===============================================================================
1. PRINCIPAL PICK Communications Corp. and Subsidiaries (collectively the
BUSINESS "Company") provide satellite-based Internet access and
ACTIVITY AND interactive multimedia services to end user service
SUMMARY OF providers. In March 1999, the Company formed a new
SIGNIFICANT subsidiary, PICK Online.Com Inc., a media content aggregator
ACCOUNTING using a satellite-based multicast delivery system for
POLICIES: Internet Service Providers and Broadband Networks. The
Company is headquartered and leases facilities in Miami,
Florida.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of PICK Communications Corp. and its wholly
owned subsidiaries, PICK US Inc. f/k/a PICK Inc. ("PICK US"),
PICK Net Inc. ("PICK Net"), PICK Net UK PLC ("PICK Net UK"),
PICK Sat Inc. ("PICK Sat"), PICK Online.Com Inc. ("POL") and
P.C.T. Prepaid Telephone Inc. ("PCT"), a majority-owned
subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated.
The Company plans to discontinue the operations of its
telecommunication and prepaid calling card business
consisting of PICK US, PICK Net and PICK Net UK. (See
note 9).
Minority interest represents the minority stockholders'
proportionate share of the equity and loss of PCT.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In
preparing the consolidated financial statements, management
is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates of
the consolidated balance sheet and revenue and expenses for
the periods then ended. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

===============================================================================
For comparability, certain 1998 amounts have been
reclassified, where appropriate, to conform to the financial
statement presentation used in 1999.
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss
by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted net loss per share is not
presented because the inclusion of common share equivalents
would be antidilutive.
The Company does not believe that any recently issued but not
yet effective accounting standards will have a material
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position,
results of operation or cash flows.
Depreciation of property and equipment is provided for by the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets.
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes. The Company recorded a deferred
tax asset for the tax effect of net operating loss
carryforwards and temporary differences. In recognition of
the uncertainty regarding the ultimate amount of income tax
benefits to be derived, the Company has recorded a full
valuation allowance.

Debt, less current portion $9,880,000 $9,880,000
=====================================================================
(a) Between July 29, 1998 and September 8, 1998, the Company, through
Commonwealth Associates ("Commonwealth"), placed $9,900,000 (face
amount) of 10%, 120-day Senior Secured Notes (the "Original
Notes") and 9,900,000 warrants to purchase 990,000 shares of the
Company's common stock at $5.00 per share for five years (the
"Placement"). The Original Notes are secured by all the assets of
PICK Communications Corp. The Company allocated $8,587,066 of the
gross sales proceeds to the debt and $1,312,934 to the warrants.
The $1,312,934 discount was amortized as interest expense over
the original 120-day life of the Original Notes. In November and
December 1998, the Company exercised its rights to extend the
maturity date of the Original Notes for 60 days. Under the terms
of the Original Notes, the interest rate of the Original Notes
was increased to 18% per annum, retroactive to the issuance of
the Original Notes. In January, February and March 1999, the
holders of the Original Notes agreed to extend the maturity of
the Original Notes until April 27, 1999. In return for the
extensions, the Company agreed to issue 50,012 shares of its
common stock (valued at $265,063) and warrants (valued at
$485,100) to purchase 247,500 shares of the Company's common
stock for five years at $5.00 per share to the holders of the
Original Notes. On April 27,1999, the holders of the Original
Notes, who control in excess of 99% of the principal which was
due on April 27, 1999, consented to restructure their Original
Notes (the "Restructured Notes") and extend the maturity date
until April 27, 2002. Additionally, the Company has the option to
extend the maturity date for one additional year. Under the terms
10

