ELECTRONICS COMMUNICATIONS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) Business Activity and Basis of Presentation
On February 1, 1994, Electronics Communications Corp. (the "Company")
changed its name from Genetic Breeding, Inc. to Internow Affiliates,
Inc. and then to Electronics Communications Corp. Effective on January
1, 1994, the Company acquired Free Trade Distributors, Inc. (which
engages in the wholesale distribution of cellular telephones and
related accessories and electronic automobile and office products) and
Trade Zone Distributors, Inc. (which engages in the activation of
cellular radio subscribers for commissions, both serving the New York
metropolitan area) in a business combination accounted for as a
reverse acquisition (the "Acquisition"). Accordingly, the historical
financial statements of Free Trade Distributors, Inc. and Trade Zone
Distributors, Inc. (the "Operating Entities" or "Acquirers") are
included in the consolidated statements of operations for the periods
prior to the Acquisition. The assets acquired and the liabilities
assumed were recorded at cost. Historical Stockholders' Equity of the
Operating Entities has been retroactively restated, as set forth in
Note 2, in that the number of shares of common stock received in the
Acquisition, after adjustment of the par value of the Company's and
the Acquirers' common stock with an offset to additional paid-in
capital. Retained earnings (deficiency) of the Acquirers were carried
forward.
In February 1995, the Company formed Electrocomm Wireless, Inc., a
Delaware corporation as a subsidiary, to become a radio paging and
two-way radio carrier in the New York City metropolitan area and the
State of New Jersey. On January 6, 1995, Electrocomm Wireless, Inc.
entered into a one year contract to utilize the transmission
facilities of an unaffiliated paging carrier to commence paging
operations. The agreement required a non-refundable one-time
connection fee of $20,000, a monthly per diem charge per radio paging
customer and the Company's pro rata share of monthly access charges.
The contract expired in January and was not renewed. The Company is in
the process of securing FCC licensing for paging, two-way radio
transmission and personal communication services.
In July 1995 the Company formed Personal Communications Network, Inc.
a Delaware corporation, as a wholly owned subsidiary to participate in
the Federal Communications Commission auction for licenses to engage
in personal communications services. The Company has posted a bid
deposit of $1,000,000. On May 8, 1996 the Company obtained six PCS
licenses entitling it to operate wireless PCS telephone systems
covering nearly 1.5 million people in three states.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
necessarily include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1996. The
unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's annual report on form 10-SB for the
year ended December 31, 1995.

ELECTRONICS COMMUNICATIONS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)
(B) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Electronics Communications Corp., subsequent to the Acquisition, and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Free Trade Distributors, Inc., Trade
Zone Distributors, Inc. (Trade Zone Distributors , Inc. has a wholly
owned subsidiary, Trade Zone Distributors, II, Inc. which is an
inactive, non-operating entity), Electrocomm Wireless, Inc. and
Personal Communications Network, Inc. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
(C) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided
using accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the
respective assets (5 to 7 years). Depreciation expense charged to
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 was
$10,939 and $8,008, respectively.
(D) Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, cost is
determined using the first in, first out method.
(E) Revenue Recognition
It is the Company's policy to categorize revenue into either sales
from electronic goods or commissions for fees earned on sales of
cellular radio service contracts. Sales from electronic goods includes
but is not limited to cellular phones and related accessories and
other electronic automobile and office products. Revenue from the
above mentioned products are recognized when they are shipped.
Revenues from sales of electronic goods represented 57% of the
Companies total revenue in 1995. Commissions are inclusive of fees
earned for the sale of cellular radio service contracts and residuals
received on those contracts. Revenues and related commissions from the
sale of the service contracts are recognized at the point of
activation. Revenues from residuals are realized when approved by the
cellular radio service supplier and are paid on customer usage for a
maximum of three years. Commission revenue represented 43% of the
Company's total revenue in 1995. The Company establishes a reserve of
3.5% for charge-backs on customers that prematurely terminate cellular
service. In addition to the commissions paid by the cellular radio
supplier, the Company receives co-op fees. Co-op fees are
reimbursements of expenditures that are approved by the cellular radio
supplier for advertising and promotion in connection with the sale of
cellular radio contracts.
