     financial statements of Telecomm Industries Corp. ("Telecomm" or the
     "Company") have been prepared without audit and do not include all of the
     information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting

     of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
     Company as of March 31, 1998 and the results of its operations for the
     quarter then ended.   These adjustments are of normal and recurring nature.
     Therefore, the accompanying interim financial statements should be read in
     conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
     included in the Form 10-KSB of the Company for the year ended December 31,
     1997.

     of common stock have been made in accordance with the Financial Accounting
     Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,

     the provisions of SFAS No. 128 beginning with the year ended December 31,
     1997.  All prior and interim period earnings per share amounts have been
     restated accordingly.  All securities that have an anti-dilutive effect on
     earnings per share have been excluded from such computations.

     Options to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock at $3.00 to $10.00 per
     share were outstanding during the quarter, but were not included in the
     computation of diluted EPS because the options' exercise price was greater
     than the average market price of the common shares during the period.

3.   ACQUISITIONS - On February 20, 1998, the Company acquired Division-Tel
     Communications, Inc. ("Division-Tel") under the provisions of an Asset
     Purchase Agreement.  Under the terms of this agreement, the Company issued
     350,000 shares of its common stock valued at $420,000, paid $10,000 in
     cash, issued a $20,000 promissory note, due August 1998 (bearing interest
     at a fixed rate of 9%), and assumed approximately $370,000 of 
     Division-Tel's liabilities in exchange for all of the outstanding common 
     stock of Division-Tel.

     The net purchase price was allocated as follows:

ITEM 2.

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

OVERVIEW

     Telecomm is one of the nation's largest RBOC distributors.  The Company
sells voice, data, cellular, video and telephone information network solutions
to business customers throughout its five-state region.  Ameritech and Bell
South are Telecomm's primary RBOC partners.  In addition, Telecomm represents
numerous manufacturers of voice and data equipment by marketing, installing and
maintaining their telecommunications equipment.  Telecomm also operates as a
value added reseller of data equipment.

     Because of a change in Ameritech's commission payment structure, the
Company adopted a new compensation plan for its sales force in 1996.  Before
June 1996, Ameritech paid 100% of the commissions earned at the time the service
was installed.  After June 1996, Ameritech began paying Telecomm 60% of the
commissions earned at the time the service was installed and the remaining 40%
over the life of the contract. The Company adopted an aggressive commission
policy which enabled it to adjust to the new method of payment from Ameritech,
while continuing to actively attract and maintain skilled, experienced
salespeople.

     In addition, Ameritech's new billing and customer record consolidates and
standardizes its five non-standard billing systems.  The combined effect on the
Company of the change in timing of commission payments and the new system
implementation lengthened the collection period for Ameritech receivables,
adversely affecting the Company's working capital and cash flow. 

     Under Ameritech's accelerator bonus system, significant bonuses are awarded
to the Company for each commission dollar earned over a certain threshold.  Once
the threshold is reached, revenue derived from Ameritech sales increases at a
greater rate than prior to the Company's obtaining the target.  Also, once the
target is reached, the Company earns promotional and co-op advertising dollars
to be spent in the subsequent year.

     While Ameritech is Telecomm's most significant supplier, Telecomm's recent
acquisitions have enabled it to diversify its product mix.  Unitel, acquired in
August 1997, derives revenues predominantly from equipment and service sales.
Prior to the Unitel acquisition, Telecomm derived revenues primarily from RBOC
commissions.  Management believes that this diversification will enable Telecomm
to continue its rapid growth and maintain its relationship with Ameritech while
at the same time significantly reducing its reliance on Ameritech.

YEAR 2000 TECHNOLOGY

     Based upon a preliminary study by management, Telecomm does not expect to
incur material costs to modify its current computer information systems to
enable proper processing of transactions relating to the year 2000 and beyond. 
However, Telecomm continues to evaluate whether additional corrective action
will be necessary.  Telecomm made no material expenditures in the first quarter
of 1998 relating to year 2000 technology.

FIRST QUARTER OF 1998 VS. FIRST QUARTER OF 1997

     The Company's net revenues increased 112% to $5.5 million for the first 
three months of 1998 from $2.6 million in the comparable 1997 period.  $2.0 
million, or 69%, of this increase was due to sales generated by Unitel, Inc. 
("Unitel"), which was acquired by the Company in August 1997.  The remaining 
increase was primarily attributable to increased commissions from network 
services sales and equipment sales and related services generated by 
Telecomm's other operations.  Net revenues from equipment sales and related 
services increased 149% to $2.7 million in the first three months of 1998 (of 
which $1.9 million related to voice equipment and $.8 million related to data 
network services), from $1.1 million in the first three months of 1997, 
including $1.3 million in Unitel sales in the 1998 period.  Net revenues from 
network services sales increased 79% to $2.6 million in the first three 
months of 1998 (of which $1.9 million related to voice network services and 
$.7 million related to data network and services), from $1.4 million in the 
comparable period for 1997, including $.6 million from Unitel sales in the 
1998 period.  For the three months ended March 31, 1998, sales of equipment 
and related services represented 50% of net revenues, sales of network 
services represented 47% of net revenues, and long-distance and other 
services represented 3% of net revenue compared to 42%, 55%, and 2%, 
respectively for the three months ended March 31, 1997. 

