ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

         Able Telcom Holding Corp. (the "Company") reported today that net
income for the fourth quarter ended October 31, 1998 is $1.8 million, or $0.16
per share, based on revenues of $103.0 million. Income applicable to common
shareholders, after taking into account preferred stock dividends, is $1.6
million, or $0.15 per share. On a diluted basis, income applicable to common
shareholders is $0.16 per share.

         Revenues for the Company's fiscal year ended October 31, 1998 are
$217.5 million with net income of $2.5 million. After taking into account a
non-cash charge to retained earnings of $8.0 million related to the beneficial
conversion privileges on preferred stock, other non-recurring adjustments
associated with the Company's obtaining financing for a portion of the purchase
price of MFS Network Technologies, and preferred stock dividends, the loss
applicable to common shareholders is $5.8 million, or $0.59 per share. On a
diluted basis, the loss applicable to common shareholders is $5.3 million, or
$0.51 per share. The Company is currently analyzing the effects of the year-end
adjustments on previously reported quarterly earnings.

         Due to discussions regarding the above held with Arthur Andersen LLP,
the Form 10-K was unable to be filed with the Commission today. Now that the
audit is complete, the Company expects to file the 10-K by February 24, 1999.
