              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Preparation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
1996.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1995.

Net (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the periods presented. Common stock equivalents are
excluded because they are antidilutive.

2. Accounting Change

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation."  SFAS No. 123 defines a fair value based method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans (including stock option
plans).  As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company expects to  continue to
measure compensation costs for its plans as prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."

3. Investment in Omnitel - continued

In March 1994, the Omnitel-Pronto Italia ("OPI") consortium in which Omnitel

in Italy (including San Marino and Vatican City).  CCII, through its 14.667%
ownership interest in Omnitel, holds an indirect 10.267% interest in OPI.

The following financial information of Omnitel and OPI is reflected in U.S.
dollars; the balance sheet information has been translated at the

information has been translated at the average exchange rate for the period.  
The balance sheet information of Omnitel and OPI at December 31, 1995 has been

4. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

CCII is required to make additional capital contributions to Omnitel up to a
total of approximately 37.4 billion lire ($23,900,000) in order to fund the
Company's share of the capital requirements of OPI. The cash held in escrow of
$24,553,000 at March 31, 1996 may only be used for such capital contributions
pursuant to the Senior Discount Notes' Indenture. These additional capital
contributions require capital calls by Omnitel, which are expected to occur
through 1996.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
        OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995
- ------------------------------------------

          Equity in net loss of Omnitel increased to $8,929,000 from $1,823,000
because of the increase in the net loss of Omnitel. Omnitel's net loss for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 was 95,765 million lire ($60,902,000)
and 20,386 million lire ($12,427,000), respectively. The increase is due to an
increase in Omnitel's share of OPI's net loss to 94,911 million lire
($60,359,000) from 20,372 million lire ($12,419,000). OPI's net loss increased
to 132,587 million lire ($84,319,000) from 26,612 million lire ($16,223,000) as
a result of the increase in all costs due to the construction of OPI's cellular
network and the commencement of operations in December 1995. Depreciation and
amortization of certain previously capitalized costs began in December 1995 upon
the commencement of operations.

          General and administrative expenses increased to $737,000 from
$331,000 primarily due to an expense reimbursement in 1995 of $540,000 from
Omnitel for amounts previously charged to general and administrative expenses.
After adjusting for these expense reductions, general and administrative
expenses decreased because, as of  December 1995, CCII no longer participates in
an entity that owns one of the two GSM cellular licenses for Delhi, India, and
CCII reduced its efforts to obtain new cellular licenses.

          Amortization of investments in joint ventures increased to $172,000
from $85,000 as a result of the amortization of additional costs capitalized 
in connection with the investment in Omnitel.

          Interest and other income increased to $1,411,000 from $98,000
primarily because of an increase in funds available for investment.

          Interest expense increased to $5,486,000 from $659,000 primarily due
to the interest on the Senior Discount Notes.  Interest expense in 1995 does not
include interest of $1,237,000 which was capitalized during the three months
ended March 31, 1995. The Company discontinued interest capitalization in
December 1995 upon the commencement of OPI's operations.

          The fees to CCI in connection with the bank loan decreased to none
from $45,000 as a result of the termination of the CCI guarantee in July 1995.

          In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-
Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123 defines a fair value based method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans (including stock option
plans). As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company expects to continue to measure
compensation costs for its plans as prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."

                          LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
                      ------------------------------------

          The Company's capital requirements are primarily based upon the
agreements and requirements of the joint ventures in which it is now or may
become a participant. The Company also requires capital to pay for corporate
overhead expenses, personnel costs and taxes, as well as capital to continue to
explore other opportunities that it is pursuing or that may arise. The Company
had no material commitments for capital expenditures, except as described below.
Italian lire have been translated solely for the convenience of the reader at an
exchange rate of 1567.00 lire = $1.00, the Noon Buying Rate on May 7, 1996.

