PART I

Item 1. Business

General

Teletouch Communications, Inc. ("Teletouch" or the "Company") was incorporated
under the laws of the State of Delaware in July 1994 and is headquartered in
Tyler, Texas. Teletouch, or one of its several predecessors, has operated
paging, two-way mobile communications services, and telemessaging services in
East Texas for over 30 years. References to Teletouch or the Company as used
throughout this document means Teletouch Communications, Inc. or Teletouch
Communications, Inc. and its subsidiaries, as the context requires.

Teletouch provides paging and other telecommunications services in non-major
metropolitan areas and communities. Currently the Company provides services in
Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee
and Florida. The Company has 49 sales offices in eight of those states. Through
inter-carrier arrangements, Teletouch also provides nationwide and expanded
regional coverage.

Teletouch has experienced substantial internal and external growth in the past
few years. At May 31, 1999 the Company had approximately 394,200 pagers in
service as compared to approximately 349,700 and 321,100 at May 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively. For fiscal year 1999 the Company had total revenues of $51.1
million as compared to $45.2 million and $41.4 million in fiscal years 1998 and
1997, respectively. Pagers in service and total revenues from internal growth
both increased 13% in fiscal year 1999 as compared to a 9% growth rate in fiscal
year 1998.

Teletouch's overall business strategy is to continue growing in its existing
markets as well as to enter similar, adjacent markets by opening new sales
offices or acquiring other regional paging companies. The Company would consider
acquisitions of paging companies that cover larger metropolitan areas provided
that those companies also service markets that are strategically located near
the Company's existing markets. Teletouch believes its current markets continue
to offer significant growth potential for paging and other wireless services.
During the next two years, the Company intends to focus most of its expansion
efforts on opening new sales offices in targeted market areas already serviced
by its existing paging system and broadening its range of products sold. By
reducing overhead costs, expanding sales and marketing efforts, and focusing on
customer service, the Company believes that it can improve its operating margins
while achieving continued pager unit and revenue growth. Additionally, if the
opportunity to acquire other regional paging companies arises, the Company
believes it can achieve better operating results than those achieved by the
businesses separately by consolidating administrative functions, taking
advantage of economies of scale, and sharing common frequencies to offer
existing customers a wider area of paging coverage.

Paging Industry Background

In 1949 the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") allocated a group of
radio frequencies for use in providing one-way and two-way mobile communications
services, effectively creating the paging industry. Since then the paging
industry has been characterized by consolidation, substantial growth, and
technological change. In the early years, the paging industry was highly
fragmented, with a large number of small, local operators. Many of the firms
that entered the paging business during the first two decades of the industry
did so as a complement to their existing telephone answering service or two-way
radio communications sales and service businesses. The industry grew slowly as
the quality and reliability of equipment gradually improved and consumers began
to perceive the benefits of mobile communications. Further improvements in
equipment reliability and cost-effective technological innovations accelerated
the use of paging services in the 1970s.

Some of the paging industry's most significant technological developments
occurred in the 1980s. The digital display (numeric) pager was introduced and
quickly replaced tone and voice pagers as the most popular paging product. In
1982 the FCC allocated additional frequencies, which expanded coverage areas and
introduced competition into the market. More significant technological
developments have also occurred in the 1990s, including the advent of two-way
paging capabilities that do not require the use of traditional or cellular
telephones to return a page and cellular telephones that incorporate paging
capability.

Although the one-way paging industry's growth rate is difficult to determine
precisely, sources estimate that pagers in service have grown at an annual rate
of between 20% and 30% for much of the early 1990s. At the end of 1996,
approximately 42 million pagers were in service in the United States and
approximately 6 million net new subscribers were added during 1997, resulting in
a growth rate of a much lower 14%. As the industry continues to mature, these
growth rates are expected to decline further with the number of pagers in
service peaking as early as 2002. Factors contributing to the industry's growth
include: (i) the increased mobility of the general population; (ii) a continued
movement towards a service-based economy; (iii) an increased awareness of the
benefits of mobile communications; (iv) the relatively high costs of other
mobile communications services such as cellular telephone service; and (v)
technological advances in paging equipment and services. In addition to the
projected general industry growth, there is opportunity for Teletouch to gain
greater market share by offering quality products and services at competitive
prices with outstanding customer service.

Three types of carriers have emerged in the paging industry: (i) large,
national paging companies; (ii) regional carriers, including Teletouch, that
operate in regional markets in the U.S. that can also offer service outside of
their home regions through a network of interconnections between their own
systems, a national firm, and/or other regional providers; and (iii) small,
single market operators.

The Company's Products and Markets

Paging Operations

Teletouch's paging network provides a one-way communications link to its
subscribers within a specified coverage area. Each subscriber is assigned a
distinct telephone number or personal identification number that a caller dials
to activate the subscriber's pager. When one of the Company's paging terminals
receives a telephone call for a subscriber, a radio signal is transmitted to the
subscriber's pager that then causes the pager to emit a tone, a vibration, or a
voice signal to alert the subscriber. Depending on the type of pager used, the
subscriber may respond directly to the caller using information displayed on the
pager or by calling a designated location or voice mail system to retrieve the
message. The advantage of paging over conventional telephone service is that a
pager's reception is not restricted to a single location. The advantage over
cellular telephones is that pagers are smaller, have a longer battery life, and
are substantially less expensive to use. Some cellular subscribers use a pager
along with their cellular telephone to screen incoming calls and to lower the
expense of their cellular telephone service.

2
<PAGE>

Teletouch currently provides four basic types of paging services: numeric,
alphanumeric, tone-only, and tone-plus-voice. Subscribers carry a pocket-sized
radio receiver (a pager) that is preset to monitor a designated radio frequency
and is activated by radio signals emitted from a transmitter when a call is
received. Numeric pagers display a caller's message that may consist of an area
code and telephone number or up to 12 digits of other numeric information.
Alphanumeric pagers allow subscribers to receive and store messages consisting
of both numbers and letters. With tone-only service, the subscriber's pager
produces an audible "beep" or vibration when activated, and tone-plus-voice
service causes a subscriber's pager to beep and then play a brief voice message.
Subscribers may be paged using traditional or cellular telephones, computer
software, alpha entry devices, or over the Internet from the Company's web page.
Teletouch is licensed by the FCC to transmit numeric, alphanumeric, tone, and
voice messages to pagers it either sells or leases to customers.

Numeric and alphanumeric paging services have almost completely replaced
Teletouch's tone-only or tone-plus-voice services. Today over half of the
Company's pagers in service are numeric pagers. Alphanumeric pagers, which were
introduced in the mid-1980s, constitute a smaller but increasing percentage of
the Company's subscriber base.

