Note 1:  Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto at December 31, 1996 and
for the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 are
unaudited and do not present all disclosures required under generally accepted
accounting principles but instead, as permitted by Securities and Exchange
Commission regulations, presume that users of the interim financial statements
have read or have access to the June 30, 1996 audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto contained in Specialty Teleconstructors Inc.'s
(the Company) annual report on Form l0-KSB incorporated by reference, and that
the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be
determined in that context.

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 six-month period ended December 31, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

As of October 30, 1996, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Specialty Teleconstructors,
Inc., purchased substantially all the assets of Data Cell Systems, Inc., an
Arizona corporation, in exchange for $160,000 in cash and the delivery of 93,405
shares of common stock of the Company.  The purchase price of the assets
acquired may be increased by an amount not to exceed $200,000 in the aggregate
if certain pre-tax earnings targets are achieved by the Company during the three
fiscal years immediately following the date of the acquisition and if certain
other conditions are met. The transaction was accounted for by the Company as a
purchase.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

For the Three-Month Periods Ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, Results of

1996, increased approximately 160% to $9,130,957 as compared to $3,507,256 for
the same three-month period in the prior year. The Company believes the increase
is related to growth in the Company's wireless infrastructure building and
implementation services business related primarily to an increase in the
installation of facilities related to new PCS systems.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three-month period ended December 31, 1996
increased approximately 75% to $1,580,069 as compared to $901,649 for the same

SG&A Expenses.  SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased from 10.5%
to 8.8% for the three-month period ended December 31, 1995 and 1996,
respectively. This decrease was a result of operational efficiencies realized
with the increase in revenues.

approximately 31% to $472,823 compared to $362,246 for the same three-month

SG&A Expenses.  SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased from 12.1%
to 9.5% for the six-month period ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
This decrease was a result of operational efficiencies realized with the
increase in revenues.
