***************
The Company has made a motion to dissolve the TRO and the federal court in Maine has held a hearing to consider the Company's motion. Bell Atlantic's counterclaims have been consolidated with the Company's suit in the federal court in the Southern District of Maine. The Company estimates that the TRO applies to less than 5% of the Company's target customers in its current markets. The Company continues to provide many of these customers with other services such as long distance and Internet access that are not covered by the terms of the TRO.

Fro The 10K...

**************************

In November 1997, the Company replaced its existing $5,000,000 revolving line of credit agreement with a bank credit facility consisting of $15,000,000 revolving line of credit, a $5,000,000 equipment line of credit, and a $5,000,000 working capital line of credit. The revolving line of credit bears interest at Libor plus 1.5% to 3.00%, or prime rate plus up to 0.5%, depending on certain coverage ratios of the Company and expires in September, 2000. The
equipment and working capital lines of credit bear interest at Libor plus 1.75% to 3.25%, or prime rate plus up to 1%, depending on certain leverage ratios of the Company and expire in September 2000. At March 31, 1998, $1,339,000 and $4,018,000 was available for borrowing under the revolving line of credit, and the equipment line of credit, respectively, and no amounts were available for borrowing under the working capital line of credit.

As of March 31, 1998, the Company was not in compliance with certain
covenants under its bank credit facility as a result of the Company's fourth quarter net loss of approximately $6 million. The bank has waived such covenant noncompliance under the Facility until September 30, 1998. See Note 1.
