PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
(a) Business Development:
1. GENERAL CORPORATE
ComTec International Inc. was incorporated on July 6, 1983, in the State of
New Mexico, originally under the name of Nisus Video, Inc. It is a fully
reporting 12(g), 34 Act publicly traded company. The Company has undergone
various changes to date as a result of certain reorganizations. Historical
changes are more fully disclosed in prior 34 Act filings. The Company's
principal office is located at 9350 East Arapahoe Road, Suite 340, Englewood,
Colorado 80112; its telephone number is (303) 662-8069; its facsimile number is
(303) 662-8485. The Company is currently authorized to issue 200,000,000 common
shares, $0.001 par value and 10,000,000 preferred shares, $0.001 par value. The
Company has one wholly owned operating subsidiary, American Wireless Network,
Inc. ("AWN").
As a result of the Asset Acquisition Agreement (as amended) entered into
between AWN and CMSR Systems, Inc. ("CMSR") on April 15, 1999, and reported on
Form 8-K filed April 30, 1999, the day-to-day SMR operations of AWN have been
undertaken by CMSR under a management contract wherein AWN supervises management
of the systems pursuant to FCC rules but actual hands on operations are
conducted by CMSR. The Company is exploring potential acquisition and/or merger
transactions with amicable business opportunities in telecommunications,
information industries, the computer industry or other compatible business
opportunities.
2. CURRENT OPERATIONS
OPERATING SUBSIDIARY
On December 3, 1996, the Company formed American Wireless Network, Inc.
(`AWN"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, to pursue opportunities in
the Specialized Mobile Radio ("SMR") industry. In connection with this
transaction, the Company transferred all SMR radio licenses under the ownership
and control of the Company to AWN (in exchange for 500,000 shares of common
stock in AWN). On December 22, 1996, AWN issued an additional 143,000 shares of
common stock to three Company affiliated entities. In March of 1997, the Company
exchanged for stock in the Company all shares of AWN held outside of the
Company. As of March 31, 1997, and currently, the Company owns all of the
outstanding common stock of AWN. From December 5, 1997 to June 1, 1999, AWN
operated SMR sites in seven MTA's in the southeastern U.S.A. region, operating
specialized mobile radio licenses purchased from Centennial Communications Corp.
As a result of the Asset Acquisition Agreement (as amended) entered into between
AWN and CMSR Systems, Inc. ("CMSR") on April 15, 1999, which became effective
June 1, 1999, the day-to-day SMR operations of AWN have been undertaken by CMSR
under a management contract wherein AWN supervises management of the systems
pursuant to FCC rules but actual day-to-day operations are now conducted by
CMSR.
PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF REGISTRANT
On December 15, 1997, the Company relocated its principal offices to Suite
340, 9350 East Arapahoe Road, Englewood, Colorado, 80112. The Company's phone
number is (303) 662-8069. The Company's operating subsidiary, AWN, which is also
located at such address, entered into a three-year lease for the premises, said
lease ending December 31, 2000.
INACTIVE SUBSIDIARIES
The Company's three inactive subsidiaries, all Colorado corporations,
Custom Concepts, Inc., AmNet Resources, Ltd. and International Media Group,
Ltd., were dissolved by administrative action during the fiscal year ended June
30, 2000.

3. MANAGEMENT
Since September 1998, management of the Company has consisted of President
and CEO, James J. Krejci, an MBA, formerly a top executive with Jones
Intercable, Inc./Jones International, Ltd. associated companies; Chief Financial
Officer and Secretary/Treasurer, Gordon Dihle, an attorney and CPA; and
Controller; Michael Bunch, a CPA and MBA. On September 30, 1998, Marc Maassen,
an individual previously unaffiliated with the Company or current management,
was appointed to the Board of Directors as an outside director.
4. ASSET FORFEITURES, DISPOSITIONS AND TERMINATIONS OF CONTRACT RIGHTS
DISPOSITION OF LED SCREEN ASSETS
On December 31, 1998, the Company disposed of six (6) giant light-emitting
diode ("LED") screens by sale to Lanstar Computer Products, Inc., a Texas
Corporation, located in Dallas, Texas. The giant LED screens are used to provide
computer light presentation programs, adaptable for indoor or outdoor use for
sporting events, advertising displays and other theatrical applications.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement entered into between the Company and Lanstar
Computer Products, Inc., the LED screens were sold to Lanstar Computer Products,
Inc. in exchange for a Promissory Note payable to the Company in the amount of
two million four hundred thousand dollars ($2,400,000). The promissory note is
secured by an agreement utilizing the assets sold as security for the promissory
note. The entire principal of the promissory note, due December 31, 1999, is in
default, and, as a result, the book value of the LED screens ($1.3 million) as
recorded on the balance sheet of the Company, was written down to zero in the
quarter ended June 30, 2000. No determination has been made as to the
collectability of the promissory note or the potential recovery of the LED
Screens from Lanstar Computer Products, Inc.
AGREEMENT FOR DISPOSITION OF LICENSES
As previously reported on Form 8-K filed April 30, 1999, on April 15, 1999,
AWN executed an Asset Acquisition Agreement (as amended) with CMSR Systems, Inc.
("Buyer"), a Nevada Corporation unaffiliated with the Company. The purpose of
the Asset Acquisition Agreement is to facilitate the sale by American Wireless
Network, Inc. to CMSR Systems, Inc. of specifically identified 900 MHz Licenses
and American Wireless Network, Inc.'s customer base and customer lists
associated with the specified 900 MHz Licenses. The sale is subject to certain
conditions and events, including final and unappealable regulatory approvals
relating to the transfer of the Licenses to the Buyer. As of October 6, 2000,
the FCC has tentatively approved the transfer and final legal documents have
been presented to the FCC for acceptance. In consideration for the sale, the
Buyer is to assume approximately $1,400,000 of American Wireless Network, Inc.'s
debt to the Federal Communications Commission related to the Licenses. AWN will
retain a seven and one half percent operating interest in the operational
segment represented by the Licenses and operations sold to CMSR Systems, Inc. by
AWN. The agreement also includes a lease of SMR related equipment owned by AWN
to CMSR Systems, Inc. The 900 MHz Licenses and American Wireless Network, Inc.'s
customer base and customer lists associated with the specified 900 MHz Licenses
to be sold to CMSR Systems, Inc. were originally purchased by American Wireless
Network, Inc. on July 6, 1998 as a part of the acquisition of divisional segment
assets from Centennial Communications Corp. which was reported in Item 2 of Form
8-K's dated December 26, 1997, and September 3, 1998, and Items 2 and 7 of the
Form 8-K-A and Exhibits thereto dated February 9, 1999. Effective June 1, 1999
all hands on operations previously conducted by AWN with respect to the 900 MHz
Licenses were undertaken by CMSR Systems, Inc. under a management agreement
between AWN and CMSR Systems, Inc. The transfer of the Licenses has been
tentatively approved by the FCC, and documents requesting final approval of the
transfer of the 900 MHz Licenses and assumption of the debt to the FCC related
to the Licenses are pending at the FCC.
(b) Business of Issuer:
American Wireless Network, Inc. ("AWN"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on December 3,
1996, to act as the wireless communications operating entity for the Company.
