AUDITORS' REPORT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF
ORBIT CANADA INC.
We have audited the balance sheet of Orbit Canada Inc. (a development stage
company) as at July 31, 2000 and the statements of operations, shareholders'
equity and cash flows for the period from October 7, 1999 (date of inception) to
July 31, 2000. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit
to obtain reasonable assurance 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.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as at July 31, 2000 and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from inception to
July 31, 2000 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States.

ORBIT CANADA INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(EXPRESSED IN UNITED STATES DOLLARS)
JULY 31, 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NATURE OF BUSINESS Orbit Canada Inc. (the "Company") was
incorporated on October 7, 1999 in Ontario,
Canada. Since inception the Company's
efforts have been devoted to the
development of its principal products and
raising capital. The Company has not
received any revenues from the sale of its
products or services. Accordingly, through
the date of these financial statements, the
Company is considered to be in the
development stage and the accompanying
financial statements represent those of a
development stage enterprise. The Company
intends to market an internet based long
distance telephone system to Canadian
businesses and individuals. The Company
plans to use the latest radio transmission
technologies for wireless, high speed and
secure Internet access.
BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying financial statements are
stated in United States dollars, "the
reporting currency". The transactions of
the Company have been recorded during the
period in Canadian dollars, "the functional
currency". The translation of Canadian
dollars in United States dollars amounts
have been made at the period end exchange
rates for the balance sheet items and the
average exchange rate for the period for
revenues, expenses, gains and losses.
Translation adjustments to reporting
currency are included in equity.
These financial statements have been
prepared by management in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States.
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles 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
financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimated.
CAPITAL ASSETS Capital assets are recorded at cost less
accumulated amortization. Amortization is
based on the estimated useful life of the
asset as follows:

Equipment - 20% declining balance basis
Computer equipment - 30% declining balance basis

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(EXPRESSED IN UNITED STATES DOLLARS)
JULY 31, 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS Management reviews assets for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable. Management
assesses impairment by comparing the
carrying amount to individual cash flows.
If deemed impaired, measurement and
recording of an impairment loss is based on
the fair value of the asset.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents are defined as
highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less and
consist of term deposits.
FAIR VALUES The carrying amounts of financial
instruments of the Company, including cash
and cash equivalents, GST receivable,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities
approximate fair value because of their
short maturity.
INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes under
the asset and liability method as required
by SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes", issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB"). Under this
method, deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial reporting
and tax bases of assets and liabilities.
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.
EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed
using the weighted average number of common
shares that are outstanding during the
period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share
is computed using the weighted average
number of common and common equivalent
shares outstanding during the period.
Common equivalent shares consist of the
incremental common shares issuable upon the
exercise of the warrants.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Company to significant
concentration of credit risk consist
primarily of cash and cash equivalents.
These instruments are held at one major
financial institution.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income", which was
adopted by the Company. SFAS No. 130
establishes standards for reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its
components in an entity's financial
statements. Comprehensive income as defined
includes all changes in equity (net assets)
during a period from non-owner sources.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(EXPRESSED IN UNITED STATES DOLLARS)
JULY 31, 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133,
STANDARDS "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 requires
companies to recognize all derivative
contracts as either assets or liabilities
in the balance sheet and to measure them at
fair value. If certain conditions are met,
a derivative may be specifically designated
as a hedge, the objective of which is to
match the timing of gain or loss
recognition on the hedging derivative with
the recognition of (i) the changes in the
fair value of the hedged asset or liability
that are attributable to the hedged risk or
(ii) the earnings' effect of the hedged
forecast transaction. For a derivative not
designated as a hedging instrument, the
gain or loss is recognized in income in the
period of change. SFAS No. 133, as amended,
is effective for the first fiscal quarter
of all fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2000.
Historically, the Company has not entered
into derivative contracts either to hedge
existing risks or for speculative purposes.
Accordingly, the new standards do not
affect these financial statements.
In March 2000, the Financial Accounting
Standard Board issued FASB Interpretation
No. 44, "Accounting for Certain
Transactions involving Stock Compensation",
an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25.
Among other things, the Interpretation
requires that stock options that have been
modified to reduce the exercise price be
accounted for as variable. Adoption of this
standard is not expected to have a material
effect on the financial statements.