(F) Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its major cash accounts in banks in the New York
and New Jersey Area. The total cash deposits are insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000 per account.
The Company currently receives all of its commission revenue from two
major cellular radio carriers. Although there are a limited number of
sources for this type of revenue, management believes that other
sources could provide similar commissions on comparable terms. A
change in carriers could cause a delay in activations and a loss of
sales which would affect operating results adversely.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)
(G) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
NOTE 2 - ACQUISITION, RECAPITALIZATION AND PUBLIC OFFERING
(A) As described in Note 1, the Company acquired all of the
outstanding common stock of the Operating Entities. For accounting
purposes the acquisition has been treated as a recapitalization of the
Operating Entities with the Operating Entities as the Acquirers
(reverse acquisition). The historical financial statements prior to
January 1, 1994 are those of the Operating Entities. As a result of
this transaction, historical additional paid-in capital of the
Operating Entities was retroactively reduced and common stock
increased by $58,804 for the par value of the 1,176,086 shares of
common stock received in the transaction. Prior to the acquisition,
Free Trade Distributors, Inc. had 200 shares outstanding at $75 par
value or $15,000 in common stock and $60,000 in additional paid-in
capital. The recapitalization of these shares resulted in a transfer
from common stock to additional paid-in capital of $15,000. In 1993,
Trade Zone Distributors, Inc. was capitalized and issued 200 shares of
$5 par value or $1,000 in common stock. The recapitalization of these
shares resulted in a transfer from common stock to additional paid-in
capital in the amount of $1,000. As a result of the reverse
acquisition, additional paid-in capital was also reduced by $13,354 on
January 1, 1994 (the effective date of the acquisition). This is
reflective of the excess liabilities assumed over the assets by the
Operating Entities. On January 1, 1994, the Company sold 340,000
shares of its common stock for $50,000. All references in the
financial statements and notes thereto to the number of shares
outstanding have been restated to reflect the 1 for 5 reverse common
stock split described below. Additionally, On May 25, 1995, 47,611
shares were issued to a shareholder who did not receive the proper
allocation when the company had its reverse common split in Note 2B.
(B) On May 12, 1995 the Company successfully completed a public
offering (the "Offering"). The Company sold 1,000,000 shares of Common
Stock and 2,000,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants at an initial
offering price of $5.00 per share and $.10 per Warrant. In order to
complete this transaction the Board approved a 1 for 5 reverse common
stock split, in order to reduce the authorized Common Stock from
42,000,000 shares to 8,400,000 shares and increase the par value of
the shares from $.01 to $.05. The Company also registered 1,000,000
shares of common stock owned by certain officers, directors and
stockholders. In addition, the Company granted the Underwriter an
option to purchase up to 100,000 shares of Common Stock and 200,000
Common Stock Purchase Warrants. On September 12, 1995 the Underwriter
exercised the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 300,000
warrants. All references in the financial statements to average number
of shares outstanding, per share amounts and stock option plan data
have been restated to reflect the reverse common stock split.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITION, RECAPITALIZATION AND PUBLIC OFFERING- (Continued)
(C) On January 16, 1996 the Company consummated a Private Placement
Offering of 69,460 shares of the Company's $.05 par value common stock
at a price of $2.25 per share. The total offering resulted in gross
proceeds of $156,218 of which $116,223 was advanced to the Company
prior to December 31, 1995. Each subscriber, in addition to the
shares, received demand registration rights, which require the Company
to file a Registration Statement upon request of 25% or more of the
shares sold in the offering at anytime during the 18 month period
commencing 30 days from the closing date. In March 1996, the
subscribers demanded that the Company file a Registration Statement
covering their shares. The Company at that time was unable to comply
with the request. In order to avoid a potential litigation for failing
to file a Registration Statement on a timely basis, the Company issued
a aggregate of 34,715 additional shares to the subscribers.