The Company's SMR operations were conducted through AWN. At present AWN acts as
the supervisor of certain SMR operations managed by CMSR Systems, Inc. under the
provisions of the management contract with CMSR Systems, Inc.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 and through the present, the
Company has continued as a developmental stage entity focused on seeking and
evaluating potential merger and acquisition candidates. Activities have been
concentrated on revising the Company's strategic business plan, financing
efforts, negotiations to acquire other entities and operations, maintaining
management, and maintaining
4
<PAGE>
reporting compliance for various federal government agencies, such as the SEC
and FCC. The Company is exploring potential acquisition and/or merger
transactions with amenable business opportunities in telecommunications,
information industries, the computer industry or other compatible business
operations.
Current Status and Operations
On April 15, 1999, AWN executed an Asset Acquisition Agreement (as amended)
with CMSR Systems, Inc., ("Buyer"), an unaffiliated Nevada corporation. The
purpose of the Asset Acquisition Agreement is to facilitate the future sale by
American Wireless Network, Inc. to CMSR Systems, Inc. of specifically identified
900 MHz Licenses and American Wireless Network, Inc.'s customer base and
customer lists associated with the specified 900 MHz Licenses. The sale and an
associated lease of SMR related equipment owned by AWN is subject to certain
conditions and events, including final and unappealable regulatory approvals
relating to the transfer of the Licenses to the Buyer. In consideration for the
sale, the Buyer is to assume approximately $1,400,000 of American Wireless
Network, Inc.'s debt to the Federal Communications Commission related to the
Licenses. AWN will retain a seven and one half percent operating interest in the
operational segment represented by the Licenses and operations sold to CMSR
Systems, Inc. by AWN. The agreement also includes a lease of SMR related
equipment owned by AWN to CMSR Systems, Inc. Effective June 1, 1999, all
operations previously conducted by AWN with respect to the 900 MHz Licenses were
undertaken by CMSR Systems, Inc. under a management agreement between AWN and
CMSR Systems, Inc. The transfer of the Licenses has been tentatively approved by
the FCC, and documents requesting final approval of the transfer of the 900 MHz
Licenses and assumption of the debt to the FCC related to the Licenses are
pending at the FCC. At present AWN acts as the supervisor of SMR operations
conducted by CMSR Systems, Inc. under the provisions of the management contract.
The Specialized Mobile Radio Industry
SMR, considered "private carriage," was designed to serve the business
community. With the birth of SMR, the government saw an opportunity to
deregulate the business communications industry by creating a viable new
marketplace and, at the same time, decrease the cost of providing fleet dispatch
service to small businesses. In contrast, cellular, considered "common carriage"
by the FCC, was designed to be a mobile outgrowth of the public telephone
system. Typical SMR users are businesses in need of communication with large or
small groups of employees on the road, especially those in fleet sales and
service operations. Categories of users include transportation, real estate,
construction, security services, plumbing and electrical contractors, delivery
services, taxi and limousine services, government agencies (such as public
safety, hospitals, general government agency field operations), mining
operations and messenger services.
The establishment of "private carrier" systems allows a third-party
entrepreneur to make a profit from a mobile communications system. Services are
provided by SMR systems to a number of different commercial entities, or "end
users," which use the system for their communications needs. Because users do
not have to invest in the base station, SMR service is available to individuals
and small businesses. Services include, but are not limited to, dispatch,
private voice and data networks, and paging and telephone interconnect.
Essentially, an SMR is an individual or company's internal mobile communication
network. Unlike cellular, SMR does not adhere to one equipment standard or
protocol. Currently, two major equipment manufacturers, Motorola and E.F.
Johnson, dominate the industry, each with its own protocol. Sophisticated
switching necessary to facilitate wide-area SMR systems allows dissimilar
systems to communicate with each other through the use of digital technology,
allowing individual SMR operators the potential to build wide-area networks
through roaming agreements.
(c) Government Regulation:
The Company's operations are subject to government regulation primarily by
the FCC. The licensing, operation, assignment, and acquisition of 900 MHz SMR
Licenses are regulated under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended in 1996
(the "Communications Act"). Since that time, the FCC has adopted new rules
converting interconnected SMR service from a private radio service to a
commercial mobile radio service and has proposed other new rules allowing
operational flexibility and mandating future licensing by competitive bidding.
The FCC periodically has various dockets under consideration, which could result
in changes to the FCC's rules, regulations, and policies. Certain rule,
regulation or policy changes by the FCC could potentially affect the financial
standing of the Company.
All SMR and commercial mobile radio service licenses are issued as
conditional licenses. The conditional licenses become licenses without condition
only upon timely and proper completion of station construction and minimal
loading. If a licensee fails to
5
<PAGE>
complete construction of a station timely and properly, the license for that
station cancels automatically, without any further action by the FCC.
Prior to imposition of its commercial mobile radio service regulation
system, the FCC issued SMR licenses for five-year terms. Since January 2, 1995,
commercial mobile radio service licenses have been issued for ten-year terms.
Each license may be renewed at the end of the license term upon application to
the FCC. While the FCC generally grants renewal of SMR licenses in routine
fashion and the Company is aware of no reason why its licensees will not be
entitled to a similar renewal expectancy, there can be no certainty that the FCC
will continue its current renewal practices or extend them to the Company.
Regulation of radio towers. The transmitters for SMR stations typically are
located on free-standing or building roof-top towers. The towers are regulated
by both the FCC and the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA"). The regulations
concern geographic location, height, construction and lighting standards, and
maintenance. Failure to comply with tower regulations can result in assessment
of fines against the tower owner or operator and has, historically, resulted in
fines assessed against individual licensees located on an offensive tower. The
owners of towers are responsible for compliance with FCC and FAA regulations.
The Company does not own or manage any towers.
Other Federal regulations. The Company is generally subject to the
jurisdiction of various federal agencies and instrumentalities in addition to
the FCC and the FAA including, but not limited to, the United States
Environmental Protection Agency, the United States Department of Labor, the
United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the United States
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission and others. While the Company believes that it is operating
in conformity with all material applicable rules and regulations, policies, rule
changes, and other actions of these agencies, future action by these agencies
could adversely affect the operations and financial standing of the Company.
State regulations. At present, state and local governments cannot regulate
the rates charged by SMR operators. Such governments may, however, exercise
regulatory powers over health, safety, consumer protection, taxation, and zoning
regulations with respect to SMR stations. Currently, the Company's systems are
not subject to any state or local regulatory restraint (other than generally
applicable laws and regulations). However, there can be no assurances that such
systems will not become subject to various states and local regulatory
authorities in the future.
Regulatory developments. In March, 1996, the Communications Act went into
effect. This Act effected significant change in regulation and market entry for
communications service providers. Despite this effect on the telecommunications
industry as a whole, the Company does not anticipate any material adverse affect
on its business arising from the Communications Act.
Legislation or materially different rules may be proposed and enacted at
any time and may have a material adverse affect on the operations of the
Company. At this time, the Company is unaware of any pending legislation or
rule-making proceedings that would have a material adverse affect on the current
operations of the Company.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company has not incurred, and does not expect to incur, significant
research and development expenses.
COPYRIGHTS, PATENTS, PROPRIETARY INFORMATION, AND TRADEMARKS
The Company has no registered service marks, copyrights, or patents.
