PART I

ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On March 15, 1996, PhoneTel Technologies, Inc., the Registrant (or "Company")
completed the following acquisitions:

         On November 22, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement and Plan
         of Merger to acquire the outstanding common stock of International Pay
         Phones, Inc. of South Carolina and International Pay Phones, Inc. of
         Tennessee (collectively "IPP"), companies affiliated through common
         ownership and management.  Under the terms of the Agreements, the
         Company  acquired 2,101 installed phones for a purchase price of
         $3,367,212 in cash, and 555,589 restricted shares of the Company's
         Common Stock, par value $0.01, ("Common Stock"), plus 5,453 shares of
         the Company's 14% Convertible Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock,
         (immediately convertible into 54,530 shares of Common Stock), plus
         warrants to purchase 117,785 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a
         nominal per share exercise price.  Additionally, the Company assumed
         approximately $1,754,000 in liabilities.  The purchase price included
         the purchase of two five year non-compete agreements, valued at
         $40,000, for two of IPP's former officers.

         On November 16, 1995, the Company entered into a Share Purchase
         Agreement with Paramount Communications Systems, Inc. ("Paramount").
         Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company acquired 2,528 installed
         phones for a cash purchase price of $9,618,553, plus 8,333 shares of
         14% Convertible Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (immediately
         convertible into 83,330 shares of Common Stock), plus warrants to
         purchase 179,996 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a nominal per
         share exercise price.  Additionally the Company assumed approximately
         $733,000 in liabilities.  The purchase price included a five year
         consulting and non-compete agreement, valued at $50,000 for one of
         Paramount's former officers.

The assets of IPP and Paramount consisted of 4,626 pay telephones installed on
locations, together with enclosures, inventory of uninstalled pay telephones,
parts, vehicles, computers and contracts pursuant to which the acquired pay
telephones are installed on property owned by others.  The acquisitions of IPP
and Paramount will be accounted for using the purchase method and, accordingly,
the purchase price will be allocated to the net assets, based on their
estimated fair values.


ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

CHANGES IN STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Subsequent to December 31, 1995, the Company created three new classes of
preferred stock: (i) Series A Special Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.20 par
value, 250,000 authorized shares, immediately convertible into 20 shares of
Common Stock, and non-voting, ("Series A Preferred"); (ii) Series B Special
Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.20 par value, 250,000 authorized shares,
immediately convertible into 20 shares of Common Stock, and non-voting ("Series
B Preferred"); and (iii) 14% Convertible Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock,
without par value, $60 Stated Value, non-voting, June 30, 2000, mandatory
redemption date at a redemption price of $60 per share, 200,000 authorized
shares, and immediately convertible into 10 shares of Common Stock ("14%
Preferred").

CHANGES IN LONG-TERM DEBT

In a transaction consummated on March 15, 1996, the Company borrowed additional
funds of $30,530,954 (out of a total credit facility commitment of $37,250,000)
from Internationale Nederlanden (U.S.) Capital Corporation and one other lender
(collectively know as "ING"). The Company has available under the credit
facility $6.7 million to fund future acquisitions and for general working
capital purposes. The Company used the funds to complete the Paramount and IPP
acquisitions, repaid all outstanding long-term debt and capital lease
obligations which had a secured interest in the Company's installed phones,
redeemed certain series of Preferred Stock and paid related transaction fees.
The ING credit facility requires monthly interest payments at prime plus 5%.
Principal payments commence September 1997, with the amount of the principal
payment contingent upon numerous factors, including the borrowing base and cash
flow of the Company. All of the Company's installed phones are pledged as
collateral to the ING credit facility.

The majority of the ING credit facility (currently $29 million) can be converted
into Series B Preferred at the ratio of 833 shares for each $100,000 in
outstanding debt and interest. Additionally, ING received warrants to purchase
204,824 shares of Series A Preferred at an exercise price of $0.20 per share.
Each share of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred is convertible into 20
shares of Common Stock. The difference between the exercise price of Series A
Preferred and the estimated fair value of the warrants on the date of grant will
be recorded as interest expense over the term of the ING credit facility. The
Company has estimated the annual non-cash interest expense to be $3,000,000.

Concurrent with the ING transaction, the Company redeemed the 10% Cumulative
Preferred, the 8% Preferred, and the 7% Preferred. The redemption price was
$1,117,371 and 34,434 shares of 14% Preferred. In the aggregate, $6,475,011 of
the Company's outstanding obligations, including portions of the purchase price
for the pending acquisitions, was liquidated by issuing 107,918 shares of 14%
Preferred.

Warrants to purchase 2,018,946 shares of Common Stock at a nominal exercise
price per share ("Nominal Value Warrants") were issued in conjunction with the
IPP and Paramount acquisitions, redemption of the 10% Cumulative Preferred, 8%
Preferred, and the 7% Preferred, and conversion of certain debt of the Company
to the 14% Preferred.

