          Shared Technologies Inc.
          Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
          June 30, 1995
          (Unaudited)

          1. Basis of Presentation:  The consolidated financial statements
          included herein have been prepared by Shared Technologies Inc.
          (the Company) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
          Securities and Exchange Commission and reflect all adjustments,
          consisting  only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in
          the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement
          of the results for interim periods.  Certain information and
          footnote disclosures have been omitted pursuant to such rules and
          regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures
          are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
          It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be
          read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
          and the notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 1994
          report on Form 10-K.  Certain reclassifications to prior year
          financial statements were made in order to conform to the 1995
          presentation.

          2. Income Taxes: The Company and its subsidiaries file a
          consolidated federal income tax return but generally file
          separate state income tax returns.  As of December 31, 1994, the
          Company has net operating loss carryforwards for federal income
          tax purposes of approximately $22.7 million, which expire, if
          unused, from 2001 to 2007.

          3. Acquisitions:  In June 1994, the Company acquired all of the
          partnership interests in Access Telecommunication Group, L.P. and
          Access Telemanagement, Inc. (collectively Access).  The purchase
          price was $9,252,000, of which $4,252,000 was paid in cash and
          the balance through the issuance of 400,000 shares of Series E
          Preferred Stock valued at $3.75 per share and 700,000 shares of
          Series F Preferred Stock valued at $5.00 per share.

          Unaudited proforma consolidated statements of operations for the
          six-month period ended June 30, 1994 as through the acquisition
          of Access had been made at the beginning of the period are as
          follows:

          Net Income Per Share                      $0.16

          On June 30, 1995 the Company purchased all of the outstanding
          capital stock of Office Telephone Management ("OTM").  OTM
          provides telecommunication management services primarily to
          businesses located in executive office suites.  The purchase
          price is currently allocated as follows:

          </TABLE>


          In May and June 1995, the Company's cellular subsidiary Shared
          Technologies Cellular, Inc. ("STC") commenced management and
          subsequently completed its acquisition of the outstanding capital
          stock of Cellular Hotline, Inc. ("Hotline") for $617,000.  The
          $617,000 was comprised of $367,000 in cash, paid at closing, and
          the issuance of 50,000 shares of STC common stock.  At the
          discretion of the former Hotline stockholders, STC is required to
          repurchase all or a portion of the shares for $5.00 per share, at
          any time during the period commencing three months and ending six
          months after June 19, 1995.  STC has the right to repurchase all
          or a portion of the shares for $6.00 during the same period.
          Additionally at closing, STC issued options to purchase 50,000
          additional shares of STC common stock, exercisable at $7.50 per
          share for three years.  The agreement provides for additional
          payments based upon attaining certain levels of activation
          revenues, as defined, over a one year period.

          Pro forma financial information is not yet available.

          4. Contingencies:  While providing services at the Jacob K.
          Javits Convention Center in 1991, the Company licensed the right
          to provide certain public pay telephone services at the Center to
          Tel-A-Booth Communications, Ltd.  In 1992, Tel-A-Booth filed a
          claim against the New York Convention Center Operating
          Corporation and its facilities manager, Ogden Allied Facility
          Management, and against the Company seeking $10,000,000 in
          damages for which no amounts have been provided in the
          accompanying consolidated financial statements. While any
          litigation contains an element of uncertainty, management is of
          the opinion based on the current status of the claim that the
          ultimate resolution of this matter should not have a material
          adverse effect upon either results of operations, cash flows or
          financial position of the Company.

          On January 17, 1995, the Company's subsidiary Shared Technologies
          Cellular, Inc. ("STC") filed a complaint against South (which
          includes its affiliates).  The complaint alleges that the failure
          by South to disclose a certain claim constituted a breach of the
          asset purchase agreement. STC seeks damages and a declaratory
          judgment that the payment in the Company's common stock to South,
          pursuant to the agreement, should be reduced by the amount of any
          damages caused to the Company by such breach.  In addition, the
          Company seeks indemnification from South, including requiring
          South to defend the Company from and against such claim.

          On January 27, 1995, South commenced an action against STC
          alleging, among other things, that STC's failure to deliver to
          South the Company's common stock under the asset purchase
          agreement constituted a breach of contract and fraud.  South is
          seeking unspecified actual and punitive damages of  not less than
          $10,000,000.  STC sought a stay of this action and is considering
          depositing the Company's common stock with the Court.  Although
          it has not received an opinion of counsel with regard to this
          matter, STC believes it has meritorious defenses to this action.
          In the event of an adverse outcome in this action, the Company
          does not believe that damages payable would be material unless
          the market value of the Company's common stock materially
          decreases prior to delivery thereof.

          In addition to the above matters, the Company is a party to
          various legal actions, the outcome of which, in the opinion of
          management, will  not have a material adverse effect on the
          Company's financial condition and results of operations.

          5. Gain on sale of subsidiary stock:  In April, 1995, the
          Company's cellular subsidiary Shared Technologies Cellular, Inc.
          ("STC") completed its SB-2 filing with the Securities and
          Exchange Commission and became a public company.  Prior to this
          date STC had been an approximately 86% owned subsidiary of the
          Company.  STC sold 950,000 shares of common stock at $5.25 which
          generated net proceeds of $3,562,000, after underwriters'
          commissions and estimated offering expenses.  These proceeds are
          intended to be used to finance marketing activities relating to
          STC's cellular telephone rental service ($1.15 million),
          repayment of indebtedness to the Company ($1.25 million),
          acquisition of telecommunication equipment, billing technology
          management information systems and centralized reservation
          systems ($.5 million) and the balance for working capital and
          general corporate purposes.  The net effect on the consolidated
          financial statements for the second quarter was a gain of
          approximately $1,375,000.