(d) Employees and Consultants:
As of the date of this filing, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary
AWN employ a total of two (2) persons on a full time basis: James Krejci,
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Gordon Dihle, the
Secretary/Treasurer of the Company. Mike Bunch, the Company's Controller, is
utilized by the Company on a part time, as needed basis. The Company
periodically retains outside consultants such as attorneys, accountants,
engineers, technicians and industry consultants to perform certain corporate
administrative tasks and SMR related maintenance.
6
<PAGE>
(e) Wireless Industry:
The wireless communications industry, which includes services such as
cellular, SMR, paging, and others, is one of the fastest growing industries in
the world. The Company's SMR systems (as operated by CMSR Systems, Inc.)
currently offer mobile communications services consisting of basic two-way
dispatch. Analog SMR network systems are capable of providing voice and data
services on a single system. Pricing for SMR service is normally based on a flat
monthly fee for unlimited unit-to-unit communications. Existing cellular and SMR
operators in the Company's operating territories have been in operation for a
number of years, and have significant customer bases. In addition to their
entrenched market position, these operators have available significantly greater
financial and other resources than those available to the Company. Larger SMR
companies are currently converting to all digital formats, which require current
subscribers to purchase digital radio equipment or find another analog system
provider. The competition for new SMR subscribers within the Company's operating
territories may also include Nextel Communications and/or other independent SMR
regional operators. Nextel Communication is the largest wireless SMR operator in
the nation. The Company also faces possible competition for digital mobile
service from other radio operators for channels that may be allocated by the FCC
in the future and operators of new wireless communications technologies such as
personal communications systems ("PCS").
RISK FACTORS
The securities of the Company are speculative and involve a high degree of
risk, including, but not necessarily limited to, the factors affecting operating
results described below. The statements which are not historical facts contained
in this report, including statements containing words such as "believes,"
"expects," "intends," "estimates," "anticipates," or similar expressions, are
"forward looking statements" (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995) that involve risks and uncertainties including, but not
limited to, the factors set forth below (see also "Forward Looking Statements").
Limited Revenues; Limited Relevant Operating History; Significant and
Continuing Operating Losses; Negative Cash Flow; Accumulated Deficit. Since its
inception, the Company has been engaged primarily in the acquisition of FCC
Licenses and the construction of facilities to begin commercial operation of
such licenses and, therefore, has had very limited revenues from sales of its
services. Management has not included revenues in its financials since past
revenues have not been sufficient to be separately stated in accordance with
GAAP. Accordingly, the Company has a limited relevant operating history upon
which an evaluation of its prospects can be made. Such prospects must be
considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently
encountered in the establishment of a new business in the wireless
communications industry, which is a continually evolving industry characterized
by an increasing number of market entrants and intense competition, as well as
the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered in the commercialization of
services in new markets. The Company has incurred operating losses in each
quarter since inception and on June 30, 2000, the Company had an accumulated
deficit of approximately $15,475,600. Since such date, losses have increased and
are continuing through the date of this report. Accordingly, it is anticipated
that the Company will continue to incur significant losses. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in generating revenues at a
sufficient quantity or margin or that the Company will ever achieve profitable
operations.
Significant Capital Requirements; Need for Additional Capital; Explanatory
Paragraph in Accountant's Report. The Company's capital requirements have been
and will continue to be significant. The Company has been dependent primarily on
the private placement of equity securities and debt financings. The Company
anticipates, based on its current proposed growth plans and assumptions relating
to its growth and operations, that the proceeds from the existing private
placements and borrowings and planned revenues will not be sufficient to satisfy
the Company's contemplated cash requirements for the next 12 months and that the
Company will be required to raise additional funds within the next 12 months. In
addition, in the event that the Company's plans change or its assumptions prove
to be inaccurate (due to unanticipated expenses, delays, problems, or
otherwise), the Company would be required to seek additional funding sooner than
anticipated. Any such additional funding could be in the form of additional
equity capital. The Company is currently pursuing potential funding
opportunities. However, there can be no assurance that any of such opportunities
will result in actual funding or that additional financing will be available to
the Company when needed, on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If the
Company is unable to obtain additional financing if needed, it will likely be
required to curtail its plan to acquire an operating entity or effect a business
combination and may possibly cease its operations. Any additional equity
financings may involve substantial dilution to the Company's then existing
shareholders. The Company's independent public accountants have included an
explanatory paragraph in their reports on the Company's financial statements for
the years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, which express substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's consolidated
financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue
as a going
7
<PAGE>
concern. As discussed in Footnote 2 to the consolidated financial statements,
the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and accumulated
deficit that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern.
Management of Growth and Attraction and Retention of Key Personnel.
Management of the Company's growth may place a considerable strain on the
Company's management, operations and systems. The Company's ability to execute
any future business strategy will depend in part upon its ability to manage the
demands of a growing business. Any failure of the Company's management team to
effectively manage growth could have a material adverse affect on the Company's
business, financial condition or results of operations. The Company's future
success depends in large part on the continued service of its key management
personnel. The Company believes that its future success also depends on its
ability to attract and retain skilled technical, managerial and marketing
personnel. Competition for qualified personnel is intense. The Company has from
time to time experienced difficulties in recruiting qualified personnel. Failure
by the Company to attract and retain the personnel it requires could have a
material adverse affect on the financial condition and results of operations of
the Company.
Technological Advances and Evolving Industry Standards. The wireless
communications industry, and in particular the SMR industry, is characterized by
rapid technological developments, changes in customer requirements, evolving
industry standards and frequent new product introductions. In the future, the
Company may be required to enhance its existing systems and to develop and
introduce new products that take advantage of technological advances and respond
promptly to new customer requirements and evolving industry standards. There can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to keep pace with the rapid
evolution of the wireless communications industry.
Dependence on Governmental Regulation. The licensing, operation,
acquisition and sale of the Company's SMR licenses are regulated by the FCC. FCC
regulations have undergone significant changes during the last five years and
continue to evolve as new FCC rules and regulations are adopted pursuant to
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 and Telecommunications Act. The
Company's ability to conduct its business is dependent, in part, on its
compliance with FCC rules and regulations. See "Business--Government
Regulation." Future changes in regulation or legislation affecting the Company's
system, including Congress' and the FCC's recent allocation of additional
commercial mobile radio services spectrum, could materially adversely affect the
Company's business. In addition, should the FCC fail to renew any of the
Company's licenses or pass rules or regulations that limit the Company's ability
to conduct its business, this could have a material adverse affect on the
Company.
Assets Primarily Consist of Intangible FCC Licenses. The Company's assets
consist primarily of intangible assets, principally FCC licenses, the value of
which will depend significantly upon the success of the Company's business and
the growth of the SMR and wireless communications industries in general. In the
event of default on indebtedness or liquidation of the Company, there can be no
assurance that the value of these assets will be sufficient to satisfy its
obligations.
Concerns About Mobile Communications Health Risk. Allegations have been
made and certain studies appear to show that the use of portable mobile
communications devices may pose health risks due to radio frequency emissions
from such devices. The actual or perceived risk of mobile communications devices
could adversely affect the Company through a reduced subscriber growth rate, a
loss of current subscribers, reduced network usage per subscriber or through
reduced financing available to the mobile communications industry.
