase the Nationwide License and certain related assets for $43 million in
cash. The Nationwide License is a nationwide one-way paging license on the
931.9125 MHz frequency covering the United States and Canada. Such related
assets include approximately 400 transmitters in 200 metropolitan markets. The
Company expects to be able to enhance significantly the coverage of the
Nationwide License with minimal incremental capital spending by adding the
nationwide frequency to its existing local transmitters.
The Company will utilize the Nationwide License to provide a variety of
paging services. The acquisition of the Nationwide License provides the Company
with a national geographic footprint. Management believes that in addition to
having the ability to efficiently expand within and around the SuperCenters, the
Nationwide License will enhance the Company's ability to develop attractive
partnerships with potential national and super-regional distribution and
reseller partners. The national spectrum provides the Company the opportunity to
market its own nationwide paging services rather than reselling those of others
while avoiding the potential negative impact of any regulatory freeze or delay
in the issuance of new paging licenses in both Canada and the United States.
NETWORK DESIGN AND SOURCES OF EQUIPMENT AND PAGERS
As part of its paging operations, the Company sells, leases and repairs
pagers. In developing its paging systems, the Company seeks to achieve optimal
building penetration and wide-area coverage. Paging services are initiated when
a telephone call is placed to a paging terminal. These state-of-the-art
terminals, which the Company maintains within its SuperCenters, have a modular
design that allows significant future expansion by adding or replacing modules
rather than replacing the entire terminal.
46
<PAGE>
The Company does not manufacture any of the transmitting and computer
equipment or pagers used in providing its paging services, but instead purchases
such equipment and pagers from multiple sources. The Company anticipates that
such equipment and pagers will continue to be available in the foreseeable
future, subject to normal manufacturing and delivery lead times. Because of the
high degree of compatibility among different models of transmitters, computers
and other paging equipment manufactured by multiple suppliers, the Company is
able to design its systems without depending upon any single source of
equipment. The Company continuously evaluates new developments in paging
technology in connection with the design and enhancement of its paging systems
and the selection of products and services to be offered to its subscribers.
In order to achieve significant cost savings from volume purchases, the
Company currently purchases substantially all its pagers from Motorola. The
Company purchases its transmitters from two competing sources and its paging
terminals from Glenayre, a manufacturer of mobile communications equipment. The
paging system equipment in existing markets has significant capacity for future
growth.
COMPETITION
The Company faces direct competition in all of its paging markets.
Competition for subscribers to the Company's paging services is based primarily
upon the quality and price of services offered and the geographic area covered.
The Company competes by emphasizing its commitment to customer service, the
reliability and performance of its paging systems and its status as a low-cost
provider of paging services.
Competitors in most markets include one or more radio common carriers,
private radio carriers, telephone company affiliates and equipment
manufacturers. Although competitors include small, privately-owned companies
serving only one market area, others are publicly-held corporations and other
large companies that have greater financial resources than the Company.
The Company's strategy is to target users of local and regional paging
services. The Company also resells nationwide paging services if required by its
customers. Many publicly-held corporations and other large companies in the
paging industry are increasingly focusing upon providing nationwide paging
services, while many smaller, privately-owned competitors lack the financial and
managerial resources and economies of scale to compete effectively with the
Company in providing metropolitan and regional paging services. As a result,
while competition in the market for metropolitan and/or regional paging services
remains intense, the Company believes that its regional strategy has positioned
the Company to compete most effectively with both large and small paging firms.
A variety of wireless two-way communication technologies, including cellular
telephones and personal communications services, are currently in use or under
development. Although these technologies currently are more highly priced than
paging services or are not commercially available, technological improvements
could result in increased capacity and efficiency for wireless two-way
communication and, accordingly, could result in increased competition for the
Company. In addition, future technological advances in the telecommunications
industry could create new services or products competitive with the paging
services currently provided by the Company. Recent and proposed regulatory
changes by the FCC are aimed at encouraging such technological advances and new
services, such as NPCS, which will increase the amount of spectrum available for
paging or similar services. Moreover, changes in technology could lower the cost
of competitive services and products to a level at which the Company's services
and products would become less competitive or the Company would be required to
reduce the prices of its services and products. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to develop or introduce new services and products to
remain competitive or that the Company would not be adversely affected in the
event of such technological developments.
SECURITY SYSTEMS' OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Company's security systems' services are provided through the Company's
wholly owned subsidiary, Electronic Tracking Systems Inc., which operates under
the name of ProNet Tracking Systems. The Company markets radio-activated
electronic tracking security systems primarily to
47
<PAGE>
financial institutions throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. The systems
consist of TracPacs, which are disguised in items of value. When such an item is
removed from a financial institution without authorization, the TracPac signals
the appropriate law enforcement authorities, who in turn follow the signal
generated by the TracPac to recover the item and apprehend the suspect.
The underlying technology of paging and security systems is essentially the
same; the security systems employ paging technology in reverse order. A tracking
network consists of a series of receivers within a geographic area that receive
signals from the TracPac, while a paging network consists of a system of
transmitters within a geographic area that sends signals to a receiver (the
pager). The Company owns the security systems' receiving equipment and TracPacs
and leases the TracPacs to its customers for a monthly fee.
The Company presently operates 29 security systems in 23 major metropolitan
markets within the United States and Puerto Rico. The Company had 28,409
TracPacs under lease to its customers as of March 31, 1996. The Company expects
to expand its security systems' operations within the Company's current markets
and to expand into new geographic markets in the United States. The Company is
also exploring expansion opportunities in foreign markets.
In March 1996, the Company unveiled its strategy to expand its product line
to target the personal security market. The first product to be offered will be
CampusTrac (to be launched in 1998), which will provide affordable security
tracking on university campuses. The Company believes that there is substantial
demand for security and location services and that its established presence in
the messaging and tracking markets will afford it a competitive advantage.
MARKETING
When the Company expands into a new market, it typically enters into an
agreement and establishes a close working relationship with the local law
enforcement authorities to install receiving equipment, conduct officer training
and provide system maintenance at no cost to the authorities. In return, the
authorities monitor the systems 24 hours a day and provide all necessary
telephone lines and the facilities for the management of the receiving
equipment. The ability to enter a market depends upon the cooperation of the
local law enforcement authorities, the willingness of local financial
institutions to evaluate and test the security systems, and the size and
complexity of the security coverage area.
The Company markets its security systems directly to banks, savings
institutions, credit unions and other financial institutions and to retail
operations that maintain valuables that may present a security risk. A full- or
part-time employee in each market is responsible for local service, customer and
police training and demonstrations. In its marketing, the Company emphasizes
improved recovery rates of stolen property, improved criminal apprehension
rates, related crime rate reduction through apprehension of repeat offenders,
and the direct alarm interface to the local law enforcement authorities.
COMPETITION
The Company is unaware of any product that is substantially similar to or
competes directly with the TracPac. The TracPac's primary indirect competition
consists of "gas and dye" packs that, upon being taken from a building, are
triggered and explode, emitting tear gas and dye. The Company also competes with
other forms of security such as video cameras, security guards, bandit barriers
and silent alarm systems. The Company believes that its TracPac product is
superior to other forms of security because of the direct interface with the
local law enforcement authorities and its proven record of asset recovery and
related crime rate reduction.
SOURCES OF EQUIPMENT
All equipment used in the security systems business is assembled by the
Company with some sub-assemblies manufactured to Company specifications by
outside vendors. The materials required for TracPacs and other tracking
equipment are readily available from several sources.

The Company anticipates that, upon consummation of the Teletouch Agreement
(as defined below), CIVC, a significant stockholder of Teletouch, will own in
excess of five percent of the Company's Common Stock. See "The Teletouch
Agreement."
THE TELETOUCH AGREEMENT
On April 16, 1996, the Company, ProNet Subsidiary, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company ("ProNet Subsidiary"), and Teletouch entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Teletouch Agreement"). The Teletouch
Agreement provides that Teletouch will be merged with and into ProNet Subsidiary
and that the surviving corporation in the merger will be named Teletouch
Communications, Inc. and will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
CONSIDERATION. Pursuant to the terms of the Teletouch Agreement, each share
of Teletouch common stock, par value $.001 per share ("Teletouch Common Stock"),
other than shares of Teletouch Common Stock held by certain specified parties
(the "Affiliated Stockholders") including Teletouch's principal stockholder,
CIVC, and Teletouch's executive officers, will be converted into the right to
receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the greater of (i) the
number of shares of Common Stock to be received by the Affiliated Stockholders
(as provided below) and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock having a value
of $5.50. The Teletouch Agreement provides that each share of Teletouch Common
Stock held by the Affiliated Stockholders will be converted into the right to
receive that fraction of one share of Common Stock equal to the quotient (the
"Affiliated Stockholder Common Stock Exchange Ratio") obtained by dividing $5.00
by the average closing price of the Common Stock for the 20 trading days
beginning 22 trading days prior to the scheduled closing of the Teletouch
Acquisition (the "Average Closing Price"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the
Average Closing Price is greater than $26.94, then the Affiliated Stockholder
Common Stock Exchange Ratio shall be 0.1856; and PROVIDED FURTHER, that if the
Average Closing Price is less than $24.37, then the Affiliated Stockholder
Common Stock Exchange Ratio will be 0.20517.
The Teletouch Agreement further provides that each share of Teletouch Series
B Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share ("Teletouch Series B Preferred"),
will be converted into the right to receive six times the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of a share of Teletouch Common Stock
held by an Affiliated Stockholder. Assuming an Average Closing Price of $29 1/4
(the approximate average closing price of the Common Stock for the 20 trading
days prior to and including May 3, 1996), each Affiliated Stockholder would
receive 0.1856 of one share of Common Stock for each share of Teletouch Common
Stock owned or available upon the exercise of options and the conversion of
warrants for Teletouch Common Stock, each other holder of Teletouch Common Stock
would receive 0.1880 of one share of Common Stock for each share of Teletouch
Common Stock owned, and each holder of Teletouch Series B Preferred, which is
held entirely by Affiliated Stockholders, would receive 1.114 shares of Common
Stock for each share of Teletouch Series B Preferred owned. Assuming further
that all of the outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Teletouch capital
stock are exercised and that the proceeds from such exercise are applied to the
repurchase of Teletouch Common Stock at $5.50 per share, the net number of
shares of Common Stock issuable to Teletouch stockholders would be approximately
2,719,000, representing 19.2% of the total Common Stock outstanding pro forma
for the Concurrent Offering.
The Teletouch Agreement also provides that Teletouch has the right to
terminate the Teletouch Agreement if the Average Closing Price is less than
$20.75; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that ProNet has the
52
<PAGE>
option, but not the obligation, to prevent such termination by providing
additional shares of Common Stock so that the Affiliated Stockholder Common
Stock Exchange Ratio will be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing $4.26 by
the Average Closing Price. Pursuant to the terms of the Teletouch Agreement,
each share of Teletouch Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share
("Teletouch Series A Preferred"), shall be converted into the right to receive
cash in the amount of $1,000 per share plus all accrued but unpaid dividends on
such share as of July 31, 1996. The aggregate amount of cash payable to the
holders of Teletouch Series A Preferred will be $17,447,000, assuming that the
Teletouch Acquisition closes on or after July 31, 1996.
TERMINATION. The Teletouch Agreement may be terminated under certain
circumstances including, without limitation, (i) by Teletouch, if the Company's
stockholders do not approve the Teletouch Acquisition and the Teletouch
Agreement, (ii) by the Company, if the board of directors of Teletouch changes
its recommendation of the Teletouch Acquisition or if a tender offer or exchange
offer for outstanding shares of Teletouch Common Stock is commenced and the
board of directors of Teletouch does not recommend that Teletouch's stockholders
tender their shares in such tender offer, (iii) by Teletouch, if the board of
directors of the Company changes its recommendation of the Teletouch
Acquisition, (iv) by Teletouch, if the Company fails to file a registration
statement (including a proxy statement/prospectus) (the "S-4 Registration
Statement") with respect to the shares of Common Stock to be issued in
connection with the Teletouch Acquisition by June 15, 1996, (v) by Teletouch, if
the Company fails to mail the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the
Teletouch Agreement to Teletouch's and the Company's stockholders within five
days after the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") declares
the S-4 Registration Statement effective, and (vi) by Teletouch or the Company
before such proxy statement/prospectus is placed in the mail, if a material
adverse change in the business of the other party has occurred prior to such
date.
CLOSING CONDITIONS; VOTING AGREEMENT. The completion of the Teletouch
Acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including the approval of both the
Company's and Teletouch's stockholders, the expiration or termination of the
required waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act
of 1976, as amended, and receipt of applicable FCC approvals. The Company and
the Affiliated Stockholders entered into a Voting Agreement, dated as of April
15, 1996 (the "Teletouch Voting Agreement"), pursuant to which the Affiliated
Stockholders agreed to vote all of their Teletouch voting securities for the
approval and adoption of the Teletouch Agreement and the Teletouch Aquisition
and against any proposal or other matter that may interfere or be inconsistent
with the Teletouch Acquisition. In addition, each Affiliated Stockholder agreed
not to initiate, solicit or encourage (including by way of furnishing
information or assistance), or take any other action to facilitate, directly or
indirectly, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer relating to, or
that may reasonably be expected to lead to, any competing or alternate
transaction to the Teletouch Acquisition.
STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT. Assuming an Average Closing Price of $29 1/4, upon
the closing of the Teletouch Acquisition, the Affiliated Stockholders will own
approximately 2,006,000 shares of Common Stock or approximately 14.2% (and CIVC
will own approximately 1,425,000 shares of Common Stock or approximately 10.1%)
of the outstanding Common Stock pro forma for the Concurrent Offering and
assuming exercise of all warrants to purchase Teletouch capital stock, which, on
a fully diluted basis, represent the right to purchase 10,628,000 shares of
Teletouch Common Stock, and the application of the proceeds from the exercise of
such warrants to repurchase Teletouch Common Stock at $5.50 per share.
Concurrently with the execution of the Teletouch Agreement, ProNet entered into
a stockholders agreement (the "Stockholders Agreement") with certain of the
Affiliated Stockholders, including CIVC, which will become effective upon the
closing of the Teletouch Acquisition. Under the terms of the Stockholders
Agreement, the applicable Affiliated Stockholders have agreed, among other
things, (i) not to transfer any of the shares of Common Stock to be issued to
them in the Teletouch Acquisition for a period of one year, and (ii) for a
period of four years after the Teletouch Acquisition, not to (a) acquire,
directly or indirectly, any additional ProNet voting securities, or (b) engage
in any proxy contests or similar activities with respect to the election of
members of the
53
<PAGE>
Company's board of directors. Under the terms of the Voting Agreement, the
Company has agreed to cause its board of directors to nominate a designee of
CIVC for election as a director of the Company until the earlier of such time as
CIVC beneficially owns less than (i) 50% of the Common Stock it receives in the
Teletouch Acquisition or (ii) five percent of the voting securities of the
Company then outstanding. CIVC has designated Marcus D. Wedner, an officer of
CIVC, as its initial nominee. The Company also agreed to cause its board of
directors to nominate Robert M. McMurrey, the Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of Teletouch, for election as a director of the Company until the
earlier of such time as Mr. McMurrey beneficially owns less than (i) 25% of the
Common Stock he receives in the Teletouch Acquisition or (ii) the third
anniversary of the closing of the Teletouch Acquisition.
DESCRIPTION OF OTHER INDEBTEDNESS
CREDIT FACILITY
In February 1995, the Company amended and restated its former credit
facility with First Chicago, increasing its existing $52 million revolving line
of credit to $125 million. The Company uses the Credit Facility for working
capital purposes and for acquisitions approved by the lenders under the Credit
Facility (the "Lenders"). Borrowings by the Company are guaranteed by the
Company's subsidiaries and are secured by all of the assets of the Company and
its subsidiaries. The availability of advances under the Credit Facility is
conditioned on the continued maintenance of certain specified financial and
operating covenants, including a prohibition on the payment of dividends or
other distributions on the Common Stock. A portion of the proceeds of the
Offerings will be used to repay a portion of the outstanding balances under the
Credit Facility. The Company anticipates that it will receive a commitment to
amend the Credit Facility to, among other things, extend the maturity and
increase the amount of available credit to $300 million thereunder. Immediately
following the completion of the Offerings, the Company expects to have up to $44
million in borrowing availability under the Credit Facility. See "Use of
Proceeds."
The Credit Facility consists of a revolving line of credit which, in
February 1997, will convert to a five and one half year term loan maturing in
July 2002. The term loan may be repaid at any time and will be payable in
quarterly installments, based on the principal amount outstanding on the
conversion date, in amounts ranging from 3.25% initially to 5.75% quarterly over
five and one half years. The borrowings bear interest, at the Company's
designation, at either (i) the greater of First Chicago's corporate base rate or
the Federal Funds Rate, plus a margin of up to 1.25%, or (ii) LIBOR, plus a
margin of up to 2.5%. In addition, a commitment fee is required on the revolving
line of credit at .5% per annum computed on the daily unused portion of the
available loan commitment.
The Credit Facility requires that the interest expense on 50% of the
aggregate principal amount of outstanding indebtedness of the Company be
effectively fixed at a prevailing market rate through either (i) the issuance of
indebtedness bearing interest at a fixed rate or (ii) interest exchange or
insurance agreements to effectively convert a portion of its floating rate debt
to a fixed rate basis. At March 31, 1996, none of the outstanding borrowings
under the Credit Facility were subject to hedging agreements.
EXISTING NOTES
In June 1995, the Company sold $100 million in aggregate principal amount of
the Existing Notes. The Company used the proceeds to (i) repay the outstanding
balance of approximately $49.4 million under the Credit Facility, (ii) fund the
cash portion of the purchase price of certain acquisitions and (iii) purchase
frequency rights, make capital expenditures for buildout of the Company's
regional paging systems and for enhanced services, and for working capital and
general
54
<PAGE>
corporate purposes. The Existing Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at
the option of the Company at any time on or after June 15, 2000 at the following
redemption prices (plus accrued interest to the redemption date):

