                          Notes to financial statements

1.           Basis of Presentation

The interim  financial  statements  included  herein have been  prepared by NACT
Telecommunications,  Inc. ("NACT" or the "Company")  without audit,  pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
Certain  information and footnote  disclosures,  normally  included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. These
condensed financial  statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements  and notes  thereto  included  in the  Company's  September  30, 1997
audited  financial  statements  filed as part of the Company's  Annual Report on
Form 10K with the SEC in  December  1997.  In the  opinion  of  management,  the
condensed financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments necessary
to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 1998 and
December  31,  1997,  and the results of its  operations  and cash flows for the
three month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. The results of operations for
the interim periods are not necessarily  indicative of the results of operations
for the full year.

2.          Earnings Per Share

In February  1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB)  issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No., 128, Earnings per Share (SFAS
128). SFAS 128 became effective for financial statements with interim and annual
periods ending after December 15, 1997.  Accordingly,  the Company  adopted SFAS
128 for the quarter ended  December 31, 1997.  SFAS 128  establishes a different
method of computing earnings per common share than was previously required under
the provisions of Accounting  Principles Board Opinion No. 15. SFAS 128 requires
the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per common share.  Basic earnings
per common  share is the amount of  earnings  for the period  available  to each
share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period.  Diluted earnings
per common  share is the amount of  earnings  for the period  available  to each
share of common stock outstanding  during the reporting period and to each share
that would have been outstanding  assuming the issuance of common shares for all
dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The earnings per
common share as previously reported has been restated for all years presented to
adopt the provisions of SFAS 128.

Basic  earnings per share is computed  based on the weighted  average  number of
common  shares  outstanding  during the three month periods ended March 31, 1998
and 1997.  Diluted  earnings per share for the three months  periods ended March
31, 1998 and 1997 is computed  considering the dilutive effect of stock options,
and is not materially different from the basic earnings per share calculations.

3.          Stock Plan

In connection with entering into the a stock purchase agreement with the Company
(the"NACT  Stock  Purchase  Agreement"),  on  January  2, 1998  relating  to the
purchase by WAI of  approximately  63% of  Company's  outstanding  common  stock
("NACT Stock Purchase"), World Access, Inc. ("WAI") entered into option exchange
agreements  (the "Option  Exchange  Agreements")  with the holders of options to
purchase an aggregate of 1,034,032  shares of NACT Common Stock (the  "Exchanged
Options") representing  approximately 99% of all the then-outstanding options to
acquire NACT Common  Stock.  Pursuant to the Option  Exchange  Agreements,  upon
consummation  of the NACT Stock Purchase,  each Exchanged  Option was assumed by
WAI and now  constitutes an option to acquire,  on the same terms and conditions
as were applicable under such Exchanged Option, a number of shares of WAI Common
Stock  equal to (i) the  product  of the number of shares of NACT  Common  Stock
subject to such  

                                       6
<PAGE>

Exchanged  Option (ii)  multiplied  by 0.8390  with an exercise  price per share
equal to (i) the aggregate  exercise  price for such shares of NACT Common Stock
deemed to be purchasable pursuant to such option; provided, however that none of
Exchanged  Options will be incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code
and all such options are now exercisable. As a result of the consummation of the
NACT Stock  Purchase  Agreement on February 27, 1998,  these options will become
exercisable for shares of WAI Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.

As of March 31,  1998,  there  were  4,734  options  to  purchase  Common  Stock
outstanding, which were all exercised in April 1998.

Total Revenues. The Company's revenues increased 42.9% from $6.3 million for the
three  months  ended  March 31,  1997 to $9.0  million  in the  equivalent  1998
quarter.  Product  sales,  which  includes  switching  application  and  billing
systems,  software,  consulting,  and factory support, increased 43.1% from $5.1
million  for the three  months  ended  March  31,  1997 to $7.3  million  in the
equivalent 1998 quarter  primarily due to sales of STX switching and NTS billing
systems  to new  customers  and STX  application  system  upgrades  to  existing
customers. Network carrier sales increased 41.7% from $1.2 million for the three
months  ended  March 31, 1997 to $1.7  million in the  equivalent  1998  quarter
primarily due to increased  carrier usage volumes from existing  network carrier
customers.

Gross Profit.

Product Sales.  The Company's gross profit increased 48.5% from $3.3 million for
the three  months ended March 31, 1997 to $4.9  million in the  equivalent  1998
quarter due to an increase in product sales  resulting  from sales of the higher
margin,  larger port  capacity STX switches  and lower  manufacturing  costs per
unit.  Gross profit on product sales as a percent of product sales was 64.7% and
67.1% for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

Network Carrier Sales.  The Company's gross profit increased 171.7% from $60,000
for the three  months  ended March 31, 1997 to $163,000 in the  equivalent  1998
quarter  primarily due to an increase in network  carrier sales  resulting  from
higher  carrier  usage  volumes from existing  network  carrier  customers and a
decrease in network  carrier rates paid by the Company.  Gross profit on network
carrier  sales as a percent of network  carrier  sales was 4.9% and 9.6% for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

Research  and  Development.  The  Company's  research and  development  expenses
increased  20.0% from  $616,000  for the three  months  ended  March 31, 1997 to
$739,000  in  the  equivalent  1998  quarter  primarily  due to an  increase  in
personnel and other expenditures for planning, design, and completion of several
hardware and software research and development  projects designed to enhance the
STX switching  platform and upgrade the NTS billing system to a new hardware and
software  platform.  Capitalized  software  development  costs were $417,000 and
$208,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

Sales and Marketing.  The Company's sales and marketing expenses increased 49.0%
from  $567,000  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1997 to $845,000 in the
equivalent 1998 quarter  primarily due to the hiring of additional  senior sales
personnel,  international  marketing and selling efforts,  increased advertising
and trade show expenditures,  and increased  commissions paid as a result of the
increase in product sales.