Teletouch also offers its paging subscribers voice mail messaging and
Smartpager(R) services. When a subscriber uses voice mail in conjunction with
paging service and a caller leaves the subscriber a recorded message, the
subscriber is automatically paged. Voice mail employs sophisticated computer
technology that allows a subscriber to retrieve these digitally recorded voice
messages 24 hours a day from any location by accessing the voice mail system
using a touch-tone telephone. The Company's voice mail systems provide complete
message privacy, allow for personalized message greetings, and enable voice
messages to be sent to a large group of people simultaneously.

Teletouch's Smartpager(R) service allows individuals to send an alphanumeric
page to a subscriber without any special software or equipment. Subscribers are
assigned a toll free number to give to friends, family, and associates who can
then call and leave messages with a Teletouch operator. Operators, available 24
hours a day, immediately transmit these messages to subscribers.

Paging companies have traditionally distributed their services through direct
marketing and sales activities. In recent years, though, additional distribution
channels have evolved. These channels include (i) carrier-operated stores; (ii)
resellers, who purchase paging services on a wholesale basis from carriers and
resell those services on a retail basis to their own customers; (iii) agents who
solicit customers for carriers and are compensated on a commission basis; and
(iv) retail outlets that often sell a variety of merchandise, including pagers
and other telecommunications equipment. Historically, most paging subscribers
have been business users. However, pager use among retail consumers has
increased significantly in recent years. In addition, paging subscribers have
increasingly chosen to purchase rather than lease their pagers as equipment
costs have declined. The Company expects such trends to continue.

Teletouch's paging customers include various-sized companies with field sales
and service operations, individuals in occupations requiring substantial
mobility and the need to receive timely information, and a rapidly expanding
base of individual consumers who use pagers to stay in touch with friends and
family. Some of the Company's customers even use pagers rather than home
telephones as their primary means of communication. These customers respond to
pages using pay phones or the telephones of friends and family. Teletouch is not
dependent upon any single or small group of customers for a material part of its
overall business.

Teletouch's sales strategy is to concentrate on business accounts and on
individuals who value continuity, quality, and personal service. Historically,
the Company has leased pagers to a large percent of its business accounts. As
the price of pagers has dropped, the Company has begun increasingly to emphasize
pager sales over rentals. Teletouch offers its subscribers a high level of
technical support and

3
<PAGE>

provides a full range of dependable communications devices and services.

The Company now markets all its products and services under the Teletouch
name. In order to access the broadest possible market, the Company uses multiple
paging distribution channels. These channels include (i) Company-operated sales
offices, including mall and other shopping center locations, that sell pagers to
the consumer market; (ii) a direct sales staff that concentrates on business
accounts; (iii) resellers, who purchase pagers and paging services in bulk and
resell them to their own subscribers; and (iv) the resale of other paging
carriers' services when customers require coverage outside Teletouch coverage
areas.

Cellular Operations

In December 1998, Teletouch launched its own brand of prepaid cellular
telephone service, utilizing the resale of telecommunication service which it
buys at wholesale prices. The company also began to offer PCS cellular service,
as an agent for Sprint PCS, in several of its markets. At year-end the Company
was offering prepaid cellular service in 23 of its stores and Sprint PCS service
in 13 of its sales offices. Teletouch has also begun offering cellular products
and services through its direct sales and reseller channels. As with pagers, the
Company is focusing on selling rather than leasing its cellular products.

Teletouch began offering these cellular services as a convenience to existing
customers who wished to purchase cellular service in addition to paging service.
However, Teletouch focuses on other factors in addition to convenience in its
prepaid cellular strategy. The Company currently targets those customers who
wish to have cellular service and be able to better control their monthly
cellular telephone expense or who have difficulty getting credit approval with
traditional cellular companies.

Two-Way Radio Operations

Since 1963, Teletouch has been an authorized Motorola two-way radio dealer in
the East Texas area. The Company has locations in both Tyler and Longview and
services most of the law enforcement and public safety agencies as well as other
industries in a ten-county area. Teletouch is currently a member of Motorola's
Pinnacle Club, a group of 700 preferred Motorola dealers, and has recently been
ranked number 33 among that group.

Financial Information about Industry Segments

Teletouch operates in the wireless telecommunications industry, providing
paging and messaging, cellular, and two-way radio services to a diversified
customer base. As of and for the years ending May 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, the
Company had no foreign operations.

Teletouch's cellular and two-way radio operations represent less than 10%
individually and in the aggregate of revenue, operating income, and assets of
the Company.

Sources of System Equipment and Inventory

Teletouch does not manufacture its paging network equipment, including but not
limited to antennas, transmitters, and paging terminals, nor does it manufacture
any of the pagers, cellular telephones, or two-way radios it sells or leases.
This equipment is available for purchase from multiple sources, and the Company
anticipates that such equipment will continue to be available in the foreseeable
future, consistent with normal manufacturing and delivery lead times. Because of
the high degree of compatibility among different models of transmitters,
computers and other paging and voice mail equipment manufactured by its
suppliers, Teletouch's paging network is not dependent upon any single source of
such equipment. The Company currently purchases pagers and transmitters from
several competing sources and its paging terminals from Glenayre, a leading
manufacturer of mobile communications equipment. Cellular

4
<PAGE>

telephones used in the Company's prepaid cellular business are presently
available from a limited number of suppliers, but additional suppliers are
actively being sought. Two-way radios are also available from several sources.

Teletouch continually evaluates potential products to offer in its sales
offices since those offices primarily target the consumer market, and consumers
have consistently requested other telecommunication products in addition to
paging, voice mail, and cellular services. Services such as internet access,
long distance, and local telephone service are currently being investigated.
Teletouch plans to continue introducing new products and services to its
customers as viable ones are identified.

Competition

Competition for subscribers is based primarily on the price and quality of
services offered and the geographic area covered. Teletouch has one or more
direct competitors in all its markets, some of whom have greater financial
resources than Teletouch. The Company believes, however, that the price and
quality of its services and its geographic coverage areas within its markets
compare favorably with those of its competitors.

Although some competitors are small, privately owned companies serving only
one market area, others are subsidiaries or divisions of larger companies, such
as telephone companies, which provide paging and other telecommunications
services in multiple market areas. Among the Company's competitors are AirTouch
Paging, Arch Paging, Beepers Unlimited, Metrocall, Mobilemedia Communications,
Inc., and PageNet.

Companies offering wireless two-way communications services, including
cellular, PCS, and specialized mobile radio services ("SMR"), also compete to a
certain extent with Teletouch's paging services. Cellular and PCS service is
generally more expensive than paging services and where price is a consideration
or access to fixed wire communications (such as ordinary telephones) is
available, paging can compete successfully with or be an adjunct to cellular and
PCS systems. In addition, by offering its own cellular and PCS products and
services, Teletouch hopes to compete even more effectively with these other
providers. Future technological advances and associated regulatory changes in
the industry could also create new products and services that would either put
Teletouch at a competitive advantage or disadvantage with other companies.

