          (With Independent Auditors' Report Thereon)






                        Exhibit 7(a)(1)
                Independent Auditors' Report


The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Control Resources Corporation:


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Control
Resources Corporation as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and
the related statements of operations and (accumulated
deficit) retained earnings, and cash flows for the years
then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibil
ity of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards.  Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Control Resources Corporation as of December 31,
1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
As discussed in note 3 to the financial statements, the
Company has suffered losses from operations and has a net
stockholders' deficit at December 31, 1996 that raises
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern.  Management's plans in regard to those
matters are described in note 3.  The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

                 CONTROL RESOURCES CORPORATION

                 Notes to Financial Statements

                   December 31, 1996 and 1995



(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Control Resources Corporation (the Company) is a Delaware
     corporation, organized on February 19, 1975.  The Company
     designs, develops, manufactures and markets products and
     systems targeted to meet the needs of very large communi
     cation network operators.

     The significant accounting policies generally followed by
     the Company are summarized below.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents

     The Company considers all short-term investments with
     original maturities of three months or less to be cash
     equivalents.

     Inventories

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost
     is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

     Revenue and Cost Recognition

     Revenues related to long-term fixed price contracts, which
     provide for the design and manufacture of products, are
     recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of
     accounting for long-term contracts, measured by the cost-to-
     cost basis.  Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted
     contracts are made in the period in which such losses are
     determined.  Such provisions are included in accrued
     expenses.  Contract costs include all direct material and
     labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract
     performance such as indirect labor, supplies, repairs and
     depreciation costs.  Selling, general and administrative
     costs are charged to expense as incurred.  Selling, general
     and administrative costs for the year ended December 31,
     1995 include $104,267 of costs directly related to the
     Company's relocation to its new facility.

     Revenues recognized under the percentage-of-completion
     method were $2,786,299 and $7,702,401 for 1996 and 1995,
     respectively.  Costs of sales recognized under this method
     amounted to $2,095,577 and $4,458,368 in 1996 and 1995,
     respectively.

     Deferred revenue represents amounts billed or cash received
     in advance of services being performed or products being
     shipped.  Deferred revenue of $3,519,053 at December 31,
     1996 includes approximately $570,000 which had been received
     in cash and $2,949,000 which was included in accounts
     receivable.

     Property, Plant and Equipment

     Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.  The cost
     of repairs and maintenance is charged to operating expenses
     as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are
     capitalized.

     Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over
     the estimated useful lives of the assets.  The cost of
     leasehold improvements is amortized using the straight-line
     method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated
     useful life of the asset.

     The useful lives for purposes of computing depreciation and
     amortization are:


          Machinery, equipment and furniture
          and fixtures                  5-7 years
          Leasehold improvements        7-10 years
                                        ==========

     Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
     receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses
     approximate fair value because of the short maturity of
     these financial instruments.  The carrying amount of long-
     term debt and the note payable approximates fair value
     because of the variable interest rates associated with such
     debt.

     Income Taxes

     The asset and liability method prescribed by Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for
     Income Taxes," requires recognition of deferred tax assets
     and liabilities for the estimated future tax consequences
     attributable to differences between the financial statement
     carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
     their respective tax bases.  Under this method, deferred tax
     assets and liabilities are determined based on the dif
     ferences between the financial statement and tax bases of
     assets and liabilities using tax rates in effect for the
     year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

     Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
     generally accepted accounting principles requires the
     Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
     reported amounts of 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.

(2)  Research and Development Costs

     Company-sponsored research and development costs relating to
     both present and future products are expensed as incurred.
     Research and development costs relating to products
     developed under long-term contracts are charged to cost of
     sales upon recognition of related revenue.  The Company
     incurred total expenditures for research and development in
     1996 and 1995 of $3,498,048 and $2,828,460, respectively, of
     which $2,685,337 and $1,638,768, respectively, were provided
     by Company funds.  Under a long-term contract, the Company
     was reimbursed for costs amounting to $812,711 and
     $1,189,692 in 1996 and 1995, respectively, for research and
     development activities relating to products developed on
     behalf of customers.

(3)  Liquidity

     During 1996, the Company revised its business strategy and
     is transitioning from developing customer-specific products
     to standard, off-the-shelf products.  As a result, the
     Company has sustained significant operating losses in 1996
     and has a net stockholders' deficit at December 31, 1996,
     which raises doubt about its ability to continue as a going
     concern.  Continued existence will be dependent on the
     Company receiving additional financing and successfully
     marketing and selling its products and services.  The
     Company is currently negotiating a potential merger with P-
     COM, Inc., which is expected by management of the Company to
     be completed in the first half of 1997.  There is no
     assurance, however, that these efforts will be concluded
     successfully by the Company.  The financial statements do
     not include any adjustments that might result from the
     outcome of this uncertainty.