PICK COMMUNICATIONS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

===============================================================================
of the restructuring, the Restructured Notes are convertible to
shares of common stock at $10.00 or less per share (valued at
$7,077,600), as defined in the terms of restructuring. The
Restructured Notes automatically convert to common stock if the
closing bid price exceeds $15.00 per share, as defined. The
Conversion Price shall be reset to a minimum of $5.00 per share
prior to April 27, 2000, if the Company issues any shares of
Common Stock or derivative securities (other than employee stock
options) for less than the Conversion Price or the average
trading price for the 15 trading days preceding April 27, 2000 is
less than the Conversion Price. In addition, if the Company
extends the maturity date for an additional year, the Conversion
Price shall be reduced to 50% of the then market price.
For the Placement of the Original Notes, the Company paid
Commonwealth and Liberty Capital (the Company's co-financial advisor)
$1,099,000 in cash, issued 139,437 shares of common stock (valued at
$865,799) and warrants to purchase 250,986 shares of common stock at
$5.00 per share for five years (valued at $383,002). The costs
related to the Placement were being deferred and amortized as debt
placement expenses over the term of the debt. At December 31, 1998,
all debt placement expenses were amortized and included in the
consolidated statement of operations.
In consideration for the restructuring, the consenting noteholders
will receive the following: the right for a two-year period to
exchange each existing warrant previously issued to the consenting
noteholders for an aggregate of 988,000 shares of the Company's
common stock (valued at $15,604,800). Additionally, the consenting
noteholders may elect the right to receive from the Company an
aggregate of 988,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
In lieu of such shares of stock, the consenting noteholders can elect
to have the conversion price, as defined, reduced to $5.00 per share
(valued at $16,907,660). The consenting noteholders shall have two
years to elect whether to receive the shares of common stock or to
reduce the conversion price.

In consideration of the restructuring of the notes, the
Company issued to Commonwealth 200,000 shares of common
stock (valued at $3,440,000) plus warrants to purchase
50,000 of the Company's common stock at $13.75 per share
(valued at $239,477). Additionally, warrants previously
issued to Commonwealth will be exercisable at $1.00 per
share (valued at $2,046,097).
At June 30, 1999, management believes the cost of the
restructuring has no future value. All deferred interest
and placement charges were written off and included in the
loss on disposal of discontinued operations.

offset future taxable income through the years 2018 and 2003,
respectively.
9. DISCONTINUED On June 23, 1999, the Company formalized its plan to
OPERATIONS: discontinue its telecommunications and prepaid calling card
business consisting of PICK US, PICK Net and PICK Net UK.
Accordingly, the telecommunications and prepaid calling
card business are accounted for as a discontinued operation
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The
Company is in the process of negotiating the sale of PICK
Net and PICK Net UK and the discontinuance of the operation
of PICK US. Management expects the sale and discontinuance
will be completed in or about October 1999 and will reduce
the Company's debt and working captial deficiency.

(a) In February 1998, the Company amended its existing
telecommunications agreement with IDT Corporation ("IDT"), one
of its long distance vendors/customers. Under the terms of the
amendment, the Company agreed to sell IDT up to 10,000,000
minutes per month of long distance traffic, through June 9,
1999, at favorable rates and IDT agreed to lend the Company
$2,000,000. Of this amount, $500,000 was funded when the
transaction was signed, $1,000,000 was funded in April 1998
and the remaining $500,000 was advanced in June 1998.
Concurrently, the Company has issued 100,000 warrants with an
exercise price of $2.40 per share to purchase 10,000 shares of
common stock, 200,000 warrants with an exercise price of
$10.00 per share to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock and
100,000 warrants with an exercise price of $5.60 per share to
purchase 10,000 shares of common stock. The warrants are
exercisable for a period of one year from the respective dates
of grant. Management estimates the value of these warrants

