PART I
Item 1. Business
--------
Callmate is an international, facilities-based provider of
telecommunications and Internet services. Callmate was formed in 1997 by
Mohammad Saff Gohir to exploit the potential provided by the deregulation of the
United Kingdom telecommunications market and has developed its business by
operating from a low overhead base and identifying several niche markets.
Callmate has identified a market need for telecommunications services for the
Asian community throughout the United Kingdom and this has formed the core of
its business. In addition, through owning its own switching gear, Callmate has
been able to "trade" in wholesale airtime and take advantage of both its own
excess capacity and that of other carriers. Callmate's primary focus is the
market for retail and wholesale services within the United Kingdom and Europe.
Callmate also provides Internet credit card processing and settlement services
to institutions, merchants and consumers.
Callmate is a holding company that conducts business through the following
operating subsidiaries:
. Callmate Telecom Communications Ltd., our wholly-owned subsidiary in
the United Kingdom and primary operating subsidiary which owns our
state-of-the art switching and international gateway facilities.
. Calltel (PVT) Ltd., a Pakistanian company, in which we hold a 65%
interest and through which we provide pre-paid calling card services.
A. Callmate Telecom Communication Ltd.("Callmate Telecom") - Product,
Services and Technology
Callmate Telecom has installed state-of-the-art switching and International
Gateway facilities. As a facilities-based international service provider,
Callmate Telecom offers carriers and international companies seamless end-to-end

satellite communications links. Additionally, Callmate's rapidly-growing
switching capacity holds the key to providing international communications
services to destinations in Europe, Africa and Asia, without multiple or
"double- hop" satellite transmissions or through non-US carriers. These services
throughout the European continent will enable Callmate Telecom to provide cost-
efficient transport that non-facilities and facilities-based carriers alike can
take advantage of to connect to Callmate Telecom's network and realize
significant savings and network efficiency.
Callmate Telecom also offers users a full range of enhanced services,
including customized billing, Internet access, global virtual private networks,
calling card services and international freephone and private lines in

cost-effective communications service for international long distance telephony
and facsimile services.
Regardless of the caller's country location, a call can be made to any
other country at savings of more than 60% as compared to placing the call

How does the call-back Service Work?
Callmate Telecom uses a computer call re-origination system that lets you
call to or from anywhere in the world as if you were calling from the United
Kingdom. Our customers will have access to a telephone line that is based and
tariffed within the UK, and this can charge highly competitive UK-based rates to

subscription billing charges. Customers pay only for the calls they make at the
low rates quoted in the Callmate Telecom tariff. All charges are paid
conveniently through a private or company credit card. Each month, Callmate
Telecom sends our customers an itemized account of all their calls for each of
their PIN numbers. We also can provide business clients with an analysis of
their combined monthly traffic.
For Business Travelers on the Move
If our customers are traveling to a number of different places and, for
example, staying in different hotels, they can change the call back number so
that the Callmate Telecom system calls them at their new location. This is done
simply by dialing into a special "Admin" number and following a menu of voice
prompts, which will tell them how to change the call back number. Instructions
on how to use this valuable
6
<PAGE>
service is given when a new account is opened.
Security
The combination of the customer's access number and PIN number which is
unique to the customer provides a high level of protection against fraud or
unauthorized use of an account because the customer is the only person who knows
both numbers. A customer can change the PIN as often as they like and for any
reason.
Freedom
As a Callmate Telecom subscriber, customers can use our Call-back service
to make international calls from any touch tone phone and only pay our "free
market" prices, not the inflated rates of state-owned monopolies. And if
customers use Call-back from their mobile phone, they pay our low cost rates,
not other supplier's inflated rates.
Call-Back Rates & Charges
Since calls with the Call-Back service are always originated in the UK,
charges are calculated by adding the rate from the switching system to their
location and the rate from the switching system to their destination number. As
an example, if a customer were in Australia and wanted to place a call to the
USA, the following charges will apply:
UK to Australia: 12pence per minute, UK to USA: 8pence per minute,
total:20pence per minute. (Representation of process and charges of using Call-
Back to connect from Australia to the USA).
For Calls made to final-destination numbers in the UK from outside the
country, 5pence per minute must be added to the rate of the country our
customers are in.
(v) Wholesale Products
If a company is a reseller or service provider of international
telecommunications services of any kind, Callmate Telecom can provide a wide
range of wholesale services, tailored to their individual needs and
significantly reducing their costs. We provide a service package to meet their
individual needs. There are no hidden costs and we can give even bigger
discounts if traffic volumes are high. The service(s) they choose will depend on
their international traffic levels and the types of services they provide to
their customers.

