ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND EXHIBITS
(a) Financial Statement of Business Acquired. Included in this report are
the following financial statements:
(i) The combined unaudited financial statements of Cherry
Communications Incorporated (d/b/a Resurgens Communications Group) ("RCG")
and Cherry Communications U.K. Limited ("Cherry U.K.") for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997;
(ii) The combined financial statements of RCG and Cherry U.K. for the
year ended December 31, 1997, which have been audited by the independent
accounting firm of Ernst & Young LLP, whose opinion thereon is included
herein; and
(iii) The combined financial statements of RCG and Cherry U.K. for the
year ended December 31, 1996, which have been audited by the independent
accounting firm of Grant Thornton LLP, whose opinion thereon is included
herein.
(b) Pro Forma Financial Information. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined
Financial Statements of New World Access give effect to the consummation of the
several transactions that World Access has completed or are currently
contemplated. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations give
effect to: (1) the acquisition of Advanced TechCom, Inc.; (2) the acquisition of
a majority interest in NACT (the "NACT Stock Purchase"); (3) the acquisition of
the remainder of NACT (the "NACT Transaction"); (4) the acquisition of RCG and
Cherry U.K. (the "Resurgens Transaction"); and (5) the acquisition of Telco
Systems, Inc. ("Telco Merger") as if each of these acquisitions had occurred on
January 1, 1997. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet gives effect to
the NACT Transaction, Resurgens Transaction and the Telco Merger as if it had
been completed on June 30, 1998.
As the fiscal year end of Telco Systems, Inc. ("Telco"), August 31, differs
from the Company's fiscal year-end by more than 93 days, Telco's results of
operations for the period from November 25, 1996 through November 30, 1997 were
used in preparing the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations for
the year ended December 31, 1997. Telco's results of operations for the six
months from December 1, 1997 through May 31, 1998 were used in preparing the
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations for the six months ended
June 30, 1998. Telco's May 31, 1998 balance sheet was utilized in preparing the
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet as of June 30, 1998.
The pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available information
and upon certain assumptions that the Company's management believes are
reasonable. Each of the acquisition transactions above has been accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting. The adjustments recorded in the
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements represent the Company's
preliminary determination of these adjustments based upon available information.
There can be no assurance that the actual adjustments will not differ
significantly from the pro forma adjustments reflected in the Unaudited Pro
Forma Combined Financial Statements.
In connection with the consummation of the pending acquisition
transactions, the Company expects New World Access to record charges
representing the estimated portion of the purchase price allocated to in-
process research and development of $21.9 million and $73.9 million for the NACT
Transaction and Telco Merger, respectively. In addition, in the three month
period ended March 31, 1998, the Company recorded charges representing the
estimated portion of the purchase price allocated to in-process research and
development of $44.6 million and $5.4 million for the NACT Stock Purchase and
ATI acquisition, respectively. Since these charges are directly related to the
acquisitions and will not recur, the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of
Operations have been prepared excluding these one-time non-recurring charges.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements are not necessarily
indicative of the financial position or the future results of operations or
results that might have been achieved if the foregoing acquisition transactions
had been consummated as of the indicated dates. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined
Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the historical
consolidated financial statements of the Company, ATI, NACT, Resurgens and
Telco, and the related notes thereto.

NOTES TO COMBINED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1998
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited combined financial statements include the
accounts of Cherry Communications Incorporated (d/b/a Resurgens Communications
Group) ("RCG") and Cherry Communications U.K. Limited ("Cherry U.K."). Cherry
U.K.'s financial statements are prepared on a March 31 fiscal year-end. For
combination purposes, March 31, 1998 financial statements of Cherry U.K., which
were previously included in the combined entity as of December 31, 1997, have
been combined with the March 31, 1998 financial statements of RCG. Therefore,
the statement of net stockholders' deficiency and statement of cash flows
reflect an adjustment for Cherry U.K. which was previously included in fiscal
year 1997. For combination purposes, the six months ended June 30, 1997 of
Cherry U.K. have been combined with the six months ended June 30, 1997 for RCG.
These financial statements do not include all 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 of the results
of the interim periods covered have been included. For further information,
refer to the audited combined financial statements and footnotes included
elsewhere in this Proxy.
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 sales and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. Certain
reclassifications have been made to the prior period's financial information to
conform with the presentations used in 1998.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Board of Directors
Cherry Communications Incorporated,
d/b/a Resurgens Communications Group
and Cherry Communications U.K. Limited
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Cherry
Communications Incorporated (d/b/a Resurgens Communications Group), and Cherry
Communications U.K. Limited (collectively referred to as the "Companies") as of
December 31, 1997, and the related statements of operations, net stockholders'
deficiency, and cash flows for the year 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 audit.
We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the combined financial position at December 31, 1997,
of the Companies and the combined results of their operations and their cash
flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Companies will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in
Note 2 to the financial statements, the Companies have not complied with the
repayment schedule for several of its loan agreements and is party to
significant litigation, the outcome of which cannot be predicted. In addition,
the Companies have incurred recurring operating losses, have a working capital
deficiency and have lost virtually all of their customer base. Cherry
Communications Incorporated (d/b/a Resurgens Communications Group) filed
voluntary bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on
October 24, 1997, and is currently operating its business as a
debtor-in-possession under the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companies' ability to continue as a
going concern. Although Cherry Communications Incorporated (d/b/a Resurgens
Communications Group) is currently operating as a Debtor-In-Possession under the
jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court, the continuation of the business as a
going concern is contingent upon, among other things, the ability to formulate a
plan of reorganization which will gain approval of the creditors and
confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court, success of future operations, and the
ability to recover the carrying amount of assets and/or the amount and
classification of liabilities. The 1997 financial statements do not include any
adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and
classification of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that
may result from the outcome of the bankruptcy proceedings and related
uncertainties.