     Commissions, contractor fees and related expenses increased $1.5 million to
$2.4 million in the first three months of 1998, a 186% increase from such
expenses of $.8 million in the first three months in 1997.  $1.1 million, or
75%, of this increase is attributable to costs associated with Unitel sales. 
The remainder of the increase was primarily due to increased costs of labor and
equipment to support sales generated by Telecomm's other operations in the first
three months of 1998.  As a percentage of net revenues, these expenses increased
to 43% during the first three months of 1998 from 32% during the first three
months of 1997.  This increase was primarily due to costs associated with Unitel
sales, which were 59% of net revenues, and the increased focus on equipment 
sales of other divisions of the Company.  Commissions, contractor fees and 
related expenses for equipment sales, which are primarily conducted by the 
Company through Unitel, require a higher percentage of the Company's revenues 
than the Company's other sales and services.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased $1.1
million to $2.6 million in the first three months of 1998, a 71% increase from
SG&A expenses of $1.5 million in the comparable 1997 period.  Expenses
associated with Unitel sales accounted for $1.0 million, or 88%, of the
increase.  As a percentage of net revenues, these expenses decreased to 49%
during the first three months of 1998, from 60% during the first three months of
1997, primarily as a result of increased net revenues of the Company without a
corresponding increase in the costs necessary to support the additional sales. 

     In the first three months of 1998 interest expense increased by $37,000, or
112%, to $70,000 from $33,000 in the comparable 1997 period, primarily because
of increased borrowings by the Company under its line of credit facility and the
long-term debt issued in connection with the acquisitions of Long-Tell
Communications, Inc. ("Long Tell"), Northeastern Communications, Inc. ("NCS")
and Unitel, in 1997 and Division-Tel Communications Group, Inc. ("Division-Tel")
in 1998.


                                      10

     Income from continuing operations before income taxes increased by $162,000
to $365,000 in the first three months of 1998, an increase of 80% from $203,000
in the comparable 1997 period, primarily for the reasons stated above.

     The provision for income taxes increased by $65,000 to $146,000 in the
first three months of 1998, compared to $81,000 in the first three months of
1997, due to increased earnings.

     As a result of the foregoing, net income for the first three months of 1998
was $219,000, an increase of 80%, from the net income for the first three months
of 1997 of $121,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's principal capital requirements are to fund the internal 
growth of network service sales, a network services receivable (which is 
classified as a long-term accounts receivable), voice and date hardware 
sales, the infrastructure to support and monitor the increased sales volume, 
and new acquisitions.

     Net cash used in operating activities was $.4 million in the first three
months of 1998 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $.5 million
in the first three months of 1997.  The change was primarily due to a $.6
million increase in long term accounts receivable in the first three months of
1998, compared to a $.4 million increase in the first three months of 1997, an
increase of $.2 million in trade accounts receivable in the first three months
of 1998 compared to a $.4 million decrease in the comparable 1997 period, and a
$.3 million increase in inventory for the first three months of 1998 compared to
a $.1 million decrease in the comparable 1997 period.  These changes were offset
by an increase in accounts payable of $.5 million in the first quarter of 1998
compared to a decrease of $.2 million for the comparable 1997 period and
combined decreases of $.3 million in accrued bonuses and commissions for the
first three months of 1998 compared to $.4 million for the first three months of
1997.

     Net cash used in investing activities was $.1 million for the first quarter
of 1998 compared to $.4 million for the first quarter of 1997.  This decrease is
primarily attributable to the use of cash in the acquisitions of NCS and Long
Tel in the first quarter of 1997, while only $.1 was million used for the
purchase of equipment and $10,000 was used for the acquisition of Division-Tel
in February 1998. 

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $.6 million in the first
three months of 1998 compared to $.9 million in the first three months of 1997.
This fluctuation is primarily attributable to the proceeds of $.7 million short
term borrowings under the Company's line of credit in 1998, offset by a net
reduction of long term debt of $.1 million.  In the first quarter of 1997, cash
provided by financing activities consisted primarily of the collection of a note
receivable of $.4 million, proceeds of $.3 million of short term borrowings
under the Company's line of credit and a net increase in long term debt (due to
acquisitions) of $.1 million.

     The change in the commission payment structure by Ameritech, which was
implemented in June 1996, and Ameritech's continuing implementation of a new
billing and customer record system, continues to lengthen the collection period
of receivables, adversely affecting the Company's working capital and cash 
flow. Management believes cash flow will


                                      11

<PAGE>

continue to be similarly affected as long as the existing Ameritech commission 
structure remains.

     Because of the Company's recent increased emphasis on equipment sales and
related services, an increase in inventory and trade credit is expected.  Trade
credit arises from the willingness of the Company's creditors to grant payment
terms for inventory purchases. Although the Company has obtained favorable
payment terms on its trade credit from its vendors, there is no assurance that
the Company will be able to obtain such terms in the future.

     Approximately $100,000 unused borrowing availability exists under the
credit line of the Company's credit facility at March 31, 1998.  On April 22,
1998, the Company received a commitment letter from its primary lender to
increase the existing line of credit by $.5 million and to extend a term note 
of $1.0 million.  The Company has signed a 60 day promissory note to the primary
lender to provide $.5 million additional working capital until the credit
facility increase is in place.  There is no assurance that increase in the line
of credit will be finalized.  The Company believes that funds generated by
operations and the additional borrowings available under the increased credit
facility will be sufficient to meet working capital needs for the foreseeable
future.

     The Company may also seek to obtain additional sources of funding, 
including additional debt or equity financing, as the Company continues to 
grow. There is no assurance that the Company will obtain such additional 
funds or, that if obtained, such financing will be on terms favorable to the 
Company.
