5.   LONG-TERM DEBT

     In a transaction consummated on March 15, 1996, the Company borrowed
     $30,530,954 (out of a total credit facility commitment of $37,250,000) from
     Internationale Nederlanden (U.S.) Capital Corporation and one other lender
     (collectively know as "ING"). As of March 31, 1996, the Company has
     available under the credit facility $6,700,000 to fund future acquisitions
     and for general working capital purposes. The Company used the funds to
     complete the Paramount and IPP acquisitions, to repay all outstanding
     long-term debt and capital lease obligations which had a secured interest
     in the Company's installed phones ($8,503,405 of outstanding debt was
     repaid and $3,173,931 of the outstanding obligations under capital leases
     was repaid), to redeem the 10% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock ("10%
     Preferred"), 8% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock ("8% Preferred"), and
     7% Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock ("7% Preferred"), and
     to pay related transaction fees. The ING credit facility requires monthly
     interest payments at prime plus 5% and contains various covenants
     restricting the Company's ability to pay dividends or incur additional
     debt, among other conditions, and also contains financial covenants
     requiring minimum net worth, working capital and earnings before interest,
     depreciation and amortization among other covenants. The credit facility
     also contains a subjective acceleration clause which states that in the
     event of a material adverse change in the business, as determined by ING,
     ING can call the debt at its discretion. ING has waived their right to
     exercise this subjective acceleration clause through April 1, 1997.
     Principal payments commence September 1997, and continue quarterly through
     June 1999 at which time the remaining principal balance is due. The amount
     of the principal payment is contingent upon numerous factors, including the
     borrowing base and cash flow of the Company. All of the Company's installed
     phones are pledged as collateral to the ING credit facility.

     The majority of the ING credit facility (currently $29,000,000) can be
     converted into Series B Special Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.20 par
     value, $120 stated value, 250,000 shares authorized ("Series B Preferred"),
     at the ratio of 833 shares for each $100,000 in outstanding debt and
     accrued interest. Additionally, ING received warrants to purchase 204,824
     shares of Series A Special Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.20 par value,
     $0.20 stated value, 250,000 shares authorized ("Series A Preferred"), at an
     exercise price of $0.20 per share. Each share of Series A Preferred and
     Series B Preferred is convertible into 20 shares of Common Stock. The ING
     debt was recorded net of the fair value of the warrants. The Company has
     estimated the quarterly non-cash interest expense will be in excess of
     $756,000.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

ACQUISITIONS AND MERGERS

On March 15, 1996 the Company completed the acquisition of the outstanding
common stock of International Pay Phones, Inc. (a South Carolina company) and
International Pay Phones, Inc. (a Tennessee company) (collectively "IPP"),
companies affiliated through common ownership and management. The Company
acquired 2,101 installed phones for a purchase price of $3,496,487 in cash, and
555,589 unregistered shares of the Company's Common Stock, 5,453 shares of 14%
Preferred (immediately convertible into 54,530 shares of Common Stock), and
Nominal Value Warrants to purchase 117,785 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
Additionally, the Company assumed approximately $1,757,000 in liabilities, of
which $1,551,795 was repaid by the Company on March 15, 1996. The cash purchase
price included three five year non-compete agreements, with an aggregate value
of $60,000, with three of IPP's former officers.

On March 15, 1996, the Company completed a Share Purchase Agreement with
Paramount Communications Systems, Inc. (a Florida corporation) ("Paramount").
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company acquired 2,528 installed phones
for a cash purchase price of $9,618,553, 8,333 shares of 14% Preferred Stock
(immediately convertible into 83,330 shares of Common Stock), Nominal Value
Warrants to purchase 179,996 shares of the Company's Common Stock, and the
Company assumed outstanding liabilities of approximately $733,000, of which
$697,947 was repaid on March 15, 1996. The purchase price included a five year
consulting and non-compete agreement, valued at $50,000, with one of Paramount's
former officers.

The acquisitions were recorded as purchases and the differences between the fair
values of the tangible assets acquired and the total purchase price was recorded
as an increase to intangibles and amortized over the life of the acquired
location contracts which was estimated to be 60 months. The results of
operations of each acquired company are included in the results of operations of
the Company from March 15, 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In a transaction consummated on March 15, 1996, the Company borrowed $30,530,954
(out of a total credit facility commitment of $37,250,000) from Internationale
Nederlanden (U.S.) Capital Corporation and one other lender (collectively know
as "ING"). As of March 31, 1996, the Company had available under the credit
facility $6,700,000 to fund future acquisitions and for general working capital
purposes. The Company used the funds to complete the Paramount and IPP
acquisitions, to repay all outstanding long-term debt and capital lease
obligations which had a secured interest in the Company's installed phones
($8,503,405 of outstanding debt was repaid and $3,173,931 of the outstanding
obligations under capital leases was repaid), to redeem the 10%, 8%, and 7%
Preferred, and to pay related transaction fees. The ING credit facility requires
monthly interest payments at prime plus 5% and contains various covenants
restricting the Company's ability to pay dividends or incur additional debt,
among other conditions, and also contains financial covenants requiring minimum
net worth, working capital and earnings before interest, depreciation and
amortization among other covenants. The credit facility also contains a
subjective acceleration clause which states that in the event of a material
adverse change in the business, as determined by ING, ING can call the debt at
its discretion. ING has waived their right to exercise this subjective
acceleration clause through April 1, 1997. Principal payments commence