reflected in interest expense in 1998 at $30,879. The
loan bears interest at 9% per annum and matured on
February 9, 1999. The Company is currently negotiating
with IDT to extend the terms of repayment.
The Company and IDT have reached an agreement in principle
to execute a new six-month note in the principal amount of
$2,336,000. The Company has agreed to issue to IDT 40,000
shares of PICK's common stock in exchange for IDT's
warrants to purchase 40,000 shares of PICK's common stock,
which shall be canceled upon such delivery, plus a
restructuring fee of 50,000 shares of PICK common stock.
The Company also agreed to pay $250,000 upon the earlier to
occur of 60 days from the date of execution of the
agreement or the completion of additional financing for at
least $10,000,000 for PICK and shall make six monthly
principal payments of $25,000 each on the last business day
of each month following the issue date of this Note,
beginning on August 31, 1999. In the event PICK elects to
exercise its option to extend the maturity date of the Note
from six months to three years, it shall deliver to IDT
$375,000, payable in immediately available funds or, at the
option of PICK, 37,500 shares of PICK's Common Stock.
Thereafter, PICK agrees to pay IDT $25,000 per month for 12
months, including the six monthly payments described above
beginning on August 31, 1999. Interest is payable monthly
at 8% per annum and the Note will be pre-paid pro rata in
the event the Company prepays any indebtedness over
$2,000,000 including the July 1998 Bridge Notes, as
amended. The Note will automatically convert into common
stock at $10.00 per share if the average price of the
Company's common stock exceeds $15.00 per share for at
least 20 consecutive days. All shares of common stock
issued or issuable to IDT will be included in a
registration statement filed on or before October 27, 1999.
10. LITIGATION AND The Company is, from time to time, party to litigation that
RESERVE FOR arises in the ordinary course of its business operations or
CONTINGENT otherwise. Except as described below, the Company is not
LIABILITY: presently a party to any litigation that it believes would
have a material adverse effect on its business.
In February 1997, the Company commenced a mediation action
against American Telephone & Telegraph ("AT&T") seeking
$10,000,000 in damages for breach of contract and
fraudulent inducement and malicious conduct under a carrier
agreement (the "Carrier Agreement") entered into in
February 1996. The Company contracted with AT&T under the
Carrier Agreement for inbound 800 service and outbound
domestic and international long distance service. The
Company claims that AT&T reneged on certain commitments to
provide the Company with lower international rates than the
Company was invoiced by AT&T. AT&T has claimed that the
16
<PAGE>
Company owes it in excess of $1,000,000. In 1996, the
Company provided for a non-cash reserve of $1,750,000,
which was reduced to $1,100,000 in the third quarter of
1997 and is a part of the Company's working capital
deficiency. The reserve is included in other current
liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements. After two mediation sessions, AT&T indicated
that it intended to withdraw from the mediation.
Accordingly, on November 5, 1997, the Company filed for
arbitration proceedings against AT&T and reduced its claim
to $5,000,000. The trial began on April 19, 1999 and ended
on April 22, 1999. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to prevail in this arbitration. Any
adverse judgment or settlement could have a material impact
on the Company's financial condition.
During March 1999, Worldcom Network Services, Inc., d/b/a
Wiltel, ("Worldcom") commenced a lawsuit against the
Company in the United States District Court, Southern
District of New York, demanding a judgment in the amount of
$1,177,734 and interest at 18% per annum plus costs and
expenses. The plaintiff alleges that the Company failed to
pay for telecommunications services provided. On April 15,
1999, the Company and Worldcom agreed to a Settlement
Agreement. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the
Company agreed to pay Worldcom $1,256,622 (the
"Settlement") in exchange for a full and complete
settlement of Worldcom's lawsuit against the Company. The
Company agreed to pay the Settlement with interest at 16%
per annum on or before January 16, 2000 and for Worldcom to
discontinue, without prejudice, the legal proceedings until
such date, although the Company has the option to extend
the forbearance through January 16, 2001. The Company
agreed to pay Worldcom a 100,000 share restructuring fee.
If the Company repays the Settlement by January 16, 2000,
it shall be entitled to redeem one-half of the shares for
$1.00.
In July 1999, L.D. Exchange.com, Inc., a vendor of PICK
Net commenced arbitration proceedings against PICK
Net before the American Arbitration Association in
San Diego, California, alleging breach of contract. These
proceedings involve the alleged nonpayment of between
$250,000 and $500,000. At June 30, 1999 the Company's
current liabilities included approximately $266,000
payable to L.D.Exchange.com,inc.

===============================================================================
11. GOING CONCERN The accompanying consolidated financial statements have
MATTERS: been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a
going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets
and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of
business. The Company has incurred substantial recurring
losses from operations, has a net capital deficiency in the
amount of approximately $21,180,000 and has a working
capital deficiency of approximately $16,715,000 at June 30,
1999 that raise substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern. In addition, the Company had
negative cash flow from operations in the six-month period
ended June 30, 1999 and the years ended December 31, 1998,
1997 and 1996.
Significant short-term obligations exist including the
payment of a settlement with Worldcom in the amount of
$1,256,622 (see Note 10) and a settlement with IDT to
extend its $2,000,000 loan. (See Note 9(a)) and normal cash
flows from operations. Without the Company's ability to
extend the payout terms of the aforementioned liabilities
or obtain additional long-term financing, as well as
increasing revenue and/or decreasing expenses, the Company
will be unable to continue as a going concern. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability of assets or the
classifications of liabilities should the Company be unable
to continue as a going concern.
Furthermore, the Company is in need of immediate financing
for working capital. If the Company is able to obtain
adequate funding it expects that its operations on a
going-forward basis will be primarily through its PICK Sat
subsidiary, which has only recently commenced operations
and has not generated any revenue to date. The Company has
granted an option to Atlantic Tele-Network, Inc. to sell it
19.9% of the common stock of PICK Sat for $8,000,000, with
an option to acquire an additional 31.1% for up to an
additional $15,000,000. The Company believes that these
plans, if successfully implemented, will enable it to
continue as a going concern. However, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in either
generating positive operating income or raising additional
funds in the immediate future in amounts sufficient to
allow it to continue as a going concern.
12. OTHER MATTERS In March 1999, the board of directors authorized the
AND SUBSEQUENT issuance of 2,000,000 shares of Series B convertible
EVENTS: preferred stock. The Series B convertible preferred stock
has a stated par value of $.001 per share and is
convertible into 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common
stock at the rate of $1.00 per share.
In April 1999, the board of directors authorized the
issuance of 500,000 shares of Series D convertible
preferred stock. The Series D convertible preferred stock
has a stated par value of $.001 per share and is
convertible into 1,190,500 shares of the Company's common
stock at the rate of $4.20 per share. As of June 30, 1999,
the Company had sold an aggregate of 466,000 shares of
Series D convertible preferred stock for $4,660,000 prior
to the payment of $324,500 of preferred stock placement
costs. In
18

