                                INTRODUCTORY NOTE

The following is intended to provide  information similar to that which would be
contained  in  Form  10-Q,  although  as a  foreign  private  issuer  we are not
obligated  to file  Forms  10-Q  under  current  rules  and  regulations  of the
Securities and Exchange  Commission.  We intend to continue to submit to the SEC
quarterly  reports on Form 6-K that will include unaudited  quarterly  financial
information,  for the first three  quarters of each fiscal year,  in addition to
our  annual  report  on Form 20-F that will  include  audited  annual  financial
information.  As a foreign private issuer,  we are not required to use the EDGAR
system to submit such  documents to the SEC but we currently  intend to do so to
make the reports more readily available over the internet.

             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (UNAUDITED)



1.    Basis of Presentation

      We  have  prepared  the  accompanying   unaudited  condensed  consolidated
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions
to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,  they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States for annual financial  statements.  These financial
statements were not examined by our independent public  accountants,  but in the
opinion of our management,  all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
accruals) considered  necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  The
results for the interim period  presented are not necessarily  indicative of the
results that may be expected  for any future  period.  For further  information,
please refer to the consolidated  financial statements and the notes included in
our Registration Statement on Form F-1 (see File No. 333-11676).

      The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity  with  accounting
principles  generally  accepted in the United States  requires our 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 financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Our actual results could differ from those estimates.

Item 2.  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and
Results of Operations

         The  following  discussion  of our  financial  condition and results of
operations  should be read in conjunction with the  Management's  Discussion and
Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results of  Operations  section and the
consolidated  financial  statements and the notes  included in our  Registration
Statement on Form F-1 (see File No.  333-11676),  which became  effective May 2,
2000.

         In December 1995, Congress enacted the Private Securities Reform Act of
1995.  The  Act  contains  amendments  to the  Securities  Act of  1933  and the
Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,  which provide  protection  from  liability in
private lawsuits for "forward-looking"  statements, made by persons specified in
the Act. We desire to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Act.

         We wish to caution  readers  that,  with the  exception  of  historical
matters,   the   matters   discussed   in  this   Report  on  Form  6-K  include
forward-looking  statements.  Generally the  forward-looking  statements  can be
identified  by  the  use of  forward-looking  words  such  as  "may,"  "expect,"
"anticipate," "estimate," "plan," "believe" or similar words. They involve risks
and  uncertainties,  including but not limited to factors related to our limited
operating  history and significant  historical  losses,  the highly  competitive
nature of the  telecommunications  business, our dependence on others for, among
other things,  equipment and services, our ability to manage growth,  political,
economic,  and regulatory risks, including but not limited to currency and other
risk related to foreign operations in China, Taiwan and other countries in Asia,
the  results of  financing  efforts  and other  factors  discussed  in our other
filings with and  submissions to the Securities and Exchange  Commissions.  Such
factors  could  affect  our  actual  results  and  cause our  results  to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement.

OVERVIEW

         We are a  provider  of  international  voice  and fax  call  completion
services using a privately  managed Internet  Protocol (IP) network.  As of June
30, 2000, we operated gateways at 83 points of presence (or POPs), and increased
the number of POPs to 105 as of August 15, 2000.  Our gateways are  manufactured
by  the  Dialogic  Corporation,   a  subsidiary  of  Intel  Corporation,   using
WHEREVER.net's  proprietary software. We do not sell gateways,  but rather place
them at our  customers  and business  partners'  premises,  retaining  ownership
rights.  This allow us to route traffic  through all of our  gateways.  Our open
infrastructure  allows  for  the  use of VAS  (value  added  services)  software
developed by outside  sources.  Our business model is to rapidly create a large,
worldwide IP network with a  concentration  in Southeast Asia and Greater China.
As we are creating such network,  and developing VAS, we plan to carry wholesale
and phone card traffic to support the  infrastructure  while we develop the more
profitable  international  direct  dialing and  virtual  private  network  (VPN)
customer base segments of our business. Our relationships with Intel Corporation
include an investment by Intel  Corporation  in our Series A preferred  stock, a
co-marketing  agreement with Dialogic  Corporation and a co-marketing  agreement
with Intel Corporation.

