ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
GENERAL
The Company's strategy for the future is to build its business to design,
install, operate and manage fiber optic and microwave based technical
infrastructures for buildings and building complexes. The Company has identified
"application linking" (see description below) as the process of managing, under
one contract, a range of end user applications such as lighting, heating, air
conditioning, alarms and communications services within a single building
infrastructure. The Company's revenues to June 30, 2000, have been derived in
part from the installation of two such application linking projects but also
from providing facsimiles and laptop computers and consultancy services to the
U.K. defense sector, the sale of certain software products, the sale and
installation of air conditioning units and the provision of commercial security
services. These services and the revenues derived from them are explained in
detail below.
To make the narrative descriptions of the Company's business more understandable
the following definitions have been provided:
"A Shares" The shares of Class A Common Stock, par value US$0.01
each in the capital of the Company
"AIM" Alternative Investment Market of The London Stock
Exchange Limited
"application linking" The provision and management of end user applications
within building structures and building complexes,
usually by means of an integrated fiber optic and or
wireless platform which is supplied under a single
service contract with the Company. The term "linking"
is an established technology term used to describe
the joining of a "path" between two nodes.
Application linking is used as a generic term to
describe the linking of end user applications on a
single path and node structure comprising the
"application linking platform"
"application linking The term used by the Company to describe a means of
platform" providing a communication path between a series of
devices, or nodes, in a network linking together
different end user applications
"application service A service that hosts business application
provider" or "ASP" software for third parties to access over the
Internet
"CCTV" Closed circuit television
"connectivity solutions" The ability to connect electronically to two or more
devices. An example is a telephone system where the
telephones are replaced with different types of
hardware (for example, mainframe computers, personal
computers or laptops). Software sold by the Company
provides a common language over this new telephone
system
"end user applications" Products and services used in building structures
and building complexes such as telecommunications,
voice, data and video delivery services, buildings
access, control, monitoring and maintenance systems,
such as, CCTV, air conditioning and information
kiosks
"EuroTelecom" or "Company" EuroTelecom Communications, Inc.

"intelligent building" A building which utilizes self monitoring
and self supporting technology to control internal
building services such as lighting, heating, air
conditioning, alarms and communications
"Internet protocol suite" A standard set of rules to enable
Internet users to communicate with each other
"Internet service A company which provides a service which enables a
provider" or "ISP" user to access the Internet
"multiplexer" A device that enables a number of signals to be
transmitted over a single line
"network file systems" A file system is simply an electronic file cabinet.
There are two types of systems: 'Local' -- specific
to the user, and 'Remote' - which operates like a
public library. A network file system is like a
public library, which can be used locally
"node" A connection point of a network to enable electronic
data to be extracted for use by end user applications
"protocol" A set of rules that enable communications between
items of hardware, for example modem to personal
computer
"protocol converter" A device which is used to translate one form of
digital information into another to enable the end
user application to function
"secure computer networks" In general, computer networks such as telephone
networks do not provide any form of privacy from
electronic eavesdropping. Secure networks, such as a
secure telephone system, provide a method of
encoding information so that an eavesdropper is
unable to interpret it
"SDH" Synchronous Digital Hierarchy - a recognized
transmission standard for telecommunications networks
"terminal emulation" Terminals provide the facility to enter and view
data received from a mainframe computer. The old
expression for terminal was VDU (Visual Display
Unit). Different mainframes require different input
devices (VDUs). Terminal emulation software allows a
personal computer to "mimic" the functions of these
VDUs

