             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   The  unaudited  financial statements included herein  have  been
     prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
     and   Exchange  Commission.   Certain  information  in  footnote
     disclosures  normally included in financial statements  prepared
     in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
     been   condensed   or  omitted  pursuant  to  such   rules   and
     regulations,  although the Company believes the disclosures  are
     adequate  to make the information presented not misleading.   It
     is   suggested  that  these  financial  statements  be  read  in
     conjunction with the financial statements and the notes  thereto
     included  in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December
     31, 1997.

     In  the  opinion  of  the  Company, the  accompanying  financial
     statements  contain  all  adjustments  (consisting   of   normal
     recurring  accruals) necessary to present fairly  the  financial
     position  as  of March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997,  and  the
     results of operations and cash flows for the three months  ended
     March 31, 1998 and 1997.  The results for the three months ended
     March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results  of
     operations  which  may be expected for the  entire  year  ending
     December 31, 1998.

2.   ACQUISITIONS

     On January 29, 1998, Chorus acquired Executive Systems &
     Software, Inc., d/b/a The ComputerPlus, and IntraNet Inc., which
     were under common ownership. The businesses were acquired for
     20,000 shares of common stock, cash of $500,000 and notes
     payable of $500,000.

     The acquisitions were accounted for as a purchase and,
     accordingly, the operating results of The ComputerPlus and
     Intranet, Inc. have been included in Chorus' consolidated
     financial statements since the date of acquisition. The excess
     of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of net
     assets acquired of $1.4 million is being amortized over 10
     years.

     The following summarized unaudited pro forma consolidated
     results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 and
     1997 assumes the acquisition had occurred on January 1 of each
     year.

     Net Income                             1,265        1,057
     Earnings per share                 $     .23    $     .20
     </TABLE>
     These amounts include The ComputerPlus' and Intranet, Inc.'s
     actual results for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and
     1997. These amounts are based upon certain assumptions and
     estimates, and do not reflect any benefit from economies which
     might be achieved from continued operations. The pro forma
     results do not necessarily represent results which would have
     occurred if the acquisition had taken place on the basis assumed
     above, nor are they indicative of the results of future combined
     operations.
<PAGE>
3.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On April 1, 1998, Chorus declared a 2-for-1 common stock split.
     Retroactive effect has been given to the stock split in all
     common share and per share data.

4.   OPERATING SEGMENTS

     Chorus organizes its business into two reportable segments:
     local exchange carrier (LEC) services and system sales and
     services.  The LEC services segment provides telephone and data
     services to customers in local exchanges located in Southern
     Wisconsin.  As a result of acquisitions in January 1998, the
     system sales and services operations, which provide the sale,
     installation and servicing of business phone systems, was
     expanded to include computer network systems integration and
     computer sales.  Chorus also has operations in long distance,
     Internet services, and directory publishing that do not meet the
     quantitative thresholds for reportable segments.

5.   CONTINGENCIES

     On May 14, 1998, the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin
     (the"Commission") issued an order which certified two
     competitors, TDS Metrocom, Inc., and KMC Telecom, Inc., to
     provide local telephone service in the territory served by Mid-
     Plains, Inc. The Commission also terminated the rural telephone
     company exemption of Mid-Plains as it pertains to the interconnection
     request of TDS. Mid-Plains is in the process of reviewing the
     Commission's order and what legal action Mid-Plains may pursue
     as a response. As a result of the authorization of two
     competitors, Mid-Plains does expect that competition will have
     some adverse effect upon its revenues in the future. The extent
     of that effect is unknown at this time.


Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations

Effective June 1, 1997, Mid-Plains, Inc. (Mid-Plains) and Pioneer
Communications, Inc. (Pioneer) merged into subsidiaries of a new
holding company, Chorus Communications Group, Ltd.  The mergers have
been accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and, accordingly,
historical financial data shown below has been reported as if the
companies have always been one.

Effective January 29, 1998, Chorus acquired Executive Systems &
Software, Inc., d/b/a/ The ComputerPlus and IntraNet, Inc.  The
acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting and accordingly, the results of operations of The
ComputerPlus and IntraNet, Inc. have been included in the
consolidated results of operations of Chorus from the date of
acquisition.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

Chorus' reported net income increased $0.4 million, to $1.4 million
for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period
in 1997.

Revenues increased $2.6 million for the first quarter of 1998 as
compared to the first quarter of 1997.  The acquisition of The
ComputerPLUS and IntraNet, Inc. accounted for $1.5 million of the
increase with the remainder due to growth in LEC services and Other
Services and Sales.

