NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1998 and 1997
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
The Company is located in the United States and previously marketed various
powdered metals which it either processed or sold without processing. The
Company ceased all active operations on June 30, 1994. Since then the Company's
activity has been largely restricted to maintaining its corporate legal status,
negotiating creditor settlements and searching for mergers or acquisitions.
Taxes on Income
Effective January 1, 1993 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The cumulative effect of the
change in accounting principle is immaterial.
Net Income Per Share
Net income per share is based on the average number of shares outstanding during
each year retroactively adjusted to give effect to all stock splits.
Investment Securities
Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, unrealized holding gains
and losses and net of the related deferred tax effect are reported as a separate
component of stockholders' equity.
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a
going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained
recurring losses and at March 31, 1998 the stockholders' equity reflects a
deficit of $1,363,896. The Company's continued existence is dependent on its
ability to generate sufficient cash flow to cover operating expenses, settle its
obligations and develop an active business.

NOTE 3 - COMMON STOCK
During 1997, the Board of Directors approved a 1 for 20 reverse stock split of
the Class A common stock and a decrease in the authorized number of shares of
Class A common stock from 200,000,000 to 10,000,000 shares. The par value of
$.001 was unchanged. The details of the Company's Common Stock at March 31, 1998
are as follows:
Number of Shares
Class A, $.001 par value;
Authorized 10,000,000
Issued and outstanding 1,591,349
Class B, $.001 par value;
Authorized 220,000
Issued and outstanding 213,440
Class B shares are convertible into Class A shares on an eight hundred-for-one
basis and each class has the same rights and privileges with the exception of
voting.
On May 8, 1996, a Stock Exchange Agreement between the Company and AltaChem was
rescinded by all parties retroactive to its inception on December 3, 1995.
Pursuant to the cancellation agreement, all shares of common stock previously
exchanged are to be returned. At March 31, 1998, 18,749,796 (937,490 post 20 for
1 split) shares of the Company's Class A common stock had not been returned. The
Company has notified its stock transfer agent that these shares are not
outstanding and are to be canceled upon receipt of the certificate, accordingly,
a stop transaction order has been placed on the shares by the agent. These
shares are not included in the total of outstanding shares in the financial
statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BRIA Communications Corporation, a New Jersey corporation hereafter
referred to as the "Company," was originally involved in the repair of aircraft
turbines and engine components and the purchasing, processing and selling of
special refractory metals. All active operations in such industries ceased in
June 1994, an event that significantly affected the Company's performance. The
Company then changed its focus to searching for suitable merger or acquisition
candidates. Since the Company changed its focus to searching for a suitable
merger or acquisition candidate, the Company has entered into several agreements
to acquire other companies. All of these acquisitions have failed.
However, on April 16, 1998, the Company entered into an Agreement to
purchase a 100% interest in AmViet Development Corporation, a Bahamian
Corporation ("AVDC") from International Beverage Development Corporation, a
Delaware Corporation. (the "Agreement"). AVDC has represented that it is the
owner of a license issued by the Vietnamese government which allows AVDC to act
as a joint venture partner with Quang Tri Beer Factor, a Vietnamese partner.
Pursuant to the licensing arrangement, AVDC owns a 70% interest in the AmViet
Mineral Water Company which is license to produce water, mineral water and other
beverages in Vietnam. Quang Tri Beer Factory owns the other 30% of AmViet
Mineral Water for which it contributed the plant and land. As of the signing of
the Agreement the plant was unfinished, but was scheduled to begin production in
approximately 60 days. As of June 12, 1998, AVDC represented that the plant
should be ready for production on or around June 30, 1998.
ADVC also is a licensee of the Monarch Beverage Company in Vietnam. The
Monarch license enables AVDC to sell the Monarch franchise products such as
America Cola, Dad's Rootbeer, Kikapoo Joy Juice, and Bubble Up in Vietnam. If
the Company successfully acquires AVDC it will have an indirect ownership
interest in the land, buildings, equipment, water rights, any accrued goodwill,
customer lists and accounts receivables. The Company anticipates the closing to
occur on July 7, 1998. However, the Company is still in the due diligence phase
and closing will be subject to a satisfactory review of AVDC by the Company and
review of the Company by International Beverage Development Corporation.
Plan of Operation
The Company's current plans include completion of it due diligence in
the tentatively scheduled closing on the acquisition of AVDC. In the event the
acquisition fails, the Company will continue to search for appropriate business
opportunities, including businesses which the Company can acquire as operating
subsidiaries. The Company's goal is to acquire assets which will provide the
Company with revenues.
In the Company's quest for business opportunities, the Company has
employed the services of Canton Financial Services Corporation, a Nevada
corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, ("CFS"). CFS provides
business services to the Company including, administrative, accounting, and
shareholder relations work. CFS was originally retained in May 1995 pursuant to
a Consulting Agreement. CFS is currently rendering services to the Company. The
terms and amount of payments will be negotiated upon the Company acquiring or
merging with an operating or a potentially viable business.
Results of Operations
The Company had no significant operations during the first quarter of
1998. The operations of the Company have consisted primarily of maintaining its
corporate form, filing its public reports with the Securities & Exchange
Commission and attempting to settle past debts through the issuance of common
stock.

<PAGE>
The General and administrative expenses decreased by $72,980 from $104,721
during the quarter ending March 31, 1997, to $31,741 during the quarter ending
March 31, 1998. This decrease was due primarily to a significant decrease in
consulting expenses paid to outside consultants.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
The Company has no current assets and no cash reserves. The Company has
issued shares of its common stock to creditors to cover some of its expenses and
issued common stock at heavy discounts for limited amounts of cash. In addition,
CFS has advanced limited amounts of cash to pay for expenses related to
maintaining the Company's corporate form.