(D) On March 21, 1996, the Company entered into a letter of intent
with an investment banking firm (the "Placement Agent"). Pursuant to
which the Company will offer $6,000,000 principal amount of the
Company's Subordinated Convertible Debenture (the "Debenture"). The
principle amount of the Debentures shall be convertible into shares of
the Company's common stock at the option of the holder, immediately
upon issuance, at a price equivalent to 25% discount from the average
high closing bid price for five days prior to the conversion or $1.50,
whichever is less. The Debenture bears interest at the rate of 5% per
annum payable on April 1 of each year commencing April 1, 1997. The
Debentures are redeemable and callable for conversion under certain
circumstances. The Company has advanced to the Placement Agent a
placement fee equal to 10% of the gross proceeds, a 2% non-accountable
expense allowance and to issue 200,000 Warrants to purchases the
Company's common stock at $2.25 per share. The Company intends to use
the proceeds of this offering to increase its deposit in the PCS
auction, build out its paging system and general working capital
purposes. As of May 13, 1996 the Company has received $1,250,000 in
connection with this transaction.
NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts Receivable consist of amounts due for sales of electronic
goods and commissions due from major cellular radio suppliers.
Components of Accounts Receivable are $995,368 for the sale of
electronic goods and $316,660 for commissions at March 31, 1996 and
$1,503,303 and $782,473 at December 31, 1995.
NOTE 4 - OTHER ASSETS
(A) Deferred private placement costs consist of certain legal,
accounting, printing fees and other costs in connection with the
private placement described in Note 2D. Those costs, together with any
additional costs incurred in connection with the placement will be
recorded as a reduction of the proceeds to be received from the sale
of the securities offered.
(B) Deferred License Costs consists of various legal, consulting and
registration fees in connection with obtaining paging licenses,
two-way radio licenses and personal communication service licensing.
The licenses when put into service will be amortized over a fifteen
year period.

NOTE 5 - LOAN RECEIVABLE
As of December 31, 1995, the Company has loaned $550,000 to Threshold
Communications, Inc. ( "TCI" ). TCI is a recently formed corporation
engaged in the radio paging business, having acquired a paging
subscriber base, associated paging hardware, and a paging carrier
agreement with SkyTel(R), a company that provides nationwide paging,
voice messaging and related messaging services to subscribers and
others. TCI has informed the Company that it intends to engage in the
radio paging carrier business utilizing, among other assets, one or
more 900 megahertz FCC paging licenses for the New York-New Jersey
area, a long-term lease for a paging transmission site in New Jersey
which it currently owns, and a customer base of approximately 9,000
paging service subscribers. A principal stockholder of TCI is a
stockholder of the Company and is related to certain officers,
directors and principal stockholders of the Company.
On March 22, 1996, TCI has entered into an agreement to acquire
approximately 6,000 paging service subscribers and other related
assets. The Company has advanced and additional $175,000 in cash and
$389,000 in Common Stock to TCI and has guaranteed certain obligations
in the amount of $739,000 for TCI. As of the date hereof, the Company
has not entered into an agreement as to an acquisition or investment
in TCI.
On November 1, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement (the
"Agreement") with TCI which superseded a prior agreement between the
parties. Under the Agreement, in consideration of the aforesaid
advances and qaurantees , the Company obtained an exclusive option
from TCI to acquire or invest in TCI on terms to be mutually agreed
upon. The option agreement further provides that if, on or before
January 31, 1996, the acquisition of TCI by the Company or an
investment by the Company in TCI has not been consummated, the Company
may demand repayment of these advances. If such advances are not
repaid within ten business days of such demand, the Company, at its
option, may foreclose on 100% of the stock of TCI which has been
pledged as collateral for the advances. The Agreement recites that the
specific terms of any acquisition of or investment in TCI cannot be
determined at this time and that the Company is under no obligation to
complete any such transaction. Any such transaction will require the
approval of the Board of Directors of the Company and will be subject
to the entry into definitive written agreements.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to reach an
agreement with TCI as to an acquisition of or investment in TCI. If it
does, which cannot be deemed to be probable at this time, there can be
no assurance as to the terms of any such agreement. If the Company
obtains ownership of TCI, the Company will own the lease to the radio
paging transmission facility and the aforesaid subscriber base and
related assets which the Company intends to use in the conduct and
expansion of its business.