          In August 1995, the Company issued $281,571,000 aggregate principal
amount of 13-1/4% Senior Discount Notes due 2000 (the "Notes") and 281,571
warrants to purchase 317,049 shares of common stock.  The Notes were issued at a
price to the public of 52.783% or $148,622,000.  The original issue discount
accretes at a rate of 13-1/4%, compounded semiannually, to an aggregate
principal amount of $281,571,000 by August 15, 2000.  The Notes are senior
unsecured obligations of the Company and rank senior in right of payment to all
future subordinated indebtedness of the Company.  The indenture governing the
Notes contains restrictions relating to, among other things:  (i) the incurrence
of additional indebtedness, (ii) the issuance of preferred stock, (iii)
dividends and other payments and (iv) mergers, consolidations and sales of
assets.

          The indenture required that $51,800,000 of the proceeds be placed in
an escrow account until it is needed to finance the Company's additional capital
contribution obligations to Omnitel, provided that Omnitel is not in default of
any obligation to fund capital contributions of OPI.  To date, $28,664,000 has
been used for additional contributions to Omnitel.

          Cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and cash held in
escrow for Omnitel capital contributions are expected to be sufficient to meet
the Company's capital requirements for the foreseeable future.  Future financing
may be necessary for capital contributions to Omnitel due to unexpected
circumstances or for other opportunities that may arise.

     As a result of the award of Italy's second GSM cellular license to OPI, OPI
requires capital to construct its cellular system and to fund its operations.
OPI currently expects to require approximately 3,250 billion lire ($2.1 billion)
which will be funded by capital contributions and bank financing.  OPI has
completed the syndication of a 10 year bank financing for approximately 1,800
billion lire ($1.1 billion), and therefore expects to require approximately
1,450 billion lire ($925 million) in capital contributions (approximately 1,015
billion lire ($648 million) and 435 billion lire ($278 million) from Omnitel and
Pronto Italia, respectively). Omnitel intends to fund its share of OPI capital
contributions through equity.  To date, approximately 770 billion lire ($491
million) of this amount has been contributed by Omnitel to OPI.  The remaining
OPI capital calls, and therefore Omnitel capital calls, are expected through
1996.  The Company's total cumulative equity commitment to Omnitel is
approximately 152.5 billion lire ($97.3 million), based on Omnitel's total
capitalization of 1,040 billion lire ($664 million).  To date, the Company has
funded approximately 115.1 billion lire of this commitment (an aggregate of
$72.2 million at the exchange rates in effect at the time of each contribution).

                                  (continued)


The  Company's  remaining  commitment  of  approximately 37.4 billion lire
($23.9 million) is expected to be provided to Omnitel through 1996.  Omnitel
capital calls of 105 billion lire ($67 million) and 150 billion lire ($95.7
million) are expected through the third quarter of 1996.

     The information in the preceding paragraphs include projections; in 
reviewing such information it should be kept in mind that actual results may 
differ materially from those in such projections. These projections were based 
on various factors and were derived utilizing numerous assumptions. Important 
assumptions and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially 
from those in these projections include OPI's ability to continue to design 
network routes, install facilities, obtain and maintain any required 
governmental licenses or approvals and finance construction and development, all
in a timely manner, at reasonable costs and on satisfactory terms and 
conditions, as well as assumptions about customer acceptance, churn rates, 
overall market penetration and competition from providers of alternative 
services. Other factors and assumptions not identified above were also involved 
in the derivation of these projections, and the failure of such other 
assumptions to be realized as well as other factors may also cause actual 
results to differ materially from those projected. The Company assumes no 
obligation to update these projections to reflect actual funding requirements, 
capital expenditures and results, changes in assumptions or changes in other 
factors affecting such projections.

     A requirement of the OPI bank financing is that the venturers severally
agree with the banks thereto that they will make their capital contributions to
OPI in accordance with an agreed upon schedule.  The Company's maximum liability
under the OPI bank financing would be its proportionate share of OPI's required
additional equity funding, which is approximately 36 billion lire ($23.0
million).  In addition, OPI has provided an approximate 219 billion lire ($139.8
million) performance bond that requires payments to the Italian government if
OPI fails to meet certain operational targets.  Although no assurance can be
given, OPI plans to achieve each of its targets.  The Company's maximum
liability under the performance bond is approximately 22.5 billion lire ($14.4
million), reflecting its proportionate interest in OPI.

