NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included
herein have been prepared by the Company. The foregoing statements contain all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments which are, in the
opinion of the Company's management, necessary to present fairly the
consolidated financial position of the Company as of June 30, 1998 and the
consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

         Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in
financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the instructions, rules
and regulations prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("the
Commission"). Although the Company believes the disclosures provided are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading, it strongly
recommends that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the footnotes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year
ended December 31, 1997.

AMENDED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         During August 1998, the Company restated its financial statements to
reflect the effect of revising the price per share of Company common stock
issued in connection with the May 1996 acquisition of Resetel from $2.25 to
$5.99 per share. The revised price per share is based on the average closing
price of the Company's common stock for the period of 14 days before and after
the date the terms of the acquisition were announced. The previously recorded
purchase price was based on the Company's March 1996 private placement. The
effect of the change in price per share increased the reported purchase price
from approximately $2,800 to $7,500.

         Because of the restatement related to Resetel, the Company also amended
certain financial information as reported on its June 30, 1997 and March 31,
1998 Form 10-QSB. A summary of the original and amended unaudited financial
information and a description of the related impact of the Company's statement
of operations follows:

NOTE 1 - TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS

         Telecommunications networks are recorded at cost and are depreciated on
a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Construction, engineering, interest , labor costs and import and value added
taxes directly related to the development of the Company's networks are
capitalized. The Company begins depreciating these costs when the networks
become commercially operational.

         Telecommunications networks consists of:

NOTE 2 - FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

         Primarily as a result of the Company's (1) U.S. dollar denominated
senior note financing during October 1997 and (2) acquisition of FirstCom Long
Distance during December 1997, effective January 1, 1998 the Company's
subsidiaries have used the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. This change
did not have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations for the
six and three months ended June 30, 1998.


NOTE 3 - RECLASSIFICATIONS

         Certain amounts in the 1997 condensed consolidated financial statements
were reclassified to conform with the 1998 presentation.

NOTE 4 - SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

         On February 1, 1998, the Board of Directors adopted a shareholder
rights plan (the "Rights Plan") designed to assure that all of the Company's
shareholders receive fair and equal treatment in the event of any proposed
takeover of the Company. The Rights Plan helps to guard against partial tender
offers, squeeze-outs, open market accumulations and other abusive tactics to
gain control of the Company without paying an adequate and fair price in any
takeover attempt.

         The Rights Plan provides for the issuance of one right for each
outstanding share of the Company's Common Stock. The current outstanding Common
Stock certificates will represent the Rights until they are exercisable and
therefore no separate certificates representing the Rights will be issued. The
Rights will separate from the Common Stock and become exercisable when a person
or group acquires, or announces that it intends to acquire, 20% or more of the
outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock. This percentage can be reduced
to 10% if the Board deems that such ownership interest may cause a material
adverse impact on the business or prospects of the Company or its shareholders.
The Rights will expire on April 3, 2008.

NOTE 5 - SHAREHOLDER LOANS

         During April 1998 the Company loaned certain officers $606 related to
federal and state income tax liabilities arising from shares of the Company's
common stock granted to such officers during 1997. The loans are collateralized
by 336,600 shares of the Company's common stock.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         Certain statements set forth herein including information with respect
to the Company's plans and strategy for its business, acquisitions and related
financings, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are
subject to material risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are
beyond control of the Company. As a result, the actual results, performance or
achievements of the Company, may be materially different from any future
results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, investors and creditors
are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

         The Company is a next generation provider of intelligent
telecommunications services. The Company's mission statement is to be the
leading services provider of high bandwidth integrated telecommunications
services to businesses and other high volume users operating in key Latin
American markets, creating great opportunities for its customers, employees,
investors and other partners.

         The Company's strategy is to (i) build facilities based fiber optic and
digital switching intelligent networks; (ii) develop strategic relationships
with technology network vendors and developers of Internet-based software; and
(iii) provide end-to-end network solutions to business customers.

         Today, the Company is constructing state-of-the-art fiber optic ATM
networks in Santiago, Chile and Lima, Peru. ATM is an information transfer
standard that is one of a general class of packet technologies. ATM can be used
by many different information systems, including local area networks to deliver
traffic at varying rates, permitting a mix of voice, data, video and multimedia.
As of June 30, 1998, the Company had installed approximately (i) 120 kilometers
of fiber optic cable through most of Santiago's downtown business district and
the outlying industrial and airport corridor and (ii) 475 kilometers of fiber
optic cable through the major commercial and industrial districts of Lima, and
the port city of Callao. During the third and fourth quarter of this year the
Company intends to substantially complete the installation of the ATM network
equipment in both Peru and Chile.