===============================================================================
addition, the Company issued an aggregate of 700,000 common
stock purchase warrants in connection with the sale of
Series D convertible preferred stock. Each Warrant is
exercisable at $6.30 per share of common stock for a
two-year period.
On March 3, 1999, the board of directors granted each of
the then four independent directors three-year options to
purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at $5.10 per share.
Those options shall be fully vested on March 3, 2000.
On February 26, 1999, the board of directors of the Company
authorized an increase of the Company's authorized shares
of common stock from 100,000,000 to 400,000,000 shares
which was effective on April 13, 1999.
On July 15, 1999, the Company sold 34,000 shares of Series
D convertible preferred stock for $340,000 to Diego Leiva,
chairman of the board. The purchase is evidenced by a
recourse promissory note secured by a pledge of the
securities.
During July of 1999, the Company's Board of Directors
authorized a one for ten reverse split of its common stock
effective July 23, 1999. All share and per-share amounts in
these consolidated financial statements have been restated
to give effect to the reverse stock split.

<PAGE>
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations:
The following should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements included elsewhere in this Report.
Material Changes in Results of Operations
On June 23, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors voted to sell or discontinue
the telecommunications portion of its business in order to focus on the Internet
services portion of its business conducted through its PICKSat, Inc. ("PICK
Sat") and PICK Online.Com, Inc. ("PICK Online") subsidiaries. Accordingly, the
financial statements reflect the discontinuance of the Company's PICK US, Inc.,
PICK Net Inc., and PICK Net UK PLC. subsidiaries.
In 1999, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, PICK Sat commenced
development of a system to multicast the delivery of Internet Protocol
multi-media content via satellite. Also in March 1999, the Company formed PICK
Online to provide broadband Internet content to users. PICK Sat and PICK Online
are in the development stage and have not generated any revenues to date.
For PICK Sat business, the Company will charge its customers monthly recurring
fees based on type of usage and bandwidth contracted for and may charge an
additional amount per reception location. PICK Online expects to charge a per
subscriber or per site fee to its customers in order for them to receive the
broadband content.
The discontinued subsidiaries generated revenues from the sale of
telecommunication services. These included international long distance service
to carriers and resellers, and revenues derived from prepaid telephone calling
cards to distributors for resale to retail outlets.
The Company's costs of sales for the discontinued operations primarily consist
of the cost of telephone services, for both the resale of international long
distance services and for prepaid telephone calling cards.
For the resale of international long distance, the Company recognized revenues
as its customers used the traffic. For prepaid telephone calling cards sales,
the Company recognized revenues at the time it provided the telephone services
associated with its cards and recognized the cost of the carrier telephone
traffic based on the minutes used in the same periods that the Company
recognized revenues.
20
<PAGE>
Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared with June 30, 1998
Revenues:
The Company's continuing operation's, PICK Sat and PICK Online have yet to
commence commercial operations and as such have not had any revenues.
Costs and Expenses:
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $2,075,703 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 from $455,217 for the six months ended June 30, 1998.
PICKSat was in the organizational phase through the end of the second quarter of
1998 and as such had nominal expenditures in the six months ended June 30, 1998,
therefore, approximately $900,000 of the increase is attributable to the newly
formed subsidiaries, PICK Sat and PICK Online's start-up and development
expenses. The Company also had a significant increase in salaries, outside
consultants, accounting, legal, travel and public relations expense.
Contemporaneous with the Board's decision to sell or discontinue its
telecommunications operations, and layoff or fire the associated personnel, it
needed to retain outside professional services on an interim basis to handle the
functions previously performed by salaried employees. Preparation of public
filings and the negotiation of debt arrangements gave rise to the majority of
the increase in expenses.
On September 17, 1999, the Company agreed to sell its PICK Net operations to
Lebow Investments Ltd., a recently formed corporation ("Lebow"). Lebow agreed to
be financially responsible for the PICK Net operations which have begun to
receive funding to continue operations. The closing of this transaction is
expected to occur in late October 1999 subject to obtaining necessary approvals
and consents.
Discontinued Operations
