                   NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  (Unaudited Prepared by Management)
                          SEPTEMBER 30, 1999


1. (i) BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-QSB and
Article 310(b) of Regulation SB.  Accordingly, they do not include all
of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included.  Operating results for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended December 31, 1999.  The unaudited
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10SB for the year ended December 31, 1998.

  (ii) HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY

The Company was organized on June 30, 1989, under the laws of the
State of Nevada, as Homefront Safety Services of Nevada, Inc. and
issued 10,000 common shares for $1,000 in cash.  The Company currently
has no operations and, in accordance with SFAS#7, is considered a
development stage company.  On April 26, 1999, the Company changed its
name to Litewave Corp.

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Foreign currency translation

The Company accounts for foreign currency transactions and translation
of foreign currency financial statements under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation" ("SFAS
52").  Transaction amounts denominated in foreign currencies are
translated at exchange rates prevailing at transaction dates.
Carrying values of monetary assets and liabilities are adjusted at
each balance sheet date to reflect the exchange rate at that date.
Non monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange
rate on the original transaction date.  Gains and losses from
restatement of foreign currency monetary and non-monetary assets and
liabilities are included in income.  Revenues and expenses are
translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates such items
are recognized in earnings.

Stock-based compensation

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," encourages, but does not require, companies
to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation
plans at fair value.  The Company has chosen to account for
stock-based compensation using Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."  Accordingly
compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any,
of the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the date of the
grant over the amount an employee is required to pay for the stock.

Income taxes

Income taxes are provided in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109"), "Accounting for Income
Taxes".  A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all
temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net
operating loss carryforwards.  Deferred tax expenses (benefit) result
from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and
liabilities.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the
opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or
all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax
laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Financial instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of accounts receivable,
advances receivable, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities and note payable.  Unless otherwise noted, it is
management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant
interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial
instruments.  The fair value of these financial instruments
approximate their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and
liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues
and expenses during the year.  Actual results could differ from these
estimates.

Loss per share

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share" ("FAS 128").  Under FAS 128, basic and diluted earnings per
share are to be presented.  Basic earnings per share is computed by
dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding in the period.  Diluted
earnings per share takes into consideration common shares outstanding
(computed under basic earnings per share) and potentially dilutive
common shares.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less.

Capital assets

Capital assets, being computer equipment, are recorded at cost less
accumulated amortization.  Amortization will be provided for over
their useful life using the declining balance method at a rate of 30%
per annum.

New accounting standards

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133") which
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and for hedging activities.  SFAS 133 is effective for all
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.  The
Company does not anticipate that the adoption of the statement will
have a significant impact on its financial statements.

Comprehensive income

In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130 ("SFAS 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive Income".
This statement establishes rules for the reporting of comprehensive
income and its components.  The adoption of SFAS 130 had no impact on
total stockholders' equity as of December 31, 1998.

                                   ===========         ==========

The Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately
$497,645 (1998 - $2,020).  The valuation allowance increased by
$104,121 from $424 during the nine month period ended September 30,
1999.

     The operating loss carryforwards expire as follows:

          2005                $    2,020
          2006                   496,625
                              ----------
                              $  497,645
                              ==========

The Company provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax
asset because of the uncertainty regarding realizability.


7.   SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE FOR NON-CASH OPERATING, FINANCING,
     AND INVESTING ACTIVITIES

The significant non-cash transactions for the year ended December 31,
1998 consisted of the Company issuing 500,000 common shares at a
deemed value of $1,340 as consideration for services rendered.

The significant non-cash transactions for the period ended September
30, 1999 were acquisition of IP Telephony equipment $1,224,000, with
vendor 30 day financing in the amount of $353,000 and 120 day vendor
financing in the amount of $518,000.


8.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS AND COMMITMENTS

     a)   On April 19, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement to
purchase all the assets, intellectual property and technology of
International Communications and Equipment, Inc.  As consideration for
the purchase, the Company will issue 10,300,000 common shares.

     b)   On September 10, 1999, the Company entered into a joint
venture agreement with Crosna Research & Production Association
("Crosna"), incorporated under the laws of the Russian Federation, to
set up an Internet Protocol-telephone network in a number of regions
of the Russian Federation.  The agreement calls for the Company to
incorporate a company under the laws of the Russian Federation and
contribute, in phases, up to $30,000,000 of equipment to the new
company.

     c)   On September 22, 1999, the Company placed an order with
Clarent Corporation effective October 1, 1999 for the purchase of
$1.224 million of VoIP equipment and software for set up of operations
for the Crosna joint venture project.


ITEM 2.  PLAN OF OPERATION

GENERAL

The Company is a development-stage company whose primary business is
the development and delivery of telecom network solutions, products
and services to the global marketplace, and the expansion of worldwide
digital, voice, data and image delivery services via ultra modern
fiber optic, internet circuit, satellite and Public Switched Telephone
Network (PSTN) systems.  The network deployment will utilize gateways,
digital signal processors, and routers coupled to trans-oceanic fiber
optics networks with both originating and terminating facilities
installed in North America, Western Europe, Asia, Russia, China,
Indonesia, and other regions.

The Company has not yet completed the exercise of installing and
operating its initial Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) based
telecommunications system which will provide long distance calling
services to people in Moscow, St. Petersberg, Yazoslavl and Volgogzad
within and outbound from the Russian Federation.

The initial equipment has been ordered, and the gateways have been
shipped to Russia.  During the fourth quarter, the Company intends to
install and test the network in Russia with the command center in the
USA, with the expectation of live operation during the first quarter
of year 2000.  The forecasted traffic volumes are anticipated to
provide positive cash flow within approximately three months of
startup, including providing for payment of the outstanding balance of
the equipment order financed by Clarent Corporation.

The Company plans to expand its network into other European countries
during the year 2000, carrying long distance traffic for national and
regional exchange carriers from country to country.  This expansion
will be financed from equity, debt and cash flow.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since its inception, the Company has had virtually no revenues from
operations and has relied almost exclusively on shareholder loans to
raise working capital to fund operations. At September 30, 1999, the
Company had a working capital deficiency of approximately $184,802 in
bank indebtedness, and current payables of $17,642.  Since that date,
sufficient shareholder loans have been advanced to cover the bank
indebtedness and fund current operations.

While management currently anticipates that a debt or equity financing
will forthcoming, sufficient to allow it to complete the company's
initial phase VoIP network deployment in Russia, no assurances can be
given that the Company will be able to do so. Further, the Company
will need to secure additional funds to allow it to enter into its
subsequent installations of gateways in other European countries.

No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to secure
adequate financing from any source to pursue its current plan of
operation, to meet its obligations or to expand its network
development efforts over the next 12 months. Based upon its past
history, management believes that it may be able to obtain funding in
such manner but is unable to predict with any certainty the amount and
terms thereof. If the Company is unable to obtain needed funds, it
could be forced to curtail or cease its activities.