B. CallTell (PVT) Ltd.
In July 1998 Callmate announced that it has subscribed for 65% of the
issued capital of CallTell (PVT) Ltd. ("CallTell"). CallTell has been awarded
one of only 3 pre-paid calling card licenses by the Pakistan Telecommunication
Company Ltd. CallTell will operate and maintain a non exclusive pre-paid
calling card service solely for outgoing international calls DTMF (tone) phones
in Pakistan. CallTell also has signed a contract with the Pakistan State Oil
Company to supply it with prepaid Telephone Calling Cards.
C. Callmate also intends to provide telecommunication and Internet based
services through the following entity:
. INFONET: In January 2000, Callmate entered into an agreement to
purchase a 25% equity interest in INFONET, Which as of August 31, 2000
has not occured, the second largest Internet service provider (ISP) in
Karachi, Pakistan.
Upon completion of the acquisition of INFONET, Callmate will enhanced the
number of access ports by 120% and bandwidth by 400%. This will make INFONET's
service much more efficient, leading to a projected doubling of subscribers in
the near term. Prior to the agreement, the existing ports were utilized with
95% capacity during peak hours.
Callmate intends to open a chain of Cybercafes which will be developed
and managed by Callmate.
8
<PAGE>
If proven successful, Callmate will initiate 20 facilities towards the latter
part of 2001 and franchise additional cafes nationwide to over 300 potential
investors. The investors will be fully trained and qualified by Callmate, and if
accepted, offered a turnkey operation.
INFONET, under Callmate's management, intends to sell Internet and
bandwidth to these Cybercafes. While enabling Callmate to earn royalties on the
usage of the Company's Internet service, the Cybercafes will enhance the
Company's customer base as these customers purchase their own hardware. This
arrangement will also create an opportunity for greater Internet awareness in
Pakistan. Callmate is not interested in becoming involved in or deriving
royalties from the sales of coffee and/or food from Cybercafe operations.
Competition
The Company's market segment is highly competitive. Many of the Company's
competitors have or may obtain significantly greater financial and marketing
resources than the Company, enabling them to compete more effectively than the
Company.
Employees
The Company currently employs 39 persons, 6 of which are in management, 33
of which are in sales, administration and support staff. Our employees do not
belong to a union and we are not subject to any collective bargaining
agreements. In addition, we believe that the Company's relationship with its
employees is good.