APPLICATION LINKING - THE COMPANY'S STRATEGY FOR THE FUTURE
Currently in the U.K., where the Company's operations are predominantly based,
end user applications are typically supplied from a variety of sources and are
operated through numerous technical platforms which are not always interlinked
or compatible without additional hardware being installed. An application
linking platform can accommodate and integrate with conventional wire, as well
as fiber optic or microwave based infrastructures. The market for application
linking includes the owners, developers and operators of large buildings, retail
centers, sporting stadia, science and technology parks, local authority and
government sites and residential developments.
An application linking platform comprises the fiber optic and/or wired and/or
wireless technical infrastructure of a building or building complex to provide
services such as lighting, heating, air conditioning, alarms and communications
services. It uses components, developed and supplied by third parties, to
provide a technical infrastructure and typically consists of a series of nodes
that are linked by either fiber optic cable, microwave signals, or a combination
of both. An application linking platform is also able to integrate with
traditional wire based building infrastructures. Microwave radio nodes can also
be installed within the application linking platform to complete a network ring
where it is impractical or uneconomic to lay a fiber optic cable. An application
linking platform can be installed throughout a building or building complex and
is designed to be directly linked to end user applications. The Company
considers that application linking has a number of features which distinguishes
it from conventional fiber optic or wire based systems or networks for building
complexes. These features include the following:
4
<PAGE>
(a) Single service contract
Typically each end user application is provided by a different service
provider, whether it is CCTV, air conditioning or fire alarms, often
necessitating a series of individual service contracts between the end
user and the provider. The application linking platform provided by the
Company provides end user applications from an integrated
infrastructure which enables services to be provided under a single
service contract.
(b) Integrity
The application linking platform uses two independent rings or paths
which enhance the integrity of the infrastructure, as one path operates
as a fail safe should the other become damaged or cease to operate. The
network incorporates specialist software which is activated in the
event that both the operating and protective loops are broken,
bypassing the breach and creating the necessary connection within the
node itself.
(c) Reliability
By streamlining the infrastructure, the active components of the
application linking platform are expected to have a typical mean time
before failure of over 11 years based on estimates made in accordance
with standards laid down by professional bodies such as the Institute
of Electrical and Electronic Engineers in the U.K.
(d) Flexibility
End user applications can simply be added or removed from the
application linking platform without the requirement for
re-engineering, which differs from many traditional fiber optic or wire
based communication infrastructure designs, where different end user
applications require separate multiplexes and protocol converters for
each particular end user application.
(e) Management and hardware costs
A typical conventional fiber optic or wire based network will usually
employ at least two levels of multiplexes to extract the bandwidth
required by the end user application to function. In addition, a
typical conventional fiber optic or wire based network will also
require protocol converters to transform this bandwidth into a digital
signal that can then be used by the end user application. The
application linking platform does not require this hardware since the
technology within the node enables the digital signal to be extracted
directly from the network ring to the end user application. The effect
of simplifying the infrastructure can enhance not only the system's
efficiency, but it can also reduce the cost of installing, operating
and maintaining the platform.
THE POTENTIAL MARKET
Global deregulation of telecommunications, the resulting increased competition
and the rapid development and application of new technologies have stimulated a
growing demand for advanced telecommunications services. The Company believes
that corporate customers in commerce and industry (financial services,
entertainment and leisure industries, manufacturing, public utilities and other
sectors) have become aware of the ability of advanced information and
communications technology to bring competitive advantage by:
5
<PAGE>
o Extending their markets
o Reducing costs
o Speeding products to market
o Improving standards of customer service
o Developing new and innovative ways to approach the market
In particular, the Company believes that there will be a particular demand for
application linking in the entertainment and leisure industries. The single,
managed infrastructure provided by the Company offers additional sources of
revenue to end users as well as substantial cost reductions due to the use of
economic bandwidth management and the ability to avoid the costs of buying in
auxiliary equipment to the site developer and to the businesses on a site. The
Company has the ability to design and install networks that will handle
multi-media screen displays, site administration, security and access controls,
CCTV monitoring, fire and intruder alarms, advanced computer networking and
Internet access.
In addition to the impact that high-speed integrated computer networks is having
on private industry, governments are also seeing networked information systems
as a way to help reduce costs, improve public service and devolve and
decentralize the functions of government. The military is also continually
expanding the use of advanced telecommunications in operational, command and
control and administrative roles. The Company's application linking platforms
are also able to support e-commerce, cash-point dispensers, retail card systems,
"smart cards" for cashless transactions, information kiosks, video-walls and
distance training.
CORPORATE HISTORY OF THE COMPANY
The Company was incorporated on June 1, 1987, in Delaware under the name
American Telemedia Network, Inc. On June 25, 1987, American Telemedia Network,
Inc. and ATN, Inc., a corporation incorporated in Utah, merged. The merged
entity was called America Telemedia Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation. On
December 21, 1989, the name of American Telemedia Network, Inc. was changed to
ATNN, Inc. On August 1, 1997, ATNN, Inc. acquired by way of merger all of the
outstanding shares of EuroTelecom, Inc. and on August 11, 1997, changed its name
to EuroTelecom Communications, Inc.
EuroTelecom Corporation Limited ("ECL"), the U.K. holding company, was formed on
April 12, 1996.
On September 16, 1997 a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, EuroTelecom
Secure Networks Limited ("Secure Networks"), was incorporated in the U.K. to
provide certain Internet technology and communication products and services.
This subsidiary was the only trading subsidiary until it was liquidated on
February 19, 1999. The activities performed by Secure Networks were similar to
the current activities of ECL and involved the design and installation of secure
computer networks at the U.K. Ministry of Defense using hardware sourced by ECL.
In the year to June 30, 1998, revenues were generated only through Secure
Networks. ECL was incurring costs in developing the business and was at an early
stage in developing the application linking business. All such costs were being
expensed in full.
In the year to June 30, 1999, a lower level of revenue was generated from Secure
Networks and this company was placed into liquidation. Revenues were generated
by ECL under a contract supplying consultants to design and install a secure
computer network with the U.K. Ministry of Defense. In addition, revenues were
generated by ECL from the supply of facsimile machines and laptop computers also
to the U.K. Ministry of Defense and in the supply of CCTV and manned security to
other customers.
On April 19, 1999, the Company acquired Easy IP Limited, ("Easy IP"), a software
distribution company for $586,050. The consideration for this acquisition
comprised $193,250 in cash, the issuance of 200,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock valued at $331,250 and acquisition costs of $61,550.
6
<PAGE>
In the year to June 30, 2000, the Company developed its businesses of defense
products, commercial security and software distribution, obtained its first two
application linking projects and continued to sell and install air-conditioning
units.
On April 5, 2000, the Company listed a new class of stock, called Class A Common
Stock, on the Alternative Investment Market, a regulated investment exchange
governed by The London Stock Exchange. The principal reason for such listing was
to provide the option to the Company of offering additional shares of its
capital stock in the U.K. to facilitate the raising of further capital or as
consideration for acquisitions. The background to and the reasons for the
Company's seeking this listing in London were set out in the Company's
Definitive Information Statement (on Form 14C) filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on February 7, 2000. As part of the listing, 11,220,118
shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock were sold in the U.K., raising
$26,938,283, before costs. This offering of a new class of the Company's shares
is described in more detail in Item 5. The proceeds of this offering are being
used to fund strategic acquisitions, marketing activities and working capital
requirements.
The Company has continued its programme of expansion through acquisition. On
April 12, 2000, the Company acquired the commercial security business of Wardell
Security Limited, a U.K. company based in the northwest of England, for
$197,225.
On April 18, 2000, the Company purchased the assets of Timtec International
Limited ("Timtec") for $1,041,000. Timtec undertakes interior contracting and
carpentry for the retail, leisure and hotel sectors in the U.K. Projects to date
have consisted of interior contracting and carpentry for shops and offices.
On May 12, 2000, the Company concluded a joint venture agreement with Amanda
Staveley in which it acquired in total, following both an acquisition and
subscription for new shares, 49 percent of the issued share capital of Q.ton
Limited ("Q.ton"), an English company, specializing in the development and
operation of conference center facilities. Under the terms of the transaction,
the Company acquired 29 percent of Q.ton previously owned by Amanda Staveley,
prior to these transactions its sole shareholder, in exchange for 794,000 shares
of Class A Common Stock of the Company. The agreement setting out the terms of
the acquisition in more detailis attached as Exhibit 10.14 and is incorporated
by reference herein. Q.Ton is a development stage company which was incorporated
in October 1998. The company leases two units in the newly-built Cambridge
Science Park from Trinity College Cambridge in the United Kingdom. One of these
units, known as the Q.Ton Forum, is being equipped with state of the art
conference facilities, restaurant facilities; the other unit is being equipped
with leisure facilities. Once operational the company's revenues will
principally be rental income and membership income from users of the units.
As of June 30, 2000, assets comprised mainly property and equipment of $993,000
and cash of $1,370,000 and liabilities comprised mainly of trade payables of
$744,000 with neither unit operational. Both facilities became operational in
September 2000.
DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY'S ACTIVITIES
The operations of the Company are based primarily in the U.K. The Directors have
developed the Group's activities through three segments described below. In the
period ended June 30, 1999, the individual activities were not grouped by the
Company into these main headings.
Projects - This segment comprises the following:
o Applications linking - revenues to 6/30/00- $804,878
o Defense services - sale of equipment- revenues to 6/30/00- $1,260,741
The Company considers both these areas of its business to be operating units,
not development units.