DECEMBER 31, 1997
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS
Cherry Communications Incorporated (d/b/a Resurgens Communications Group)
("Resurgens") is a facilities-based international long-distance carrier
operating five long distance switch centers throughout the United States and
overseas, and has arrangements with domestic and foreign long distance carriers
for processing international calls. Resurgens primarily provides long distance
network services to U.S. based long distance carriers. Although there are a
number of domestic and foreign long distance carriers, a change in carriers
could disrupt Resurgens' ability to service its customers, which would result in
a possible loss of operating revenues. In August 1997 Resurgens began
experiencing a substantial decline in revenues, and in October 1997 Resurgens
began restructuring its network to improve quality and eliminate those costs not
necessary to implement Management's decision to focus its business efforts as a
carrier's carrier. Resurgens' bankruptcy filing (as described in Note 2) which
resulted in a substantial loss of customers and a corresponding write-off in
accounts receivable was an initial step in implementing the new business
strategy.
The combined financial statements presented herein also include financial
statements of Cherry Communications U.K. Limited ("Cherry U.K.") which is held
under common ownership. This subsidiary has licensing and operating agreements
for international telephone access in association with Resurgens. Cherry U.K.
records an administrative revenue fee derived solely from Resurgens, based on an
agreed upon percentage of operating expense, which is eliminated in these
combined financial statements.
In October 1996, WorldCom Network Services ("WorldCom") threatened to stop
providing private line services and switch services to Resurgens as a result of
Resurgens' failure to pay WorldCom. In response, Resurgens commenced a lawsuit
against WorldCom asserting various claims including substantial billing
disputes. Effective July 24, 1997 the Companies settled their litigation and
claims against WorldCom. The settlement resulted, among other things, in the
execution by Resurgens of two promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount
of $165,000 (terms of which are further described in Note 3), the issuance of
shares of Resurgens to WorldCom (representing 19.9% of outstanding shares) and
the executions of a pledge and security agreement for 51% of the outstanding
shares of Resurgens and 51% of the outstanding shares of Cherry U.K. This pledge
and security agreement gave WorldCom the ability to effectively control 71% and
51% of the voting common shares of Resurgens and Cherry U.K., respectively.
After this settlement was reached WorldCom, Resurgens, Cherry U.K., James
R. Elliott (owner of 80.1% of Resurgens and sole owner of Cherry U.K.), and John
D. Phillips entered into a series of agreements, effective October 1, 1997,
whereby John D. Phillips received an option to purchase ("call right") James R.
Elliott's common stock of the combined Companies (1,000 shares of Resurgens and
50,000 shares of Cherry U.K.) for $1,000 and James R. Elliott received the right
to require ("put right") John D. Phillips to purchase the common stock of the
companies for $1,000. John D. Phillips was also granted a revocable voting proxy
for all of the shares owned and controlled by WorldCom, thereby giving him
effective control of Resurgens and Cherry U.K. In conjunction with John D.
Phillips obtaining effective control of the Companies, Resurgens filed a
voluntary petition for relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the Federal
Bankruptcy Code. In addition, WorldCom agreed to provide debtor-in-possession
financing (see Note 5). Effective May 8, 1998, John D. Phillips closed on his
option and acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Cherry U.K.
for $1,000. James R. Elliott's exercise of his put right related to the 1,000
shares of Resurgens stock has been enjoined by the Bankruptcy Court and the Plan
of Reorganization currently provides that Resurgens stockholders will receive no
consideration under the Plan.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- (CONTINUED)
PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION
The combined financial statements include the accounts of Resurgens and
Cherry U.K. (which is commonly controlled) (collectively, the "Companies").
Cherry U.K. was purchased by the major shareholder of Resurgens in November
1995. Cherry U.K.'s financial statements are prepared on a March 31 fiscal year
end. For combination purposes, March 31, 1998 financial statements of Cherry
U.K. have been combined with the December 31, 1997 financial statements of
Resurgens. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in combination.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Companies consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization
are generally computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the related assets as indicated below:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Telecommunications equipment.............................. 5-10 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment......................... 4-5 years
Leasehold improvements.................................... Life of lease
</TABLE>
In the event facts and circumstances indicate the cost of any long-lived
assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed. If
an evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows
associated with the assets would be compared to the carrying amount of the
assets to determine if a write down to fair value may be required.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues are derived primarily from the provision of long-distance
telecommunications services and are recognized when the services are provided.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1997 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"). SFAS 130 requires that
all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as
components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. SFAS 130
requires that an enterprise classify items of other comprehensive income by
their nature in a financial statement and display the accumulated balance of
other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional
paid-in capital in the equity section of the statement of financial position.
SFAS 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
The Companies intend to adopt the provisions of SFAS 130 in 1998 and do not
expect its application to have a material impact on the financial position or
results of operations of the Companies.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- (CONTINUED)
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Companies to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents,
trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and long term debt.
The Companies maintain cash and cash equivalents and certain other
financial instruments with various financial institutions. The Companies' policy
is designed to limit exposure at any one institution by performing periodic
evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Companies' financial instruments classified as
current assets or liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, and accounts payable approximate carrying value, principally because
of the short maturity of these items.
The carrying amounts of the long-term debt payable approximate fair value
due to the interest rates on these agreements approximating the Companies'
incremental borrowing rates, and the fair values of capitalized lease
obligations approximate carrying value based on their effective interest rates
compared to current market rates.
SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS
The Companies' revenues are derived from a variety of customers including
one customer, which accounted for 19% of the Companies' revenues during 1997.
ADVERTISING COSTS
Pursuant to American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)
Statement of Position No. 93-7, "Reporting on Advertising Cost," the Companies
expensed advertising costs of $2,226 as incurred in 1997.
COST OF SERVICES AND PRODUCTS
Cost of services include payments primarily to local exchange carriers
("LECs") and interexchange carriers, primarily for access and transport charges.
INCOME TAXES
Due to Resurgens' conversion from a subchapter S Corporation to a C
Corporation as of August 1, 1997, Resurgens began accounting for income taxes
under the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are
recorded to reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and the
amounts for income tax purposes.
For the period prior to August 1, 1997, all taxable losses were allocated
to the owners of Resurgens. Accordingly no income taxes are reflected for
Resurgens in the accompanying financial statements for the period prior to the
conversion. Cherry U.K. accounted for income taxes under the liability method
for fiscal 1997.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such
differences could be material.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Translation adjustments arising from combining Cherry U.K. are reflected
within the statements of operations as the US dollar is the functional currency
of Cherry U.K.
2. PETITION FOR RELIEF UNDER CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY
On October 24, 1997, Resurgens filed a voluntary petition for relief under
the provisions of Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11") in
the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the
"Court"). Cherry U.K. was not included in this bankruptcy filing. Under Chapter
11, certain claims against Resurgens in existence prior to the filing for relief
under the federal bankruptcy laws are stayed while Resurgens continues business
operations as a Debtor-in-Possession subject to the supervision of the Court.
Management filed a plan of reorganization on June 15, 1998 which contemplates
emergence in the third quarter of 1998. There can be no assurance at this time
that a plan of reorganization will be approved or confirmed by the Bankruptcy
Court, or that such plan will be consummated.
After an exclusivity period, creditors of Resurgens have the right to
propose alternative plans of reorganization. Any plan of reorganization, among
other things, is likely to result in material dilution of the equity of existing
stockholders as a result of a possible issuance of equity to creditors or new
investors.

2. PETITION FOR RELIEF UNDER CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY -- (CONTINUED)
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and
liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. However, as a
result of the Chapter 11 filing and circumstances relating to this event,
including Resurgens' leveraged financial structure and losses from operations,
such realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities is subject to
significant uncertainty. While under protection of Chapter 11, Resurgens may
sell or otherwise dispose of assets and liquidate or settle liabilities, for
amounts other than those reflected in the financial statements. Further, a plan
of reorganization could materially change the amounts reported in the financial
statements. Accordingly such financial statements do not give effect to all
adjustments of the carrying value of assets or liabilities that might be
necessary as a consequence of a plan of reorganization or the inability of the
Companies to continue as a going concern.
The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon, among other
things, confirmation of a plan of reorganization, future profitable operations,
and the ability to generate sufficient cash from operations and financing
arrangements to meet obligations.
3. LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO COMPROMISE
The principal categories of claims classified as liabilities subject to
compromise under the reorganization proceedings are identified below. These
amounts may be subject to future adjustment depending on the Court's action,
further developments with respect to disputed claims, determination as to the
value of any collateral securing claims, and other events. Additional claims may
arise resulting from rejection of additional executory contracts or unexpired
leases by Resurgens.