Results of Operations:
Revenues
Revenues for the year ended August 31, 2000 totaled $8,615,092, a decrease of 56
percent from the $19,361,837 of revenues for the comparable period in 1999.
This decrease is attributable to the business substantially reducing its
involvement in the prepaid telephone card market. The business also pulled out
from the European card market to concentrate on the United Kingdom home account
market.
Cost of Sales
For the year ended August 31, 2000, the cost of sales decreased to $9,223,258
from the $16,483,683 of costs for the year ended August 31, 1999. This decrease
is mainly due to the business substantially reducing its involvement in the
prepaid telephone card market. The business also pulled out from the European
card market to concentrate on the United Kingdom home account market.
12
<PAGE>
Gross profit margin decreased 146 percent for the year ended August 31, 2000 to
a gross profit margin of (7) percent from an overall gross profit margin of 15
percent for the year ended August 31, 1999. This is principally attributable to
a pricing policy aimed at obtaining market share in India and Pakistan and
gaining large margin revenue to other geographical regions by virtue of this
market share. Effectively the sales to India and Pakistan became a loss leader.
The marketing policy which lasted for most of the year did not gain sufficient
other revenues and resulted in an overall gross loss.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended August 31, 2000
were $3,280,280 as compared to $3,238,920 for the similar period last year.
This decrease of seven percent of selling, general and administrative expense is
principally attributable to a reduction in marketing costs such as advertising,
this is reflected in turnover. Other expenses have remained fairly constant
despite the fall in revenues.
Other Income
For the year ended August 31, 2000, net interest income amounted to $25,001 as
compared to net interest income of $44,946 for the year ended August 31, 1999.
This decrease is due to a reduction in monies held on deposit.
Other income for the year ended August 31, 2000 of $255,747 as compared to other
income of $257,376 for the year ended August 31, 1999. This decrease is
negligible.
Minority Interest in Loss of Consolidated Subsidiary
For the year ended August 31, 2000, minority interest in loss of consolidated
subsidiary was $0 as compared to $675 for the comparable period in 1999. This
decrease was due to minority interest in Loss of Consolidated Subsidiary.
Income Taxes
Due to the Company's history of operating losses, management has established a
valuation allowance in the full amount of the deferred tax assets arising from
these losses because management believes it is more likely than not that the
Company will not generate sufficient taxable income within the appropriate
period to offset these operating loss carryforwards.
Net Income
Net loss for the year ended August 31, 2000 amounted to $3,816,112 as compared
to a net loss of $57,769 for the year ended August 31, 1999. This increase in
net loss is principally attributable to the aggressive pricing policy adopted in
call sales to India and Pakistan as discussed under gross margin.
Earnings Per Share
For the year ended August 31, 2000, basic and diluted loss per share amounted to
$(.27). For the comparable period in 1999, basic and diluted loss per share
amounted to $(.00). The increase in loss per share is due principally to
the increase in trading loss in the year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating Activities
For the year ended August 31, 2000, net cash used by operating activities
amounted to approximately $986,233, a decrease from the net cash provided by
operating activities of $2,153,627 for the comparable period in 1999. The
increase in cash used is primarily a result of the reduced turnover and margins.
Investment Activities
The Company's investment activities include equipment purchases, deposits for
stock purchases, funding activities to related parties, and net changes in
restricted cash and cash held in trust.
Net cash used by investing activities for the year ended August 31, 2000 was
approximately $554,194, as compared to net cash used by investing activities of
approximately $2,079,076 for the comparable period in 1999. The increase in cash
expended for investing activities is due primarily to acquisition of investments
of $60,000, funds advanced to related parties of approximately $475,000,
fluctuations in restricted cash and cash held in trust, and a reduction in the
acquisition of property and equipment.
Financing Activities
The Company's financing activities include proceeds from stockholder and
payments to advances.
Net cash of $55,140 was provided by financing activities for the year ended
August 31, 2000, as compared to $1,053,735 net cash provided by financing
activities for the comparable period in 1999. The decrease in cash provided by
financing activities results from the company received $850,000 from common
stock issuances in 1999 and had no common stock issuances during 2000.
At August 31, 2000, the Company does not have any material commitments for
capital expenditures other than for those expenditures incurred in the ordinary
course of business.
The Company has sustained losses of $3,816,112 and $57,769 for the years ended
August 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. In addition, the Company has negative
working capital of approximately $5,579,000 at August 31, 2000 and its
liabilities exceed its assets by approximately $3,505,000 at August 31, 2000.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern.
The Company believes that its current operations and cash balances will be
sufficient to satisfy its currently anticipated cash requirements for the next
12 months. However, additional capital could be required in excess of the
Company's liquidity, requiring it to raise additional capital through an equity
offering, secured or unsecured debt financing. The availability of additional
capital resources will depend on prevailing market conditions, interest rates,
and the existing financial position and results of operations of the Company.