Total revenues amounted to approximately $5,380,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1999, compared to approximately $2,277,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998, an increase of approximately $3,103,000 prior to the
discontinuance of operations. (See Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for operating results of the discontinued operations.) The Company
significantly curtailed its operations during the first half of 1998, while it
installed and tested two, leased Siemens Digital Central Office Switches. These
switches replaced switching services previously purchased from third party
vendors. Consequently, the Company decided to curtail its marketing efforts for
the sale of international long distance services until it completed this
installation and until it had the capability to deliver traffic through Gulfsat.
Therefore, for the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company generated
international long distance revenue of $3,164,030, compared with $963,018 for
the six months ended June 30, 1998. Prepaid telephone calling card revenues were
$2,215,485 for the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $1,313,495 for
the six months ended June 30, 1998. This latter increase is attributable to
sales to Blackstone Calling Card, Inc. ("Blackstone") under the Company's
agreement with Blackstone, a major marketer and distributor of prepaid telephone
calling cards.
21
<PAGE>
In the discontinued operations, the cost of telephone time purchased increased
from $3,148,694 to $6,835,866. Due to Gulfsat's inability to provide countries
as originally anticipated, these costs increased by a greater amount than the
sales generated by the Company due primarily to the Company's inability to
obtain preferential rates from the common carriers. Additional increases
resulted primarily from the processing costs arising from the increased prepaid
telephone calling card activity sold through Blackstone and long-distance
services.
Loss from Operations:
The Company's loss from continuing operations increased from $468,410 to
$2,118,013 primarily due to the increases in aggregate salaries, selling,
general and administrative costs as PICK Sat and PICK Online continued the
development of their products and offerings and as PICK Sat began to move into
the commercial deployment phase and other expenses as discussed under "Costs and
Expenses" above.
Loss from discontinued operations increased from $2,308,451 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 to $4,364,730 for the six months ended June 30, 1999,
primarily due to the increase in costs discussed above. The Company also
recorded an additional loss on the disposal of the discontinued operations in
the amount of $47,108,711. Of this amount, $46,033,711 is attributable to the
writing off of the deferred interest and debt placement charges of the
restructured notes which amounts are related to the discontinued operations and
therefore will provide no future benefit. See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Material Changes in Financial Condition from December 31, 1998 to June 30, 1999
We are in need of immediate financing for working capital to finance its PICK
Sat and PICK Online subsidiaries. Neither unit have generated any revenues to
date.
We have entered into an option agreement with Atlantic Tele-Network, Inc. (ATN)
to sell them up to 19.9% of the common stock of PICK Sat for $8 million, with an
option to acquire an additional 31.1% for an additional $15 million payable in
500,000 shares of ATN common stock or $l5 million in cash or ATN common stock,
whichever produces the higher value at the time of exercise of the option. The
31.1% option is not exercisable unless the initial 19.9% option is exercised in
full and the initial 60 day option period has not yet commenced. PICK Sat has
obtained interim loans in the amount of $476,000 from ATN for the Company and
its newly formed subsidiaries= operating expenses and will attempt to obtain
additional financing from them in the immediate term. However, should we be
unable to obtain such financing, and are unable to find alternative interim
financing in the near term we will be forced to cutback or suspend operations
and/or seek protection under the bankruptcy 1aws. Although the Company is in
discussions with several sources of financing, there can be no assurance we will
obtain such financing.
22
<PAGE>
Due to the losses discussed above, the Company's working capital deficit
increased from approximately $14,570,000 as of December 31, 1998, to
approximately $16,715,000 as of June 30, 1999, an increase of approximately
$2,145,000, and the stockholders' deficiency changed from approximately a
negative $20,352,000 at December 31, 1998 to approximately $21,184,000 at June
30, 1999, an increase in negative net worth of approximately $832,000.
Current assets decreased by approximately $419,000 primarily due to a decrease
in current assets from discontinued operations. Cash increased by $448,863. This
is the remaining cash from the proceeds of the Company's issuance of Preferred
Stock during the second quarter of 1999. Current liabilities increased by
approximately $1,727,000. This increase is largely due to net increases in
accounts payable and accrued expenses as a result of increased business activity
in the newly formed subsidiaries, funding of continued losses and greater sales
