                  WIRELESS CABLE OF ATLANTA, INC. & SUBSIDIARY
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
                                  (UNAUDITED)


1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION:


                 The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form
10-QSB.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have
been included.  The results of the operations for the nine month periods ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.

2.       DEFERRED TAX BENEFIT:

                 The deferred tax benefit increased by $200,000 during 1996.
The basis for deferring tax benefits is an excess of appreciated asset value
over the tax basis of the Company's net assets in an amount sufficient to
realize the deferred tax asset and projected future profitable operations.
Management forecasts that at a level of approximately 50,000 subscribers, the
current net operating loss carryforward could be utilized in one year.
Management anticipates that the 50,000 subscriber level will be attained before
the first net operating loss expires, in 2002.

3.       PREFERRED STOCK:

                 The Company has 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock
authorized.  At December 31, 1995, there were 21,900 shares of Preferred Stock
issued.  At September 30, 1996, there were 39,372 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock issued. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at
$11.00 per share.  The outstanding Series A Preferred Stock has not been
included in the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding as they
would be anti-dilutive.

4.       STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS:

                 In 1992, the shareholders approved the formation of a Stock
Option Plan for key employees to be implemented by the Board of Directors.
Under the approved terms of the plan, options to purchase shares of the
Company's common stock will be granted at a price not less than the fair market
value of the stock at the date of the grant.  Options may be exercised for a
five year period not to exceed 20% per year on a cumulative basis.  At
September 30, 1996, there were options granted to purchase an aggregate of
72,050 shares at prices ranging from $6.25 to $14.00 per share and there were
24,500 shares available for future grants under the plan.  These stock options
have not been included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding as
they would be anti-dilutive.

         The following table sets forth items from the Company's Statement of
Operations as percentages of net revenues for the nine months ended September
30:

                                                    ----                 ----
<S>                                                <C>                  <C>
Revenue                                              100%                 100%
Service costs                                      64.50                62.90
Selling, general and administrative expense         36.0                48.10
Depreciation and amortization                      22.90                20.60
</TABLE>


         The Company's revenue increased 7% to $2,643,745 in 1996.  This
increase was due to an increase in the number of subscribers from 8,500 to
9,100.

         Service costs for 1996 increased by 1.6% of revenue.  This increase
was due primarily to an increase in tower rental and channel lease costs due to
the addition of 16 new wireless channels during the fourth quarter of 1995.

         Selling, general and administrative expense decreased by 12.1% of
revenue.  This decrease was due to a reduction in marketing, selling and
administrative salaries and benefits due to the elimination of the advertising
sales department and single family home marketing costs.  The Company has
deferred single family home expansion to study the improvements associated with
digital signal transmission.

         Currently, most of the Company's subscribers result from contracts,
which typically have an initial term of ten years, with over 40 apartment
complexes.  Upon expiration of the initial term, these contracts automatically
convert to month to month contracts unless they are extended or canceled.
Capital costs related to these contracts are written off during the initial
term.  The Company continues to add new contracts and has not had a significant
amount of contracts canceled.  Any future contracts cancellations should not
have a material impact on operations since the Company is adding new contracts
and should not have a significant number of cancellations in any one year.

         The Company currently has agreements to provide a competitive lineup
of 38 channels of programming to its customers.  The lineup consists of 28
microwave delivered channels and 10 locally broadcast channels.

         On March 1, 1995, the Company executed an agreement with Applied Video
Technologies, Inc. for the purchase of $3,500,000 of convertible preferred
equity.  Under the terms of the agreement, $2,100,000 was invested in 1995 and
$1,400,000 in 1996.  In addition, $347,200 of preferred stock dividends were
paid in preferred stock in 1996.

         As soon as is practical, the Company plans to offer a digital package
with 70-100 channels.  A basic digital package will be priced comparable to the
price of the basic package of the Company's primary franchise cable competitor.
As with the franchise cable operator, the Company will offer premium channels,
pay-per view and other services at an additional charge to subscribers.  The
Company believes it will be able to provide a higher quality, comparably priced
product than similar franchise cable service packages.  These development plans
will require significant funds in addition to funds provided from operations.
The Company will have to secure these additional funds to cover the capital
needs of additional growth after 1996. The Company has entered into a letter of
intent with BellSouth Corporation for the acquisition by Bell South Corporation
of the outstanding stock of the Company.  If this transaction should fail to
close, it is anticipated that these additional funds will be available through
either the debt or equity market.
