NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
February 28, 1997
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
TW Communication Corp. (the "Company") is a distributor of wire, cable,
fiber optics and installation supplies predominantly to the
telecommunications, data and cable television industries primarily in
the United States.
Merchandise Inventory
Merchandise inventory is stated at the lower of cost (moving average
method) or market and consists substantially of finished goods.
Equipment and Leasehold Improvements
Equipment and leasehold improvements are carried at cost. Depreciation
and amortization are provided using straight-line and accelerated
methods based on the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue on the date the product is shipped to
the customer.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of costs in excess of fair value of net
assets acquired (amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of
forty years) and deferred financing costs (amortized over the
three-year term of the underlying credit agreement). On an ongoing
basis, management reviews the valuation and amortization of such costs.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be treated as an S Corporation under the
Internal Revenue Code and under New York State and other state' income
tax laws. Therefore, no provision is made for income taxes since all
earnings or losses are passed through directly to the stockholder. S
Corporations are permitted to retain their fiscal year by making an
election together with a "deposit" based upon adjusted income of the
preceding year. The federa fiscal year deposit at February 28, 1997
is $7,086.
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 revenue
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
February 28, 1997
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
Concentration of Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentration of credit risk consist principally of receivables.
Concentration of credit risk with respect to these receivables is
generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising
the Company's customer base and their dispersion across geographic
areas. The Company routinely addresses the financial strength of its
customers and, as a consequence, believes that its receivable credit
risk exposure is limited.
2. RECEIVABLES FROM RELATED PARTIES
As of February 28, 1997, the Company had a receivable of $798,204 from
a company owned by the Company's sole stockholder. The demand loan
bears interest at 8.50% per annum. Interest income amounted to $65,079
in fiscal 1997.
During fiscal 1997, the Company advanced funds to and charged for
expenditures incurred on behalf of an entity owed by the Company's sole
stockholder for an amount aggregating $1,766,439 through February 28,
1997. Such amount due from this related entity bears interest at 1/2%
over the prime rate per annum (8.75% at February 28, 1997) on which
interest approximating $18,500 accrued through February 28, 1997. The
related entity subsequently used a portion of such advanced funds to
acquire an interest in debentures and equity of a public company
operating its business and managing its affairs with relief under
Chapter XI of the Federal bankruptcy laws. On May 7, 1997, the related
entity entered into an agreement with such public company, subject to
Bankruptcy Court approval, to acquire the public company's distribution
business and all of its assets used in connection therewith. In turn,
the related entity will transfer its interest in the distribution
business together with the related assets acquired to the Company in
partial satisfaction of the receivable from such related entity. The
closing of this series of contemplated transactions is scheduled to
occur not later than ten days after approval by the Bankruptcy Court.

4. OFFICER'S LIFE INSURANCE
The Company is the owner and beneficiary of life insurance policies
with face values aggregating $1,800,000 on the life of its sole
stockholder (Note E).
In addition, the Company pays the premiums for two split-dollar life
insurance policies on the life of its sole stockholder. These policies,
in the amount of $1,500,000 each, are owned by the Company for the
benefit of the sole stockholder and his wife, except that the Company
is entitled to retain a portion of such life insurance proceeds to the
extent of premiums paid by the Company.
5. LONG-TERM DEBT
Notes Payable - Bank
The Company has an asset-based lending agreement (the "Agreement")
dated November 15, 1995 with a bank which expires in November 1998. The
Agreement, as amended on March 17, 1997, provides for maximum
borrowings of up to $13,500,000, which includes a temporary borrowing
limit increase of $1 million through June 14, 1997, is guaranteed by an
affiliate of the Company and by the Company's sole stockholder up to
$2.8 million of the outstanding loan amount, and is collateralized by
all of the Company's assets as well as the assignment of life insurance
policies on the life of the Company's sole stockholder in the amount of
$1 million (Note 4) and a mortgage on a building owned by an affiliate.