September 1997, and continue quarterly through June 1999 at which time the 
remaining principal balance is due. The amount of the principal payment is
contingent upon numerous factors, including the borrowing base and cash flow of
the Company. All of the Company's installed phones are pledged as collateral to
the ING credit facility.

The majority of the ING credit facility (currently $29,000,000) can be converted
into Series B Preferred at the ratio of 833 shares for each $100,000 in
outstanding debt and accrued interest. Additionally, ING received warrants to
purchase 204,824 shares of Series A Preferred at an exercise price of $0.20 per
share. Each share of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred is convertible
into 20 shares of Common Stock. The ING debt was recorded net of the fair value
of the warrants. The Company has estimated the quarterly non-cash interest
expense will be in excess of $756,000.

On March 15, 1996, concurrent with the ING transaction, the Company redeemed the
10%, 8%, and 7% Preferred. The redemption price was cash payments aggregating
$1,117,371 and 34,434 shares of 14% Preferred. In the aggregate, $6,475,011 of
the Company's outstanding obligations, including portions of the purchase price
for the IPP and Paramount acquisitions, was liquidated by issuing 107,918.19
shares of 14% Preferred. The $2,002,386 excess of the redemption price of the
preferred issues redeemed over their aggregate carrying value was recorded as a
reduction of earnings available to common shareholders on March 15, 1996.

On March 15, 1996, Nominal Value Warrants to purchase 2,018,942 shares of Common
Stock were issued in conjunction with the IPP and Paramount acquisitions,
redemption of the 10%, 8%, and 7% Preferred, and conversion of certain debt of
the Company to the 14% Preferred. The warrants expire on March 13, 2001.

At March 31, 1996, long-term debt, including the current portion and excluding
the portion allocated to the ING warrants, was $23,097,575 and obligations under
capital leases, including the current portion, amounted to $255,311 compared
with $10,328,913 and $3,532,937 at December 31, 1995, an increase of $12,768,662
in long-term debt and a decrease of $3,277,626 in obligations under capital
leases. Total long-term debt outstanding, including the current portion and the
amount allocated to the ING warrants, was $32,920,910 at March 31, 1996. The
overall increase is mostly attributable to debt incurred in connection with the
IPP and Paramount acquisitions.

The Company had a working capital deficit of $4,751,108 at March 31, 1996,
compared to a working capital deficit of $4,843,524 at December 31, 1995, an
improvement of $92,416. Income before non-cash items, contractual settlements
and restructuring charges, interest, and the extraordinary loss on debt
restructuring was $596,653 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, compared
to $207,562, for the three months ended March 31, 1995, an increase of $389,091.
Cash flows used in operations in the first quarter of 1996 amounted to
$1,987,562 a decrease of $2,287,012 over cash provided by operations in first
quarter of 1995 of $299,450, mostly due to the larger loss in the first quarter
of 1996 and repayment of significant payables.

Management believes, but can not assure, that cash flow from operations, the
proceeds and the availability under the credit facility discussed above and
other financial alternatives will be sufficient to allow the Company to sustain
its operations and meet its obligations over the next twelve months.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

At March 31, 1996, the Company had approximately 14,622 installed phones
compared to 4,950 at March 31, 1995, an increase of 9,672 installed phones, or
195.4%. The increase in installed phones is attributable to phones acquired in
acquisitions and internal growth.

REVENUE

Total revenue from all product lines was $6,624,018 and $3,773,315 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, representing an increase of
$2,850,703, or 75.5%, in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 over 1995. Revenue by
type is described below.

Revenues from coin calls increased to $4,469,209 in the first quarter of 1996
from $2,331,105 in 1995, an increase of $2,138,104 or 91.7%. This increase is
attributable primarily to an increase in the number of installed pay telephones.
Total installed pay phones increased by 9,672, with the majority of the increase
occurring in the fourth quarter of 1995 and the first quarter of 1996 and
attributable to the Company's recent acquisitions.

