SPECIALTY TELECONSTRUCTORS, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 1997 and 1996
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto at September 30, 1997
and for the three-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 are unaudited
and are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-QSB and
consequently do not include all disclosures normally required by generally
accepted accounting principles or those normally reflected in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto contained herein should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's
Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.
The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto at September 30, 1997
and for the three-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 reflect (i)
the acquisition of Novak & Lackey Construction Co., Inc., an Oklahoma
corporation ("Novak & Lackey") which was effected as of March 31, 1997 through a
merger between Novak & Lackey and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, of
which Novak & Lackey was the surviving corporation, and (i) the acquisition of
Microwave Tower Service, Inc., an Oregon corporation ("MTS") which was effected
as of June 30, 1997 through a merger between MTS and a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company, of which MTS was
6

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
the surviving corporation. The acquisitions of Novak & Lackey and MTS were
accounted for as poolings of interests. Accordingly, the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto at September 30, 1997 for the three-month periods
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 are presented as if the acquisitions of Novak
& Lackey and MTS had occurred at the beginning of all periods presented.
For financial reporting purposes, a pro forma provision for income taxes has
been reflected in the consolidated statements of earnings for the three-month
period ended September 30, 1996 to present taxes on the results of operations of
MTS for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996 on the basis that is
required upon their change in tax status from S Corporation to a C Corporation.
This amount, $205,000, is approximately equal to the required Federal and state
income tax provisions that would have been recorded if MTS had not elected S
Corporation status and was subject to and liable for Federal and state income
taxes as a C Corporation prior to its termination of S Corporation status. MTS
terminated its S Corporation status upon merging with a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company on June 30, 1997.
The financial information included herein reflects all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary to a fair presentation of the results for interim periods. The
results of operations for the three-month period ended September 30, 1997 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Note 2: Acquisition
As of October 7, 1997, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, purchased
substantially all the assets of Ellis Tower Co., Inc., a Florida corporation in
exchange for $449,404 in cash and the delivery of 120,848 newly issued shares of
common stock of the Company. The transaction was accounted for by the Company as
a purchase.
ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements contained in herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking
statements ("forward-looking statements") within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe
harbors created by those sections. In addition, such forward-looking statements
may be contained in filings made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, or press releases or oral statements made from time to time by or
with the approval of an authorized executive officer of the Company. Such
forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the best
judgment of the Company's management based upon current information and involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the
actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results,
to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks,
uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, those set forth
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1997 under the caption "ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- Cautionary Statements" and
elsewhere therein and appearing from time to time in filings made by the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These risks, uncertainties and
other factors should not be construed as exhaustive and the Company does not
undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update any forward-
looking statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or
circumstances after the date of such statements.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Results of Operations
For the Three-Month Periods Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
Revenues. The Company's revenues for the three-month period ended September 30,
1997, decreased approximately 9% to $12,799,956 from $14,036,517 for the same
three-month period in the prior year. Management believes the decrease in
revenues was due primarily to comparatively lower levels of wireless
infrastructure building and implementation activity in the U.S. during the
three-month period ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the same period last
year.
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three-month period ended September 30, 1997
increased approximately 2% to $2,517,253 from $2,474,714 for the same three-
month period in the prior year. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue
increased to 20% for the three-month period ended September 30, 1997 from 18%
for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996. Management believes the
increases in gross profit and in gross profit as a percentage of revenue
resulted primarily from improved operating margins realized by the Company's
wireless infrastructure building and implementation services business offset by
somewhat lower levels of wireless infrastructure component sales.
Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A) Expenses. SG&A expenses for the
three-month period ended September 30, 1997 decreased to $1,210,376 from
$1,358,756 for the same three-month period in the prior year. As a percentage
of revenues, SG&A expenses decreased from 10% for the three-month period ended
September 30, 1996 to 9% for the three-month period ended September 30, 1997.
This decrease resulted from the decrease in SG&A expenses as compared to the
same period a year ago and to operational efficiencies realized as a result of
the increase in the Company's revenues.
Net Earnings. Net earnings for the three-month period ended September 30, 1997
increased approximately 20% to $788,097 compared to $657,436 for the same three-
month period in the prior year. As a percentage of revenue, net earnings
increased to 6.2% from 4.7% in the prior year. The increases in net earnings and
in net earnings as a percentage of revenue resulted primarily from improved
operating margins realized by the Company's wireless infrastructure building and
implementation services business offset by somewhat lower levels of wireless
infrastructure component sales and certain non-recurring expenses incurred in
connection with the Company's recent acquisitions.

(a) Exhibits
27 Financial Data Schedule.
(b) Reports on Form 8-K
On July 15, 1997, the Company filed a Form 8-K and reported that
it had completed the acquisition of Microwave Tower Service, Inc., an
Oregon corporation ("MTS"), which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated as of June 30, 1997 among MTS, each of the stockholders listed
on Exhibit 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the Company and MTS
Acquisition, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. A copy of
the Agreement and Plan of Merger was filed as an Exhibit to the 8-K.
On July 30, 1997, the Company filed a Form 8-K and reported that
it had completed the acquisition of substantially all the assets of
Paramount Communication Systems, Inc., a New Jersey corporation
("Paramount") and waived a valuation condition establishing the
purchase price of the assets acquired. A copy of the Asset Purchase
Agreement dated as of May 28, 1997 among Paramount, Michael Moskowitz,
the sole shareholder of Paramount, Specialty Constructors, Inc. and
the Company was filed as an Exhibit to the 8-K.
On September 15, 1997, the Company filed a Form 8-K/A which
amended the 8-K filed on July 15, 1997 by including the audited
financial statements of Microwave Tower Service, Inc. at June 30, 1997
and 1996 for the fiscal years then ended and by incorporating by
reference to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1997, the Company's consolidated financial
statements at June 30, 1997 and 1996 and for the fiscal years then
ended which financial statements had been restated to reflect the MTS
merger as if such transaction had taken place at the beginning of all
periods presented, consistent with the accounting treatment for a
pooling-of-interests.