</TABLE>
Upon a Change of Control (as defined in the Existing Notes Indenture), the
Company will be required to offer to repurchase all outstanding Existing Notes
at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued
interest, if any, promptly after the occurrence of a Change of Control.
The Existing Notes represent general unsecured senior subordinated
obligations of the Company, are subordinated to all existing and future senior
debt of the Company, and are equal in right of payment to the Notes. The
Existing Notes Indenture provides that the Company will not incur any debt that
is subordinate and junior in right of payment to any debt of the Company and
senior in right of payment to the Existing Notes.
The following constitute events of default under the Existing Notes
Indenture: (i) failure to pay any interest on any Existing Note when due,
continued for 30 days; (ii) failure to pay principal of (or premium, if any, on)
any Existing Note when due; (iii) default in the payment of principal and
interest on Existing Notes required to be purchased pursuant to an Offer to
Purchase (as defined in the Existing Notes Indenture) or Change of Control when
due and payable; (iv) failure to perform or comply with the provisions regarding
mergers, consolidations and certain sales and purchases of assets; (v) failure
to perform or the breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Company in the
Existing Notes Indenture, continued for 60 days after notice; (vi) a default
under any bonds, debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness of the
Company or its subsidiaries or under any mortgages, indentures or instruments
under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced
any indebtedness by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, in any case with a
principal amount of at least $2 million outstanding, which shall have resulted
in such indebtedness becoming or being declared accelerated or which shall
constitute the failure to pay principal when due at the stated maturity of such
indebtedness; (vii) the failure by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to pay
final judgments aggregating in excess of $2 million, which judgments are not
paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days; and (viii) certain events in
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting the Company or any of its
subsidiaries.

<PAGE>
DESCRIPTION OF NOTES
GENERAL
The Notes will be issued pursuant to an Indenture, to be dated as of
, 1996 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and Bank One,
Columbus, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"). The Trustee will initially act as
paying agent under the Indenture. The following summaries of certain provisions
of the Indenture do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are
qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the
Indenture. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined below or elsewhere in this
Prospectus have the meanings given to them in the Indenture. See "Certain
Definitions." The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and
those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of
1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"), as in effect on the date of the
Indenture.
The Notes will be general unsecured senior subordinated obligations of the
Company, will be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all existing and
future Senior Debt of the Company and will rank PARI PASSU with the Existing
Notes.
Subject to the provisions set forth under "-- Escrow of Proceeds; Special
Redemption," the Notes will be limited to an aggregate principal amount of $100
million and will mature in 2006.
Interest on the Notes will be payable in cash semi-annually, on each March
15 and September 15 (each an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing September 15,
1996, to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of
business on the preceding March 1 and September 1, as the case may be. Interest
will accrue from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has
been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided
for, commencing September 15, 1996. Interest will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Notes will bear interest until
maturity at the rate set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus.
The Notes are issuable only in registered form, without coupons, in
denominations of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof. Unless otherwise
designated by the Company, the Company's office or agency will be the corporate
trust office of the Trustee. (Section4.2)
SUBORDINATION
The Notes will, to the extent set forth in the Indenture, be subordinate in
right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt. Upon any
payment or distribution of assets of the Company to creditors upon any
liquidation, dissolution, winding up, reorganization, assignment for the benefit
of creditors, marshalling of assets or any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
proceedings of the Company, the holders of Senior Debt will first be entitled to
receive payment in full of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on
such Senior Debt before the holders of Notes are entitled to receive any payment
of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Notes or on account of
the purchase or redemption or other acquisition of Notes by the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company. In the event that notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Trustee or the holder of any Note receives any payment or distribution of assets
of the Company of any kind or character (excluding shares of Capital Stock of
the Company or securities of the Company provided for in a plan of
reorganization or readjustment which are subordinate in right of payment to all
Senior Debt to substantially the same extent as the Notes are so subordinated)
before all the Senior Debt is paid in full, then such payment or distribution
will be required to be paid over or delivered forthwith to the trustee in
bankruptcy or other Person making payment or distribution of assets of the
Company for application to the payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to
the extent necessary to pay the Senior Debt in full. (Section11.2)
The Company may not make any payments on account of the Notes or on account
of the purchase or redemption or other acquisition of Notes if there shall have
occurred and be continuing a default in the payment of principal of (or premium,
if any) or interest on Senior Debt, the payment of commitment or facility fees,
letter of credit fees and agency fees under the Credit Facility, and payments
with respect to letter of credit reimbursement arrangements with one or more
lenders under the Credit Facility when due (a "Senior Payment Default"). In
addition, if any default (other than a Senior
56
<PAGE>
Payment Default) with respect to any Senior Debt permitting, or which with the
giving of notice or lapse of time (or both) would permit, the holders thereof
(or a trustee on behalf thereof) to accelerate the maturity thereof (a "Senior
Nonmonetary Default") has occurred and is continuing and the Company and the
Trustee have received written notice thereof from the agent bank for the Credit
Facility or from an authorized person on behalf of any Designated Senior Debt,
then the Company may not make any payments on account of the Notes or on account
of the purchase or redemption or other acquisition of Notes for a period (a
"blockage period") commencing on the date the Company and the Trustee receive
such written notice and ending on the earlier of (x) 179 days after such date
and (y) the date, if any, on which the Senior Debt to which such default relates
is discharged or such default is waived or otherwise cured. In any event, not
more than one blockage period may be commenced during any period of 360
consecutive days, and there shall be a period of at least 181 consecutive days
in each period of 360 consecutive days when no blockage period is in effect. No
Senior Nonmonetary Default that existed or was continuing on the date of the
commencement of any blockage period with respect to the Senior Debt initiating
such blockage period will be, or can be, made the basis for the commencement of
a subsequent blockage period, unless such default has been cured or waived for a
period of not less than 90 consecutive days. In the event that, notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company makes any payment to the Trustee or the holder of any
Note prohibited by the subordination provisions, then such payment will be
required to be paid over and delivered forthwith to the holders of the Senior
Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay in full all the Senior
Debt. (Section11.2) For the purposes hereof, "Designated Senior Debt" means any
Senior Debt (other than under the Credit Facility) in an original principal
amount of not less than $5 million where the instrument governing such Senior
Debt expressly states that such Debt is "Designated Senior Debt" for purposes of
the Indenture and a Board Resolution setting forth such designation by the
Company has been filed with the Trustee. (Section1.1)
By reason of such subordination, in the event of insolvency, creditors of
the Company who are not holders of Senior Debt or of the Notes may recover less,
ratably, than holders of Senior Debt and may recover more, ratably, than the
holders of the Notes.
The subordination provisions described above will cease to be applicable to
the Notes upon any defeasance or covenant defeasance of the Notes as described
below under "Defeasance." (Article 8)
As of March 31, 1996, after giving pro forma effect to the Pending
Acquisitions and the acquisition of the Nationwide License, the Concurrent
Offering and the sale of the Notes and the application of the proceeds
therefrom, the Company would have had approximately $25 million of Senior Debt
outstanding. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Capitalization." The Company may from
time to time hereafter incur additional Debt constituting Senior Debt under the
Credit Facility or otherwise, subject to the provisions of "Limitation on
Consolidated Debt" described below.
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
The Notes will not be redeemable at the Company's option prior to September
15, 2001. Thereafter, the Notes will be subject to redemption at the option of
the Company, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days'
notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount)
set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but not including
the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period
beginning on September 15 of the years indicated below:

ESCROW OF PROCEEDS; SPECIAL REDEMPTION
The proceeds of the Offering will be deposited with Bank One, Texas, N.A.,
as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent"), and simultaneously the Company will
deposit with the Escrow Agent an additional amount such that the total amount
held by the Escrow Agent (the "Escrowed Amounts") equals 101% of the principal
amount of the Notes at maturity plus the amount that would accrue as interest
thereon from the issue date of the Notes (the "Issue Date") to the first
Interest Payment Date on the Notes (the "First Interest Payment Date"). If the
Teletouch Acquisition has not been consummated by September 10, 1996, the
Company will deposit with the Escrow Agent the amount that would accrue as
interest on $100,000,000 principal amount of the Notes from the First Interest
Payment Date through December 16, 1996. The Escrow Agent will hold such amounts
in escrow, pursuant to an agreement between the Company, the Trustee and the
Escrow Agent (the "Escrow Agreement"). At the time of the completion of the
Teletouch Acquisition, the Escrowed Amounts will be released to the Company and
the Escrow Agreement will terminate, provided that (a) the Company is not then,
and after giving effect to such release would not then be, in default under
financial covenants set forth in the Indentures and (b) a payment default under
the Credit Facility or the Indentures shall not have occurred and be continuing.
If the Company shall determine, in its sole judgment, that the Teletouch
Acquisition will not be consummated by December 16, 1996, the Company may, at
its option, redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes (the "Special
Redemption") at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the
Notes plus the amount that would accrue as interest in respect of $100,000,000
principal amount of the Notes from the Issue Date to the date of the Special
Redemption (the "Special Redemption Price") and direct the Escrow Agent to pay
the Special Redemption Price to the holders of the Notes. In addition, a Special
Redemption shall mandatorily occur at the Special Redemption Price (i) on
December 16, 1996 if the Teletouch Acquisition has not been consummated by
December 6, 1996, (ii) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under clause
(h) of the definition of "Events of Default" below or (iii) on September 15,
1996, if, on or prior to September 10, 1996, the Company has not deposited with
the Escrow Agent an amount equal to the interest calculated on $100,000,000
principal amount of the Notes from the First Interest Payment Date through
December 16, 1996.
Pending the release of the Escrowed Amounts to the Company or a Special
Redemption, the Escrowed Amounts will be held by the Escrow Agent and shall be
invested in certain obligations which are marketable direct obligations of the
United States of America or obligations fully guaranteed by the United States of
America, with maturities that correspond with the estimated timing of payments
under the Escrow Agreement, but in any event not to exceed 90 days. All earnings
on such investments shall inure to the benefit of the Company and shall be
released to the Company at the time of the consummation of the Teletouch
Acquisition or upon the occurrence of a Special Redemption.
At the time of their original issuance, the Company's obligations on the
Notes will consist of (1) the obligation to pay interest calculated on
$100,000,000 principal amount of Notes through the earlier of the First Interest
Payment Date or the date of any Special Redemption and, if the Teletouch
Acquisition has not been consummated on September 10, 1996, the obligation to
pay interest calculated on $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes
through the earlier of December 16, 1996 or the date of a Special Redemption and
(2) the obligation to instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Escrowed Amounts to
the holders of the Notes in the event of a Special Redemption. At the time of
the release of the Escrowed Amounts to the Company upon the completion of the
Teletouch Acquisition, the Notes automatically will convert into an obligation
of the Company to pay principal, premium (if any) and interest with respect to
$100,000,000 principal amount. Until such time, the Company will have no
obligation to make payment on the Notes except as described above, and the
holders of the Notes may look only to the escrow account for payment of
additional amounts.
Notice of a Special Redemption will be mailed not less than three business
days prior to the date of the Special Redemption.

