Item 2.           Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

                  On April 1, 1996, WinStar  Communications,  Inc.  ("WinStar"),
WinStar Locate,  Inc., a subsidiary of WinStar ("WinStar  Locate"),  MobileMedia
Corporation  ("MobileMedia"),   and  Local  Area  Telecommunications,   Inc.,  a
wholly-owned subsidiary of MobileMedia ("Locate"),  executed a Purchase and Sale
Agreement  (the  "Agreement"),  pursuant to which WinStar  Locate was to acquire
(the "Locate Asset Purchase") from Locate all assets  comprising its business as
a competitive access provider of local digital microwave  distribution  services
and  facilities to  corporations  and long  distance and other common  carriers,
except  for assets  relating  to the  telephone  switching  operation  of Locate
providing  local exchange  carrier  services in New York City (the  "Business").
Among  Locate's key assets are two 38 GHz  licenses,  each  providing 100 MHz of
bandwidth,  for the New York City metropolitan  area,  including Long Island and
Northern New Jersey. In addition,  Locate, together with its existing customers,
has access to the roofs of numerous buildings,  including the World Trade Center
and other key sites in New York City.

                  Simultaneously  with the execution of the Agreement,  WinStar,
WinStar Wireless, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of WinStar, and Locate entered
into a service  agreement  (the "Service  Agreement")  for a term  commencing in
April 1996 and terminating upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Closing Date (as
defined below) or (ii)  termination  of the  Agreement.  Pursuant to the Service
Agreement,  WinStar,  directly  or through its  subsidiaries,  agreed to perform
certain  consulting  and  related  services  for Locate in  connection  with the
Business.  As full  compensation  for WinStar's  performance  of such  services,
Locate  agreed to pay WinStar a fee of $125,000 per month during the term of the
Service Agreement, subject to certain adjustments.

                  Consummation  of the  Locate  Asset  Purchase  was  subject to
certain  closing  conditions  including  (i)  expiration or  termination  of the
waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino  Antitrust  Improvements Act of 1976,
as  amended,  and (ii)  consent of the  Federal  Communications  Commission  and
certain  state  agencies to the  transfer of control of, or the  assignment  of,
certain licenses and other authorizations to conduct the Business.

                  Prior to the Closing Date,  Locate  assigned all of its rights
and obligations under the Agreement to Locate,  L.L.C. ("Locate LC"), a Delaware
limited liability company in which MobileMedia and Locate are members and Locate
Manager,  Inc. is a managing member.  Accordingly,  the Agreement was amended to
include Locate LLC as a party,  with Locate  remaining a party and continuing to
be liable thereunder.

                  The  parties  closed  the   transaction  on  October  8,  1996
("Closing Date").  The purchase price for the assets comprising the Business was
$17,500,000,  which was paid in the form of a promissory note ("Note") due April
8, 1997 and bearing  interest  at the rate of 8% per annum.  WinStar may convert
the Note, in whole but not in part, at its election,  into that number of shares
("Conversion  Shares") of common stock of WinStar  ("Common Stock") equal to (i)
the principal  amount and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Note divided by
(ii) the  average of the  closing  prices of the Common  Stock for the five days
ending on the date on which  WinStar  gives  written  notice of its  decision to
convert  the Note.  Locate  LLC has no rights of  conversion.  In the event that
WinStar elects to convert the Note into Conversion  Shares,  it has agreed that,
prior to such  conversion,  it would  have  declared  effective  a  registration
statement providing for the resale of the Conversion Shares.

Item 7.  Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.

         (a)  Financial Statements of Business Acquired.

                         Report of Independent Auditors


The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Local Area Telecommunications, Inc.

         We have  audited  the  accompanying  balance  sheets  of the  Microwave
Division of Local Area  Telecommunications,  Inc.  as of  December  31, 1995 and
1994, and the related statements of operations, divisional (deficit) surplus and
cash  flows  for the  years  then  ended.  These  financial  statements  are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with generally  accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

         In our opinion,  the  financial  statements  referred to above  present
fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  financial  position of the  Microwave
Division of Local Area  Telecommunications,  Inc. at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
and the results of its  operations  and its cash flows for the years then ended,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

         As  discussed  in Note 1 to the  financial  statements,  the  Microwave
Division's  recurring  losses  from  operations  and  divisional  deficit  raise
substantial  doubt  about  its  ability  to  continue  as a going  concern.  The
financial  statements do not include any  adjustment  that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.  As also discussed in Note 1, on April 1, 1996, the
Company entered into an agreement to sell certain of the assets of the Microwave
Division to WinStar Communications, Inc.