</TABLE>
Under the two WorldCom installment notes, which are secured by
substantially all of the Companies' assets and stock of the Corporations, any
defaults allow WorldCom to charge interest at 18% annually on all outstanding
balances, and to request the entire indebtedness to become due. The Companies
have defaulted on the $50,000 note payable due December 30, 1997, and subsequent
to year end, defaulted on the March 31, 1998 interest payment due on the
$115,000 note. Remedies of default are not waived under this agreement by any
failure or delay by any party in exercising any remedy of default.
On April 2, 1996 Resurgens settled a litigation case with Illinois Capital
Group related to delinquent payments for leased switching equipment. In
connection with this settlement, a promissory note was executed for
approximately $1,300. The note required monthly payments beginning April 15,
1996 with a penalty amount of $250 if Resurgens did not make payments when due.
Resurgens ceased payment on this note in mid 1997 and therefore this penalty
amount has been added to the principal balance.
Resurgens entered into a settlement agreement with Esplanade at Locust
Point Limited Partnership ("Esplanade") on January 29, 1996 which released
Resurgens from litigation claims involving leased office space. In connection
with this settlement, a promissory note was issued in the amount of $4,000, with
monthly payments of $100 to begin in March 1996, with no interest. Resurgens
failed to remit the required monthly payments during 1997. The agreement stated
that an additional $1,000 would be assessed and due if the companies failed to
meet the required payment schedule. Esplanade filed a claim against Resurgens
for the outstanding balance of the loan plus the additional penalty amount.
Prior to December 31, 1997, a judgment was reached in this case and an
additional amount of $894 was granted to Esplanade. This amount is subject to an
interest rate of 12.5% and is included in the principal balance amount at
December 31, 1997.
The Eastern Telecom installment note was signed on August 1, 1997, based
upon judicial court settlement, for $190. The amount relates to non-performance
of a purchase agreement for switching equipment by Resurgens.
As part of the Chapter 11 reorganization process, Resurgens has attempted
to notify all known or potential creditors of the Chapter 11 filing for the
purpose of identifying all pre-petition claims against Resurgens. Generally,
creditors whose claims arose prior to the Petition Date had until February 6,
1998 ("Bar Date") to file claims or be barred from asserting claims in the
future. Claims arising from rejection of

executory contracts by Resurgens, and claims related to certain other items were
permitted to be filed within other dates as set by the Court.
Differences between amounts shown by Resurgens and claims filed by
creditors are being investigated and will either be resolved or adjudicated. The
ultimate amount of and settlement terms for such liabilities are subject to the
confirmed plan of reorganization and are not presently determinable. The total
amount of proofs of claims filed in Court approximate $434,000, while the amount
accrued by Resurgens at December 31, 1997 is $336,751. This difference of
approximately $95,000 pertains to claims that management believes to be
duplicate claims, amounts relating to outstanding litigation (See Note 11) and
other disputed claims for which management is unable to predict the ultimate
outcome of and therefore, no provision has been recorded in the financial
statements for this difference.

5. DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION (DIP) FINANCING
In November 1997, the Court authorized Resurgens to enter into a financing
agreement with WorldCom in order to facilitate continued operations as a
debtor-in-possession. The terms of this financing agreement originally provided
for maximum advances thereunder to $19,000 and required repayment on April 30,
1998 at 12% interest.
On April 16, 1998 the financing agreement was amended to provide for an
increased maximum amount of $25,000 and an extended term through July 31, 1998.
As of June 5, 1998, the Company had borrowed an additional $13,700.

The net carrying value of assets under capital leases was $35,900 at
December 31, 1997, and is included in property and equipment. Amortization of
these assets is included in depreciation expense.
7. EMPLOYEE 401(K) PLAN
Effective January 1, 1997, Resurgens established a defined contribution
savings plan, intended to qualify under IRS Code Section 401(k), available to
all employees who complete six months of service and are at least age 21.
Employees may contribute up to 15% of their salary per year, subject to
statutory limitations, and Resurgens matches 100% of employee contributions up
to 5% of each employee's salary. Resurgens' matching contributions vest 20% per
year. Resurgens' expense under the plan during 1997 amounted to approximately
$98.
8. INCOME TAXES
For the period from inception through July 31, 1997, Resurgens elected to
have its income taxed directly to its individual shareholders under the
provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code ("the Code").
Accordingly, no deferred income taxes were established for Resurgens. Effective
August 1, 1997, the S-Corporation election was terminated due to a change in
ownership and Resurgens is now subject to federal and state income taxes. Upon
conversion to C corporation status, Resurgens recorded a net deferred tax asset
which was fully offset by the establishment of a valuation reserve. Accordingly,
no charge or benefit was made to the income tax provision to reflect the impact
of this change in tax status.
Effective August 1, 1997, the accompanying financial statements reflect
provisions for income taxes computed in accordance with the requirements of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109. With respect to
Cherry U.K., the accompanying financial statements reflect provisions for income
taxes calculated under the provisions of SFAS No. 109 since acquisition. For the
period prior to the change in tax status, the provision has been presented on a
pro forma basis as if Resurgens had been liable for federal and state income
taxes since January 1, 1997.
The Companies have generated significant net operating losses ("NOLs") both
in the United States and in the United Kingdom. These NOLs may be available to
offset future taxable income, subject to the limitations discussed below.
Resurgens has generated NOL carryforwards totaling $128,000 in the United

10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Effective April 1, 1997, Resurgens entered into a ten-year lease agreement
for an office building with shareholder related trusts. Until occupancy on or
about January 1, 1998, Resurgens is required to pay 50% of the monthly lease
amount or approximately $11 per month. For the year ended December 31, 1997, the
Companies recorded rent expense of $200 associated with this lease. In December
1997, Resurgens recorded a liability of $444 for rejecting the lease in
accordance with Chapter 11 provisions.
During fiscal 1997, Resurgens utilized WorldCom, a shareholder, for
transport services aggregating $27,834, which have been expensed by the
Companies in cost of service. The amount owed to WorldCom at December 31, 1997
is $188,992, of which $178,863 is recorded as liabilities subject to compromise.
Effective April 1998, Resurgens entered into a Carrier Service Agreement
with WorldCom pursuant to which WorldCom is obligated to purchase international
long distance services up to $25,000 a month provided the services are of
acceptable quality and the rates are at least equal to rates from other third
parties. The contract is for a one year initial term but automatically renews
each month, subject to a one year termination notice.
11. LITIGATION
The Companies are subject to numerous lawsuits, investigations and claims
(a number of which involve amounts that are material to these financial
statements) arising out of the conduct of its business, including those relating
to commercial transactions and regulatory matters. Such items generally relate
to claims made previous to Resurgens filing bankruptcy; therefore, the ultimate
liability of Resurgens is generally included in the liabilities subject to
compromise (see Note 3).
Resurgens is party to an action with AT&T in which AT&T filed suit against
Resurgens. Resurgens purchased long distance and international service from AT&T
from January 1996 through February 1997, and disputed the accuracy of certain
charges which prompted AT&T to terminate all services. AT&T seeks in excess of
$16,000 for alleged unpaid services. Resurgens has filed a counterclaim against
AT&T, alleging offset claims for the full amount of AT&T's claims, resulting
from alleged inaccurate billing by AT&T. Resurgens also alleges false and
deceptive advertising claims, unfair competition and deceptive business
practices claims against AT&T. Resurgens has recorded all disputed invoices
aggregating $16,528 and cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this case.
Resurgens is party to an action with MidCom Communications Inc. (MidCom).
Resurgens initially sued MidCom during 1996 and MidCom subsequently filed a case
against Resurgens. Resurgens sold a portion of its commercial customer base to
MidCom during 1995, but did not receive the full payment for the customer