SELECTION AND NOTICE
If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or to be purchased pursuant
to any purchase offer required under the Indenture, at any time, selection of
Notes for redemption or purchase will be made by the Trustee in such manner as
in its sole discretion it shall deem fair and appropriate, PROVIDED, that no
Notes with a principal amount of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed or purchased
in part. Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail at least 30
but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to
be redeemed at the last address for such holder then shown on the registry
books. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that
relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount to be
redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed or unpurchased
portion will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon cancellation of
the original Note. On and after the redemption or purchase date, interest will
cease to accrue on the Notes or portions of them called for redemption or
purchase.
CERTAIN COVENANTS
The Indenture contains, among others, the following covenants:
LIMITATION ON CONSOLIDATED DEBT
The Company may not, and may not permit its Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, create, incur, assume, become liable for or guarantee the payment of
(collectively, "incur") any Debt (including Acquired Debt), provided, however,
that the Company may incur Debt (including Acquired Debt) and may permit a
Subsidiary to incur Acquired Debt if immediately thereafter the ratio of the
aggregate principal amount of Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries
outstanding as of the most recent available quarterly or annual balance sheet to
the product of four times Pro Forma Consolidated Cash Flow for the preceding
full fiscal quarter, determined on a pro forma basis as if any such Debt had
been incurred and the proceeds thereof had been applied at the beginning of such
fiscal quarter, would be less than 6.0 to 1.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, and may permit its
Subsidiaries to, incur the following without regard to the foregoing limitation
and without duplication: (i) Debt of the Company under the Credit Facility in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed $125 million at any one time
outstanding; (ii) Guarantees by Subsidiaries of Debt permitted by clause (i);
(iii) Debt of the Company evidenced by the Notes; (iv) Debt owed by the Company
to any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company or owed by any wholly owned
Subsidiary of the Company to the Company or any other wholly owned Subsidiary of
the Company (but only so long as such Debt is held by the Company or such wholly
owned Subsidiary); (v) Debt outstanding on the date the Notes are originally
issued under the Indenture; (vi) Debt arising from the honoring by a bank or
other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument drawn
against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business, provided that
such Debt is extinguished within two Business Days of its incurrence; (vii)
Refinancing Debt; and (viii) renewals of Guarantees permitted by clause (ii)
above. (Section 4.9)
For purposes of determining any particular amount of Debt under this
covenant, Guarantees of (or obligations with respect to letters of credit
supporting) Debt otherwise included in the determination of such amount shall
not also be included. For the purpose of determining compliance with this
covenant, (A) in the event that an item of Debt meets the criteria of more than
one of the types of Debt described in the above clauses, the Company, in its
sole discretion, shall classify such item of Debt and only be required to
include the amount and type of such Debt in one of such clauses; and (B) the
amount of Debt issued at a price which is less than the principal amount thereof
shall be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. (Section 4.9)
59
<PAGE>
LIMITATION ON CERTAIN DEBT
So long as any of the Notes are outstanding the Company will not incur or
suffer to exist any Debt (other than (i) the Notes and (ii) any pari passu Debt)
that is by its terms subordinate in right of payment to any other Debt of the
Company unless such Debt is also subordinate by its terms in right of payment to
the Notes. (Section 4.10)
LIMITATION ON RESTRICTED PAYMENTS
The Company may not, and may not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, (i)
directly or indirectly, declare or pay any dividend, or make any distribution,
in respect of its Capital Stock or to the holders thereof (including pursuant to
a merger or consolidation of the Company, but excluding any dividends or
distributions payable solely in shares of its Capital Stock (other than
Redeemable Stock)) or in options, warrants or other rights to acquire its
Capital Stock (other than Redeemable Stock)), other than dividends or
distributions payable to the Company or any wholly owned Subsidiary of the
Company, or by a Subsidiary of the Company to a holder who is not the Company or
a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company, provided that such dividend or
distribution is paid to all of the holders of the Capital Stock of the payor of
such dividend, pro rata in accordance with their respective interests, (ii)
directly or indirectly, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for
value (a) any Capital Stock of the Company or any Related Person or (b) any
options, warrants, or rights to purchase or acquire shares of Capital Stock of
the Company or any Related Person, (iii) make any loan, advance, capital
contribution to or investment in, or payment on a Guarantee of any obligation
of, any Affiliate or any Related Person (other than the Company or a Subsidiary
of the Company), inclusive of any loan, advance, capital contribution to or
investment in, or payment on a Guarantee of any obligation of, any Affiliate or
Related Person by the Company pursuant to a transaction whereby any such
Affiliate or Related Person becomes an Affiliate or Related Person, but
exclusive of any loan, advance, capital contribution to or investment in, or
payment on a Guarantee of any obligation of, any Person by the Company or a
Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to a transaction whereby any such Person
becomes a Subsidiary of the Company, in each case unless otherwise prohibited by
the terms of the Indenture, or (iv) redeem, defease, repurchase, retire or
otherwise acquire or retire for value prior to any scheduled maturity, repayment
or sinking fund payment (other than with the proceeds of Refinancing Debt) Debt
of the Company which is subordinate in right of payment to the Notes (each of
clauses (i) through (iv) being a "Restricted Payment"), if at the time of such
Restricted Payment, or after giving effect thereto (1) an Event of Default, or
an event that with the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, would
constitute an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing, (2) the
Company could not incur $1.00 of additional Debt under the first paragraph of
the "Limitation on Consolidated Debt" covenant, above, or (3) the aggregate of
all Restricted Payments from the date of the Indenture exceeds the sum of (a)
the remainder of (x) 100% of cumulative Consolidated Cash Flow after June 30,
1996 through the last day of the last full fiscal quarter immediately preceding
such Restricted Payment for which quarterly or annual financial statements of
the Company are available minus (y) the product of 2.0 times cumulative
Consolidated Fixed Charges after June 30, 1996 through the last day of the last
full fiscal quarter immediately preceding such Restricted Payment for which
quarterly or annual financial statements of the Company are available; and (b)
100% of the aggregate net proceeds from the issuance, after June 30, 1996, of
Capital Stock (other than Redeemable Stock) of the Company and options, warrants
or other rights on Capital Stock (other than Redeemable Stock) of the Company
and the principal amount of Debt of the Company that has been converted, after
June 30, 1996, into Capital Stock (other than Redeemable Stock) of the Company.
The foregoing provision will not be violated by reason of (i) the payment of
any dividend within 60 days after declaration thereof if at the declaration date
such payment would have complied with the foregoing provision; (ii) the
purchase, redemption, acquisition or retirement of any shares of Capital Stock
of the Company in exchange for, or out of the net proceeds of the substantially
concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of, other shares of
Capital Stock (other than Redeemable Stock) of the Company; (iii) the purchase,
redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Debt of the Company
which is subordinate in right of payment to the Notes, in exchange for, by
60
<PAGE>
conversion into, or out of the net proceeds of, a substantially concurrent (a)
issue or sale (other than to a Subsidiary) of Capital Stock (other than
Redeemable Stock) of the Company, or (b) incurrence of Refinancing Debt with
respect to such subordinated Debt; or (iv) investments in telecommunications
businesses in an aggregate amount not exceeding $20.0 million; provided that no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time,
or shall occur as a result, of any of the actions contemplated in clauses (ii)
and (iii) above. Any payment made pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) (other
than subclause (iii)(b)) of this paragraph shall be a Restricted Payment for
purposes of calculating aggregate Restricted Payments under the preceding
paragraph. (Section 4.11)
LIMITATION ON DISTRIBUTIONS BY AND TRANSFERS TO SUBSIDIARIES, ETC.
The Company may not, and may not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to,
create, assume or otherwise suffer to exist any encumbrance or restriction on
the ability of any Subsidiary of the Company to (i) pay, directly or indirectly,
dividends or make any other distributions in respect of its Capital Stock or pay
any Debt or other obligation owed to the Company or any other Subsidiary of the
Company; (ii) make loans or advances to the Company or any Subsidiary of the
Company; or (iii) transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or a
Subsidiary of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, and
may permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create, assume or otherwise suffer to
exist any such encumbrances or restrictions on the ability of any Subsidiary of
the Company if and to the extent (i) subject to the provision described under
"Limitation on Mergers, Consolidations and Certain Sales of Assets," such
encumbrance or restriction existed prior to the time any Person became a
Subsidiary of the Company and such restriction or encumbrance was not incurred
in anticipation of such acquisition of such Person by the Company; (ii) subject
to the provisions described under "Limitation on Mergers, Consolidations and
Certain Sales of Assets," "Limitation on Certain Asset Dispositions" and
"Limitation on Issuances and Sales of Capital Stock of Subsidiaries," such
encumbrance or restriction exists by reason of a customary merger or acquisition
agreement for the purchase or acquisition of the stock or assets of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries by another Person; (iii) such encumbrance or
restriction is contained in an operating lease for real property and is
effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a default in
the payment of rent; (iv) such encumbrance or restriction is the result of
applicable corporate law or regulation relating to the payment of dividends or
distributions; (v) such encumbrance or restriction is the result of applicable
statute, regulation or administrative rule which restricts the transfer of
licenses or permits; and (vi) such encumbrance or restriction is contained in
the Credit Facility on the date of the Indenture, including any amendment,
modification, supplementation, restatement or replacement of such Credit
Facility, provided that the terms and conditions of such amendment,
modification, supplementation, restatement or replacement in respect of such
encumbrance or restriction are not less favorable to the holders of the Notes
than the terms and conditions in respect of such encumbrance or restriction of
the Credit Facility on the date of the Indenture. (Section 4.12)
LIMITATION ON LIENS
The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to,
create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens)
upon or in respect of any of its property or assets to secure any Debt which is
pari passu with or subordinate in right of payment to the Notes, unless the
Notes are secured equally and ratably simultaneously with or prior to the
creation, incurrence or assumption of such Lien; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if such
Debt is expressly subordinate to the Notes, the Lien securing such subordinated
Debt shall be subordinate and junior to the Lien securing the Notes with the
same relative priority as such subordinated Debt shall have with respect to the
Notes. (Section 4.13)
LIMITATION ON TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PERSONS
The Company may not, and may not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to,
directly or indirectly, enter into any transaction or series of transactions
after the date of the Indenture with any Affiliate or Related Person (other than
the Company or a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company), unless (i) such
transaction or series of transactions is on terms no less favorable to the
Company or
61
<PAGE>
such Subsidiary than those that could be obtained in a comparable arm's-length
transaction with an entity that is not an Affiliate or a Related Person; and
(ii) if such transaction or series of transactions involves aggregate
consideration in excess of $1 million, then such transaction or series of
transactions is approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company,
including the approval of a majority of the independent, disinterested
directors, and is evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Company. Any such transaction or series of transactions shall be conclusively
deemed to be on terms no less favorable to the Company or such Subsidiary than
those that could be obtained in an arm's-length transaction if such transaction
or transactions are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the
Company, including a majority of the independent disinterested directors, and
are evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company. (Section
4.14)
This covenant will not apply to (a) transactions between the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries and any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
that are entered into in the ordinary course of business, (b) the payment of
reasonable and customary regular fees and expenses to directors of the Company,
(c) the making of indemnification, contribution or similar payments to any
director or officer of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company under the
Company's or such Subsidiary's charter or bylaws (as each may be amended after
the date of this Prospectus) or any indemnification or similar agreement between
the Company or any such Subsidiary and any of its directors or officers
(collectively, the "Indemnification Agreements") or (d) the entering into any
Indemnification Agreements with any current or future directors or officers of
the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. (Section 4.14)
LIMITATION ON CERTAIN ASSET DISPOSITIONS
The Company may not, and may not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to,
make any Asset Disposition in one or more transactions unless: (i) the Company
(or such Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of
such Asset Disposition at least equal to the fair market value for the assets
sold or disposed of as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company; (ii)
at least 80% of the consideration for such Asset Disposition consists of cash or
readily marketable cash equivalents or the assumption of Senior Debt or pari
passu Debt of the Company and release from all liability on such Senior Debt or
pari passu Debt; and (iii) all Net Available Proceeds of such Asset Disposition,
less any amounts invested within 180 days of such Asset Disposition in assets
related to the business of the Company, are applied within 180 days of such
Asset Disposition, (a) first, to the permanent reduction of any Debt then
outstanding under the Credit Facility to the extent the terms of the Credit
Facility require such application or prohibit prepayment of the Notes, (b)
second, to the repayment of any other Senior Debt to the extent the terms of
such Debt require such application or prohibit prepayment of the Notes, and (c)
third, to the extent remaining Net Available Proceeds, together with any
remaining Net Available Proceeds from any prior Asset Disposition, exceed $3
million, to make an offer to purchase ("Offer to Purchase"), on a pro rata basis
according to their respective principal amounts then outstanding (or accreted
value, as the case may be), the outstanding Notes and pari passu Debt, at 100%
of their principal amount (or accreted value, as the case may be) plus accrued
interest to the date of the purchase.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to
repurchase or redeem Notes or to repay other Debt pursuant to clause (iii) above
until the Net Available Proceeds from any Asset Disposition together with the
Net Available Proceeds from any prior Asset Disposition not otherwise applied in
accordance with clauses (a), (b) or (c) of the preceding paragraph, less any
amounts invested within 180 days of such disposition or dispositions in assets
related to the business of the Company, exceed $5 million. To the extent that
the aggregate purchase price of the Notes tendered pursuant to such an offer to
purchase is less than the aggregate purchase price offered in such offer, the
Company may use such shortfall for general corporate purposes. The Company shall
not be entitled to any credit against such obligation to purchase Notes for the
principal amount of any Notes acquired by the Company other than pursuant to
such offer to purchase. These provisions will not apply to a transaction which
is permitted under the provisions described under "Limitation on Mergers,
Consolidations and Certain Sales of Assets." (Section 4.15)
62
<PAGE>
Subject to the provisions described under "Limitation on Mergers,
Consolidations and Certain Sales of Assets" below, the provisions of this
covenant shall not apply to any Asset Disposition which is part of an Asset
Exchange Transaction if (i) the Board of Directors of the Company shall
determine that the Asset Exchange Transaction is fair and reasonable to, and in
the best interests of, the Company, which determination shall be evidenced by a
resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company filed with the Trustee and
(ii) in the event (a) the properties and assets of the Company or a Subsidiary
of the Company to be transferred in such Asset Exchange Transaction or the
properties and assets of the Subsidiary of the Company whose Capital Stock is
being transferred in such Asset Exchange Transaction represent $5 million or
more as reflected in the most recent quarterly or annual consolidated balance
sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to such Asset Exchange
Transaction and (b) such transfer is made to an Affiliate or Related Person, the
Company shall have obtained the written opinion of an independent financial
advisor stating that the Asset Exchange Transaction is fair to the Company from
a financial point of view or the determination under (i) above shall have been
made by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company. (Section 4.15)
LIMITATION ON ISSUANCES AND SALES OF CAPITAL STOCK OF SUBSIDIARIES
The Company (i) shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary of the
Company to, transfer, convey, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Capital
Stock of such or any other Subsidiary to any Person (other than the Company or a
wholly owned Subsidiary) unless such transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other
disposition is of all the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary owned by the Company
or such other Subsidiary and the Net Available Proceeds from such transfer,
conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition are applied in accordance with
"Limitation on Certain Asset Dispositions" and (ii) shall not permit any
Subsidiary to issue shares of its Capital Stock (other than directors'
qualifying shares), or securities convertible into, or warrants, rights or
options to subscribe for or purchase shares of, its Capital Stock to any Person
other than the Company or a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company. (Section
4.16)
LIMITATION ON MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS AND CERTAIN SALES OF ASSETS
The Company (i) may not consolidate with or merge into any other Person or
permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Company or any
Subsidiary of the Company (in a transaction in which such Subsidiary remains a
Subsidiary of the Company); (ii) may not, directly or indirectly, transfer,
convey, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its
assets; (iii) may not, and may not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to,
directly or indirectly, acquire Capital Stock of any other Person such that such
Person becomes a Subsidiary of the Company; and (iv) may not, and may not permit
any Subsidiary of the Company to, directly or indirectly, purchase, lease or
otherwise acquire (x) all or substantially all of the assets or (y) any existing
business (whether existing as a separate entity, subsidiary, division, unit or
otherwise) of any Person unless: (1) immediately before and after giving effect
to such transaction and treating any Debt incurred by the Company or a
Subsidiary of the Company as a result of such transaction as having been
incurred by the Company or such Subsidiary at the time of the transaction, no
Event of Default or event that with the passing of time or the giving of notice,
or both, shall constitute an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be
continuing; (2) in a transaction in which the Company does not survive or in
which the Company conveys, sells, leases or otherwise disposes of all or
substantially all of its assets, the successor entity to the Company is
organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the
District of Columbia and expressly assumes, by a supplemental Indenture executed
and delivered to the Trustee in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the
Company's obligations under the Indenture; and (3) immediately after giving
effect to such transaction, the Company or the successor entity to the Company
could incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to the first paragraph of
the "Limitation on Consolidated Debt" covenant above; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the provisions of this clause (3) shall not apply to transactions described in
clauses (i) through (iv) above which are (x) between the Company and one or more
of its wholly owned Subsidiaries or (y) between two or more wholly owned
Subsidiaries of the Company.
63
<PAGE>
Notwithstanding clause (3) above, the Company or any Subsidiary of the
Company may acquire the Capital Stock of a Person in a transaction in which such
Person becomes a Subsidiary of the Company or directly or indirectly purchase,
lease or otherwise acquire (x) all or substantially all of the assets or (y) any
existing business (whether existing as a separate entity, subsidiary, division,
unit or otherwise) of any Person so long as (a) the sum of the consideration
paid for such Capital Stock or assets and the Debt assumed in connection
therewith plus the sum of the aggregate amount of consideration paid for all
other such acquisitions consummated during the twelve-month period immediately
preceding the date of such acquisition and the Debt incurred in connection
therewith does not exceed 5% of Consolidated Tangible Assets of the Company
immediately prior to such acquisition. (Article 5)
CHANGE OF CONTROL
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of the Notes shall
have the right to require that the Company repurchase such holder's Notes, in
whole or in part (equal to $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000), at a
repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase, pursuant to the
offer described in the succeeding paragraph (the "Change of Control Offer").
Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a
notice to each holder with a copy to the Trustee stating: (i) that a Change of
Control has occurred and that such holder has the right to require the Company
to repurchase such holder's Notes, in whole or in part (equal to $1,000 or
integral multiples of $1,000), at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of
the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
date of repurchase; (ii) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such
Change of Control (including relevant information with respect to the
transaction giving rise to such Change of Control and, if applicable,
information with respect to pro forma historical income, cash flow and
capitalization after giving effect to such Change of Control); (iii) the
repurchase date (which shall be not earlier than 30 days or later than 60 days
from the date such notice is mailed) (the "Repurchase Date"); (iv) that any Note
not tendered will continue to accrue interest; (v) that any Note accepted for
payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest
after the Repurchase Date; (vi) subject to certain conditions, that holders
electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be
required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to
Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Note completed, to the paying agent (which
may be the Company) at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of
business on the Repurchase Date; (vii) that holders will be entitled to withdraw
their election if the paying agent receives, not later than the close of
business on the third business day (or such shorter periods as may be required
by applicable law) preceding the Repurchase Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter setting forth the name of the holder, the principal
amount of Notes the holder delivered for purchase, and a statement that such
holder is withdrawing his election to have such Notes purchased; and (viii) that
holders which elect to have their Notes purchased only in part will be issued
new Notes in a principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of the Notes
surrendered.
On the Repurchase Date, the Company shall (i) accept for payment Notes or
portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (ii) deposit
with the Trustee or a paying agent (or segregate, if the Company is acting as
its own paying agent) money sufficient to pay the purchase price of all Notes or
portions thereof so tendered and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee Notes so accepted, together with an officers' certificate stating the
Notes or portions thereof which are thereby tendered to the Company. The Trustee
or a paying agent shall promptly mail to the holders of Notes such accepted
payment in an amount equal to the purchase price and promptly authenticate and
mail to such holders a new Note in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased
portion of the Note surrendered. The Company will publicly announce the results
of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Repurchase
Date. (Section 4.17)
64
<PAGE>
In the event a Change of Control occurs and any repurchase pursuant to the
foregoing constitutes a "tender offer" for purposes of Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act, the Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 as
then in effect, to the extent applicable, and any other applicable securities
laws or regulations with respect to such repurchase. The Change of Control
provisions described above may deter certain mergers, tender offers and other
takeover attempts involving the Company.
The Company's ability to repurchase Notes upon a Change of Control may be
limited by the terms of its then existing contractual obligations. The Credit
Facility provides that the repurchase of the Notes upon a Change of Control will
constitute a default under the Credit Facility, and any future credit agreements
or other agreements relating to Senior Debt may contain similar provisions. If
the Company makes a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control, the
Company may not have adequate financial resources to repurchase all Notes
tendered. The Company's failure to repurchase tendered Notes or to make a Change
of Control Offer following a Change of Control would constitute an Event of
Default under the Indenture, but the subordination provisions in the Indenture
would likely restrict payments to the Holders of Notes.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
The following are Events of Default with respect to the Notes: (a) failure
to pay any interest on any Note when due, continued for 30 days; (b) failure to
pay principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Note when due; (c) default in the
payment of principal and interest on Notes required to be purchased pursuant to
an Offer to Purchase as described under "Limitation on Certain Asset
Dispositions" and "Change of Control" when due and payable; (d) failure to
perform or comply with the provisions described under "Limitation on Mergers,
Consolidations and Certain Sales of Assets"; (e) failure to perform or breach of
any other covenant or warranty of the Company in the Indenture, continued for 60
days after written notice from the Trustee or holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the outstanding Notes as provided in the Indenture; (f) a
default shall have occurred under any bonds, debentures, notes or other
evidences of indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or
under any mortgages, indentures or instruments under which there may be issued
or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness by the Company or
any Subsidiary of the Company, in any case with a principal amount of at least
$5 million outstanding, and such indebtedness already is due and payable in full
or such default has resulted in the acceleration of the maturity of such
indebtedness, in each case after a period of five days during which period such
default shall not have been cured or such acceleration shall not have been
rescinded; (g) the rendering of a final judgment or judgments (not subject to
appeal) against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount in
excess of $5 million which remain unstayed, in effect and unpaid for a period of
60 consecutive days thereafter; and (h) certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency
or reorganization affecting the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company.
Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee
in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee will be
under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture
at the request or direction of any of the holders, unless such holders shall
have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity. Subject to such provisions for
the indemnification of the Trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Notes will have the right to direct the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. (Section
6.1)
If an Event of Default (other than Events of Default with respect to certain
events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting the Company or any
Subsidiary of the Company) shall occur and be continuing, either the Trustee or
the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Notes may accelerate the maturity of all Notes; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that after
such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes may,
under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration if all Events
of Default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal, have been cured
or waived as provided in the Indenture. If a specified Event of Default with
respect to
65
<PAGE>
a certain event of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting the
Company or any Subsidiary of the Company occurs, the principal of the Notes then
outstanding shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or
other act on the part of the Trustee or any holder of the Notes. (Section 6.2)
For information as to waiver of defaults, see "Modification and Waiver."
No holder of any Note will have any right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless such holder shall
have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of

maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or
indirectly. Persons who are not Participants may beneficially own securities
held by or on behalf of the Depository only through the Depository's
Participants or the Depository's Indirect Participants.
So long as the Global Note holder is the registered owner of any Notes, the
Global Note holder will be considered the sole holder under the Indenture of any
Notes evidenced by the Global Note. Beneficial owners of Notes evidenced by the
Global Note will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the
Indenture for any purpose, including with respect to the giving of any
directions, instructions or approvals to the Trustee thereunder. Neither the
Company nor the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect
of the records of the Depository or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing
any records of the Depository relating to the Notes.
Payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
any Notes registered in the name of the Global Note holder on the applicable
record date will be payable by the Trustee to or at the direction of the Global
Note holder in its capacity as the registered holder under the Indenture. Under
the terms of the Indenture, the Company and the Trustee may treat the persons in
whose names the Notes, including the Global Note, are registered as the owners
thereof for the purpose of receiving such payments. Consequently, neither the
Company nor the Trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for the
payment of such amounts to beneficial owners of the Notes (including principal,
premium, if any, or interest). The Company believes, however, that it is
currently the policy of the Depository to immediately credit the accounts of the
relevant Participants with such payments, in amounts proportionate to their
respective holdings of beneficial interests in the relevant security as shown on
the records of the Depository. Payments by the Depository's Participants and the
Depository's Indirect Participants to the beneficial owners of the Notes will be
governed by standing instructions and customary practice and will be the
responsibility of the Depository's Participants or the Depository's Indirect
Participants.
SAME-DAY SETTLEMENT AND PAYMENT
The Indenture will require that payments in respect of the Notes (including
principal, premium, if any, and interest) be made in immediately available
funds.

UNDERWRITING
The underwriters named below (the "Underwriters") have severally agreed,
subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement (the
"Underwriting Agreement"), to purchase from the Company, and the Company has
agreed to sell to the Underwriters, the principal amount of Notes set forth
opposite their respective names below.

</TABLE>
The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the Underwriters
to purchase the Notes are subject to certain conditions, and that if any Notes
are purchased by the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, all of
the Notes agreed to be purchased by the Underwriters pursuant to the
Underwriting Agreement must be so purchased. The closing of the Offering is not
conditioned upon the closing of the Concurrent Offering.
The Company has been advised by the Underwriters that they propose to offer
the Notes offered hereby initially at the public offering price set forth on the
cover page of this Prospectus and to certain selected dealers (who may include
the Underwriters) at such public offering price less a concession not to exceed
% of the principal amount of the Notes. The Underwriters or such selected
dealers may reallow a commission to certain other dealers not to exceed % of
the principal amount of the Notes. After the initial public offering of the
Notes, the public offering price, the concession to selected dealers and the
reallowance to other dealers may be changed by the Underwriters.
In the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the
Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or to contribute to
payments that the Underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.
There is no public market for the Notes and the Company has no plans to
apply for listing of the Notes on any national securities exchange or for
quotation of the Notes on any automated quotation system. The Company has been
advised by certain of the Underwriters that they currently intend to make a
market in the Notes; however, such Underwriters are not obligated to do so. Any
such market-making may be discontinued at any time, for any reason, without
notice. If any of such Underwriters ceases to act as a market maker for the
Notes for any reason, there can be no assurance that another firm or person will
make a market in the Notes. There can be no assurance that an active market for
the Notes will develop or, if a market does develop, at what prices the Notes
will trade.
Lehman Brothers Inc., Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation
and Goldman, Sachs & Co. are Underwriters of the Concurrent Offering and will
receive compensation for such services. Lehman Brothers Inc. is acting as the
Company's financial advisor in connection with the Teletouch Acquisition. An
affiliate of First Chicago Capital Markets, Inc. is one of the lenders under the
Credit Facility. The Company and Lehman Brothers Inc. anticipate that an
affiliate of Lehman Brothers Inc. will become a lender under the Credit
Facility, as it may be amended. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital
Resources."

following adjustments:
(F) A pro forma adjustment is made to reflect the effect on service
revenues related to the segment of the operations of All City not acquired
by the Company.
(G) The pro forma adjustment to sales, general and administrative
expenses represents expenses that would not have been incurred had the

Signet Charlotte, Carrier, All City, Metropolitan, Lewis, Paging & Cellular,
Apple, Sun, SigNet Raleigh, Page One, AGR, Total, Williams, PacWest,
Georgialina and VIP, cost savings relate to decreased salaries (primarily
due to reductions in senior management), office rent, professional fees,
telephone costs and bad debts.
(H) Pro forma adjustments are made to the statements of operations to
reflect additional depreciation and amortization expense based on the fair
value of the assets acquired as if the ProNet Acquisitions had occurred at
the beginning of the periods presented. Pro forma depreciation is computed
using the straight-line method over the remaining estimated useful lives of
the assets. Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method over a
15-year term.

(W) Interest expense is comprised of interest on the Credit Facility,
the Existing Notes, the Notes and the Deferred Payments, plus the commitment
fee on the Credit Facility. Pro forma adjustments reflect (i) the reversals
of interest expense of $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31,
1996 and $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 on debt of the
Acquisitions not assumed by the Company and (ii) increase in interest
expense due to the sale of the Notes at an assumed annual rate of 10.25% and
amortization of related debt issuance costs. Interest expense on the
Deferred Payments is provided as required by the definitive agreements or
letters of intent.
(X) At December 31, 1995, the Company had net operating loss
carryforwards of $11.0 million for income tax purposes that expire in years
2005 through 2011. No tax benefits were recorded because the realization of
net operating losses is not assured beyond a reasonable doubt. Therefore, a
pro forma adjustment was made to eliminate any tax benefits associated with
the Acquisitions.

necessarily indicative of either the results of operations that would have

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994, AND 1993
NOTE A -- ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of ProNet Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates
market, and include investments in financial instruments having maturities of
three months or less at the time of purchase.
INVENTORIES: Inventories are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out
(FIFO) cost or market and consist primarily of finished goods.
EQUIPMENT: Equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed by the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Communication equipment and security systems' equipment are depreciated over a
ten-year period. Pagers and office equipment are depreciated over a three- to
five-year in-service period.
Beginning in October 1995, the Company began recording and depreciating all
pagers as a part of pager equipment. Depreciation expense recorded on pagers in
the fourth quarter of 1995 was approximately $536,000. Pager amounts classified
as inventories in prior year financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the current period's presentation.
OTHER ASSETS: Other assets include goodwill, noncompetition agreements,
debt financing costs, customer lists, patents, software purchased for internal
use and other intangible assets, all of which are amortized using the
straight-line method over five- to fifteen-year periods. Goodwill, currently
being amortized on a straight-line basis over a fifteen-year period, is net of
accumulated amortization of $5.7 million and $1.2 million at December 31, 1995
and 1994, respectively. The noncompetition agreements are amortized using the
straight-line method over the terms of the agreements, generally five-years.
Debt financing costs consist of costs incurred in connection with the Company's
senior subordinated notes and revolving line of credit and are being amortized
over periods not to exceed the terms of the related agreements. Management
regularly reviews remaining goodwill and other assets with consideration toward
recovery through future operating results (undiscounted) at the current rate of
amortization.
REVENUE RECOGNITION: Revenue is recognized as earned over the contract
terms.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: Taxes are reported under the liability method;
accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities
and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect
when the differences are expected to reverse.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE: Net income (loss) per share is based on the
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding
during each period. Stock options are considered common stock equivalents for
purposes of computing weighted average shares outstanding.