Lack of Dividend History; No Dividends. The Company has never paid
dividends on its Common Stock and intends to utilize any earnings for growth of
its business. Therefore, the Company does not intend to pay cash dividends for
the foreseeable future. This lack of dividends and a dividend history may
adversely affect the liquidity and value of the Company's Common Stock.
Possible Volatility of Market Price. The Company's Common Stock has been
traded on the OTC Bulletin Board since 1984. The Company believes that factors
such as (but not limited to) announcements of developments related to the
Company's business, fluctuations in the Company's quarterly or annual operating
results, failure to meet securities analysts' expectations, general conditions
in the international marketplace and the worldwide economy, announcements of
technological innovations or new systems or enhancements by the Company or its
competitors, developments in patents or other intellectual property rights and
developments in the Company's relationships with clients and suppliers could
cause the price of the Company's Common Stock to fluctuate, perhaps
substantially. In recent years the stock market has experienced extreme price
fluctuations, which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of
affected companies. Such fluctuations could adversely affect the market price of
the Company's Common Stock.
8
<PAGE>
OTC Bulletin Board Listing Requirements. Under the new rules for continued
listing on the Bulletin Board, OTC traded firms are required to become and
remain fully reporting under Section 12 of the 1934 Securities and Exchange Act.
Although the Company intends to complete all future required filings on a timely
basis, there can be no assurance that its $.001 par value Common Stock (YRLS)
will not be de-listed from the Bulletin Board. If de-listed, the market will
almost certainly reflect a depressive effect on the price of the Company's
Common Stock.
Penny Stock Regulations and Requirements for Low Priced Stock. The
Commission adopted regulations which generally define a "penny stock" to be any
non-Nasdaq equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share,
subject to certain exceptions. Based upon the price of the Company's Common
Stock as currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Company's stock is
subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act which imposes additional sales
practice requirements on broker-dealers which sell securities to persons other
than established customers and "accredited investors." For transactions covered
by this Rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for
the purchaser and have received a purchasers written consent to the transaction
prior to sale. Consequently, the Rule may have a negative affect on the ability
of shareholders to sell common shares of the Company in the secondary market.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.
A number of the matters and subject areas discussed in the foregoing "Risk
Factors" section and elsewhere in this 10-KSB Report that are not historical or
current facts deal with potential future circumstances and developments. The
discussion of such matters and subject areas is qualified by the inherent risks
and uncertainties surrounding future expectations generally, and also may
materially differ from the Company's actual future experience involving any one
or more of such matters and subject areas. The Company has attempted to
identify, in context, certain of the factors that it currently believes may
cause actual future experience and results to differ from the Company's current
expectations regarding the relevant matter or subject area. The operation and
results of the Company's wireless communications business also may be subject to
the effect of other risks and uncertainties in addition to the relevant
qualifying factors identified elsewhere in the foregoing "Risk Factors" section,
including, but not limited to, general economic conditions in the geographic
areas and occupational market segments (such as, for example, construction,
delivery, and real estate management services) that the Company is targeting for
its SMR systems, the availability of adequate quantities of system
infrastructure and subscriber equipment and components to meet the Company's
systems deployment and marketing plans and customer demand, the success of
efforts to improve and satisfactorily address any issues relating to the
system's performance, the ability to achieve market penetration and average
subscriber revenue levels sufficient to provide financial viability to the SMR
system, access to sufficient debt or equity capital to meet the Company's
operating and financing needs, the quality and price of similar or comparable
wireless communications services offered or to be offered by the Company's
competitors, including providers of cellular and PCS service, future legislative
or regulatory actions relating to SMR services, other wireless communications
services or telecommunications generally and other risks and uncertainties
described from time to time in the Company's reports filed with the Commission.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Corporate Office:
AWN leases approximately 2000 square feet of executive office space at 9350
East Arapahoe Road, Suite 340, Englewood, Colorado. The office lease extends to
December 31, 2000. All corporate, administrative, accounting and operational
functions are carried out from the corporate headquarters. The Company shares
offices with AWN. As a result of employee and operational reductions, this lease
space is only twenty five percent utilized for Company purposes and is more than
adequate for the Company's current needs. The Company has subleased
approximately 75% of its office space in order to offset overhead.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On September 14, 1998, the Company was served with a Complaint filed in
Superior Court of California, County of San Diego, Case No. 723581 entitled John
Brent, et al vs. ComTec International, Inc., a New Mexico corporation, et al,
Defendants. The Complaint by seven named Plaintiffs alleged securities fraud,
improper sale of unregistered securities, and stock manipulation against the
Company and five individual defendants who were former officers and/or directors
of the Company, none of whom are currently associated with the Company. With
respect to the Company, this suit was terminated by a Court approved settlement
in
9
<PAGE>
July 2000 with the issuance of a total of 300,000 shares of restricted $.001 par
value Common Stock in the Company to the seven plaintiffs.
Litigation with Former Officer and Director
On February 1, 1999, Donald Mack, the former CEO, President and director of
ComTec International, Inc., filed a complaint in the District Court, City and
County of Denver, State of Colorado, Civil Action Number 99CV634, Courtroom 6,
against the Company as well as two individual defendants, a current officer and
a shareholder of ComTec. On March 24, 1999, ComTec filed its Answer and
extensive Counterclaims against Donald Mack ("Mack"). Mack alleges that he is
entitled to continued compensation and benefits based upon a March 31, 1997
addendum to his December 26, 1995 employment contract (which expired in May of
1998). Mack further alleges that although he resigned as an officer in June
1998, he was wrongfully induced to resign. Mack alleges that he is due salary,
car allowance, health plan payments, life insurance payments, stock bonuses and
other items from June 30, 1998 through June 30, 2002. ComTec's answer states
that the March 31, 1997 addendum is null and void as a matter of law, denies any
wrongdoing or inducement and denies any and all liability to Mack. ComTec's
answer further states as affirmative defenses that Mack's claims are barred by
the doctrine of estoppel and unclean hands; that the March 31, 1997 addendum was
entered into under circumstances of fraud and illegality; that Mack's claims are
barred by failure of consideration, fraud and illegality, waiver, and failure to
mitigate; that Mack's alleged claims are more than setoff by the counterclaims
of ComTec against Mack; and that Mack's alleged damages, if any, are the result
of Mack's own actions. ComTec believes it has meritorious and virtuous defenses
and anticipates that it will vigorously and effectively defend against any and
all claims by Mack. The Company filed a number of counterclaims against Mack.
Among the counterclaim allegations of ComTec against Mack are allegations that
an agreement entered into in May of 1995, whereby Mack gained control of ComTec
through an agreement for ComTec to purchase the assets of a corporation
controlled by Mack, KeyStone Holding Corporation, was entered into with intent
to defraud ComTec and its shareholders. Among other allegations, ComTec alleges
that misrepresentations and omissions of material fact were made by Mack prior
to the Keystone transaction, that Mack used ComTec as an instrumentality for his
own personal benefit and affairs, that Mack acted to conceal material facts
regarding Mack's ultra vires and unauthorized acts in the name of ComTec. ComTec
further alleges that Mack took unauthorized and unearned bonuses in stock of
ComTec and cash, that the execution of the employment addendum through which
Mack is alleging amounts are now due him from ComTec was accompanied by
circumstances of fraud and collusion, and that Mack made unauthorized use of
ComTec's funds and property. ComTec's claims against Mack include: intentional
misrepresentation/fraudulent inducement regarding the Keystone transaction;
fraudulent concealment/constructive fraud; breach of warranty; breach of
fiduciary duty; conversion; fraudulent conveyance; civil theft pursuant to
C.R.S. Sections 18-4-401 and 18-4-405 and securities fraud pursuant to C.R.S.
