Item 1.       Financial Statements

              Registrant's Financial Statements filed herewith begin on page 6.


Item 2.       Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
              Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Results of Operations

         Six Months Ended June 30

         1996 compared to 1995

         Long distance service revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1996
were $247,467 compared to $693,401 for the six months ended June 30, 1995.
Revenues fell due to loss of accounts to competitors, without corresponding
acquisition of new accounts. Line costs in 1996 were $203,830 representing 82%
of long distance revenue compared to $588,511 or 85% of revenue in 1995. In
1996 the Company was able to receive better rates from its long distance
providers, resulting in lower line costs.

         After the end of the quarter, the Company sold its long distance
telephone business to the prior president in view of the difficult competitive
environment facing small providers.

         Depreciation and amortization relates primarily to amortization of
customer list and is based upon higher turnover of customers.

         Interest expended in 1995 was primarily related to a margin loan. This
was paid off in the first quarter of 1996. Interest income was from a loan to a
securities firm.

         There was a loss from the Company's investment in an unconsolidated
entity (Cable-Sat) in 1996. There was no comparable item in 1995.

         There was a gain from continuing operations before income taxes of
$3,055,902 in 1996 compared to a loss of $417,077 in 1995.

         Liquidity and Capital Resources

         As of December 31, 1995, the Company had borrowed $1,304,265 from
Merrill Lynch using ICI stock as collateral.  In 1996 the Company sold 486,857
shares of ICI stock for gross proceeds of $9,664,680. The Merrill Lynch loan
was paid off in March 1996.





                                       2
<PAGE>   3


         During 1996, the Company's operating activities used cash of
approximately $1,118,010 compared to $184,669 in 1995. The Company's long
distance telephone business operated at a loss.

         Net cash was provided primarily from sale of ICI stock. 486,857 shares
were sold through June 30, 1996.

         Cash flow from operations reflects cash used in 1996 of $1,118,010
versus net income of $1,970,132. The difference represents the result of
adjustments for various non-cash entries as reflected in the Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows.

         Cash flow from investing activities in 1996 primarily reflected
proceeds from the sale of ICI common stock reduced by investment in Cable-Sat
and other short-term securities. Net cash provided was $7,175,596.

         Cash used in financing activities in 1996 was $1,330,447 and primarily
resulted from payment of a margin loan.  In 1995 $256,185 was provided from
financing activities reflecting borrowing activities.

         The Company has investments in common stock of Intermedia
Communications of Florida, Inc. and Cable-Sat Compression, Inc. Such investments
do not generate revenues for the Company directly. However, the Company has been
meeting its working capital requirements through sale from time-to-time of ICI
stock. In addition, the Company has borrowed money utilizing shares of ICI as
collateral for such loan. In addition the Company has entered into an agreement
with Barron Chase Securities, Inc. under which it has lent 150,000 shares of its
ICI stock to such firm for which such firm has agreed to pay the Company $11,550
per month which the Company utilizes as working capital. The Company was
required to provide additional shares of ICI in the event the market price of
ICI stock fell below a certain level. During the second quarter of 1996 the
Company sold 206,857 shares of ICI common stock. Such arrangement terminates on
March 31, 1997. A portion of these proceeds were used to acquire treasury bills
in the amount of $1,213,575. These treasury bills have replaced the ICI stock as
loan collateral.

         Since the sale of Phone One in December 1994, the Company has been
borrowing against and selling the ICI stock for working capital and other cash
needs.

Item 5.       Other Information.

         The Company has been advised by the Securities and Exchange Commission
that it may be considered an investment company and therefore subject to
certain provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Company does not
believe it is an investment company and has taken the following actions

         1.      On July 15, 1996 Registrant acquired 118.34 acres of land for
development for $2,360,000. Such land is located in Williamson County, Texas.
Registrant executed a purchase money mortgage in connection with the purchase
which is payable in semi-annual installments of $85,721.39 beginning on January
15, 1997, including interest at 9% with the entire unpaid





                                       3
<PAGE>   4

balance due on July 15, 2003. Registrant paid $589,309.73 at closing from its
working capital. The land is currently vacant.