<PAGE>
Services - This segment comprises the following:
o Defense services - consultancy services- revenues to 6/30/00 - $nil
This part of the Company's business, which is the installation of secure
computer networks at the U.K. Ministry of Defense facilities, is not considered
a development unit as the Company has the capability to perform in this area as
soon as contracts are signed. No contracts have yet been entered into by the
Company mainly due to the lack of U.K. government funding for investment by the
U.K. Ministry of Defense in this area.
o Commercial security- revenues to 6/30/00- $1,869,991
o Sale/installation of air conditioning units - revenues to 6/30/00 -
$621,955
o Interior contracting (see business of Timtec below) - revenues to
6/30/00 - $1,422, 366
The Company considers that three areas above are all operating parts of the
Company's business.
Communications - This segment comprises the following:
o Distribution of software products:
Easy IP - revenues to 6/30/00 - $2,599,413
o Sale of specialist communication products:
RTC - revenues to 6/30/00 - $353,443
o On-line telephony services - revenues to 6/30/00 - $nil
In the Communications segment, only on-line telephony services is considered by
the Company to be a development unit. There is a concentrated sales and
marketing effort to produce revenues derived from sales of on-line telephony
equipment within the next 12 months.
PROJECTS
Application linking
In the period to June 30, 2000, this segment concluded negotiations for the
design and supply of application linking platforms for the Q.ton Forum
development on the Cambridge Science Park, and the "Printworks" development in
Manchester, both in the U.K.
The Q.ton Forum is a video conferencing and leisure center. The total contract
value for the application linking platform installation is expected to be
$1,317,400. The installation and breakdown of revenue for the contract consists
of the following main elements: communications FibreTrax backbone (see
Intellectual property and proprietary rights later in this document) and
cabling, video and audio conferencing and distribution, CCTV, intruder detection
and building access control, telephone system and electronic point of sale
equipment. The Q.ton Forum project was 75 percent complete at June 30, 2000. The
project was completed on September 30, 2000. The Company has also signed a
facilities management agreement for building control at the Q.ton Forum worth
$75,700 per year.
The Printworks Development is a major urban entertainment center in Manchester
in the U.K. and is, the Company believes, Europe's largest entertainment center,
providing 350,000 square feet of retail and leisure facilities including a
proposed 3D IMAX Cinema and 20 screen cinema complex. The total contract value
for the application linking platform installation is expected to be $476,700.
The installation and breakdown of revenue for the Printworks contract consists
of network installation and backbone supply, together with fiber connections to
each tenant, and FibreTrax nodes and accessories including power supplies and
connections and design. The project was 25 percent complete on June 30, 2000. As
well as providing the design and supply of the application linking platform, the
Company is also to provide the ongoing facilities management to the tenants, as
well as the operators, of the Printworks site. To June 30, 2000, nine tenants
representing 50 percent of the available square footage have verbally indicated
that they require the Company's facility management but binding contracts have
not been entered into.

Defense equipment
Since February 1999, Projects has supplied and maintained the U.K. Ministry of
Defense with a range of secure facsimiles and laptop computers, customized to
operate in harsh field environments. The sale of equipment by the company is
distinct from the provision of consultancy services noted below.
SERVICES
Defense Services
Defense services involves the provision of consultancy services by the Company
in connection with the design and installation of secure computer networks,
specifically for use in the U.K. defense industry. Defense services' main source
of revenue to June 30, 1999 was as a supplier of contracted labor to a third
party which was itself contracted by the U.K. Ministry of Defense. ECL supplied
between five and ten consultants on a weekly basis, as and when required, whose
main activity was the installation of secure computer networks at various
Ministry of Defense sites throughout the U.K. The Company charged consultants'
time on the number of hours worked in any one month, the average gross mark up
being approximately 20 percent. The contract has now been completed and no
further work in this area is anticipated for a number of months.
Commercial security
This aspect of the Company's business currently comprises CCTV systems,
maintenance and manned security guard services. Since November 1998, these
activities have operated from the Company's central monitoring CCTV station in
South Yorkshire on which capital expenditure of approximately $30,000 was spent
in the period to June 30, 1999 and $230,300 in the year ended June 30, 2000. The
business concentrated on the South Yorkshire area of the U.K. to June 30, 1999
and expanded to the whole of the U.K. in the year ended June 30, 2000. Revenues
were generated from CCTV sales provided to various different types of customer,
for example, local government authorities, car dealerships, factories and car
parks. The equipment supplied to these sites is purchased from a third party
supplier. The Company installs the systems and provides a 24-hour monitoring
service, if required by the client, from the Company's central monitoring
station. Personnel are employed on a shift basis to monitor each individual
site. Screens in the monitoring station are only activated if unauthorized
access is gained to any site. This enables the central monitoring station to
monitor at any one time up to 250 different locations. The monitoring station
has at any one time a maximum of three people in the station. Individual
installations on average create revenues of $30,000 with a gross margin of
approximately 30 per cent. The installations are typically sold with one year's
free maintenance and monitoring. Towards the end of the first year the Company
then typically seeks to sell a further maintenance and monitoring contract for
two years. The Company also provides security guards on sites where CCTV is not
required by the customer or is impractical. There are approximately 140 guards
at any one time employed by the Company protecting properties in the U.K.
Air-conditioning
Chunlan Limited ("Chunlan") was formed by the Company in February 1998 and began
operations in August 1999. Chunlan imports, distributes and installs air
conditioning units for industrial, commercial and domestic uses. The units are
acquired from third party suppliers. Projects completed to that date were small
fittings of air conditioning units in office space valued at approximately
$3,000 per project. The market area is predominately in the north of England.
Chunlan hopes to expand this market area to the whole of the U.K. Air
conditioning is typical of the type of "end user applications" which can be
connected within an application linking platform. The intention is to develop
Chunlan to source and manage the installation of building control products and
systems such as air conditioning and lighting.