     To the extent that the Company obtains financing in U.S. dollars and the 
Company's commitments to Omnitel are in Italian lire, it will encounter currency
exchange rate risks. Omnitel's revenues will be received in Italian lire and 
currently there are no foreign exchange controls in Italy. There can be no 
assurance that foreign exchange restrictions will not be introduced in the 
future.

     The Company is primarily a holding company with limited business operations
of its own.  The Company's assets consist primarily of cash, marketable
securities and its ownership interest in Omnitel.  The Company does not hold,
nor is it likely that the Company will hold, a majority interest in any
operating systems.  The Company's minority voting positions in Omnitel currently
precludes it from controlling Omnitel or OPI, even though the Company is
involved in the management of Omnitel and intends to participate in the future
only in operating companies in which it can be involved in management.  Thus,
the Company may be unable to cause the implementation of strategies that it
favors and, in the event of a disagreement between the Company and one or more
of its partners, the strategies adopted and actions taken by an affiliate
company may in some cases be contrary to the Company's preferred strategies and
actions.  In addition, the Company may be unable to access the cash flow of an
affiliated companies since (i) it does not have the requisite control to cause
such entities to pay dividends, (ii) substantially all of such entities are
expected to be parties to credit or other borrowing agreements that severely
restrict or prohibit the payment of dividends, and such  entities  are likely to
continue to be subject to such restrictions and prohibitions for the foreseeable
future and (iii) some countries tax payment and repatriation of dividends.  As a
result, the Company does not expect to receive significant cash through
dividends or other distributions from an affiliate in the foreseeable future.

     Because the Company does not currently have any cash flow and does not
expect any cash flow for the foreseeable future, its ability to repay the  Notes
at maturity will be dependent on developing one or more sources of cash at or
prior to maturity.  The Company may (i) seek to refinance all or a portion of
the Notes at maturity through sales of additional debt or equity securities of
the Company, (ii) if possible and subject to the appropriate consents and
approvals and certain other limitations set forth in the OPI Agreement and the
Omnitel Agreement, seek to sell all or a portion of its interest in Omnitel,
(iii) negotiate with its partners to permit any cash produced by OPI to be
distributed to equity holders rather than invested in the business and/or (iv)
seek to invest in companies that will make substantial cash distributions on or
before the maturity of the Notes.  There can be no assurance that (i) there will
be a market for the debt or equity securities of the Company in the future, (ii)
the Company will be permitted

                                       14

                                  (continued)

to sell particular assets or be able to sell assets in a timely manner or on
commercially acceptable terms or in an amount that (giving effect to the
substantial corporate income taxes which could be due in the event of such a
sale) will be sufficient to repay the Notes when due, (iii) the Company will be
able to persuade its partners that cash generated by the operations of its
affiliated entities should be distributed to equity holders (in fact, the
Company expects that Omnitel and OPI will utilize all of their respective cash
flow for debt repayment or internal development opportunities for the
foreseeable future) or (iv) the Company will be able to locate and invest in
companies that will be mature enough to make substantial cash distributions to
investors prior to the maturity of the Notes.

     The Company has not been successful in obtaining any new cellular licenses 
since more companies recognize the significant value of obtaining cellular 
licenses and as governments increasingly realize they can extract value from 
license applicants. There can be no assurance that the Company will be 
successful in obtaining new cellular licenses or in developing other 
opportunities in the future.

     Cash used in operating activities was $2,626,000 and $721,000 in 1996 and
1995, respectively.  The change is primarily due to the payment of income taxes
of $2,100,000 in 1996.

     Cash used in investing activities was $39,877,000 in 1996 as a result of
purchases of marketable securities, net of proceeds from sales.