Independent Auditors' Report
Board of Directors
Callmate Telecom International, Inc.
Bradford, United Kingdom
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Callmate Telecom
International, Inc. as of August 31, 2000 and 1999 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for
the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the management of Callmate Telecom International, Inc. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. These standards require that we plan and
perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As more fully disclosed in Note 9, summary financial statements as required by
generally accepted accounting principles is not presented for one of the
companies that the Company has an investment in which is accounted for by the
equity method of accounting.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully discussed in
Note 2, the Company incurred an operating loss of approximately $3,816,000
during the year ended August 31, 2000. In addition, the Company has negative
working capital of approximately $5,579,000 and liabilities exceed assets by
approximately $3,505,000 as of August 31, 2000. These factors raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the
event the Company cannot continue in existence.
In our opinion, except for the omission of the information described above, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Callmate Telecom International,
Inc. as of August 31, 2000 and 1999 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
As further discussed in Note 3, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements for 1999 have been restated for a correction of an error that
resulted in the overstatement of cash held in trust accounts and advances from
stockholders in the amount of $850,000.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Years Ended August 31, 2000 and 1999
1. Basis of Presentation and Background Information
The consolidated financial statements present the accounts of Callmate Telecom
International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Conglomerate Telecom (UK)
Limited, which includes a 65 percent interest in Calltel PVT Limited, Callmate
Telecom Communications Limited, Cards Direct Distribution Limited, World Direct
Telecom Limited, Callmate Wholesale Limited, and Global Carrier Services
Limited. The consolidated entities will hereinafter be referred to as the
Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.
The Company's principal line of business is the sale of prepaid calling cards
throughout the United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany, and Pakistan. In addition, the
Company provides to customers in the United Kingdom residential prepaid account
services, business account services, and international call-back services. The
Company's headquarters is located in Bradford, United Kingdom.
The following is a summary of each of the aforementioned companies:
Callmate Telecom International, Inc. (formerly known as Skin Tight, Inc.)
was incorporated in July 1992 and merged effectively December 2, 1998 with
Callmate Telecom (UK) Limited, a private limited company incorporated in
Great Britain in 1996. Subsequent to August 31, 2000, Callmate Telecom (UK)
Limited changed its name to Conglomerate Telecom (UK) Limited. Prior to
this acquisition, Callmate Telecom International, Inc. was a development
stage enterprise.
Pursuant to this merger, Callmate Telecom International, Inc. issued
10,000,000 shares of its stock for all of the stock of Conglomerate Telecom
(UK) Limited. As a result of this acquisition, the stockholders of
Conglomerate Telecom (UK) Limited effectively acquired Callmate Telecom
International, Inc. and control thereof. Accordingly, this acquisition has
been accounted for as a reverse acquisition for financial statement
purposes.
The number of authorized, issued, and outstanding shares of common stock has
been restated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to
reflect the subsequent change in the common stock as if the acquisition had
occurred August 1, 1997.
Calltel PVT Limited, a private limited company, was incorporated in Karachi,
Pakistan in May 1999. Conglomerate Telecom (UK) Limited owns 65 percent of

2. Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. However, the Company has
sustained losses of $3,816,112 and $57,769 for the years ended August 31, 2000
and 1999. In addition, the Company has negative working capital of
approximately $5,579,000 at August 31, 2000 and its liabilities exceed its
assets by approximately $3,505,000 at August 31, 2000. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating
to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company
cannot continue in existence. Management of the Company is currently seeking
additional revenue sources through business acquisitions and expanding its
existing customer base to mitigate the above factors.

