PART II
Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
On June 11, 1996, Prime Cellular, Inc. (the "Company") acquired Bern
Associates, Inc. ("Bern") by merging Bern with an inactive subsidiary of the
Company formed to complete such merger (the "Merger"), and simultaneously with
the consummation of the Merger, the subsidiary changed its name to Bern
Communications, Inc. ("Bern Communications"). Under the Merger Agreement, all of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock of Bern were exchanged for 1,586,187
shares of the Company. This transaction was accounted for as a reverse
acquisition whereby Bern was the acquirer for accounting purposes. The
historical financial statements prior to June 1, 1996 are therefore those of
Bern.
In connection with the Merger, the Company entered into a Settlement
Agreement on August 28, 1997 with certain former stockholders of Bern as a
result of claims made by the Company for possible breaches of certain
representations and warranties of the Bern stockholders with respect to the
Merger and otherwise.
As a result of the Settlement, Bern Communications ceased soliciting
further opportunities or engaging in any further consulting services in
connection with its integrated Internet access systems. Moreover, all sales of
computer hardware and/or software of Bern Communications were discontinued
effective as of the Settlement. Bern Communications will continue to provide
help desk functions as well as network management services pursuant to its
existing contractual arrangements.
The Company has retained an outside Consultant (since 1991) who is also a
stockholder, under an agreement, to assist it in finding a new business
opportunity for the Company.
1997 vs. 1996
Revenue decreased $538,226 for the year ended May 31, 1997 as compared to
the year ended May 31, 1996. This decrease was due to a large equipment sale
which occurred during the year ended May 31, 1996. Furthermore, the Company did
not generate any equipment sales for the fourth quarter ended May 31, 1997.
Gross profit increased $809,828 for the year ended May 31, 1997 as compared
to the year ended May 31, 1996. This increase resulted from the low gross profit
realized on the large equipment sale made during the year ended May 31, 1996 as
compared to the multiple equipment sales, at relatively higher margins,
generated during the year ended May 31, 1997. For the year ended May 31, 1996,
the Company's help desk and network management services were still in a start-up
phase, distinguished by numerous costs and no associated revenue stream.
-3-
<PAGE>
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1,266,736 for the
year ended May 31, 1997 as compared to the year ended May 31, 1996. This
increase resulted from Prime's selling, general and administrative costs of
$380,198, which were not present for the year ended May 31, 1996 as well as
expenses of $886,538 incurred to increase equipment sales and revenue for the
year ended May 31, 1997. Interest income increased as a result of acquiring
significant cash and investments from Prime following the Merger in June 1996.
1996 vs 1995
Bern was incorporated in February 22, 1995 and had little operating
activity for the period ended May 31, 1995. Operations of Bern commenced during
the year ended May 31, 1996 when significant contracts and revenue were
received. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $477,462 for
the year ended May 31, 1996 as compared to the inception period ended May 31,
1995. This increase was due to the increased costs incurred in order to secure
Bern's first major contracts as well as the costs associated with servicing
these customers and developing an internal organization.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At May 31, 1997 the Company had approximately $261,899 in cash and
investments and working capital of approximately $5,500,000.
Net cash used by operating activity aggregated $261,899 and $279,089 for
the years ended May 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The decrease in cash used
by operating activities was attributable to a large decrease in accounts payable
and an additional net loss, offset by a large decrease in accounts receivable
and inventory.
Net cash used in investing activity was $857,992 and $131,336, for the
years ended May 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. This increase was due to cash
of $960,223 acquired from Prime in connection with the Merger.
Cash flow from financing activities decreased to ($1,561) from $583,785 for
the year ended May 31, 1997 as compared to the year ended May 31, 1996. The
decrease resulted from payments in the amount of $76,561 made with respect to
officer's loans to the Company, offset by a net increase from proceeds from the
sale of stock and stock subscriptions of $65,000. The remaining derease was
attributable to the $500,000 net proceeds advanced from Prime to Bern for the
year ended May 31, 1996, which was eliminated in consolidation for the year
ended May 31, 1997.
INFLATION
Inflation has not historically had a material impact on the Company's
operations.
SEASONALITY
The operations of the Company are not considered to be seasonal.

(1) Year-end values for unexercised in-the-money options represent the positive
spread between the exercise price of such options and the fiscal year end
market value of the Common Stock. An Option is "in-the-money" if the fiscal
year end fair market value of the Common Stock exceeds the option exercise
price. At May 30, 1997, the closing bid price per share of the Common Stock
as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board was $2.00.
(2) Incentive stock options granted by the board of directors as of May 14,
1996, under the Company's 1990 Stock Option Plan, having an exercise price
of $1.625 per share, which options became immediately vested and

of grant.
(3) Incentive stock options granted pursuant to Incentive Stock Option
Agreement dated October 25, 1996, as authorized by the Board of Directors
at June 12, 1996, having an exercise price of $2.50 per share, which