         2.      Since June 30, 1996 Registrant continued to dispose of shares
of Intermedia Communications, Inc. which it received in December 1994 in
connection with disposition of Phone One, Inc. It retains less than 1,000 of
such shares.

         3.      In August 1996 Registrant disposed of its remaining long
distance telephone business for 100,000 shares plus assumption of certain
liabilities of Registrant. The business was sold to Alan Niederhoffer, a former
employee and officer of Registrant.

         4.      In September and October 1996 the Company acquired certain
secured notes issued by Retama Development Corporation of Selma, Texas. The
notes are secured by a lien on real estate which includes the Retama Park
Racetrack in suburban San Antonio, Texas.

         5.      The balance of the Company's holdings in Cable-Sat Systems,
Inc. were registered for sale by the Company in Cable-Sat's recent registration
statement on Form S-1. However, by agreement with the underwriter, such shares
may not be sold until September 25, 1997.

         In the event the Company is deemed to be an investment company, the
Company may become subject to certain restrictions relating to the Company's
activities, including restrictions on the nature of its investments and the
issuance of securities. In addition, the Investment Company Act imposes certain
requirements on companies deemed to be within its regulatory scope, including
registration as an investment company, adoption of a specific form of corporate
structure and compliance with certain burdensome reporting, record keeping,
voting, proxy, disclosure and other rules and regulations. In the event of
characterization of the Company as an investment company, the failure of the
Company to satisfy regulatory requirements, whether on a timely basis or at
all, would, under certain circumstances have a materially adverse effect on the
Company.

                      all ICI securities. The net unrealized holding gain
                      increased by $661,645 for the three months ended June 30,
                      1996.

2. NOTE               On March 24, 1996 the Company renewed an agreement with a
   RECEIVABLE         broker-dealer whereby the Company executed a secured
                      demand note payable to the broker-dealer in the amount of
                      $1,155,000, without interest, payable on demand,
                      collateralized by the pledge of 150,000 shares of ICI
                      stock which is owned by the Company; simultaneously, the
                      broker-dealer signed a note payable to the Company in a
                      like amount bearing interest at 12% per annum, maturing
                      March 31, 1997. During April 1996 the broker-dealer sold
                      the shares of ICI stock and purchased a treasury bill in
                      the amount of $1,199,441 to be used for collateral against
                      the demand note of $1,155,000. The treasury bill was
                      increased to $1,213,575 on June 28, 1996 and is included
                      in short term securities- restricted.

3. INVESTMENT IN      The Company acquired 550,000 shares (25.2%) of the
   UNCONSOLIDATED     outstanding common stock of Cable-Sat Systems, Inc. (Cable
   ENTITY             -Sat) in August 1995 at a purchase price of $500,000. The
                      purchase included warrants allowing Call Now, Inc. to
                      acquire an additional 320,000 shares of Cable-Sat common
                      stock

                                                                               2

                      exercisable at $.92 per share. In March 1996, the company
                      exercised the warrants at a reduced price of $.30 per
                      share for total consideration of $96,000. Cable-Sat, a
                      Florida corporation whose principal office is located in
                      San Jose, California is a development stage company
                      specializing in high order data compression products for
                      telecommunication, computer, satellite TV and video
                      applications.

                      On March 5, 1996, a dividend of Cable-Sat common stock was
                      declared and will aggregate 723,438 shares and is more
                      fully described in note 5. After such distribution, the
                      Company's equity interest in Cable-Sat will be less than
                      20% and will continue to be accounted for by the equity
                      method due to the significant influence maintained by Call
                      Now, Inc.

                      On March 22, 1996 the Company purchased 150,000 shares of
                      Cable-Sat Systems' Class A 7% preferred stock for $3.00
                      per share. The shares are redeemable out of the proceeds
                      of an initial public offering or private placement of
                      Cable-Sat Systems' securities at $3.00 per share plus one
                      share of Cable-Sat Systems common stock. The 7% interest
                      is payable annually and due one-year from date of purchase
                      unless redeemed prior to the due date.