Section 11-51-501. ComTec seeks monetary damages and constructive trust as well
as Declaratory Judgment pursuant to C.R.C.P. 57. In October of 1999, the
Plaintiff, Mack, filed for bankruptcy protection. Various motions are now
pending with respect to the Mack bankruptcy matter as it relates to the
Company's claims against Mack as well as issues related to the status and
jurisdiction of Mack's allegations against the Company. In September 2000, the
state court action was remanded back to state court with the Company's claims
against Mack intact. ComTec believes it has meritorious claims and will
resolutely pursue its claims against Mack.
On February 14, 2000, the Company was served with a Complaint filed in
Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, Central Division, Case No.
BC 224058 entitled A-1 Business Products, Inc. vs. ComTec International, Inc.
The complaint alleges damages of approximately $200,000 with respect to alleged
financing arrangements. In September, 2000, the Plaintiff amended its complaint
to include as defendants two employees of the Company as well as to add
allegations of fraud to its compliant. The Company believes that it has
meritorious defenses and will vigorously defend against the allegations of the
Complaint. The Company has not yet filed its answer to the complaint but has
filed an initial motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction which has
yet to be ruled upon. Due to the preliminary nature of the proceedings, further
information is not available.
Except for the foregoing, no non-course of business or other material legal
proceedings, to which the Company is a party or to which the property of the
Company is subject, is pending or is known by the Company to be contemplated.

Common Stock, $.001 par 600
(c) Dividends:
The Company has paid no dividends during fiscal years ended June 30, 2000,
June 30, 1999 or to the present date. Other than the requirements of the New

only and that the declaration and payment of a dividend not render the Company
insolvent, there are no restrictions on the Company's present or future ability
to pay dividends.
The payment by the Company of dividends, if any, in the future rests within
the discretion of its Board of Directors and will depend, among other things,
upon the Company's earnings, its capital requirements and its financial
condition, as well as other relevant factors. There is no current plan to pay
dividends.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Forward-Looking Statements
The foregoing and subsequent discussion contains certain forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which are intended to be
covered by the safe harbors created thereby. These forward-looking statements
include the plans and objectives of management for future operations, including
plans and objectives relating to the possible further capitalization and
potential acquisitions of or mergers with operating companies. The
forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations
that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to the
foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future
economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all
of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are
beyond the control of the Company. Although the Company believes that the
assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the
assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that
the forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-KSB will prove to be
accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the
forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information
should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person
that the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved.
The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and
results of operations of the Company for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2000,
and June 30, 1999, which should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in
its entirety by, the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included elsewhere in this report.
Statements contained herein that are not historical facts are
forward-looking statements as that term is defined by the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although the Company believes that the
expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, the
forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ from those projected. The Company cautions
investors that any forward-looking statements made by the Company are not
guarantees of future performance and that actual results may differ materially
from those in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties
include, without limitation, fluctuations in demand, loss of subscribers, the
quality and price of similar or comparable wireless communications services, the
existence of well-established competitors who have substantially greater
financial resources and longer operating histories, regulatory delays or
denials, ability to complete intended market roll-out, termination of proposed
transactions, access to sources of capital, adverse results in pending or
threatened litigation, consequences of actions by the FCC, general economics and
the risks discussed under "Business--Risk Factors" in this report.
(a) Plan of Operation:
From May 10, 1995 until April of 1999, the Company's strategic business
plan was, aside from terminated venture in the LED screens and the divested TTI
prepaid phone card investment, been concentrated on wireless telecommunications.
As a result of the Asset Acquisition Agreement (as amended) entered into between
AWN and CMRS Systems, Inc. (an unaffiliated Nevada Corporation) on April 15,
1999, and reported on Form 8-K filed April 30, 1999, the day-to-day SMR
operations of AWN have been undertaken by CMSR Systems, Inc. under a management
contract wherein AWN supervises management of the systems pursuant to FCC rules
but actual day-to-day operations are now conducted by CMSR Systems, Inc. The
Company is now exploring potential acquisition and or merger transactions with
existing business opportunities in telecommunications, information industries,
the computer industry or other compatible business enterprises.
The Company has been and continues to be in the development stage. The
Company has yet to commence its principal planned operations and from inception
of the SMR business plan (March 15, 1994) has only generated auxiliary revenues
to defray the cost of its planned operations, with only limited success in
implementing actual operations. The Company has financed its operations during
the development stage from the sale of its Common Stock and from issuance of
short and long-term debt.
13
<PAGE>
Current Status and Operations:
On December 5, 1997, AWN entered the initial phase of a purchase agreement
whereby AWN purchased seven operating SMR systems for $3,035,700. The wireless
communications assets and associated business acquired from Centennial
Communications Corp. lay within the following seven MTA's: Birmingham, Alabama;
Knoxville, Tennessee; Memphis, Tennessee; Nashville, Tennessee; New Orleans,
Louisiana; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Tulsa, Oklahoma. On April 15, 1999, AWN
executed an Asset Acquisition Agreement (as amended) with CMSR Systems, Inc.
("Buyer"), a Nevada corporation, wherein those assets are to be sold to CMRS
Systems, Inc. The initial phase of the Asset Acquisition Agreement (as amended)
became effective June 1, 1999. The purpose of the Asset Acquisition Agreement is
to facilitate the future sale by American Wireless Network, Inc. to CMSR
Systems, Inc. of specifically identified 900 MHz Licenses and American Wireless
Network, Inc.'s customer base and customer lists associated with the specified
900 MHz Licenses. The agreement also includes the lease of SMR related equipment
owned by AWN to CMSR Systems, Inc. The sale is subject to certain conditions and
events, including final and unappealable regulatory approvals relating to the
transfer of the Licenses to the Buyer. In consideration for the sale, the Buyer
is to assume approximately $1,400,000 of American Wireless Network, Inc.'s debt
to the Federal Communications Commission related to the Licenses. AWN will
retain a seven and one half percent operating interest in the operational
segment represented by the Licenses and operations sold to CMSR Systems, Inc. by
AWN. The 900 MHz Licenses and American Wireless Network, Inc.'s customer base
and customer lists associated with the specified 900 MHz Licenses to be sold to
CMSR Systems, Inc. were purchased by American Wireless Network, Inc. on July 6,
1998 as a part of the acquisition of divisional segment assets from Centennial
Communications Corp. As a part of the Asset Acquisition Agreement (as amended),
the Company will assign its tower site licenses and lease to CMSR Systems, Inc.,
certain SMR related transmission equipment for a five (5) year term at the
initial base rate of $33,750 per quarter for the first year of payments, $42,000
per quarter for the second year of payments, $52,000 per quarter for the third
year of payments, and $57,250 per quarter for the fourth year of payments;
provided, however, that such Equipment Lease payments shall begin one year from
the Effective Date of June 1, 1999. The Lessee shall have the option to extend
the Lease for 1 year terms (up to a total of a 3 year extension after the
termination of the original 5 year term); provided, however, that the monthly
rate will be based upon the fair market value ("FMV") of Equipment on the date
of any extension as agreed upon by the parties; provided that in the event that
Lessee and the Company cannot agree on a FMV, the FMV shall be determined by a
third party appraiser selected by the Company and Lessee. Lessee shall have the
option, within 30 days of the end of any term, to purchase the Equipment at the
then FMV as determined by the parties, provided that in the event that Lessee
and the Company cannot agree on a FMV, the FMV shall be determined by a third
party appraiser selected by the Company and Lessee. In the event of the
bankruptcy of the Company, Lessee shall have the right to purchase the Equipment
at its then FMV. Management believes this agreement will relieve the Company of
the now existing negative cash flow burdens of debt service, operating deficits
and extensive maintenance costs related to the SMR systems. Effective June 1,
1999, all operations previously conducted by AWN with respect to the 900 MHz
Licenses were undertaken by CMSR Systems, Inc. under a management agreement
between AWN and CMSR Systems, Inc. The transfer of the Licenses has been
tentatively approved by the FCC, and documents requesting final approval of the
transfer of the 900 MHz Licenses and assumption of the debt to the FCC related
to the licenses are pending at the FCC.