General and  Administrative.  The Company's general and administrative  expenses
increased  69.9% from  $737,000  for the three  months  ended  March 31, 1997 to
$1,252,000 in the equivalent  1998 quarter  primarily due to legal,  accounting,
and investment banking expenses related to the WAI Stock Purchase Agreement with
GST USA, Inc. ("GST USA") and the Merger  Agreement with the Company's  minority
shareholders.

Amortization of Acquired  Intangibles.  The Company has included amortization of
acquired  intangibles  as a  component  of both  cost  of  sales  and  operating
expenses.  These intangibles arose as a result of the acquisition of the Company
by GST USA through a series of purchases of newly issued shares and shares owned
by former  stockholders of the Company.  Such purchases  occurred from September
1993 through  December  1994.  GST USA accounted for the  acquisition  using the
purchase  method of  accounting.  The excess of the purchase price over the fair
value  of the  assets  acquired  was  assigned  by GST  USA as  product  support
contracts,  software  development  costs and goodwill,  and, in accordance  with
requirements  of the SEC, has been included in the balance sheets of the Company
with  related  amortization  recorded in cost of goods sold and other  operating
expenses.  Product support  contracts and software  development  costs are being
amortized over a five year straight-line  period and goodwill is being amortized

                                       9
<PAGE>

over a 20 year  straight-line  period.  In  addition,  the Company  acquired the
customer list of its Eastern Europe network carrier  customer in September 1997.
This  customer  list was  recorded on the  Company's  books at the lower of fair
market value or cost as an intangible  asset,  and is being amortized to cost of
sales over a three year period.

Income Taxes. The Company's  effective tax rate for the three months ended March
31, 1998 was 40.0%.  This is higher than the  respective  statutory  federal and
state tax rates due to amortization of goodwill.  This higher effective tax rate
is expected to continue during the amortization  period of the acquired goodwill
from GST USA.

Fluctuations in quarterly operating results.  Operating results have in the past
and may in the future fluctuate due to factors such as the timing of new product
introductions  by the  Company  and  its  competitors,  delays  in  new  product
introductions by the Company,  market  acceptance of new or enhanced versions of
the Company's  products,  changes in the product or customer mix, changes in the
level of operating expenses,  competitive pricing pressures, the gain or loss of
significant  customers,   increased  research  and  development  and  sales  and
marketing  expenses  associated  with new  product  introductions  and  economic
conditions in general and in the Company's industry.  Due to the high unit price
and long lead times associated with revenues derived from equipment orders,  the
Company's financial results may fluctuate  significantly depending upon the time
of the actual  shipment of such orders.  All of the above  factors are difficult
for the Company to forecast, and these or other factors can materially adversely
affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations for
one quarter or a series of quarters.  The Company's  expense levels are based in
part on its expectations  regarding future sales and are fixed in the short term
to a large extent.  Therefore, the Company may be unable to adjust spending in a
timely  manner  to  compensate  for  any  unexpected  shortfall  in  sales.  Any
significant  decline in demand  relative to the  Company's  expectations  or any
material  delay of customer  orders could have a material  adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.


Liquidity and Capital Resources.  The Company currently finances its operations,
and normal reoccurring  capital  expenditures  through cash flow from operations
and its current cash and short-term  investment  balances.  For the three months
ended March 31, 1998, operating activities provided cash of $1.1 million.

As of March 31, 1998,  the Company had cash,  cash  equivalents  and  marketable
securities  totaling $13.1 million an increase of $0.6 million from December 31,
1997 primarily due to an increase in cash flow from operations.

The Company maintains an unsecured bank line of credit expiring in February 1998
that  provides  borrowings  up to $1.0 million at the bank's prime rate plus one
point.  There were no outstanding draws under the line of credit as of March 31,
1998.

As of March 31,  1998,  the Company was  contingently  liable  under  repurchase
agreements  for  a  maximum  of  approximately  $6.0  million  to  Zions  Credit
Corporation ("Zions"). Zions provides lease financing to the Company's customers
on a recourse  basis.  The Company  maintains a $6.0 million  unrestricted  cash
balance in accordance with conditions of the repurchase agreement.

The  Company  believes  that the March 31, 1998 cash and  marketable  securities
balances,  anticipated  cash flows from  operations  and its line of credit will
satisfy the Company's working capital and capital  expenditure  requirements for
at least the next twelve  months.  However,  there can be no assurance  that the
Company  will not be  required  to seek  additional  capital  sooner  or,  if so
required,  that  adequate  capital will be available on terms  acceptable to the
Company, or at all.

                                       10

Year 2000  Compliance.  The Company  currently sells the NTS 1000 billing system
which will require upgrading by the year 2000 due to its existing  limitation of
using only two digits to  identify  the year in the date  field.  The Company is
planning release of its new billing system,  the NTS 2000 in the second calendar
quarter of 1998 which overcomes the two digit limitation  currently  experienced
on the NTS 1000. Furthermore, the Company is in the process of modifying the NTS
1000 software to overcome the two digit limitation. This modification of the NTS
1000 software is anticipated  to be completed by the first  calendar  quarter in
1999. The company  anticipates the majority of customers will upgrade to the NTS
2000. No assurance can be made that any of the Company's  customers will upgrade
to the NTS  2000 or that  the  modification  to the NTS  1000  software  will be
successful or completed on time.  In the event that a significant  number of the
Company's  customers  do not  upgrade  to the NTS 2000 or the NTS 1000  software
modification  is not  successful,  the Company may incur  expenses and potential
loss of ongoing service revenues.