base and sued MidCom for $16,200. MidCom filed a counter suit against the
Company asserting that Resurgens' actions related to the sale of the customer
base allegedly breached the contract, violated the Uniform Commercial Code, and
constituted tortious interference with the contract. MidCom filed a $36,000
proof of claim in Resurgens' bankruptcy case. The litigation of both parties has
been stayed and remanded to a bankruptcy court hearing. Given the uncertainty of
this matter, Management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this case
and accordingly, has not accrued any liability for this claim.
Coast to Coast Plus, Inc., a former customer, filed suit in November 1996
alleging that it suffered $10,000 in damages from Resurgens' "wrongful"
termination of its long-distance telecommunications services and overbillings
for services Resurgens did not provide. Resurgens filed an answer denying
liability and filed a counterclaim and a third party claim against the
principals of Coast to Coast which asserted four claims: two RICO claims, a
fraud claim, and a breach of contract, including $250 owed for long-distance
services. Management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this case and
accordingly, has not accrued any liability for this claim.
First Premier Bank asserted a claim for approximately $44,000 against
Cherry Payment Systems and Dallas Leasing Group, which are companies that were
merged into Resurgens in prior years, for non-payment on past due loans. First
Premier Bank did not file a proof of claim as of the bar date with the Court and
therefore management does not believe it is obligated for this amount. Given the
uncertainty of this asserted claim, Management can not predict the ultimate
outcome of this matter and accordingly, has not accrued any liability for this
claim.
The Companies are also involved in other claims, inquiries and litigation
arising in the ordinary course of business. The Companies believe that these
matters, taken individually or in the aggregate, would not have a material
adverse impact on the Companies' financial position or results of operations.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On May 12, 1998 the Companies and World Access, Inc. ("World Access") entered
into a merger agreement whereby World Access will acquire the Companies. The
agreement is subject to, among other things, Bankruptcy Court approval, certain
monthly revenue and gross margin levels, confirmation of Resurgens' Plan of
Reorganization and World Access shareholder approval. Pursuant to the terms of
the agreements, the creditors of Resurgens and shareholders of Cherry U.K. will
receive 3,125,000 and 625,000 shares of World Access common stock, respectively,
in the aggregate at the closing of the mergers. In addition, Resurgens'
creditors and Cherry U.K. shareholders would have the right to receive
additional consideration of up to 6,250,000 and 1,250,000 shares of World Access
common stock, respectively, over the next two and one-half years contingent upon
the achievement of certain financial criteria by the Companies.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
CHERRY COMMUNICATIONS INCORPORATED AND CHERRY COMMUNICATIONS U.K. LIMITED
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Cherry Communications
Incorporated and Cherry Communications U.K. Limited (collectively referred to as
the "Companies") as of December 31, 1996 and the related combined statements of
operations, stockholder's equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the two
years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companies' 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 combined financial position of Cherry
Communications Incorporated and Cherry Communications U.K. Limited as of
December 31, 1996, and the combined results of their operations and their
combined cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31,
1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Companies will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Notes 2 and 9 to the
financial statements, the Companies incurred substantial losses in 1995 and 1996
and have disputed significant net accounts payable balances due their primary
vendor. Although the dispute has been settled, as discussed in Note 10, and 1996
balances payable have been reduced, significant balances converted to notes
payable remain. The Companies' ability to obtain an equity infusion or
replacement financing for these notes is limited by the terms and collateral
arrangements of the settlement. The terms of the settlement agreement will
continue the Companies' dependence on this vendor as one of the Companies'
primary long distance carriers. These matters raise substantial doubt about the
Companies' ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard
to these matters are also described in Note 2. Continuation of the Companies is
dependent upon the Companies' ability to return to profitability and to achieve
sufficient cash flow from operations, additional debt or equity. The
accompanying combined statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Companies be
unable to continue as a going concern.

AND CHERRY COMMUNICATIONS U.K. LIMITED
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS
Cherry Communications Incorporated ("Cherry") commenced operations in 1991
as a successor through merger of five businesses operating in the payment
processing and credit authorization industry, including leasing of bank card
processing machinery. During 1992, Cherry discontinued the operations of the
five businesses and began the new business of a non-switch-based reseller of
long distance services to residential and commercial customers throughout the
United States. In late 1994, Cherry acquired its first long distance switch. As
of December 31, 1996, Cherry is a switch-based carrier operating nine long
distance switch centers throughout the United States and overseas, and has
arrangements with foreign carriers for processing of international calls. Cherry
provides its long distance network services to resellers, agents and end users
consisting of business and residential customers. At December 31, 1996, Cherry
primarily uses one long distance carrier, WorldCom, Inc., as its major long
distance carrier. Although there are a number of long distance carriers, a
change in carriers could disrupt Cherry's ability to service its customers,
which could result in a possible loss of operating revenues.
The combined financial statements presented herein also include financial
statements of Cherry Communications U.K. Limited ("Cherry U.K.") which is held
under common ownership. This affiliate has licensing and operating agreements
for international telephone access in association with Cherry.
PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION
The combined financial statements include the accounts of Cherry and Cherry
U.K. (collectively, the "Companies"). Cherry U.K. was purchased by the
shareholder of Cherry in November 1995. Cherry U.K.'s financial statements are
prepared on a March 31 fiscal year end. For combination purposes, Cherry U.K.'s
financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 1997 and for the
period ended March 31, 1996 have been combined with the December 31, 1996 and
1995 financial statements of Cherry, respectively. Significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in combination.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Companies consider all highly liquid investments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents
consist of money market fund investments and short-term certificates of deposit.
Exclusive of cash in banks, cash equivalents at December 31, 1996 approximate
fair value. At December 31, 1996, the Companies' certificates of deposits
approximated $2,176,000. The certificates of deposit are collateral for the
Companies' line of credit agreement (note 4).
INVESTMENTS
Short-term investments are comprised of equity securities. Investment
securities are classified as available-for-sale and are stated at fair value as
determined by quoted prices on exchanges. During the year ending December 31,
1996, all of the Companies' investment securities were transferred to the
Companies' primary vendor in partial settlement of outstanding line charges. The
fair value of these securities at the date of transfer approximated $2,357,000.
The Companies recognized a loss of $643,000 from the transfer. During the year
ending December 31, 1995, proceeds from the sale of investment securities was
$423,000 with no realized gain or loss recognized.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- (CONTINUED)
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization
are generally computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the related assets.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes on net taxable earnings are payable personally by the
stockholder, pursuant to an election under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue
Code, which states Cherry is not taxed as a corporation. Accordingly, no
provision has been made for Federal income taxes for Cherry. Cherry U.K. income
taxes are not material to the combined financial statements.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues are recorded upon placing of calls or rendering of other related
services.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Companies to
concentration of credit risk consist principally of trade receivables.
Concentration of credit risk with respect to these receivables is generally
diversified because the Companies' customer base includes many entities spread
across a large geographic area. The Companies routinely address the financial
strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believe that its receivable
credit risk exposure is limited.
USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

The functional currency of Cherry U.K. is the U.S. dollar. Consequently,

operations.
NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the
Companies will continue as a going concern. The Companies have sustained
significant losses in 1995 and 1996, and has a deficit in stockholder's equity
of approximately $153.4 million at December 31, 1996. As discussed in Note 9 --
Litigation, the Companies have various disputes with carriers for out-bound and
in-bound line charges which affect timing and amounts of collections and
payments. The most significant of these disputes is with WorldCom, Inc.
("WorldCom"), historically the Companies' primary carrier. As discussed in Note
10 -- Subsequent Events, the dispute with WorldCom has been settled as of July
24, 1997, resulting in, among other matters, a settlement of outstanding net
liabilities of $202,415,000 at July 15, 1997 ($175,633,000 at December 31, 1996)
for $165,000,000 in notes. The first new note of $50,000,000 is due on December
31, 1997. The second new note of $115,000,000 is due in quarterly installments
commencing October 23, 1998 through June 23, 2000, with interest payable
quarterly at 10% per annum.
Other terms of the settlement require the Companies to continue to pledge
all assets as collateral for the notes, except for equipment under capitalized
lease obligations; the Companies will issue shares representing 19.9% ownership
to WorldCom; and the sole shareholder must pledge 51% of total outstanding
shares as collateral. WorldCom will subordinate its collateral position up to
$100,000,000 for new borrowings by the Company if 75% of the proceeds from a
single new borrowing of up to $70.0 million or 50% of the proceeds from a single
new borrowing over $70.0 million are used to pay WorldCom.
These developments continue to have a material adverse effect and limit
their Companies' ability to meet their obligations as they come due and to
obtain financing or an equity infusion. The Companies' actions to address their
current liquidity constraints and their financial performance include
negotiations with potential lenders or equity participants. However, there can
be no assurances that the Companies' actions will improve their financial
performance or liquidity position or that they can avoid default on the December
31, 1997 payment of the $50,000,000 note obligation.