(4)  Accounts Receivable

     Included in the Company's total accounts receivable balances
     are amounts relating to the Company's long-term contracts as
     follows:

<TABLE>
                                                    1996            1995

    long-term contracts                       $   30,465      $1,142,642 
                                              ==========      ==========
</TABLE>

     Recoverable costs and accrued profit on progress of projects
     completed B unbilled represent amounts of revenue recognized
     on the Company's long-term contracts for which billings had
     not been presented to the customer, since such amounts were
     not billable pursuant to the contract terms at the
     respective balance sheet dates.

(5)  Inventories

     The components of inventories at December 31, 1996 and 1995

         Accrued payroll                      197,059           184,717
         Costs accrued on 
           uncompleted contracts                   --           151,215

</TABLE>


     Included in other accrued expenses is $110,774 and $50,274
     which was due to certain officers of the Company as of
     December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

(7)  Financing Arrangements

     The Company has a revolving demand credit facility (the
     Facility) with a bank which enables the Company to borrow up
     to $2,000,000.  The balance outstanding under the Facility
     was $1,612,000 and $0 as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
     respectively.  The Facility, which is subject to renewal in
     April 1997, is secured by substantially all the assets of
     the Company and is personally guaranteed by one of the major
     stockholders of the Company.  Interest is charged at 1%
     above the bank's prime rate, as defined (8.25% at December
     31, 1996).

     The note payable of $500,000 as of December 31, 1996 is a
     promissory note due to P-COM, Inc. issued for working
     capital in conjunction with the contemplated merger (see
     note 13).  The maturity date is the earlier of:  (a) upon
     completion of the Company's acquisition by another party,
     (b) the date that is 10 days after the sale of the Company's
     common stock with net proceeds to the Company of greater
     than $1,500,000, or (c) June 30, 1997.  There is no
     collateral nor guarantor of the loan.  The interest rate is
     prime plus 1% and accrued interest on the loan is due and
     payable in arrears on the maturity date.

     The Company's long-term debt as of December 31, 1996 and
     1995 consists of the following:

                                           ==========     ==========
</TABLE>


     The Company's term loans are with a bank and were secured to
     finance the renovation of the Company's present and former
     plant and office facilities (Renovation Loans) and to
     finance the purchase of certain equipment (Equipment Loans).
     The Renovation Loans are repayable over four to five years,
     are secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company's
     assets, and are personally guaranteed by one of the major
     stockholders of the Company.  Interest is charged at 1-1/2%
     above the bank's prime rate, as defined.  The Equipment
     Loans are repayable over three years, are secured by the
     purchased equipment, and are personally guaranteed by one of
     the major stockholders of the Company.  Interest is charged
     at 1-1/4% above the bank's prime rate, as defined.

     Principal loan repayments on the term loans during the
     forthcoming years are as follows: 1997 - $250,099; 1998 -
     $169,216; 1999 - $90,216.


(8)  Lease Commitments

     At December 31, 1996, the Company is obligated under
     operating leases for office space and equipment which expire

     Rental expense for operating leases during 1996 and 1995

     respectively.


(9)  Common Stock B Stock Options

     Pursuant to an incentive stock option purchase plan (the
     Plan), certain key employees have the option to purchase
     shares of the Company's common stock at $1.00 per share
     (fair market value on the date of grant as determined by the
     Board of Directors) during the years 1997 through 2006.  No
     options were exercised or forfeited under the Plan during
     either of the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, but
     there were additional options granted during 1996 to
     purchase 130,000 shares.  In addition, all incentive stock
     option agreements previously in effect were revised to
     reflect the option price of $1.00 and were extended until
     August 14, 2006.  As of December 31, 1996 and 1995 there
     were 327,500 and 197,500 shares under option, of which
     217,500 and 197,500 options are exercisable, respectively.

(10) Income Taxes

     The components of income tax (benefit) expense for the years
     ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 were as follows:

The significant components of deferred income tax expense
(benefit) for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995  were as
follows:

<TABLE>
                                                          1996           1995

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

</TABLE>


     The effective income tax rate differs from the statutory
     income tax rate of 34% for the years ended December 31, 1996
     and 1995, primarily due to changes in the amount of the
     valuation allowance.

     Tax credits for increasing research activities are accounted
     for as a reduction of income tax expense in the years they
     are available for use under the flow-through method.  The
     Company has approximately $594,000 of research and devel
     opment tax credit carryovers for both financial statement
     purposes and federal income tax purposes as of December 31,
     1996.  These credits may be used to reduce future income tax
     expense to an amount equivalent to the alternative minimum
     tax liability for the year(s) in which the credit is
     utilized.  These credits expire at various times through the
     year 2011.

     The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of
     December 31, 1996 was $2,933,627.  The net change in the
     total valuation allowance for the year ended December 31,
     1996 was an increase of $2,204,645.

