NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related
notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related
notes included in the Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion
of management, all material adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in
the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. Operating
results for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
1997.
NOTE 2 - ACQUISITION
On May 30, 1997, the Company completed a business combination with Suncom
Communications L.L.C. a Delaware limited liability company. Under the terms of
the agreement, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Suncom, Inc.,
acquired the assets and business of Suncom, in exchange for which the Company
issued 2.1 million Common Shares to Suncom, which represented approximately
47.5% of the Company's outstanding Common Shares.
Also on May 30, 1997, Suncom consummated an agreement with A. J. Schell
acquiring substantially all of his equity position in the Company. As a result,
Suncom is the owner of 2,697,986 Common Shares, representing approximately 60.7%
of the outstanding Common Shares of the Company resulting in a reverse
acquisition.
The transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition therefore the
financial statements presented herein represent the historical results of Suncom
and the results of operation of Audio Communications Network, Inc. from the date
of acquisition.
Assuming the reverse acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1996 the Company's
(unaudited) net revenues, net income (loss) per share, and earnings (loss) per
share would have been approximately as follows:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
On May 30, 1997, Audio Communications Network, Inc. acquired the assets of
Suncom Communications, L.L.C. ('Suncom acquisition') subject to the assumption
of $18.75 million of liabilities. In addition, the members of Suncom received
2,100,000 shares of Audio stock representing approximately 48% of the shares on
a fully diluted basis. In a separate transaction, the members of Suncom
purchased 597,698 shares of Audio Stock from Al Schell, President, CEO, and
Chairman of the Board. Suncom's franchise areas of operation include specified
areas in the states of North and South Carolina as well as Arizona. Suncom will
operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Audio Communications Network, Inc.
The transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition therefore
the financial statements presented herein represent the historical results of
Suncom and the results of operation of Audio Communications Network, Inc. from
the date of acquisition.
NET REVENUES:
Consolidated Net Revenues for the 3rd. Quarter of 1997 were $5,615,003
increasing over the comparable period of 1996 and the 2nd. Quarter of 1997 by
$3,032,347 or 117% and $2,098,806 or 60% respectively. The majority of the
increase over '96 and '97 is attributable to the reverse acquisition of ACN and
the balance to the growth in the Suncom franchises.
Overall, the Company's first 9 months of 1997 revenues of $11,793,626 as
compared to the first 9 months of 1996 revenues of $7,800,581 increased
$3,993,045. The majority of the increase is directly related to the reverse
acquisition of ACN with the remaining representing growth from the Suncom
franchises.
COST AND EXPENSES:
Cost and Expenses for the 3rd. Quarter of 1997 were $3,789,165 increasing
over the comparable period of 1996 and the 2nd. Quarter of 1997 by $2,451,069
and $1,461,000 respectively. The majority of the increase over '96 and `97 is
attributable to the reverse acquisition of ACN and the balance to the increase
operating expenses of the Suncom franchises. Overall, the Company's first 9
months of 1997 Costs and Expenses of $7,731,566 as compared to the first 9
months of 1996 $4,807,597 increased $2,923,969. The entire increase is directly
related to the reverse acquisition of ACN.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION:
The increase in Depreciation and Amortization in the 3rd. Quarter of 1997
and the first 9 months of 1997 over like periods is due primarily to the assets
acquired in the reverse acquisition.
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE (NET):
The increase in Other Income and Expense (Net) in the 3rd Quarter of 1997
and the first 9 months of 1997 over their like periods is due primarily to the
additional senior and subordinated debt resulting from the reverse acquisition.
INCOME TAXES:
At September 30, 1997 the Company had operating loss carryforwards for
federal tax purchases of approximately $2,000,000. Such loss carryforwards

Net Loss for the Company's 3rd. Quarter of 1997 was $97,966 decreased from
a gain for the comparable period of 1996 of $170,667. The net loss for the 9
month period of 1997 was $345,922 compared to a loss for the comparable period
in 1996 of $219,755. The difference in operating results are primarily
attributable to the reverse acquisition of ACN.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
Operating cash flows (computed as net income plus interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization) for the first 9 months of 1997 have increased
from $2,992,984 in 1996 to $4,062,060 in 1997 an increase of $1,069,076 or 36%.

well as $18.75 million of debt obligations of Suncom and entered into a $32
million credit facility with PNC Bank with SunTrust and Lehman Brothers as
participating lenders in the facility. As of September 30, 1997 the Company had

$6.5 million. The credit facility is subject to various covenants including: (1)