<PAGE>
Timtec
Timtec undertakes retail, leisure, and office interior contracting and carpentry
within the U.K. with materials purchased from third party suppliers. Since
acquisition and to June 30, 2000, Timtec has been contracted to work on three
projects.
The business engaged in by TimTec is interior fitting and joinery in the retail,
hotel and residential sectors. This work includes the installation of many
different types of fixtures and fittings including office furniture, carpets,
decorations, shop counters, suspended ceilings, light fittings and window and
door joinery.
COMMUNICATIONS
Software distribution
Easy IP is a distributor of third party developed software. With a base of over
300 ultimate customers (such as retailers, local municipalities and
universities) in the U.K., Easy IP holds the sole rights in the U.K. to
distribute to such customers Microplex software and is one of a select number of
U.K. software distributors of Attachmate, Netmanage and Netopia. These software
products specialize in providing connectivity solutions such as terminal
emulation or network file systems between personal computers and mainframes.
Easy IP is not involved in software design. The distribution function of Easy IP
comprises a sale of appropriate software to meet specific customer requirements
following consultation with the customer. Other than in relation to the sole
rights in the U.K. to Microplex, Easy IP does not have exclusive software
distribution rights. In respect of the Company's future business strategy, it is
planned that Easy IP distributed software will allow customers to use computer
systems which could be installed within an application linking platform provided
by the Company. The Company is targeting Easy IP customers who have a potential
intelligent building development requirement, e.g., retailers, local authorities
and universities.
Sale of specialist communication products
One of the Company's subsidiaries, RTC, Inc. ("RTC"), based in Maryland, finds
and sources specialist communication products on behalf of U.S. government
departments who engage the Company. Revenues are generated based on a commission
of the contract value of the products supplied. The intention of management is
to develop RTC as the U.S. supplier of the Company's application linking
platform. RTC entered into an agreement on November 1, 1999 with Intelect
Network Technologies Company ("Intelect") under which the Company has been
granted the non-exclusive rights to market and promote the sales of certain
Intelect software products including FibreTrax, a major component of the
application linking platform, in the states of Virginia, West Virginia,
Maryland, Georgia and the district of Washington, DC.
On-line telephony services
One of the Company's subsidiaries, EuroTelecom Connect Limited, an English
limited company which was incorporated on September 16, 1999, was established as
an ASP in September, 1999 in order to deliver the following customer
applications:
o teleconference center - the ability to establish and manage
teleconferences over a public telephone network
o presentation center - the ability to provide Internet-based presentations
o message center - a unified messaging service that will enable subscribers
to retrieve, manage and send voice mail, e-mail and fax messages that can
be accessed from any Internet enabled PC or any standard touch tone
telephone

