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


REVENUES:
---------

Consolidated net revenues for the 1st. Quarter of 1997 were $2,419,000 as
compared to $2,599,000 for the 1st. Quarter of 1996. This is a decrease of
$180,000 or 7%. It was an overall decrease starting with recurring revenues. The
slight reduction in continuing revenues was due to consolidation and
restructuring of various national accounts. In 1996 the Company had unusually
large installation and equipment sales which resulted in a greater increase than
projected.

These revenues have not yet occurred in 1st. Quarter 1997. Sound revenue for
completion of various large equipment contracts did not take place as
anticipated in the 1st. Quarter.


COST AND EXPENSES:
------------------

Cost of sales remained relatively the same in both years as a percentage of
sales. The increase in cost and expenses were due primarily to a greater
emphasis on sales. Additional marketing personnel were hired in each franchise
to expand the recurring revenue base.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION:
------------------------------

Depreciation and amortization increased as a percentage of sales in 1997 due to
certain recurring contracts initiated in 1996 that required the installation of
subscriber equipment that is being depreciated.
<PAGE>
 
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE (NET):
-------------------------------

The decrease in Other Income and Expense is due primarily to the reduction in
interest expenses due to principal payments on its existing loan. Other "Net" is
a compilation of gain or loss on fixed assets, commission earned or allowed,
cancellation fees, bad debt recoveries, bank service charges, discounts earned
or allowed.

INCOME TAXES:
-------------
At March 31, 1997 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal
tax purchases of approximately $2,000,000. Such loss carryforwards expire in
2004 through 2006.

NET INCOME:
-----------
The 1st. Quarter of 1997 was a break even point vs $151,000 or $.07 a share for
the 1st. Quarter of 1996. 

The decrease in earnings were due in part to the decrease in revenue as
explained under Revenues. Increased expenses were incurred in operations by an
increase in sales personnel which should show positive results in the future.

ACQUISITION:
------------

On January 2, 1996 the Company acquired the assets of Florida Sound Engineering
Company holder of the Jacksonville, Florida Muzak(R) franchise. In addition to
the Muzak(R) franchise, the Company also acquired the assets of Florida Sound's
Pro Sound Division (with its accounts receivable, inventory and other equipment)
enabling it to install complex and extensive communication systems. The area of
operations extends beyond Jacksonville to Gainesville, Ocala, St. Augustine, and
into southern Georgia, including Brunswick. The Jacksonville company's name
remained the same, and it 
<PAGE>
 
operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Audio Communications Network, Inc.
Traditionally Muzak(R) franchises generate substantial and sufficient cash flow
and the Company has no reason to believe that the Florida franchise will not
meet the Company's expectations. It already has generated adequate cash flow to
pay the principal and interest on that portion of the loan required to purchase
the Jacksonville franchise.

Subsequent to March 31, 1997 Audio Communications Network, Inc. purchased for
cash ($177,989) all of the assets of Central California Electronics, Inc. a
California corporation located in Fresno. Central California Electronics, Inc.
was a 3M music subscription competitor of Audio Communications Network, Inc.'s
California franchise.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
--------------------------------

Operating cash flows (computed as net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization) have decreased from $835,000 in 1996 to $664,000 in 1997 or
approximately 21%.

On January 2, 1996, the Company and SunTrust entered into a Second Amended and
Restated Loan amendment to this existing loan agreement. This new amendment was
for $11,000,000 and is called a "consolidated loan." It paid off the Company's
indebtedness of $4,810,000 at December 31, 1995 and gave the Company the ability
to purchase for cash the assets of the Muzak(R) franchise in Jacksonville,
Florida and to purchase additional inventory for the Pro Sound Division acquired
in the acquisition. In the new covenants, Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio replaces
the Debt to Net Worth Ratio. 

On March 4, 1997 SunTrust Bank, Central Florida, N.A. agreed to extend an
additional term loan in the principal amount of $270,000 to Audio Communications
Network, Inc. The new loan will be secured by the existing
<PAGE>
 
Security Documents. The purpose of the loan was made to acquire a business in
California (see Acquisition) and to convert those subscribers from SCA to DBS.

In November 1996, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the
"Suncom Asset Purchase Agreement") to acquire substantially all of the assets
and assume the liabilities of Suncom Communications, L.L.C. ("Suncom"). Suncom
owns and operates MUZAK(R) franchises in Hillsborough and Charlotte, North
Carolina and Phoenix, Arizona.

In connection with this transaction, which is expected to be consummated in the
second quarter of 1997, the Company expects that its existing banking facilities
and the current bank facilities of Suncom will be replaced with a combined
banking facility covering both the Company and Suncom. 

All payments of interest and principal on loans outstanding have been made on a
timely basis.