         Our current strategic  relationships  with Intel  Corporation,  Pacific
Electric Wire & Cable, China Telecom, Jitong Communications and China Netcom are
intended  to give  us  access  to more  rapid  technology  development,  network
deployment and penetration of the VPN market.

         We are a Cayman  Islands  company  with  headquarters  in Hong Kong,  a
research and development center in Taipei,  network operating centers in Taipei,
Hong Kong and Los Angeles and "super POPs" in Taipei,  Hong Kong,  Tokyo and Los
Angeles.  We also have sales  offices in these cities as well as  Singapore  and
Sydney. We are currently opening a "super POP" in London.

         We completed three private placements during the first quarter of 2000.
In February  2000, we sold 125,000  shares of common stock to AsiaVest  Partners
Ltd., a Hong  Kong-based  venture  capital firm, for  $1,875,000.  The number of
shares was subsequently  increased to 208,300 to reflect an adjustment resulting
from the  $9.00  per  share  price of our  common  stock in the  initial  public
offering.  In February 2000, we also sold 375,000 shares of our common stock for
$3,000,000 to China Telecom Technology Partners.  In March 2000, we sold 888,888
shares of Series A preferred stock to Intel Corporation for $9,999,990 or $11.25
per  share.  Each  share of  Series A  preferred  stock is  convertible,  at the
election of Intel Corporation, into 1.4 shares of our common stock.

         In May 2000,  we  completed  our  initial  public  offering  and issued
4,500,000 American Depository Shares (ADS). Each ADS represents one share of our
common stock. The net proceeds to us from the offering were $37,665,000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000

         There  have  been  substantial  planned  changes  in the  nature of our
business  during the six-month  period ended June 30, 2000. As a result,  we are
not providing any comparison to the six-month period ended June 30, 1999 because
the results for that period are not comparable  and any comparison  would not be
meaningful.  Although we did not file a Form 6-K for the quarter ended March 31,
2000 because we were not then a public company,  we have revised our results for
the  three-month  period  ended  March 31, 2000 to correct an  overstatement  of
revenue for that period.  The  overstatement  resulted from the interim use of a
revenue  recognition  method  that  differs  from  that  used  under  accounting
principles  generally  accepted  in the United  States.  During the  three-month
period  ended March 31, 2000,  we  recognized  billed  sales as revenues,  where
contract  sales were  recorded in the  quarter  they were  legally  enforceable,
rather than  accounting for the sales as minutes were used.  The  information in
the Form 6-K includes the revision of first quarter results.

         REVENUE. We have four lines of business: phone cards, wholesale, direct
dialing  and  VPN.  Phone  card  revenues  are  recognized  based  on  usage  by
cardholders, substantially all of which have prepaid for the minutes embedded in
the cards.  Wholesale  and direct dial  customers  are billed on a monthly basis
based on traffic that we carried for them.  VPN  customers are billed a flat fee
per month plus a certain  minute-based  amount for off-network usage. During the
six-month period ended June 30, 2000, we recorded revenues of $2,589,021.

         DIRECT  COST OF SERVICE  REVENUE.  Our direct  cost of service  revenue
consists  primarily of network  management  costs,  including  salary and salary
related costs,  costs  associated  with carrying our  customers'  traffic on our
privately  managed IP network,  costs paid to other  carriers  through  which we
deliver  international  calls routed for quality purposes,  and termination fees
paid to local  telephone  companies.  Termination  fee  traffic is  measured  in
minutes,  and the per minute rates charged for terminating  calls are negotiated
with local service  providers.  Contracts with our providers  typically  provide
that either party may renegotiate  the per minute  termination  fees.  Purchased
minutes  are fees we pay to other  telecommunications  carriers  for  completing
calls over  public  circuit-switched  networks  to  destinations  outside of our
network,  generally as a result of quality or capacity factors.  Per-minute rate
charges for  purchased  minutes  are  negotiated  with  public  circuit-switched
network  carriers for each  destination  served.  Other data  communication  and
telecommunications expenses include fees for the fiber optic connections between
our POPs and our customers or terminating partners.