Patents and Trademarks

In fiscal year 1999, Teletouch registered the trademark for its Smartpager(R)
service, a service that allows individuals to send an alphanumeric page to a
subscriber without any special software or equipment. The Company considers this
registered trademark to be beneficial and will consider registering trademarks
or servicemarks for future services it may provide.

Regulation

The FCC regulates Teletouch's paging operations under the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Communications Act") by granting the Company licenses
to use radio frequencies. These licenses also set forth the technical
parameters, such as location, maximum power, and antenna height, under which the
Company is permitted to use those frequencies.

In 1996, the FCC implemented rules that revised the classification of most
private-carrier paging licensees. Traditionally, the FCC has classified licenses
as either Radio Common Carrier licenses ("RCC") or Private Carrier Paging
("PCP") licenses. Now all licenses are classified either as Commercial Mobile
Radio Service ("CMRS") or Private Mobile Radio Service ("PMRS"). Carriers like
Teletouch and its competitors, who make service available to the public on a
for-profit basis through interconnections with

5
<PAGE>

the public switched telephone network, are classified as CMRS licensees. Until
recently, Teletouch's RCC licenses were subject to rate and entry regulations in
states that chose to impose tariff and certification obligations, whereas PCP
licenses were not subject to such regulations. As a result of Congressional
legislation, the state regulatory differences between RCCs and PCPs have been
eliminated.

The FCC has also adopted rules that license paging channels in the exclusive
UHF and VHF bands, as well as in the exclusive 929 and 931 MHz bands, on a
geographic area basis. These geographic area licenses are awarded through
auctions. The 929 and 931 MHz bands were auctioned in 1998 and lower bands will
be auctioned in the fourth quarter of 1999. Incumbent licensees, such as
Teletouch, will retain their exclusivity under the FCC's new rules. The Company
also operates paging systems utilizing shared, non-exclusive frequencies below
929 MHz. The FCC has indicated that these shared frequencies will not be subject
to these upcoming auctions.

The FCC grants radio licenses for varying terms of up to 10 years, and renewal
applications must be approved by the FCC. In the past, FCC renewal applications
have been more or less routinely granted. Although there can be no assurance the
FCC will approve or act upon Teletouch's future applications in a timely manner,
the Company believes that such applications will continue to be approved with
minimal difficulties.

Teletouch regularly applies to the FCC for authority to use additional
frequencies and to add additional transmitter sites to expand coverage on
existing frequencies. Under current FCC guidelines, the Company can expand its
coverage and add additional sites only on frequencies formerly classified as PCP
frequencies below 929 MHz. All other paging frequencies on which Teletouch holds
licenses are frozen in a status quo condition pending the final announcement and
implementation of geographic area licensing auctions. The Communications Act
also requires prior FCC approval for the Company's acquisitions of radio
licenses held by other companies, as well as transfers of controlling interests
of any entities that hold radio licenses. Although there can be no assurance the
FCC will approve or act upon Teletouch's future applications in a timely manner,
the Company knows of no reason to believe such applications would not be
approved or granted. The FCC has also determined that all major modification and
expansion applications will be subject to competitive bidding ("auction")
procedures. Teletouch cannot predict the impact of these procedures on its
licensing practices.

The Communications Act requires the FCC to limit foreign ownership of
licenses. These foreign ownership restrictions limit the percentage of company
stock that may be owned or voted, directly or indirectly, by aliens or their
representatives, a foreign government or its representatives, or a foreign
corporation. The FCC also has the authority to restrict the operation of
licensed radio facilities or to revoke or modify such licenses. The FCC may
adopt changes to its radio licensing rules at any time, subject to following
certain administrative procedures. The FCC may also impose fines for violations
of its rules. Under certain circumstances, Teletouch's license applications may
be deemed "mutually exclusive" with those of other paging companies, in which
case the FCC would select between the mutually exclusive applicants. The FCC has
previously used lottery procedures to select between mutually exclusive paging
applications; however, in response to a Congressional mandate, the FCC adopted
rules to grant mutually exclusive CMRS paging applications through the auction
process.

The FCC could change its rules or policies in a manner that could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business. Such actions could affect the
scope and manner of Teletouch's services, or could lead to increased competition
in the paging industry. Beginning in 1994, the FCC was ordered by Congress to
hold auctions to award licenses for new personal communications services. These
and other new mobile services could compete directly or indirectly with the
Company. In addition, from time to time, federal and state legislators propose
legislation that could affect the Company's business either beneficially or
adversely. Teletouch cannot predict the impact of such legislative actions on
its operations.

<PAGE>

The foregoing description of certain regulatory factors does not purport to be
a complete summary of all the present and proposed legislation and regulations
pertaining to the Company's operations.

Employees

At May 31, 1999, Teletouch employed approximately 350 people, of which almost
300 were full-time. Most of these individuals were in sales, operations support,
and clerical roles. The Company considers its relationships with its employees
to be satisfactory and is not a party to any collective bargaining agreement.

Item 2. Description of Property

Teletouch owns an office building and a transmitter site, along with the
broadcast tower on that site. In addition, the Company currently leases 57
retail and office locations in its market areas, including its executive offices
in Tyler, Texas. Teletouch also leases transmitter sites on commercial towers,
buildings, and other fixed structures in approximately 329 locations. The
Company's leases are for various terms and provide for monthly rental payments
at various rates. Teletouch is obligated to make total lease payments of
approximately $2.1 million under its office facility and tower site leases for
fiscal year 2000. See Note H in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company believes that its facilities are adequate for its current needs
and that it will be able to obtain additional space as needed at reasonable
cost.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Teletouch is party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course
of business. The Company believes there is no proceeding, either threatened or
pending, against it that could result in a material adverse effect on its
results of operations or financial condition.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 1999.

PART II

(1) EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and
amortization (and certain non-recurring income and expenses). EBITDA is a
standard measure of financial performance in the paging industry. However,
EBITDA is not a measure defined in generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP") and should not be construed as an alternative to operating income
or cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with
GAAP. EBITDA is, however, one of the primary financial measures by which
the Company's covenants are calculated under its debt agreements.

(2) In May 1999, Teletouch restructured certain administrative activities,
resulting in non-recurring costs that have been included in operating
expenses. The actual EBITDA shown above excludes the $275,000 of non-
recurring costs associated with the restructure, consisting primarily of
personnel severance and rent on leases for unoccupied space. EBITDA for
fiscal 1999 also excludes the gain on sale of assets.

