Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The unaudited
consolidated financial statements include the results of Advanced Communications
Technologies, Inc. ("ACT" or the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary,
Advanced Global Communications Technologies, Inc. ("AGC"). Financial information
included herein, which is unaudited, reflects in the opinion of management, all
adjustments (all of which are of a recurring nature) that are necessary to
present a fair statement of the interim period. Operating results for the
three-months ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2001. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted. These unaudited interim financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes contained in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2000.
Note 2. Revenue Recognition.
During the three-months ended September 30, 2000, the Company generated revenue
from its telecommunications operations. Prior to July 1, 2000, the Company was
developing its telecommunications business and was a development stage
enterprise.
Revenue is generally recognized at the time and based on the volume of call
service provided to customers and processed by the Company's contractual service
providers.
Note 3. Investment in Affiliate.
On July 24, 2000, the Company formed Australon USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation
owned 50% by the Company and 50% by Australon Enterprise, Pty., Ltd., an 80%
subsidiary of ACT-AU. During the quarter ended September 30, 2000, Australon
USA, Inc. was inactive. The investment will be accounted for using the Equity
Method.
Note 4. Note Payable to Affiliate.
During the quarter, the Company repaid $3,500,000 of its obligation to its
Australian affiliate, Advanced Communications Technologies, Pty, Ltd. ("ACT-AU")
by issuing 5,000,000 shares of its restricted common stock. As of September 30,
2000, the balance of the Company's obligation to ACT-AU was $4,000,000.
Note 5. Stockholder's Equity.
During the three-months ended September 30, 2000, $3,500,000 of the note payable
from Affiliate was converted into 5,000,000 common shares. The shares were
valued at the quoted trading price on the date authorized by the Company's Board
of Directors.
Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies.
As disclosed in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2000, the Company was named as a defendant in two lawsuits filed during the
three-month period ended September 30, 2000. On July 27, 2000, Bank Insinger,
the holder of $150,000 of the Company's 12% Secured Convertible Debentures,
filed an action in the Federal Court in the Eastern District of New York seeking
recovery of the principal amount of the obligation plus accrued interest and
other monetary damages. The Company is currently in discussions with Bank
Insinger to settle their claim.
On September 18, 2000, an action was filed against the Company by Star Multi
Care Services, Inc ("Star") for alleged breach of contract and recovery of a
break-up or termination fee in connection with the Company's failure to
consummate a proposed merger with Star in January 2000. The Company believes
that the suit is without merit
5
<PAGE>
and is vigorously defending the alleged claim.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors, which have affected the Company's financial position and operating
results. Certain statements under this section may constitute "forward-looking
statements". See Part II- Other Information.
(a) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company owns the rights to distribute and sell the "SpectruCell" product
throughout North and South America. Such product is currently being developed,
tested and commercialized by the Company's Australian affiliate. The Company's
wholly owned subsidiary, Advanced Global Communications Technologies, Inc.
("AGC") provides wholesale international telecom services and is the holding
company for all switching and network operations and future planned acquisitions
of other switching and telecommunications companies. AGC currently operates an
international long distance telephone network between the U.S. and Pakistan (the
"U.S.-Pakistan Network"). During the three-month period ended September 30,
2000, all of the Company's revenues were generated by AGC's telecom operations.
Revenues. Revenue for the quarter was $36,739 and was entirely generated from
AGC's U.S.-Pakistan Network and represents a 100% increase from the comparative
three-month period ended September 30, 1999.
Cost of Sales. Cost of direct telephone network sales for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000 was $44,782 and represents a 100% increase from the
comparative three-month period ended September 30, 1999. Because the Company
only recently completed the U.S.-Pakistan Network, the cost of sales reflects
charges and expenses for the entire period of operation notwithstanding that the
revenue from the U.S.-Pakistan Network only reflects call volume for
approximately six weeks.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2000 was $281,988 and represents a 60% decrease in operating costs
from the three-month period ended September 30, 1999. This decrease was
principally attributable to a reduction in professional fees incurred in
exchange for restricted common stock. Employee and consulting costs for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2000 increased 20% to $153,125 from the
three-month period ended September 30, 1999 and is attributable to an increase
in staffing of the California office. Other selling and general & administrative
expenses increased from $62,172 for the quarter ended September 30,
6
<PAGE>
1999 to $115,041 for the three-months ended September 30, 2000, or approximately
85% because of an increase in costs associated with the Company's California
headquarters and the increase in costs devoted to marketing the Company's
business and products.
Interest expense incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $0.
For the comparative period ended September 30, 1999, interest expense was
$657,590 and was principally attributable to the intrinsic value of the Senior
Convertible Debentures issued by the Company.
Other income (loss) for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 includes
the Company's share, under the equity method of accounting, of ACT-AU's
operating loss for the quarter. No loss was reported for the comparative period
ended September 30, 1999, as the Company's investment in ACT-AU was made during
the fourth quarter of ACT's fiscal year 2000. Extraordinary gain for the
three-month period ended September 30, 1999 includes $242,561 of gain on the
extinguishment of prior shareholder loans in exchange for 600,000 shares of the
Company's restricted common stock. The Company had no extraordinary gains nor
losses for the comparative period ended September 30, 2000.