1.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Basis of Presentation

         Local Area  Telecommunications,  Inc.  (the  Company),  a subsidiary of
MobileMedia Corporation (MobileMedia), was incorporated on October 21, 1981. The
Company's Microwave Division (the Division) is engaged in operations  pertaining
to the installation, servicing and maintenance of digital microwave radiosystems
for business use within major  metropolitan  areas. The Division provides voice,
data and image transmission between dispersed locations through  point-to-point,
point-to-multipoint  and point-topoint  short-haul  digital microwave radio. The
Division  also designs,  installs and sells  microwave  infrastructures  used in
cellular communication systems and other networks.

         The  accompanying  financial  statements of the  Microwave  Division of
Local Area  Telecommunications,  Inc. include all of the microwave operations of
Local Area  Telecommunications,  Inc.,  including an  allocated  share of common
expenses and specifically  identifiable assets,  liabilities and long-term debt.
These  financial  statements  have been prepared from the accounting  records of
Local Area  Telecommunications,  Inc. and are presented on a going concern basis
which  contemplates  the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities
and  commitments  in the normal  course of business.  The Division  incurred net
losses of $3,769,387  and  $3,201,367  for the years ended December 31, 1995 and
1994,  respectively,  and as of December  31, 1995 had a  divisional  deficit of
$5,432,367.  The continued  operations  of the Division are  dependent  upon the
receipt of additional funding from Mobile Media and/or other sources.  There can
be no assurance that such funding will be received.

         In October 1994,  following a comprehensive review of the operations of
the  Company,  the  Company's  Board  of  Directors  developed  a plan  to  sell
substantially  all of the assets of the Company by October  1995,  retaining  an
investment banker to market the assets. At December 31, 1994, in accordance with
Accounting   Principles  Board  Opinion  No.  30,   "Reporting  the  Results  of
Operations--Reporting  the Effects of  Disposal of a Segment of a Business,  and
Extraordinary,  Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions", the
Company  accrued losses in  anticipation of disposal prior to December 31, 1995.
At December  31,1995,  the Microwave  Division  remained  unsold and the Company
accrued  additional  losses  expected  to  be  incurred  due  to  the  delay  in
consummating the disposal. The accrued losses at December 31, 1995 and 1994 have
been  recorded  in  the  Company's  accounts,  and  the  accompanying  financial
statements do not reflect any allocation therefrom.

         On April 1, 1996,  the Company  entered  into an  agreement  (the "Sale
Agreement")  to sell the  assets  of the  Microwave  Division,  excluding  cash,
accounts    receivable    and   certain    security    deposits,    to   WinStar
Communications,Inc.   (WinStar)  in  exchange  for  the  assumption  of  certain
liabilities  and $17.5 million in the form of notes bearing  interest at 8% (the
WinStar Notes).  The WinStar Notes are convertible  into common stock of WinStar
at the option of WinStar.

         Consummation of the sale noted above is subject to regulatory approval.
There can be no assurance,  however,  that the sale will be consummated or that,
if consummated, it will be consummated on the terms described above.

         In  connection  with the Sale  Agreement,  the Company  entered  into a
service agreement ("Services Agreement") for a term commencing in April 1996 and
terminating  upon the earlier to occur of (i) the closing of the Sale Agreement,
or (ii) termination of the Sale Agreement.  Pursuant to the Services  Agreement,
WinStar provides  management  services for the Company. As full compensation for
WinStar's  performance  of such  services,  the  Company  pays  WinStar a fee of
$125,000 per month during the term.

1.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies--(Continued)

of the agreement, subject to certain adjustments.

         The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect the  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

         The  interim  financial  information  as of June  30,  1996 and the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995  contained  herein is unaudited  but, in the
opinion of management,  includes all  adjustments of a normal  recurring  nature
which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial  position,  results
of operations,  and cash flows for the periods presented.  Results of operations
for the periods  presented  herein are not necessarily  indicative of results of
operations for the entire year.

Inventories

         Inventories  consist of the cost of  communications  equipment  not yet
placed in service  plus the net book value of  equipment  previously  in service
which the  Company  anticipates  returning  to  service  within  one  year.  All
inventory is recorded at the lower of average cost or market.

Property and Equipment

         Property and equipment additions, as well as the labor costs associated
with the installation thereof, are capitalized at cost. Depreciation is computed
on the straight-line  method based upon estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to
10 years.