volume, and an increase in current liabilities from discontinued operations
offset, in part, by a decrease in deferred revenue for pre-paid calling cards
and a decrease in the current portion of long term debt of $20,000.
As of June 30, 1999, approximately $17,861,000 of the liabilities of the Company
mature or are subject to payment agreements calling for payment before the end
of 1999. Management is in the process of negotiating with the largest trade
creditors to restructure a substantial portion of this short-term debt. The
Company has reached certain agreements to make a down payment and convert the
balance of the Company's obligation into long-term indebtedness and/or equity
securities of the Company. See Notes 7, 9(a) and 10 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.
We were able to obtain equity investments totaling $6,481,000 during the six
months ended June 30, 1999. Of the total investments, $1,050,000 was recorded
during the first quarter of 1999 and $5,431,000 was record in the second quarter
of 1999.
Due to the restructuring of the $9,900,000 short term notes we recorded an
increase in additional paid in capital of $41,636,097. We also recorded a
beneficial dividend of $25,170,000 associated with the issuance of preferred
stock. Neither of these latter two charges used any cash of the Company.
The Company is pursuing sources of capital in order to repay short-term
indebtedness and to commence operations of its new businesses. While the Company
believes it will be able to continue as a going concern, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful.
The Company has elected to divest or terminate its telecommunication
subsidiaries. We have recorded a charge to retained earnings of $47,108,711, as
the loss on the discontinuance of the telecommunication units. This charge did
not affect cash. The Company has entered into an agreement to divest itself of
PICK Net, Inc. and PICK Net UK, PLC, both of which provide international long
23
<PAGE>
distance services to other carriers and resellers. The Company has terminated
marketing and distributing of prepaid telephone calling cards through PICK US
Inc. It plans to dissolve its PICK US, Inc. unit upon the termination of the
liability due to the outstanding prepaid calling cards. We have entered into a
definitive agreement to sell the stock of the two PICK Net subsidiaries for
nominal value and have a substantial portion of their liabilities assumed, but
there can be no assurance such sale will be concluded. The Company will transfer
operating personnel and its office to the buyer of the PICK Net subsidiaries.
Upon the completion of this sale the operations of the Company will then be
those of PICK Sat and PICK Online.
Material Changes in Cash Flows
Cash increased during the six months ended June 30, 1999, by approximately
$407,000. This increase is attributable primarily to an increase in cash used in
operating activities of approximately $4,719,000 and investing activities of
$1,213,408. This is offset by increases in cash provided by financing activities
of approximately $6,381,000, as described below.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Operating activities used approximately $4,719,000 in cash for the six months
ended June 30, 1999, compared with cash provided of approximately $386,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1998. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the
Company incurred a net loss of approximately $53,591,000, as compared to
approximately $2,777,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The net loss
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 included a loss on disposal of
discontinued operations of approximately $47,109,000. This loss of disposal
included a non-cash debt restructuring charge of approximately $41,636,000 (See
Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) that related to the
businesses being discontinued; the issuance of stock, options and warrants
issued for services in the amount of approximately $4,722,000; none of which
included a cash expense. The increased use of cash in operations also resulted
from the Company's increased sales in the prepaid calling card business under
the Blackstone Agreement and sales of long distance services, which was
partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
The Company's capital expenditures of approximately $1,213,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 increased over the six months ended June 30, 1998 of
$10,133. This increase is attributable primarily to the Company's continued
development of the satellite-based Internet access, interactive multimedia
structures for its PICK Sat and PICK Online subsidiaries.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company had net cash provided by
financing of approximately $6,381,000, as compared to repayments of
approximately $345,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The proceeds are
from the issuance of the Series B and Series D preferred stock during the six
months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the repayments of various debts to third
parties and shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The 1999
amounts were offset by loan repayments and cost attributable to the issuance the
preferred stock.