         In Chile the Company operates three wholly owned subsidiaries, FirstCom
Networks (formally operated by the Company under the names of Hewster Servicios
Intermedios, S.A. and Hewster S.A.), FirstCom Long Distance (formally Iusatel
Chile S.A. which was acquired by the Company on December 17, 1997) and Visat
S.A. ("Visat").

         FirstCom Networks currently provides businesses in Santiago with high
quality voice and data communications services on a private line basis,
including local area network interconnections, remote terminal access, PBX to
PBX connections, remote printing capabilities and high speed access to the
Internet through arrangements with a Chilean based ISP. In addition, FirstCom
Networks provides its customers with local and wide area network design,
engineering, installation, systems' integration and support services. FirstCom
Long Distance provides domestic and international long distance services.
FirstCom Long Distance's long distance traffic is switched and transported, in
part, through its own gateway switch and satellite earth station, as well as
through interconnections with other Chilean long distance carriers. Visat holds
a government concession to provide intermediate telecommunications services,
including the installation and operation of a network of 12 satellite earth
stations and a switch throughout Chile, which allows the Company to transmit
satellite communications.

         In Peru, the Company operates as a wholly owned subsidiary, Red de
Servicios Empresariales de Telecomunicaciones, S.A. ("Resetel"). Upon completion
of its fiber optic network, Resetel intends to aggressively provide
multinational, national and local businesses a broad array of high quality data,
video and voice communication services, including LAN interconnection, frame
relay, remote terminal access and dedicated channels for access to the Internet,
on a private line basis. As a result of the accelerated liberalization of Peru's
telecommunications markets and expiration of Telefonica del Peru's exclusive
concession to provide public switched local and long distance telephony services
effective August 1, 1998, Resetel intends to aggressively expand its existing
service offerings to provide local public switched telephony.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

         DURING DECEMBER 1997 THE COMPANY ACQUIRED FIRSTCOM LONG DISTANCE S.A.
(FORMERLY IUSATEL CHILE S.A.). THE COMPANY'S COMPARATIVE OPERATING RESULTS
DURING THE SIX MONTHS OF 1998 WERE SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED BY THIS ACQUISITION AS
DISCUSSED IN MORE DETAIL BELOW. DURING THE NEXT SIX MONTHS THE COMPANY INTENDS
TO CONTINUE TO BUILD-OUT ITS FIBER OPTIC NETWORKS IN PERU AND CHILE AND PLANS TO
WIRE MANY OF THE BUILDINGS THAT INCLUDE THE COMPANY'S TARGETED 9
<PAGE>

CUSTOMERS. 

         REVENUES. The Company's revenues are derived primarily from its
operations in Chile. During the first six months of 1998 FirstCom Long Distance
contributed approximately 91% of total revenues. The Company expects revenues to
increase over the next few years due to the completion of the Company's ATM
fiber optic networks and the related expansion of its operations in Peru and
Chile.

         The Company's revenues were $6,815,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1998 as compared to $585,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. This
increase during 1998 was due to the acquisition of FirstCom Long Distance.
FirstCom Long Distance generated revenues during 1998 of approximately $6.2
million through the sale of approximately 19.9 million minutes resulting in an
average revenue per minute of approximately $0.31. FirstCom Network's revenue
during 1998 of $541,000 consisted primarily of equipment sales and system
integration services.

         COST OF REVENUES. The Company's cost of revenues is derived primarily
from its operations in Chile. Costs of revenues include both the cost of
services provided and the cost of equipment sold. During 1998 cost of revenues
relate principally to FirstCom Long Distance and include access charges paid to
local exchange carriers and transmission payments to other carriers. Costs of
revenues also include payments for rights of way related to the Company's fiber
optic networks. The Company anticipates that the cost of revenues will increase
with the expansion of its operations.

         The Company's cost of revenues was $5,507,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 as compared to $667,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
This increase was attributable to the acquisition of FirstCom Long Distance.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses consist principally of salaries, wages and related
liabilities, professional fees related to legal, recruiting and accounting,
advertising and marketing costs, and travel. The Company expects selling,
general and administrative expenses to increase over time as it continues to
expand its operations.

         The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses were
$4,540,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $1,754,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to
the acquisition of FirstCom Long Distance and the hiring of additional personnel
related to the anticipated growth of the Peruvian and Chilean operations. At
June 30, 1998 the Company had approximately 190 employees compared to 130
employees at December 31, 1997. The Company expects to continue to increase the
number of its employees during the third quarter of this year.

         DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. The Company depreciates its
telecommunications networks and intangible assets on a straight line basis over
their estimated useful lives. The Company believes that depreciation and
amortization expense will continue to increase with the expansion of its
operations.

         The Company's depreciation and amortization expenses were $1,100,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $548,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to an
increase in depreciation and amortization expense related to certain assets
purchased in the acquisition of FirstCom Long Distance.

