The acquisition of certain paging assets from SourceOne Wireless ("SourceOne")
is being accounted for under the principles of purchase accounting. Accordingly,
the related acquired assets and assumed liabilities have been adjusted to
estimated fair value in connection with this transaction.

Pro forma adjustments to the consolidated condensed balance sheet are as
follows:

(A)  The following represents the preliminary allocation of the purchase price
     over the historical net book values of the acquired assets and assumed
     liabilities of SourceOne at December 31, 1999, and is for illustrative pro
     forma purposes only. Actual fair values will be based on financial
     information as of January 31, 2000, the actual acquisition date. Assuming
     the transaction had occurred on December 31, 1999, the preliminary
     allocation would have been as follows:

     Assets acquired:

     The purchase price includes 15,000 shares of Aquis 7.5% redeemable
     preferred stock valued at $1,500 and cash paid to the sellers of $2,250.
     Aquis borrowed $2,450 from its lender to provide for the cash payment to
     the sellers and for payment of certain related legal and loan acquisition
     costs totaling $60 and $140, respectively. Also included in the cost to
     purchase these net assets are various professional fees and other costs to
     acquire these assets in accordance with purchase business acquisition
     accounting. The historical balance sheet of SourceOne at December 31, 1999
     has been reduced to estimated realizable value at that date in accordance
     with the value received by the sellers in conjunction with the related
     sales of these assets.

     This allocation is preliminary and may be subject to change upon the
     completion of the fair valuation of assets and liabilities acquired from
     SourceOne as of January 31, 2000, the actual acquisition date.

(B)  Following the closing of this purchase transaction, the escrow deposit of
     $200 paid by Aquis along with $205 held by certain senior creditors and
     SourceOne's available cash balances of $119 were used to make payments
     totaling $393 to various vendors of SourceOne, with remaining cash balances
     totaling $131 returned to Aquis.

(C)  Dividends on Aquis' 7.5% Redeemable Preferred Stock have been reflected in
     the accompanying Pro Forma Balance Sheet as a reduction of additional paid
     in capital. This cost has been reflected as an increase in the pro forma
     net loss attributed to common stockholders in computing the basic and
     dilutive net loss per common share in the Pro Forma Statement of
     Operations.

(D)  Certain revenues and related collection allowances earned or incurred by
     SourceOne during the year ended December 31, 1999 were attributable to
     assets not acquired by Aquis in this transaction and are accordingly
     eliminated for pro forma purposes.

           (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS)


(E)  Various expenses incurred by SourceOne during the year ended December 31,
     1999 were related to their operations and administration following the
     filing of their Chapter 11 Bankruptcy petition on April 29, 1999. Certain
     other costs and expenses were related to operations not acquired by Aquis.
     These items included operations in certain geographical paging regions
     outside SourceOne's core operations centered in the Midwestern U.S. Also
     included were interest and other costs of SourceOne's outstanding debt
     which was not assumed by Aquis and which totaled $7,567. In addition,
     eliminated costs included those related to SourceOne's administration
     during the Bankruptcy period that totaled $897. Finally, the restatement of
     SoucreOne's outstanding liabilities to estimated net settlement amounts has
     been adjusted for pro forma purposes. These amounts were written-down to
     amounts expected to be paid to creditors from the sales of SourceOne's
     assets. The write-down totaled $78,612 in 1999, and is reflected in
     SourceOne's results of operations for 1999.

(F)  Depreciation and amortization in the amount of $690 attributable to the
     paging network assets and FCC licenses acquired in this transaction has
     been provided, based on their estimated lives of 7 and 10 years,
     respectively, as well as their cost as based upon their estimated fair
     values as reflected herein.

(G)  In connection with the borrowings associated with this purchase, interest
     has been reflected for the year in the amount of $320 at a rate of 13%
     pursuant the terms of Aquis' senior loan facility. In addition,
     amortization of the deferred loan acquisition costs in the amount of $34
     has been provided for the year presented.

(H)  Other operating expenses included in the historical totals but not adjusted
     in the Pro Forma Statement of Operations include:

          o   Employment costs related to officers, managers and other staff
              terminated before the acquisition date,
          o   Certain SourceOne customer billing costs arising from software
              licensing that will be eliminated with the integration of this
              process into that of Aquis,
          o   Costs related to the operation and maintenance of certain
              administrative, distribution center and sales office facilities
              that were closed during 1999, and
          o   Banking and insurance costs in excess of those anticipated as a
              result of integration of those operations with those of Aquis,
              primarily related to the reduced scope of services required from
              SourceOne's principal bank as the cash collections are folded into
              existing processes.

     Had adjustments of these costs been made to the Pro Forma Statement of
     Operations for the year ended 1999, total expenses would have been reduced
     by $1,927, reducing the basic and dilutive net loss per common share by
     $0.12 to $0.95.
