FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Attached.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Statements herein that are not historical facts are based on management's
current expectations and may be forward-looking statements. These statements are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from expectations. Important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those anticipated by any forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, price and product competition by
foreign and domestic competitors, including new entrants; rapid technological
developments and changes; the Company's relationship with its suppliers and the
suppliers' ability to provide products on a timely basis; the achievement of
lower costs and expenses; reliance on large customers; interest rate
fluctuations and other general economic conditions. In light of the assumptions
and uncertainties inherent in forward-looking information, the inclusion of such
information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any
other person that the plans of the Company will be realized.
For the three month period ended July 31, 1998, Communications World
International, Inc. ("CommWorld" or the "Company") reported a net loss of
$311,000, as compared to net income of $93,000 for the comparable period ended
July 31, 1997. Total revenue for the quarter ended July 31, 1998 was $2,896,000
compared to total revenue of $3,309,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 1997. The
decrease in revenue of $413,000 is primarily the result of lower revenue being
generated in the area of direct equipment sales. The Company's national account
sales for the current quarter were approximately $759,000 compared to $1,030,000
for the comparable quarter of the prior year. The margin realized on direct
equipment sales has also decreased from 42.6% in the first quarter of last year
to 38.6% in the current quarter. As reported in the Company's annual report, the
most significant contributing factor to the decreased margin is the increased
cost of outside labor used to service the national account customers. The
decrease in margin percentage accounted for approximately $59,000 of the
decrease in gross margin dollars.
Franchise equipment sales for the quarter ended July 31, 1998 were flat compared
to the same quarter of the prior year. The gross margin percentage realized on
these sales for the current quarter was 13.4 % compared to a margin of 22.5% in
the prior year. Contributing to the improved gross margin percentage for the
prior year period was a discount of $127,000 related to the agreement of Toshiba
America Information Systems, Inc., the Company's principal supplier, to treat as
non interest bearing a note payable to it in the amount of $1,086,000. Adjusting
for this unusual item, the gross margin percentage for the quarter ended July
31, 1997 was comparable to the current year at 13.0 % .
Effective October 31, 1997, the Company closed the operations of its Seattle
subsidiary. The operating losses of this subsidiary were $67,000 for the three
month period ended July 31, 1997. These losses have been included in the net
results reported above.
In June of 1998, the Company entered into a letter of intent to merge with
Interconnect Acquisition Corporation ("IAC"), a privately-held company. In
connection with the proposed merger, the Company effected management changes,
including the election of Jim Ciccarelli as Chief Executive officer and a
2

director of the Company. Included in the loss of $311,000 for the quarter ended
July 31, 1998 is officer severance compensation of $138,000 related to two
executive officers that are no longer with the Company. The merger with IAC is
subject to certain conditions, including completion of due diligence and a
definitive merger agreement and equity financing.
The Company completed a private placement of equity securities on May 25, 1998.
The private placement consisted of 283,000 Units with each Unit consisting of
one share of common stock and one common stock purchase warrant exercisable at
$2.50 for a period of five years. Total proceeds from this offering were
$353,750 of which $310,000 were received during the quarter ended July 31, 1998.
The Company is currently seeking to raise between $1 million and $4 million in
additional equity. As of July 29, 1998, the Company completed funding of a
$400,000 bridge loan which matures in January, 1999 in anticipation of
completion of the equity offering. The bridge loan note holders will be offered
the right to convert their notes into equity in the Company's new offering. The
Company's liquidity remains poor and, therefore, obtaining additional funding is
critical to the Company's operations and financial condition.
General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended July 31, 1998
decreased slightly from the same period of the prior year. Management continues
to assess these expenses and take action to reduce them, when necessary and
appropriate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The interim consolidated financial statements presented are those of
Communications World International, Inc. (the "Company" or "CommWorld") and its
subsidiaries, CommWorld of Phoenix, Inc., CommWorld of Seattle, Inc., Digital
Telecom, Inc. (dba CommWorld NationWide) and CommWorld National Capitol Area,
Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation. The accounting policies followed
by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the Company's consolidated financial
statements included in the Company's April 30, 1998 Form 10-KSB filing.
Operating results for the three months ended July 31, 1998 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending April 30,
1999.
1. INCOME TAXES
------------
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions
of the deferred tax asset at July 31, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:
1998 1997
---------- ---------
Net operating loss carryforwards 2,616,000 1,694,000
Other items 453,000 141,000
---------- ---------
Total gross deferred taxes 3,069,000 1,835,000
Valuation allowance (2,024,000) (1,450,000)
---------- ---------
Net deferred taxes $1,045,000 $ 385,000
========== =========
As of July 31, 1998, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for
federal income tax purposes of approximately $6,541,000. Generally, these losses
are available to offset future federal and state taxable income. Based upon the
anticipated change in control, resulting from the issuance of the Company's
equity securities, the Company expects that the annual use of portions of the
operating loss carryforwards will be limited under sections 382 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a result the Company expects that the
utilization of its net operating loss will be limited to approximately
$3,013,000 in future years.
2. MERGER WITH IAC
---------------
The Company entered into a letter of intent on June 25, 1998 to merge with
Interconnect Acquisition Corporation (IAC), a privately held company. the merger
provides that, among other things, the Company will issue to the shareholders of
IAC convertible preferred stock that will be convertible into 2 million shares
of common stock. The Company is currently pursuing financing that will
facilitate the acquisitions delivered by IAC. The chief executive officer of IAC
became the chief executive officer of the Company effective July 1, 1998.