5. LONG-TERM DEBT, continued
The Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants which, among other
things, require the maintenance of certain financial ratios, including
minimum net worth and interest coverage, limitation on debt coverage
and profitability, as defined. Borrowings under the Agreement are based
on eligible accounts receivable and merchandise inventory, as defined,
and bear interest at 1/2% over the bank's prime rate (8.75% at February
28, 1997), unless the LIBOR option is exercised, up to specified
borrowing limits, in which the interest is at 2% over the bank's stated
LIBOR rate (7.54% at February 28, 1997). At February 28, 1997,
$3,800,000 of the outstanding loan amount was at the LIBOR-based rate.
Loan Payable
This equipment loan is payable to the Company's sole stockholder in
monthly installments with interest at 10% per annum through August
1998.
A summary of the Company's aggregate annual maturities of long-term
debt is as follows:

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company leases its corporate office and a warehouse/sales office

under noncancellable operating lease agreements. In addition to the
monthly base rentals aggregating $30,000 through 2000 and $18,000
through 2005, the Company is obligated for real estate taxes and
property insurance premiums relating to such lease agreements. During
fiscal 1997, the Company incurred $425,666, including $65,666 for real
estate taxes under these leases. Further, the Company is contingently

parties and required real estate taxes, during fiscal 1997 aggregated
$581,774.

Anicom, Inc., TW Communication Corporation and Other Acquisitions
Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
(Unaudited)
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information give effect, on
a purchase accounting basis, to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of
November 24, 1997 between Anicom, Inc., TWC Acquisition Corporation (hereinafter
referred to as "Anicom"), TW Communication Corporation ("TW"), Edward Goodstein
and Carl G. Palazzolo and certain other acquisitions completed by Anicom during
1996 and 1997.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet at September 30, 1997
assumes that the acquisition of TW occurred on September 30, 1997. The purchase
price consisted of $3 million in cash and 873,580 shares of Anicom's common
stock, $.001 par value per share. The source of cash used to fund the purchase
price was provided by working capital made available by the private placement of
2,900,000 shares of Anicom's common stock, $.001 par value per share, which
closed on December 4, 1997. As the TW acquisition and subsequent retirement of
TW bank debt was funded by the private placement of Anicom common stock, the
unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet at September 30, 1997
assumes that this offering occurred on September 30, 1997. The unaudited pro
forma condensed combined statements of income for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996 assume that the
acquisition of TW and the private placement of Anicom common stock occurred on
January 1, 1996.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations also assume
that Anicom's 1996 acquisitions of Northern Wire & Cable, Inc. ("Northern") and
Norfolk Wire & Electronics, Inc. ("Norfolk") and Anicom's 1997 acquisition of,
Energy Electric Cable, a division of Connectivity Products, Inc. ("Energy"),
occurred on January 1, 1996. As these acquisitions were substantially funded by
the November 1995 follow-on offering of 3,450,000 shares of common stock
(including 450,000 shares for the underwriters' overallotment) and the May 1997
issuance of 27,000 shares of convertible preferred stock, the unaudited pro
forma combined statements assume that these offerings occurred on January 1,
1996.
The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary assumptions of the
allocation of the purchase price and are subject to revision upon final
settlement of all purchase price adjustments and the completion of evaluations
and other studies of the fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities
assumed. Actual purchase accounting adjustments may differ from the pro forma
adjustments presented herein.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements are not necessarily
indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the transactions
described above had been effective since the assumed dates, nor are the
statements indicative of future combined financial position or earnings.
Anicom's future financial statements will reflect the acquisition of TW as of
December 1, 1997.
The pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Anicom as filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 1996 and Current Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997.

Anicom, Inc. and TW Communication Corporation
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Combined Balance Sheet
September 30, 1997
The unaudited balance sheets as of September 30, 1997 have been combined to
reflect the pro forma impact of the acquisition of TW by Anicom as if the
transaction had occurred on September 30, 1997.
The following is a summary of the adjustments reflected in the pro forma
condensed combined balance sheet:
A - Eliminate TW assets not acquired by Anicom.
B - The private placement of 2,900,000 shares of Anicom's common stock, $.001
par value per share, which closed on December 4, 1997 provided the funds for
the $3 million cash consideration paid for TW as well as the funds used to
retire TW's outstanding bank debt and the bank debt incurred by Anicom to
fund the July 1997 acquisition of Energy. This adjustment reflects the
private placement, net of related costs, as if it had occurred on September
30, 1997.
C - The purchase price, exclusive of related fees and expenses, of $16 million