Non-coin revenue increased to $1,908,882 in the first quarter of 1996 from
$1,301,288 in 1995, an increase of $607,594, or 46.7%. The increase was
primarily due to more revenue producing phones, however, this increase was
offset due to a reduction in operator assisted calls because of aggressive dial
around advertising by AT&T, MCI, and others. The Company decided to outsource
its operator service center and a substantial portion of the traffic was moved
to the subcontractor by March 31, 1996. Operator services are provided by a
subcontractor that is better equipped to handle the increased volume which is
expected from the recent acquisitions.

Dial around compensation increased to $202,764 for the three months ended March
31, 1996 as compared to $115,744 for the three months ended March 31, 1995, an
increase of $87,020 or 75.2%. This increase was primarily the result of
increased telephones.

Commission revenue consists of compensation received from various telephone
providers. Commission revenue increased to $43,163 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 as compared to $25,178 for the first three in 1995, an increase
of $17,985 or 71.4%. This increase was primarily the result of the acquisitions.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

Line charges were $1,602,040, or 24.2 % of revenues, for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 as compared to $813,343, or 21.6% of revenues, for the three
months ended March 31, 1995 as a result, in part, from increased coin calls
resulting from the $0.75 Long Distance Call Program as well as increases in
certain local telephone company line charges.

Operator services processing charges were $827,100, or 12.5% of revenues, for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to $561,030, or 14.9% of
revenues, for the comparable quarter in 1995 primarily due to the outsourcing of
the operator service center.

Location commissions were $1,159,466, or 17.5% of revenues, for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 compared to $629,700, or 16.7% of revenues, for the
comparable quarter in 1995 as a result of location agreements from phones
acquired in the acquisition of World and Public and due to increased competition
in obtaining new locations.

Other operating expenses were $1,307,641, or 19.7% of revenues, for the three
months ended March 31, 1996, compared to $941,636, or 25% of revenues, for the
three months ended March 31, 1995. The increase was the result of higher
personnel costs, rent, utilities and service related expenses attributable to
acquisitions completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 and the first
quarter of fiscal 1996, the increase in the Company's pay telephone base, and
the additional field personnel to accommodate the increased business. Management
anticipates economies of scale resulting from the acquisitions completed in the
fourth quarter of 1995 and those acquisitions completed in 1996 will be realized
in 1996, resulting in the stabilization of operating expenses as a percentage of
total revenues.

Depreciation and amortization was $2,006,677, or 30.3% of revenues, for the
three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to $700,900, or 18.6% of revenues
for the three months ended March 31, 1995. This increase was primarily due to
the Company's acquisitions and expansion of its pay telephone base which
included purchases of additional computer equipment, service vehicles and
software which were made to accommodate the Company's growth.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,151,739, or 17.4% of
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $625,044, or
16.6% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 1995. The increase was
primarily the result of the acquisitions.

Interest expense was $370,479, or 5.6% of revenues, for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, compared to $103,291, or 2.7% of revenues, for the quarter ended
March 31, 1995 due to the financing obtained for the recent acquisitions.
Non-cash interest expense was $297,974, or 4.5% of revenues, for the three
months ended March 31, 1996, representing the accretion of the ING debt to its
maturity amount.

Contractual settlements and restructuring charges were $577,375, or 8.7% of
revenues, for the first three months of 1996, as compared to $0 for the first
three months of 1995. Contractual settlements and restructuring charges consist
primarily of the costs associated with the write-off of selected assets in
connection with the continued evaluation of the Company's operations and certain
one-time charges and consulting fees incurred for changes to the operations of
the Company.

The Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $816,559, or 12.3% of revenues,
for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The extraordinary loss related to
additional one-time costs that were incurred on the restructuring of the
Company's debt and obligations under non-cancelable capital leases. Concurrent
with the restructuring of the Company's debt and the redemption of the 10%, 8%
and 7% Preferred, the Company recorded the difference between the carrying value
of the 10%, 8%, and 7% Preferred and the redemption price as a decrease to the
accumulated deficit of $2,002,386, of which $1,255,736 was a non-cash accounting
entry. As of March 31, 1996, the Company owed cumulative dividends on the 14%
Preferred of 664.12 shares of 14% Preferred valued at $27,249.

IMPACT OF SEASONALITY

The seasonality of the Company's revenues from vended pay telephones, reselling
operator assisted long distance services, and national and regional account
management parallels that of the location from which the calls are placed. Since
a large concentration of these telephones are in shopping malls, the greatest
portion of the Company's revenue is earned in the fourth quarter due to the
increased holiday traffic. The Company phones in the northern and western
states, located outdoors, experienced greater than expected reduced revenues due
to the record breaking 1995/1996 winter weather.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company. It is possible that
during inflationary periods, the basic line charges may increase while public
utilities and/or service commissions or the Federal Communications Commission
may not allow increases in charges to customers.
