                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
             FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Reference is made to Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in
the Special Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 1995, which
describes the accounting policies of the Company for annual reporting purposes.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of
June 30, 1996 and the results of its operations and changes in its shareholders'
equity, and its cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and
June 30, 1995.

NOTE 2 - INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during each period. Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding
warrants and options are not included in the calculation since their inclusion
would be anti-dilutive.


Item 2.  MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net revenues for the second quarter of 1996 were $1,565,106, an increase of
$769,566 or 97% from the comparable quarter of the prior year. Net revenues
increased 81 percent to $2,937,546 for the six months ended June 30, 1996,
compared to $1,622,531 for the same period in 1995. This increase is primarily
due to higher sales of teleconferencing services, and additional revenue from
the Company's two new business units, ACT VideoConferencing, Inc. and ACT
Teleconferencing B.V. During the three months ended June 30, 1996, domestic
operations accounted for 53 percent of net revenues, compared to 45 percent for
the prior three month period. For the six months ending June 30, 1996, domestic
operations comprised 52 percent of net revenue, and 45 percent for the same
period in the prior year. Domestic net revenues continue to grow at a higher
rate than foreign net revenues. The difference in revenue growth for domestic
operations compared to foreign operations is primarily due to a new market
segment being developed by the United States business.

Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were $976,120, up 121%
from the cost of sales for the same period in 1995. Cost of sales increased 96
percent to $1,747,703 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to
$891,580 for the prior period, reflecting commensurate increases in sales of
teleconferencing services and equipment. This increase can be attributed to
development costs of a new market segment service, plus costs from the Company's
two new business units.

Marketing, general, and administrative expenses increased 117% to $760,413 for
the three months ending June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.
Marketing, general, and administrative expenses for the six months ended June
30, 1996 were $1,440,179, or 49 percent of revenue, compared to $661,757 or 41
percent of revenue, for the same period in 1995. This increase can be attributed
to expansion of sales and marketing activities, plus start-up expenses of the
Company's two new business units.

Loss before taxes and minority interest increased to $171,427 for the three
months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to income before taxes and minority
interest of $3,657 for the same period in the prior year. Loss before taxes and
minority interest was $250,336 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared
to income before taxes and minority interest of $69,194 for the same period in
1995. Loss before taxes and minority interest can be attributed to the start up
of ACT VideoConferencing, Inc. and ACT Teleconferencing B.V. These start-up
subsidiaries are expected to continue to incur losses during 1996.

Net (loss) income for the second quarter was $(202,761), or $(.07) per share,
compared to $(29,311), or $(.01) per share for the second quarter of the prior
year. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, net (loss) income was $(357,358),
or $(.13) per share, as compared to $(23,342), or $(.01) for the same period on
1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital at June 30, 1996 was $1,450,926, which represents a current
ratio of 2.1 to 1. This compares to working capital of $24,203 at December 31,
1995, a current ratio of 1.0 to 1. The Company believes that funds on hand are
sufficient to support its existing and planned operations for at least the next
twelve months. During the six months ended June 30, 1996, cash used in operating
activities was primarily to support an increase in accounts receivable. Cash
used from investing activities for this same period was primarily for additional
fixed assets and expanded bridging capacity as a result of increased revenues.