5. STOCKHOLDER'S      On March 5, 1996, the board of directors of Call Now, Inc.
   EQUITY             declared a stock dividend from the Company's holdings of
                      Cable-Sat Systems, Inc.'s common stock. The dividend is
                      payable to shareholders of record on March 12, 1996 ("the
                      record date") on the basis of one share of Cable-Sat
                      Systems, Inc. common stock for each ten shares of Call
                      Now, Inc.'s common stock held on the record date. Such
                      distribution is being registered by Cable-Sat Systems,
                      Inc. under the Securities Act of 1933 (File # 333-6121)
                      and stock certificates representing the Cable-Sat shares
                      will be distributed to the Company's stockholders six
                      months after the effective date of such registration.
                      After the distribution, the Company's holdings of
                      Cable-Sat Systems, Inc common shares will be approximately
                      146,562.

6. CONTINGENCIES      In 1994, a former director, filed a lawsuit in Florida
                      against the Company seeking damages of approximately
                      $500,000 for breach of an oral employment agreement. The
                      Company has filed a motion for summary judgment;
                      management believes there is a good likelihood of
                      prevailing since the statute of fraud requires that any
                      agreement that cannot be completed

<PAGE>   13

                                                                               3

                      within one year must be in writing to be enforceable. This
                      action is in the early stages of litigation and the
                      ultimate outcome of this matter cannot presently be
                      determined. Management does not believe that this matter
                      will have a material adverse effect on the financial
                      statements.

                      The Company was a defendant in suits seeking to collect
                      $750,000 which is alleged to be due to a long distance
                      telephone service provider. The Company disputed the
                      amount of the liability and provided $525,000 for such
                      liability. On June 27, 1996 the Company negotiated a
                      settlement payment of $425,000 to satisfy the service
                      provider's claim of $750,000.

                      ICI gave notice to the Company of certain claims for
                      indemnification arising from the sale of Phone One, Inc.
                      to which the Company objected. ICI is seeking damages for
                      alleged errors in Phone One, Inc.'s unaudited September
                      1994 financial statements and the uncollectibility of an
                      account receivable of Phone One, Inc. ICI is seeking the
                      return of 37,643 of its shares and $585,321 as damages.
                      The Company filed an action against ICI seeking damages in
                      excess of those sought by ICI for failure to comply with
                      the terms of the agreement. In addition, the action
                      alleges that ICI and Phone One, Inc. refused to enter into
                      certain contracts with ARN at discounted rates. The
                      parties agreed to binding arbitration which began in July
                      1995 and was pending before the American Arbitration
                      Association. In July 1996 the Company settled all of ICI's
                      claims by returning 22,357 shares of ICI's stock to ICI.

                      In April 1996, National Communications Network, Inc.
                      (NCNI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Call Now, Inc.,
                      signed an agreement with Liberty Mint, Inc. (Liberty) a
                      Utah corporation, which grants NCNI the exclusive rights
                      to purchase and resell certain specified products of
                      Liberty throughout the world, NCNI is also granted the
                      unconditional first right to purchase any and all new
                      additional products of Liberty with specific exceptions.
                      The Company agreed to make available up to $400,000, in
                      its sole discretion, for advertising and promotion. At the
                      time of the agreement, the Company executed a 6%, six
                      month note advancing $100,000 to Liberty Mint.

7. SUBSEQUENT         On July 15,1996, Andice Development Co. (a wholly owned
   EVENTS             subsidiary of Call Now, Inc.), accquired 118 acres of
                      development property in Williamson County, Texas for a
                      purchase price of $2,359,310. Under the terms of the
                      purchase, the Company paid $589,310 and executed a seven
                      year, 9% note in the amount of $1,770,000. The note
                      requires the Company to make semi-annual principal and
                      interest payments of $85,721.39 commencing on January 15,
                      1997 and ending July 15, 2003, at which time, the entire
                      remaining balance is due and payable.

                      In July 1996 the Company entered into an agreement to sell
                      all of the assets and liabilities of its long distance
                      services company, ARN Communications, Corp. (ARN). Under
                      the terms of the agreement, the former President of ARN
                      will exchange one hundred thousand shares of Call Now,
                      Inc. common stock for all of the assets and liabilities of
                      ARN. Call Now, Inc. will retain ownership of the
                      Corporation.

                      On July 17, 1996 the company signed an agreement to

                      holdings of ICI common stock, aggregating approximately
                      169,143 shares for gross proceeds of approximately
