Item 1. Changes in Control of Registrant

            On March 31, 1999, Paging Partners Merger Corporation, a Delaware
      corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, merged (the
      "Merger") with and into Aquis Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation
      ("Aquis"). The purpose of the Merger was to consolidate and combine the
      respective businesses of the Registrant and Aquis in order to provide
      their customers with a more complete product line, expand each company's
      geographic area and realize efficiencies and economies of scale resulting
      from the integration of the two companies' operations. The Registrant is a
      provider of transmission services to resellers of paging services and
      products in the Northeast. Aquis is a provider of paging services,
      products and equipment to retail customers, as well as resellers, in the
      mid-Atlantic region. As a result of the Merger, the former stockholders of
      Aquis collectively acquired approximately 58.5% of the outstanding voting
      securities of the Registrant and the Registrant amended its Certificate of
      Incorporation to change its name from "Paging Partners Corporation" to
      "Aquis Communications Group, Inc." Also in connection with the Merger, all
      of the members of the Registrant's Board of Directors resigned and the
      stockholders of the Registrant elected a new Board of Directors at a
      Special Meeting of Stockholders (the "Special Meeting") held on March 29,
      1999 for the purpose, among other things, of approving the Merger. As a
      result of such election, the size of the Registrant's Board was increased
      from five members to seven members. The Registrant's Board remains divided
      into three classes as before the Merger. The following persons were
      elected as Directors for the following terms:

                              Name              Term
                              ----              ----
                        Patrick M. Egan      Three years
                        Leonard D. Fink      Three years
                        Robert Davidoff      Three years
                        Michael Salerno       Two years
                        Monte Engler          Two years
                        John X. Adiletta      One year
                        John B. Frieling      One year

            In addition, as of the effective time of the Merger, all of the
      executive officers of the Registrant resigned and Messrs. John X. Adiletta
      and D. Brian Plunkett were appointed as President and Chief Executive
      Officer and as Chief Financial Officer, Vice President, Treasurer and
      Assistant Secretary, respectively.

Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

            See Item 1 above for a description of the transaction in which the
      Registrant acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
      Aquis Communications, Inc., a privately-owned Delaware corporation which
      is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant ("Aquis").

            In connection with the Merger, Aquis entered into a First Amendment
      to Loan Instruments (the "Amendment"), amending a certain Loan Agreement
      (the "Loan Agreement") between Aquis, as Borrower, and FINOVA Capital
      Corporation, as Agent for the various lenders ("FINOVA"), which Loan
      Agreement provides for a credit facility in the total amount of
      $30,000,000 (the "Credit Facility"). Concurrently with the Merger, Aquis
      and FINOVA entered into an Equipment Lease pursuant to which Aquis
      conveyed certain listed equipment to FINOVA and FINOVA leased said
      equipment back to Aquis, and the Registrant executed a Guaranty
      guarantying Aquis' obligations under the Equipment Lease. The Registrant
      used the proceeds it received from FINOVA in connection with the Equipment
      Lease to pay off approximately $1,400,000 of secured indebtedness owed by
      the Registrant to Motorola, Inc. In addition, the Registrant executed a
      Security Agreement granting a security interest in

      favor of FINOVA with respect to substantially all of the Registrant's
      assets, a Pledge Agreement granting a pledge in favor of FINOVA with
      respect to all of the capital stock of Aquis and executed a guaranty
      guaranteeing Aquis' obligations under the Loan Agreement. As of the date
      hereof, approximately $20,500,000 of the Credit Facility has been drawn
      down and approximately $9,500,000 remains available.
