(collectively the Partnership). These partnerships are under common control and while their statements have been combined, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows presented herein, do not represent those of a single legal entity. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in combination. Line of Business ----------------- The Partnership provides short-term portable cellular telephone services in certain regions in the United States. Telecommunications and Office Equipment --------------------------------------- Telecommunications and office equipment is stated at cost. The Partnership records depreciation on the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Telecommunications equipment 3 years Office equipment 5 years Intangible Assets ----------------- Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the net assets of an acquired business which is amortized over 20 years from the acquisition date. The Partnership monitors the profitability of the acquired operation to assess whether any impairment of recorded goodwill has occurred. Licensing fees relate to the costs of acquiring a license for short-term cellular telephone rental operations within certain regions of the United States. These costs are amortized over 20 years. Income Taxes --------------- Each partnership files separate income tax returns. The taxable income (loss) of each partnership, which may differ from income (loss) reported under generally accepted accounting principles, is includable in the tax returns of the individual partners. Note 2 TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND OFFICE EQUIPMENT Telecommunications and office equipment consist of the following at November 30, 1993: Telecommunications equipment $301,373 Office equipment 151,726 -------- 453,099 Accumulated depreciation 176,206 ------- $276,893 -------- Depreciation expense from March 15, 1992 (date of inception) to December 31, 1992 and for the eleven months ended November 30, 1993 was $118,633 and $150,906, respectively. Note 3 LEASE RECEIVABLE Lease financing consists of direct financing leases. Income on direct financing leases is recognized by a method which provides a constant periodic rate of return on the outstanding investment in the lease. The Partnership leases cellular telephones to a partner under a lease which expires in February 1994. Interest income for 1992 and 1993 is approximately $30,000 and $15,000, respectively. Note 4 NOTE PAYABLE, RELATED PARTY The note payable, to a related party, is due on demand, and bears interest at 10% per annum. The note was repaid in December 1993. Note 5 DUE TO AFFILIATE Amounts due to affiliate are non-interest bearing advances payable on demand. Note 6 COMMITMENT The Partnership leases office facilities in various locations. The leases expire in various years through May 1997. Future minimum aggregate annual rental payments as of November 30, 1993 are as follows: Years ending November 30, 1994 $84,856 1995 29,710 1996 16,731 1997 8,070 Rent expense from March 15, 1992 (date of inception) to December 31, 1992 and for the eleven months ended November 30, 1993 was $73,320 and $115,990, respectively. Note 7 DEPENDENCE UPON KEY RELATIONSHIPS MAJOR CUSTOMERS Approximately 43% of the Partnership's revenues for the eleven months ended November 30, 1993 were attributable to cellular telephone rentals made to customers of a national car rental company. The Partnership's agreement with the company is terminable on 90 days notice. The termination of this agreement would have a material adverse effect on the Partnership. Note 8 SUBSEQUENT EVENT On December 1, 1993, the Partnership sold substantially all of its assets (excluding cash) less liabilities assumed, for approximately $1,250,000 and ceased operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION On October 1, 1993, Shared Technologies Cellular, Inc. (STC) commenced management of and subsequently acquired the net assets and assumed certain liabilities of Road and Show Cellular East, Inc. (East). Prior to the sale of East to STC, East acquired certain assets of Road and Show Cellular, Inc. (Cellular). Cellular's accounting records were maintained together with a related entity, Road and Show Cars, Inc. The combined statements of revenues and direct expenses include only the revenues and direct expenses of Cellular and East for the year ended December 31, 1992 and the nine months ended September 30, 1993. The statements of revenues and direct expenses include an allocation of selling, general, and administrative expenses from Road and Show Cars, Inc., an affiliated company. Allocations of these expenses are based on the relevant revenues to total revenues, which management believes is a reasonable basis of allocation. The revenues and direct expenses specifically identified to businesses not acquired were not included in the statements of revenues and direct expenses. The operating results of Cellular do not include a provision for income taxes. No amortization of goodwill is included in the statements of revenues and direct expenses since the assets were acquired after September 30, 1993. Note 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Telecommunications and Office Equipment --------------------------------------- Telecommunications and office equipment is stated at cost. The Company records depreciation and amortization on the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Telecommunications equipment 3 years Office equipment 3-5 years Intangible Assets ----------------- Goodwill represents the excess of costs over the net assets of acquired businesses which is amortized over 20 years from the respective acquisition dates. The Company monitors the profitability of the acquired operations to assess whether any impairment of recorded goodwill has occurred. Revenue Recognition ------------------- Revenues are recognized as services are performed. The Company invoices certain customers monthly, in advance, for line charges and defers recognition of these revenues until the service is provided. Initial license fee revenue is recognized once all material services or conditions relating to the sale have been substantially performed. Note 3 NOTE PAYABLE The note payable was due to the former owner of East and was non- interest bearing. The note was repaid in 1994.