<PAGE>
On September 22, 1999, the Company was appointed as a sales agent in the U.K.
for products of TelePost Limited ("Telepost"), a U.S. based supplier of
connectivity software to be used in telephony applications. The agreement is for
an initial period of three years and may be renewed for a further three years.
To June 30, 2000 this aspect of the Company's business has not generated any
revenues. It is anticipated that revenues will be generated from the
installation of telephony applications.
SOURCE AND AVAILABILITY OF MATERIALS AND THE NAMES OF PRINCIPAL SUPPLIERS
The Company sources its fax machines from Cryptek Communications Inc. in the
U.S. There is generally a lead time of two to three months for the delivery of
such items. The CCTV equipment used in Commercial security is typically
available within seven days of placing the order. The principal supplier is
Norbain Ltd. in the U.K. The FibreTrax product is sourced from Intelect Network
Technologies, Inc., in the U.S., with a lead time before supply of three to four
weeks.
GOVERNMENTAL APPROVAL/RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company does not require government approval for any of its principal
products and services. The Company has not incurred research and development
costs in the year ended December 31, 1998 or in the period to June 30, 1999. In
the year ended June 30, 2000, the Company incurred research and development
costs of $717,000 relating principally to the development of EuroTelecom Connect
Limited, the Company's ASP telephony services provider. None of the costs were
born by the Company's customers.
SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS
Customers accounting for in excess of ten percent of total consolidated revenues
are as follows. In the year to June 30, 2000, the Company had one customer, the
U.K. Ministry of Defense (sale of equipment), which accounted for 14 percent of
total consolidated revenues. In the six months to June 30, 1999, the Company had
two customers which each accounted for in excess of ten percent of total
consolidated revenues. These were Chelsfield plc (installation of CCTV facility
at Merryhill Shopping Center in Birmingham in the U.K.), which accounted for 20
percent, and the U.K. Ministry of Defense (sale of equipment and installation of
secure computer networks), which accounted for 14 percent, of total consolidated
revenues.
EFFECT OF EXISTING OR PROBABLE GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS ON THE BUSINESS
Continuing deregulation of the European telecommunications industry is creating
new opportunities for the Company. The effect of deregulation will be to open up
the broadband e-commerce networks in the U.K. and the rest of Europe.
EuroTelecom expects to be able to take advantage of these developments.
In addition, in the public sector, the U.K. government has continued the policy
of "Public Private Partnerships" initiated by the previous Conservative
government. This enables EuroTelecom to enter into such partnerships with
defense and local government agencies for the provision of integrated network
services. The successful bid by the Company for a contract to provide facilities
management at the Army Foundation College in the U.K. is an example of this type
of partnership the first of what are believed to be many such opportunities.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
The Company is not a primary technology developer and manufacturer. The Company
is not dependent on any patents and/or other proprietary intellectual property
rights which the Company considers are of fundamental importance to the
Company's business.
The technology which is used for the application linking platform has been
provided under two main agreements. One is an exclusive U.K. supply agreement
with a US based supplier of fiber optic tracking (the "FibreTrax Agreement"- see
below) which is used as the backbone in the application linking platform for the
11
<PAGE>
Company's intended core business. The agreement is exclusive in the U.K. and
non-exclusive in the rest of Europe. In addition, the Company has entered into a
non-exclusive supply agreement with the same U.S. based supplier for the
non-exclusive rights in certain U.S. states for the supply to the Company of the
same technology platform (the "SonetLYNX Agreement"- see below).
Under the FibreTrax agreement dated December 1, 1999, the Company acquired the
sole distribution rights to the fiber optic access product (known as FibreTrax)
in the U.K. The agreement is for an initial term of one year to November 30,
2000, and may be renewed for a further five years unless notice is given by
either party at least 30 days prior to the termination of the agreement. The
supplier is permitted to terminate the agreement for breach if the forecast
annual sales by the Company of FibreTrax software (currently $2 million) are not
reached. The Company expects this target will be met although there can be no
assurance in this regard. If the supply agreement is terminated then the Company
believes an appropriate alternative manufacturer and supplier for such product
could be found without a significant effect on the business or financial
position of the Company.
Under the SonetLYNX agreement, dated November 1, 1999, the Company acquired the
non-exclusive distribution rights to the products SonetLYNX, LANscape Video
Conferencing, FibreTrax and OmmLYNX for Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland,
Georgia and Washington D.C. The agreement is terminable on 90 days' notice at
any time. As of September 30, 2000, no written notice of termination had been
given or received and the agreement has therefore automatically been renewed for
one year to September 30, 2001. The Commpany is entitled to a commission on a
negotiated percentage of sales.
COMPETITION
In each of the sectors in which the Company operates it encounters varying
degrees of competitiveness. In the application linking business, the Company
believes that the barriers are sufficient to discourage competitors in the short
term. The technology used is not widely available although it is available to
some large U.K. companies such as British Telecommunications plc, Marconi,
Energis plc and Cable and Wireless plc. The Company is not aware of any
companies in the U.K. currently adopting the same approach as the Company to
applications linking. The Company believes with the first application linking
platform having been installed at "Printworks", it is establishing itself in a
leading position in the market place with few competitors having similar skills
and knowledge. In the defense computer consultancy business, the Company is
currently not providing services for the installation of secure computer
networks. This is a market dictated by the needs of very few customers, and the
workflow is dependent on their overall requirements. The commercial security
business is competitive with numerous competitors actively pursuing new
customers. The Company competes directly or indirectly for customers with the
following U.K. companies: The Shorock Group Ltd., Chubb Security Ltd., Group 4
Security Services Ltd., and Modern Alarms Limited. The Company believes that
there are very few companies offering one particular aspect of its own security
service as part of a security package and this is the Company's central
monitoring station. The air conditioning sector is highly competitive with
numerous companies specializing in this market. The Company provides an overall
service with commercial security and potential monitoring of the building from
an external location that, the Company believes, gives it a competitive
advantage. The Company couples this with a competitive pricing structure. The
on-line telephony business operates in a highly competitive sector. However,
with the Telepost agreement now signed, the Company considers that it has a
product to rival the conferencing facilities provided by British
Telecommunications plc, the Company's principal competitor in this area. In the
software distribution business, Easy IP operates in a very competitive market
with competitors like Unipalm Ltd., Open Computing Ltd., Unidirect Ltd. and
Computer 2000 Ltd. Computer 2000 Ltd. is a co-distributor of Attachmate
products. RTC operates in a highly competitive environment, with numerous
companies specializing in this market. RTC relies on providing a first class
response to clients' needs at a competitive price.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
On April 5, 2000, the Company issued 11,220,118 of its Class A Common Stock to
numerous parties in the U.K. at a price of $2.40 per share, raising gross
proceeds of $ 26,938,283 of which $23,398,000 net proceeds were received by the
Company. The underwriters were Beeson Gregory. The total underwriting commission
paid to Beeson Gregory by the Company was $569,600 comprised of (i) a corporate
finance fee of $400,000 (of which $120,000 was satisfied by the issue of 50,000
Class A Common Stock to Beeson Gregory at $2.40 per share of Class A Common
Stock), (ii) a placing commission of $169,600, which was two percent on the
aggregate value of 3,533,333 of the shares of Class A Common Stock at $ 2.40 per
share of Class A Common Stock. The Company placed its securities of Class A
Common Stock with U.K. institutions in reliance on Regulation S under the
Securities Act of 1934 ("Securities Act") in an off-shore transaction made to
non-U.S. persons. The following matters, among others, were brought to the
attention of investors applying for the Company's Class A Common Stock who were
required to represent the same in applying for such securities: that the
securities offered were "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 and as such were offered on the
basis that they must not be offered, sold or delivered in the U.S. or to, or for
the account or benefit of, any U.S. person, that certificates relating to the
sold securities bear a legend to the effect that they may not be offered, sold,
pledged or otherwise transferred except (i) in an offshore transaction meeting
the requirements of Rule 903 or Rule 904 of Regulation S, (ii) pursuant to an
effective registration statement, or (iii) pursuant to an available exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and that, in addition
to the restrictions applicable to such securities under the Securities Act, the
Company's Certificate of Designations, Powers, Preferences and Rights
designating the Company's Class A Common Stock prohibits the transfer of such
shares (i) to any U.S. Person and (ii) in any transaction other than an Offshore
Transaction (as such terms are defined under Regulation S).
The Company intended to use the proceeds to fund the following:
o Strategic acquisitions
o Marketing activities and brand development of the Group's products and
services
o The development of new business opportunities and joint ventures
o The Company's working capital requirements, particularly with respect to
major products.
To date the Company has used the proceeds to acquire the trade and assets of
Timtec and invest in Q.Ton Limited.
On May 12, 2000, the Company sold 794,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to
Amanda Staveley in exchange for 20 percent of the outstanding share capital of
Q.ton Limited, an English company. The Company's shares of Class A Common Stock
were sold in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1934.
On March 28, 2000, the Company entered into a lease agreement in the U.K. with
the Farfield Syndicate for a lease of premises at Farfield Park, Manvers, South
Yorkshire in England, in exchange for an agreement to issue at a future date to
Farfield Syndicate 41,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock at a
price of $2.51 per share, to be sold in reliance on Regulation S under the
Securities Act of 1934.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The table below sets forth the results of operations for the two years ended
June 30, 2000. The Company changed its year end to June 30 from December 31. As
a result the previous audited periods were the six months June 30, 1999 and the
year ended December 31, 1998. To assist with a meaningful comparison the Company
has prepared an unaudited statement of operations for the year ended June 30,
1999.
<TABLE>