         For the six months ended June 30, 2000,  direct cost of service revenue
was $4,713,306.  Our higher direct cost of service revenue,  compared to service
revenue  during the same period,  resulted from the need to build capacity ahead
of traffic  by,  among  other  things,  maintaining  relationships  with  higher
per-minute  costs at lower traffic  volumes and acquiring a large  percentage of
China-bound   traffic  at  competitive  rates.  We  expect  that  the  ratio  of
cost-to-revenue  will decrease  over time, as volume  increases and more optimal
traffic mixes are achieved.

         DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION.  Depreciation and amortization  expenses
were  $655,470  during the  six-month  period ended June 30, 2000 and  consisted
primary in depreciation of network equipment. We hold ownership rights to all of
our deployed gateways.

         SELLING,  GENERAL AND  ADMINISTRATIVE  EXPENSES.  Selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  include  salary and salary related costs for our sales
personnel and expenses associated with the development and implementation of our
promotional  and marketing  campaigns.  The category  also  includes  salary and
salary related costs for our research and administrative staff and miscellaneous
costs, such as travel,  except for costs associated with our network  operations
staff. Selling,  general and administrative expenses were $5,927,075 for the six
months ended June 30, 2000.

         RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT  EXPENSES.  Research and development  expenses
include the expenses of  developing  and  supporting  our  proprietary  software
modules,  including  value added  services  software.  We expense  research  and
development expenses as they are incurred. Research and development expenses for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 were  $250,090,  excluding  salary  expenses,
which are included as selling, general and administrative expenses.

         INTEREST  INCOME AND INTEREST  EXPENSE.  Interest  expense is primarily
comprised of interest on short-term  notes  incurred prior to our initial public

                                     Page 12
<PAGE>

offering and subsequently repaid. Interest income primarily consists of interest
earned on the temporary investment of the net proceeds from our offerings. We do
not currently have any other debt.

         LOSS FROM OPERATIONS. Our loss from operations for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2000 was $8,956,920.  The loss was incurred primarily as a result
of ramp-up costs and expenses in developing our IP network and internal systems.

         LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES.   As  of  June  30,  2000,  we  had
approximately $42.7 million in cash and liquid investments and a note receivable
from  a  related  party  of  approximately   $2.6  million,   which  amount  was
subsequently collected. We believe that we have sufficient liquidity and capital
resources  to  implement  our  2000-2001  business  plan.  Thereafter,  if  cash
generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements,
we may seek to sell additional  equity or debt  securities.  If additional funds
are raised through the issuance of debt securities,  these securities could have
rights,  preferences and privileges  senior to holders of our common stock,  and
the terms of these debt securities could impose  restrictions on our operations.
The sale of additional  equity or convertible  debt  securities  could result in
additional dilution to our shareholders. In any event, we cannot be certain that
additional  financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us,
if at all.  During the  six-month  period  ended  June 30,  2000,  we  generated
negative cash flow from operating  activities of approximately $7.2 million, for
the reasons discussed above.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

         We have not  engaged in trading  market-risk-sensitive  instruments  or
purchasing hedging instruments that would be likely to expose us to market risk,
whether   interest  rate,   foreign  currency   exchange,   commodity  price  or
equity-price risk. Our primary market risk exposure is that of currency exchange
rate fluctuations,  since we currently operate in seven countries. To-date, such
exposure has not been  meaningful  since  revenues  generated  in non-US  dollar
currencies have been used to partially  off-set local,  non-US dollar  expenses.
With  the  exception  of  terminating  costs  and the  salaries  of a few of our
administrative staff, our expenses are typically incurred in local currencies.

$40.5 million.

         In  connection  with  the  offering,  we  incurred  $2.835  million  in
underwriting discounts and commissions,  and approximately $1.2 million in other
related  expenses.  The net proceeds  from the  offering,  after  deducting  the
foregoing expenses, were approximately $36.4 million. From the effective date of
the registration statement through June 30, 2000, the Company used approximately
