PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
COMPANY OVERVIEW
InterAmericas Communications Corporation (the "Company") is a growing
provider of a wide range of telecommunications services over state-of-the-art
fiber optic networks in Santiago, Chile and Lima, Peru. Santiago, the capital of
Chile, has a population of approximately 5.4 million people. Lima, and its
adjacent port city of Callao, has a combined population of approximately 6.4
million people. The Company's strategy is to provide advanced telecommunications
services in selected markets in Latin America, where market deregulation and
high demand for access to emerging telecommunications networks and services
should create significant opportunities for early market entry and expansion.
Currently, the Company has two major wholly owned subsidiaries.
Its Chilean subsidiary, Hewster-Chile ("Hewster"), provides business to
business communication to end users and other carriers in Santiago with high
quality voice and data digital communications services on a private line basis
through a 120 kilometer fiber optic network. In addition, Hewster-Chile provides
its customers with local and wide area network design, engineering,
installation, systems integration and support services.
Its Peruvian subsidiary, Red de Servicios Empresariales de
Telecomunicaciones, S. A. ("Resetel"), intends to provide services similar to
Hewster, on a private line basis through a fiber optic network in metropolitan
Lima. Currently, the Company has installed approximately 30 kilometers of its
fiber optic network and plans to complete the installation of another 110
kilometers of fiber optic cable by the end of 1997.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included
herein have been prepared by the Company. The foregoing statements contain all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments which are, in the
opinion of the Company's management, necessary to present fairly the
consolidated financial position of the Company as of June 30, 1997, the
consolidated results of its operations for the three month and six month periods
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, and its consolidated cash flows for the six month
period ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited condensed
consolidated financial
7
<PAGE> 8
statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 1996 audited
financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto.
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis
of accounting, which contemplates realization of assets and liquidation of
liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has incurred
operating losses since its inception while investing in the infrastructure
necessary to generate significant operating revenues in the future. In addition,
the Company has funded a significant amount of capital expenditures over the
same time period. The Company's continued funding of its operating expenses,
working capital needs and capital expenditures is dependent on its ability to
raise additional financing in the future. The Company is continuously looking to
access both the public and private capital markets through the issuance of
equity or debt securities or bank loans. Historically, the Company has been
successful in raising such funds. However, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be successful in the future in raising such funds.
NOTE 1 -- RESTRICTED BANK DEPOSITS AND BANK LINES OF CREDIT
Restricted bank deposits are held by banks that require such deposits
to be maintained in support of loans made to certain of the Company's
subsidiaries.
NOTE 2 -- CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND INTEREST EXPENSE
On February 3, 1997, the Company issued $1.5 million aggregate
principal amount of 7% Convertible Debentures due February 3, 2000 and Warrants
to purchase an aggregate 100,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. On May 6,
1997 the Company issued $2.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8%
Convertible Debentures due April 30, 1998 and Warrants to purchase an aggregate
25,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The 7% Convertible Debentures and
the 8% Convertible Debentures are collectively referred to as the "Convertible
Debentures".
The Convertible Debentures are convertible based on predetermined
formulas, at the option of the Holders, into Common Stock at any time prior to
maturity at a conversion price that will be less than the closing bid price as
reported by the NASDAQ Small Cap Market at time of conversion. In addition, at
the option of the Company, the Convertible Debentures may be redeem at
predefined premium amounts. In connection with the Convertible Debentures the
Company is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
a registration statement covering a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock
into which the Convertible Debentures may be converted (the "Registered
Shares"). As of August 19, 1997, the Company had not filed such registration
statements with the SEC. Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Debentures the
Company will be required to pay the Holders certain penalties until such time
as the Company either files the registration statement or redeems the
Convertible Debentures.
Interest costs reported with respect to the Company's Convertible
Debentures include interest expense related to the stated coupon rate of
interest, the value attributable to the ability of the holders to convert the
debentures at a share price less than the closing bid price (as reported by the
NASDAQ Small Cap Market) at time of conversion ("beneficial conversion
features") and amortization of (i) deferred financing costs and (ii)
8
<PAGE> 9
original issue discounts related to detachable warrants. The value attributable
to the beneficial conversion features have been expensed at date of issuance
because the agreements could allow holders of the Convertible Debentures to
convert at that date. As a result, for the six months and three months ended
June 30, 1997 the Company expensed $810,000 and $500,000, respectively, related
to the fair value (noncash) of the beneficial conversion features.
The Company may redeem the Convertible Debentures prior to conversion.
If the Company redeems all of the Convertible Debentures it could pay redemption
premiums of approximately $850,000. At the time of redemption, the Company would
report the redemption premiums as an extraordinary loss, offset by $810,000
related to the value of the beneficial conversion features recorded in the
Company's historical financial statements for the six months ended June 30,
1997.
NOTE 3 -- STOCK GRANTS
During July 1997 the Company issued 80,000 shares of Common Stock to a
related party in order to extinguish a $240,000 obligation for consulting
services that were rendered and accrued for as of December 31, 1996. The value
assigned to the Shares approximated the quoted market price of the NASDAQ
SmallCap Market on date of grant.
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS,
FINANCIAL CONDITIONS, AND LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements set forth below constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor statements provided under the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors
that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company,
or industry results, to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Given these uncertainties, investors and creditors are cautioned not
to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996
The Company's sales for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were
$585,484 as compared to $112,921 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. This
increase of approximately $473,000 was attributable to the acquisition of
Hewster Servicios Intermedios, S.A. on July 31, 1996.
