State the number of shares outstanding of each of the issuer's classes of common
equity, as of May 14, 1997 - 16,152,518
This amendment is being filed to reflect as additional interest cost the value
attributable to the ability of the holders of the 7% Convertible Debentures to
convert such debentures at a share price less than the closing bid price (as
reported by NASDAQ SmallCap Market) at time of conversion. The value
attributable to the beneficial conversion features amounting to $310,000 had to
be expensed at date of issuance because the agreement could allow the holders
of such debentures to convert at that date. Of the total interest incurred,
$500,000 of such costs were capitalized in connection with the Company's
construction of its fiber optic network in Lima, Peru. These adjustments have
been properly reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

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. 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. Santiago, the capital of
Chile, has a population of approximately 5.4 million people.
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. Lima, and its adjacent port
city of Callao, has a combined population of approximately 6.4 million people.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
In November 1996, the Company hired Patricio E. Northland as Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Northland, a U.S. citizen who grew up in Chile,
has an extensive background in international telecommunications and a wide
network of relationships in this industry throughout Latin America. On May 1,
1997, the Company hired Douglas G. Geib II as Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Geib
is a former Partner with the international accounting, tax and consulting firm
of Ernst & Young, LLP. Mr. Geib has extensive experience in corporate finance,
mergers and acquisitions, SEC public registration statements and industry
expertise in a variety of industries, including telecommunications. Terms of Mr.
Geib's three year employment agreement include base salary, performance awards
and non-qualified stock options to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company's
common stock at $2.42 per share.
The Company believes that the background and expertise of Mr. Northland
and Mr. Geib form the essential foundation to aggressively expand the Company's
current operations during the coming year.
On May 7, 1997 the Company issued $2 million of 8% convertible
debentures. This offering is in addition to a similar financing in February 1997
that raised $1.5 million. The terms and conditions of the May offering are
similar to the convertible debentures that were issued in February 1997. The
proceeds from the offering are being used to finance the construction of the
Resetel fiber optic network, complete construction of the Hewster fiber optic
network, and to pay for the administrative and operating costs of the Company.
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 March 31, 1997 and the
consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the
three months ended March 31, 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 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
-7-
<PAGE> 8
inception while investing in the infrastructure necessary to generate material
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. Historically, the Company has been successful in raising such
funds.
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996
The Company's sales for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were
$324,168 as compared to $58,468 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. This
increase of approximately $265,700, was attributable to the acquisition of
Hewster Servicios Intermedios, S.A. on July 31, 1996 (currently an operating
division of Hewster), an investment in the required infrastructure necessary to
drive incremental sales, and ongoing marketing of the Company's fiber optic
network in Santiago.
The Company's cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 1997
was $316,377 as compared to $159,685 for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
This increase of approximately $156,692, was attributable to added costs
associated with the increase in sales discussed above. For the first quarter of
1997 the increase in cost of sales was at a slower rate than the increase in
sales, as compared to the first quarter of 1996, because a greater portion of
the Company's sales costs were more variable in nature during 1997.
The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 were $1,035,293 as compared to $489,499
for the three months ended March 31, 1996. This increase of approximately
$545,794, was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of personnel
at Hewster, additional marketing expenses related to the Chilean fiber optic
network and corporate expenses related to financing and business development
opportunities. Mr. Northland, the Company's new CEO, continues to emphasize the
importance of controlling all costs, especially SG&A, even though the Company is
growing rapidly.
The Company's interest expense for the three months ended March 31,
1997 was $215,406 as compared to $30,805 for the three months ended March 31,
1996. This increase of approximately $184,601, was due to additional financing
costs related to the issuance of convertible debentures in February 1997.
-8-
<PAGE> 9
The Company's net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was
$1,225,007 as compared to $620,929 for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
The increase in the Company's net loss was primarily due to the ongoing
investment in the Company's infrastructure in anticipation that sales will
increase in the future.
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 estimates that its present cash level
would allow the Company to continue operations for approximately three months,
although no assurance can be given in this regard.
Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31,
1997 was approximately $1.0 million as compared to approximately $1.2 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1996. Cash used in operating activities
relate primary to operational, administrative and business development expenses
incurred prior to the generation of revenues.
Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended
March 31, 1997 approximated $2.1 million and relates primarily to the proceeds
received from the issuance of convertible debentures in February 1997. Cash used
in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 1997 was
approximately $822,000. These funds were used primarily to expand the Company's
fiber optic networks in Chile and Peru.
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.
