On July 17, 2003, AI acquired Southern Maryland Cable, Inc. ("SMC"), by merger of SMC into AI's wholly owned subsidiary, PFLW\SMC Acquisition Corp. ("PAC"). Following the merger, PAC was renamed SMC.

SMC provides communications infrastructure installation and utility construction services to commercial customers and agencies of the United States federal government. For the year ended December 31, 2002, SMC had revenues of approximately $8,808,000. The purchase price of approximately $4,000,000 was satisfied in cash of which $260,000 is being held in escrow. AI also assumed approximately $971,000 of SMC's debt in connection with the acquisition. The Company consummated a private placement on April 29, 2003. The proceeds after offering costs were approximately $9.6 million, a portion of which were used to acquire SMC.

The accompanying unaudited condensed pro forma combined statements of operations present the results of operations of AI and SMC as if the acquisition of SMC had occurred as of February 1, 2002. The pro forma information reflects the total consideration paid. (See Item 2. for details.) SMC reports its results of operations using a calendar year end. In preparing the pro forma information, the Company utilized SMC's December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003 results of operations in the unaudited condensed pro forma combined statements of operations for the year ended January 31, 2003 and the six months ended July 31, 2003. No material events occurred subsequent to SMC's December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003 financial reporting periods which would require adjustment to the Company's unaudited condensed pro forma combined statements of operations. The pro forma data is not necessarily indicative of what the results would have been if the acquisition had occurred on the dates indicated.