NOTE 6 - BID DEPOSIT
The Company had participated in a Federal Communications Commission
(the FCC) auction for Personal Communication Services licenses. The
FCC required an advance payment in the amount of $1,000,000 which is
fully refundable in the event the Company is not the highest bidder.
On May 8, 1996 the Company obtained six PCS licenses entitling it to
operate wireless PCS telephone systems covering nearly 1.5 million
people in three states.

NOTE 19 - STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company's Board of Directors adopted a Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan"), approved by stockholders, under which, options to purchase up
to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of Common Stock are available for
grants to officers, directors, consultants and key employees of the
Company. The Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options,
non-qualified stock options and Director's options. The Plan will

less than the option price therefore no compensation expense was
recognized in 1995.
NOTE 20 - PENDING LITIGATION
On March 4, 1996 the Company commenced an action entitled Electronics
Communications Corp. as Plaintiff against Toshiba America Consumer
Products, Inc. ("Toshiba") and Audiovox Corporation, case number 96
Civ. 1565 in United States District Court, Southern District of New
York. The complaint asserts claims for antitrust, breach of contract,
tortious interference with contract and tortious interference with
prospective economic advantage and business relations. The complaint
seeks damages in excess of $ 5,000,000. This action was commenced
because the Company expended significant monies and resources
including the issuance of 200,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
to a consultant in anticipation of South American cellular telephone
program which the Company was to undertake exclusively of behalf of
Toshiba. Immediately prior to the commencement of the program, Toshiba
discontinued manufacturing the line of cellular telephones that the
program was designed to offer. This unilateral decision has caused
significant damages to the Company and the Company will vigorously
prosecute this claim.

Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31,
1995
During the three months ended March 31, 1996 revenues from sales increased
$660,762 or 41.2% compared to the same period in 1995. Electronic equipment
sales increased $76,902, activation commissions and residual income increased
during the period by approximately $583,860 or approximately 83.9%. The small
increase in electronic equipment sales was consistent with the sales for the
same period in 1995. However, the Company sold a greater percentage of
communication equipment, versus home/office equipment in this quarter compared
to last year. The increase in commissions was due to increased activations of
cellular telephone numbers, as a direct result of an advertising campaign for
the Company's direct sales division and an increase in residuals as a result of
the Company's larger subscriber base with Bell Atlantic/Nynex Mobile.
Cost of electronic equipment sales increased $85,151 compared to the same
period in 1995, as a result of higher overall sales of electronic equipment.
Gross profit from electronics equipment sales decreased approximately 2.3% from
18.1% to 15.8% during the same period in 1996. The decrease in gross profit was
due to greater sales of communications equipment which the Company generally
sells at a lower gross profit margin. The Company does not rely on any one major
equipment supplier, however, during the quarter the Company purchased 100% of
its cellular phones from four suppliers, the loss of any one of them would have
a negative impact on the Company.
Cost of activation commissions and residual income increased $322,504
compared to the same period in 1995, due to an increase in revenues. The gross
profit percentage related to these sales increased approximately 12% from 18.5%
for the three months ended March 31, 1995 versus 30.5% for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 as a result of greater sales from the Company direct sales
division.
Selling expenses increased approximately $28,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995 due to increased
advertising and sales commissions paid during the same comparative periods.
General and administrative expenses increased approximately $210,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. This
increase is due to a larger number of employees, higher office and warehouse
rental payments and increased legal and accounting expenses compared to the same
period of the prior year.
2
<PAGE>
The Company had a net operating profit before other expenses and income
taxes of $25,019 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to a profit
of $10,314 for the three months ended March 31, 1995.
Interest expenses remained constant compared to the same period in 1995.
