ITEM 1. CHANGE IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT

On March 11, 1999,  and pursuant to the terms and  conditions of a written Stock
Acquisition  Agreement (the "Agreement"),  Go Call, Inc., a then  non-affiliated
publicly owned Delaware  corporation  ("GCI"),  acquired an aggregate of 652,973
issued and outstanding  shares of common stock,  $.01 par value per share of the
Registrant  (the "CSR Shares").  The CSR Shares were acquired from Dan J. Rubin,
Roy B. Rubin MD,  Money  Purchase  Pension  Plan and Daniel  Nourani,  the three
principal  shareholders  of the Registrant  (the "CSR  Shareholders")  solely in
exchange for the original  issuance and delivery to the CSR  Shareholders  of an
aggregate  of 4,570,811  theretofore  authorized  but  unissued  shares of GCI's
Common  Stock,  $.01 par value per share  (the "GCI  Shares").  The  transaction
between  GCI  and  the  CSR  Shareholders  is  hereinafter  referred  to as  the
"Acquisition".  As of March 11, 1999, the CSR Shares  represented  approximately
92% of the Registrant's  issued and outstanding  common stock  capitalization of
709,335  shares.  The  Agreement  contained the  customary  representations  and
warranties,  including  GCI's  investment  representations  concerning  the  CSR
Shares. In the Agreement,  the Registrant undertook,  within six months from the
closing of the  Acquisition,  to prepare and file a registration  statement with
the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  under the  Securities Act of 1933, as
amended,  registering  the CSR  Shares  for sale  from  time to time by GCI.  In
addition, the Registrant granted GCI customary "piggy back" registration rights.
The  Agreement  did not contain any voting  trust or any  similar  agreement  or
understanding  concerning  GCI's voting or other  disposition of the CSR Shares.
The Acquisition represented a change of control of the Registrant.

On April  19,  1999 and  pursuant  to the  terms  and  conditions  of a  written
Agreement  and  Plan of  Merger  between  GCI and the  Registrant  (the  "Merger
Agreement"),   GCI  agreed  to  acquire  the  remaining  56,362  shares  of  the
Registrant's  Common  Stock  from  the  individual   shareholders  thereof(  the
"Remaining  CSR  Shares")  solely  in  exchange  for  an  aggregate  of  394,534
theretofore authorized but unissued shares of GCI's Common Stock, $.01 par value
per share shares (the "GCI Merger Shares"). The acquisition of the Remaining CSR
Shares for the GCI Merger Shares is hereinafter referred to as the "Merger".  In
the Merger  Agreement,  the Merger was made subject to: (i) the Merger Agreement
being  submitted  to the  stockholders  of the  Registrant  for the  purpose  of
considering  and acting  upon the Merger as  required  by  Delaware  law and the
settling  of  any  and  all  appraisal  rights  held  by  the  remaining  public
shareholders  of the  Registrant;  and (ii) the  holders  of not more  than four
percent (4%) of the outstanding  shares of the Registrant's  common stock (i.e.,
28,372 Remaining Shares) having asserted  dissenters' rights with respect to the
Merger under  applicable  Delaware law. The Merger  Agreement  provided that the
Merger  shall  become  effective  on the filing of the Merger  Agreement  in the
offices  of the  Secretary  of State of  Delaware,  and upon the  issuance  of a
certificate  of merger by the  Secretary  of State of Delaware  (the  "Effective
Date").

The Merger  Agreement also provided that on the Effective Date: (i) GCI shall be
the surviving corporation: (ii) the Articles of Incorporation,  By-laws, officer
and directors of GCI shall be the Articles of  Incorporation,  By-laws,  officer
and directors of the surviving corporation; (iii) the 652,973 CSR Shares held by
GCI  immediately  prior to the Effective  Date shall be canceled;  and (iv) If a
stockholder  of the  Registrant  shall be entitled to receive a  fractional  GCI
Merger Share pursuant to the Merger,  then such fractional share will be rounded
up to the nearest whole GCI Merger Share.

ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

GCI's  acquisition  of the CSR  Shares may be deemed to be an  acquisition  of a
material amount of the assets of the Registrant. Similarly, GCI's acquisition of
the Remaining CSR Shares may be deemed to be an acquisition of a material amount
of the assets of the Registrant.