Revenue Recognition

         The Company  recognizes  revenue for  communication  services  when the
services  are  provided.  Sales of  communication  systems are  recognized  upon
delivery and installation.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

         In March 1995,  the FASB issued  Statement No. 121,  Accounting for the
Impairment of  Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to Be Disposed Of,
which  requires  impairment  losses to be recorded on long-lived  assets used in
operations when indicators of impairment are present and the  undiscounted  cash
flows  estimated  to be  generated  by those  assets  are less than the  assets'
carrying amount.  Statement No. 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived
assets that are expected to be disposed of. The Division  adopted  Statement No.
121 as of  January  1,  1996,  which had no effect on the  Division's  financial
position or results of operations.

Income Taxes

         The Division is included in the consolidated  federal income tax return
of  MobileMedia.  No  consolidated  federal  income  tax  expense  or benefit is
allocated to the Division.

         In December 1994, the Division refinanced $7,500,000 of its $10,000,000
10% note payable,  due September 15, 1996 with two  $3,750,000  10% senior notes
payable (the Senior  Notes),  due January 1, 1996.  On April 28,  1995,  the due
dates of the two $3,750,000 Senior Notes were extended to March 31, 1996.

         In December 1994, the Division  borrowed  $3,000,000 from a MobileMedia
shareholder in exchange for a 12% super senior note payable due January 1, 1996.
During 1995, the Division borrowed $4,300,000 in exchange for six additional 12%
super senior notes (collectively, the "Super Senior Notes").

         As of April 9,  1996,  neither  the Senior  Notes nor the Super  Senior
Notes (collectively,  the "Notes") were repaid. It is anticipated that the Notes
will be exchanged for WinStar Notes acquired by the Company pursuant to the Sale
Agreement (Note 1).

         Total  interest  paid for the six months  ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
and for the years ended  December 31, 1995 and 1994 was  approximately  $79,000,
$517,000, $586,000 and $1,269,000, respectively.

                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
                 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

         The adjustments  below were prepared based on data currently  available
and in some cases are based on estimates or approximations.  It is possible that
the  actual  amounts  to be  recorded  may  have an  impact  on the  results  of
operations  and  the  balance  sheet   different  from  that  reflected  in  the
accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. It
is therefore  possible that the entries  presented below will not be the amounts
actually  recorded.  Deferred  income taxes have not been  considered in the pro
forma  balance sheet because they are not expected to be material at the time of
the consummation of the acquisitions.

Balance Sheet at June 30, 1996

         (a) To record the issuance of  $17,500,000  in notes payable in payment
for certain assets of Locate,  to eliminate  assets and liabilities not acquired
or assumed and division  deficiency,  and to allocate the excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of the assets acquired to the licenses acquired.

Statements of Operations for the Ten Months Ended December 31, 1995
and For the Six Months Ended June 30, 1996

         (a) To eliminate interest expense incurred by Locate on liabilities not
assumed  by the  Company,  offset in part by an  adjustment  to record  interest
expense at 8% per annum on a $17.5 million  promissory  note to be issued by the
Company in connection with the acquisition of certain assets of Locate.

         (b) To record amortization of the excess of the purchase price over the
net  book  value  of the  assets  acquired  in the  Locate,  TWL and  Fox/Lorber
transactions.

         (c) To adjust  the  historical  results  of  operations  to a ten month
period. The historical results of operations  reflected in the December 31, 1995
unaudited pro forma  condensed  consolidated  statement of operations for Locate
and  Fox/Lorber  are for the twelve months ended December 31, 1995 and September
30,  1995,  respectively,  and  these  adjustments  are  made to  restate  these
historical  results for the ten months ended on those respective  dates. Had the
historical  results of operations and the pro forma adjustments been restated in
all  instances to reflect  twelve  months of activity,  the  unaudited pro forma
condensed  consolidated  statement of operations for the year ended December 31,
1995  would  reflect  net sales of $49.4  million,  an  operating  loss of $16.1
million, and a net loss of $51.5 million.

         (d) To eliminate  management fee expense incurred by TWL and payable to
the Company.

         (e) To eliminate management fees charged by the Company to AGT pursuant
to a management agreement.

         (f) To eliminate the Company's proportionate share of AGT's results for
the period, recorded previously under the equity method.

         (g)  To  record  shares  issued  in  accordance   with  the  Fox/Lorber
acquisition agreement as being outstanding for the entire period.

         (h) To record shares issued in accordance with the AGT merger agreement
as being outstanding for the entire period.