         INTEREST EXPENSE. The Company currently incurs interest expense on the
outstanding Senior Notes and capital leases. Interest expense has been reduced
for amounts capitalized related to the Company's construction of its fiber optic
networks. Interest costs reported with respect to the Company's Senior Notes
include amortization of (i) deferred financing costs and (ii) original issue
discounts related to detachable warrants.

         The Company's interest expense was $10,652,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 as compared to $531,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
This increase was due to the Senior Notes that were issued on October 21, 1997.
Of the total interest costs incurred by the Company for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997,

                                       10

$643,000 and $500,000, respectively, of such costs were capitalized in
connection with the Company's construction of its fiber optic network in Lima,
Peru.

         INTEREST INCOME AND OTHER. The Company currently earns interest income
on cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted investments.

         The Company's interest income and other was $3,259,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $34,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to interest income earned on
the Company's restricted cash and investments.

         INCOME TAXES. The Company is subject to federal, state and foreign
income taxes but has incurred no liability for such taxes due to net operating
losses incurred. Under certain circumstances, these net operating losses could
be used to offset future taxable income. The Company's net deferred tax assets,
which result primarily from the future benefit of these net operating losses,
are fully offset by a valuation allowance for the same amount because of the
uncertainty surrounding the future realization of these net operating loss
carryforwards. However, as the Company expands its fiber optic networks in Chile
and Peru, the Company expects to generate taxable income. Certain tax benefits
could expire prior to the time the Company generates taxable income.

         REVENUES. The Company's revenues were $3,488,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $261,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1997. This increase during the second quarter of 1998 was due to the acquisition
of FirstCom Long Distance. FirstCom Long Distance generated revenues during the
second quarter of approximately $3.2 million through the sale of approximately
10.7 million minutes resulting in an average revenue per minute of approximately
$0.30. FirstCom Network's revenue during the second quarter of 1998 of $214,000
consisted primarily of equipment sales and system integration services.

         COST OF REVENUES. The Company's cost of revenues was $2,898,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $351,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1997. This increase was attributable to the acquisition of
FirstCom Long Distance.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. The Company's selling,
general and administrative expenses were $2,709,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 as compared to $938,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997.
This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of FirstCom Long
Distance. At June 30, 1998 the Company had approximately 190 employees compared
to 150 employees at March 31, 1998.

         DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. The Company's depreciation and
amortization expenses were $577,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 as
compared to $270,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. This increase was
primarily attributable to an increase in depreciation and amortization expense
related to certain assets purchased in the acquisition of FirstCom Long
Distance.

         INTEREST EXPENSE. The Company's interest expense was $5,249,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $315,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1997. This increase was due to financing costs related to the
Senior Notes that were issued on October 21, 1997. Of the total interest costs
incurred by the Company for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,


                                       12
<PAGE>

$437,000 and $368,000, respectively, of such costs were capitalized in
connection with the Company's construction of its fiber optic network in Lima,
Peru.

         INTEREST INCOME AND OTHER. The Company's interest income and other was
$1,498,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $16,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1997. This increase was primarily attributable
to interest income earned on the Company's restricted cash and investments.

         INCOME TAXES. The Company is subject to federal, state and foreign
income taxes but has incurred no liability for such taxes due to net operating
losses incurred. Under certain circumstances, these net operating losses could
be used to offset future taxable income. The Company's net deferred tax assets,
which result primarily from the future benefit of these net operating losses,
are fully offset by a valuation allowance for the same amount because of the
uncertainty surrounding the future realization of these net operating loss
carryforwards. However, as the Company expands its fiber optic networks in Chile
and Peru, the Company expects to generate taxable income. Certain tax benefits
could expire prior to the time the Company generates taxable income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         On October 27, 1997, the Company consummated a Senior Note Offering of
150,000 Units consisting of an aggregate of $150.0 million aggregate principal
amount of 14% Senior Notes due October 27, 2007 (the "Senior Notes") and
5,250,000 Unit Warrants to purchase 5,250,000 shares of Common Stock of the
Company at an exercise price of $4.40 per share. In addition, UBS Securities
LLC, the initial purchaser of the Units in the Senior Note Offering, was granted
2,250,000 warrants to acquire 2,250,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company at
an exercise price of $4.40 per share.

         Approximately $57 million of the proceeds were invested in an escrow
fund (referred to herein on the Company's balance sheet as "Restricted
Investments") for payment of interest on the Senior Notes through October 27,
2000. Under certain circumstances, Restricted Investments may be used for
repayment of principal of the Senior Notes. Restricted investments will be
reduced by $10.5 million on April 27 and October 27 during 1998, 1999 and 2000
to pay interest on the Senior Notes. Approximately $62 million of the proceeds
were deposited in an account controlled by a trustee (referred to on the
Company's balance sheet as "Restricted Cash") for payment of Permitted
Expenditures, as defined in the Indenture.

