            for services as a director in stock options instead of cash pursuant
            to the Communications Central Inc. Stock Option Plan for Directors.

     DIRECTOR COMPENSATION     

    
            During fiscal 1996, all directors of the Company except Mr. Johnson
     were considered non-employee directors and received an annual retainer of
     $12,000, a fee of $3,000 for each day on which they attended a Board
     meeting in person and $500 for each committee or telephonic Board meeting
     participated in.  All directors are reimbursed for expenses incurred in
     connection with attendance at Board and committee meetings.  During fiscal
     1994, 1995 and 1996, the Company had implemented the Communications Central
     Inc. Stock Option Plan for Directors (the "Directors Plan") that permitted
     non-employee directors to elect to receive their annual director
     compensation in the form of cash or options to purchase shares of Common
     Stock of the Company at an exercise price equal to 50% of the current fair
     market value of a share.  The Directors Plan was terminated by the Board of
     Directors effective for fiscal year beginning July 1, 1996.     

    
     EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT     

    
            On November 6, 1995, Communications Central of Georgia, Inc.
     ("CCG"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into an
     Employment Agreement with Mr. Johnson pursuant to which Mr. Johnson serves
     as the President and Chief Executive Officer of CCG and the Company. The
     Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Johnson will serve for a period of
     two years, with automatic successive one year renewal periods thereafter
     unless the Employment Agreement is terminated by CCG or Mr. Johnson. Mr.
     Johnson receives a base salary of $228,000 per year, subject to periodic
     increases at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of
     Directors, and will be eligible to receive an annual bonus equal to a
     percentage of his base salary. The Employment Agreement may be terminated
     by CCG at any time for cause or for any reason upon 60 days prior written
     notice. Mr. Johnson may terminate the Employment Agreement at any time if
     his health should become seriously impaired or for any reason upon 60 days
     prior written notice.     

    
            In connection with the execution of the Employment Agreement
     described above, the Company entered into a Stock Option Agreement dated as
     of November 6, 1995 with Mr. Johnson pursuant to which Mr. Johnson was     
<PAGE>
 
     granted an option to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company's Common
     Stock at an exercise price of $6.50 per share. The option vested as to
     74,999 shares on November 6, 1996 and vests as to 225,001 shares in monthly
     increments beginning on December 1, 1996 and continuing through November 1,
     1999. The option vests as to the remaining 200,000 shares if the price of
     the Company's Common Stock reaches and maintains certain established target
     levels or on November 6, 2000 if Mr. Johnson is still employed by CCG. The
     option terminates on November 6, 2005 or, if earlier, three months after
     the termination of Mr. Johnson's employment, except in the case of his
     disability or death, in which cases the option terminates one year after
     Mr. Johnson's retirement from the Company or his death, respectively.     

    
     COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION     

    
          During fiscal 1996, the Compensation Committee did not include any
     member of the Board of Directors who at that time served as an officer or
     employee of the Company. During fiscal 1996, no executive officer of the
     Company served as a member of the board of directors of another entity, one
     of whose executive officers served on the Company's Board of Directors
     during that year.