Net loss per share (0.37) (0.44)
</TABLE>
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 ("Fiscal 2000"), the Company operated
three segments: Projects, Services and Communications.
Accordingly, the Company's results of operations are discussed on the basis of
these three segments.
Revenues
In Fiscal 2000, the Company's gross revenues from operations were $9,737,850, as
compared to $1,354,971 from operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999
("Fiscal 1999"), an increase of $8,383,879 (618 percent).
Revenues for each segment were as follows:
Fiscal 2000 ($) % Fiscal 1999 ($) %
--------------- - --------------- -
Projects 2,870,682 29 443,042 33
Services 3,914,312 40 380,004 28
Communications 2,952,856 31 531,925 39
------------ --- ------------ ---
9,737,850 100 1,354,971 100
============ === ============ ===
Of the increase in revenues from Projects $804,878 was generated from the design
and installation of application linking at Q.ton and Printworks, both of which
are new sources of revenue this year. $1,260,741 of the Projects increase was a
result of the profit from the sale of ninety-four facsimile machines against no
revenues from this source in Fiscal 1999. The remainder of the increase in
revenue in Fiscal 2000 of $362,021 was generated from the same source as in
Fiscal 1999.
Of the increase in Services revenues, $2,044,321, is attributable to the sale
and installation of air conditioning units, being a new business segment in
Fiscal 2000 compared to Fiscal 1999. The remainder of the increase of $1,489,987
arose from an increase in consultancy work undertaken in ECL.
16
<PAGE>
Of revenues from Communications for Fiscal 2000, $353,443 was derived from the
RTC subsidiary and $2,599,413 was derived from the Easy IP subsidiary. No
revenues, as yet, have been derived from EuroTelecom Connect. All revenues from
Communications for Fiscal 1999 were derived from Easy IP, which in turn only
included three months of activity compared to a full year's activity. Cost of
Revenues
Costs incurred by the Company in producing revenues in Fiscal 2000 were
$7,558,459, compared with $803,178 in Fiscal 1999, an increase of 901 percent.
Costs of revenues for each segment were as follows:
Fiscal 2000 ($) Fiscal 1999 ($)
---------------- ---------------
Projects 2,081,755 209,673

Gross Profit
For Fiscal 2000, the Company returned a gross profit of $2,180,391, compared
with a gross profit of $551,793 for Fiscal 1999, an increase of 295 percent. The
gross profit for each segment is as follows:
Fiscal 2000 ($) % Fiscal 1999 ($) %
--------------- - --------------- -
Projects 789,927 36 233,369 42

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses increased $6,866,427,
from $2,148,395 in Fiscal 1999, to $9,014,822 in Fiscal 2000, an increase of 320
percent. Director's compensation increased in Fiscal 2000 to $984,140, compared
with $180,838 in Fiscal 1999, an increase of $803,302, or 444%. The increase is
due to additional directors being appointed in the period. Wages and salaries
increased in Fiscal 2000 to $3,948,341, compared with $396,951 in Fiscal 1999,
an increase of $3,551,390 or 895%. The increase is due to the hiring of
additional personnel to take account of the increased revenues and the potential
revenues in the future. No general increase in salary levels for existing
employees was made. Rent and rates increased in Fiscal 2000 to $260,917,
compared with $42,805 in Fiscal 1999, an increase of $218,112 or 509%. The
increase is due to the opening of additional offices in the period. Consultancy
charges decreased in Fiscal 2000 to $608,242, compared with $824,204 in Fiscal
1999, a decrease of $215,962 or 26%. The Company hired more personnel in the
period who had the relevant expertise required, thus negating the need to hire
consultants. The sales and marketing expense increased in Fiscal 2000 to
$512,513, compared with $47,889 for Fiscal 1999, an increase of $464,624, or
970%. The increase is due to the Company's decision to have a high profile in
the sales of its products and services. Telephone and office expenses increased
to $169,661 in Fiscal 2000, compared with $74,175 in Fiscal 1999, an increase of
$95,486 or 129%. The increase is due to the increased hiring of personnel in the
period. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the segments were as
follows:
17
<PAGE>
Fiscal 2000 ($) % Fiscal 1999 ($) %
--------------- - --------------- -
Projects 6,593,058 73 1,742,138 81

-------------- -------- ----------- -------
9,014,822 100% 2,148,395 100%
-------------- -------- ----------- -------
The increases in each segment were substantial as the Company continued to build
its technology infrastructure, hire more personnel, operate new companies and
acquire new distribution rights to the fiber optic access product (known as
FibreTrax) in the U.K. from Intelect Network Technologies Company (INT),
acquired through RTC the non-exclusive distribution rights to the products,
SonetLYNX, LANscape Video Conferencing, FibreTrax and Omnilynx.
The cost of revenues has in the year ended June 30, 2000 increased, primarily
due to the increased level of operations in all segments of the business,
together with the acquisitions completed in the period.
Costs of revenues comprise the direct cost associated with the revenues which
includes the purchase of equipment, air conditioning units, application linking
platforms, fiber optic cabling, CCTV units, software products and facsimile
machines.
The Company expects the cost of revenues to grow in conjunction with the growth
of the overall business and accordingly expect these costs to increase in the
future.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $51,440 in Fiscal 1999 to
$318,516 in Fiscal 2000, which represents an increase of 519 percent. The
Company spent significant additional sums on capital expenditures together with
a full year's amortization of goodwill recorded on Easy IP compared to three
months in Fiscal 1999.
The depreciation and amortization expense for the segments were as follows:
Fiscal 2000 ($) % Fiscal 1999 ($) %
--------------- - --------------- -
Projects 213,933 67 26,398 51
Services 93,248 29 24,000 47
Communications 11,335 4 1,042 2
-------------- -------- ----------- -------
$318,516 100% 51,440 100%
-------------- -------- ----------- -------
Financial Items
Financial items resulted in an interest expense of $57,132 in Fiscal 2000,
compared to an interest expense of $34,970 in Fiscal 1999. Interest income was
$218,676 in Fiscal 2000, compared to $121 in Fiscal 1999. The increase in
interest income was attributable to the investment of net proceeds of $23 millon
from a private placement on the AIM Market in London in the fourth quarter of
Fiscal 2000.