(3) In May 1998, Teletouch and Premier Paging, Inc. ("Premier") reached a
settlement with regard to the termination of the proposed acquisition of
Premier. The actual EBITDA shown above excludes $837,000 of non-recurring
costs associated with this settlement. EBITDA for fiscal 1998 also excludes
the gain on sale of assets.

(4) In July 1996, Teletouch and ProNet, Inc. mutually agreed to terminate a
previously announced agreement to merge the Company with a subsidiary of
ProNet. The actual EBITDA shown above excludes $527,000 of non-recurring
costs associated with the ProNet agreement incurred in fiscal 1997.

<PAGE>

Overview

Teletouch is a leading provider of wireless telecommunications services,
primarily paging services, in non-major metropolitan areas and communities in
the southeast United States. As of May 31, 1999 the Company had approximately
394,200 pagers in service. The Company derives the majority of its revenues from
fixed, periodic fees, not dependent on usage, charged to subscribers for paging
services. As long as a subscriber remains on service, operating results benefit
from the recurring payments of the fixed, periodic fees without incurring
additional selling expenses or other fixed costs. Due to the growth from the
completion of the acquisitions discussed below, Teletouch's results of
operations for prior periods may not be indicative of future performance.

Acquisitions and Disposals

On December 31, 1997, Teletouch concluded its purchase of certain FCC
licenses from GTE for consideration of $0.9 million. Total purchase price was
$1.0 million.

During the first nine months of fiscal year 1997, Teletouch completed the
acquisition of all the stock of Russell's Communications, Inc., d.b.a. laPageco
and AACS Communications, Inc. for cash consideration of approximately $2.3
million and $1.9 million, respectively. The Company also acquired substantially
all the assets of Warren Communications, Inc. for cash consideration of
approximately $5.1 million, Dave Fant Company, d.b.a. Oklahoma Radio Systems for
cash consideration of approximately $2.1 million and Cimarron Towers Inc. for
cash consideration of approximately $0.4 million. Additional consideration for
the assets of Cimarron Towers, Inc. was calculated at $1.4 million based on
actual performance for the four-month period from September 1996 through
December 1996. This additional consideration was paid over a six-month period
that began March 1997. Teletouch used the available capacity under its then
existing Credit Facility (discussed below under "Financial Condition") to pay
for these acquisitions. All these acquisitions made during the first nine months
of fiscal year 1997 are referred to collectively as "the Fiscal Year 1997
Acquisitions". The pro forma effects of these acquisitions on the Company's
operations were not significant.

Each of the Fiscal Year 1997 acquisitions was accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting. For financial accounting purposes, the total purchase
price for these acquisitions was allocated as follows: approximately $0.8
million to property, plant and equipment; $0.2 million to accounts receivable;
$0.1 million to inventory and other assets; $4.8 million to FCC Licenses; $4.2
million to subscriber bases; $0.4 million to non-compete agreements, and the
remaining amount to goodwill.

On January 28, 1998, Teletouch sold substantially all of its communications
towers for approximately $8.7 million. The proceeds from the sale were used to
reduce the outstanding debt under the Credit Facility. Concurrent with the sale,
the Company leased space on the towers sold for a period of ten years for
approximately $.6 million per year. Teletouch recognized a $4.1 million gain
related to the sale of the towers in fiscal 1998 and deferred the remaining $4.0
million gain, which is being amortized into income over the period of the lease.

Results of Operations for the fiscal years ended May 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997

Total revenue: Teletouch's total revenue increased to $51.1 million in fiscal
-------------
year 1999 from $45.2 million and $41.4 million in fiscal years 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The fiscal year 1999 total revenue increase was a combination of
approximately $0.5 million in additional revenues from new cellular products,
$0.2 million in additional revenues from one-time two-way radio contracts, and
the remainder from an increase in pagers in service resulting from internal
growth. The fiscal year 1998 increase over fiscal 1997 was due primarily to
greater market penetration and the addition of operating results from the Fiscal
Year 1997 Acquisitions for a full year. Pagers in service increased to 394,200
at May 31, 1999 as

10
<PAGE>

compared to 349,700 and 321,100 at May 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
Fiscal Year 1997 Acquisitions added 97,000 additional pagers during fiscal year
1997.

The positive impact on total revenue of the increase in pagers in service is
partially offset by the decline in average revenue per unit ("ARPU"). ARPU for
the year ended May 31, 1999 was $9.25 as compared to $9.33 and $10.02 for the
years ended May 31, 1998 and May 31, 1997, respectively. The decrease in ARPU is
primarily due to an increase in the percentage of the Company's subscriber base
represented by resellers as well as increased competition in the Company's
markets. Resellers are businesses that buy airtime at wholesale prices from
Teletouch and sell the service to end users. While the wholesale price to a
reseller is lower than the price the Company charges to its other customers, a
reseller bears the cost of acquiring, billing, collecting and servicing its
subscribers. At May 31, 1999 approximately 39% of the Company's subscriber base
was represented by resellers as opposed to 36% at May 31, 1998 and 37% at May
31, 1997. Prior to the Fiscal Year 1997 Acquisitions, resellers only accounted
for approximately 16% of the Company's subscriber base. Beginning with its March
1999 billing, Teletouch implemented a minor price increase for its basic paging
service in several of its markets. This increase was implemented throughout the
4th quarter of fiscal year 1999 until it was effective for all markets. The
price increase will have a positive impact on the Company's future ARPU, but as
competitors continue to pursue its customers in the marketplace and as the
percentage of its subscriber base represented by resellers increases, ARPU will
continue to decline. Nevertheless, Teletouch expects that the growth of paging
units in service and the introduction of new products and services will increase
sufficiently to offset any decline in ARPU and not result in a decrease in total
revenue.

Operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization: Operating
-----------------------------------------------------------
expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, were $27.9 million, 55% of
total revenue, for fiscal year 1999 as compared to $25.0 million, 55% of total
revenue, and $23.0 million, 56% of total revenue, for the fiscal years 1998 and
1997, respectively. Costs increased in fiscal 1999 over fiscal 1998 primarily
because of new retail store openings, tower lease expenses related to the sale
of previously owned towers, and the cost of a restructuring that occurred in May
1999, resulting in $0.3 million of non-recurring costs. Payroll expenses, sales
commissions, office and tower leases, and network costs represented the most
significant line item increases in fiscal 1999. Increased costs in fiscal 1998
over 1997 were primarily attributable to the inclusion of the Fiscal Year 1997
Acquisitions' operating results for an entire year in fiscal 1998. In addition,
for the year ended May 31, 1998, $0.8 million of non-recurring costs were
included in operating expenses related to costs incurred in connection with the
settlement of a lawsuit due to a terminated acquisition. Similar non-recurring
costs were $0.5 million in fiscal year 1997. Operating costs as a percentage of
total revenue have either decreased or remained flat as the Company's customer
base has grown sufficiently to generate revenues at rates that have absorbed the
increased costs.

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense
-----------------------------
increased to $14.8 million in fiscal year 1999 from $13.3 million and $13.2
million in fiscal years 1998 and 1997, respectively. Additional depreciation
recorded on returned lease pagers accounted for most of the increase in fiscal
1999 over 1998. Teletouch's emphasis on selling rather than leasing pagers
should stabilize this expense in the future. The increase in fiscal 1998 over
fiscal 1997 was due primarily to increased amortization of intangible assets
associated with the Fiscal Year 1997 Acquisitions, which were included in
results of operations for a full year in fiscal 1998, and to the acquisition of
additional tangible assets.

Interest expense: Net interest expense decreased to $7.8 million in fiscal
----------------
year 1999 from $8.5 million and $8.2 million in fiscal years 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The decrease in long-term debt under the Credit Agreement
(discussed below under "Financial Condition") combined with lower interest rates
were the primary factors contributing to lower interest costs. These factors,
however, were partially offset by increased amortization of financing costs
associated with the Credit Agreement.

Income tax benefit: At May 31, 1999 Teletouch had a net operating loss
------------------
carryforward of approximately $16.5 million that will begin to expire in fiscal
2012. For fiscal year 2000 the Company estimates that no

11
<PAGE>

tax benefit will be recorded. A valuation allowance has been recorded against
deferred tax assets that are not likely to be realized. Specifically, the
Company's carryforwards expire at specific future dates, and utilization of
certain carryforwards is limited to specific amounts each year. However, due to
the uncertain nature of their ultimate realization, Teletouch has established a
valuation allowance against these carryforward benefits and will recognize
benefits only as reassessment demonstrates they are realizable. Realization is
entirely dependent upon future earnings in specific tax jurisdictions. While the
need for this valuation allowance is subject to periodic review, if the
allowance is reduced, the tax benefit of the carryforwards will be recorded in
future operations as a reduction of the Company's income tax expense.

EBITDA: EBITDA increased to $15.5 million, 30% of total revenue ($15.2
------
million, 30% of total revenue, including the $0.3 million of costs associated
with the restructuring), in fiscal year 1999 as compared to $14.3 million, 32%
of total revenue ($13.5 million, 30% of total revenue, including the $0.8
million of costs associated with a terminated acquisition), in fiscal year 1998
and $12.4 million, 30% of total revenue ($11.9 million, 29% of total revenue,
including the $0.5 million of costs associated with the terminated ProNet
merger), in fiscal year 1997. As a percentage of total revenue, EBITDA did not
increase in fiscal 1999 because new retail store openings, increased tower lease
expenses due to the sale/leaseback transaction, and restructuring costs caused
expenses to grow slightly faster than revenues. In fiscal 2000, revenues from
the fiscal 1999 store openings should grow faster than expenses for those
locations. However, more new retail store openings in fiscal 2000 could once
again keep EBITDA from growing as a percentage of total revenue. The increase in
EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue in fiscal 1998 over fiscal 1997 was due
primarily to internal growth in the Company's existing markets.

Financial Condition

Due to improved operating results, Teletouch's cash balance was $5.8 million
at May 31, 1999 as compared to $4.6 million at May 31, 1998.

Cash provided by operating activities increased to $10.5 million in fiscal
year 1999 from $8.4 million and $6.9 million in fiscal years 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The Company expects that cash flow provided from operations will
be sufficient to fund its working capital needs in the near term. Teletouch may,
however, use funds available under the Credit Agreement (discussed below) to
fund future acquisitions, if any.

Teletouch's operations require capital investment to purchase inventory for
lease to customers and to acquire paging infrastructure equipment to support the
Company's growth. Net capital expenditures, including pagers, amounted to $7.6
million, $5.8 million and $5.8 million for fiscal 1999, 1998, and 1997,
respectively. The fiscal year 1999 increase over fiscal year 1998 was primarily
in leased pagers, the addition of new transmitter sites, and capital investments
in new retail stores. Teletouch anticipates capital expenditures will be flat in
fiscal 2000 as the Company continues to open new retail stores, improve its
infrastructure, and meet its subscribers' pager needs. Teletouch will pay for
these expenditures with cash generated from operations and, if necessary,
borrowings under the unused portion of the Credit Agreement (discussed below).

In January 1998, Teletouch amended its original agreement (the "Credit
Facility") with a group of lenders, led by Chase Manhattan Bank. The new
agreement (the "Credit Agreement") provides for loans in an amount not to exceed
$70 million, as opposed to the $95 million provided for in the original Credit

12
<PAGE>

Facility. As of May 31, 1999, $60 million of the Credit Agreement was funded,
and $10 million is available for future funding. To complete the Credit
Agreement, the Company paid approximately $0.5 million in amendment fees. These
fees have been deferred and are being amortized, using the effective interest
method, over the term of the existing loans.

The funding from the original Credit Facility was used to repay the FINOVA
Loan and to provide the financing necessary to complete the Fiscal Year 1997
Acquisitions (discussed in Note B in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements) and to provide additional working capital. As a result of the early
repayment of the FINOVA Loan, Teletouch paid a $1 million prepayment penalty to
FINOVA. The prepayment penalty of $1 million and unamortized deferred loan costs
associated with the FINOVA Loan of approximately $2.6 million were recorded as
an extraordinary expense item in the first quarter of fiscal year 1997. Direct
costs incurred in connection with obtaining the original Credit Facility of
approximately $3.6 million have been deferred and are being amortized, using the
effective interest rate method, over the term of the existing loans.

The Credit Agreement bears interest, at the Company's designation, at a
floating rate of the prime rate plus 1% to 2% or LIBOR plus 2% to 3%. These
rates vary depending on the leverage ratio of the Company. The Credit Agreement
is secured by substantially all of the assets of Teletouch and its subsidiaries.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement require the principal be repaid in
escalating quarterly installments beginning in August 2000 and ending in
November 2005. In conjunction with the funding from the original Credit Facility
and the Credit Agreement, the Company entered into an interest rate protection
agreement that protects $47.5 million of the commitments against future prime
rate or LIBOR rate increases above 9.5% for the period August 1998 through July
1999. Costs related to this agreement have been deferred and included with debt
issuance costs and are being amortized as additional interest expense over the
term of the agreement. For fiscal 1999, the weighted-average interest rate on
the Credit Agreement was 7.9%. The Credit Agreement also requires the
maintenance of specified financial and operating covenants, with which Teletouch
is in compliance at May 31, 1999, and prohibits any payments on the Junior
Subordinated Notes and the payment of dividends.

New Accounting Announcements

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement
establishes accounting and reporting guidelines for derivatives and requires an
establishment to record all derivatives as assets or liabilities on the balance
sheet at fair value. Additionally, this statement establishes accounting
treatment for three types of hedges: hedges of changes in the fair value of
assets, liabilities or firm commitments; hedges of the variable cash flows of
forecasted transactions; and hedges of foreign currency exposures of net
investments in foreign operations. Any derivative that qualifies as a hedge,
depending upon the nature of that hedge, will either be offset against the
change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments
through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged
item is recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 133 is effective for years beginning
after June 15, 2000. Teletouch is currently analyzing the implementation
requirements and does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will
have a material impact on its consolidated balance sheets, statements of
operations, or cash flows.

Impact of Year 2000

Teletouch has developed a Year 2000 compliance plan to address the issue of
software currently in use that may have time or date sensitivity that requires
correction. If not addressed, system failures or miscalculations could cause
disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability
to process transactions, prepare invoices, or engage in similar normal business
activities.

Teletouch has contacted its major vendors and received written confirmation of
Year 2000 compliance from them. These vendors provide the Company with software
programs that cover the transmission of

13
<PAGE>

paging signals, invoicing and retention of customer activity, and the reporting
of the Company's financial and accounting transactions.

All of these programs are covered under existing maintenance agreements, and
no significant costs have been incurred with respect to Year 2000 compliance
issues.

Although Teletouch has received assurances that it will be Year 2000 compliant
and expects no significant issues or expenses with respect to Year 2000, the
Company is continuing to review its product offering for potential problems.
Teletouch is also in the process of developing Year 2000 contingency plans in
the event of unforeseen circumstances.

Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The risk inherent in Teletouch's market risk sensitive instruments is the
potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates. The Company's
earnings are affected by changes in interest rates due to the impact those
changes have on its variable-rate debt obligations, which represented
approximately 79% of its total long-term obligations as of May 31, 1999. If
interest rates average one percent more in fiscal 2000 than they did during
fiscal 1999, the Company's interest expense would increase by approximately $0.6
million. The impact of an increase in interest rates was determined based on the
impact of the hypothetical change in interest rates on the Company's variable-
rate long-term obligations as of May 31, 1999. The preceding sensitivity
analysis does not, however, consider the effects that such changes in interest
rates may have on overall economic activity, nor does it consider additional
actions the Company may take to mitigate its exposure to such changes. Actual
results may differ from the above analysis.

TELETOUCH COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Teletouch Communications, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
(together, "Teletouch" or "the Company"). All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates: Preparing financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions. Those assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates
market, and include investments in financial instruments with maturities of
three months or less at the time of purchase.

Inventories: Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market using the
first-in, first-out method. The Company's inventories consist of pagers,
cellular telephones, prepaid cellular phone cards, two-way radios, and spare
parts held for sale.

Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment is recorded at
cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the
following estimated useful lives:

Pagers...................................... 3 years
Paging infrastructure....................... 5-20 years
Building and improvements................... 10-20 years
Other equipment............................. 5-10 years

Intangible Assets: Except for debt issue costs, Teletouch's intangible assets
are recorded at cost and are amortized, using the straight-line method, over the
following periods:

Goodwill 25 years
Subscriber bases 5 years
FCC licenses 25 years
Non-compete agreements 2-5 years

The Company defers costs incurred in obtaining debt and amortizes these costs
as additional interest expense over the term of the related debt using the
effective interest method. The carrying value of intangible assets is reviewed
if the facts and circumstances suggest that they may be permanently impaired. If
the review indicates that the intangible assets will not be recoverable, as
determined by the undiscounted cash flow method, the asset will be reduced to
its estimated recoverable value.

Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized as services are provided or the
product is delivered to customers. Billings for services in advance are deferred
and recognized as revenue as services are provided.

F-7
<PAGE>

Advertising Costs: All advertising costs related to advertising activities
begun during the fiscal year are expensed when incurred. Advertising costs were
$1.2 million, $0.7 million, and $0.8 million in fiscal 1999, 1998, and 1997,
respectively.

Loss Per Share: Loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number
of common shares outstanding during the period.

Sources of System Equipment and Inventory: Teletouch does not manufacture its
paging network equipment, including but not limited to antennas, transmitters,
and paging terminals, nor does it manufacture any of the pagers, cellular
telephones, or two-way radios it sells. This equipment is available for purchase
from multiple sources, and the Company anticipates that such equipment will
continue to be available in the foreseeable future, consistent with normal
manufacturing and delivery lead times. Because of the high degree of
compatibility among different models of transmitters, computers and other paging
and voice mail equipment manufactured by its suppliers, Teletouch's paging
network is not dependent upon any single source of such equipment. The Company
currently purchases pagers and transmitters from several competing sources and
its paging terminals from Glenayre, a leading manufacturer of mobile
communications equipment. Cellular telephones used in the Company's prepaid
cellular business are presently available from a limited number of suppliers,
but additional suppliers are actively being sought. Two-way radios are also
available from several sources.

Concentration of Credit Risk: Teletouch provides paging and other wireless
telecommunications services to a diversified customer base of businesses and
individual consumers, primarily in non-metropolitan areas and communities in the
southeast United States. As a result, no significant concentration of credit
risk exists. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers
to determine individual customer credit risks and promptly terminates services
for nonpayment. Credit losses have been within management's expectations.

Financial Instruments: With the exception of its Junior Subordinated Notes,
management believes that the carrying value of its financial instruments
approximates fair value. It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the
Junior Subordinated Notes given their unique characteristics and the complexity
involved in estimating their fair value.

Reclassification: Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior years'
financial statements to conform to the fiscal year 1999 presentation.

New Accounting Announcements: In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities." This statement establishes accounting and reporting guidelines for
derivatives and requires an establishment to record all derivatives as assets or
liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. Additionally, this statement
establishes accounting treatment for three types of hedges: hedges of changes in
the fair value of assets, liabilities or firm commitments; hedges of the
variable cash flows of forecasted transactions; and hedges of foreign currency
exposures of net investments in foreign operations. Any derivative that
qualifies as a hedge, depending upon the nature of that hedge, will either be
offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or
firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income
until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 133 is effective for
years beginning after June 15, 2000. Teletouch is currently analyzing the
implementation requirements and does not anticipate that the adoption of this
statement will have a material impact on its consolidated balance sheets,
statements of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE B - ACQUISITIONS

On December 31, 1997, Teletouch concluded its purchase of certain FCC licenses
from GTE with the payment of $0.9 million. Total purchase price was $1.0
million.