(b) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 2000, the Company's cash and cash equivalents balance was
($5,644) a decrease of $35,798 from the period ended June 30, 2000. During the
quarter, no cash was provided by operations or financing activities. During the
three-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, cash provided by (used
in) operations and investing activities amounted to ($219,298) and ($404,507),
respectively. Cash provided by financing activities amounted to $183,500 and
$403,500, respectively, and consisted of loans from the Company's principal
shareholder and the sale of common stock and convertible debentures. During the
three-month period ended September 30, 1999, the Company realized $273,500, net
of offering costs, from the private placement sale of common stock and $100,000,
net of offering costs, from the issuance of convertible debentures.
The Company had a working capital deficiency in the amounts of $1,867,294 and
$811,418 respectively for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and
1999. The Company is currently working with Ladenburg Thalmann, a NY-based
investment banking firm, and others to obtain the necessary capital to continue
its wholesale telephone network business and to assist ACT-AU in its
development, testing and commercialization of the SpectruCell wireless
technology.
(c) ACQUISITIONS
The Company's strategy is to generate substantial revenue through the licensing
of the SpectruCell product being developed and tested by ACT-AU and through the
acquisition of telephone network distribution companies. As part of this growth
strategy, the Company will continue to evaluate and pursue opportunities to
acquire other companies, assets and product lines that either complement or
expand the Company's business. The
7
<PAGE>
Company intends to use available cash from operations, if any, and authorized
but unissued common stock to finance any acquisitions.

Part II- OTHER INFORMATION
The statements in this quarterly report, Form 10-QSB, that are not historical
constitute "forward-looking statements". Said forward-looking statements involve
risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results, performance or
achievements of the Company and its subsidiary to be materially different from
any future results, performance or achievements, express or implied by such
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are identified by
their use of such terms and phrases as "expects", "intends", "goals",
"estimates", "projects", "plans", "anticipates", "should", "future", "believes",
and "scheduled".
The variables which may cause differences include, but are not limited to, the
following: i) general economic and business conditions; ii) competition; iii)
success of operating initiatives including the commercialization of the
SpectruCell product; iv) financing efforts; v) operating costs; vi) advertising
and promotional efforts; vii) the existence or absence of adverse publicity;
viii) changes in business strategy or development plans; ix) the ability to
retain management; x) availability, terms and deployment of capital; xi)
business abilities and judgment of personnel; xii) availability of qualified
personnel; xiii) labor and employment benefit costs; xiv) availability and costs
of raw materials and supplies; and xv) changes in, or failure to comply with
various government regulations. Although the Company believes that the
assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are
reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore, there can
be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this filing will
prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the
forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information
should not be regarded as a representation by the Company and/or its management,
or any person, that the objectives and expectations of the Company will be
achieved.

<PAGE>
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES
During the quarter, the Company issued 5,020,000 shares of its common stock of
which 20,000 shares valued at $13,120 were issued in exchange for services and
5,000,000 shares valued at $3,500,000 where issued in partial repayment of the
Company's obligation to ACT-AU.
ITEM 3. QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is subject to various risks in connection with the operation of its
business. These risks include, but are not limited to, dependence on operating
agreements with foreign partners, significant foreign and U.S.-based customers
and suppliers, availability of transmission facilities, U.S. and foreign
regulations, international economic and political instability, dependence on
effective billing and information systems, customer attrition, and rapid
technological change. Many of the Company's competitors are significantly larger
and have substantially greater resources than the Company. If the Company's
competitors were to devote significant additional resources to the provision of
international long distance services to the Company's target customer base, the
Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations could be
adversely affected.
The Company has devoted resources to the build out of the U.S.-Pakistan Network
and for the development, testing and commercialization of the SpectruCell
technology. As a result, the Company has experienced operating losses and
negative cash flows from operations. These losses and negative operating cash
flows are expected to continue for additional periods in the future. There can
be no assurance that the Company's operations will become profitable or will
produce positive cash flows. The Company's capital requirements for the
commercialization of its SpectruCell product and for the continued build out of
the U.S.-Pakistan Network and growth of its customer base are substantial. The
Company intends to fund its operational and capital requirements using cash on
hand, through proposed credit and debt facilities and by the issuance of
restricted common stock.
ITEM 6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS AND EXHIBITS
On October 5, 2000, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent ("LOI") with
Digital Comm Link, Inc., ("Digital") a Florida based privately held corporation,
to acquire a controlling interest in Digital for approximately $10- $20 million
in stock and cash. Digital currently owns and operates a satellite fixed earth
station, which receives and transmits voice, data and video signals for
telecommunications and other media customers.
On October 12, 2000 the Company's Board of Directors adopted a resolution to
issue 460,000 shares of restricted common stock to ACT-AU in partial repayment
of $460,000 of the Company's obligation. The Company will record a gain on the
issuance of this stock.
On October 23, 2000, the Company was notified by holders of $210,000 of its
$650,000 Secured Convertible Debentures that such holders have elected to
convert their debt into
9
<PAGE>
restricted common stock based on certain conversion rights granted to the
bondholders under the terms of the 12% Secured Convertible Debentures. Such
conversion, when effected, will have the result of reducing the Company's
liabilities and increasing the Company's stockholder's equity.
On November 1, 2000 the Company, along with ACT-AU formed Advanced Network
Technologies (USA) Inc, ("ANT") to market wireless network services and
applications developed by ACT-AU. The Company owns 70% of ANT.