<PAGE>
A Loan Agreement dated February 11, 1999 was executed between the New Lenders,
the Company, ECL, Secure Networks, and Philip Derry and Jacqueline Derry. Each
of the New Lenders were entitled to convert any part of their loans made under
this Agreement into shares of Common Stock. The New Lenders exercised this right
and were issued 5,500,000 shares on July 1, 1999. The Company recorded a
beneficial conversion expense of $919,000 in Fiscal 1999 arising from the terms
of the loan.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's principal intention over the next twelve months and beyond is to
fund (i) acquisitions, (ii) additional working capital, (iii) capital
expenditure, (iv) marketing and (v) the development of its technology.
The Company does not currently have any commitments for capital expenditure
during the next fiscal year, although the Company may make such expenditures if
an opportunity consistent with the Company's business strategy presents itself.
Working Capital
At June 30, 2000, the Company had $20,165,938 in current assets of which cash
and cash equivalents amounted to $12,114,225. Current liabilities were
$4,979,546 at June 30, 2000. At June 30, 1999, the Company had $1,512,407 in
current assets, of which $Nil consisted of cash and cash equivalents. Working
Capital at the end of Fiscal 2000 was $15,186,391 as compared to ($245,369) at
the end of Fiscal 1999. The increase in working capital is attributable to the
Company's completion of a private placement of equity in the fourth quarter of
Fiscal 2000 resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $23 millon. The ratio of
current assets to current liabilities was 4.0 to 1.0 at the end of Fiscal 2000
as compared to 0.9 to 1.0 at the end of Fiscal 1999.
After the admission of the Company's Class A Common Stock and Common Stock to
the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange, which raised
gross proceeds of $26,938,283,has no current requirements for any bank overdraft
or loans facilities.
Cashflow from Operations
For Fiscal 2000, the Company used net cash in operating activities of
$8,630,000. The main components were the net loss of $7,069,000 and adverse
movements in working capital balances of $2,949,000. Of this amount $2,323,000
related to unbilled amounts or uncompleted contracts.
Cashflow from Investing Activities
For Fiscal 2000, the Company had a net cash outflow from investing activities of
$4,417,000. The Company purchased fixed assets of $1,773,000, and also acquired
the trade and assets of Timtec for $1,041,000 together with its investment in
Q.Ton of $1,177,000 and the balance of the consideration of Easy IP. The Company
does not currently have any commitments for capital expenses during the next
fiscal year, but the Company may make such expenditures if an opportunity
consistent with the Company's business strategy presents itself.
Cashflow from Financing Activities
For Fiscal 2000, the Company had a net cash inflow from financing activities of
$25,042,000. The Company received total net proceeds of $25,304,000 from private
placement of shares including net proceeds of $23,398,000 arising from the
Company's listing on The Alternative Investment Market.

Recent Developments
The Company has recently been awarded a seven-year facilities management
contract by Jarvis Facilities Limited, part of Jarvis plc. The initial contact
is for approximately $395,000 per year for seven years, and may be extended up
to a total of 30 years. The Company is to provide facilities management services
together with IT and telecommunications services at the U.K. Army Foundation
College at Harrogate, North Yorkshire. The site is a new training campus to
accommodate 1,400 students for IT based academic courses. The Company will
provide an on site service team and will procure telephony and IT hardware.
Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
133, as amended by SFAS No. 137 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities," which requires the Company to value derivative financial
instruments, including those used for hedging foreign currency exposures, at
current market value with the impact of any change in market value being charged
against earnings in each period. SFAS No. 133 will be effective for and adopted
by the Company in the first quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001. The
Company has not in the past nor does it anticipate that it will engage in
transactions involving derivative instruments, and therefore does not expect
this pronouncement to have any effect on the financial statements.
In December 1999, the Securities Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition". This bulletin summarizes views
of the Staff on applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue
recognition in financial statements. The Company will be required to adopt SAB
No. 101, as amended by SAB 101B, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001.
Management believes that the current revenue recognition policy complies with
the guidelines in SAB No. 101B, and, therefore, does not believe the adoption of
SAB No. 101B will have a material impact on the financial position or results of
operations.
In March 2000, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for
Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation an interpretation of APB
Opinion 25." Interpretation No. 44 is effective July 1, 2000. Interpretation No.
44 clarifies the application of APB Opinion 25 for various matters,
specifically: the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a
non-compensatory plan; the accounting consequence of various modifications of
the terms of a previously fixed stock option or award; and the accounting for an
exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination. Management
believes that the adoption of Interpretation No. 44 will not have a material
impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In March 2000, the FASB's Emerging Issue Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus
on EITF 00-2, "Accounting for Web Site Development Costs." EITF 00-2 discusses
how an entity should account for costs incurred to develop a web site. The EITF
is effective in the first quarter of Fiscal 2001. Management believes that the
adoption of EITF 00-2 will not have a material impact on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements for the Company's fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 are
incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 99.7.
ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On August 30, 2000, the Company dismissed its independent public accountants,
Crouch, Bierwolf & Chisholm. Crouch, Bierwolf & Chisholm's report on the
Company's financial statements for the past two fiscal years of the Company did
not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and did not make any
qualifications or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles. During such period and any subsequent interim period preceding such
dismissal the Company had no disagreement with its former independent public
accountants on any matter of accounting principals or practices, financial
statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, nor did there occur any
other matter that was an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue
required to be disclosed under this Item 8. The decision to dismiss the
Company's independent public accountants was approved by the Board of the
Company on August 28, 2000. Pursuant to the recommendation of management and the
approval of the Board of Directors, the Company appointed BDO Stoy Hayward,
effective August 30, 2000, as the Company's independent accountants for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2000.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS
EUROTELECOM COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
EuroTelecom Communications, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2000
and the related statement of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements
based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing

and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the

significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of EuroTelecom Communications, Inc. and subsidiaries as of

