as a tag included at the end of the recording the customer hears on the long
distance call advertised by Talidan Print or Talidan TV. When the customer calls
the 0900 number, they are making a local call for which they are charged a
premium rate per minute to engage in "chat" with a live person or hear
additional, typically more explicit, recordings. When a customer calls one of
the numbers provisioned to Talidan Local, Telecom Brazil, pursuant to an oral
agreement with Talidan, pays Talidan an agreed-to amount per call minute. As
consideration for the tag, part of the money received by Talidan Local is
remitted to WWT, or is credited against the amounts due Talidan TV from WWT for
shared advertising costs.

     There are approximately 30 regional phone companies operating in Brazil.
The national telecom service provider is Embratel, which was state owned prior
to its being acquired by MCI/Worldcom on July 2, 1998.  When a customer makes a
0900 call on one of the numbers provisioned to Talidan Local, the customer is
charged and money is collected by the regional phone company who remits a
portion of such funds to Embratel.  Embratel then remits a portion of the funds
it receives to Telecom Brazil as owner of the number, who remits a portion to
Talidan.  Talidan then remits (or credits for advertising costs) a portion to
WWT.


     Adverse Circumstances.  Several adverse circumstances negatively impacted
Talidan's business in 1998 and 1999. Long distance rates increased in Brasil in
February 1998 from 0.0028 SDR or $.40 to $.59. SDR (Standard Drawing Right) is
an International Money Unit used by the telephone companies. It is equal to
about 1.44 US dollars (i.e. .0028 SDR =$.40). Also social, religious and
political pressures to curtail the adult telephone business increased
significantly during 1998 in Brasil, and the content of both television
advertising and messages heard by a caller were restricted in the fall of 1998.
The rate increase and restricted content pressures resulted in a decrease in
call volume.


     Moreover, Embratel was having difficulty in collecting funds from regional
phone companies, and estimated a $40 million payment imbalance at the time of
its privatization resulting in Embratel "temporarily suspending" its payments to
Telecom Brazil, and others under existing contracts, after its last payment in
August of 1998.  In October 1998, a judge in Sao Paolo blocked access to 0900
numbers, so callers could not connect to 0900 services.  At that point, it was
uncertain whether other Brazilian jurisdictions would follow suit.  Although the
judge's October 1998 decision was ultimately appealed in the state and federal
courts of Brazil, the outcome and timing of such ongoing appeals were and still
are difficult to determine.  By November 1998, Embratel cancelled its existing
contracts and planned to enter into new contracts with the regional phone
companies.  But in August 1999 some 0900 service providers that accused Embratel
of withholding payment sought legal action to force Embratel into bankruptcy.
Shortly thereafter, Embratel cancelled contracts it had with approximately 30
such providers, including its contract with Telecom Brazil.

     In addition, while Talidan TV continued to advertise throughout 1998 and
the first four months of 1999, amounts spent on ads varied in each month of 1999
and were significantly lower in January and March as the Company attempted to
manage the uncertainties facing Talidan's business.  Advertising was cancelled
in late April 1999 due to lack of response.  Although advertising ceased,
payments continued to be received through December 1999, albeit at a decreasing
rate.  Some payments are expected to continue short-term since it is likely that
some customers have retained telephone numbers, which are still active, from
earlier TV advertisements.  In December 1999, WWT notified Talidan that it was
withdrawing the use of Talidan's premium long distance telephone numbers as of
January 1, 2000, later moved to March 15, 2000.  The

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



TO THE STOCKHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
CARNEGIE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Carnegie
International Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and
the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 audit 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 financial position of Carnegie
International Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and
the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 23 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations
and its limited capital resources 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 23. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