(b) Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
The Company reported a net loss of $2,223,500 for the year ended June 30,
2000, and a net loss of $1,526,800 for the year ended June 30, 1999, and has
reported net losses of $15,455,200 from inception (March 15, 1994) to June 30,
2000. As reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company
incurred deficient cash flows from operating activities of $54,700 and
$1,046,000 for the years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and has
reported deficient cash flows from operating activities of $4,535,300 from
inception (March 15, 1994) to June 30, 2000. To date, these losses and cash flow
deficiencies have been financed principally through the sale of Common Stock and
warrants and issuance of short and long-term debt which includes related party
debt. Additional capital and/or borrowings will be necessary in order for the
Company to continue in existence until attaining profitable operations. Although
a portion of convertible debt was liquidated through the issuance of Common
Stock, no assurances can be given that the sources of borrowings would continue.
The Company is highly leveraged and a number of developments over the past year
had material adverse effects on the Company. The Company has a significant
investment in license rights, the recoverability of which is dependent upon the
success of future events.
On June 21, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to convert
$1,700,000 of outstanding loans and $444,550 of accrued interest to 21,445,500
shares of $.001 par value Common Stock of the Company. This agreement eliminated
the majority of the Company's debt obligations.
14
<PAGE>
Management is endeavoring to develop a strategic plan to raise private
financing, develop a management team, maintain reporting compliance and explore
potential acquisition and/or merger transactions with existing business
opportunities in telecommunications, information industries, the computer
industry or other cash positive business operations. The Company entered into an
agreement to sell its FCC licenses to eliminate negative cash flow from SMR
operations, to satisfy debt requirements and, in a plan anticipated to generate
cash flows, has entered into an agreement to lease its SMR equipment.
The Company has various proposals for private debt funding pending. There
is no obligation by any entity to provide financing to the Company.
Should the Company be successful in obtaining substantial additional debt
financing, management plans to seek acquisitions of more telecommunication or
computer related businesses, information and data services or other cash
generating enterprises that would generate sufficient cash flow to maintain debt
service. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in the
implementation of its plan for expansion and its overall business plan.
From October 1, 2000 to the end of fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, the
Company estimates its cash needs to maintain operations under its current
negative cash flow situation is $600,000. This amount is composed of $600,000
for working capital assuming that current operations continue in its present
status. These amounts do not include offsets for anticipated amounts of cash
generated from the current operations. There can be no assurances that the
Company will be able to successfully obtain the additional financings or will be
otherwise able to obtain sufficient financing to consummate the Company's
business plan.
The Company has limited capitalization and is dependent on the proceeds of
private or exempt offerings to continue as a going concern and implementing a
business plan. All during fiscal 2000 and to the date of this filing, the
Company has had and continues to have a substantial need for working capital for
normal operating expenses associated with the Company continuing as a going
concern. This lack of cash has slowed its ability to acquire SMR or other
productive assets and initiate revenue producing operations. Any activity in the
wireless industry requires adequate financing and on-going funding sources. The
Company has entered this industry with limited financing and funding sources.
The Company is currently in discussions with one or more entities for private
debt and equity financing package(s).
(c) Results of Operations:
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2000:
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, the Company recorded a net loss
before other income and expense of $173,400 and a net loss of $2,223,500 with a
net loss per common share of $0.05. Management has not included SMR operating
revenues in its financials since past revenues have not been sufficient to be
separately stated in accordance with GAAP. The fiscal year ended June 30, 2000
was a year of reorganization, evaluation and elimination of non-performing
assets and non productive activities remaining from the prior management.
Interest expense of $287,100, interest of $256,000, write-offs from telephone
services discontinued in December, 1997 of $479,800, and a write-down of
$1,314,300 of LED equipments were recorded during the fiscal year ended June 30,
2000, make up the bulk of the total net loss of $2,223,500.
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1999:
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, the Company recorded a net loss
before other income and expense of $54,700 and a net loss of $1,526,800 with a
net loss per common share of $0.04. The Company had ancillary income of $124,200
from dividends, interest and other sources. Management has not included SMR
operating revenues in its financials since past revenues have not been
sufficient to be separately stated in accordance with GAAP. Interest expense of
$287,100, loan origination fees of $582,700 and losses from telephone services
discontinued in December, 1997 of $776,500 were recorded, making up the bulk of
the total net loss of $1,526,800.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Company has adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
Board (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," issued in June 1997.
Comprehensive income includes net income and all changes in an enterprise's
other comprehensive income including, among other things, foreign currency
translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on
15
<PAGE>
certain investments in debt and equity securities. The Company also adopted
SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information." This Statement establishes standards for reporting information
about operating segments in annual financial statements, and requires that an
enterprise report selected information about operating segments in interim
reports issued to shareholders. The Company does not expect the adoption of
these statements to have a material impact on its financial condition or results
of operations.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which specifies the
method of computation, presentation and disclosure for Earnings Per Share. SFAS
No. 128 requires the presentation of two EPS amounts, basic and diluted. Basic
EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS includes the dilution
that would occur if outstanding stock options and other dilutive securities were
exercised and is comparable to the EPS the Company has historically reported.
The diluted EPS calculation excludes the effect of stock options when their
exercise prices exceed the average market price over the period. There is no
change in loss per share because diluted EPS is anti-dilutive.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which defines
derivatives, requires that derivatives be carried at fair value, and provides
for hedge accounting when certain conditions are met. This statement was
effective beginning in the year 2000. The adoption of this statement will not
have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 1998, the AICPA finalized SOP 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of
Start-Up Activities," which requires that costs incurred for start-up activities
be expensed as incurred. This SOP, which was effective in the first quarter of
1999, did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In 1998, the Company adopted the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants' ("AICPA") Statement of Position 98-1 ("SOP 98-1"), "Accounting for
the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." SOP 98-1
defines the types of computer software project costs that may be capitalized.