Years Ended August 31, 2000 and 1999
3. Correction of Errors
On October 12, 2000, the Company filed Form 8-K/A with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, which reflected cash held in trust accounts of $1,882,886
and advances from stockholders of $1,053,735 at August 31, 1999. Subsequent to
this filing, certain errors resulting in the overstatement of cash held in
trust accounts and advances from stockholders of $850,000 as of August 31, 1999
were discovered by management of the Company. The $850,000 decrease to cash
held in trust accounts and advances from stockholders has been properly
reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition,
minority interest was stated at $56,811 as of August 31, 1999 as the Company had
recorded a negative minority interest due to losses of Calltel PVT Limited.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require
that when losses applicable to the minority interest in a subsidiary exceed the
minority interest in the equity capital of the subsidiary, such excess and any
further losses applicable to the minority interest shall be charged against the
majority interest as there is no obligation of the minority interest to make
good such losses. Therefore, a correction to reduce minority interest to $675
at August 31, 1999, which effectively increased net loss to $57,769 for the year
then ended has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
There was no impact to the earnings per share numbers previously reported as a
result of these corrections.
4. Business Acquisitions and Subsequent Event
On October 30, 1999, the Company entered into an exchange and stock purchase
agreement with American Multicredit, Inc. (AMC), a Florida corporation, and
Diaspora Finance Limited (Diaspora), a Nevis, West Indies corporation. The
terms of the agreement called for the Company to purchase two shares of common
stock of AMC at a cost of $250,000 per share. In addition, the Company was to
issue 3,500,000 shares of Class B common stock to the stockholders of AMC and
Diaspora in exchange for 500 and 501 shares of common stock of AMC and Diaspora,
respectively. As a result of the purchase and exchange, the Company would own a
50.1 percent interest in both AMC and Diaspora. The $500,000 paid by the
Company to AMC was originally reflected as a deposit in other long-term assets.
The agreement with AMC and Diaspora was subsequently canceled and the Company
received the full $500,000 back from AMC.
On March 31, 2000, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with
Zee, Inc. (Zee), a Wyoming corporation, and the stockholders of Zee. Zee was an
inactive shell corporation incorporated in September 1997. The Company purchased
all 660,000 shares of the outstanding common stock of Zee at a cost of $.02 per
share. As a result of this transaction, Zee became a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company. This transaction was accounted for as a purchase of Zee by the
Company and resulted in goodwill of $13,200, which is being amortized over 20
years on the straight-line basis.

4. Business Acquisitions and Subsequent Event (continued)
Pursuant to the share purchase agreement, the Company and Zee entered into a
plan of merger whereby Zee was merged with and into the Company. As a result of

5. Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies followed are:
Effective August 31, 1999, Conglomerate Telecom (UK) Limited changed its
fiscal year-end from July 31st to August 31st. The consolidated financial
statements for the year ended August 31, 1999 include the financial
information of Conglomerate Telecom (UK) Limited for the 13-month period
August 1, 1998 through August 31, 1999.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

5. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash deposits in operating and short-
term investment accounts. At August 31, 2000 and 1999, $598,720 and
$160,866, respectively, of the Company's cash and cash equivalents are held
as restricted deposits for transaction processing.
A portion of the Company's sales are made on credit to various customers
based on each customer's ability to pay. Based on management's review of
accounts receivable, no allowance for doubtful accounts is needed at August
31, 2000 and 1999 to cover losses arising from accounts receivable.
Investments in jointly owned companies and other investees in which the
Company has a 20 percent to 50 percent interest but does not exercise
control are carried at cost, adjusted for the Company's proportionate share
of their undistributed earnings or losses and any adjustments due to
permanent declines in value.
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated by
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets,
generally ranging from three to five years. Maintenance and repairs are
charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and renewals are
capitalized. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of,
the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved,
and any gain or loss is included in income.
When the Company has long-lived assets that have a possible impairment
indicator, the Company estimates the future cash flows from the operation of
these assets. If the estimated cash flows recoup the recorded value of the
assets, they remain on the books at that value. If the net recorded value
cannot be recovered, the assets are written down to their market value if
lower than the recorded value.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated
financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective income 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
tax rates is recognized as income in the period that included the enactment
date.

the year. Diluted loss per common share is calculated by adjusting
outstanding shares, assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive stock
options. There are no potentially dilutive stock options outstanding for
the periods presented.