$1,000,000 on February 9, 1996 and then make 40 monthly payments of $100,000
beginning March 1996. Interest on the note was imputed at a rate of 12.5% as no
interest rate was explicitly stated in the agreement.
In March, 1996, Cherry entered into an agreement with Illinois Capital
Group ("ICG") as a settlement on equipment leases sold to ICG. Under the terms
of the agreement, Cherry is to make 17 equal monthly payments of $60,500,
including interest stated at 10% commencing April 15, 1996, with the final
payment of approximately $56,900 in principal and interest due on September 15,
1997. In the event Cherry or the shareholder interferes with existing leases
under the security agreement, an additional $250,000 penalty provision is due
ICG.
Principal amounts due under all of these debt arrangements at December 31,
1996 mature as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 5. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value of the Companies' financial instruments classified as
current assets or liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate carrying
value, principally because of the short maturity of these items.
The carrying amounts of the long-term debt payable approximates fair value
due to the interest rates on these agreements approximating Cherry's incremental
borrowing rates.
The fair values of capitalized lease obligations approximate carrying value
based on their effective interest rates compared to current market rates.
NOTE 6. CAPITALIZED LEASE OBLIGATIONS
The Companies lease telecommunications and other equipment through various
equipment lease financing facilities. Such leases have been accounted for as
capitalized lease obligations in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 13, "Accounting for Leases."

NOTE 8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Effective April 1, 1997, Cherry entered into a ten-year lease agreement for
an office building with shareholder related trusts. Until occupancy on or about
January 1, 1998, Cherry is required to pay 50% of the monthly lease amount or
approximately $11,000 per month. Lease payment terms, as determined by
independent appraisers, over the ten-year period range from $265,000 to $345,000
annually. At December 31, 1996, Cherry had recorded an initial deposit of
$100,000 for the lease. Tenant finish and other improvements to the office
facility are expected to approximate $4,000,000.
NOTE 9. LITIGATION
The Companies are subject to a number of lawsuits, investigations and
claims (some of which involve substantial amounts) arising out of the conduct of
their business, including those relating to commercial transactions and
regulatory matters. One such lawsuit was brought by Cherry against Digital
Communications of America, WorldCom Network Services Inc. and WorldCom Inc.
(collectively referred to as "WorldCom"), asserting various claims including
substantial billing disputes. WorldCom asserted various counterclaims.
Subsequent to December 31, 1996, the parties reached a settlement. See Note
10 -- Subsequent Events.
Cherry is also party to an action with AT&T in which AT&T filed suit
against Cherry. Cherry purchased long distance and international service from
AT&T from January, 1996 through February, 1997. Cherry disputed the accuracy of
certain charges and AT&T terminated all services. AT&T seeks $17.2 million for
alleged unpaid services. Cherry has counterclaimed against AT&T, alleging offset
claims for the full amount of AT&T's claims, resulting from alleged inaccurate
billing by AT&T. Cherry also alleges false and deceptive advertising claims,
unfair competition and deceptive business practices claims against AT&T. The
litigation is at an early stage. Parties have not yet engaged in discovery.
Cherry has recorded all disputed invoices.
In addition, the Companies are also party to an action with a U.K.-based
carrier in which the carrier filed suit in the U.K. against the Companies. The
Companies purchased international service from this carrier from February, 1996
through April, 1997. The carrier seeks approximately $5.0 million for alleged
unpaid services and finance charges. The litigation is at an early stage. The
Companies recorded all of the carrier's invoices.
The Companies are also involved in other litigation concerning significant
collection matters, some of which have resulted in counterclaims. Based on
advice of counsel, the Companies believe such matters will be resolved within
the limits of its collection reserves.
Coast to Coast Plus, Inc., a former carrier customer, filed suit in
November, 1996 alleging that it suffered $10 million in damages from Cherry's
"wrongful" termination of its long-distance telecommunication services and
overbillings for services Cherry did not provide. Cherry filed an answer denying
liability and filed a counterclaim and a third party claim against the
principals of Coast to Coast which asserted four claims: two RICO claims, a
fraud claim, and a breach of contract, including $250,000 owed for long-distance
services. Deposition and discovery is underway. Based on advice of counsel,
Cherry believes this litigation will not have a material effect on the combined
financial position.
The Companies are also involved in other miscellaneous claims, inquiries
and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Companies believe
that these matters, taken individually or in the aggregate, would not have a
material adverse impact on the Companies' combined financial position or results
of operations.

NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Effective April 1, 1997, Cherry entered into a new lease with a related
party for new office facilities. See Note 8 -- Related Party Transactions.
On July 2, 1997, Cherry entered into a letter of intent with EqualNet
Holding Corp. ("EqualNet") for a proposed business transaction expected to be a
merger of the Company into EqualNet, with Cherry's stockholder retaining 91% of
the combined entity. The transaction is expected to be treated as a reverse
purchase acquisition and is subject to due diligence, shareholder approval and
certain other preconditions.
Effective July 24, 1997, Cherry settled its litigation and claims against
WorldCom. The settlement provides for, among other matters, the following:
(1) All claims of both parties as of July 15, 1997 (estimated by
Cherry to be approximately $202.4 million net accounts, notes and interest
payable) to be converted to two notes payable in the individual amounts of
$50.0 million and $115.0 million. The first note of $50.0 million is
non-interest bearing and due December 31, 1997. The second note of $115.0
million is due in quarterly installments commencing October 23, 1998
through July 23, 2000. Interest is payable at 10% per annum and is due on
March 31, 1998, June 30, 1998, July 23, 1998 and quarterly thereafter.
(2) WorldCom is granted continued security interests in all of the
assets of Cherry, except for the limited security interest granted to
Cherry's bank up to $2.0 million.
(3) The sole shareholder executes a pledge and security agreement
granting a first-priority interest in 51% of the outstanding shares of
Cherry subject to anti-dilution provisions.
(4) On August 1, 1997, Cherry is required to issue common shares
equivalent to 19.9% of the then-outstanding shares of Cherry to WorldCom,
also subject to anti-dilution provisions.
(5) Similar pledge (51%) agreement requirement applies to the
shareholder's interest in Cherry U.K..
(6) WorldCom will subordinate its security interests up to $100.0
million for new borrowings if certain proceeds of such borrowings are
remitted to WorldCom (75% for a single borrowing up to $70.0 million or 50%
for a single borrowing over $70 million).
(7) If Cherry repays both notes by December 30, 1997, it or its
nominee may repurchase the transferred shares totaling 19.9% for $10.
Cherry has reflected the settlement reduction of net payables of
approximately $37.4 million as a reduction of disputed costs and finance charges
of $11.4 million and $26.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 and the
six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
GENERAL HISTORICAL INFORMATION:
ACQUISITIONS OF ATI AND NACT
The ATI acquisition consummated on January 29, 1998 and the NACT Stock
Purchase consummated on February 27, 1998 have been accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting. The historical consolidated financial statements
of New World Access include the results of the operations of ATI and NACT from
February 1, 1998 and March 1, 1998, respectively. The purchase price of ATI and
the majority interest in NACT was allocated to the fair values of the net assets
acquired, to in-process research and development projects and to goodwill.
During the first quarter of 1998, $5.4 million and $44.6 million of purchased
in-process research and development technologies related to the ATI acquisition
and the NACT Stock Purchase, respectively, was expensed in accordance with the
applicable accounting rules. See Note 2 to Consolidated Financial Statements in
the World Access June 30 Form 10-Q for further descriptions of these
acquisitions.
AEROTEL LITIGATION
On August 24, 1996, Aerotel, Ltd. and Aerotel U.S.A., Inc. (collectively,
"Aerotel") commenced an action against NACT and a customer of NACT alleging that
telephone systems manufactured and sold by NACT incorporating prepaid debit card
features infringe upon Aerotel's patent which was issued in November 1987. See
Note 8 to Consolidated Financial Statements in the World Access June 30 Form
10-Q for further description of this litigation.
As part of the negotiations relating to the acquisition of NACT, World
Access and GST Telecommunications, Inc. agreed to share evenly any Aerotel
judgment against NACT, including NACT's legal fees. Subsequent to the NACT Stock
Purchase, World Access has been actively engaged in settlement negotiations. On
July 9, 1998, World Access, GST and Aerotel entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding to settle the Aerotel litigation. Including legal fees, World
Access now estimates its Aerotel settlement costs will be approximately $3.3
million. The settlement costs expected to be incurred by World Access have been
accounted for as additional NACT purchase price as of June 30, 1998.
IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Overview. The nature of the efforts required to develop the purchased
in-process technology into commercially viable products principally relate to
the completion of all planning, designing, prototyping, verification, and test
activities that are necessary to establish that the product can be produced to
meet its design specifications, including functions, features, and technical
performance requirements.
The value of the purchased in-process technology was determined by
estimating the projected net cash flows related to such products, including
costs to complete the development of the technology and the future revenues to
be earned upon commercialization of the products. These cash flows were
discounted back to their net present value. The resulting projected net cash
flows from such projects were based on management's estimates of revenues and
operating profits related to such projects. These estimates were based on
several assumptions, including those summarized below for each respective
acquisition.
If these projects to develop commercial products based on the acquired
in-process technology are not successfully completed the sales and profitability
of New World Access may be adversely affected in future periods. Additionally,
the value of other intangible assets may become impaired.
NACT. NACT provides advanced telecommunications switching platforms with
integrated applications software and network telemanagement capabilities. NACT
designs, develops, and manufacturers all hardware and software elements
necessary for a fully integrated, turnkey telecommunications switching solution.
The nature of the in-process research and development was such that
technological feasibility had not been
F-54
<PAGE> 58
NEW WORLD ACCESS
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
attained. Failure to attain technological feasibility, especially given the high
degree of customization required for complete integration into the NACT
solution, would have rendered partially designed hardware and software useless
for other applications. Incomplete design of hardware and software coding would
create a non-connective, inoperable product that would have no alternative use.
NACT's business plan called for a shift in market focus to larger
customers, both domestic and international; therefore, NACT had numerous
projects in development at the time of the acquisition. Additionally, the
pending completion of a major release of NACT's billing system required
significant development efforts to ensure continued integration with NACT's
product suite. The purchased in-process technology acquired in the NACT
acquisition was comprised of nine projects related to switching systems. These
projects were scheduled to be released between February 1998 and December 1999.
Most major projects had several ongoing sub-projects (e.g., a hardware design
project and a software design project). These projects included significant
redevelopment of some existing products and the creation of new products. The
research and development projects were at various stages of development. None of
the in-process projects considered in the write-off had attained technological
feasibility.
NACT had thirteen projects (the nine switching projects noted above and the
related sub projects) in development at the time of acquisition. These projects
were at multiple stages along NACT's development timeline. Some projects were
beginning testing in NACT labs; others were at earlier stages of planning and
designing. Eleven projects were scheduled for release between February and
December of 1998. The remaining two projects were scheduled for staggered
release over 1998 and 1999. Revenue projections for the in-process technologies
reflected the anticipated release dates of each project.
Revenue attributable to in-process technology was assumed to increase in
the first five years of the twelve-year projection at annual rates ranging from
52.7% to 7.2%, decreasing over the remaining years at annual rates ranging from
- -2.7% to -61.2% as other products are released in the marketplace. Projected
annual revenue attributable to in-process technology ranged from approximately a
low of $6.3 million to a high of $117.2 million within the term of the
projections. These projections were based on assumed penetration of the existing
customer base, synergies as a result of the NACT acquisition, and movement into
new markets. Projected revenues from in-process technology were assumed to peak
in 2002 and decline from 2003 through 2009 as other new products are expected to
enter the market.
In-process technology's contribution to the operating profit of NACT
(earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization) was
projected to grow within the projection period at annual rates ranging from a
high of 119.2% to a low of 11.0% during the first five years, decreasing during
the remaining years of the projection period similar to the revenue growth
projections described above. Projected in-process technology's annual
contribution to operating profit ranged from approximately $1.7 million to $34
million within the term of the projections.
The discount rate used to value the existing technology of NACT was 14.0%.
This discount rate was estimated relative to the overall business discount rate
of 15.0% based on (1) the completed status of the products utilizing existing
technology (i.e., the lack of development risk), and (2) the potential for
obsolescence of current products in the marketplace.
The discount rate used to value the in-process technology of NACT was
15.0%. This discount rate was estimated relative to the overall business
discount rate of 15.0% based on (1) the incomplete status of the products
expected to utilize the in-process technology (i.e., development risk), (2) the
expected market risk of the planned products relative to the existing products,
(3) the emphasis on targeting larger customers for the planned products, (4) the
expected demand for the products from current and prospective NACT customers,
(5) the anticipated increase in NACT's sales force, and (6) the nature of
remaining development tasks relative to previous development efforts.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Management estimates that the costs to develop the in-process technology
acquired in the NACT acquisition will be approximately $4.1 million in the
aggregate through the year 1999 ($3,249,000 in 1998 and $829,000 in 1999). The
expected sources of funding were scheduled research and development expenses
from the operating budget of NACT provided by the operating assets and
liabilities of NACT.
ATI. ATI develops and manufactures a series of high-performance digital
microwave/millimeter radio equipment. Their products reach across all frequency
bands and data rates and offer numerous features. The nature of the in-process
research and development was such that technological feasibility had not been
attained. Failure to attain technological feasibility would have rendered
partially designed equipment useless for other applications. ATI's products are
designed for specific frequency bandwidths and, as such, are highly customized
to those bandwidths and the needs of customers wishing to operate in them.
Products only partially completed for certain bandwidths cannot be used in other
bandwidths.
Between each product line, various stages of development had been reached.
Additionally, within each product line, different units had reached various
stages of development. Of the products management considered in-process, none
had attained technological feasibility. The purchased-in-process technology
acquired in the ATI acquisition was comprised of three primary projects related
to high-performance, digital microwave/millimeter radio equipment. Each project
consists of multiple products. These projects were at multiple stages along
ATI's typical development timeline. Some projects were beginning testing in ATI
labs; others were at earlier stages of planning and designing. The majority of
the products were scheduled to be released during 1998 and 1999. Revenue
projections for the in-process technologies reflected the anticipated release
dates of each project.
Revenue attributable to in-process technology was estimated to increase
within the first three years of the seven-year projection at annual rates
ranging from a high of 240.7% to a low of 2.3%, decreasing within the remaining
years at annual rates ranging from -30.9% to -60.9% as other products are
released in the marketplace. Projected annual revenue attributable to in-process
technology ranged from approximately a low of $10.1 million to a high of $71.1
million within the term of the projections. These projections were based on
assumed penetration of the existing customer base, synergies as a result of the
ATI acquisition, and movement into new markets. Projected revenues from
in-process technology were assumed to peak in 2001 and decline from 2003 through
2004 as other new products are expected to enter the market.
In-process technology's contribution to the operating profit of ATI
(earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization) was
estimated to grow within the projection period at annual rates ranging from a
high of 665.9% to a low of 43.9% during the first four years, decreasing during
the remaining years of the projection period similar to the revenue growth
projections described above. Projected in-process technology's annual
contribution to operating profit ranged from approximately a low of -$900,000 to
a high of $9.1 million within the term of the projections.
The discount rate used to value the existing technology of ATI was 23.0%.
This discount rate was estimated relative to the overall business discount rate
of 25.0% based on (1) the completed status of the products utilizing existing
technology (i.e., the lack of development risk), and (2) the potential for
obsolescence of current products in the marketplace.
The discount rate used to value the in-process technology of ATI was 26.0%.
This discount rate was estimated relative to the overall business discount rate
of 25.0% based on (1) the incomplete status of the products expected to utilize
the in-process technology (i.e., development risk), (2) the expected market risk
of the planned products relative to the existing products, (3) the emphasis on
different markets than those currently pursued by ATI, and (4) the nature of
remaining development tasks relative to previous development efforts.
Management estimates that the costs to develop the in-process technology
acquired in the ATI acquisition will be approximately $24.3 million in the
aggregate through the year 2002 ($3.3 million, $7.2
F-56

