(a) Represents loss on disposal of PTC Cellular, Inc. The loss on disposal
includes a valuation allowance of approximately $5.5 million recorded against
deferred tax assets generated by this transaction. The change in estimated loss
on disposal resulted from, among other things, change in market conditions,
disputes over liabilities for cellular cloning charges, decreased revenue
attributable to PIN numbers introduced by the cellular carriers to prevent
cloning and a delay in creating a new phone technology to deal with PIN numbers
and other matters. 
(b) Represents rent expense previously absorbed by PTC Cellular, Inc. which will
not be absorbed upon sale and relocation of these operations.

<FN>
(a) Represents losses from operations of PTC Cellular, Inc. for the year ended
December 31, 1994.
(b) Represents a provision for the estimated impairment of asset values and
losses through the anticipated divestiture date. The provision was net of an
estimated gain on disposition of approximately $1.1 million and included a
valuation allowance of approximately $3.4 million against deferred tax assets
generated by these losses.
(c) Represents rent expense previously absorbed by PTC Cellular, Inc. which 
will not be absorbed upon sale and relocation of these operations.
(d) Represents interest allocation from parent, net of interest income on 
$2.0 million promissory note at 8.0% beginning January 1, 1994.
(e) Represents additional losses incurred on the disposition of PTC Cellular, 
Inc. The Loss on Disposal includes a valuation allowance of approximately 
$5.5 million recorded against deferred tax assets generated by this transaction.
The change in the estimated Loss on Disposal resulted from, among other things,
changes in market conditions, disputes over liabilities for cellular cloning 
charges, decreased revenue attributable to PIN numbers introduced by cellular 
carriers to prevent cloning and a delay in creating a new phone technology to 
deal with PIN numbers and other matters.