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS
EUROTELECOM COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations
of EuroTelecom Communications, Inc. and subsidiaries and related
statements of stockholders' deficit, comprehensive loss and cash flows
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and the year ended December 31,
1998. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these consolidated 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 audits
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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations of
EuroTelecom Communications, Inc. and subsidiaries and cash flows for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 and the year ended December 31,
1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As
discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company's recurring operating losses and lack of working capital 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 10. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the financial
statements of EuroTelecom and its subsidiaries and affiliate.
EuroTelecom Secure Networks Limited is recorded as a closed
subsidiary in the period ended June 30, 1999 since it ceased
operations on February 19. All significant intercompany transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in affiliates are
accounted for using the equity method when the Company owns at least
20% but no more than 50% of such affiliates. Under the equity method
the Company records its proportionate share of profits and losses
based on its percentage interest in those affiliates.
(b) GOODWILL
The excess of cost of investments over the fair value of net assets
acquired which is not otherwise allocated is determined to be
goodwill and is amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of
5 years.
(c) LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, goodwill
and investments in affiliates, are evaluated for impairment when
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of the assets may not be recoverable through the estimated
undiscounted future cash flows from the use of these assets. When
any such impairment exists, the related assets will be written down
to fair value. An impairment write-down related to an investment of
$44,000 was necessary for fiscal 2000, $Nil for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 and $Nil for fiscal 1998.
(d) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line
method over estimated useful life of up to seven years.
(e) INCOME TAXES
The Company recognises deferred tax liabilities and assets for the
expected future tax consequences of events that have been included
in the financial statements or tax returns. Accordingly, deferred
tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference
between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and
liabilities using enacted rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognised in
income in the period that includes the enactment date.
A valuation allowance is established to reduce the deferred tax
assets when management determines it is more likely than not that
the related tax benefits will not be realised.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(f) REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues comprise:
i) Sale of equipment and software which is recognised when
shipped.
ii) Provision of consultancy and security services is recognised
as services are performed.
iii) Provision of maintenance and monitoring services is
recognised on a straight line basis over the period of the
contract.
iv) The Company recognizes revenues from fixed-price and
modified fixed-price application linking and fit-out
contracts on the percentage of completion method, measured
by the percentage of cost incurred to date to estimated
total cost for each contract. That method is used because
management considers total cost to be the best available
measure of progress on the contracts. Because of inherent
uncertainties in estimating costs, it is at least reasonably
possible that the estimates used will change within the near
term.
Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs
and in the case of fit-out costs an element of indirect
costs are included. Selling, general and administrative
costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for
estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the
period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job
performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may
result in revisions to costs and income, which are
recognized in the period in which the revisions are
determined. Changes in estimated job profitability are
accounted for as changes in estimates in the current period.
The asset "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of
billings on uncompleted contracts," represents revenues
recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability,
"Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on
uncompleted contracts," represents billings in excess of
revenues recognized.
(g) FOREIGN CURRENCIES
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar.
The Company's functional currency is the United Kingdom pound
sterling for the majority of its business.
For consolidation purposes, the assets and liabilities of overseas
subsidiaries are translated at the closing exchange rates.
Consolidated statements of income of such subsidiaries are
consolidated at the average rates of exchange during the period.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of subsidiaries'
financial statements are recorded in the cumulative foreign currency
translation adjustment account as a component of stockholders'
equity.
(h) CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers
all investments with an original maturity of three months or less to
be a cash equivalent.

2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(i) INVENTORY
Inventories are stated at lower of cost using the first in first out
method, or market.
(j) USE OF ESTIMATES
In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles, management is
required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and
revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results
could differ from these estimates.
(k) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments held by the Company include cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable and payable, notes payable and
approximated fair value as of June 30, 2000 due to either short
maturity or terms similar to those available to similar companies in
the open market. The investment in affiliated company approximated
fair value as of June 30, 2000 due to the fact that it was recently
acquired.
(l) ADVERTISING COSTS
The company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising
costs in fiscal 2000, six months ended June 30, 1999 and fiscal 1998
were $129,000, $10,000 and $Nil respectively.
(m) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
("SFAS") No.130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which establishes
standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its
components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined
to include all changes in equity except those resulting from
investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other
disclosures, SFAS No.130 requires that all items that are required
to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.
The only item of comprehensive income is foreign currency exchange
translation adjustments.
(n) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company incurred research and development costs of $717,000,
$Nil and $Nil for fiscal 2000, six months ended June 30, 1999 and
fiscal 1998 respectively.
(o) STOCK COMPENSATION
The Company applies the recognition and measurement provisions of
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees" and the disclosure provisions of SFAS No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" in accounting for
stock options issued to employees. The Company follows the fair
value method of accounting prescribed by SFAS No. 123 for stock
issued in exchange for services.

(p) EARNING PER SHARE
The Company follows SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per share," which
requires presentation of basic earnings per share and diluted
earnings per share by all entities that have publicly traded common
stock or potential common stock (options, warrants, convertible
securities or contingent stock arrangements). Basic earnings per
share is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share gives
effect to dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the
year. Assumed exercise of options and warrants has not been included
in the calculation of diluted loss per share since the effect would
be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share
do not differ for any period presented. At June 30, 2000 there were
223,600 warrants and 965,762 options outstanding. The shares related
to these options and warrants are excluded from the earnings per
share due to the anti-dilutive affect.
(q) EFFECT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137 "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which requires the
Company to value derivative financial instruments, including those
used for hedging foreign currency exposures, at current market value
with the impact of any change in market value being charged against
earnings in each period. SFAS No. 133 will be effective for and
adopted by the Company in the first quarter of the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2001. The Company has not in the past nor does it
anticipate that it will engage in transactions involving derivative
instruments, and therefore does not expect this pronouncement to
have any effect on the financial statements.
In December 1999, the Securities Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition". This
bulletin summarizes views of the Staff on applying generally
accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial
statements. The Company will be required to adopt SAB No. 101, as
amended by SAB 101B, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001.
Management believes that the current revenue recognition policy
complies with the guidelines in SAB No. 101 and, therefore, does not
believe the adoption of SAB No. 101B will have a material impact on
the financial position or results of operations.
In March 2000, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 44,
"Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation an
interpretation of APB Opinion 25". Interpretation No. 44 is
effective July 1, 2000. Interpretation No. 44 clarifies the
application of APB Opinion 25 for various matters, specifically: the
criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a
non-compensatory plan; the accounting consequence of various
modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock option or
award; and the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation
awards in a business combination. Management believes that the
adoption of Interpretation No. 44 note will not have a material
impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In March 2000, the FASB's Emerging Issue Task Force ("EITF") reached
a consensus on EITF 00-2, "Accounting for Web Site Development
Costs". EITF 00-2 discusses how an entity should account for costs
incurred to develop a web site. The EITF is effective in the first
quarter of fiscal 2001. Management believes that the adoption of
EITF 00-2 will not have a material impact on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

11 INCOME TAXES
The Company did not provide any current or deferred US federal, state
or foreign income tax provision or benefit for any periods presented
because it has experienced operating losses since inception. The
Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax
asset, consisting primarily of net operating loss, because of
uncertainty regarding its realizability.
As June 30, 2000 the majority of the losses carried forward arise in
the UK. Under UK legislation the net operating losses can, subject to
certain restrictions, be carried forward indefinitely.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax
purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets
are approximately as follows:
