PROSPECTUS
 
                                1,400,000 UNITS
                         FIRSTLINK COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
 
               EACH UNIT CONSISTING OF ONE SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
                     AND ONE COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
                               ------------------
 
    FirstLink Communications, Inc., an Oregon Corporation (the "Company"), is
hereby offering to the public 1,400,000 units (the "Units"), each unit
consisting of one share (the "Shares") of common stock, no par value per share
("Common Stock"), and one common stock purchase warrant (the "Warrants"). The
anticipated initial public offering price of the Units is $5.50 per Unit
("Offering Price"), of which $.10 is the public offering price allocated to the
Warrants. Upon completion of the Offering of the Units (the "Offering"), the
Common Stocks and the Warrants will immediately trade separately. Two Warrants
entitle the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $8.10 per
share ("Warrant Exercise Price") during the three-year period commencing on the
date of this Prospectus. The Warrants may be redeemed by the Company at any time
after the date of this Prospectus at a price of $.05 per Warrant on 45 days
written notice if the last sale price of the Common Stock exceeds $12.15 for at
least 20 of the 30 trading days immediately preceding the notice of redemption.
Upon 30 days written notice to all holders of the affected class of Warrants,
the Company shall have the right to reduce the exercise price and/or extend the
term of the Warrants. The Units, Common Stock, and Warrants offered hereby are
sometimes herein collectively referred to as the "Securities." See "Description
of Securities."
 
    Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Common Stock
or the Warrants, and there can be no assurance that such a market will develop
after the effectiveness of the Offering. The offering price (the "Offering
Price") has been determined by negotiation between the Company and Kashner
Davidson Securities Corporation, Joseph Charles & Associates, Inc. and Joseph
Dillon & Company, Inc. (the "Representatives"), as representatives of the
several Underwriters ("Underwriters"). For a discussion of factors considered in
determining the Offering Price and the Warrant Exercise Price, see
"Underwriting."
 
    The Representatives are currently negotiating with prospective underwriters
who may or may not become market makers in the Securities, but no additional
market makers for the Securities have been specifically identified at this time.
The Common Stock and Warrants have been approved for quotation on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market under the symbols "FLCI," and "FLCIW" and they have been
approved for listing on the Boston Stock Exchange under the symbols "FSL," and
"FSLW."

    When included in this Prospectus, the words "expects," "intends,"
"anticipates," "plans," "projects," and "estimates," and analogous or similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause
actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements made
in this Prospectus are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks
and uncertainties. The Company's plans and objectives are based, in part, on
assumptions involving the growth and expansion of business. Assumptions relating
to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future
economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all
of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are
beyond the control of the Company. Although the Company believes that its
assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the
assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance
that the forward-looking statements made in this Prospectus will prove to be

forward-looking statements made in this Prospectus, particularly in view of the
Company's early stage of operations, the inclusion of such information should

                                  THE COMPANY
 
    The Company is a telecommunications company based in Portland, Oregon, that
provides integrated telecommunications and entertainment services to
multi-family apartment and condominium complexes. The Company offers a variety
of services to tenants including the following:
 
    - Cable television
    - Local telephone
    - Long distance telephone
    - Enhanced calling features, such as:
 
<TABLE>
<S>                                    <C>
- - Call waiting                         - Call forwarding
- - Conference calling                   - Distinctive ringing
- - Account coding                       - Speed dialing
- - Restricted access dialing            - Wake-up service
- - Voice mail
</TABLE>
 
    - High Speed Internet access
    - Telephone calling cards
 
    Industry sources estimate that the market for US telecommunications services
represents approximately $210 billion. This includes local and long distance
telephone service and cable television. Management estimates that approximately
$7 billion of this figure is represented by the approximately 6 million
apartments in buildings of 200 units or more in the United States.
 
    The Company currently leases telephone transmission facilities from U S West
Communications, Inc. ("USWC"), LDDS Worldcom and Frontier Communications. Cable
television signal is acquired by the Company from TCI Cablevision of Oregon,
Inc., a subsidiary of Tele-Communications, Inc. ("TCI"); and KBL Cablesystems of
the Southwest, a Time Warner company. Switching hardware used by the Company is
manufactured by Cortelco, formerly ITT Solid State, and Digital
Telecommunications Inc. Its high speed Internet services provider is GTE
Intelligent Network Services, Inc. The Company's Internet line provides access
speed, over existing telephone lines using standard equipment, of 1.544 Mb per
second, or approximately 27 times faster than the 56 kilobytes per second
provided by dial-up modems for use over existing telephone lines.
 
    These services are all offered under the Company's service mark to tenants
of apartment and condominium complexes (referred to collectively herein as
"apartments") which are under exclusive contracts with the Company. The services
that are provided to the tenant are "transparent" to him; he does not have to
acquire additional equipment or utilize special procedures to utilize the
services. When a new tenant at a property which has a contract with the Company
signs a service agreement with the Company, the Company assigns the tenant a
telephone number, and installs all requested services in the tenant's apartment
prior to the time the tenant moves in. All services are installed prior to
tenant move-in, thereby eliminating the need to arrange for multiple
installations by multiple vendors. One customer service number covers all
potential service and inquiry needs. One bill is rendered to the tenant at the
end of the month integrating all services provided. Payment is accepted by cash,
check, wire transfer or credit card. In
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
addition, all services are believed to be offered at or below retail market
prices. The tenant may retain his existing telephone number if allowed by the
incumbent local exchange carrier. There are no fees or interruptions of service
for tenants transferring to FirstLink from another supplier.
 
    The Company provides additional incentives to the property manager or owner,
including the benefit of dealing with a single provider for all communication
services; the ability to offer tenants a complete, integrated package of
communication and entertainment services; and the ability to maintain or improve
occupancy rates by attracting and retaining tenants for whom communications and
entertainment services are important. The property manager or owner and leasing
agents also benefit from the receipt of commissions and further incentives for
successfully marketing the Company's service.
 
    The Company currently has long-term contracts with 20 residential
developments in six cities in the United States, including properties owned by
Harsh Investment Corp, Paine Webber, and an affiliate of Prudential Insurance
Company of America. Eleven of those properties were on-line as of the date of
this Prospectus. The properties contain 4,661 apartment units.
 
    The Company has been able to obtain contracts with building owners and
tenants in the Portland area. It intends to expand to other cities through
arrangements with companies that have established relationships with MDU's in
those cities. As an example, it recently entered into a letter of intent with
Web Service Company, Inc. ("WEB"), one of the largest providers of coin operated
laundry equipment and other services to apartment and condominium complexes in
the United States. Initially, WEB will market the Company's services to the 590
apartment complexes which WEB presently supplies ancillary services in Seattle,
Denver, Dallas, and the San Francisco Bay area, which represent approximately
150,000 units. See "Business--General" and "Business--WEB Agreement."
 
    The Company believes that WEB, which has been in business for over 50 years,
has developed the credibility and recognition with property owners and managers
that will allow the Company to expand into its target markets more rapidly, with
greater penetration levels, and more cost effectively than it could do on its
own.
 
    Approximately $40,000 of the proceeds of this Offering will be used by the
Company to fulfill its obligations under its current contracts in Portland. An
additional $3,652,000 will be used to purchase equipment for additional
expansion in Portland and expansion into five additional cities. Approximately
$2,097,000 of the proceeds will be used to pay additional overhead to service
apartments in those cities. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
    The Company's executive offices are located at 190 SW Harrison, Portland,
Oregon 97201, where its telephone number is (503) 306-4444.

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
    THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY ARE SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF
RISK. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY OF THE
LOSS OF THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY'S SECURITIES AND, ALONG WITH EACH
OF THE FOLLOWING FACTORS, CONSIDER THE INFORMATION SET FORTH ELSEWHERE IN THIS
PROSPECTUS.
 
RISK FACTORS RELATED TO THE BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY
 
    INDEPENDENT AUDITORS RAISE SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO
CONTINUE AS GOING CONCERN.  The Company has only a limited operating history
upon which investors may base an evaluation of the likely performance of the
Company. Although certain of the directors and officers of the Company have
experience in managing businesses in related industries, they have only limited
experience in developing and operating shared tenant services. Any failure to
successfully develop or operate future properties could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company and its predecessors have generated operating revenues only since
September 1994. From inception through March 31, 1998, the Company has recorded
an accumulated deficit of $1,360,321. Management expects that the Company will
continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. The continuation of the
Company for an extended period is dependent upon achieving adequate profit
margins to realize profitable operations. There can be no assurance that the
Company will realize earnings from operations or net profits. The Company has
funded its operations to date through the private sale of equity and debt
securities. The Company's independent auditors have included in their audit
report an explanatory paragraph which states that the Company's recurring losses
from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations."
 
    DEPENDENCE ON PROCEEDS OF THIS OFFERING; NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL.  The
Company is dependent on and intends to use virtually all of the net proceeds of
the Offering to purchase switches and related equipment necessary to provide
local telephone service in the Company's new and existing markets, fund the
increased working capital requirements associated with the Company's planned
market expansion, and enhance the Company's billing and customer care systems to
support the growing customer base.
 
    DEPENDENCE UPON TCI.  Nearly all of the apartment and condominium complexes
the Company has under contract utilize TCI to provide cable service. The Company
has negotiated exclusive agreements with TCI to provide such service on a
complex-by-complex basis. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to continue to negotiate cable service rates with TCI that are economically
feasible for the Company; or that it will be able to enter any such agreements
with cable companies in areas not served by TCI. If it is unable to obtain such
agreements, the Company's ability to provide its services to new complexes may
be severely adversely affected.
 
    POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECT OF INSUFFICIENT CABLE PENETRATION.  Under its
exclusive agreements with TCI, the Company pays TCI a monthly rate based on the
number of units in a complex, regardless of the number of subscribers to cable
service in the complex. The Company makes assumptions about the number of
subscribers that will purchase cable in the complex to determine the rate it can
afford to pay TCI. However, it is required to pay TCI regardless of the actual
subscription base of a particular complex. Accordingly, there is a risk that the
Company over-estimated the number of cable subscribers it will obtain in a
complex, which would have an adverse impact on its results of operations. See
"Business--Key Suppliers."
 
    UNCERTAIN ABILITY TO MANAGE GROWTH.  The Company intends to pursue an
aggressive growth strategy involving the development of customers in new
markets. This growth strategy will require, among other changes, expanded
operational and financial systems and the implementation of new control
procedures. The Company's future operating results will depend on its ability to
develop its infrastructure commensurate with revenues and on its ability to
attract, hire and retain skilled employees. There can be no
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
assurance that the Company will be able to provide adequate services in areas in
which it wishes to expand or otherwise execute its business strategy, and its
ability to grow may be adversely affected thereby.
 
    There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to manage any growth
effectively. Failure to manage growth effectively could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, although the Company's management information systems ("MIS") are
adequate for its present level of business, as the Company expands it will need
to up-grade such systems. The Company will use a portion of the proceeds of this
Offering to acquire computer hardware, programming, and software to up-grade its
MIS. However, it is likely that the new systems will require a period of time
for the Company to adjust to the them and to integrate its existing future
business into such systems. The Company's billing and customer service may be
adversely affected by any delays in implementing such a system. See
"Business--Management Information Systems."
 
    DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL.  The success of the Company is highly dependent
upon the continued services of A. Roger Pease, its President and Chief Executive
Officer, and Jeffrey S. Sperber, its Chief Financial Officer. The loss of the
services of such key personnel could adversely affect the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations. The Company will require the
services of additional executive personnel in the future. The Company has no
employment agreements or non-compete agreements with any of its key personnel.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in attracting and
retaining the personnel it requires to develop and operate its facilities or to
expand its operations. The Company does not carry key man life insurance on any
of its personnel. After the completion of this Offering, the Company will
attempt to obtain key man insurance on Roger Pease, Jeffrey Sperber, and David
Deluhery. See "Management."
 
    COMPETITION.  General and local market conditions, including, among others,
the presence of competing companies, may materially and adversely affect the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The
competition in the telecommunications services industry is intense. Competitive
factors include location and quality of facilities, price and quality of
service. Competition may increase as a result of deregulation, allowing more
companies to enter the market for local telecommunications services, many of
which have held monopoly positions in the marketplace. Although the Company
believes it offers services that are superior to or more convenient than
competing services, many of the Company's existing and future competitors may
have financial, marketing and other resources that substantially exceed those
available to the Company. See "Business--Competition."
 
    DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION DELAYS.  The Company's growth strategy is
dependent upon its ability to attract and retain additional customers. The
successful development of new customers will depend upon various factors,
including the availability of suitable sites, the ability of the Company to
successfully service contracts to meet construction schedules and budgets, and
the extent to which the Company otherwise performs in accordance with
expectations. Development and construction delays could have a material adverse
impact on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
    MANAGEMENT'S LACK OF VOTING INFLUENCE.  Upon consummation of the Offering,
the Company's President, A. Roger Pease, will beneficially own 186,667 shares of
Common Stock, including vested options exercisable to acquire an additional
80,000 shares of Common Stock, together representing 5.1% of the total issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock following completion of the Offering. All
of the Company's officers and directors as a group beneficially own only 442,647
shares of Common Stock, including vested options. Even giving effect to the
exercise of their outstanding and vested options, the Company's officers and
directors as a group would exercise voting control over only 11.8% of the
Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock following completion of the
Offering. As a result of this lack of voting influence as stockholders, there
can be no assurance that the Company's officers and directors will be able to
implement the plans and strategies described in this Prospectus. Further, it is
possible that stockholders with greater voting influence could initiate actions
which could be adverse to
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
those plans or hostile to current management. See "Security Ownership of
Management and Principal Stockholders."
 
    INDEMNIFICATION AND EXCULPATION.  To the extent permitted by Oregon law, the
directors of the Company will not be liable to the Company or its stockholders
for monetary damages for conduct as directors. The Company's Articles of
Incorporation permit, and its Bylaws require, the Company to indemnify its
directors and officers against all damages incurred in connection with the
business of the Company to the fullest extent provided or allowed by law. The
exculpation provisions may have the effect of preventing stockholders from
recovering damages against the directors of the Company caused by their
negligence, poor judgment or other circumstances. The indemnification provisions
may require the Company to use its assets to defend the directors and officers
of the Company against claims, including claims arising out of their negligence,
poor judgment, or other circumstances. The Company has also entered into
indemnity agreements with each of its directors and officers.
 
    RELIANCE ON MANAGEMENT.  All decisions with respect to the management of the
Company will be made exclusively by the management. The stockholders will not
have any right or power to take part in the management of the Company. No
prospective investor should purchase any of the Securities offered hereby unless
the investor is willing to entrust all aspects of the management of the Company
to the Management. See "Management."
 
    COMPENSATION PAYABLE TO MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS REGARDLESS OF
PROFITABILITY.  The officers of the Company will receive salaries, presently
totaling $305,000 per year, which will be payable to them whether or not the
Company is profitable. The Company does not have employment contracts with any
of its officers. Upon completion of the Offering the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors of the Company will negotiate employment contracts with
Messrs. Pease, Sperber, and Deluhery. All service performed by and compensation
paid to Messrs. Pease, Sperber, and Deluhery will be performed pursuant to and
paid under those employment agreements. See "Management--Executive
Compensation."
 
    NO ASSURANCE OF PROFITS--RISK OF LOSS OF INVESTMENT.  There is no assurance
that the Company will generate profits, or that its securities will appreciate
in value or that investors will be able to sell the securities acquired in the
Offering at a profit. The marketability and value of the Company's business will
depend upon many factors beyond the control of the Company, and there is no
assurance that there will be a ready market for the business operated by the
Company. Investors may risk the entire loss of their investment.
 
    YEAR 2000 EFFECT.  While the Company believes that its software applications
are year 2000 compliant, there can be no assurance until the year 2000 occurs
that all systems will then function adequately. Further, if the software
applications of local exchange carriers, long distance carriers, cable providers
or others on whose services the Company depends are not year 2000 compliant, it
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and
results of operations and the value of the Securities.
 
    GOVERNMENT REGULATION.  The business of the Company is subject to extensive
and changing laws and regulations, including those of the Federal Communications
Commission ("FCC") and state and local regulatory bodies such as public utility
commissions ("PUC"). Many of the operations of the Company are subject to
licensing requirements of federal, state and local law. The United States
Congress, the FCC, and state and local regulatory bodies in the past have
adopted, and may in the future adopt, new laws, regulations and policies
regarding a wide variety of matters that could affect the operations of the
Company's business. No assurance can be given that changes in current or future
regulations adopted by the United States Congress, the FCC, or state or local
regulatory bodies or legislative initiatives could not have a material adverse
effect on the Company. See "Business--Government Regulation."
 
                                       10
<PAGE>
RISK FACTORS RELATED TO THE OFFERING
 
    POSSIBLE DEPRESSIVE EFFECT ON EARNINGS OF ISSUANCE OF WEB WARRANTS.  The
Company has entered into a letter of intent with WEB to market the Company's
services to apartment complexes. Under the proposed contract, WEB will have the
right to earn warrants (the "WEB Warrants") to purchase shares of the Company's
Common Stock on the basis of warrants to purchase 25 shares of Common Stock for
each customer WEB obtains a service agreement with the Company. WEB can earn
warrants to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock over the five year
term of the Agreement. The exercise price of the WEB Warrants will be the public
offering price of the Units sold in this Offering. Issuance of the WEB Warrants
will significantly dilute the ownership of present shareholders and of those
persons who invest in this Offering. Additionally, when Warrants are issued to
WEB, the Company will report a charge to its earnings (if any) equivalent to the
difference between the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the WEB
warrants are issued (if greater than the WEB Warrant exercise price) and the WEB
Warrant exercise price. Any resulting decrease in earnings (or increase in
losses) may have a depressive effect on the market price of the Company's Common
Stock. See "BUSINESS--The WEB Agreement."
 
    BROAD DISCRETION IN APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS.  The proceeds to the Company
from the Offering, net of the expenses of the Offering, will be approximately
$6,539,000, all of which will be used at the discretion of management in
furtherance of the Company's business plan. Although the Company has tentatively
allocated the net proceeds from this offering for certain broad uses, the
projected expenditures are estimates and approximations and do not represent
firm commitments of the Company. The proceeds will be used primarily to expand
into new buildings for which no contracts presently exist, and for marketing.
Accordingly, management of the Company has broad discretion to adjust the
application and allocation of the net proceeds of this offering, in order to
address changed circumstances and opportunities. In the event that the Company's
plans change, or if the proceeds of this offering, the Company's results of
operations or cash flow prove to be insufficient to fund operations, the Company
may find it necessary to reallocate some or all of the proceeds from the
offering. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
    DILUTION.  As of March 31, 1998, the Company had sold the 2,164,063 shares
of Common Stock outstanding at an average cost per share of approximately $.93,
which is $4.57 per share less than the Offering Price. In February-March 1998,
the Company sold units which were essentially identical to the Units offered
hereby at $2.25 per unit. At March 31, 1998, the Company had a net tangible book
value (total assets less total liabilities and intangible assets) of $578,099 or
$.27 per share of Common Stock outstanding, based on 2,164,063 shares issued and
outstanding. Giving effect to the sale of 1,400,000 Units by the Company in the
Offering, after deduction of the expenses of the Offering, the Company will have
a net tangible book value of approximately $7,117,099 or $2.00 per share.
Investors in the Offering will sustain an immediate substantial dilution of
$3.50 (64%) of their price per share. See "Dilution."
 
    NO MARKET FOR SECURITIES; ARBITRARY DETERMINATION OF PRICES.  There has been
no market for the Common Stock or Warrants of the Company prior to the effective
date of the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part, and there
is no assurance that an active public trading market for the Securities will
develop or be sustained in the foreseeable future. In the absence of a public
market for those securities, the public offering price of the Units and the
exercise price of the Warrants were determined by negotiations between the
Representative and the Company. Among the factors considered in determining the
Offering Price and the Warrant Exercise Price were the prospects for the
Company, an assessment of the industry in which the Company operates, an
assessment of management, the number of shares of Common Stock and Warrants
offered, the price the purchasers of such securities might be expected to pay
given the nature of the Company, and the general conditions of the securities
markets at the time of the Offering. Accordingly, the offering prices set forth
on the cover page of this Prospectus or the exercise price of the Warrants
should not be regarded as indications of the actual value of the Company or the
Securities or of any future market price of the Company's Common Stock.
Moreover, there can be no assurance that the market price of the Securities will
not decline following the Offering, or that
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
investors will be able to sell any of the Securities purchased hereunder at a
price equal to or greater than the prices paid therefor.
 
    UNDERWRITERS' INFLUENCE ON THE MARKET.  A significant number of Units will
be sold to customers of the Underwriters. Such customers may subsequently engage
in transactions for the sale or purchase of the Securities through or with the
Underwriters. Although they have no legal obligation to do so, the Underwriters
from time to time in the future may make a market in and otherwise effect
transactions in the Securities. To the extent the Underwriters do so, they may
be a dominating influence in any market that might develop and the degree of
participation by the Underwriters may significantly affect the price and
liquidity of the Securities. Such market making activities, if commenced, may be
discontinued at any time or from time to time by the Underwriters without
obligation or prior notice. Depending on the nature and extent of the
Underwriters' market making activities and retail support of the Company's
securities at such time, the Underwriters' discontinuance could adversely affect
the price and liquidity of the Securities.
 
    REGULATORY HISTORY OF UNDERWRITER.  Kashner Davidson Securities Corporation
("Kashner"), one of the Representatives in this Offering, is currently involved
in a regulatory proceeding brought by the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") in which the NASD has alleged certain violations of NASD
Regulations in connection with certain trading activity in municipal securities.
In addition to that pending matter, within the past five years Kashner has
settled and resolved three other regulatory proceedings brought by the NASD or
the Commission involving alleged violations of NASD Regulations or securities
laws. There can be no assurance of the effect, if any, of Kashner's pending or
prior regulatory history on its activities in the Company's securities following
completion of this Offering. See "Underwriting".
 
    POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICES; PENNY STOCK RULES.  The
over-the-counter markets for securities such as the Securities offered hereby
historically have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations during
certain periods. These broad market fluctuations and other factors, such as new
product developments and trends in the Company's industry and investment markets
generally, as well as economic conditions and quarterly variations in the
Company's results of operations, may adversely affect the market price of the
Company's Common Stock. Although applications have been made to have the
Securities be approved for quotation on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market, even if the
applications are initially approved, there can be no assurance that they will
remain eligible to be included on Nasdaq. In the event that the Securities were
no longer eligible to be included on Nasdaq, they could be subject to rules
adopted by the Commission regulating broker-dealer practices in connection with
transactions in "penny stocks" which could materially, adversely affect the
liquidity of the Company's securities. The regulations define a penny stock as
any equity security not listed on a regional or national exchange or NASDAQ that
has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.
The material, adverse effects of such designation could include, among other
things, impaired liquidity with respect to the Company's securities and
burdensome transactional requirements associated with transactions in the
Company's securities, including, but not limited to, waiting periods, account
and activity reviews, disclosure of additional personal financial information
and substantial written documentation. These requirements could lead to a
refusal of certain broker-dealers to trade or make a market in the Company's
securities. See "--Penny Stock Regulation."
 
    SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE.  As of June 30, 1998, 2,190,917 shares of
the Company's Common Stock were issued and outstanding, all of which are
"restricted securities." Those shares may, under certain circumstances, in the
future, be sold in compliance with Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act.
Holders of 935,556 shares of Common Stock, 188,888 Warrants, and 94,444 shares
of Common Stock underlying those Warrants have agreed not to sell those
securities for a period of one year after the date of this Prospectus. The
holders of an additional 159,467 shares and 961,317 shares have agreed not to
sell their shares for periods of six months and one year, respectively, after
the date of this Prospectus without the Representatives' prior written consent.
In general, under Rule 144, subject to the satisfaction of certain other
conditions, a person, including an affiliate of the Company, who has
beneficially owned restricted
 
                                       12
<PAGE>
shares of Common Stock for at least one (1) year is entitled to sell, within any
three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of
the total number of outstanding shares of the same class, or if the Common Stock
is quoted on Nasdaq or a stock exchange, the average weekly trading volume
during the four (4) calendar weeks immediately preceding the sale. A person who
presently is not and who has not been an affiliate of the Company for at least
three (3) months immediately preceding the sale and who has beneficially owned
the shares of Common Stock for at least two (2) years is entitled to sell such
shares under Rule 144 without regard to any of the volume limitations described
above.
 
    The Company is authorized to grant options to purchase 533,333 shares of
Common Stock pursuant to a stock option plan for key employees, officers, and
directors (the "Plan"). As of May 15, 1998, stock options to purchase 533,333
shares of Common Stock have been granted under the Plan. See
"Management--Executive Compensation-Stock Options and Option Plans." Although
the Company has no present plans to register for sale under the Securities Act
shares issuable upon exercise of the options granted pursuant to the Plan, if it
should do so, when the options are exercised and the shares issued they would be
freely tradeable, except for certain limitations imposed upon directors,
officers and affiliates who exercise options granted under the Plan.
 
    No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that sales of shares of
Common Stock or the availability of such shares for sale will have on the market
prices prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, the possibility that
substantial amounts of Common Stock may be sold in the public market may
adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Common Stock and could impair
the Company's ability to raise capital in the future through the sale of equity
securities. Actual sales or the prospect of future sales of shares of Common
Stock under Rule 144 may have a depressive effect upon the price of the Common
Stock and the market therefor.
 
    AUTHORIZATION OF PREFERRED STOCK.  The Company's Articles of Incorporation,
as amended, authorize the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
no par value. The Board of Directors has been granted the authority to fix and
determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred shares, as well as
the authority to issue such shares, without further stockholder approval. As a
result, the Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of
preferred stock which would grant to holders preferred rights to the assets of
the Company upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend coupons before
dividends would be declared to common stockholders, and the right to the
redemption of such shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of
Common Stock. Common stockholders have no redemption rights. The issuance of any
series of preferred stock under certain circumstances could adversely affect the
voting power or other rights of the holders of Common Stock, and under certain
circumstances, be used as a means of discouraging, delaying or preventing a
change in control of the Company. The Company does not presently intend to issue
any Preferred Stock. See "Description of Securities."
 
    AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL SHARES.  The Company's Articles of
Incorporation, authorizes the issuance of up to 20,000,000 shares of Common
Stock, of which 2,190,917 shares were outstanding on June 30, 1998. The
Company's Board of Directors has the authority to issue additional shares of
Common Stock and to issue options and warrants to purchase shares of the
Company's Common Stock without stockholder approval. Future issuance of Common
Stock could be at values substantially below the Offering Price in the Offering
and therefore could represent further substantial dilution to investors in the
Offering. In addition, the Board could issue large blocks of voting stock to
fend off unwanted tender offers or hostile takeovers without further stockholder
approval.
 
    MARKET OVERHANG FROM OUTSTANDING OPTIONS AND WARRANTS.  Immediately after
the Offering the Company will have outstanding 533,333 options to purchase
shares of Common Stock which have been granted under the Plan. All of the
options granted under the Plan have exercise prices which were at or above the
fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Additionally the
Company will not grant non-qualified options with an exercise price of less than
85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. The
Company will also have Common Stock purchase warrants ("Private Warrants")
 
                                       13
<PAGE>
exercisable to purchase 357,000 shares of Common Stock at exercise prices
ranging from $.75 - $3.00 per share; 700,000 shares underlying the Warrants
issued in this Offering; and an additional 94,444 shares underlying warrants
that convert into warrants identical to the Warrants. The Company may also issue
warrants (the WEB Warrants) to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock
to WEB. (The options, Private Warrants and WEB Warrants will be referred to as
the "Derivative Securities.") To the extent that such Derivative Securities are
exercised or converted, dilution to the interests of the Company's stockholders
may occur. Exercise or conversion of the Derivative Securities, or even the
potential of their exercise or conversion may have an adverse effect on the
trading price and market for the Company's Common Stock. The holders of the
Derivative Securities are likely to exercise or convert them at times when the
market price of the shares of Common Stock exceeds their exercise price.
Accordingly, the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the
Derivative Securities may result in dilution of the equity represented by the
then outstanding shares of Common Stock held by other stockholders. Holders of
the Derivative Securities can be expected to exercise them at a time when the
Company would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital on terms
which are more favorable to the Company than the exercise terms provided by such
Derivative Securities. See "Description of Securities" and "BUSINESS--The WEB
Agreement."
 
    CURRENT PROSPECTUS AND STATE BLUE SKY REGISTRATION REQUIRED TO EXERCISE
WARRANTS.  The Company will be able to issue shares of its Common Stock upon the
exercise of Warrants only if there is a current prospectus relating to the
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants under an effective
registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and
such Common Stock is then qualified for sale or exempt therefrom under
applicable state securities laws of the jurisdictions in which the various
holders of Warrants reside. Although the Company has undertaken to maintain the
effectiveness of a current Prospectus covering the Common Stock underlying the
Warrants, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
maintaining a current registration statement. The Warrants, therefore, may be
deprived of any value if for any reason a current prospectus covering the Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is not kept effective.
 
    WARRANTS SUBJECT TO REDEMPTION.  Two Warrants will entitle the holder to
purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to $8.10 per Share
commencing from the effective date of this Prospectus. The Warrants are
redeemable by the Company for $.05 per Warrant at any time after the date of
this Prospectus upon at least forty-five (45) days prior written notice provided
(a) the closing high bid price of the Common Stock for twenty consecutive
trading days within the thirty-day period preceding the date of the notice of
redemption equals or exceeds $12.15; and (b) the Company has in effect a current
registration statement with the Commission registering the Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants. In the event the Company exercises the right to
redeem the Warrants, a holder would be forced either to exercise the Warrants
within the period of the notice of redemption (which could occur at a time when
it may be disadvantageous to do so), to sell the Warrants at the then current
market price when the holder might otherwise wish to hold them, or to accept the
redemption.
 
    PENNY STOCK REGULATION.  In the event that the Company is unable to satisfy
the maintenance requirements for the Nasdaq Small Cap Market and its Common
Stock falls below the minimum bid price of $5.00 per share for the initial
quotation, trading would be conducted on the "pink sheets" or the NASD's
Electronic Bulletin Board. In the absence of the Common Stock being quoted on
Nasdaq, or listed on an exchange, trading in the Common Stock would be covered
by Rule 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act") if the Common Stock is a "penny stock." Under such rule,
broker-dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than established
customers and accredited investors must make a special written suitability
determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to
a transaction prior to sale. Securities are exempt from this rule if the market
price is at least $5.00 per share.
 
                                       14
<PAGE>
    The Commission adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be
any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share,
subject to certain exceptions. Such exceptions include an equity security listed
on Nasdaq, and an equity security issued by an issuer that has (i) net tangible
assets of at least $2,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation
for three years, (ii) net tangible assets of at least $5,000,000, if such issuer
has been in continuous operation for less than three years, or (iii) average
revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the preceding three years. Unless an
exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any
transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the
penny stock market and the risks associated therewith.
 
    If the Company's Common Stock were to become subject to the regulations
applicable to penny stocks, the market liquidity for the Common Stock and
Warrants would be severely affected, limiting the ability of broker-dealers to
sell the common Stock and Warrants and the ability of purchasers in this
Offering to sell their Common stock and Warrants in the secondary market. There
is no assurance that trading in the Common Stock and Warrants will not be
subject to these or other regulations that would adversely affect the market for
such securities.
 
    NON-REGISTRATION IN CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS OF SHARES UNDERLYING THE
WARRANTS.  Although the Common Stock and the Warrants will not knowingly be sold
to purchasers in jurisdictions in which they are not registered or otherwise
qualified for sale, purchasers may buy the Common Stock or Warrants in the
aftermarket or may move to jurisdictions in which the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are not so registered or qualified during
the period that the Warrants are exercisable. In such event, the Company could
be unable to issue shares to those persons desiring to exercise their Warrants
unless and until the shares could be registered or qualified for sale in the
jurisdiction in which such purchasers reside, or an exemption to such
qualification exists or is granted in such jurisdiction. If the Company was
unable to register or qualify the shares in a particular state and no exemption
to such registration or qualification was available in such jurisdiction, in
order to realize any economic benefit from the purchase of the Warrants, a
holder might have to sell the Warrants rather than exercising them. No assurance
can be given, however, as to the ability of the Company to effect any required
registration or qualification of the Common Stock or Warrants in any
jurisdiction in which registration or qualification has not already been
completed. See "Description of Securities-Warrants."
 
    POSSIBLE LOSS OF INVESTMENT.  Most of the net proceeds of the Offering will
be expended at or prior to receipt of significant revenues by the Company.
Consequently, stockholders will be dependent upon the performance of the
Company's business for any return of their investment and risk the entire loss
of their investment if revenues are insufficient to cover expenses. In the event
that the business does not generate sufficient revenues to pay expenses,
stockholders could lose part or all of their investment.

                                    DILUTION
 
    The net tangible book value of the Company at March 31, 1998, before giving
effect to the Offering, was $578,099 or $.27 per share, based upon 2,164,063
shares outstanding. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing
the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock into the net tangible book
value of the Company (total assets less total liabilities and intangible
assets). After giving effect to the sale of 1,400,000 Units by the Company in
the Offering and receipt of the estimated net proceeds therefrom, the adjusted
net tangible book value at March 31, 1998, would have been $7,117,099 or $2.00
per share of Common Stock. This represents an immediate increase of $1.73 per
share to current stockholders and an immediate dilution of $3.50 per share to
the investors in the Offering (assuming the allocation of the entire Offering
Price to the shares of Common Stock). The following table illustrates the per
share dilution, assuming all 1,400,000 Units are sold in the Offering: (1)

    The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Securities offered
hereby, assuming a Unit Offering Price of $5.50, are estimated to be
approximately $6,539,000, ($7,543,850 if the Over-allotment Option is exercised

- ------------------------
 
(1) Capital expenditures consist primarily of telephone switching equipment in
    new cities and new buildings, including buildings under contract, based on
    the Company's planned expansion.
 
(2) System enhancements consist primarily of enhancements to the current, or the
    acquisition of a new, billing and customer service system. The Company is
    currently evaluating the alternatives.
 
(3) The proceeds allocated to Salaries and Personnel Costs and to Marketing and
    General Administrative Costs will be applied, to the extent necessary, to
    the Company's current operations and to fund anticipated losses over the
    next twelve months. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis."
 
    The amounts set forth above represent the Company's present intentions for
the use of the proceeds from the Offering. However, actual expenditures could
vary considerably depending upon many factors, including, without limitation,
changes in economic conditions, the ability of the Company to obtain lease
financing, unanticipated complications, delays and expenses, or problems
relating to the development of additional properties. Any reallocation of the
net proceeds of the Offering will be made at the discretion of the Board of
Directors but will be in furtherance of the Company's strategy to achieve growth
and profitable operations through the development of additional properties. The
Company's working capital requirements are a function of its future sales growth
and expansion, neither of which can be predicted with any reasonable degree of
certainty. As a result, the Company is unable to precisely forecast the period
of time for which proceeds of the Offering will meet its working capital
requirements. The Company may need to seek funds through loans or other
financing arrangements in the future, and there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to make such arrangements in the future should the need
arise. However, it intends to budget the proceeds so that such proceeds, either
alone or with proceeds of any other financing, and revenues from operations,
will be sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements for at least the next
12 months.
 
    Pending use of the net proceeds of the Offering, the funds will be invested
temporarily in certificates of deposit, short-term government securities or
similar investments. Any income from these short-term investments will be used
for working capital.
 
                                   DIVIDENDS
 
    No dividends have been paid by the Company. While no decision with regard to
the payment of dividends in the future has, to date, been made, the Company does
not, as of the date of this Prospectus, intend to declare or pay any dividends
on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Future
dividend policy is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors, and is
dependent upon a number of factors including future earnings, capital
requirements and the financial condition of the Company. Although no shares of
preferred stock have been issued, in the event such shares are issued, the
rights of Common Stock stockholders to dividends shall be subject to the rights
and preferences of preferred stockholders. The Company does not presently intend
to issue any preferred stock.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
    The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.
 
    The Company provides integrated telecommunications services to multi-family
apartment and condominium complexes. The Company offers a complete package of
telecommunications services including local telephone, long distance telephone,
enhanced calling features, internet access and cable television. All services
are installed prior to the tenant's move-in and one bill is rendered to the
tenant at the end of the month incorporating all services provided.
Additionally, all services are believed to be offered at or below retail market
prices. The Company's first property, the 525-unit Portland Center apartments
complex, went on-line in September 1994. The properties under contract as of the
date of this Prospectus, consisting of 3,015 units in Portland, Oregon and 1,646
units in five other cities, represent 4,661 units. Contract terms range from
five years to fifteen years.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
  1997.
 
    The Company reported a net loss of $384,228 for the three months ended March
31, 1998, compared to a net loss of $144,638 for the same period of the prior
year. The increase in net loss is primarily attributable to increased personnel
and other selling, general and administrative expenses, as well as a one-time
non-cash charge to other expense during 1998.
 
    Revenue increased by $118,042 or 71% for the three months ended March 31,
1998, compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase in revenue is
attributable to the Company having eleven properties operating as of March 31,
1998, compared to four as of March 31, 1997. The increase in revenue is not
proportional to the increase in properties due to the timing of when properties
were brought on line.
 
    Operating expenses increased by $103,899 or 88% for the three months ended
March 31, 1998, compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase in
operating expenses, which are those costs directly attributable to revenue, was
due to the increase in properties between periods. Operating expenses were 78%
of revenue for the three month period during 1998 compared to 71% for the same
period of the prior year. The increase in operating expense was disproportionate
to the increase in revenue due to the Company absorbing certain fixed costs
associated with the new properties brought on-line during 1998 without a
corresponding increase in revenue.
 
    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $158,216 or 122%
for the three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to the same period of the
prior year. The increase between periods resulted from increases in payroll and
related costs, travel and entertainment expenses, advertising and promotion
expenses, and legal and regulatory costs. Selling, general and administrative
expenses were 102% of revenue for the three month period during 1998 compared to
79% for the same period of the prior year.
 
    Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $8,998 or 76% for the
three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to the same period of the prior
year. The increase between years is due to an increase in property and equipment
resulting from the increased number of properties on line between years.
Depreciation and amortization expense was 7% of revenue for the three month
periods in both 1998 and 1997.
 
    Other expense increased by $86,519 or 171% for the three months ended March
31, 1998, compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase between
years resulted from a one-time non-cash charge to other expense related to the
induced conversion of certain convertible notes during 1998, partially offset by
a decrease in interest expense that was accreted on the Promissory Notes during
1997 that were not outstanding during 1998. Other expense was 48% of revenue for
the three month period during 1998 compared to 31% for the same period of the
prior year.
 
                                       20
<PAGE>
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 1996.
 
    The Company reported a net loss of $578,276 for the year ended December 31,
1997, compared to a net loss of $397,817 for the year ended December 31, 1996.
The increase in net loss is attributable to the increased personnel costs,
depreciation charges and interest expense associated with the Company's growth
that was experienced between years.
 
    Revenue increased by $277,480 or 46% for the year ended December 31, 1997,
compared to the prior year. The increase in revenue is attributable to the
Company having eight properties operating by the end of 1997 compared to three
for 1996. The increase in revenue is not proportional to the increase in
properties due to the timing of when properties were brought on line during
1997.
 
    Operating expenses increased by $210,782 or 57% for the year ended December
31, 1997, compared to the prior year. The increase in operating expenses, which
are those costs directly attributable to revenue, was due to the increase in
properties between years. Operating expenses were 66% of revenue for the year
ended December 31, 1997, compared to 61% for the prior year. The increase in
operating expense was disproportionate to the increase in revenue due to the
Company absorbing certain fixed costs associated with the new properties brought
on line during 1997 without a corresponding increase in revenue.
 
    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $135,899 or 24%
for the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to the prior year. The increase
between years resulted from an increase in payroll and temporary staff expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 80% of revenue for the year
ended December 31, 1997, compared to 94% for the prior year.
 
    Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $32,076 or 85% for the
year ended December 31, 1997, compared to the prior year. The increase between
years is due to an increase in property and equipment resulting from the
increased number of properties on-line between years. Depreciation and
amortization expense was 8% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 1997,
compared to 6% for the prior year.
 
    Other expense increased by $79,182 or 288% for the year ended December 31,
1997, compared to the prior year. The increase between years resulted from an
increase in interest expense, which was due to an increase in financing
activities and accreted interest thereon and capital leases between years. Other
expense was 12% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to 5%
for the prior year.
 
    The Company has net operating loss carryforwards which are available to
offset future financial reporting and taxable income. Net operating loss
carryforwards for tax purposes totaled approximately $965,000 at December 31,
1997, and expire in 2011 through 2012.
 
    A provision of the Internal Revenue Code requires the utilization of net
operating losses be limited when there is a change of more than 50% in ownership
of the Company. The Company appears to have incurred an ownership change under
IRC Section 382. This potential ownership change would limit the utilization of
any net operating losses incurred prior to the change in ownership date. The
Company intends to complete an analysis under IRC Section 382 to determine if
any ownership change has occurred.
 
    The difference between expected tax benefit, computed by applying the
federal statutory rate of 34% to loss before taxes, and the actual tax benefit
of $-0- is primarily due to the increase in the valuation allowance for deferred
taxes.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
    At March 31, 1998, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $409,132
compared to $389,415 at December 31, 1997. Net cash of $341,974 was used in
operating activities which resulted from the Company's net loss as well as from
working capital requirements.
 
                                       21
<PAGE>
    Net cash of $19,917 was used in investing activities which was comprised
entirely of capital expenditures. The Company is currently pursuing various
leasing alternatives to finance its anticipated future capital expenditures. As
of March 31, 1998, the Company had $550,000 of lease financing available for
future capital expenditures. While management believes that available lease
lines are sufficient to fund short-term capital requirements, additional lease
financing will be required to fund the Company's long-term plans. There is no
assurance that the Company will be able to obtain lease financing at rates that
are acceptable to the Company or in amounts that will be sufficient to fund its
long-term requirements. Any deficiencies between the Company's leasing
capabilities and the Company's capital expenditure requirements, will have to be
financed through the issuance of common stock or debt.
 
    Net cash of $381,608 was generated from financing activities during the
three months ended March 31, 1998. This was the net result of the Company's
issuance of shares of Common Stock in a private placement which totaled
$390,391, offset by principal payments under capital leases.
 
    The Company's independent auditors have included in their audit report an
explanatory paragraph which states that the Company's recurring losses from
operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. The Company has generated operating cash losses from its inception.
Additionally, the Company requires and will continue to require, cash to fund
the net losses and capital requirements associated with the Company's planned
growth. The cash required to fund such activities will be substantial and beyond
what the Company currently holds in cash and cash equivalents. Management
believes that approximately $5,200,000 of cash will be required to fund planned
operations for the next twelve months. Management believes that the Company's
cash balance at March 31, 1998, is sufficient to fund the Company's activities
for the next three months. The Company is currently pursuing various financing
alternatives including both public and private equity financing. There can be no
assurance that management will be successful in obtaining such financing.
 
    In December 1997, the Company signed a letter of intent with an underwriter
to offer shares of the Company's common stock for sale through an initial public
offering. It is the Company's plan to raise between $7,700,000 and $8,855,000 in
the public offering. If successful, management believes that the cash generated
from the public offering will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements for at
least the next twelve months.
 
    The Company has agreements with certain cable television operators to
purchase bulk cable signals at the Company's properties. As of March 31, 1998,
the Company's commitment was $27,224 per month for such services. At March 31,
1998, there were no material commitments for capital expenditures.
 
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
    SFAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," was issued in June 1997. It
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. SFAS 131,
"Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," was issued
in June 1997. It establishes standards for the way public business enterprises
report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and
requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating
segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas and major customers. The adoption of these standards had no
effect on the Company's financial statements.

                                    BUSINESS
 
GENERAL
 
    The Company is a Portland, Oregon, based telecommunications company that
provides integrated telecommunications and entertainment services to
multi-family apartment and condominium complexes. The Company offers a variety
of services to tenants including the following:
 
    - Cable television
 
    - Local telephone
 
    - Long distance telephone
 
    - Enhanced calling features, such as:
 
<TABLE>
<S>                                <C>
- - Call waiting                     - Call forwarding
- - Conference calling               - Distinctive ringing
- - Account coding                   - Speed dialing
- - Restricted access dialing        - Wake-up service
- - Voice mail
</TABLE>
 
    - High speed Internet access
 
    - Telephone calling cards
 
    Long distance traffic is routed over separate dedicated lines to an
interexchange carrier who provides discounted long distance telephone service to
the Company and its customers. Cable television service is provided to MDU's by
the Company through exclusive agreements with the local cable television
franchise holder. In Portland, for example, the Company has an agreement with
TCI Cablevision of Oregon, Inc., a subsidiary of Tele-Communications, Inc., the
largest cable company in the US ("TCI"); and with a division of Time Warner
Communications, Inc., to be the exclusive provider of cable service to the
building with which the Company has a contract. The Company purchases cable
service at a discount and applies a markup to cover additional costs and
contribution to profit and then resells the service to tenants at a discount
from retail rates.
 
    Internet access is provided by routing traffic through the Company's
switches to an independent Internet service provider. On December 30, 1997, the
Company entered into an agreement with GTE Intelligent Network Services, Inc., a
subsidiary of GTE Corp., to provide internet access to its customers. In May
1998 the Company installed its first internet line on a test basis, providing
access speed of 1.544 Mb per second, or approximately 27 times faster than the
56 kilobytes per second provided by dial-up modems for use over existing
telephone lines. The GTE service uses existing telephone lines. The user incurs
no additional costs to utilize the faster service.
 
    These services are all offered under the Company's service mark to tenants
of apartment and condominium complexes (referred to collectively herein as
"apartments") which are under exclusive contracts with the Company. When a new
tenant at a property under contract with the Company signs a service agreement
with the Company, the Company assigns the tenant a telephone number; and
installs all of the services in the tenant's apartment prior to the time the
tenant moves in. All services are installed prior to tenant move-in so the
tenant does not need to arrange for multiple installations by multiple vendors.
One customer service number covers all potential service and inquiry needs. One
bill is rendered to the tenant at the end of the month integrating all services
provided. Payment is accepted by cash, check, wire transfer or credit card. In
addition, all services are believed to be offered at or below retail market
prices. The tenant may retain his existing telephone number if allowed by the
incumbent local exchange carrier. There are no fees or interruptions of service
for tenants transferring to FirstLink after receiving service from another
supplier.
 
    The Company provides additional incentives to a property manager or owner,
including the benefit of dealing with a single provider for all communication
services; the ability to offer tenants a complete,
 
                                       23
<PAGE>
integrated package of communication and entertainment services; and the ability
to maintain or improve occupancy rates by attracting and retaining tenants for
whom communications and entertainment services are important. The property
manager or owner and leasing agents also benefit from the receipt of commissions
and further incentives for successfully marketing the Company's service.
 
    The Company currently has written long-term contracts with 20 residential
developments in six cities in the United States, including properties owned by
Harsh Investment Corp, Paine Webber, and an affiliate of Prudential Insurance
Company of America. Eleven of those properties were on-line as of the date of
this Prospectus. The properties contain 4,661 apartment units. Contract terms
range from 5 to 15 years with the average term of 6.5 years. The Company does
not believe that it is dependent on any individual property.

</TABLE>
 
    The Company has been able to obtain contracts with building owners and
tenants in the Portland area. It intends to expand to other cities through
agreements with companies that already have an extensive presence in those
cities. As an example, it recently entered into a letter of intent with Web
Service Company, Inc., one of the largest providers of coin operated laundry
equipment and other services ("ancillary services") to apartment and condominium
complexes in the United States. Initially, WEB will market the Company's
services to the 590 apartment complexes which WEB presently supplies ancillary
services in Seattle, Denver, Dallas, and the San Francisco Bay area,
representing approximately 150,000 units. See "--WEB Agreement."
 
    Approximately $40,000 of the proceeds of this Offering will be used by the
Company to fulfill its obligations under its current contracts in Portland. An
additional $3,652,000 will be used to purchase equipment for additional
expansion in Portland and expansion into five additional cities. Approximately
$2,097,000 of the proceeds will be used to pay additional overhead to service
apartments in those cities. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
COMPANY SERVICES AND EXISTING CUSTOMERS
 
    Five main services make up the Company's integrated communications package.
They include:
 
    - Local phone service
 
    - Enhanced calling features
 
    - Long distance phone service
 
    - Cable television service
 
    - Internet access
 
    The Company installs telephone switching equipment within each apartment
complex. This equipment generates an internal dial tone to the apartment
complex. The same hardware and software also provides enhanced calling features
like call waiting, call forwarding, and voicemail service. The switching
equipment located at the apartment complex is then interconnected with the local
telephone company so telephone calls can be received and transmitted across the
public switched telephone network, as well as
 
                                       24
<PAGE>
the networks of other carriers. The Company's services are transparent to the
customer; that is, he is unaware that his service goes through the Company's
switch.
 
    From the customer's perspective all of these services are provided through
the Company. The Company handles the sales, installation, customer care, and
billing of all services, thereby delivering a one-stop approach to customer
satisfaction.
 
    The tenant is offered discounts as an enticement to take service from the
Company. Installation costs are waived when a customer transfers service to
FirstLink from another provider and the transfer is accomplished without
inconvenience to the tenant. If permitted by the local carrier, the tenant has
the option of keeping his existing phone number. The Company guarantees its
service: if the tenant is unhappy for any reason, the Company will reconnect the
tenant to the carrier of his choice. The apartment leasing agent or condominium
sales agent presents the Company's service agreement to the new tenant at the
same time final apartment leasing documents are executed.
 
    The Company is positioned as a communications integrator and one-stop shop
for communications services, so that it can maximize its offerings to the
consumer. The Company will seek to provide other services to its customers, such
as video on demand, cellular telephone, paging, video conferencing, and others.
It is also working directly with local franchised cable companies to offer the
broadest possible range of cable television services. Many of its competitors
build stand-alone and limited capacity satellite television systems that provide
reduced offerings to the consumer. The Company views its business as a service
driven with customer satisfaction its number one priority.
 
    In return for marketing assistance and access to their buildings and
tenants, the Company pays apartment owners a share of revenue based on services
used by each subscribing tenant. This revenue sharing can have a significant
impact not only on the revenue stream from an apartment complex but also through
enhanced capital appreciation for the property, which this additional revenue
represents. In addition, apartments are typically rented based on the amenity
package provided to prospective tenants. The Company's integrated communication
services give a potential competitive advantage to an apartment owner.
 
    The Company provides the apartment tenant numerous benefits: cost savings
compared to the traditional providers of communications service; a convenient
means of subscribing to communications services; a single, integrated bill for
all communications services; instant connection to cable television, local phone
service, long distance telephone service and high speed internet access; and
simple and competitively priced choices for long distance telephone service.
 
    While communications markets remain regulated, limiting competition on the
national level, many states are today licensing Shared Tenant Services ("STS"),
known in the industry as Residential Multi-Tenant Services ("RMTS"). The
providers of RMTS, like the Company, are allowed to purchase dial tone from the
local telephone company on a wholesale basis and resell the dial tone to the
tenant from common telecommunications facilities. Other services are added to
the package such as long distance and cable television. The potential customers
of this service include residents within existing apartment complexes, new
multi-unit developments under construction, condominiums, and other
multi-dwelling units with telecommunications needs such as hospitals, nursing
homes, college campuses, etc. Large apartment complexes served by on-site
telecommunications equipment offer efficient use of capital.
 
MARKETING STRATEGY
 
    The Company currently targets apartment complexes with 150 or more tenants.
The selling cycle for the Company's service includes proposal presentation,
contract negotiations and service implementation, a cycle that can require more
than six months to complete. In addition to the 4,661 units currently under
contract, the Company has contracts under review by other properties
representing approximately 7,997 units and proposals outstanding to properties
totaling an additional 5,199 units. In addition it plans to
 
                                       25
<PAGE>
market its services through WEB in at least four cities. However, no assurance
can be given that those contracts with additional properties will be entered.
 
    The Company believes that there are few barriers to expanding the business
on a national basis. Unlike cable television networks or telephone networks, the
RMTS business does not require an investment in transport infrastructure like
fiber optic cable or telephone lines. Instead, it relies on purchasing that
capacity from third parties. The only significant capital expense is the
installation of telephone switching equipment in the various apartment
complexes, and this is done on a stand-alone basis. Because of this flexibility,
the Company has no ties to existing technology or infrastructure. Therefore,
with a successful engineering, marketing, and customer service formula,
expansion into other markets is simplified.
 
    Securing new apartment contracts is the key to the Company's growth. Both
new apartment construction and existing apartment complexes will be targeted.
The Company will seek to secure new contracts through:
 
    - One-on-one contacts
 
    - Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)
 
    - Associations
 
    - Property management organizations
 
    - Asset owners
 
    The Company will also add appropriate new telecommunications services and
enhancements to customer offerings.
 
    The Company believes that adequate back office support systems are in place
for its present level of business. However, it will need to implement additional
systems to manage its planned growth, including effective cost accounting,
technical support, credit and collections, and customer service, supported by a
subscriber management and billing system. Part of the proceeds from the Offering
will be used to establish such systems. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
THE WEB AGREEMENT
 
    In May 1998 the Company entered into a letter of intent with Web Service
Company, Inc., one of the largest operators of coin-operated laundry equipment
and other services ("ancillary services") in apartment and condominium complexes
in the United States. Based on information provided by WEB, the Company believes
that WEB provides ancillary services to approximately 44,000 apartment complexes
located in 26 states.
 
    Under the proposed contract, WEB will exclusively market the Company's
services to properties with which WEB has an existing relationship that have
more than 150,000 units. The exclusive arrangement will be subject to
performance requirements that will be defined in the definitive agreement. As
compensation for WEB's sales of the Company's services, the Company will grant
WEB warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of its Common Stock, subject to
vesting conditions requiring WEB to deliver one customer for each 25 shares. In
other words, in order to earn the 2,000,000 warrants, WEB must, within six
years, deliver 80,000 customers who subscribe to the Company's services. If WEB
is unable to deliver a certain number of subscribers each year (which number
increases over the life of the contract), a portion of the unvested warrants
expire. The maximum number of warrants that can vest in any year cannot exceed
20% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock at the vesting date. The warrants
will be exercisable at $5.40 per share for five years after they are issued.
 
    The Company will also pay WEB a commission of 1.75% on collected revenues
for WEB customers (2.25% for customers in any property in which the Company has
achieved a penetration rate in excess of 60%). The commission is paid for the
life of the Company's contract with the property.
 
                                       26
<PAGE>
    The Company sold WEB 25,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $4.00
per share prior to the public offering; and it will sell WEB an additional
25,000 Units in the public offering, at the public offering price.
 
    The Company anticipates that a definitive agreement will be entered into in
August 1998.
 
MARKET
 
    The United States telecommunications industry is large and robust. The cable
television industry's annual revenues exceed $28 billion. Local and long
distance telephone traffic generates $182 billion per year. Since the break-up
of AT&T in 1984, many new businesses have developed, including cellular
telephone, alternative long distance, and competitive access providers. These
businesses and others have created dramatic growth in telecommunications.
 
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS
 
    Providing accurate and customized billing for customers is an integral
component of the Company's business. The Company's management information
systems ("MIS") processes calls for the services the Company provides and
combines this information with other recurring and nonrecurring customer charges
to produce monthly invoices. Customers are quoted a monthly charge for basic
telephone and cable service. In addition, customers are charged for special
services and usage, including third-party billing calls, local message units
(where applicable), directory assistance, and long-distance at a discount from
the standard rates charged by long-distance providers; and for premium cable
channels.
 
    Enhancements to the MIS systems will allow the Company to have a scaleable
billing and customer service solution that will be able to support the Company's
planned growth. Once the Company's MIS systems are completed, they will be able
to be expanded with minimal incremental cost to accommodate substantially more
volume. Such systems may feature backup processors and short-time response
maintenance agreements and are designed to respond to customer needs as well as
support the Company's operations.
 
COMPETITION
 
    The Company believes that competition in its markets will come from smaller
companies as well as large telephone companies. Corporate cultures of the
various competing entities such as phone and cable companies differ greatly from
one another. Cable companies tend to be more entrepreneurial and telephone
companies tend toward a monopoly mentality. As a result, it has been difficult
for these large organizations to work together to actually realize the economies
of scale which a converged industry represents. At the same time, the
telecommunications industry remains highly regulated and although there are
attempts being made to open telecommunications markets, incumbent monopolies
still control the local exchange marketplace and can afford protracted
litigation to delay new entrants to the marketplace. The Company will attempt to
establish relationships with large apartment owners who influence the
telecommunications options of the building they own. There can be no assurance
that other companies who may offer services like those offered by the Company
will not be able to effectively compete with the Company in its existing or
proposed markets.
 
    Other companies currently provide cable and telephone services to
residential complexes, including ICS Communications, Inc. (ICS) and GE
Capital-Rescom, L.P. ("Rescom"). The Company's principal competitors in the
future will include companies that provide shared tenant services to office
holdings, who have a significant infrastructure in place in cities to which the
Company plans to expand. For example, Shared Technologies Fairchild
Communications Corp ("STF") has an agreement with ICS Rescom, L.P., to manage
certain aspects of its business.
 
                                       27
<PAGE>
KEY SUPPLIERS
 
    The Company currently leases transmission facilities from U S West
Communications, Inc. ("USWC"), LDDS Worldcom and Frontier Communications. Cable
television signal is acquired by the Company from TCI Cablevision of Oregon,
Inc. and KBL Cablesystems of the Southwest, a Time Warner company. Switching
hardware used by the Company is manufactured by Cortelco, formerly ITT Solid
State, and Digital Telecommunications Inc. Its Internet services provider is GTE
Intelligent Network Services, Inc. The Company believes that alternative sources
are available for all critical equipment and services that it utilizes from the
above suppliers, and that such equipment and services can be obtained at prices
comparable to those the Company is presently paying.
 
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
 
    The Company is subject to regulation under both state and federal
telecommunications laws. On the state level, rules and policies are set by each
state's Public Utility Commission or Public Service Commission ("PUC" or "PSC").
On a federal level, the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"), among other
agencies, dictates the rules and policies which govern interstate communications
providers. The FCC is also the main agency in charge of creating rules and
regulations to implement the recently enacted Telecommunications Act of 1996
("the Act"), although currently the Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) have asked
the judiciary to review and overrule the FCC and its regulations.
 
    Nevertheless, the Act was enacted in the first quarter of 1996 with its
primary goal being to create a "competitive telecommunications marketplace." To
achieve that goal, the Act sets out a checklist of requirements that BOCs, other
local exchange carriers and long distance carriers must meet before they may
begin to compete in new telecommunications-based businesses. For example, the
Act opens a regulatory door for BOCs to enter the long-distance services market,
a door that has been closed for almost fourteen years since the Modified Final
Judgment or "Consent Decree" that broke up the old AT&T/Bell system. The Act
also allows long-distance carriers to enter the local exchange service business,
a monopoly held by the AT&T/Bell system since the turn of the Century. Equally
important, the Act opens new venues to alternative providers of video services,
thereby allowing more than the one-to-a-city cable franchisee to provide visual
entertainment and information products.
 
    The FCC published a majority of the rules and regulations that add detail to
the Act, thereby giving to state PUCs/PSCs explicit directions and authority to
oversee, among others, such processes as 1) the way long-distance and
local-service providers "interconnect" their infrastructures and technologies;
2) the methods by which BOCs may determine their costs and revenue requirements
and pricing and rates for service; 3) how and how much non-facilities based
resellers will pay "wholesale" for retail service offerings; and 4) the degree
to which new entrants and incumbent carriers can agree as to terms, conditions,
and technical specifications for interconnection through negotiations and
arbitration.
 
    Proceedings at state PUC's and PSC's continue, despite the BOCs court
appeals and the temporary stay of much of the FCC rules. In Oregon, for
instance, the Oregon Public Utilities Commission ("OPUC") regulates the
standards, rates and terms of services offered by Local Exchange Companies
("LECs") such as USWC, GTE, Inc. ("GTE") and other telecommunications carriers.
Companies such as the Company are regulated and certificated by the OPUC also.
As a STS provider, the Company must operate according to specific statutes and
OPUC rules. In addition, the Company has received authorization as an
Alternative Local Exchange Carrier ("ALEC") in Oregon. Applications for ALEC
authorization are pending in Colorado and Washington. As an ALEC, the Company
will be able to provide local dialtone services outside the apartment locations
for which it is currently authorized, and compete with the LECs such as USWC and
GTE. At that time, the Company will have to comply with the OPUC rules and
regulations governing ALEC operations, service standards and state surcharges
and subsidies, as well as state policies affecting technical interconnection
with the public switched telephone network, for its services provided as an
ALEC.
 
                                       28
<PAGE>
    In seeking the above-referenced state certifications, however, the Company
faces a limited risk of agency and court challenges by future competitors such
as USWC. Such challenges, though unlikely, could occur before state regulatory
agencies and courts in 1998.
 
    While most of the services provided now and in the future by the Company are
considered "competitive" and "unregulated," no predictions or assurances can be
given as to the effect of federal and state laws and regulations on the
Company's business.
 
TRADEMARKS
 
    The United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted the Company
service mark protection on the Company's service mark "FirstLink." This service
mark has been used in interstate commerce by the Company or its predecessors
continuously since 1994 and, in the Company's opinion, has developed recognition
in the Company's industry. The Company intends to develop and aggressively
protect its service mark and to develop other service marks used in connection
with its business.
 
PROPERTIES
 
    The Company leases 2,100 square feet of office space at 190 SW Harrison in
Portland, Oregon, on a five-year lease expiring on October 31, 2001. In April
1998 the Company signed a lease agreement to lease 4,500 square feet of space at
117 SW Taylor in Portland, Oregon, with an option to lease an additional 4,500
square feet at the same location. The Company anticipates relocating to its new
facility in September 1998. This lease has an eight year term, but the Company
can terminate at any time after the 60th month. The Company believes it will be
able to sublease the space located at 190 SW Harrison. The Company believes that
its office space is sufficient for the next several years. The Company also
maintains leased equipment, including switching equipment, at various locations
to provide local dial tone for its customers.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
    The Company employs 20 persons on a full-time basis in its Portland offices.
Of these employees, eight are administrative or management and twelve are in the
areas of customer service, billing and operations. The Company believes its
relationship with its employees to be good and none of the employees are union
members. All of the Company's employees are at will.
 
LEGAL MATTERS
 
    The Company is currently not involved in any material legal proceedings.

regarding its activities.
 
DIRECTOR NOMINEE
 
    The Company intends to increase the size of the Board of Directors to five
directors after consummation of this offering. The vacancy created thereby will
be filled by the Board of Directors pursuant to the Company's Bylaws. The
Company has granted ProFutures Bridge Capital, LP, ("ProFutures") a substantial
shareholder, the right to nominate a director, subject to the Company's
approval. ProFutures has not exercised that right as of the date of this
Prospectus. If ProFutures does not nominate a director, the Company will seek a
qualified director to be added to the Board.
 
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
 
    None of the Company's directors received any compensation during the most
recent fiscal year for serving in their position as a director. No plans have
been adopted to compensate directors in the future. In 1997 the Board of
Directors adopted a stock option plan which includes provision for stock options
to be issued to directors. The Company has granted a total of 240,000 options to
directors under this plan. See "--Stock Incentive Plan."
 
    Directors who are also executive officers of the Company receive no
additional compensation for their services as Directors. Directors who are not
executive officers of the Company are paid a $500 fee for each board meeting
they attend. In addition, outside Directors are entitled to be reimbursed for
their expenses associated with attendance at meetings or otherwise incurred in
connection with the discharge of their duties as Directors of the Company.
 
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
    The following table and discussion set forth information with respect to all
compensation earned by or paid to the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"),
its most highly compensated executive officer, for all services rendered in all
capacities to the Company for each of the Company's last three fiscal years;
provided, however, that no disclosure has been made for any executive officer,
other than the CEO, whose total annual salary and bonus does not exceed
$100,000.

    management agreement has been terminated
 
    The Company does not have an employment agreement with any of its officers.
It plans to enter into employment agreements with Mssrs. Pease, Sperber, and
Deluhery shortly after the completion of this Offering. Except for these
employment agreements and except for their eligibility to participate in the
Company's Stock Incentive Plan, there exist no other agreements, arrangements or
understandings

pursuant to which Messrs. Pease, Sperber and Deluhery will receive any other
form of compensation or remuneration from the Company following completion of
this Offering.
 
STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
 
    During fiscal 1997, the Company adopted the Plan. Pursuant to the Plan,
stock options granted to eligible participants take the form of Incentive Stock
Options ("ISO's") under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code") or options which do not qualify as ISO's (Non-Qualified
Stock Options or "NQSO's"). As required by Section 422 of the Code, the
aggregate fair market value of the Company's Common Stock with respect to its
ISO's granted to an employee exercisable for the first time in any calendar year
may not exceed $100,000. The foregoing limitation does not apply to NQSO's. The
exercise price of an ISO may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of
the shares of the Company's Common Stock on the date of grant. The exercise
price of an NQSO may be set by the administrator, but not less than 85% of the
Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of grant. An option
is not transferable, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. If
the employment of an optionee terminates for any reason (other than for cause,
or by reason of death, disability, or retirement), the optionee may exercise his
options within a ninety day period following such termination to the extent he
was entitled to exercise such options at the date of termination. Either the
Board of Directors (provided that a majority of directors are "disinterested")
can administer the Plan, or the Board of Directors may designate a committee
comprised of directors meeting certain requirements to administer the Plan. The
administrator will decide when and to whom to make grants, the number of shares
to be covered by the grants, the vesting schedule, the type of award and the
terms and provisions relating to the exercise of the awards. An aggregate of
533,333 shares of the Company's Common stock is reserved for issuance under the
Plan. The Company received stockholder approval of the Plan in a meeting of
stockholders held on February 24, 1998, and accordingly, can issue ISO's from
such date forward.
 
    At May 15, 1998, the Company had granted a total of 533,333 options under
the Plan consisting of 450,000 NQSO's and 83,333 ISO's at exercise prices
ranging from $1.13 to $2.25 per share. All options have been issued with
exercise prices at or above market value on the date of issuance. All of the
options vest over a three-year period. The Company will not grant options and
warrants in excess of 15% of the outstanding shares to officers, directors,
employees, 5% shareholders, or affiliates for a one year period from the date of
this Prospectus.
 
    The following tables set forth certain information as of December 31, 1997,
and for the fiscal year then ended concerning non-qualified stock options
granted to and exercised by the named executive officer and the fiscal year-end
value of unexercised options on an aggregated basis:

(1) Value Realized is determined by calculating the difference between the
    aggregate exercise price of the options and the aggregate fair market value
    of the Common Stock on the date the options are exercised.
 
(2) The value of unexercised options is determined by calculating the difference
    between the fair market value of the securities underlying the options at
    fiscal year end and the exercise price of the options. The fair market value
    of the securities underlying the options, based on the last price Common
    Stock was sold by the Company privately, was $2.25 per share.
 
LIMITATION ON DIRECTORS' LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION
 
    The Company has adopted provisions in its Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws that limit the liability of its directors to the fullest extent permitted
by the Oregon Business Corporation Act (the "OBCA"). Under the Company's
Articles and Bylaws, as permitted by the OBCA, no director is liable to the
Company or its Stockholders for monetary damages for his conduct as a director
of the Company. Such limitation of liability does not affect a director's
liability for (a) a breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or
its stockholders; (b) any acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; or (c) any unlawful
distribution, or a transaction from which the director receives an improper
personal benefit. Such limitation of liability also does not affect the
availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.
 
    The Company's Articles of Incorporation permit and its Bylaws require the
Company to indemnify officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by
the OBCA. These agreements, among other provisions, provide indemnification for
certain expenses (including attorney fees), judgments, fines and settlement
amounts incurred in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the
right of the Company.
 
    The effect of this provision in the Company's Articles of Incorporation is
to eliminate the rights of the Company and its stockholders (through
stockholder's derivative suits on behalf of the Company) to recover monetary
damages against a director for breach of his fiduciary duty of care as a
director (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent
behavior) except in the situations described in clauses (a) through (c) above.
This provision does not limit nor eliminate the rights of the Company or any
stockholder to seek non-monetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in
the event of a breach of a director's duty of care. The ByLaws provide that if
Oregon law is amended, in the case of alleged occurrences of actions or
omissions preceding any such amendment, the amended indemnification provisions
shall apply only to the extent that the amendment permits the Company to provide
broader indemnification rights than the OBCA permitted the Company to provide
prior to such amendment.
 
    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
 
    In April 1994, Payline Systems, Inc. ("Payline") a publicly traded
corporation, entered into a five-year contract with Pacific Union Property
Services, the management company for Portland Center Apartments, to provide
telecommunications services to the tenants of the Portland Center Apartments.
Shortly thereafter, Payline formed FirstLink Communications, L.L.C. ("FLC"), and
assigned that contract to FLC. In January 1995, FLC signed a seven-year contract
with RiverPlace II Joint Venture to provide services to the tenants of
RiverPlace. Subsequently, FLC borrowed a total of $250,000 from three investors,
including JR Roberts Corporation and Thair Q. Schneiter, a director and major
stockholders of the Company. The investors obtained as collateral for the loan a
security interest in all assets of FLC, including the two contracts and certain
equipment. In May 1995, the investors foreclosed on their notes, which were in
default, and obtained the assets of FLC. They assigned the assets to a newly
formed limited liability
 
                                       36
<PAGE>
company, FirstLink Tenant Services, L.L.C. ("FTS"). On January 1, 1996, the
Company acquired substantially all of the assets of FTS, in exchange for 133,333
shares of Common Stock. The acquisition of these net assets was accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting. As the Company and FTS were entities
under common control, the assets and liabilities of FTS were recorded by the
Company using the carryover basis in such assets and liabilities of $82,790.
Because of the nature of this transaction, it cannot be considered to have
resulted from an arms-length negotiation between the Company and the investors.
 
    In October 1996, the Company issued 6,667 shares of Common Stock to each of
Mr. McChesney, a director of the Company, and Mssrs. Bathgate and McColley, who
are substantial shareholders of the Company, in consideration of their
guaranteeing a $125,000 equipment lease. The Company also agreed to issue an
additional 200 shares per month to each of those individuals for each month that
the guarantee is outstanding. Through March 31, 1998, the Company had issued an
additional 3,400 shares to each such individual. The Company will attempt to
obtain a release of those guarantees following the closing of this Offering.
 
    In 1997, the Company issued 8,692 shares to Mr. Olsen, and 1,060 shares to
Mr. McChesney, directors of the Company, as consideration for their guarantees
of a second lease.
 
    Mssrs. Bathgate and McColley are principals of Bathgate McColley Capital
Group, LLC, who acted as the Company's Placement Agent in three private
offerings of the Company in 1997 and 1998. In connection with such offerings,
they were paid commissions aggregating $135,852 in 1997 and $38,000 in 1998; and
issued persons affiliated with BMCG warrants to purchase a total of 157,000
shares of Common Stock.
 
    Each of the above transactions, except the transaction in which the Company
acquired the assets of FTS, were approved or ratified by a majority of
disinterested directors. The Board of Directors has determined that any future
transactions with officers, directors, or principal shareholders will be
approved by the disinterested directors and will be on terms no less favorable
than could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party. The Board of Directors
will obtain independent counsel or other independent advice to assist in that
determination.

                           DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
 
    The Company's Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to
20,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock
("Preferred Stock").
 
COMMON STOCK
 
    Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when and as
declared by the Board of Directors out of any funds lawfully available therefor
and, in the event of liquidation or distribution of assets, are entitled to
participate ratably in the distribution of such assets remaining after payments
of liabilities, in each case subject to any preferential rights granted to any
series of Preferred Stock that may then be outstanding. The Common Stock does
not have any preemptive rights or redemption, conversion or sinking fund
provisions. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and
all shares of Common Stock to be outstanding upon completion of the Offering
will be, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Holders of Common Stock
are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the
stockholders. Holders of Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights in
the election of directors, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the
shares voting can elect all directors.
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
    The Articles of Incorporation authorize 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock
and permit the Board of Directors, without further stockholder authorization, to
issue Preferred Stock in one or more series and to fix the terms and provisions
of each series, including dividend rights and preferences, conversion rights,
voting rights, redemption rights and rights on liquidation, including
preferences over Common Stock. The issuance of any series of Preferred Stock
under certain circumstances could adversely affect the voting power or other
rights of the holders of Common Stock, and, under certain circumstances, be used
as a means of discouraging, delaying, or preventing a change in control of the
Company. No Preferred Stock is outstanding, and the Company has no present plans
to issue any shares of Preferred Stock. The Company will not offer preferred
stock to officers, directors, or substantial shareholders of the Company except
on the same terms as are offered to all shareholders as a group, or to new
investors.
 
WARRANTS
 
    Two Warrants will entitle the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock
at a price of $8.10 during the three-year period commencing on the date of this
Prospectus. The Warrants will be redeemable upon forty-five (45) days prior
written notice at a redemption price of $.05 per Warrant if (a) the closing high
bid price of the Common Stock has exceeded $12.15 for at least 20 of the 30
trading days immediately preceding the date of mailing of the notice of
redemption, and (b) the Company has in effect a current registration statement
with the Commission registering the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants. The Warrants will contain anti-dilution provisions for stock splits,
recombinations, and reorganizations.
 
STATE LEGISLATION
 
    When and if the Company has 100 or more stockholders, the Company will
become subject to the Oregon Control Share Act (the "Control Share Act"). As of
December 31, 1997, the Company had 73 stockholders. The Control Share Act
generally provides that a person (the "Acquirer") who acquires voting stock of
an Oregon corporation in a transaction which results in the Acquirer holding
more than each of 20%, 33 1/3% or 50% of the total voting power of the
corporation (a "Control Share Acquisition") cannot vote the shares it acquires
in the Control Share Acquisition ("Control Shares") unless voting rights are
accorded to the Control Shares by (i) a majority of each voting group entitled
to vote and (ii) the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting shares,
excluding the Control Shares held by the Acquirer and
 
                                       38
<PAGE>
shares held by the corporation's officers and inside directors. The term
"Acquirer" is broadly defined to include persons acting as a group.
 
    The Acquirer may, but is not required to, submit to the corporation an
"Acquiring Person Statement" setting forth certain information about the
Acquirer and its plans with respect to the corporation. The Acquiring Person
Statement may also request that the corporation call a special meeting of
stockholders to determine whether the voting rights will be restored to the
Control Shares. If the Acquirer does not request a special meeting of
stockholders, the issue of voting rights of Control Shares will be considered at
the next annual or special meeting of stockholders. If the Acquirer's Control
Shares are accorded voting rights and represent a majority or more of all voting
power, Stockholders who do not vote in favor of the restoration of such voting
rights will have the right to receive the appraised "fair value" of their
shares, which may not be less than the highest price paid per share by the
Acquirer for the Control Shares.
 
TRANSFER AND WARRANT AGENT
 
    American Securities Transfer & Trust, Incorporated, 1825 Lawrence Street,
Denver, Colorado 80202 will be the transfer agent for the Common Stock and the
warrant agent for the Warrants.
 
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
 
    The Company is a party to a Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which
it granted to certain former holders of Convertible Promissory Notes (the
"Notes") (all of whom have converted the Notes to Common Stock), Common Stock,
and Warrants certain rights with respect to registration under the Securities
Act of 935,556 shares of Common Stock and 188,889 warrants held by such holders,
the "Registrable Securities"). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, if the
Company files a registration statement under the Securities Act, the holders of
Registrable Securities may require the Company, subject to certain limitations,
to include all or any portion of their Registrable Securities in such
registration at the Company's expense. The shares so registered will be subject
to an agreement not to sell those shares for a period of one year after the date
of this Prospectus without the representative's written consent. The Company
plans to file a separate registration statement for the Registrable Securities
prior to the expiration of the lock-up period.
 
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
    Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Common Stock
or the Warrants. Future sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock in the
public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices.
 
    Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will have 3,590,917 shares of
Common Stock outstanding. Of these shares, 1,400,000 shares registered in the
Registration Statement for this Offering will be freely tradeable without
restriction under the Securities Act, except for any shares purchased by
affiliates of the Company, which will be subject to certain resale limitations
of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The remaining 2,190,917 shares
and all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding
options and warrants are "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144. The
owners 1,915,540 of those shares have agreed with the Representative of the
Underwriters not to sell, transfer, assign, or make any other disposition of any
shares owned by them for a period of twelve months after the date of this
Prospectus without the prior written consent of the Representative. In addition,
the owner of 152,720 shares has agreed not to sell, transfer, or assign those
shares for a period of six months after the date of this Prospectus without the
prior written consent of the Representative. The Warrants being issued in this
Offering as part of the Units, and the 700,000 shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants will be freely transferable and not subject to any
restrictions on resale.
 
    In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, any person (or persons
whose shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned restricted securities
for at least one year is entitled to sell, within any three-
 
                                       39
<PAGE>
month period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the
then outstanding shares of the issuer's common stock or the average weekly
trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale, provided that
certain public information about the issuer as required by Rule 144 is then
available and the seller complies with certain other requirements. In general,
shares issued in compliance with Rule 701 promulgated under the 1933 Act may be
sold by non-affiliates subject to the manner of sale requirements of Rule 144,
but without compliance with the other requirements of Rule 144. Affiliates may
sell such shares in compliance with Rule 144, other than the holding period
requirement. A person who is not an affiliate, has not been an affiliate within
three months prior to sale, and has beneficially owned the restricted securities
for at least two years is entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144 without
regard to any of the limitations described above.
 
    Further, upon completion of the Offering, there will be outstanding Warrants
exercisable to purchase an additional 794,444 shares of Common Stock, assuming
no exercise of the Over-allotment Option. 700,000 shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will be free trading and immediately
eligible for sale upon issuance. The remaining 94,444 shares issuable upon
exercise of Warrants are subject to a one-year lock-up agreement.

    The Securities are being offered by the several Underwriters, subject to
prior sale, when, as, and if delivered to and accepted by the Underwriters and
subject to their right to reject orders in whole or in part and subject to
approval of certain legal matters by counsel and to various conditions. The
nature of the Underwriters' obligation is such that they must purchase all of
the Securities offered hereby if any are purchased.
 
    The Company has granted the Underwriters an option for 45 days from the date
of this Prospectus to purchase up to an additional 210,000 Units at the initial
public offering prices less the underwriting discount of $.55 per Unit. The
Underwriters may exercise such option only for the purpose of covering any
over-allotments in the sale of the Securities being offered.
 
    The Underwriters have advised the Company that they propose to offer the
1,400,000 Units directly to the public at the public offering prices set forth
on the cover page of this Prospectus and to selected dealers at that price, less
a concession of not more than $.275 per Unit. After the initial offering of the
Securities is completed, the price of the Securities may change as a result of
market conditions. However, no such change will effect the amount of proceeds to
be received by the Company as set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus.
The Underwriters have advised the Company that they will not make sales of the
Securities offered in this Prospectus to accounts over which they exercise
discretionary authority.
 
    The Company will pay the Representative a non-accountable expense allowance
from offering proceeds, including proceeds from the over-allotment options to
the extent exercised. The expense allowance will be 3% of the gross proceeds
sold in the Offering. The Representative's expenses in excess of the
non-accountable expense allowance will be borne by the Representative. To the
extent that the expenses of the Representative are less than the non-accountable
expense allowance, the excess shall be deemed to be compensation to the
Representative. The Company has advanced the Representative $25,000 of such
expense allowance.
 
    In addition to the Underwriters' discount and the non-accountable expense
allowance, the Company is required to pay the costs of qualifying the Securities
under federal and state securities laws, together with legal and accounting
fees, printing, road show and other costs in connection with the Offering. The
Underwriters have agreed to pay all fees and expenses of any legal counsel whom
it may employ to represent it separately in connection with or on account of the
proposed offering by the Company, mailing, telephone, travel and clerical costs
and all other office costs incurred or to be incurred by the Underwriters or by
their representatives in connection with the Offering.
 
    The Company has agreed with the Representatives not to solicit Warrant
exercises other than through the Representatives. Upon exercise of any Warrants,
the Company will pay the Representatives a fee of 3% of the aggregate exercise
price, if (i) the market price of the Company's Common Stock on the date the
Warrant is exercised is greater than the then exercise price of the Warrant;
(ii) the exercise of the Warrant
 
                                       41
<PAGE>
was solicited by a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. who is so designated in writing by the holder exercising the Warrant; (iii)
the Warrant is not held in a discretionary account except where prior specific
written approval for the exercise has been received; (iv) disclosure of
compensation arrangements was made both at the time of the offering and at the
time of exercise of the Warrant; (v) the solicitation of the exercise of the
Warrant was not in violation of Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act;
and (vi) the Representative provides bona fide services in connection with the
solicitation of the exercise of the Warrant. No solicitation fee will be paid to
the Representatives on Warrants exercised within one year of the date of this
Prospectus or on Warrants voluntarily exercised at any time without
solicitation. In addition, unless granted an exemption by the Commission from
Regulation M under the Exchange Act, the Representatives will be prohibited from
engaging in any market making activities or solicited brokerage activities until
the later of the termination of such solicitations activity or the termination
by waiver or otherwise of any right the representatives may have to receive a
fee for the exercise of the Warrants following such solicitation. Such a
prohibition, while in effect, could impair the liquidity and market price of the
Securities.
 
    The present shareholders of the Company have agreed not to issue, offer,
sell, transfer, assign, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any securities of
the Company for twelve months from the date of this Prospectus without the prior
written consent of the Representative.
 
    Until the distribution of the Securities is completed, rules of the
Commission may limit the ability of the Underwriters and certain selling group
members to bid for and purchase the securities. As an exception to these rules,
the Underwriters are permitted to engage in certain transactions that stabilize
the price of the securities. Such transactions consist of bids or purchases for
the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. If
the Underwriters create a short position in the Securities in connection with
the Offering, i.e., if they sell more Securities than are set forth on the cover
page of this Prospectus, the Underwriters may reduce that short position by
purchasing Securities in the open market. The Underwriters may also elect to
reduce any short position by exercising all or part of the Over-allotment Option
described above.
 
    The Underwriters may also impose a penalty bid on selling group members.
This means that if the Underwriters purchase Securities in the open market to
reduce the Underwriters' short position or to stabilize the price of the
Securities, it may reclaim the amount of the selling concession from the selling
group members who sold those securities as part of the Offering.
 
    In general, purchase of a security for the purpose of stabilization or to
reduce a short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than
it might be in the absence of such purchases. The imposition of a penalty bid
might also have an effect on the price of a security to the extent that it was
to discourage resales of the security. Neither the Company nor the Underwriters
make any representation or predictions as to the direction or magnitude of any
effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the
Securities. In addition, neither the Company nor the Underwriters make any
representation that the Underwriters will engage in such transactions, once
commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.
 
    Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Common Stock
or Warrants. Accordingly, the public offering prices of the Shares and Warrants
and the exercise price of the Warrants were determined by negotiations between
the Representatives and the Company. Among the factors considered in determining
the public offering prices and the Warrant exercise price were the prospects for
the Company, an assessment of the industry in which the Company operates, the
assessment of management, the number of Securities offered, the price that
purchasers of such Securities might be expected to pay given the nature of the
Company, and the general condition of the securities markets at the time of the
Offering. Accordingly, the offering prices set forth on the cover page of this
Prospectus should not be considered an indication of the actual value of the
Company or the Common Stock or Warrants.
 
                                       42

    The Company and the Underwriters have agreed to indemnify each other against
certain liabilities, including liabilities under the 1933 Act, and, if such
indemnifications are unavailable or insufficient, the Company and the
Underwriters have agreed to damage contribution agreements between them based
upon relative benefits received from the Offering and relative fault resulting
in such damages. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be provided to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Company, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. The Company also has agreed with the
Underwriters that the Company will file and cause to become effective a
registration statement pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 no later than the date of this Prospectus.
 
    The foregoing does not purport to be a complete statement of the terms and
conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, copies of which are on file at the
offices of the Representative, the Company and the Commission. See "Additional
Information."
 
REPRESENTATIVES' OPTIONS
 
    Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will sell to the Representative
for $140, the Representatives' Options to purchase 140,000 Units at a price that
is equal to 140% of the Offering Price. The Warrants underlying the
Representatives' Option will have an exercise price and other terms identical to
the Warrants being offered to the public pursuant to this Prospectus, (the
"Representatives' Option"). The Representatives' Options will be exercisable
commencing one year after the date of this Prospectus for a period of four
years. The exercise price for the units underlying the Representatives' Options
is payable in cash or through the surrender of Options having a value equal to
the difference between the exercise price and the average of the current market
price of the Common Stock and Warrants for the 20 consecutive trading days
commencing 21 trading days before the date the Representatives' Options are
tendered for exchange.
 
    The Representative's Options will be non-transferable except among the
Underwriters and by their respective officers or partners for a period of twelve
months from the date of this Prospectus. The Representative's Options and the
securities underlying the Representative's Options (the "Representative's
Securities") will also contain anti-dilution provisions for stock splits,
combinations and reorganizations, piggyback registration rights, one demand
registration right at the expense of the Company, and one demand registration
right paid for by the holders of the Representative's Securities (all of which
expire five years from the date of the Prospectus).
 
    The Representative's Securities are being registered in the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. The Company has agreed to maintain
an effective Registration Statement with respect to such shares to permit their
resale at all times during the period in which the Representative's Options are
exercisable. The sale of the Representative's Securities could dilute the
interest of other holders of Common Stock and Warrants and the existence of the
Representative's Options may make the raising of additional capital by the
Company more difficult. At any time at which exercise of Representative's
Options might be expected, it is likely that the Company could raise additional
capital on terms more favorable than the terms of the Representative's Options.
Any profit realized by the Representatives (or any holder of the Representatives
Options) on the sale of the shares of Common Stock or the Warrants included in
the Units or the sale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants may
be deemed underwriting compensation.
 
KASHNER REGULATORY HISTORY
 
    Kashner Davidson Securities Corporation, a representative in this Offering,
is currently involved in a proceeding brought by the NASD alleging certain
violations of NASD rules and regulations in connection with trades in municipal
securities. While Kashner and its principals are attempting to resolve this
 
                                       43
<PAGE>
proceeding, there can be no assurance of its outcome. In addition, in 1996
Kashner and Victor Kashner, a principal, resolved another NASD proceeding
arising from transactions in an OTC electronic bulletin board security, without
admitting or denying any wrongdoing, by the payment of fine and restitution. In
1994 Mr. Kashner and Kashner resolved, without admitting or denying any
wrongdoing, another NASD proceeding by agreeing to a censure and fine. In 1993
Kashner and Victor Kashner voluntarily resolved a matter brought by the
Commission alleging violations of certain securities laws. In that settlement,
without admitting any wrongdoing or violation of any securities laws, Kashner
agreed to the imposition of an administrative cease and desist order, a three
month suspension for Victor Kashner from association with any broker/dealer and
a two year supervisory bar for Mr. Kashner. The three month suspension imposed
upon Mr. Kashner has been completed. Also as a result of the Commission action,
the NASD also suspended Mr. Kashner's registration as an options principal and a
general securities principal for two years. A complaint filed by the
Massachusetts Securities Division based upon the same facts remains pending,
although it has been dormant for several years.
 
    There can be no assurance of the outcome of any pending regulatory matters
affecting Kashner or Mr. Kashner or the effect of this regulatory history, if
any, on Kashner's activities in the Company's securities following completion of
this Offering.
 
CONSULTANT TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
    The Company has agreed, for a period of three years from the date of this
Prospectus, to designate a person selected by the representatives to act as a
consultant to the Board of Directors who will have the right to attend all Board
and Board committee meetings and will be reimbursed his out-of-pocket expenses
to attend Board meetings. The Representative has not yet exercised its right to
designate such a person.
 
                                 LEGAL MATTERS
 
    The validity of the issuance of the Common Stock offered hereby will be
passed upon for the Company by Neuman Drennen & Stone, LLC, Englewood, Colorado.
David H. Drennen, whose company is a member of the firm of Neuman Drennen &
Stone, LLC is the owner of warrants to purchase 14,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock, which he received from the placement agent of a private placement
of the Company's securities as partial compensation for his services to that
placement agent. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the
Representative by Sichenzia, Ross & Friedman, LLP, 135 West 50th Street, 20th
Floor, New York, New York 10020.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Board of Directors
FirstLink Communications, Inc.:
 
    We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of FirstLink Communications,
Inc. as of December 31, 1997, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended December 31,
1997 and 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
 
    We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of FirstLink Communications,
Inc. as of December 31, 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
 
    The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 1 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations
that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in note 1. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

                 DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996 AND MARCH 31, 1998
 
                   (INFORMATION AS OF MARCH 31, 1998 AND FOR
          THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997 IS UNAUDITED)
 
(1) BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
 
    FirstLink Communications, Inc. (FirstLink or the Company), an Oregon
corporation, is an integrated telecommunications service company providing local
telephone, long distance telephone, enhanced calling features and cable
television services to residents of multi-family apartment and condominium
complexes. The services are provided to the tenants in accordance with long-term
operating agreements between the Company and the property owners under which the
property owners share in the telecommunication revenues generated from their
properties. The agreements provide the tenants with the option to use either
FirstLink or the local telephone company and long distance carriers for
telephone services. Tenants desiring to subscribe to cable television must
utilize FirstLink.
 
    From time to time, the Company will evaluate the market demand, as well as
the economic and technical feasibility, of offering new products and services to
the residents of the Company's properties. Such products and services may
include, but are not limited to, internet access, wireless telephone and paging.
The Company expects to introduce internet access to certain properties during
the first quarter of 1998.
 
    Historically, the Company has operated in and around the Portland, Oregon
metropolitan area. As of December 31, 1997, the Company had contracts for
additional properties in Vancouver, Washington; Seattle, Washington; Denver,
Colorado; Phoenix, Arizona; and Oklahoma, City, Oklahoma.
 
    The Company was incorporated on December 26, 1995 and on January 1, 1996
acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of FirstLink Tenant
Services L.L.C. (FTS) with a net book basis of $82,790 in exchange for 133,333
shares of the Company's common stock. The acquisition of these net assets was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. As the Company and FTS
were entities under common control, the assets and liabilities of FTS were
recorded by the Company using the carryover basis in such assets and
liabilities.
 
    The Company has generated operating cash losses from its inception.
Additionally, the Company requires, and will continue to require, cash to fund
the net losses and capital requirements associated with the Company's rapid
growth. It is management's expectation that the Company will enter at least five
new markets during 1998 and additional others beyond the coming year. The cash
required to fund such activities will be substantial and beyond what the Company
holds in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1997. The Company is
currently pursuing various financing alternatives including, but not limited to,
both public and private equity and debt financings. There can be no assurance
that management will be successful in obtaining such financing.
 
    In December 1997, the Company signed a letter of intent with an underwriter
to offer shares of the Company's common stock for sale through an initial public
offering.
 
    The financial statements and related notes as of March 31, 1998 and for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 are unaudited but, in the opinion of
management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. The operating
results for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1998.

                 DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996 AND MARCH 31, 1998
 
                   (INFORMATION AS OF MARCH 31, 1998 AND FOR
          THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997 IS UNAUDITED)
 
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    (a) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
    The Company considers all highly liquid instruments readily convertible to
known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents.
 
    (b) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
    Property and equipment is stated at cost, including installation cost. The
Company provides for depreciation using the straight-line method over estimated
useful lives of three to ten years. Property and equipment held under capital
leases are amortized straight-line over the shorter of the lease term or
estimated useful life of the asset. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as
incurred.
 
    (c) REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
    Revenue is recognized when services are provided.
 
    (d) USE OF ESTIMATES
 
    The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
    (e) COMMON STOCK AND LOSS PER SHARE
 
    The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE. SFAS 128 replaced the presentation of primary and
fully diluted earnings (loss) per share (EPS) with a presentation of basic and
diluted EPS. Under SFAS 128, basic EPS excludes dilution for common stock
equivalents and is computed by dividing income or loss available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock resulted in the issuance of common stock.
 
    The loss per common share in the accompanying financial statements has been
computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during each period giving consideration to the effects of the Securities and
Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (SAB 98). Pursuant to SAB
98, issuances of common stock, options, warrants or other potentially dilutive
securities for nominal consideration (Nominal Issuances) are to be included in
the calculation of EPS for all periods presented in the manner of a stock split
for which retroactive restatement is required. Management believes that there
have been no Nominal Issuances since the inception of FirstLink.
 
    In accordance with SFAS No. 128, the calculation of basic and diluted EPS
does not assume the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities
that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. As a result,
basic and diluted loss per share are the same for the years ended December 31,
1997 and 1996 and for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997.
Additionally, common share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the stock split
of 1 for 1.5 which will occur immediately prior to the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement.

                   (INFORMATION AS OF MARCH 31, 1998 AND FOR
          THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997 IS UNAUDITED)
 
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    (f) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
    The Company accounts for its stock-based employee compensation plan using
the intrinsic value based method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES, and related
Interpretation (APB No. 25). The Company has provided pro forma disclosures as
if the fair value based method of accounting for these plans, as prescribed by
SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION, had been applied.
 
    (g) IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
 
    Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF
(SFAS No. 121), which requires that the long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles, held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of
an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when estimated
undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset is less
than its carrying value. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair
value of the asset, which is generally determined using valuation techniques
such as the discounted present value of expected future cash flows. The adoption
of SFAS No. 121 had no effect on the financial statements of the Company.
 
    (h) INCOME TAXES
 
    The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109,
ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES (SFAS No. 109). Under the asset and liability method
of SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS
No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
    (i) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
    SFAS 130, REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME, was issued in June 1997. It
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. SFAS 131,
DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION, was issued
in June 1997. It establishes standards for the way that public business
enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about
operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas and major customers. The adoption of these standards had no
effect on the financial statements of the Company.

</TABLE>
 
    The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of January 1, 1998, 1997
and 1996 was $373,480, $152,242 and $-0-, respectively. The net change in the
total valuation allowance for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and the
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 was an increase of $111,770, $221,238 and
$152,242, respectively. The Company has established a valuation allowance due to
the uncertainty that the full amount of the operating loss carryforwards will be
utilized. Although management expects future results of operations to be
profitable, it emphasized past performance rather than growth projections when
determining the valuation allowance. Any subsequent adjustments to the valuation
allowance, if deemed appropriate due to changed circumstances, will be
recognized as a separate component of the provision for income taxes.
 
    The Company has net operating loss carryforwards which are available to
offset future financial reporting and taxable income. Net operating loss
carryforwards for tax purposes totaled approximately $965,000 and $1,244,000 at
December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998, respectively, and expire in 2011 through
2012.
 
    A provision of the Internal Revenue Code requires the utilization of net
operating losses be limited when there is a change of more than 50% in ownership
of the Company. The Company appears to have incurred an ownership change under
IRC Section 382. This potential ownership change would limit the utilization of
any net operating losses incurred prior to the change in ownership date. The
Company intends to complete an analysis under IRC Section 382 to determine if
any ownership change has occurred.

(5) DEBT
 
    PROMISSORY NOTES
 
    During 1997 and 1996, the Company issued unsecured promissory notes (the
Promissory Notes) aggregating $250,000. The Promissory Notes bore interest at 8%
per annum with both principal and interest payable on or before March 31, 1997.
As an additional inducement, the holders of the Promissory Notes received 440
shares of the Company's common stock for each $1,000 of principal. The value
assigned to such shares was $17,424 and $18,876 in 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The Promissory Notes were originally recorded at $213,700, which represents the
$250,000 in proceeds less a discount of $36,300 assigned to the common stock.
The fair value of the common stock was based on other recent equity transactions
with third parties. The discount was accreted to the debt over the life of the
Promissory Notes as a financing cost. The accretion of the value assigned to the
common stock is included in interest expense in the accompanying financial
statements. In 1997, $245,000 of the Promissory Notes, plus accrued interest,
were converted into 221,659 shares of the Company's common stock. The remaining
$5,000 and accrued interest was paid in full during 1997.
 
    CONVERTIBLE NOTES
 
    During 1997, the Company issued unsecured convertible notes (the Notes) with
a face value of $420,000 and 560,000 shares of common stock pursuant to a
private placement memorandum (the Private Placement). Total proceeds from the
Private Placement was $840,000. The Notes bear interest at 6% per annum, payable
semiannually commencing June 30, 1998, mature three years from the date of
issuance and are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at $3.00
per share. The Notes were originally recorded at $210,000, which represents the
face value of $420,000 less a discount of $210,000 which was assigned to the
common stock and offering costs of $37,923 which are included in other assets in
the accompanying financial statements. The 560,000 shares of common stock were
recorded at the estimated fair market value of such shares which was $630,000
less stock offering costs of $37,301, resulting in net proceeds of $592,699. The
fair market value of the common stock was based on other recent equity
transactions with third parties. The discount is being accreted to the debt
using the interest method over three years. The accretion value assigned to the
common stock is included in interest expense in the accompanying financial
statements.
 
    CONVERTIBLE NOTE CONVERSION
 
    During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company asked the holders
of the Notes to convert the Notes into shares of common stock. As an inducement
to convert, the Company reduced the conversion price to $2.25 per share from the
$3.00 conversion price stated on the Notes for those holders converting on or
before March 9, 1998. The induced conversion resulted in a $105,000 charge to
operations, classified as other expense, during the quarter ended March 31,
1998. As of March 9, 1998, all of the Notes had been converted into 186,667
shares of common stock.

    PRIVATE PLACEMENT
 
    During 1997, the Company issued 290,000 units, with each unit consisting of
two shares of common stock and one common stock purchase warrant pursuant to a
private placement memorandum. The Company sold 126,667 units (the Units)
resulting in 168,888 shares for $190,000 with the remaining 163,333 units being
issued to the holders of the Promissory Notes in exchange for converting
$245,000 of the Promissory Notes plus accrued interest into 221,659 shares of

    During February and March 1998, the Company sold 283,333 units with each
unit consisting of one share of common stock and one common stock purchase

    STOCK OPTION PLANS
 
    In July 1996, the Company established the FirstLink Communications, Inc.
Incentive Stock Option Plan (the Incentive Plan) and the FirstLink
Communications, Inc. Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the Non-Qualified Plan).
No shares were issued under the Incentive and Non-Qualified Plans. In February
1997, the Company's Board of Directors adopted the 1997 Restated Combined
Incentive Stock and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the 1997 Plan) to supersede
and replace the Incentive and Non-Qualified Plans. Options issued under the 1997
Plan shall not be priced at less than fair market value and expire no later than
ten years from the date of grant. The vesting periods are at the discretion of
the Company's Board of Directors. The 1997 Plan is subject to ratification by
the majority vote of the holders of the Company's common stock within one year
from the effective date of adoption for any incentive options granted under the
1997 Plan. Until ratified, all shares issued under the 1997 Plan will be
non-qualified as the Board of Directors has the authority to issue nonqualified
options. The Company has made available 533,333 shares for grant under the 1997
Plan. During 1997, the Company issued options to purchase 416,667 shares of
common stock with vesting terms of 25% immediately and 25% on each anniversary
date over a three-year period.
 
    The following table provides additional information concerning options
granted under the 1997 Plan:

(6) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)
    A total of 104,167 and 188,333 options were exercisable at December 31, 1997
and March 31, 1998 at a weighted average exercise price of $1.13.
 
    The Company has elected to account for its stock-based compensation plans
under APB 25; however, the Company has computed, for pro forma disclosure
purposes, the value of all options granted during 1997 using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model as prescribed by SFAS 123 using the following assumptions
used for grants in 1997:

    The total value of options granted during 1997 was computed as approximately
$124,000 which would be amortized on a pro forma basis over the three-year
vesting period of the options. The fair market value of the option grants during
1997 was $1.13 per share.
 
    Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the
grant date for its stock options under SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss and
loss per share would have been:

Guarantors upon execution of and throughout the duration of the leases. 16,961,
21,200 and 1,800 shares of common stock were issued to the Guarantors during
1997 and 1996 and the three months ended March 31, 1998, respectively.

    COMMITMENT WITH CABLE PROVIDERS
 
    The Company has agreements with TCI Cablevision of Oregon, Inc. (TCI) and
Paragon Cable (Paragon) to purchase bulk cable signals at the Company's
properties. The agreements provide for the Company to pay fixed monthly amounts
regardless of the number of customers the Company has at the properties. As of
December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998, the Company's monthly commitment was
$27,224 per month. The TCI agreements provide for annual rate increases not to
exceed 5%. The agreements all have terms of five years and expire during May
2001 through April 2002.
 
(9) LITIGATION
 
    In April 1997, LDDS World Comm (LDDS) filed a lawsuit against the Company
seeking payment of $190,000 plus attorney fees for goods and services provided
to the Company. The Company contends it was overcharged by LDDS pursuant to the
terms of its agreement and the actual amount owed is approximately $126,000
which is recorded on the accompanying balance sheet. The Company has provided
LDDS with supporting documentation for the actual amount owed and has offered a
settlement proposal. On April 8, 1998, the LDDS claim was settled for $102,000
payable in two installments of $50,000 and $52,000 on April 10, 1998 and June
15, 1998, respectively.
 
    From time to time, the Company is involved in various litigation in the
normal course of business. Management believes that the outcomes will not have a
material impact to the Company's financial statements.