PRONET INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
NOTE A -- ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK: The Company provides paging services to
businesses, individual consumers, medical institutions and health care
professionals and specialized security devices to financial institutions, most
of which are in major metropolitan areas. The Company performs periodic credit
evaluations of its customers' financial condition and generally does not require
significant collateral. Receivables generally are due within 30 days. Credit
losses relating to its customers consistently have been within management's
expectations.
SOURCES OF SUPPLY OF MATERIAL: The Company does not manufacture any of the
transmitting and computer equipment or pagers used in providing its paging
services, but instead purchases such equipment and pagers from multiple sources.
The Company anticipates that such equipment and pagers will continue to be
available in the foreseeable future, subject to normal manufacturing and
delivery lead times. Because of the high degree of compatibility among different
models of transmitters, computers and other paging equipment manufactured by
multiple suppliers, the Company is able to design its systems without depending
upon any single source of equipment. The Company continuously evaluates new
developments in paging technology in connection with the design and enhancement
of its paging systems and the selection of products and services to be offered
to its subscribers.
In order to achieve significant cost savings from volume purchases, the
Company currently purchases substantially all its pagers from Motorola. The
Company purchases its transmitters from two competing sources and its paging
terminals from Glenayre, a manufacturer of mobile communications equipment. The
paging system equipment in existing markets has significant capacity for future
growth.
All equipment used in the security systems business is assembled by the
Company with some sub-assemblies manufactured to Company specifications by
outside vendors. The materials required for TracPacs and other tracking
equipment are readily available from several sources.
RECLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: The 1994 and 1993 financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1995 financial statement
presentation.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: In the first quarter of 1996, the Company
will adopt the FASB Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." Adoption of this
statement will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In October 1995, the FASB issued its Statement No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock Based Compensation" ("FAS 123") which establishes an alternative method of
accounting for stock based compensation to the method set forth in Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"). FAS 123 encourages, but does not
require, adoption of a fair valued based method of accounting for stock options
and similar equity instruments granted to employees. The Company will continue
to account for such grants under the provision of APB No. 25 and will adopt the
disclosure provisions of FAS 123 in 1996. Accordingly, adoption of FAS 123 will
not effect the Company's financial statements.

In June 1995, the Company completed a Rule 144A Offering of $100 million
principal amount of its 11 7/8% senior subordinated notes (the "Notes") due
2005. Proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Notes, after deducting
discounts, commissions and offering expenses, were approximately $95.6 million.
The Company used approximately $49.4 million of the net proceeds to repay all
indebtedness outstanding under the New Credit Facility. The Company has used the
remaining proceeds to pursue the Company's acquisition strategy, to purchase
frequency rights, to make capital expenditures for buildout of the Company's
regional paging systems and for enhanced services, and for working capital and
general corporate purposes. The fair value of the Notes at December 31, 1995 was
$110 million based on quoted market price.
The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and are
subordinated to all existing and future senior debt of the Company. The
indenture provides that the Company may not incur any debt that is subordinate
in right of payment to the senior debt and senior in right of payment to the
Notes. The indenture also contains certain covenants that, among other things,
limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur indebtedness, pay
dividends, engage in transactions with

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
NOTE C -- LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)
affiliates, sell assets and engage in certain other transactions. Interest on
the Notes is payable in cash semi-annually on each June 15 and December 15,
commencing December 15, 1995. The Notes will not be redeemable at the Company's
option prior to June 15, 2000.
The Company filed the 1995 S-4 on July 7, 1995 to register the Notes with
the SEC under the Securities Act. On October 6, 1995, the SEC declared the 1995
S-4 effective.
In June 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with The First National
Bank of Chicago, as Agent (the "Lender"), making available a $52 million
revolving line of credit (the "Former Credit Facility") for working capital
purposes and for acquisitions approved by the Lender. Borrowings were secured by
all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. Under terms of the Former Credit
Facility, the borrowings bore interest, at the Company's designation, at either
(i) the greater of the Lender's corporate base rate or a Federal Funds Rate,
plus a margin up to one percent, or (ii) the London Interbank Offer Rate
("LIBOR"), plus a margin of up to 2.25%. In addition, the Former Credit Facility
required maintenance of certain specified financial and operating covenants,
prohibited the payment of dividends or other distributions on the Common Stock
and required the proceeds from the December 1994 common stock offering to repay
indebtedness under the Former Credit Facility if such proceeds were not used to
make approved acquisitions.
The Former Credit Facility was further amended and restated in February 1995
and June 1995 (the "New Credit Facility") increasing the amount of available
credit from $52 million under the Former Credit Facility to $125 million under
the New Credit Facility and permitting the issuance of senior subordinated
notes. In February 1997, the revolving line of credit under the New Credit
Facility will convert to a five and one-half year term loan maturing in July
2002. The term loan may be repaid at any time and will be payable in quarterly
installments, based on the principal amount outstanding on the conversion date,
in amounts ranging from 3.25% initially to 5.75%. The borrowings bear interest,
at the Company's designation, at either (i) the greater of the Lender's
corporate base rate or a Federal Funds Rate, plus a margin of up to 1.25 %, or
(ii) LIBOR, plus a margin of up to 2.50%. In addition, an arrangement fee of
1.125% of the aggregate commitment was paid in February 1995 and a commitment
fee is required on the revolving line of credit at .5% per annum computed on the
daily unused portion of the available loan commitment. Borrowings are secured by
all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The New Credit Facility requires
maintenance of certain specified financial and operating covenants and prohibits
the payment of dividends or other distributions on the Common Stock. The New
Credit Facility also states that in the event of an issuance of subordinated
indebtedness of the Company or an equity issuance (other than the common stock
offering which occurred in December 1994), the Lender can request that a
percentage of the proceeds be used to repay outstanding borrowings under the New
Credit Facility.
At December 31, 1995 the Company had approximately $47.2 million of
available funds under the New Credit Facility, based on financial and operating
covenants.
Effective June 12, 1995, the Lender began requiring that the interest
expense on 50% of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding indebtedness
be fixed at a prevailing market rate through either or both of (a) loans or
other financial accommodations bearing interest at a fixed rate or (b) an
interest rate exchange or insurance agreement or agreements with one or more
financial institutions. At December 31, 1995, none of the outstanding long-term
debt was subject to hedging agreements.
The weighted average interest rate on the outstanding Notes and line of
credit during 1995 and 1994 was 12.9% and 6.5%, respectively. Total interest
paid was $7.8 million, $1.7 million and $177,000 for 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

million, $3.0 million, $245,000, $8.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively,
which are due and payable one year from the closing of the respective
transactions. The balances are payable, at the Company's discretion, either in
cash or shares of the Company's Common Stock based on current market value at
the date of payment. On August 1, 1995, the Company issued 44,166 shares of its
Common Stock to ChiComm in payment of the $950,000 deferred portion of the
purchase price of ChiComm. The purchase prices for the Contact, Radio Call,
Metropolitan, Gold Coast, Paging & Cellular and Apple acquisitions were paid in
full at closing.
On July 25, 1995, the Company filed a Form S-3 Registration Statement (the
"1995 S-3") to register 2,000,000 shares of the Common Stock to fund the
purchase prices or deferred payments related to the purchase prices for the
Company's acquisitions.
NOTE E -- INCOME TAXES
At December 31, 1995, net operating loss carryforwards of $11.0 million were
available to reduce income taxes and expire in years 2005 through 2011.
The valuation allowance increased during 1995 in recognition of the
Company's 1995 operating losses and management's belief that the realization of
the deferred tax asset in the near term is remote.
In 1995 and 1994, the Company was subject to an alternative minimum tax of
$0 and $453,407, respectively, which will be allowed as a credit against regular
tax in the future in the event regular tax expense exceeds AMT. At December 31,
1995, the Company had unused investment tax credit carryforwards of $147,000
which expire beginning in 1999.

THE NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR OPTION PLAN
The Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan ("Non-Employee Director Option
Plan"), approved in July 1991, authorized 37,500 shares of common stock for
issuance under the Plan and provides for a one-time grant of options for the
purchase of 7,500 shares of common stock to non-employee directors of the
Company.
The per share exercise price for shares subject to each option is the fair
market value of the common stock at the date of grant. The option shall be
exercisable in full after the completion of six months of continuous service on
the Board of Directors after the date of grant, and the term of each option is
ten years. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, there were options outstanding and
exercisable for 15,000 shares at an option price per share of $7.63 and 7,500
shares at an option price per share of $6.88.
In May 1991, under a separate agreement, a one-time grant of options for the
purchase of 7,500 shares of common stock was made to a non-employee director.
The option, with a per share price of $7.63, became fully exercisable at the
date of grant and was outstanding at December 31, 1995 and 1994.
1994 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
In May 1994, the Company's Board of Directors and Stockholders approved an
Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("Stock Purchase Plan") that became effective July
1, 1994. A total of 100,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance
under the Stock Purchase Plan. Employees who work at least 20 hours per week and
more than five months in a calendar year are eligible to participate in the
Stock Purchase Plan and may contribute up to 15% of their base pay. At the end
of each six-month offering period, participants may purchase the Company's
common stock at a 15% discount of the fair market value of the stock on the
first or last day of the offering period, whichever is lower.
In 1995, 4,244 and 5,470 shares were purchased with payroll deductions
withheld during the six month offering periods ending December 31, 1994 and June
30, 1995, respectively. On January 11, 1996, 6,571 shares were purchased with
payroll deductions withheld during the six month offering period ending December
31, 1995.
1995 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
In May 1995, the Company's Board of Directors and Stockholders approved the
1995 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "1995 Plan") under which the Board of
Directors may grant incentive and non-incentive stock options, restricted stock
awards and stock appreciation rights to key employees and non-incentive stock
options to non-employee directors of the Company totaling 1,000,000 shares of
Common Stock to be issued. Grants to key employees will expire ten years after
the date of grant. Incentive stock options will have an exercise price of the
fair value of a share of common stock at the date the option is granted.
Non-incentive stock options, restrictive stock awards and stock appreciation
rights will have an exercise price as specified in their award agreement.
Under the 1995 Plan, on an annual basis each non-employee director of the
Company will be automatically granted non-incentive stock options to purchase
2,500 shares of Common Stock, beginning in 1995. The per share exercise price
for shares subject to each option is the fair market value of the common stock
at the date of grant. The option shall become vested and exercisable over a
three year period, and the term of each option is ten years. In May 1995, there
were 10,000 options granted to non-employee directors of the Company.

Operating income is revenue less expenses exclusive of general corporate
expenses, corporate related depreciation and amortization and other income
(expense). Identifiable assets are those assets used in the operations of each
business segment. Corporate assets consist primarily of short-term cash
investments, software, debt financing costs and corporate office equipment.
During 1994, the Company restructured its technical, sales and operational
functions into its decentralized SuperCenter strategy. Certain costs that were
previously classified as general corporate expenses in 1994 and 1993 were
classified as paging systems' or security systems' expenses in 1995. Thus,
operating income before general corporate expenses for paging systems' and
security systems' operations decreased in 1995 from 1994 as costs were allocated
from general corporate expenses. Segment data as of and for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 follows (in thousands).

</TABLE>
Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method over a fifteen year
term. Noncompetition agreements are amortized using the straight-line method
over the terms of the agreements, generally five years. Debt financing costs
consist of costs incurred in connection with the Company's senior subordinated
notes and revolving line of credit and are amortized over periods not to exceed
the terms of the related agreements.
EQUIPMENT: Beginning in October 1995, the Company began recording and
depreciating all pagers as part of pager equipment.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE: Net income (loss) per share is based on the
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding
during each period. Stock options are considered common stock equivalents for
purposes of computing weighted average shares outstanding.
RECLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: The 1995 financial statements

The Company has deferred payments outstanding related to various completed
acquisitions which are due and payable one year from the closing of the
respective transactions. The balances are payable, at the Company's discretion,
either in cash or shares of the Company's common stock, $.01 par value (the
"Common Stock") based on current market value at the date of payment. In January
1996, the Company paid in cash the $200,000 deferred portion of the purchase
price of High Tech Communications Corp. ("High Tech"). In February 1996, the
Company issued 172,535 shares of its Common Stock and paid in cash $13,000 to
Signet Paging of Charlotte, Inc. ("Signet Charlotte") for payment of the $4.2
million deferred portion of the purchase price of Signet Charlotte. In March
1996, the Company issued 114,994 shares of its Common Stock to Carrier Paging
Systems, Inc. ("Carrier") in payment of the $3.0 million deferred portion of the
purchase price of Carrier.
NOTE D -- ACQUISITIONS
In early 1993, the Company announced its plans to commence a program of
acquiring businesses that serve the commercial paging market and offer
operational synergies when integrated within the Company's SuperCenters. During
1994, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Contact
Communications, Inc. ("Contact"), substantially all of the of the paging assets
of Radio Call Company, Inc. ("Radio Call") and High Tech and substantially all
of the Chicago-area paging assets of the RCC division of Chicago Communication
Service, Inc., ("ChiComm") for $19.0 million, $7.8 million, $900,000 and $9.8
million, respectively. In 1995, the Company acquired the paging assets of Signet
Charlotte for $9.0 million, Carrier for $6.5 million, All City Communication
Company, Inc. ("All City") for $6.4 million, Americom Paging Corporation
("Americom") for $17.5 million, Lewis Paging, Inc. ("Lewis") for $5.6 million,
Gold Coast Paging, Inc. ("Gold Coast") for $2.3 million and Paging & Cellular of
Texas, a Sole Proprietorship ("Paging & Cellular") for $9.5 million and all the
outstanding capital stock of Metropolitan Houston Paging Services, Inc.
("Metropolitan") for $21.0 million and Apple Communication, Inc. ("Apple") for
$13.0 million. Effective January 1, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all
of the paging assets of Sun Paging Communications ("Sun") and SigNet Paging of

NOTE D -- ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)
("Total") and Williams Metro Communications Corp. and affiliates ("Williams")
for $6.5 million, $2.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The nineteen
completed acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and funded by borrowings
under the Company's revolving line of credit (the "Credit Facility"), proceeds
from the sale of the Company's senior subordinated notes (the "Notes") and
issuances of shares of the Company's Common Stock.
The pro forma unaudited results of operations for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995, (which include acquisitions closed as of March 31,
1996), assuming consummation of the purchases at the beginning of the periods
indicated, are as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

</TABLE>
These pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and
do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations which actually
would have resulted had the acquisitions been made as of those dates or of
results which may occur in the future.
NOTE E -- INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the primary difference between
the U.S. Federal statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate is the
amortization of goodwill related to stock acquisitions, which is not deductible
for tax purposes. Additionally, no recognition has been given to the potential
future tax benefits from net operating losses incurred in the first quarter of
1996, as such tax benefits are not assured beyond a reasonable doubt.
NOTE F -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In April 1996, the Company signed a letter of intent to purchase all of the
outstanding capital stock of Georgialina Communication Company and affiliates
("Georgialina"). Also in April 1996, the Company signed two definitive
agreements. The first definitive agreement involved the merger of the Company
and Teletouch Communications, Inc. ("Teletouch"). The second definitive
agreement involved a merger with Pac-West Telecomm, Inc. and affiliates
("PacWest"). In May 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase
substantially all of the assets of Ventures in Paging, L.C. ("VIP"). These
transactions will be accounted for as purchases for an approximate aggregate
purchase price of $229.5 million.
Also in April 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase a
nationwide license (931.9125 MHz Radio Common Carrier frequency) and for the
purchase of associated system equipment (the "Nationwide License") from
Motorola, Inc. ("Motorola") for approximately $43 million.
These transactions are expected to close in 1996 and are subject to various
conditions and approvals. The Company anticipates amending the Credit Facility
to extend the maturity and to increase the amount of available credit to $300
million.