The Company's cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was
$667,739 as compared to $373,203 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. This
increase of approximately $295,000 was attributable to additional costs related
to the services provided by Hewster.
The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A) for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $1,753,715 as compared to $1,080,729 for
the for the six months ended June 30, 1996. This increase of approximately
$673,000 was primarily attributable to an increase in corporate expenses related
to salaries, professional fees and travel attributable to the ongoing support of
the Company's subsidiary operations as well as corporate development
opportunities, and expenses attributable to the Company's Resetel and Hewster
subsidiaries which were acquired by the Company in May and July 1996,
respectively.
The Company's interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1997
was $530,668 as compared to $77,937 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. This
increase of approximately $453,000 was due to additional financing costs related
to the issuance of convertible debentures in February and May 1997. The Company
capitalized $500,000 of interest in connection with the Company's construction
of its fiber optic network in Lima, Peru.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996
The Company's sales for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were
$261,316 as compared to $54,453 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. This
increase of approximately $207,000 was attributable to the acquisition of
Hewster Servicios Intermedios, S.A. on July 31, 1996.
The Company's cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 1997
was $351,362 as compared to $213,518 for the three months ended June 30, 1996.
This increase of approximately $138,000 was attributable to additional costs
related to the services provided by Hewster.
The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A) for
the three months ended June 30, 1997 were $938,422 as compared to $702,902 for
the three months ended June 30, 1996. This increase of approximately $236,000
was primarily attributable to an increase in corporate expenses related to
salaries, professional fees and travel attributable to the ongoing support of
the Company's subsidiary operations as well as corporate development
opportunities, and expenses attributable to the Company's Resetel and Hewster
subsidiaries which were acquired by the Company in May and July 1996,
respectively.
10
<PAGE> 11
in May and July 1996, respectively, offset by a overall reduction in general
corporate expenses as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year.
The Company's interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1997
was $507,036 as compared to $47,132 for the three months ended June 30, 1996.
This increase of approximately $460,000 was due to additional financing costs
related to the issuance of convertible debentures in February and May 1997
offset by $368,000 of interest that was capitalized in connection with the
Company's construction of its fiber optic network in Lima, Peru.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has experienced operating losses since its inception as a
result of efforts to construct its network infrastructure, build its customer
base, develop its systems, compensate new employees and expand into new markets.
On a cost effective basis, the Company expects to continue to focus on
increasing its customer base, internal resources and geographic coverage.
Accordingly, the Company expects that its cost of sales, SG&A and capital
expenditures will continue to increase significantly, all of which may have a
negative impact on operating results for the foreseeable future. The Company
expects to incur significant operating losses and to generate negative cash
flows from operating and construction activities during the next several years
while it further develops its business and installs and expands its fiber optic
network.
Should the Company not be able to obtain the necessary financing to
further develop its operations, the Company's business and prospects would be
materially adversely affected and the Company would be required to delay capital
and other expenditures. This, in turn, would delay the anticipated revenue
streams associated with those projects until such time, if any, that such
financing becomes available. The Company currently is aggressively pursuing a
number of alternatives with respect to short and long- term financing in order
to further develop its fiber optic networks.
Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30,
1997 was approximately $2,076,000 as compared to approximately $842,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1996. Cash used in operating activities relate
primary to operational, administrative and business development expenses
incurred prior to the generation of revenues.
Cash flows used in investing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 1997 was approximately $1,555,000. These funds were used primarily to
expand the Company's fiber optic networks in Peru.
Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June
30, 1997 approximated $3.3 million and relates primarily to the proceeds
received from the issuance of convertible debentures in February and May 1997.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION
The Company does not believe that inflation had any significant impact
on operations in 1996, nor does it expect that it will have any significant
impact on operations throughout 1997.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share." This statement is effective for financial statements issued for periods
ending after December 15, 1997. SFAS 128 supersedes APB Opinion No. 15 and
replaces primary and fully diluted EPS with basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is
computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted
average common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS includes all dilutive potential
common shares. Because the Company has had a history of operating losses, it
does not expect the new standard to have a material impact on its financial
position or results of operations for 1997.
In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of
Information about Capital Structure." This statement is effective for financial
statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997. SFAS 129
supersedes specific disclosure requirements of APB Opinion No. 10 and No. 15 and
FASB Statement No. 47 and consolidates them into this Statement. FAS 129
contains no change in disclosure requirements for the Company as the Company was
previously subject to the requirements of the above superseded statements.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. This
Statement establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains, and losses) in a full set
of general-purpose financial statements. This Statement requires that all items
that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed
with the same prominence as other financial statements. This Statement does not
require a specific format for that financial statement but requires that an
enterprise display an amount representing total comprehensive income for the
period in that financial statement.
This Statement requires that an enterprise (a) classify items of other
comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and (b) display
the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained
earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of
financial position.
Management does not expect the new standard to have significant changes
in the disclosure requirements for the Company in 1998.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information", effective for financial statements
for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement establishes
standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about
operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those
enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim
financial reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for
related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major
customers. This statement supersedes FASB Statement No. 14, "Financial Reporting
for Segments of a Business Enterprise", but retains the requirement to report
information about major customers. It amends FASB Statement No. 94,
"Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries", to remove the special
disclosure requirements for previously unconsolidated subsidiaries. In the
initial year of application, comparative information for earlier years is to be
restated. This Statement need not be applied to interim financial statements in
the initial year of its application, but comparative information for interim
periods in the initial year of application is to be reported in financial
statements for interim periods in the second year of application. Management
does not expect the new standard to have a material impact on the disclosure
requirements for the Company in 1998.