During the first nine months of fiscal 1997, Teletouch completed the
acquisition of all the stock of Russell's Communications, Inc., d.b.a. laPageco
and AACS Communications, Inc. for cash consideration of approximately $2.3
million and $1.9 million, respectively. The Company also acquired substantially
all the assets of Warren Communications, Inc. for cash consideration of
approximately $5.1 million, Dave Fant Company, d.b.a. Oklahoma Radio Systems for
cash consideration of approximately $2.1 million, and Cimarron Towers Inc. for
cash consideration of approximately $0.4 million. An additional $1.4 million was
paid for the assets of Cimarron Towers, Inc. based on actual performance for the
four-month period from September 1996 through December 1996. This additional
consideration was paid over a six-month period that began March 1997. Teletouch
used the available capacity under its then existing Credit Facility (discussed
in Note F) to fund these acquisitions. All these acquisitions made during the
first nine months of fiscal year 1997 are collectively referred to as "the
Fiscal Year 1997 Acquisitions".

NOTE C - SEGMENT INFORMATION

Teletouch's cellular and two-way radio operations represent less than 10%
individually and in the aggregate of revenue, operating income, and assets of
the Company.

NOTE D - CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, Teletouch deposited $500,000 into a
one-year certificate of deposit at a Florida bank to support letters of credit
issued by one of the Company's cellular suppliers to its vendors. The Company
also loaned $500,000 to this same supplier. The loan is due in fiscal 2000, and
bears interest at 10%. Additionally, Teletouch deposited $225,000 into a one-
year certificate of deposit at a bank in Tennessee to support letters of credit
it has issued to paging suppliers.

NOTE E - PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment consisted of the following (in thousands):

1999 1998
--------- --------
Land.......................................... $ 49 $ 2
Leased pagers................................. 6,338 7,794

========= ========

Depreciation expense was $7.1 million, $5.6 million and $5.8 million in fiscal
1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.

NOTE F - LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt consisted of the following (in thousands):

1999 1998
--------- --------
Notes payable................................. $ 60,000 $ 61,000
Junior subordinated notes..................... 15,944 13,487
--------- --------
$ 75,944 $ 74,487
========= ========

Notes Payable: In January 1998, Teletouch amended its original agreement (the
"Credit Facility") with a group of lenders, led by Chase Manhattan Bank. The new
agreement (the "Credit Agreement") provides for loans in an amount not to exceed
$70 million, as opposed to the $95 million provided for in the original Credit
Facility. As of May 31, 1999, $60 million of the Credit Agreement was funded,
and $10 million is available for future funding. To complete the Credit
Agreement, the Company paid approximately $0.5 million in amendment fees. These
fees have been deferred and are being amortized, using the effective interest
method, over the term of the existing loans.

The funding from the original Credit Facility was used to repay the FINOVA
Loan and to provide the financing necessary to complete the Fiscal Year 1997
Acquisitions (discussed in Note B) and to provide additional working capital. As
a result of the early repayment of the FINOVA Loan, Teletouch paid a $1 million
prepayment penalty to FINOVA. The prepayment penalty of $1 million and
unamortized deferred loan costs associated with the FINOVA Loan of approximately
$2.6 million were recorded as an extraordinary expense item in the first quarter
of fiscal year 1997. Direct costs incurred in connection with obtaining the
original Credit Facility of approximately $3.6 million have been deferred and
are being amortized, using the effective interest rate method, over the term of
the existing loans.

The Credit Agreement bears interest, at the Company's designation, at a
floating rate of the prime rate plus 1% to 2% or LIBOR plus 2% to 3%. These
rates vary depending on the leverage ratio of the Company. The Credit Agreement
is secured by substantially all of the assets of Teletouch and its subsidiaries.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement require the principal be repaid in
escalating quarterly installments beginning in August 2000 and ending in
November 2005. In conjunction with the funding from the original Credit Facility
and the Credit Agreement, the Company entered into an interest rate protection
agreement that protects $47.5 million of the commitments against future prime
rate or LIBOR rate increases above 9.5% for the period August 1998 through July
1999. Costs related to this agreement have been deferred and included with debt
issuance costs and are being amortized as additional interest expense over the
term of the agreement. For fiscal 1999, the weighted-average interest rate on
the Credit Agreement was 7.9%. The Credit Agreement also requires the
maintenance of specified financial and operating covenants, with which the
Company is in compliance, and prohibits any payments on the Junior Subordinated
Notes and the payment of dividends.

Junior Subordinated Notes: In August 1995, in connection with the acquisition
of Dial-A-Page, Inc., Teletouch borrowed $10 million of 14% Junior Subordinated
Notes ("the Subordinated Notes") due in August 2003 from Continental Illinois
Venture Corporation ("CIVC") and certain other parties both related and
unrelated to CIVC (together with CIVC, the "CIVC Investors"). The Subordinated
Notes were initially recorded, for financial reporting purposes, at
approximately $8 million. The terms of the Subordinated Notes require the
maintenance of certain financial and operating covenants and restrict future
acquisitions. The effective interest rate on the Subordinated Notes during
fiscal 1999 was

F-10
<PAGE>

17.2%. Also included in the note balance was accrued interest of $7.0 million
and $4.8 million at May 31, 1999 and May 31, 1998, respectively. See Note I
below.

Maturities: Maturities of debt outstanding at May 31, 1999 are as follows:
2000 - $0 million; 2001 - $6.5 million; 2002 - $8.0 million; 2003 - $9.5
million; 2004 - $20.9 million.

Interest: Cash paid for interest during 1999, 1998, and 1997 was approximately
$5.3 million, $6.5 million, and $5.6 million, respectively.

NOTE G - INCOME TAXES

Teletouch uses the liability method to account for income taxes. Under this
method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates that are expected to be
in effect when the differences reverse.

The Company made no cash payments for federal income taxes in fiscal 1999 and
paid $85,000 and $0 in fiscal 1998 and 1997, respectively. Teletouch currently
has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $16.5 million that is
available to reduce future taxable income and will expire beginning in fiscal
2012.

The Company's carryforwards expire at specific future dates and utilization of
certain carryforwards is limited to specific amounts each year. However, due to
the uncertain nature of their ultimate realization, the Company has established
a valuation allowance against these carryforward benefits and will recognize
benefits only as reassessment demonstrates they are realizable. Realization is
entirely dependent upon future earnings in specific tax jurisdictions. While the
need for this valuation allowance is subject to periodic review, if the
allowance is reduced, the tax benefits of the carryforwards will be recorded in
future operations as a reduction of the Company's income tax expense.

assets as of May 31, 1999 and 1998 follow (in thousands):

Teletouch leases buildings, transmission towers, and equipment under non-
cancelable operating leases. These leases contain various renewal terms and
restrictions as to use of the property, and some leases have built-in escalation
clauses. Rent expense was $2,850, $2,531, and $2,104 in 1999, 1998, and 1997,

NOTE I - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

On June 25, 1998, the Company effected a two-for-three reverse stock split of
its common shares distributable to shareholders of record as of May 11, 1998.
The Company's shareholders received two shares of stock and cash resulting from
any fractional shares in exchange for each three previously outstanding shares.
All outstanding shares have been adjusted and per share amounts have been
adjusted for all periods presented as a result of the two-for-three reverse
split.