         The ability of the Company to make scheduled payments with respect to
its indebtedness, including interest on the Senior Notes after October 27, 2000,
will depend upon, among other things, (i) its ability to implement its business
plan, and to expand its operations and to successfully develop its customer base
in its target markets, (ii) the ability of the Company's subsidiaries to remit
cash to the Company in a timely manner and (iii) the future operating
performance of the Company's and its subsidiaries. Each of these factors is, to
a large extent, subject to economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and
other factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control. The Company
expects that it will continue to generate cash losses for the foreseeable
future. The Company has deposited in escrow funds representing interest payments
with respect to the Senior Notes through October 2000. However, no assurance can
be given that the Company will be successful in developing and maintaining a
level of cash flow from operations sufficient to permit it to pay the principal
of, and the interest on the Senior Notes after such time, or with respect to its
other indebtedness. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow
from operations to service its indebtedness, including the Senior Notes, it may
have to modify its growth plans, restructure or refinance its indebtedness or
seek additional capital. There can be no assurance that (i) any of these
strategies can be effected on satisfactory terms, if at all, in light of the
Company's high leverage or (ii) any such strategy would yield sufficient
proceeds to service the Company's indebtedness, including the Senior Notes. Any
failure by the Company to satisfy its obligations with respect to the Senior
Notes at maturity or prior thereto would constitute a default under the
indenture and could cause a default under other agreements governing current or
future indebtedness of the Company.

         Substantially all of the Company's assets are held by its subsidiaries
and substantially all of the Company's sales are derived from operations of such
subsidiaries. Future acquisitions may be made through present or future
subsidiaries of the Company. Accordingly, the Company's ability to pay the
principal of, and interest and liquidated damages, if any, when due, on the
Senior Notes is dependent upon the earnings of its subsidiaries and the
distribution of sufficient funds from its subsidiaries the Company's
subsidiaries will have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to make funds
available to the Company for payment of the principal of, and interest and
liquidated damages on, if any, the Senior Notes. In addition, the ability of the
Company's subsidiaries to make such funds available to the Company may be
restricted by the terms of such subsidiaries' current and future indebtedness,
the availability of such funds and the applicable laws of the jurisdictions
under which such subsidiaries are organized. Furthermore, the Company's
subsidiaries will be permitted under the terms of the indenture to incur
indebtedness that may severely restrict or prohibit the making of distributions,
the payment of dividends or the making of loans by such subsidiaries to the
Company. The failure of the Company's subsidiaries to pay dividends or otherwise
make funds available to the Company could have a material adverse effect upon
the Company's ability to satisfy its debt service requirements including its
ability to make payments on the Senior Notes.

         At June 30, 1998 the Company had $106.2 million of cash and cash
equivalents, restricted cash and restricted investments. The Company believes
its current cash balances should be sufficient to satisfy the Company's
liquidity needs through the end of 1999; however, there can be no assurance that
the Company will have sufficient resources to meet its subsequent liquidity
requirements.

         To accelerate its growth rate and to finance the launch or build-out of
additional markets, the Company will consider obtaining financing from various
sources, including vendor financing provided by equipment suppliers, project
financing from commercial banks and international agencies, bank lines of credit
and the sale of equity and debt securities. To the extent that the Company or
any of its subsidiaries issues debt, its leverage and debt service obligations
will increase. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise
such capital on satisfactory terms, if at all. In addition, the Indenture
related to the Senior Notes will limit the ability of the Company and its
subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness.

         As part of its business strategy, the Company intends to continue to
evaluate potential acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic alliances in
companies that own existing networks or companies that provide services that
complement the Company's existing businesses. The Company continues to consider
potential acquisitions from time to time. New sources of capital such as credit
facilities and other borrowings, and additional debt and equity issuances, may
be used to fund such acquisitions and similar strategic investments.

         Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30,
1998 was $8,113,000. This amount represented cash used to fund the Company's net
loss for the period offset, in part, by an increase in accrued interest on the
Senior Notes.

         Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30,
1998 was $4,886,000. This amount primarily represented the Company's continued
build-out of its fiber-optic network in Peru offset by the use of restricted
cash to fund such build-out. The growth of the Company's fiber networks was
evidenced as route kilometers and fiber kilometers increased from approximately
350km and 12,200km, respectively as of March 31, 1998 to approximately 600km and
18,000km, respectively, as of June 30, 1998. The Company anticipates significant
capital expenditures during the remainder of 1998.

         Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June
30, 1998 was $8,122,000. This amount principally represented the use of
restricted investments to make interest payments on the Senior Notes.
