                       ARVIG TELCOM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                                                              

    1.          The  consolidated financial  statements  included  herein have
                been prepared  by the Company, without  audit, pursuant to the
                rules  and   regulations  of   the  Securities   and  Exchange
                Commission.    Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures
                normally   included  in   financial  statements   prepared  in
                accordance  with generally accepted accounting principles have
                been  condensed   or  omitted  pursuant  to   such  rules  and
                regulations,  although   the   Company   believes   that   the
                disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
                misleading.  It is suggested that these consolidated financial
                statements  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  consolidated
                financial  statements and  the notes  thereto included  in the
                Company's latest annual report.

                The accompanying unaudited  consolidated financial  statements
                contain  all adjustments (consisting of  only normal recurring
                items) necessary  to present fairly the  financial position as
                of September 30, 1993, and the results of operations and  cash
                flows for the  nine months ended September 30, 1993  and 1992.
                The results of operations  for the nine months ended September
                30, 1993  and 1992,  are  not  necessarily indicative  of  the
                results to be expected for the full year.

    2.          Effective January  1, 1993,  the Company adopted  Statement of
                Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
                Taxes" ("SFAS 109").   SFAS 109 requires  companies to  record
                all deferred  tax liabilities or assets  for the deferred  tax
                consequences of all temporary differences.   Additionally, the
                statement requires  that deferred tax balances  be adjusted to
                reflect new tax  rates when  they are enacted into  law.   The
                cumulative effect of the implementation  of SFAS 109 on  years
                prior to 1993  is estimated to have no  material effect on net
                income.  Income  tax expense for 1993 reflects the  new method
                of  accounting;  income tax  expense  for  1992  has  not been
                restated.  The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 109 did  not
                materially  effect net  income or income  tax expense  for the
                nine months ended September 30, 1993.

    3.          On December 14,  1993, Telephone  and Data  Systems, Inc.,  an
                Iowa corporation (TDS),  Arvig Acquisition Corp.,  a Minnesota
                corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary  of TDS (TDS Sub.) and
                Arvig  Telcom, Inc.  signed  an agreement  and plan  of merger
                providing  for the  merger of  the TDS  Sub into  the Company,
                which  would result  in  the Company  becoming  a wholly-owned
                subsidiary of TDS.  The agreement and plan of merger  includes
                certain  closing conditions  precedent to consummation  of the
                transaction.