Capital Structure: Teletouch's authorized capital structure allows for the
issuance of 25,000,000 shares of common stock with a $0.001 par value and
5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a $0.001 par value.

F-12
<PAGE>

The Company issued 1,533,333 Class A Warrants in connection with its initial
public offering. Each Class A Warrant carries the right to purchase a share of
common stock for $6.75 and may be redeemed by the Company at $0.15 per warrant
if the closing bid price of the common stock has been at least $8.44 for 15
consecutive trading days. As of May 31, 1999, all 1,533,333 Class A Warrants
remained outstanding. The Company also issued to certain Underwriters, for
nominal consideration, the Underwriters' Warrants to purchase an aggregate of
133,333 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $8.40 per share and
warrants to purchase, at a price of $0.15 per warrant, 133,333 warrants. Each
warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock on the same
terms and conditions as the Class A Warrants, except that the exercise price
shall be $9.45 per share. The Underwriters' Warrants are exercisable through
December 1999. In addition, Teletouch issued to certain consultants the
Consultant Warrants to purchase 262,666 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $0.75 per share. The Consultant Warrants expire in January 2004.

In connection with the acquisition of Dial-A-Page, Inc. (see Note F),
Teletouch designated 15,000 shares of authorized preferred stock as "Series A
14% Cumulative Preferred Stock" (the "Series A Preferred Stock") and 411,457
shares as "Series B Preferred Stock". The CIVC Investors purchased the 15,000
shares, with an initial liquidation value of $15 million ($25.5 million at May
31, 1999), of the Series A Preferred Stock as well as the Subordinated Notes
(see Note F). Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock accrue at the rate of
14% per annum. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock, as well as dividends in
arrears, are convertible after August 3, 2003 into common stock, at the option
of the Series A Preferred Shareholder, based on a stated formula. As of May 31,
1999, the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock would result in an estimated
issuance of 2.9 million shares of common stock (4.8 million shares of common
stock if dividends in arrears are paid "in kind") using the conversion price
stated in the agreement. However, the agreement states that the conversion price
will in no event be more than the market price of the Company's common stock.
Based on the closing market price of the Company's stock on May 31, 1999, the
conversion of Series A Preferred Stock would result in an estimated issuance of
10.9 million shares of common stock (18.5 million shares of common stock if
dividends in arrears are paid "in kind").

The CIVC Investors also received warrants, exercisable at a nominal price, to
purchase 3,377,301 shares of Teletouch common stock (the "Common Stock Purchase
Warrants") and 411,457 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the "Series B
Preferred Stock Purchase Warrants"). Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is
convertible into six shares of Common Stock. CIVC has the right to require that
its securities be registered for public sale two years after the conversion into
common stock.

As of May 31, 1999, holders have exercised an aggregate of 716,461 Common
Stock Purchase Warrants and 87,286 Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Warrants.
The Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock are non-voting
except as to the merger or consolidation with another entity or entities, or the
sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company.

As discussed in Note F, the Credit Agreement prohibits the payment of
dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. At May 31, 1999, approximately $10.5
million of dividends ($697.01 per share) were in arrears (or 1.9 million shares
of common stock if paid "in kind" using the conversion price stated in the
agreement and 7.6 million shares of common stock if paid "in kind" using the
closing market price of the Company's common stock on May 31, 1999, as
previously discussed). Dividends earned per share in fiscal year 1999, 1998, and
1997 were $221.66, $188.24 and $164.63, respectively.

Common stock reserved: Approximately 11.2 million shares of common stock are
reserved for future issuance at May 31, 1999, as follows (in thousands):

NOTE J - STOCK OPTIONS

Teletouch's 1994 Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Rights Plan (the "1994
Plan") was adopted in July 1994 and provides for the granting of incentive and
non-incentive stock options and stock appreciation rights to officers,
directors, employees and consultants to purchase not more than an aggregate of
1,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors administers the Plan and has authority to determine the optionees to
whom awards will be made, the terms of vesting and forfeiture, the amount of the
awards, and other terms. Under the terms of the Plan, the option price approved
by the Board of Directors shall not be less than the fair market value of the
common stock at date of grant.

Weighted-average remaining
contractual life........................... 5.2 years

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings/(loss) per share is
required by SFAS 123, and has been determined as if Teletouch had accounted for
its stock options under fair value method of that statement. The fair value for
these options was estimated at the date of grant using a binomial option pricing
model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 1999, 1998, and 1997,
respectively: risk-free interest rates of 5.75%, 6.25%, and 6.5%; dividend
yields of 0% for all years; volatility factors of the expected market price of
the Company's common stock of .63 in 1999, .53 in 1998, and .57 in 1997, and a
weighted-average expected life of the option of 2 to 5 years.

Binomial option valuation models are used in estimating the fair value of
traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In
addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective
assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because Teletouch's
stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded
options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially
affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do
not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock
options.

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options
is amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the options' vesting
period. The pro forma effects on net income for 1999, 1998, and 1997 are not
representative of the pro forma effect on net income in future years because
they do not take into consideration pro forma compensation expense related to
grants made prior to 1995. The Company's pro forma information follows (in
thousands, except per share information):

Under the terms of a contractual agreement, Teletouch has granted options to
acquire 50,000 shares of common stock, exercisable at a price of $9.00, to a
company that provided investor and public relations services. In addition,
options to acquire 66,666 shares of common stock, exercisable at a price of
$7.56, were granted to an officer of that company.

NOTE K - RETIREMENT PLAN

Effective October 1995, Teletouch began sponsoring a defined contribution
retirement plan covering substantially all of its employees. Employees who are
at least 21 years of age are eligible to participate. Eligible employees may
contribute up to a maximum of 16% of their earnings. The Company pays the
administrative fees of the plan and began matching 75% of the first 6% of
employees' contributions in October 1998. Contributions of approximately
$120,000 were made in fiscal 1999, and no contributions were made in fiscal
years 1998 or 1997.

NOTE L - SALE - LEASEBACK TRANSACTION

On January 28, 1998, Teletouch sold substantially all of its communications
towers for approximately $8.7 million. The proceeds from the sale were used to
reduce the outstanding debt under the Credit Facility (discussed in Note F).
Concurrent with the sale, the Company leased back space on the towers sold for a
period of ten years for approximately $.6 million per year. Teletouch recognized
a $4.1 million gain related to the sale of the towers in fiscal 1998 and
deferred the remaining $4.0 million gain, which is being amortized into income
over the period of the lease.