All other costs must be expensed in the period incurred. In order for costs to
be capitalized, the computer software project must be intended to create a new
system or add identifiable functionality to an existing system. Adoption of this
statement did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
ITEM 6A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As of the date hereof, all the Company's long and short term debt bears
fixed interest rates; however, the fair market value of this debt is sensitive
to changes in prevailing interest rates. The Company runs the risk that market
rates will decline and the required payments will exceed those based on the
current market rate. The Company does not use interest rate derivative
instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate changes.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Financial statements meeting the requirements of Item 310 of Regulation
S-B, for the years ending June 30, 1999 and June 30, l999, which have been

the Company's two most recent fiscal years, and the interim periods since

Powell & DeSanctis, P.A. with respect to the application of accounting
principles to a specified transaction, the type of audit opinion that might be

(c) Option/SAR Grant Table.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, no effective grants
of stock options or freestanding SAR's were made by the Company.
The 1997 Stock Option Plan
On March 28, 1997, the shareholders of the Company adopted the 1997 Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan") reserving an aggregate of 900,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock (the "Available Shares") for issuance pursuant to the
exercise of stock options ("Options") which may be granted to employees,
officers, and directors of the Company and consultants to the Company. The Plan
also provides for annual adjustment in the number of Available Shares,
commencing June 30, 1997, to a number equal to 10% of the number of shares
outstanding on June 30 of the preceding year or 980,000 shares, whichever is
greater. The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on February 12, 1997.
The Plan is designed to (i) induce qualified persons to become employees,
officers, or directors of the Company; (ii) reward such persons for past
services to the Company; (iii) encourage such persons to remain in the employ of
the Company or associated with the Company; and (iv) provide additional
incentive for such persons to put forth maximum efforts for the success of
business of the Company.
The Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors (the "Committee"). Transactions under the Plan are intended to comply
with all applicable conditions of Rule16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"). In addition to determining who will be
granted Options, the Committee has the authority and discretion to determine
when Options will be granted and the number of Options to be granted. The
Committee may determine which Options may be intended to qualify ("Incentive
Stock Option") for special treatment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended from time to time (the "Code"), or Non-Qualified Options ("Non-Qualified
Stock Options") which are not intended to so qualify.
19
<PAGE>
The Plan provides that disinterested directors will receive automatic
option grants to purchase 14,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock upon their
initial appointment or election as directors, and on the date of each subsequent
annual shareholders' meeting in which such director is reelected as a director.
Grants to employee directors and officer/directors can be either Non-Qualified
Stock Options or Incentive Stock Options, to the extent that they do not exceed
the Incentive Stock Option exercise limitations, and the portion of an option to
an employee director or officer/director that exceeds the dollar limitations of
Code Section 422 will be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. All options
granted to disinterested directors will be Non-Qualified Options.
This Plan will remain in effect until it is terminated by the Compensation
Committee, except that no Incentive Stock Option will be granted after January
31, 2007.
The Plan contains provisions for proportionate adjustment of the number of
shares for outstanding options and the option price per share in the event of
stock dividends, recapitalizations resulting in stock, reverse stock splits or
combinations or exchanges of shares.
Each option granted under the Plan will be evidenced by a written option
agreement between the Company and the optionee. The option price of any
Incentive Stock Option may be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per
share on the date of grant of the option; provided, however, that any Incentive
Stock Option granted under the Plan to a person owning more than ten percent of
the total combined voting power of the Common Stock will have an option price of
not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant of
the Incentive Stock Option. Each Non-Qualified Stock Option granted under the
Plan will be at a price no less than 85% of the Fair Market Value per share on
the date of grant, "Fair Market Value" per share as of a particular date is
defined in the Plan as the last sale price of the Company's Common Stock as
reported on a national securities exchange or on the NASDAQ System or, if none,
the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Company's Common Stock as
reported by NASDAQ or, if such quotations are unavailable, the value determined
by the Committee in its discretion in good faith.
The exercise period of options granted under the Plan may not exceed ten
years from the date of grant thereof. Incentive Stock Options granted to a
person owning more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of the
Common Stock of the Company will be for no more than five years.
No options were formally issued from the 1997 Stock Option Plan during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2000. As a disinterested director, Marc Maassen
became entitled to receive automatic option grants to purchase 14,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock upon his initial appointment as a director on
September 30, 1998, and an option for an additional 14,000 shares on each
anniversary of his term as a director, September 30, 1999 and September 30,
2000.
(d) Aggregate Option/SAR Exercises and Fiscal Year-End Option/SAR Value
Table.
No stock options or freestanding SAR's are issued or outstanding.
Accordingly, and during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, no stock options or
freestanding SAR's were exercised. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an aggregate
of 980,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, $.001 par value per share are
reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company's 1997 stock option plan as
adopted by the Company's Board of Directors on February 12, 1997, and approved
by the shareholders on March 28, 1997.
(e) Compensation of Directors.
(1) and (2). During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, Marc Maassen
received 36,000 shares of the Company's $.001 par value Common Stock valued at
approximately $3,456 for services as an outside director. No other director of
the Company received any compensation in his capacity as director.
(f) Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment, and Change-in
Control Arrangements.
A former officer, Donald G. Mack, was acting as President and CEO of the
Company under a three year contract ending in May, 1998. Mr. Mack resigned as
President and CEO of the Company and as an officer and director of each of the
Company's subsidiaries on June 23, 1998. Mr. Mack's resignation letter stated
that his resignation was not a waiver of any rights or claims to any
compensation, stock, options, bonuses or accrued amounts of cash, loans or
guarantees made on behalf of the Company under
20
<PAGE>
the terms and conditions of his employment contract and an alleged addendum
thereto. Mr. Mack's resignation letter did not request that any disagreement be
reported or disclosed in the Company's regulatory filings. Prior to a special
meeting of shareholders held August 26, 1998, one of the purposes of which
meeting was to remove Mr. Mack as a director, by a letter dated August 21, 1998,
Donald G. Mack tendered his resignation as a Director of the Company and as an
officer and director of any of its subsidiaries. Previously, on June 23, 1998,
Mr. Mack had tendered his resignation as an officer of the Company and as an
officer and director of any of its subsidiaries. Mr. Mack's resignation letter
stated that his resignation was not a waiver of any rights or claims to any
compensation, stock, options, bonuses or accrued amounts of cash, loans or
guarantees made on behalf of the Company under the terms and conditions of his
employment contract. Mr. Mack's resignation letter did not request that any
disagreement be reported or disclosed in the Company's regulatory filings. Mr.