However, the Company did not experience any additional non-cash financing costs,
comparable to those incurred in 1995 as a result of the Company's Bridge
Financing completed in December 1994
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The operations of the Company's subsidiaries since inception in 1991 to
date have been funded principally from cash flow from operations, capital
investments and loans from officers, directors, principal stockholders and third
parties. Although the officers and directors of the Company have provided the
financial accommodations to the Company in the past, there can be no assurance
that they will continue to do so in the future. In addition, the Company has a
$100,000 revolving line of credit with a bank. This loan is personally
guaranteed by the Company's President and a cross corporate guaranty of Free
Trade and secured by the Company's inventory. As of March 31, 1996, there was an
outstanding balance under this loan of $60,000 with interest payable monthly at
the rate of 1.5% per annum in excess of the bank's fluctuating prime lending
rate. As of March 31, 1996, the interest rate was 10.5%. This loan was due and
payable on April 18, 1996, however, this loan has been temporarily extended by
the bank. The Company is currently negotiating with the bank to increase the
credit line and extend the maturity date of the loan.
On October 6, 1995 the Company entered into a lending arrangement with a
bank. In connection therewith, the Company can borrow up to $700,000 at an
interest rate of 3/4% above the bank's base loan rate. As of March 31, 1996, the
interest rate was 9.5%. The Company deposited a $700,000 three month certificate
of deposit with the bank as collateral for such loan. The certificate of deposit
earns 5% interest. The loan is also secured by certain officers' personal
guarantees, 245,000 shares of their stock and all of the assets of the Company.
On January 6, 1996 and then again on April 6, 1996 the bank extended the due
date 90 days. The note becomes due and payable on July 6, 1996.
On December 22, 1995, The Company entered into a lending arrangement with a
bank. In connection therewith, the Company borrowed $450,000 at an interest rate
of 1% above the bank's base lending rate, payable in ninety days. On March 31,
1996, the interest rate was 9.75%. The Company deposited a $400,000 three month
certificate of deposit with the bank as collateral for such loan. The
Certificates earns a 5% interest. The loan is also secured by certain officers'
and directors', personal guarantees and the Company's inventory. On March 22,
1996 the bank extended the due date 90 days. The note becomes due on June 22,
1996.
On March 31, 1996, the Company had working capital of $1,953,825, as
compared to a working capital of approximately $1,724,852 at December 31, 1995.
Included in the working
3
<PAGE>
capital is a $1,100,000 which has been deposited with the bank as collateral for
the above described loans.
The Bridge Financing, completed in December 1994, consisted of $800,000 of
12% promissory notes which were due the earlier of closing of a public offering
or November 1, 1995 and the issuance of Common Stock and A Warrants. The
proceeds of the Bridge Financing were used to pay certain costs associated with
the public offering; to collateralize a letter of credit to one of the Company's
vendor, to make an initial investment for the Company's paging operations and
contribute to working capital. On May 19, 1995 the Company completed a public
offering resulting in gross proceeds of $5,200,000 and approximate net proceeds
of $4,200,000. The Company devoted substantial resources including a portion of
the net proceeds of the public offering, after payment of the Bridge Financing
indebtedness, primarily to paging and two-way radio. The Company will need to
seek other forms of financing to build a PCS infrastructure.
As of March 31, 1996 the Company loaned $550,000 to Threshold
Communications, Inc. ("TCI"). TCI is engaged in the radio paging business. On
March 22, 1996 TCI acquired all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of
General Communications and Electronics, Inc. ("GCE"). In connection therewith,
the Company advanced an additional $175,000 to TCI and guaranteed certain
obligations of TCI in the amount of $739,000. As a result of the transaction
with GCE, TCI, in addition to a paging transmission site which it previously
owned, became a paging reseller. TCI offers paging service primarily through
various paging carriers in the New York metropolitan area. TCI offers national
paging service through a sales and distribution agreement with Skytel. Under
this agreement, TCI pursues regional and national accounts through its present
dealer network in the Paging Service Area. As of the date hereof TCI has
approximately a 9000 person subscriber base. TCI also has the necessary
infrastructure to operate a paging operation, including but not limited to a
full service technical shop and repair facility, engineering capability,
marketing and sales force, billing and collection systems and ancillary product
support capability for paging related products. The Company is currently
negotiating the acquisition of TCI, however, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to reach an agreement with TCI. If the Company does acquire
TCI, it will utilize TCI's infrastructure in the operations of its own paging
system. TCI has recently acquired a paging carrier agreement with Skytel, a
company that provides nationwide paging, voice messaging and related messaging
services to subscribers and others. In addition, TCI owns a 900 megahertz FCC
paging license in the Paging Service Area and hold a long-term lease for a
paging transmission site. A principal stockholder of TCI is a stockholder of the
Company.
