                  WIRELESS CABLE OF ATLANTA, INC. & SUBSIDIARY
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1997
                                   (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 three month periods ended March
31, 1997 and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.

2.       DEFERRED TAX BENEFIT:

                  The deferred tax benefit increased by $97,500 during 1997. 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. Although
realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that
all of the deferred tax asset will be realized.

3.       PREFERRED STOCK:

                  The Company has 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock
authorized. 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 March 31, 1997,
there were options granted to purchase an aggregate of 71,100 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.

Operations as percentages of net revenues for the three months ended March 31:

Service costs                                                         64.7           69.3

</TABLE>

         The Company's revenue increased 5% to $888,871 in 1997. This increase
was due to an increase in the number of subscribers from 8,600 to 9,000.

         Service costs for 1997 increased by 4.6% of revenue. This increase was
due to salaries and related costs of new personnel which were added in
engineering, customer service and technical staff.

         Selling, general and administrative expense increased by 4.9% of
revenue. The increase was due to professional fees related to the proposed
merger of the Company with a subsidiary of BellSouth Corporation.

GENERAL

         Currently, most of the Company's subscribers result from contracts,
which typically have an initial term of ten years, with 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 contract 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         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 January 1996.

         As soon as is practical, the Company plans to offer a digital package
with 100-150 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.

         On February 11, 1997, the Company entered into a definitive agreement
with BellSouth Corporation for a merger with BellSouth. Upon signing, BellSouth
made a $1,000,000 non-interest bearing advance to the Company which is repayable
on December 31, 1998. If this transaction should fail to close, it is
anticipated that additional funds for the Company's expansion plans will be
available through either the debt or equity market.