million, $7.6 million, $5.1 million, and $1.1 million in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001,
and 2002, respectively). The expected sources of funding were scheduled R&D
expenses from the operating budget of ATI provided by the operating assets and
liabilities of ATI.
Telco. Telco develops and manufactures products focused on providing
integrated access for network services. Telco's products can be separated into
three categories: (1) broadband transmission products, (2) network access
products, and (3) bandwidth optimization products. Telco's products are deployed
at the edge of the service provider's networks to provide organizations with a
flexible, cost-effective means of transmitting voice, data, video and image
traffic over public or private networks.
At the time of acquisition, Telco had eight primary projects in development
relating to next-generation telecommunication and data network hardware. These
projects were at various stages in the development process. Some were about to
enter the testing phase of the initial hardware prototype, while others were
still in the early concept and design specification stages. These eight projects
were scheduled for commercial release at various points in time from December
1998 through late 1999/early 2000.
Telco's in-process research and development projects are being developed to
run on new communications protocols and technologies not employed in its current
products. These include HDSL, SONET, Voice over IP and ATM inverse multiplexing.
Additionally, the products to be commercialized from Telco's in process research
and development are expected to include interface support not in Telco's current
product line, including E1, DS3 and OC3.
None of the in-process projects at Telco considered in the write-off are
expected to achieve technological feasibility before the consummation of World
Access' acquisition of Telco. Furthermore, if the projects are not completed as
planned, the in-process research and development will have no alternative use.
Failure of the in process technologies to achieve technological feasibility may
adversely affect the future profitability of World Access.
Revenue attributable to Telco's aggregate in-process technology was assumed
to increase over the first six years of the projection period at annual rates
ranging from a high of 195% to a low of zero growth, reflecting both the
displacement of Telco's old products by these new products as well as the
expected growth in the overall market in which Telco's products compete.
Thereafter, revenues are projected to decline over the remaining projection
period at annual rates ranging from -14% to -42%, as the acquired in process
technologies become obsolete and are replaced by newer technologies.
Management's projected annual revenues attributable to the aggregate
acquired in-process technologies, which assume that all such technologies
achieve technological feasibility, ranged from a low of approximately $28
million to a high of approximately $276 million. Projected revenues were
projected to peak in 2004 and decline thereafter through 2009 as other new
products enter the market.
The acquired in-process technology's contribution to the operating income
of Telco (and subsequently World Access) was projected to grow over the first
five years of the projection period at annual rates ranging from a high of 142%
to a low of 20% with one intermediate year of marginally declining operating
income. Thereafter, the contribution to operating income was projected to
decline through the projection period. The acquired in-process technology's
contribution to operating income ranged from a loss of approximately $5 million
to a high of approximately $86 million.
The discount rate used to value the existing technology was 20.0%. This
discount rate was selected because of the asset's intangible characteristics,
the risk associated with the economic life expectations of the technology, and
the risk associated with the financial assumptions with respect to the
projections used in the analysis.
The discount rate used to value the in-process technologies was 25.0%. This
discount rate was selected due to several incremental inherent risks. First the
actual useful economic life of such technologies may differ
F-57

NEW WORLD ACCESS
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
from the estimates used in the analysis. Second, risks associated with the
financial projections on the specific products that comprise the acquired
in-process research and development. The third factor is the incomplete and
unproven nature of the technologies. Finally, future technological advances that
are currently unknown may negatively impact the economic and functional
viability of the in-process R&D.
Management expects that the cost to complete the development of the
acquired in-process technologies and to commercialize the resulting products
will aggregate approximately $16 million through 2001. Over the projection
period, management expects to spend an additional aggregate $46 million on
sustaining development efforts relating to the acquired in-process technologies.
These sustaining efforts include bug fixing, form-factor changes, and identified
upgrades.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED BALANCE SHEET:
NACT MINORITY INTEREST ADJUSTMENTS
(A) The acquisition of the minority interest of NACT will be accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting. In addition, in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, the portion of the purchase price
allocable to the in-process research and development projects of NACT will be
expensed at the consummation of the NACT Transaction. The amount of the one-time
non-recurring charge is expected to approximate $21.9 million. Since this charge
is directly related to the acquisition and will not recur, the Unaudited Pro
Forma Statements of Operations have been prepared excluding this charge. New
World Access has not determined the final allocation of the purchase price, and
accordingly, the amount ultimately determined may differ significantly from the
amounts shown below.
The unallocated excess of purchase price over the net assets acquired is
determined as follows (in thousands):
Purchase price of approximately 32.7% minority interest in NACT:

(i) The in-process research and development write-off of $21.9 million is
based on the valuation performed in connection with the NACT Stock Purchase. The
valuation report assigned a value of $66.5 million to the in-process research
and development projects as of the date of the NACT Stock Purchase, of which
67.3% or $44.6 million was expensed at the consummation of the NACT Stock
Purchase. Management estimates that an additional $21.9 million of in-process
research and development projects will be written-off in conjunction with the
consummation of the NACT Transaction. New World Access will obtain an updated
valuation of the in-process research and development projects as of the closing
of the NACT Transaction for use in determining the final purchase accounting for
the NACT Transaction.