Operating costs and expenses increased $1.8 million for the first
quarter of 1998 as compared to the first quarter of 1997.  $1.4
million of the increased costs were due to the operations of the
acquisitions noted above.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE BUSINESS SEGMENT

Chorus' primary operations are local exchange carrier services
and system sales and services.
<PAGE>
Local Exchange Carrier Services

LEC services provide telephone and data services to customers in
local exchanges located in Southern Wisconsin.   LEC services
operating income consisted of the following:
<TABLE>
                                        For the First Quarter Ended

Revenues and Sales                       6,774         5,980
Operating Costs and Expenses             4,283         4,213
LEC Services Operating Income            2,491         1,767
Intercompany eliminations                 (179)         (331)

Operating Income                        $2,312        $1,436
</TABLE>

LEC services revenues are derived from local network services,
interstate network access, intrastate network access and other
services.  Local service revenues are based on fees charged to
customers for providing local telephone exchange service within
designated franchise areas.  Local service revenues increased $0.4
million for the first quarter of 1998 as compared to the first
quarter of 1997.  This was principally due to Mid-Plains Alternative
Regulation Plan, which raised local service rates on September 1,
1997, having the effect of increasing local service revenues by $0.2
million for the first quarter of 1998 as compared to 1997.
Additionally, all LECs experienced a greater demand for service as
evidenced by an 8% increase in the number of access lines.

Interstate and intrastate network access revenues are based on fees
charged to interexchange carriers that use the LECs' local network to
provide long distance service to their customers.  Interstate
revenues grew $0.5 million in the first quarter of 1998 as compared
to the first quarter of 1997. This increase was largely due to higher
demand for access services as evidenced by a 12% growth in minutes of
use for the first quarter of 1998 as compared to the first quarter of
1997. Additionally, a true-up adjustment from the National Exchange
Carrier Association reduced 1997 interstate network access revenues
by $0.2 million.

Intrastate network access revenues decrease $0.2 million in the first
quarter of 1998 as compared to the first quarter of 1997. This was
due to Mid-Plains Alternative Regulation Plan, which lowered
intrastate network access rates, decreasing revenues by $0.2 million
for the first quarter of 1998 as compared to the first quarter of
1997.

Operating costs and expenses grew $0.1 million in the first quarter
of 1998 as compared to the same time period in 1997.  This increase
was primarily due to $0.1 million of expenditures related to
regulatory matters more fully discussed in Part II, Item 1 Legal Proceedings.

System Sales and Services

System sales and services sell business systems and provide
installation and services throughout Southern Wisconsin.
Additionally, with the acquisition of The ComputerPlus, this segment
was expanded to include computer network systems integration and
computer sales.
<PAGE>

System sales and services operating income consisted of the
following:

Operating Income                       $     55      $    153
</TABLE>

System sales and services revenues increased $1.1 million in the
first quarter of 1998 as compared to the first quarter of 1997.  The
increase in revenues is due to the acquisition of The ComputerPlus
whose revenues are included in the financials statements and related
data from January 29, 1998, the date of the acquisition.

Operating costs and expenses increased $1.2 million in the first
quarter of 1998 as compared to the first quarter of 1997. This was due
primarily to cost of goods sold which increased by $0.9 million
primarily as a result of the purchase of The ComputerPlus.  In addition,
selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.2 million,
primarily due to the acquisition of The ComputerPlus.

Other Services and Sales

Other services and sales include operations from long distance,
Internet and directory publishing operations.  Other services and
sales operating income consisted of the following:

</TABLE>
Revenues from other services and sales increased $0.6 million in the
first quarter of 1998 as compared to the first quarter of 1997.  The
increase was due to the acquisition of IntraNet, Inc. on January 29,
1998, which accounted for $0.2 million of the increase, as well as
the growth in the number of customers.  This was offset in part from
the termination in October of 1997 of a temporary arrangement to
resell intralata toll service.
<PAGE>
The increases in operating costs and expenses in the first quarter of
1998 as compared to the first quarter of 1997 were primarily due to
the acquisition of IntraNet, Inc. as well as growth in internal
operations.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

OVERVIEW

Chorus requires funds primarily for its construction programs, the
maturity and retirement of long-term debt, dividend payments and
investments.  The capital resources available to meet these
requirements are provided through operating and financing activities.
Net cash from operating activities of Chorus and its subsidiaries for
the first quarter of 1998 was $3.3 million.


INVESTING ACTIVITIES AND CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The primary capital requirement of Chorus has historically consisted
of expenditures under its construction program.  Total construction
expenditures for the first quarter of 1998 was $1.2 million.
Additionally, Chorus acquired Executive Systems & Software, Inc.,
d/b/a/ The ComputerPlus and IntraNet, Inc. for 20,000 shares of
common stock,  $0.5 million cash and notes of $0.5 million to be paid
over two years.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

During the first quarter of 1998, Chorus repaid $0.3 million of long-
term debt.

It is anticipated that the capital requirements for Chorus'
construction programs, maturity and retirement of long-term debt, and
dividend payments will be provided for with cash flow from operating
activities and the issuance of debt.

At May 7, 1998, Chorus has available unused lines-of-credit of $10.7
million.  Chorus has experienced no difficulty in obtaining funds for
its construction programs or other purposes.  However, competition
could have a negative impact on Chorus' future operations and cash
flows.


REGULATION AND COMPETITION

As more fully discussed in Part II Item 1 Legal Proceedings, Mid-
Plains is subject to future competition which Mid-Plains expects will
have some adverse effect upon its future revenues.  The extent of that
effect is unknown at this time.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Company's future business, and other factors indicated from time to
time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  Such forward-looking statements reflect only information