     In 1996, the Company generated net operating losses for
     federal income tax purposes of approximately $4,753,000 of
     which $3,957,000 is available to carryforward to offset
     taxable income in future years.

(11) Concentrations of Credit Risk

     In 1996, two customers accounted for 42% and 32% of net
     sales.  In 1995, two customers accounted for 62% and 16% of
     net sales.  Most sales are made to large, well-established
     companies.  The Company does not believe that this
     concentration of sales and credit risk represents a material
     risk of loss with respect to its financial position as of
     December 31, 1996.


(12) Retirement Savings Plan

     The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement savings plan
     whereby 35% of each employee's contribution is matched up to
     a maximum of the lesser of 4% of the employee's annual base
     earnings or $400.  The Company's total contributions and
     administrative expenses relating to the plan amounted to
     $21,763 and $23,705 for the years ended December 31, 1996
     and 1995, respectively.

(13) Subsequent Events

     The Company is currently negotiating a potential merger with
     P-COM, Inc.  Management of the Company expects the merger to
     be completed in the first half of 1997.  In conjunction with
     the contemplated merger, the Company has entered into
     promissory notes with P-COM, Inc.  through January 10, 1997
     aggregating $1,500,000, of which $500,000 was advanced to
     the Company prior to December 31, 1996.  The maturity date
     of the notes is the earlier of:  (a) upon completion of the
     Company's acquisition by another party, (b) the date that is
     ten days after the sale of the Company's common stock with
     net proceeds to the Company of greater than $1,500,000, or
     (c) June 30, 1997.

     There is no collateral nor guarantor of the loans.  The
     interest rate is prime plus 1% and accrued interest on the
     loans shall be due and payable in arrears on the maturity
     date.

Unaudited Notes to Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Statements
- --------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   PERIODS PRESENTED

 The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statement of operations
for the year ended December 31, 1996 combines the results of
operations of P-Com with the results of operations of CSM and CRC
for the same period. The results of operation of P-Com reported in
its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (AForm 10-Q@) for the three month
period ended March 31, 1997 includes the results of operations of
CSM for the period from the date of the acquisition (March 7, 1997)
through March 31, 1997. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed
statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997
combines the results of operations of P-Com as reported in its Form
10-Q with the results of operations of CSM for the period from
January 1, 1997 through the day prior to the acquisition (March 6,
1997), and the results of operations of CRC for the three month
period ended March 31, 1997.

 The unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet as of
March 31, 1997 gives effect to the CRC merger as if it occurred on
March 31, 1997 and combines the balance sheets of P-Com and CRC as
of March 31, 1997.


2.   CSM ACQUISITION

 The total purchase price of CSM aggregates $22.0 million.  The
purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed based on the net book values for all other identifiable
tangible and intangible assets at the acquisition date.  The
allocation of the purchase price is as follows (in thousands):

4.   PRO FORMA NET INCOME PER SHARE

 The unaudited pro forma combined net income per share is based upon
the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares
of P-Com outstanding during each period presented, plus the number
of shares issued to consummate the acquisition of CSM and the
merger with CRC as if the acquisition and merger occurred at the
beginning of each period presented. Historical net income per share
for CSM is not presented and is not applicable as CSM historically
operated under a partnership structure.

5.   CONFORMING ADJUSTMENTS AND INTERCOMPANY TRANSACTIONS

 The adjustment for intercompany loan of $1.5 million between P-Com
and CRC has been reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined
condensed balance sheet.  Interest expense incurred by CRC was not
significant.  There were no material adjustments required to
conform the accounting policies of P-Com, CSM and CRC.

     Consent of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, Independent Accountants


The Board of Directors
Control Resources Corporation:

We consent to the inclusion of our report dated February 7, 1997,
with respect to the balance sheets of Control Resources
Corporation as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
statements of operations and (accumulated deficit) retained
earnings, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year
period ended December 31, 1996, which report appears in the Form
8-K of P-COM, Inc. dated June 13, 1997, as amended. The report 
of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP covering the December
31, 1996 and 1995 financial statements contains an explanatory
paragraph that states that CRC's 1996 losses from operations and
net stockholders' deficit raise substantial doubt about CRC's
ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of that uncertainty.

We also consent to the incorporation by reference in the
registration statements (No. 33-89908 and No. 333-07773) on Form
S-8 of P-COM, Inc. pertaining to the 1995 Stock Option/Stock
Issuance Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan of P-COM, Inc. of
our report dated February 7, 1997, with respect to the balance
sheets of Control Resources Corporation as of December 31, 1996
and 1995, and the related statements of operations and
(accumulated deficit) retained earnings, and cash flows for each
of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 1996,
which report appears in the Form 8-K of P-COM, Inc. dated June
13, 1997, as amended.