(i) Represents an estimate of $1.0 million to be paid to the creditors of
Resurgens under a cash settlement plan proposed by New World Access and
approximately $2.0 million to be paid to governmental creditors.
(ii) The value assigned to the 3,750,000 restricted New World Access shares
to be issued to the creditors and Renaissance Partners at the closing date will
be $25.17, the seven trading days average closing price of New World Access
common stock, including the three days prior and the three days subsequent to
May 12, 1998, the date economic terms of the Resurgens Transaction were
announced, less a 30% discount attributable to the restrictive nature of the
shares. New World Access consulted with an independent financial advisor
knowledgeable of the transaction in determining the appropriate discount.
Specific factors supporting the discount are (1) the length of the restriction,
(2) the number of shares subject to restriction, and (3) the volatility of New
World Access common stock [the closing price on the announcement date was $37.06
and the closing price on August 28, 1998 was $23.13, a 37.6% reduction].
Management of New World Access believes the discount rate to be used in valuing
these restricted shares is appropriate and reasonable.
In addition to the shares noted above, the creditors and Renaissance
Partners will also be issued 7,500,000 restricted New World Access shares at the
closing (the "Escrowed Shares"). These shares will be immediately placed into
escrow and will be valued at par value only, or $75,000. As it becomes probable
that

the conditions for release from escrow will be met, the fair market value of the
shares as measured at that time will be recorded as additional goodwill and
stockholders' equity, respectively.
Specifically, the Escrowed Shares will be released in the amounts and on
the dates specified below if the sum of the EBITDA for Resurgens for the
performance periods set forth below equals or exceeds the Target EBITDA for such
performance period as set forth below:

</TABLE>
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Exchange Closing Date is (a) on or
after August 16, 1998 but prior to September 30, 1998, then the First
Performance Period shall commence on September 1, 1998 and shall terminate on
(and including) December 31, 1998 and the Target EBITDA with respect thereto
shall be reduced to $6,700,000, or (b) on or after September 30, 1998, then the
First Performance Period shall commence on the first day of the calendar month
in which the Exchange Closing occurs and shall terminate on (and including) the
last day of the sixth calendar month following the month in which the Exchange
Closing occurs, the release date shall be forty-five (45) days after the end of
such period and the Target EBITDA shall be equal to the sum of (i) $2,100,000
for each calendar month of 1998 included in the First Performance Period and
(ii) $2,400,000 for each calendar month of 1999 included in the First
Performance Period.
If, after the Exchange, the EBITDA of Resurgens is less than the Target
EBITDA required for the release of Escrowed Shares in either of the First or
Second Performance Periods (and with respect to the Second Performance Period is
no less than zero), then, notwithstanding anything described herein, the
Escrowed Shares shall be released if the actual cumulative EBITDA for Resurgens
for such Performance Period and any subsequent Performance Periods equals or
exceeds the cumulative Target EBITDA for such Performance Periods.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (a) if during any calendar
quarter of the Second Performance Period, the closing price per share of the
World Access Common Stock as reported by Nasdaq equals or exceeds $65.00 for any
five consecutive trading days during such calendar quarter, then 25% of all of
the shares of Escrowed Shares shall be released on February 15, 2000, provided
that if no Escrowed Shares are eligible for release during any such calendar
quarter, then such Escrowed Shares shall become eligible for release in a
subsequent calendar quarter of the Second Performance Period if the closing
price per share of the Holdco Common Stock as reported by Nasdaq equals or
exceeds $65.00 for a total number of consecutive trading days during such
subsequent calendar quarter equal to or exceeding the total number of trading
days which such closing price was required to equal or exceed for (i) such
subsequent calendar quarter and (ii) each of the previous calendar quarters
beginning with the calendar quarter for which such Escrowed Shares were not
eligible for release; (b) if the EBITDA of Resurgens for the Second Performance
Period equals or exceeds $52,775,000, then the Escrowed Shares related to the
Third Performance Period shall be released on February 15, 2000; and (c) all of
the Escrowed Shares shall be released upon a Change of Control (as defined in
the Exchange Agreement).

(iii) The combined historical accounts of Resurgens include pre-petition
creditor liabilities of $334.5 million, which are classified as "liabilities
subject to compromise," and borrowings under the WorldCom, Inc.
debtor-in-possession financing facility of $22.0 million as of June 30, 1998,
respectively. These liabilities will be satisfied in connection with the Plan of
Reorganization, which has been approved by the creditors committee and is
expected to be confirmed by the bankruptcy court in early September 1998. Upon
the confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization and the closing of the Resurgens
Transaction, the creditors will receive shares of RCG common stock in exchange
for the surrender of all of their claims against RCG. Immediately thereafter,
the creditors' shares of RCG will be cancelled and automatically converted into
the right to receive shares of New World Access Common Stock, a portion of which
will be received directly and a portion of which will be deposited into escrow
pending the satisfaction of certain conditions. All such shares of New World
Access Common Stock are subject to certain contractual restrictions.
The confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization is a condition precedent to
the closing of the Resurgens Transaction. Therefore, the combined historical
stockholders deficit of $354.4 million as of June 30, 1998 has been adjusted to
reflect a $352.6 million reduction for the liabilities subject to compromise and
the WorldCom, Inc. debtor-in-possession financing facility for purposes of the
unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet.
(iv) Estimates of fair market value of the licenses and the switching
equipment acquired have been made by management. These estimates are subject to
adjustment pending final valuations to be obtained from independent appraisers.
(v) At the time the Resurgens Transaction is consummated, Resurgens is
expected to have in excess of $125 million in net operating loss carryforwards
available to offset future federal taxable income. Based on its current
assessment of the forecasted operating results of Resurgens and other pertinent
factors, management expects at least 35% of these future tax benefits will be
realized. Accordingly, a deferred tax asset of $44 million, net of a 65%
valuation allowance of approximately $29 million, has been reflected in the Pro
Forma Combined Balance Sheet. The amount of the valuation allowance is subject
to future analysis and may be revised prior to the closing of the Resurgens
Transaction.
The pro forma loss of the combined entity is not indicative of the results
of operations that are expected to be achieved by the combined entity in the
future. The nature of Resurgens current operations are concentrated solely on
the international carriers' carrier business and an upgraded, efficient
operating network is now in place. Resurgens has a new, experienced management
team in place and has entered into several new contracts to increase its revenue
base, including a significant service contract with WorldCom Network Services,
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of WorldCom, Inc. Prior to the acquisition of
Resurgens, it is expected that Resurgens will be essentially debt free due to
its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. In addition, there are several closing
conditions that must be satisfied before the Resurgens Transaction is
consummated, including the achievement by Resurgens of monthly revenues of $25
million and related gross profit margin of greater than 5% for the calendar
month immediately preceding the closing date
(D) Eliminate existing stockholders' equity.
TELCO PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
(E) The Telco Merger will be accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. In addition, in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, the portion of the purchase price allocable to the in-process
research and development projects of Telco will be expensed at the consummation
of the acquisition. The amount of the one-time non-recurring charge is expected
to approximate $73.9 million. Since this charge is directly related to the
acquisition and will not recur, the Unaudited Pro Forma Statements of Earnings
have been prepared excluding this charge. New World Access has not determined
the final allocation of the purchase price, and accordingly, the amount
ultimately determined may differ significantly from the amounts shown below.

(i) Based on the terms of the Telco Merger Agreement and the value of World
Access Common Stock as of August 28, 1998, Telco stockholders are currently
expected to receive approximately 6.5 million freely tradeable shares of New
World Access common stock at the time of the Telco Merger. The value assigned to
these shares will be $29.26 per share, the seven trading days average closing
price of World Access Common Stock which include the three trading days prior
and the three trading days subsequent to June 4, 1998, the date economic terms
of the Telco Merger were announced.

gross temporary differences arising from the differences between book and tax
basis of certain assets and liabilities and for tax credits available to Telco
and New World Access. It is the opinion of management that these tax assets are
likely to be utilized by Telco or New World Access.

preliminary valuation report prepared by an independent appraiser and represents
the value of Telco's current technology calculated using the income approach.
(iv) The amount of in-process research and development costs of $73.9
million is based on a preliminary valuation report prepared by an independent
appraiser, based on factors considered such as the number of projects in
process, the potential alternative future uses of those projects and estimated
future projected revenues from those projects. New World Access will obtain an

CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
We consent to the inclusion of our report dated June 5, 1998 with respect
to the combined financial statements of Cherry Communications Incorporated