and expire five (5) years after the date of grant.
Director Compensation
Directors receive no cash compensation for serving on the Board of
Directors or for attending Board or Committee, if any, meetings. However,
non-employee directors are eligible to be granted non-statutory stock options
under the Company's 1990 Stock Option Plan. Nonstatutory stock options may be
granted for up to 10 years from the date of grant at such exercise prices as the
Board of Directors may determine.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation in Compensation
Decisions
The Company did not have a Compensation Committee of its Board of Directors
during fiscal 1997. Decisions as to compensation during fiscal 1997 were made by
the Company's Board of Directors. Mr. Pagano served as a member of the Board of
Directors during fiscal 1997. None of the other executive officers of the
Company served on the Board of Directors or the compensation committee of any
other entity, any of whose officers served on the Board of Directors during
fiscal 1997.
Stock Option Plans
The Company adopted the 1990 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), which provides
for grants of options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, as
amended by resolution dated June 12, 1996 of the Board of Directors, which
options may be granted to employees, consultants, agents and other persons
deemed valuable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Plan permits the
Board of Directors or the Committee of the Plan, as the
-8-
<PAGE>
case may be, to issue incentive stock options ("ISOs"), as defined in Section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), and stock options that do not
conform to the requirements of that Code section ("non-ISOs"). The exercise
price of each ISO may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the
Common Stock at the time of grant, except that in the case of a grant to an
employee who owns (within the meaning of Code Section 422) 10% or more of the
outstanding stock of the Company or any subsidiary (a "10% Stockholder"), the
exercise price may not be less than 110% of such fair market value. The exercise
price of each non-ISO also may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of
the Common Stock at the time of grant. Options may not be exercised prior to the
first anniversary, or on or after the tenth anniversary (fifth anniversary in
the case of an ISO granted to a 10% Stockholder), of their grant. Options may
not be transferred during the lifetime of the option holder. No stock options
may be granted under the Plan after May, 2000.
The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors and may be administered
by a Committee chosen by the Board of Directors. Subject to the provisions of
the Plan, the Board of Directors or such Committee, as applicable, has the
authority to determine the individuals to whom the stock options are to be
granted, the number of shares to be covered by each option, the option price,
the type of option, the option period, the restrictions, if any, on the exercise
of the option, the terms for the payment of the option price and other terms and
conditions. Payment by option holders upon exercise of an option may be made (as
determined by the Board of Directors or the Committee) in cash, or, in certain
instances, by shares of Common Stock.
No options under the Plan were granted to executive officers during the
fiscal year ended May 31, 1997.
The Company from time to time has also granted non-plan options to certain
officers, employees and consultants. 40,000 of such options were outstanding at
May 31, 1997, having been granted to Mr. Reinhart during fiscal 1997.
Item 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND
MANAGEMENT

Item 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
In July 1991, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Joseph
K. Pagano, effective through July 2, 1993 (the "Consulting Agreement"), which
Consulting Agreement has been renewed annually the last five years through July
2, 1998. Mr. Pagano has been retained to assist the Company and Bern
Communications in finding a business to acquire and to advise the Company and
Bern Communications in the investment of their funds pending such acquisition.
The Consulting Agreement initially provided for a monthly consulting fee and
non-accountable expense allowance of $6,250 in the aggregate. In May 1992, the
consulting Agreement was amended to provide for a monthly consulting fee of
$6,250 and reimbursement of documented expenses incurred on behalf of the
Company and approved by an officer of the Company. The Consulting Agreement also
provides for Mr. Pagano to participate in employee benefit plans and receive
fringe benefits generally provided to the Company's senior management and
permits the payment to Mr. Pagano of bonuses within the discretion of the Board
of Directors. Mr. Pagano was elected President and a director of the Company on
June 15, 1994.
On June 12, 1996, the board of directors of the Company authorized
incentive stock options in favor of Mr. Reinhart in connection with his
engagement as Chief Financial Officer of the Company and, by agreement dated
October 25, 1996, granted Mr. Reinhart incentive stock options to purchase up to
40,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Company, at a purchase price of $2.50
per share, which options to purchase shares of Common Stock were immediately
exercisable.
In June 1996, acting through its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Company
acquired Bern. Under such Merger, the former stockholders of Bern received in
exchange for each share held by them in such company 1,586,187 shares of the
Common Stock of the Company (as adjusted by the Amendment to the Merger, as
hereinafter discussed). Following the Merger, the Company investigated possible
breaches of the representations and warranties of the Bern stockholders in
connection with the Merger and otherwise. As a result of claims made by the
Company for such possible breaches, certain of the former stockholders of Bern
(the "Settling Stockholders") and the Company agreed to reduce the consideration
paid in the merger by way of amendment. The Amendment to Merger was subsequently
executed as of June 11, 1996.
Subsequently, on August 28, 1997, the Settling Stockholders entered in a
Settlement Agreement with the Company and Bern Communications (the
"Settlement"). The
-11-
<PAGE>
Settlement provided for the Company to purchase all of the shares of common
stock from each Settling Shareholder, which in the aggregate amounted to 676,937
shares at $.50 per share for a total amount of $338,469. In addition, the
Company and Bern Communications transferred their right, title and interest in
certain computer software programs and certain computer equipment to certain of
the Settling Shareholders who were former officers and employees of Bern (the
"Settling Employees"). In exchange, all Settling Shareholders signed a general
release and the Settling Employees confirmed their prior resignations as
officers and/or directors of the Company and/or Bern Communications as well as
terminated their respective options to purchase the Company's Common Stock. All
shares acquired by the Company pursuant to the Settlement were cancelled,
effective as of August 28, 1997.
Also as a result of the claims asserted by the Company in connection with
the representations and warranties of the Bern stockholders with respect to the
Merger, the Company and Bern Communications also commenced an action in Supreme
Court of Nassau County, New York on or about December 20, 1996, against a former
employee/shareholder of Bern and others, seeking an unspecified amount of
damages and rescission to recover the shares of the Company's Common Stock
issued to such defendants pursuant to the Merger.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's executive officers
and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of the
Company's Common Stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of
changes in ownership with the commission and the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. Executive officers, directors and greater than ten
percent beneficial owners are required by Commission regulations to furnish the
Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based upon on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company
and written representations from the Company's executive officers and directors,
the Company believes that during fiscal 1997 all Section 16(a) filing
requirements applicable to its executive officers, directors and greater than
ten percent beneficial owners were complied with.