PAGING DIVISIONS OF PAC-WEST TELECOMM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 30, 1995
NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Pac-West Telecomm, Inc. (a California corporation) is engaged in the
business of providing paging services, long-distance telecommunications, and
telephone equipment sales and installation services to business and residential
customers principally within California. Its wholly-owned subsidiary, A Best
Page, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) provides paging services in the Las Vegas,
Nevada area.
On April 25, 1996, Pac-West Telecomm, Inc. entered into an agreement to
merge its paging operations (the Paging Divisions) into ProNet Inc. The acquired
net assets are to include all of the outstanding capital stock of A Best Page,
Inc.
The accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Divisional Equity
include only the assets and liabilities of the paging services which will be
acquired by or assumed by ProNet Inc., including all the assets and liabilities
of A Best Page, Inc.
The accompanying Statements of Operations include the revenues and expenses
of only the Paging Divisions of Pac-West Telecomm, Inc., plus all of the
revenues and expenses of A Best Page, Inc.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.
NOTE 2 -- ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
EQUIPMENT, VEHICLES AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS
Equipment, vehicles and leasehold improvements are stated at cost, less
accumulated depreciation and amortization. Equipment includes assets acquired
under capital leases. Expenditures for maintenance are charged to expense as
incurred. Upon retirement, the asset cost and the related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts. Costs associated with dispositions
of pagers are reflected as a component of cost of sales and services, whereas
gains and losses associated with dispositions of other equipment, vehicles and
leasehold improvements are reflected as a component of other income (expense).
Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method based
on the following estimated useful lives and includes amortization of assets
acquired under capital lease:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
5 to 7
Equipment............................................................. years
Vehicles.............................................................. 5 years
Leasehold improvements................................................ 3 years
</TABLE>
GOODWILL
Intangibles acquired have been capitalized and are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 10 years.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial
statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the marginal
tax rates, using the liability method.

</TABLE>
Interest paid on notes payable and capital lease obligations during 1995 was

LINES OF CREDIT
Effective August 1995, Pac-West Telecomm, Inc. entered into a two-year
credit agreement with a financial institution, which provides for a line of
credit of 80% of eligible receivables, with a maximum borrowing limit of
$1,500,000. No amounts had been borrowed under this line of credit during fiscal
1995. The line of credit bears interest at the bank's prime rate plus 0.75%. All
of the Paging Divisions accounts receivable are collateral for borrowings under
this line of credit. At November 30, 1995 and February 29, 1996, $845,000 and
$1,051,000, respectively, were available under this line of credit based on
Pac-West Telecomm, Inc.'s borrowing base.
The credit agreement (and related security agreement) contain various
restrictive covenants, including restrictions on the incurrence of new liens and
long-term indebtedness except for the financing of new equipment, the payment of
dividends, the entering into business combinations or mergers, and requirements
to maintain certain financial ratios. Pac-West Telecomm, Inc. has been in
compliance with all the covenants and financial ratios.
In February 1996, Pac-West Telecomm, Inc. received a commitment for up to
$800,000 of equipment financing. Financings under this commitment will be for
terms of up to 60 months. The financing agreement contains a restrictive
condition as to certain consolidations or mergers of Pac-West Telecomm, Inc.
Under this agreement, in February 1996, the Paging Divisions financed $381,000
of equipment under a capital lease.

NOTE 4 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LEASES
The Paging Divisions lease certain equipment under capital leases. In
addition, certain paging transmitting sites are leased on month-to-month, annual
and long-term noncancelable leases. In most cases, management expects that the
paging transmitting site leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases in
the normal course of business.
All of the paging transmitting site leases, as well as all of the Federal
Communication Commission paging transmitter licenses, in states other than
California and Nevada are in the name of an affiliated company, Strategic
Products Corporation. Pac-West Telecomm, Inc. owns and operates the paging
transmitting equipment at most of these sites, and makes the lease payments on
all the leases.
Future minimum payments under capital leases and noncancelable operating
leases with initial terms in excess of one year are as follows as of November
30, 1995 for the Paging Divisions:

on the effective tax rates for Pac-West Telecomm, Inc. and are higher than the
statutory rates due to state income taxes.
A Best Page, Inc. files a separate federal income tax return. No income tax
benefit has been applied to the results of operations of A Best Page, Inc. as it
has net operating loss carryovers totaling approximately $100,000 through 1995.
No recognition has been given in these financial statements to the potential
future tax benefits from these net operating loss carryovers for A Best Page,
Inc. The net operating loss carryovers will begin expiring in 2006.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOVEMBER 30, 1995
NOTE 5 -- INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
The Deferred income tax liability of $150,000 reflected in these financial
statements represents the allocable portion of Pac-West Telecomm Inc.'s deferred
tax liabilities at November 30, 1995. Deferred tax liabilities arise mainly from
temporary differences that arise from depreciation for federal and state income
taxes versus financial reporting purposes.
NOTE 6 -- ALLOCATION OF CORPORATE EXPENSES
Corporate expenses for accounting, legal, and other general administrative
services are allocated to the Paging Divisions based upon revenue of the
divisions relative to the total revenues of Pac-West Telecomm, Inc. Management
believes this is a reasonable allocation method. Allocated amounts for the year
ended November 30, 1995 and the three months ended February 29, 1996 and
February 28, 1995, were $852,000, $221,000, and $206,000, respectively.
NOTE 8 -- UNAUDITED PERIODS
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included.

TELETOUCH COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Teletouch Communications, Inc., and its subsidiaries (the "Company") sells,
installs and services paging and two-way mobile radio communication equipment.
Additionally, the Company leases certain equipment to its customers on a
month-to-month basis.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. Significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company's
former parent (prior to the December 29, 1994 completion of the Company's
initial public offering), Rainbow Resources, Inc., is a Texas holding
corporation established for investment purposes and is wholly-owned by one
individual, an affiliate of the Company. Rainbow's assets are primarily
comprised of its investment in and note receivable from the Company. The
financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1995 include the results
of operations for Beepers Plus of Memphis, Inc., Beepers Plus of Nashville and
Beepers Plus of Jackson Partnership (collectively "Beepers Plus") and Waco
Communications, Inc. ("WCI") from the acquisition date, December 29, 1994 to
year end.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market using the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method. Reserves are provided for estimated losses due to
obsolescence and excess inventories. Inventories consist of pagers held for sale
and spare parts held for resale.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on
the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Pagers......................................................... 3 years
Towers and equipment........................................... 5-20 years
Buildings and improvements..................................... 10-20 years
Office furniture and fixtures.................................. 5-10 years
</TABLE>
Effective June 1, 1993, Teletouch revised its estimated useful life of
pagers from five years to three years. The Company believes the use of a three
year life will provide for normal depreciation and estimated losses of
equipment. The effect of this change in estimate in 1994 was to increase
depreciation expense by approximately $45,000 and increase the net loss by
$29,700, or $0.01 per share.
INCOME TAXES
Prior to July 1994 the Company was included in the consolidated federal
income tax return of its parent, Rainbow Resources, Inc. In accordance with an
informal arrangement with its former parent, the Company calculated its federal
income tax liability on a stand-alone basis and recognized the liability for
current income taxes as a payable to the consolidated group. Such amounts were
repaid under the terms of amounts due to related parties. Thus, the Company did
not make cash payments of federal income taxes directly to the Internal Revenue
Service previous to August 1994.
Subsequent to July 1994, the Company is no longer consolidated with Rainbow
Resources, Inc. for federal income tax reporting purposes and will begin filing
its own consolidated return. The Company made no cash payments for federal
income taxes during the period August 1994 to May 31, 1995.
F-68
<PAGE>
TELETOUCH COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
The components of the Company's significant deferred tax liabilities and
assets result from timing differences in the recognition of depreciation and
amortization, deferred compensation for consulting services and accounts
receivable and inventory reserves.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired and other intangibles
are amortized over 25 years and 5 years, respectively, computed on the
straight-line method. It is the Company's policy to account for intangible
assets at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value. On an ongoing
basis, management reviews the valuation and amortization of such assets. As a
part of its ongoing review, management estimates the fair value (generally using
a multiple of earnings based on information relating to purchases of companies
with similar operations) of the Company's intangible assets, taking into
consideration any events and circumstances which might have diminished fair
value or otherwise affected the evaluation. No valuation allowances have been
recorded as a result of these analyses.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", which
will require the Company to review for impairment of long-lived assets and
identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Generally, if the
sum of expected future undiscounted cash flows of the asset is less than the
carrying amount, an impairment loss is required to be calculated. This Statement
is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1995. The Company has not yet determined the impact of this Statement but
does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial position or
results of operations.
REVENUE RECOGNITION AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Revenue is recognized as services are provided or the product is delivered
to customers. Billings to customers for services in advance of providing such
services are deferred and recognized as revenue when earned.
The Company's diversified customer base results in a lack of concentration
of credit risk. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its
customers to determine individual customer credit risks and has the ability to
terminate services for nonpayment. Credit losses have been within management's
expectations.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The computation of earnings (loss) per share is based upon the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive
effect of common shares contingently issuable, primarily from stock options,
exercise of warrants and convertible notes.
The computation reflects additional dilution (anti-dilution in periods of
losses in fiscal years prior to the initial public offering) related to common
stock and warrants issued and stock options granted as though they were issued
and outstanding during all periods presented. For these securities, dilution
arises when the market price at the end of the period (assuming the use of the
initial public offering price of $4 per share for all of fiscal 1994 and 1993
and through December 29, 1994 and market price from this date through May 31,
1995) is higher than the exercise or option price of such securities.
The average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock
equivalents used to calculate earnings per share were 3,686,704 in 1995, and
3,295,225 in 1994 and 1993.

</TABLE>
In conjunction with its initial public offering as discussed in Note 8, the
Company obtained $200,000 in bridge financing in August 1994 through the
issuance of a $150,000, 8% promissory note and a $50,000, 4% convertible
promissory note. These notes were due and payable 18 months from the date of
their issuance but were immediately due and payable upon closing of the
Company's initial public offering. The holder of the note (a related party at
February 28, 1995) had the option to convert the 4% convertible note, in whole
or in part, into one share of the Company's common stock for each $0.222 of
principal, or 225,225 shares if fully converted. Based on the nature of bridge
financing, the interest rates of 8% and 4% relating to the promissory note and
convertible promissory note, respectively, may not be reflective of the
effective market rate of interest when considering the conversion feature and
terms. Accordingly, interest expense charged to operations in the period the
notes were outstanding considers the estimated fair value of the Company's
common stock on the date the notes were issued, accordingly approximately
$503,000 was charged as interest expense on the notes during the period of
conversion. The $150,000, 8% promissory note was repaid and the $50,000 4%
promissory note was converted into 225,225 shares of Common Stock on December
29, 1994.
In addition to the $200,000 bridge financing discussed above, the Company
borrowed $215,000 in short-term bridge financing in 1995 from unaffiliated
lenders. In consideration for these loans, the Company issued the lenders
unsecured discount notes with a face amount which totaled $293,000, which were
repaid in January 1995.
In December 1994, the Company borrowed $19,392,000, including $19,172,000
payable to FINOVA Capital Corporation (FINOVA) and $220,000 payable under the
Financial advisory agreement as described in Note 7, in connection with the
acquisitions discussed in Note 11.

TELETOUCH COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)
The Company borrowed an additional $950,000 from FINOVA in April 1995.
Subsequent to May 31, 1995, in conjunction with the Dial Acquisition
discussed in Note 11 the Company modified the terms of its existing credit
facility with FINOVA and increased the facility by $35 million. The entire
FINOVA debt, with the exception of the loan fee payable of $173,000, bears
interest at a floating rate of the prime rate plus 2% or the London Interbank
Market Rate (LIBOR), plus 4%. The selection of interest rate method, prime rate
or LIBOR, is made periodically during the life of the loan by the Company. Under
the modified terms, the principal balance of the FINOVA loan will be repaid in
escalating quarterly installments beginning in April 1997 and ending in the
fiscal year 2003.
To obtain the term loan, the Company paid a $1,100,000 fee at closing.
Virtually all assets of the Company secure the term loan; certain cash
requirements and other minimum financial ratios must be maintained over the life
of the loan or the Company is subject to mandatory prepayment terms.
Additionally, the loan provisions prohibit the Company from paying dividends
during the term of the loan.
The Company also borrowed $10 million in 14% Junior Subordinated Notes due
in fiscal year 2003 from Continental Illinois Venture Corporation ("CIVC") and
certain other parties both related and unrelated to CIVC (together with CIVC,
the "CIVC Investors") in August 1995 as described in Note 11.
After giving effect to the new debt subsequent to May 31, 1995, scheduled
payments of long-term debt in fiscal years subsequent to May 31, 1995 are as
follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
1996.......................................................... $ 403,000
1997.......................................................... 1,250,000
1998.......................................................... 5,750,000
1999.......................................................... 6,900,000

2001 and thereafter........................................... 37,200,000
-----------
$59,903,000

</TABLE>
In accordance with the FINOVA debt agreement, the Company is required to use
interest rate protection agreements to protect at least 50% of the loan for at
least two years against significant increases in interest rates. The Company
entered into an interest rate protection agreement in August 1995. The agreement
protects the Company on a portion of debt against future LIBOR rate increases
above 8.875% through August 1996 and above 7.625% from August 1996 through
August 1997.
Cash paid for interest, including interest to related parties, during 1995,
1994 and 1993 was approximately $943,000, $149,000 and $113,000, respectively.

NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES
The liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this
method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and
liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be
in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
The Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $599,000
which is available to reduce future taxable income and will expire in 2010.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of
the Company's deferred income tax liabilities and assets as of May 31, 1995 and
1994 follow:

NOTE 6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Amounts due to related parties at May 31, 1995 and 1994 consist of a note to
Rainbow Resources, Inc. (primarily for federal income tax liabilities) which is
payable in 1996.
NOTE 7. FINANCIAL ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Company has a financial advisory agreement with its merger and
acquisition financial advisor related to services provided in connection with
the acquisition of Waco Communications, Inc. and Beepers Plus (Memphis,
Nashville and Jackson). This agreement provided for the payment of approximately
$110,000 and the issuance of 20,000 shares of the Company's common stock
relating to the purchase of Waco Communications, Inc. A fee of approximately
$230,000 also was paid to the financial advisor upon the acquisition of Beepers
Plus. In addition, the financial advisor was paid a loan fee of 2%, or $380,000,
of the term loan described in Note 2. Based upon the terms of the financial
advisory agreement, $500,000 of the total amount payable to the financial
advisor was paid at the closing of the acquisitions and the remaining $220,000
will be paid under the terms of an 8% promissory note due in May 1996. The
Company's merger and acquisitions financial advisor has previously provided
valuation services to the Company relating to its common stock.
NOTE 8. CHANGE IN CAPITALIZATION, MERGER AND INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
In July 1994, the Teletouch Corporation's ("Predecessor's") Articles of
Incorporation were revised to modify the Company's capital structure. The
authorized shares of common stock were increased from 50,000 to 10,000,000 and
the Board of Directors authorized a $.001 stated value. Additionally, 1,000,000
shares of preferred stock were authorized for future issuance. No terms and
F-73
<PAGE>
TELETOUCH COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 8. CHANGE IN CAPITALIZATION, MERGER AND INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING (CONTINUED)
preferences have been established for the preferred stock. Coincident with this
change, the Predecessor approved a 1,499-for-1 common stock split to effect the
change in capitalization. A total of 2,248,500 additional shares of common stock
were issued in connection with the stock split and $171,950 were reclassified
from common stock to additional paid-in capital. All shares and per share
amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the stock split and change
in capitalization.
In July 1994, the Predecessor formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Teletouch
Communications, Inc. (Company). The Company's authorized capital structure
allows for the issuance of 25,000,000 shares of common stock with a $0.001 par
value and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a $0.001 par value.
The terms and preferences for a portion of the preferred stock were
determined subsequent to fiscal 1995 and described in Note 11. No terms and
preferences have been established for the remaining portion of preferred stock.
All assets and liabilities of the Predecessor were merged into the Company and
each share of the outstanding common stock of the Predecessor was exchanged for
one share of the Company common stock.
In November 1994, the Company's Board of Directors approved the issuance of
Redeemable Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants to be issued in contemplation
of the Company's initial public offering as discussed below. Each Class A
Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock at an
exercise price of $4.50 for a term commencing immediately after issuance and
expiring five years from the date of issuance. The Company may redeem the Class
A Warrants at $0.10 per warrant, if specified minimum common stock trading
prices are maintained over a stated period. The Company has reserved the shares
underlying the Class A Warrants for future issuance.
On December 29, 1994, the Company consummated the initial public offering
(the "IPO") of its common stock and Redeemable Class A Common Stock Purchase
Warrants ("Class A Warrants"). In the IPO, the Company issued 2,300,000 shares
of common stock and 2,300,000 Class A Warrants (including the securities sold
under the underwriters' over-allotment option, which closed in full on December
30, 1994), which were initially sold together at an initial public offering of
$4.10. Each Class A Warrant carries the right to purchase a share of common
stock for $4.50 and may be redeemed by the Company at $0.10 per warrant if the
closing bid price of the common stock has been at least $5.625 for 15
consecutive trading days. As of May 31, 1995, all 2,300,000 Class A Warrants
remain outstanding. As part of the consideration to the Underwriters for their
services in connection with the public offering described herein, the Company
has agreed to issue to the Underwriters, for nominal consideration, the
Underwriters' Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 200,000 shares of Common
Stock at an exercise price of $5.60 per share and warrants to purchase, at a
price of $.10 per warrant, 200,000 warrants, each of which entitles the holder
to purchase one share of Common Stock on the same terms and conditions as the
Class A Warrants, except that the exercise price shall be $6.30 per share. The
Underwriters' Warrants will be non-redeemable by the Company. The Underwriters'
Warrants are exercisable for a period of four years beginning December 29, 1995.
The Company received net proceeds of approximately $7.4 million from the IPO.
The Company entered into a consulting arrangement effective in January 1994
for strategic business planning and consultation with the same party who
provided $200,000 in bridge financing referred to in Note 2. As a result of the
agreement, approximately $495,000 was charged to expense in fiscal 1994. The
arrangement provides for the issuance of common stock (430,000 shares) at a
subscription price of $0.12 per share and a warrant to purchase common stock
(400,000 shares) at $0.50 per share. The warrant is not exercisable until April
1995 and expires January 2004 and the underlying stock has been reserved for
future issuance of such shares. The estimated fair values in January 1994
assigned to the shares ($0.90 per share) and shares underlying the warrant
($0.90 per

share) to be issued in excess of the subscription or exercise price has been
charged to expense with a corresponding increase in common stock and additional
paid-in capital of $547,000. Additionally, a stock subscription receivable of
$52,000 was recorded for the shares issued in July 1994 and such amount was paid
in full, subsequent to May 31, 1995.
NOTE 9. SALE OF OPERATIONS
In June 1994, Teletouch sold its telephone answering service operations to
an unrelated party for $150,000 and recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately
$103,000. Revenues and operating expense associated with these operations for
the year ending May 31, 1994 were approximately $254,000 and $281,000,
respectively. Revenues and operating expenses for the year ended May 31, 1995
were not material.
NOTE 10. STOCK OPTIONS
The Company's 1994 Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Rights Plan (the
"1994 Plan") was adopted in July 1994 by Teletouch Corporation, and provides for
the granting of options and stock appreciation rights to officers, directors,
employees and consultants to purchase not more than an aggregate of 400,000
shares of Common Stock. The 1994 Plan provides for the grant of options intended
to qualify as "incentive stock options" under the Internal Revenue Code as well
as options which do not qualify under the Code.
The Plan also provides for grants of stock appreciation rights in connection
with the grant of options under the Plan. Upon election to the Board of
Directors, each nonemployee director of the Company is entitled to receive
options to purchase 10,000 shares which become fully vested and exercisable
immediately upon issuance. Through the fiscal year ended May 31, 1995, an
aggregate of 20,000 non-qualified options were issuable to the Company's
directors, exercisable at a price of $3.50 per share. The Company's Board of
Directors administers the Plan and has authority to determine the optionees to
whom awards will be made, the terms of vesting and forfeiture, amount of the
awards and other terms. Under the terms of the Plan, the option price approved
by the Board of Directors shall not be less than the fair market value of the
common stock at date of grant. During July 1994, 160,000 incentive options were
granted to three key employees of the Company under the 1994 plan that vest
ratably over three years and have an exercise price of $3 per share, which
management believes is greater than the estimated fair value of the Company's
common stock at date of grant. No options were exercised during fiscal 1995.
The Company has agreed to engage Sovran Financial Corp. ("SFC"), an
unaffiliated Florida-based company, and one of its officers, to provide investor
and public relations services for the Company subsequent to the Offering. In
consideration for providing such services, SFC receives a monthly retainer and
such officer has received an option to purchase 75,000 shares of Common Stock,
exercisable at a price of $4.80 per share. In addition, the Company plans to
issue an option to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of Common Stock,
exercisable 90 days after the grant at an exercise price equal to 120% of the
fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.
NOTE 11. ACQUISITIONS
On December 29, 1994, the Company consummated a Stock and Asset Purchase
Agreement with Beepers Plus of Memphis, Inc., Beepers Plus of Nashville and
Beepers Plus of Jackson Partnership (collectively "Beepers Plus") to acquire the
stock of Memphis and Nashville and substantially all of the assets and
liabilities of Jackson for $17,679,000 cash, subject to adjustment. The Company
immediately repaid certain of the total liabilities assumed (approximately
$2,980,000 at November 30, 1994). To finance this acquisition, the Company
obtained a $19,000,000 term loan from FINOVA Capital Corporation ("FINOVA"), a
financial institution, and used a portion of the proceeds of the
F-75
<PAGE>
TELETOUCH COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 11. ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)
IPO. To obtain the term loan, the Company paid a $190,000 fee at closing and
will pay a loan fee of $190,000 due on the first anniversary of the loan
closing. Additionally, the Company issued its lender 47,500 shares of Common
Stock at closing of the IPO for additional consideration of $190,000 in
financing fees.
On December 29, 1994, the Company acquired substantially all of the non-cash
assets and assumed certain liabilities of Waco Communications, Inc. (WCI) a
paging service in Waco, Texas for $2,908,000. A portion of the proceeds from the
IPO were used to finance this acquisition.
Pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of February
16, 1995 and amended and restated on August 3, 1995 (the "Purchase Agreement"),
Teletouch acquired substantially all of the non-cash assets and assumed selected
liabilities of Dial-A-Page, Inc. ("Dial") for a purchase price of approximately
$49.8 million (the "Dial Acquisition"), $46.4 million of which represents the
original purchase price recited in the Purchase Agreement and the balance of
approximately $3.4 million represents the net amount that was payable as a
consequence of the implementation of the adjustment provisions contained in the
Purchase Agreement. Teletouch incurred financing costs and professional fees
incident to the Dial Acquisition and the related financings discussed below, of
approximately $5 million. The Company estimates that of the total purchase price
payable in the Dial Acquisition, for financial reporting purposes, approximately
$15.8 million will be allocated to property, plant and equipment and inventory,
$600,000 to accounts receivable, $29.3 million to specifically identified
intangible assets, $1 million to current liabilities, and $100,000 to other
current assets, with the remaining amount allocated to excess of cost over the
fair value of net assets acquired.
Concurrently with the Dial Acquisition, Teletouch completed the private
placement of debt and equity securities with the CIVC Investors that provided
Teletouch with $25 million in financing in connection with the Dial Acquisition.
The Company issued and designated 15,000 shares of authorized preferred stock as
"Series A 14% Cumulative Preferred Stock" and 617,189 shares as "Series B
Preferred Stock". The CIVC Investors purchased $15 million in initial
liquidation value of 15,000 shares of Teletouch Series A Preferred Stock and $10
million of 14% Junior Subordinated Notes due in 2003 (the "Subordinated Notes").
Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock and interest on the Subordinated Notes
will each accrue at the rate of 14% per annum. Each share of Series A Preferred
Stock will become convertible into common stock based on a stated formula after
August 3, 2003. The CIVC Investors also received warrants, exercisable at a
nominal price, to purchase approximately 5,066,000 shares of Teletouch common
stock and approximately 617,000 shares of non-voting Series B Preferred Stock.
Each share of Series B Preferred Stock will become convertible into six shares
of Common Stock after two years or earlier upon the occurrence of an event of
default as specified by the purchase agreement. CIVC will have the right, after
two years, to require that its securities be registered for public sale. Also
completed concurrently with the Dial Acquisition was $35 million in additional
senior financing from Teletouch's existing senior lender, FINOVA, to complete
the Dial Acquisition and to provide working capital. Approximately $30 million
was borrowed under the loan of August 3, 1995, leaving $5 million available for
future borrowings. The additional $35 million brings the total senior financing
provided by FINOVA to approximately $55 million.
At May 31, 1995, the Company incurred and capitalized costs of $841,000
related to the Dial Acquisition. These costs will increase the purchase price of
the acquisition.
The following unaudited pro forma summary financial information presents the
results of operations of the Company as if the acquisitions (Beepers Plus, Waco
and Dial) and related financing had occurred at June 1, 1993. This summary may
not be indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition been made as
of this date or of results which may occur in the future. The historical
financial statements used to prepare the summary will reflect the acquisitions
from their effective

date of the acquisition forward, using the purchase method of accounting based
on estimated fair values of assets purchased and liabilities assumed. The
Beepers Plus historical results have been adjusted for the results of the
closing audit at December 29, 1994 based on the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
The pro forma results exclude the operations of Telepage, Inc. prior to its
acquisition by Dial in September, 1994.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Teletouch
Communications, Inc., and its subsidiaries ("Teletouch" or the "Company") for
the periods ended February 29, 1996 and February 28, 1995 have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent
basis. Significant accounting policies followed by the Company were disclosed in
the notes to the financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended May 31, 1995. The balance sheet at May 31, 1995
has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the
Company's management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements contain the material adjustments necessary to present fairly the
financial position of the Company at February 29, 1996 and May 31, 1995 and the
results of its operations and cash flows for the periods ended February 29, 1996
and February 28, 1995. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
achieved for the full year. The financial statements for the periods ended
February 29, 1996 and February 28, 1995 include the results of operations for
companies acquired by Teletouch from the effective date of the acquisition.
2. DEBT ISSUE COSTS
The debt issue costs of the Company ($3,193,000 at February 29, 1996 and
$954,000 at May 31, 1995) reflect costs incurred to obtain the FINOVA and CIVC
financings (see Note 4). These costs are being amortized over the term of the
related debt using the effective interest method.

4. ACQUISITIONS AND RELATED FINANCING
Pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of February
16, 1995 as amended and restated (the "Purchase Agreement"), Teletouch acquired
on August 3, 1995 substantially all of the non-cash assets and assumed selected
liabilities of Dial-A-Page, Inc. ("Dial") for a purchase price of approximately
$49.8 million (the "Dial Acquisition"), $46.4 million of which represents the
original purchase price specified in the Purchase Agreement and the balance of
approximately $3.4 million represents the net amount that was payable as a
consequence of the implementation of the adjustment provisions contained in the
Purchase Agreement. Teletouch incurred financing costs and professional fees
incident to the Dial Acquisition and the related financings discussed below of
approximately $5 million. Of the total purchase price payable in the Dial
Acquisition, for financial reporting purposes, approximately $14.3 million was
allocated to property, plant and equipment and inventory, $0.6 million to
accounts receivable, $29.4 million to specifically identified intangible assets
(primarily the subscriber base and FCC licenses), $0.9 million to current
liabilities, and $.1 million to other current assets, with the remaining amount
allocated to excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. This
acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
Concurrently with the Dial Acquisition, Teletouch completed the private
placement of debt and equity securities with Continental Illinois Venture
Corporation ("CIVC") and certain other parties