On November 1, 1995 the Company acquired an exclusive option to purchase
TCI in consideration of the above mentioned loans. The option agreement further
provides that if, on or before January 31, 1996, the acquisition of TCI by the
Company or an investment in TCI is not consummated, the Company may demand
repayment of these advances. If the advances are not repaid within ten business
days of such demand, the Company, at its option, may foreclose on 100% of the
stock of TCI which was pledged as collateral for such advances. To date, the
Company has not made such a demand.

<PAGE>
On January 16, 1996 the Company consummated a Private Placement of 69,460
shares of its Common Stock $.05 par value at a price of $2.25 per share. The
total offering resulted in gross proceeds of $156,217.50. Each subscriber, in
addition to the shares received, demand registrations rights, which require the
Company to file a Registration Statement upon request of 25% or more of the
shares sold in the offering at anytime during the 18 month period commencing 30
days from the closing date. In March 1996, the subscribers demanded that the
Company file a Registration Statement covering their shares. The Company at that
time was unable to comply with the request. In order to avoid a potential
litigation for failing to file a Registration Statement on a timely basis, the
Company issued an aggregate of 34,715 additional shares to the subscribers.
In light of the fact that the Company did not raise sufficient monies in
the above described Private Placement and had significant capital restricted
because of its deposit with the FCC and its collateral with its bank , the
Company was compelled on February 29, 1996, to borrow $134,000 from another
unrelated corporation. Interest is payable at the rate of 10% in monthly
installments of $1,117 per month. As additional consideration, the Company
issued to the corporation 800,000 A Warrants with 90 day registration rights and
"piggy back" registration rights.
On March 21, 1996, the Company entered into a letter of intent with an
investment banking firm (the "Placement Agent") Pursuant to which the Company
will offer $6,000,000 principal amount of the Company's Subordinated Convertible
Debenture (the "Debenture"). The principal amount of the Debentures shall be
convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at the option of the
holder, immediately upon issuance at a price equivalent to 25% discount from the
average high closing bid price for five days prior to the conversion or $1.50,
whichever is less. The Debenture bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum
payable on April 1 of each year commencing April 1, 1997. The Debentures are
redeemable and callable for conversion under certain circumstances. The
Debentures are also secured by certain officers and directors personal
guarantees.
The Company has agreed to the Placement Agent a placement fee equal to 10%
of the gross proceeds, a 2% non-accountable expense allowance, issue 200,000
Warrants to purchase the Company's common stock at $2.25 per share, and issue
1,350,000 Class A Warrants. The Company intends to use the proceeds of this
offering to increase its deposit in the PCS auction, and general working capital
purposes. As of May 13, 1996 the Company has received gross proceeds from this
offering of $1,250,000.
On May 8, 1996, the Company won six PCS licenses. The total winning bids
amounted to $26,452,200, after the 25% discount provided to small businesses,
which the Company qualifies for, under the terms of the auction. The Company has
deposited $1,000,000 with the FCC and will pay an additional $1,645,220 or an
aggregate of 10% of the winning bids upon the grant of the license, which is
anticipated very shortly. The Company will use a portion of the proceeds of the
above described offering to pay the balance of the deposit.

<PAGE>
The Company is seeking additional financing in the form of equipment
leasing, debt or equity financing utilization of vendor financing and joint
venture partners for the purchase of PCS equipment and for build-out of
infrastructure. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available
to the Company or if available, available upon acceptable terms.
Impact of Inflation
The Company is subject to normal inflationary trends and anticipates that
any increased costs would be passed on to its customers.
