                            MONTHLY OPERATING REPORT
                                    MAY 1997







The Trustee 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 Trustee by providing the necessary information. The books and Records
are missing. Therefore, it is impossible for the Trustee to file a complete
Monthly Operating Report.