(UNAUDITED)
4. ACQUISITIONS AND RELATED FINANCING (CONTINUED)
both related and unrelated to CIVC (together with CIVC, the "CIVC Investors")
under which the CIVC Investors provided Teletouch with $25 million in financing
in connection with the Dial Acquisition. The CIVC Investors purchased $15
million in initial liquidation value of Teletouch Series A Cumulative Preferred
Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") valued at $7,016,000 and $10 million face
value of 14% Junior Subordinated Notes valued at $8,004,000, due in August 2003
(the "Subordinated Notes"). Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock and
interest on the Subordinated Notes will each accrue at the stated rate of 14%
per annum. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock will become convertible into
common stock in August 2003. The CIVC Investors also received warrants, exercis
able at a nominal price, to purchase approximately 5,066,000 shares of Teletouch
common stock and approximately 617,000 shares of Teletouch Series B Preferred
Stock. The warrants were valued at $5,766,000 and $4,214,000 for the common
stock and the Series B Preferred Stock, respectively. Each share of Series B
Preferred Stock is non-voting and will become convertible into six shares of
common stock after two years. Assuming all CIVC Investors warrants and preferred
stock are converted to common stock, such investors would have ownership of
approximately 62% of the Company's common shares outstanding at that time. The
CIVC Investors will have the right, after two years, to require that their
securities be registered for public sale at the Company's expense. The CIVC
Investors also have the right to designate up to three of seven members of
Teletouch's Board of Directors (four of seven after two years, or sooner in the
event of a default under certain operating covenants).
Also completed concurrently with the Dial Acquisition was $35 million in
additional senior financing from Teletouch's existing senior lender, FINOVA
Capital Corporation ("FINOVA"), to complete the Dial Acquisition and to provide
additional working capital. Approximately $30 million was borrowed under the
financing facility, leaving $5 million available for future financings and
working capital needs of the Company. The additional $35 million brings the
total senior financing provided by FINOVA to approximately $55 million.
On December 29, 1994, the Company acquired substantially all of the non-cash
assets and assumed certain liabilities of Waco Communications Inc. ("Waco"), a
paging service in Waco, Texas for approximately $2,908,000 (the "Waco
Acquisition"). Also on December 29, 1994, pursuant to the terms of its Stock and
Asset Purchase Agreement with Beepers Plus of Memphis, Inc. ("Memphis"), Beepers
Plus of Nashville, Inc. ("Nashville") and Beepers Plus of Jackson Partnership
("Jackson") (collectively "Beepers Plus"), the Company acquired the stock of
Memphis and Nashville and substantially all of the assets and liabilities of
Jackson for approximately $17,700,000 cash (the "Beepers Plus Acquisition"). The
Beepers Plus Acquisition and the Waco Acquisition were financed with proceeds
from the Company's initial public offering and a $19 million loan from FINOVA.
The results of operations for Waco and Beepers Plus have been included in the
Teletouch historical financial statements since their acquisition on December
29, 1994. The purchase method of accounting was used to reflect these
acquisitions.
The following unaudited pro forma summary financial information presents the
results of operations of the Company as if the acquisitions (Beepers Plus, Waco
and Dial) and related financings had occurred at June 1, 1994. This summary may
not be indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisitions been made as
of June 1, 1994 or of results which may occur in the future. The historical
financial statements used to prepare the summary reflect the acquisitions from
the effective date of the respective acquisitions forward, using the purchase
method of accounting based on estimated fair values of assets purchased and
liabilities assumed. The Beepers Plus historical results have been

In September 1995 Teletouch received notice from holders of certain warrants
that they have elected to exercise an aggregate of 466,777 Common Stock Purchase
Warrants and 56,867 Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Warrants. In January 1996
Teletouch received notice from holders of certain warrants that they have
elected to exercise an aggregate of 607,914 Common Stock Purchase Warrants and
74,063 Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Warrants. The total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding after the issuances is 6,347,416. The total number of
shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding after the issuance is 130,930.
6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In April 1996 the Company executed definitive agreements to purchase all of
the outstanding common stock of AACS Communications, Inc. for $1.9 million, and
substantially all of the paging assets of Warren Communications, Inc. for $5.0
million, Hyde's Stay-In-Touch Paging Inc. for $15.0 million, Dave Fant Company
(d/b/a/ Oklahoma Radio Systems) for $2.0 million, and Cimarron Paging, Inc. for
$1.8 million, (collectively the "Pending Acquisitions".) The Pending
Acquisitions are expected to close at various times during the fourth quarter of
fiscal year 1996 and the first quarter of fiscal year 1997. The purchase prices
for the Pending Acquisitions are subject to adjustment based on actual financial
performance. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Pending Acquisitions
collectively had approximately 96,000 pagers in service; $5,986,000 of revenue;
$2,933,000 of operating income; and $2,920,000 of total assets.
The Pending Acquisitions are subject to various conditions including due
diligence, approval by the Board of Directors of the Company and FCC, Regulatory
and other third-party approvals, including approval of FINOVA and the CIVC
Investors. The funds available from the FINOVA Loans are not sufficient to fund
the purchase price of all of the Pending Acquisitions. Accordingly, the Company
is negotiating with several sources for additional capital; however, there can
be no assurance that funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company
to complete these transactions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 1995
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BUSINESS
The Company rents and sells communication equipment and provides paging and
mobile phone services throughout the state of Arkansas and surrounding states.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The majority of the Company's customers are located in Arkansas and
surrounding states. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its
customers and generally does not require collateral. Customers make deposits for
pager rentals which the Company maintains as a reserve for potential credit
losses or equipment damage.
INVENTORY
Inventory is carried at the lower of costs (first-in, first-out method) or
market.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and such cost is depreciated by
the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes over the estimated
useful lives of the individual assets. For tax reporting purposes, accelerated
cost recovery methods are generally used.
The Company generally rents its equipment on a month to month basis. The
Company's investment in equipment under operating leases and equipment held for
lease totaled $8,426,835 less $6,369,547 of accumulated depreciation at July 31,
1995 and $7,485,807 less $4,436,912 of accumulated depreciation at December 31,
1994.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets are stated at cost, with such cost amortized by the
straight-line method generally as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Subscriber lists and noncompetition agreements.................... 5 years
Deferred financing costs.......................................... 8 years
Franchise and organization costs.................................. 10 years
Excess of cost over fair value of assets acquired................. 10 years
</TABLE>
Intangible assets and related accumulated amortization are removed from the
balance sheet when fully amortized.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 121,
ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO
BE DISPOSED OF. This statement will be adopted in the first quarter of 1996. The
Company does not expect Statement No. 121 to have a significant impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
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 amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW
The Company incurred long-term debt of $10,000 and $347,640 related to
equipment acquired during the seven months ended July 31, 1995 and the year
ended December 31, 1994, respectively.

portion of the balance available to be borrowed at a rate of 1/2% per annum.
$7,000,000 of the outstanding balance bears interest at a fixed rate of
9.99%. The remaining balance bears interest at a variable rate based on the
bank's prime rate plus 2.0% or the bank's certificate of deposit rate plus
3.5%. At July 31, 1995, the variable interest rate was 10.75% on this debt.
The borrowings are collateralized by substantially all assets of the
Company, except for equipment and vehicles specifically pledged to other
debt instruments. The Company must meet certain financial covenants in the
agreement. Management believes the Company was in substantial compliance
with these covenants at July 31, 1995. This debt was paid off on August 3,
1995 (see Note 9.)

During 1992, a pre-tax savings plan (the "Plan") was established for
employees in accordance with the provisions of section 401(k) of the Internal
Revenue Code. Employees who have completed one year of service with the Company,
are over the age of 21, and fulfill the statutory minimum hours of service
(1,000) during the year are eligible to participate in the Plan. Under the Plan,
employees are eligible to contribute up to limits specified by the Internal
Revenue Service, with the Company matching 50% of the first 6% of compensation
contributed by the employee. The Company's matching portion of Plan
contributions resulted in expense of $38,045 for the seven months ended July 31,
1995, and $56,980 and $35,915 for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993,

8. TELEPAGE, INC. ACQUISITION
On September 1, 1994, the Company acquired Telepage, Inc. in an asset sale
and purchase agreement. Telepage provided paging services primarily in eastern
Arkansas and western Tennessee. The acquisition included the majority of
Telepage's assets including its Federal Communication Commission licenses and
stations, equipment, subscriber lists, and rights under contracts. Certain
assets were excluded from the agreement including cash, real property, and
antenna towers. The total purchase price of $6,448,455 included a cash payment
of $4,762,097 and $1,686,358 five-year, 8.25% note, payable quarterly to the
seller. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded by additional
borrowings under the Company's revolving credit and term loan.
The Telepage purchase price allocation included $2,600,000 for a five-year
noncompetition agreement, $2,225,000 to subscription lists, $1,420,000 to
equipment and fixtures, and $254,000 to excess cost over fair value of assets
acquired. Telepage's operations are included in the accompanying financial
statements from the date of acquisition under the purchase method of accounting.
The excess cost over fair value of assets acquired is amortized on a straight
line method over 10 year. The subscription lists and noncompetition agreement
are amortized on a straight line method over 5 years.
The following unaudited pro forma summary financial information presents the
results of operations of the Company as if the Telepage, Inc. acquisition and
related financing had occurred at January 1, 1993. This summary may not be
indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition been made as of this
date or of results which may occur in the future. The historical financial
statements used to prepare the summary will reflect the acquisition from the
effective date of the acquisition forward, using the purchase method of
accounting based on estimated fair values of assets purchased and liabilities
assumed. The pro forma results exclude the operations of Telepage, Inc. for the
period June 1994 through August 1994, as the information was not readily
available.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS
The Company provides telecommunication services both to the general public
and to the businesses in the form of pager leasing and pager air time. It is
domiciled in Baton Rouge, La. but provides these services over an extended
region using agreements with other entities to provide network coverage.
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
In recording bad debt expense the Company uses the direct write-off method.
Accounts written-off are charged directly to bad debt expense and the accounts
receivable balance is credited. This is not in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles which require accrual of an allowance for
doubtful receivables. It is consistent, however, with Company policies since
inception, and is in keeping with industry trends to use this method. In
addition, the bulk of receivables are collected within thirty days and any
allowance for doubtful receivables pursuant to generally accepted accounting
principles would be immaterial.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
For financial statement reporting purposes the Company records depreciation
using the straight line method. Estimated useful lives range from three to seven
years. For income tax purposes the company uses accelerated cost recovery
methods. Estimated useful lives for tax purposes range from three to seven
years.
Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $45,989,
recapped as follows:

Equipment......................................... $ 45,212
Furniture/Fixtures................................ 777

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred.
DISPOSITIONS
Each year the Company writes off those pagers and equipment that it
considers either obsolete or no longer available for service.
For financial statement reporting purposes the company writes off this
equipment at its net book value. For income tax reporting purposes, the company
writes off these assets at net taxable value. The net book value of such items
written off as of December 31, 1995 for financial statement reporting purposes
was $8,124.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1995
NOTE 4. OPERATING LEASES
As of December 31, 1995 the Company leased its premises for the amount of
$875 per month under an agreement that expired that date. The lease agreement
allows for a one year renewal at lessee's option. The Company appears to be
operating on a month-to-month basis with the renewal not having been elected.
The minimum future rentals assuming a one year renewal are as follows:
1996.....................................................$10,500
NOTE 5. CONTINGENCIES
The Company is contingently liable for an amount owed to Associates Credit
on one of its notes payable in the amount of $26,522. The contingency arose from
a guarantee made by the Company on a note to Associates Credit that the Company
shares with an outsider (See Note 3).
NOTE 6. RETAINED EARNINGS
Historically, the Company has presented its financial information on the
income tax basis of accounting. For purposes of the audit for the year end
December 31, 1995, the Company is presenting its financial statements under
generally accepted accounting principles. Beginning retained earnings as of
January 1, 1995 were originally stated under the income tax basis of accounting.
Retained earnings were re-stated for generally accepted accounting principles.
The effect of the adjustment is reflected in the Statement of Retained Earnings.

WARREN COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS -- Warren Communications, Inc. was incorporated on May 1,
1991. The Company is domiciled in Lafayette, Louisiana, and is primarily in
business as a private paging carrier.
The Company generally services commercial, individual and governmental
customers in the South Central Louisiana region.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE -- The Company has established a specific reserve for
uncollectible accounts receivable. The allowance for uncollectible accounts
receivable at December 31, 1995 was $9,803 which equaled bad debt expense for
the year.
INVENTORY -- Inventory consists of new pagers held for resale and is stated
at the lower of cost or market.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT -- Property and equipment are stated at cost.
Expenditures for property and equipment which substantially increase the useful
lives of existing assets are capitalized at cost and depreciated. Routine
expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the
useful lives of the assets, which are generally five to seven years for
equipment and vehicles.
INCOME TAXES -- The Company has elected to be taxed under the provision of
Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Under those provisions, the Company
generally does not pay federal or state corporate income tax on its taxable
income. Instead, the stockholders are liable for individual income tax on the
Company's taxable income.
USE OF ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2 -- UNEARNED REVENUES
Unearned Revenues represents customer deposits and prepaid lease charges on
pagers and paging service at December 31, 1995.

NOTE 6 -- PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS
Retained Earnings at the beginning of 1995 has been adjusted to reflect the
following changes which had no effect on current period net income:
Accounts Payable were understated by $8,436 at December 31, 1994.
Accumulated Depreciation was corrected to reflect the use of the
straight-line method for recognizing depreciation instead of the modified
accelerated cost recovery system which had been erroneously used in prior years.
Fixed assets were also adjusted for a correction of errors made in capitalizing
certain assets. These changes resulted in an increase to Retained Earnings in
the amount of $55,707.
Other Receivables were understated by $5,230 at December 31, 1994.
Payroll Taxes Payable were overstated by $3,878 at December 31, 1994.
Beginning Retained Earnings were also reduced by the amount of $207,965 to
reflect a correction of capitalized pagers and the related depreciation expense
recorded in prior years. (See Note 7).
NOTE 7 -- LEASED PAGERS
In prior years, the Company capitalized all pager purchases and only
expensed a portion of the amount as Cost of Goods Sold. The capitalized pagers
were not adjusted for items lost, broken, or replaced. At December 31, 1995, the
Company scheduled the pagers which were currently being leased to customers or
held in stock. The records were then adjusted to reflect the documented count of
pagers which existed on that date. The count resulted in a reclassification of
$11,222 from Cost of Goods Sold to Fixed Assets in the current period and a
prior period adjustment as described in Note 6.
NOTE 8 -- CASH FLOW DISCLOSURE
Cash paid during the year for interest was $79,046.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Article Six of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant
provides that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers to the
maximum extent allowed by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Pursuant to
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant generally
has the power to indemnify its present and former directors and officers against
expenses and liabilities incurred by them in connection with any suit to which
they are, or are threatened to be made, a party by reason of their serving in
those positions so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Registrant, and with respect to any criminal action, so long as they had no
reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. With respect to suits by
or in the right of the Registrant, however, indemnification is generally limited
to attorneys' fees and other expenses and is not available if the person is
adjudged to be liable to the Registrant, unless the court determines that
indemnification is appropriate. The statute expressly provides that the power to
indemnify authorized thereby is not exclusive of any rights granted under any
bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
The Registrant also has the power to purchase and maintain insurance for its
directors and officers and has recently obtained such insurance.
The preceding discussion of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law is not
intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law.
The Registrant has entered into indemnity agreements with the Registrant's
directors and officers. Pursuant to such agreements, the Registrant will, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify such persons against all expenses,
judgments, fines and penalties incurred in connection with the defense or
settlement of any actions brought against them by reason of the fact that they
were directors or officers of the Registrant or assumed certain responsibilities
at the direction of the Registrant.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) (i) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(ii) To include any prospectus required in Section 10(a) (3) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");
(iii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the Registration Statement; and
(iv) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement
or any material change to such information in the Registration
Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or
section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 20 above, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that
uncertainty.
