                            MONTHLY OPERATING REPORT

                                   AUGUST 1998

The Debtor in Possession is filing an incomplete Monthly Operating Report due to
the lack of complete records. The former officers of PowerTel USA, Inc. have not
cooperated with the Debtor by providing the necessary information. The Books and
Records are missing. Therefore, it is impossible for the Debtor to file a
complete Monthly Operating Report.