          The Company's revenues rose to $27,710,000 for the six months
          ended June 30, 1995, an increase of $10,689,000 or 63% over the
          six months ended June 30, 1994.  Revenues rose to $14,867,000 for
          the three month period ended June 30, 1995 an increase of
          $5,742,000 or 63% over the three month period ended June 30,
          1995.  Each division continued to contribute significantly to the
          increase in revenue.  Shared tenant services (STS) increased
          $4,721,000 or 27%, facility management services (FMS) grew
          $4,598,000 or 86% and Shared technologies cellular services (STC)
          rose $1,370,000 or 26% for the six months ended June 30, 1995
          over the six months ended June 30, 1994.  The majority of the
          growth in STS and FMS revenue was attributable to the June 30,
          1994 acquisition of Access Telecommunications Group, L.P.
          (Access).  The growth in STC revenues was due to expanded
          operations through the opening of new locations and recent
          acquisitions.

          Gross margin dropped to 39% of revenue for the six months ended
          June 30, 1995 from 45% for the six months ended June 30, 1994.
          Gross margin decreased to 38% of revenue for the three months
          ended June 30, 1995 compared to 46% for the three months ended
          June 30, 1994.  For the six months ended June 30, 1995, STS
          produced a 44% gross margin and FMS a 21% gross margin compared
          to 47% and 12% for the period ended June 30, 1994.  For the three
          months ended June 30, 1995 STS produced a 45% gross margin and
          FMS a 21% gross margin compared to  48% and 12% for the period
          ended June 30, 1994.  Changes in both of these division's gross
          margin is mainly attributable to the acquisition of Access which
          significantly changed the Company's revenue mix.  STC gross
          margin dropped to 42% and 38% for the six and three months ended
          June 30, 1995 from 46% and 47% for the six and three months ended
          June 30, 1994.  This drop is mainly due to the acquisition of
          Hotline which has historically produced lower gross margin than
          the core business and the 1994 second quarter World Cup cellular
          rentals which produced unusually high margins.

          The Company's overall gross margin is heavily impacted by swings
          in sales mix as each of the Company's three divisions produce
          different gross margins.  FMS accounted for 19% and 22% of total
          sales for the six and three months ended June 30, 1995 compared
          to 4% for the same periods ended June 30, 1994.  Since FMS
          produces significantly lower gross margin than STS and STC, this
          increase caused the Company's overall gross margin to decrease.


          Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
          revenue decreased to 37% for the six and three months ended June
          30, 1995 compared to 39% and 38% for the six and three months
          ended June 30, 1994.  The Company was able to reduce cost as a
          percentage of revenue through synergy's created with the
          Company's overall growth.  This was partially offset in the last
          three months as STC has added overhead costs as it aggressively
          grows the cellular business following its April 1995 public
          offering.


          Interest expense increased by $203,000 for the six months ended
          June 30, 1995 over the six months ended June 30, 1994 and $94,000
          for the three months ended June 30, 1995 over the three months
          ended June 30, 1994.  This is attributable to the addition of
          interest bearing debt since June 1994.


          In late April 1995 the Company successfully completed a public
          offering of its cellular subsidiary's stock.  Following the sale
          the Company's percentage of ownership dropped from 86% to 60%.
          The accounting treatment of the sale required the Company to
          record a gain of approximately $1,375,000 for six and three
          months ended June 30, 1995.


          Liquidity and Capital Resources
          --------------------------------

          The Company's working capital deficit at June 30, 1995 was
          $1,517,000 compared to $3,691,00 at June 30, 1994.  Stockholders'
          equity at June 30, 1995 was $23,756,000 compared to $19,848,000
          at June 30, 1994.

          Net cash provided by operations decreased to $836,000 for the six
          months ended June 30, 1995 versus $1,776,000 for the six months
          ended June 30, 1994.  The Company continued to utilize cash from
          operations to reduce the working capital deficit.

          The Company continued to invest in equipment at both new and
          existing locations.  $1,850,000 was spent on capital expenditures
          for the six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to $1,190,000 for
          the six months ended June 30, 1994.  The Company has also
          continued to expand through acquisition, investing $2,592,000 in
          1995 to acquire Office Telephone Management, Inc. and Cellular
          Hotline, Inc.  During 1994 $8,780,000 was invested to acquire
          Access Telecommunication Group, L.P. (Access) comprised of
          3,780,000 of cash and the remaining portion in preferred stock.

          Cash to finance this growth and help reduce the working capital
          deficit was provided mainly from financing activities.  During
          the first six months of 1995 $1,160,000 was raised from sales of
          new stock, $3,149,000 from an initial public offering of the
          Company's cellular subsidiary, and $2,294,000 from new
          borrowings.  A portion of these proceeds were used to repay
          $1,195,000 in principal debt.  During 1994 $4,830,000 was raised
          from financing activities, the majority of the proceeds came from
          sales of stock and new borrowings.  These proceeds were used to
          finance the purchase of Access and repay existing debt.

          The Company plans to continue to reduce the working capital
          deficit and to expand operations throughout 1995.  This growth is
          expected to be financed with cash from operations and new
          borrowings.