The Company has reserved 13,966,026 shares of Common Stock for issuance under
the following scenarios: (1) conversion of $29,000,000 of ING outstanding debt
into 241,667 shares of Series B Preferred Stock which is then immediately
convertible into 4,833,333 shares of Common Stock; (2) exercising of warrants to
purchase 204,824 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at $0.20 per share,
immediately convertible into 4,096,480 shares of Common Stock; (3) conversion of
107,918 shares of 14% Preferred into 1,079,179 shares of Common Stock; (4)
conversion, upon Shareholder approval, of 530,534 shares of 10% Non-Voting
Preferred into 885,992 shares of Common Stock; (5) the exercising of 2,018,946
Nominal Value Warrants; (6) the exercising of 580,351 warrants at prices ranging
from $5.70 to $15.75 per share; and (7) the exercising of 471,745 stock options
at prices ranging from $3.00 to $19.50 per share.

International Payphones, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying Balance Sheets of International Payphones, Inc.
(a Tennessee corporation) as of September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, and
the related Statements of Earnings and Retained Earnings and Cash Flows for the
nine month period and year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides 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 International Payphones, Inc.
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1995 and the year ended December 31, 1994 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                    September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994





Note A - General

     International Payphones, Inc. is a Tennessee corporation formed in 1985 to
sale, install, lease and maintain pay telephone equipment. The majority of the
Company's operations are in the eastern region of the the state of Tennessee
where it owns approximately 500 telephones and receives pay telephone coin
income and long distance commissions. Under agreements with pay phone site
location owners, the Company collects the pay phone coin revenue and the long
distance commission income and pays a percentage of this revenue to the site
location owner each month. These agreements cover periods ranging from five to
twenty years. Approximately thirty to forty percent of the Company's revenue is
received under agreements with two long distance telecommunications companies.
These agreements are between an affiliate of the Company, Resort Hospitality
Services, and the two long distance carriers.


Note B - Property and equipment

     Property and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated using the
straight-line method over useful lives ranging from 5 to 7 years for equipment
and vehicles and 31.5 years for leasehold improvements. Repairs and maintenance
are charged to expense when incurred and improvements which substantially
prolong the useful lives of the assets involved are capitalized and depreciated.
The cost of assets classified by major categories is as follows:

                                           1995                    1994

                                        ----------              ----------
           Total cost                   744,819.89              720,142.61

Note C - Income taxes

     The Company is an S corporation for Federal income tax purposes. As a
result, no provision for Federal income taxes is made by the Company because the
individual stockholders' report and pay Federal income tax on their allocated
percentage of the Company's net earnings. The Company does pay Tennessee state
excise tax on its net earnings at a 6% tax rate.

     There are timing differences in how items of income and expense reported on
the tax return and in the financial statements. These differences involve trade
receivables for long distance commission income which is reported as income when
earned in the financial statements but is reported as received for tax purposes.
In addition, depreciation expense is claimed under IRS Code Section 179 and
using accelerated writeoff methods for tax purposes, while the straight-line
writeoff method is used for financial reporting. State excise tax is provided
for in the financial statements as the items of income and deduction are
recognized therein regardless of when they are reported on the income tax
return. As a result of the timing differences, deferred tax liabilities of   
$6,000 and $5,100, respectively, have been accrued at September 30, 1995 and
December 31, 1994. In addition, income tax expense at September 30, 1995
includes $900 in deferred state excise taxes.

107 Dave Warlick Dr.
Lincolnton, North Carolina 28092

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of International Pay Phones, Inc.
(a South Carolina corporation) as of December 31, 1994, and the related
statements of income and retained earnings, and cash flows for the year then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial
statement based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 balance sheet. 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 audit provides 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 International Pay Phones, Inc.
as of December 31, 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992



(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     (a) THE COMPANY

         Paramount Communications Systems, Inc. (the "Company"), a Florida
         corporation, was formed in March, 1987 as a result of the deregulation
         of the telephone industry. The Company is a Subchapter S corporation in
         the business of installing, maintaining and operating pay telephones
         throughout South Florida.


     (b) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

         The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original
         maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

     (c) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

         Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and
         amortization on property and equipment are calculated on a
         straight-line basis over five years, the estimated useful lives of the
         assets.

     (d) INTANGIBLE ASSETS

         Intangible assets consist of non-compete agreements and location
         contracts. The non-compete agreements are being amortized on a
         straight-line basis over their duration (five years) and expire through
         July, 1998. The location contracts are amortized over two and one-half
         years and expire through June, 1995.

     (e) RECOGNITION OF REVENUE

         Revenues from coin calls and non-coin calls are recognized as calls are
         made. When revenue on a telephone call is recorded, an expense is also
         recorded for fees associated with the call. Revenue from the telephone
         service agreement is recognized in the month of service.

     (f) INCOME TAXES

         The Company is a Subchapter S corporation. As such, no provision is
         made for income taxes as income or loss is included in the tax returns
         of the shareholders.

     (g) CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT AND BUSINESS RISK

         Receivables have a significant concentration of credit risk in the
         telecommunications industry. In addition, receivables are generated by
         the Company's pay telephones located in the state of Florida. No single
         customer accounted for more than 5% of the Company's sales.


                                                                     (Continued)