Mack was officially removed as a Director of the Company by the special meeting
of shareholders held August 26, 1998. Mr. Mack has subsequently filed litigation
against the Company related to alleged compensation entitlements and the Company
has filed extensive counterclaims against Mr. Mack. SEE ITEM 3. LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS - LITIGATION WITH FORMER OFFICER AND DIRECTOR
On February 16, 1998, the Company entered into a letter agreement with
James Krejci, which remains to be formalized, by which James Krejci became
employed as Chief Operations Officer of the Company and President and CEO of
AWN. The letter agreement calls for a three year employment agreement with the
opportunity for Mr. Krejci to obtain, through Common Stock option agreements, up
to ten percent (10%) of the outstanding common stock of the Company over a three
year period. The preliminary agreement calls for Mr. Krejci to receive stock
options vesting in three equal annual increments to equal a total of 10% of the
Company's outstanding common shares over a three year period. The strike price
of all of the potential options, as modified (repriced) by Board of Director
action on October 7, 1998, is $.056 per share, representing 80% of the bid price
of the Company's Common Stock on September 2nd, 1998 (closing bid price $.07),
Mr. Krejci's actual appointment date as President and CEO of the Company. On May
6, 1999, as additional employee incentive, the non-interested members of the
Board of Directors passed a resolution granting Mr. Krejci a four year option,
to become effective after July 1, 1999, to purchase 1,300,000 shares of the
Company's $.001 par value Common Stock at a strike price of $.05 per share,
based upon a calculation of 111% of the $.045 bid price of the stock on May 6,
1999. On March 20, 2000, as additional employee incentive, the non-interested
members of the Board of Directors passed a resolution granting Mr. Krejci a four
year option, to become effective after July 1, 2000, to purchase 1,300,000
shares of the Company's $.001 par value Common Stock at a strike price of $.111
per share, based upon a calculation of 111% of the $.10 closing bid price of the
stock on March 21, 2000. No options have actually been issued pursuant to
agreements with Mr. Krejci.
Effective January 1, 1999, the Company entered into a letter agreement with
Gordon Dihle, which remains to be formalized, by which Gordon Dihle became
employed as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The letter agreement calls
for a three year employment agreement with the opportunity for Mr. Dihle to
obtain, through common stock option agreements, up to seven and one half percent
(7.5%) of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company over a three year period.
The preliminary agreement calls for Mr. Dihle to receive stock options vesting
in annual increments of 2.5% to equal a total of 7.5% of the Company's
outstanding common shares over a three year period. The strike price of all of
the options is $.056 per share, representing 80% of the bid price of the
Company's Common Stock on September 2, 1998 (closing bid price $.07), Mr.
Dihle's date of appointment as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. On May 6,
1999, as additional employee incentive, the non-interested members of the Board
of Directors passed a resolution granting Mr. Dihle a four year option, to
become effective after July 1, 1999, to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the
Company's $.001 par value Common Stock at a strike price of $.05 per share,
based upon a calculation of 111% of the $.045 bid price of the stock on May 6,
1999. On March 20, 2000, as additional employee incentive, the non-interested
members of the Board of Directors passed a resolution granting Mr. Dihle a four
year option, to become effective after July 1, 2000, to purchase 1,000,000
shares of the Company's $.001 par value Common Stock at a strike price of $.111
per share, based upon a calculation of 111% of the $.10 closing bid price of the
stock on March 21, 2000. No options have actually been issued pursuant to
agreements with Mr. Dihle.
Report on Repricing of Options/SAR's.
No stock options or freestanding SAR's were issued or outstanding.
Accordingly, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, no stock options or
freestanding SAR's were repriced.
With respect to the informal letter agreement between Mr. Krejci, the
Company's CEO, and the Company, in reference to the spirit of the agreement, the
strike price of the potential options available to be earned by Mr. Krejci, was
modified (repriced) by Board of Director action on October 7, 1998, to $.056 per
share, representing 80% of the bid price of the Company's Common Stock
21
<PAGE>
on September 2, 1998 (closing bid price $.07), Mr. Krejci's actual appointment
date as President and CEO of the Company. No options have actually been issued

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Certain Transactions
In April 1997, a former officer of the Company, Donald G. Mack, while an
officer/director/shareholder of the Company, collateralized the purchase of an
automobile in a limited liability company, which is affiliated with Donald G.
Mack. A certificate of deposit of the Company in the amount of $78,600 was held
by a financial institution as collateral to the automobile purchased by the
related party. The collateral was reduced by approximately $10,000 during the
subsequent period. The certificate of deposit is restricted and is included in
cash and equivalents. The Company subsequently obtained release of the
collateralized certificate of deposit from the financial institution in December
1998. The Company has filed extensive claims against Mr. Mack. SEE ITEM 3. LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS - LITIGATION WITH FORMER OFFICER AND DIRECTOR.
On February 16, 1998, the Company entered into a letter agreement (as

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Comtec International Inc and Subsidiaries
Englewood, CO
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Comtec
International, Inc. and Subsidiaries (a company in the development stage) as of
June 30, 2000 and 1999 and the related consolidated statements of operations,
shareholders' equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the years then ended and
the amounts for the years ended June 30, 2000 included in the cumulative period
from inception (March 15, 1994) to June 30, 2000. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
consolidated 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 consolidated financial position of Comtec
International, Inc. and for the year then ended and the amounts for the year
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 included in the cumulative period from inception
(March 15, 1994)
F-2
<PAGE>
to June 30, 2000 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 of notes to
consolidated financial statements, the Company experienced net losses for the
year ended June 30, 2000 of $2,223,500 and has experienced net losses from
inception. Sources of cash flows have been through the sales of its common
shares ($1,138,900) and from borrowings under financing activities ($6,609,600).
The borrowings under financing activities may cause severe liquidity problems.
No assurances can be given to the continuation of the sales of securities or
continued ability to obtain short or long term borrowings to maintain the
Company's present cash flow requirements. The Company's recurring losses from
operations and limited capital resources raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans with regard
to these matters are also described in Note 2 of notes to consolidated financial
statements. To date the Company has been dependent on its major shareholder
group for debt and equity financing. There is no assurance that this shareholder
group will continue as a source of new funds. The Company's ability to achieve
the elements of its business plan, which may be necessary to permit the
realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of
business, is uncertain. As discussed in Notes 13 and 14 of notes to consolidated
financial statements, the Company is a defendent in various matters relating to
stock transactions and an employment agreement. Because of the present stage of
litigation, the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot presently be
determined. Accordingly, no provisions for losses and liabilities that may
result therefrom have been made in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements. All these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these
uncertainties.

(A COMPANY IN THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE)
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999
Basis of accounting:
Comtec International, Inc. (the Company) prepares its financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
This basis of accounting recognized when earned, and expenses and
losses are recognized when incurred. Financial statement items are
recorded at historical cost and may not necessarily represent current
values.
Principles of consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Comtec
International, Inc. and all subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reverse stock split:
On December 26, 1997, the Board of Directors, pursuant to shareholder
approval granted at the annual meeting of shareholders held on March
28, 1997, voted to approve a one for five (1:5) reverse stock split of
the Company's $.001 par value common stock, effective January 31,1998.
All share and per share data is stated to reflect the reverse split.
Management 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, 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. Certain amounts included in
the financial statements are estimated based on currently available
information and management's judgment as to the outcome of future
conditions and circumstances. Changes in the status of certain facts or
circumstances could result in material changes to the estimates used in
the preparation of the financial statements and actual results could
differ from the estimates and assumptions. Every effort is made to
ensure the integrity of such estimates.
Fair value of financial instruments:
The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable,
accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values
because of the short duration of these instruments.
Impairment of long-lived assets:
Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by
the Company are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Intangible assets have been written down to their net
estimated realizable value. As judgment is involved, the estimates are
not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize.
Cash and cash equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with
original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

(A COMPANY IN THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE)
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999
Marketable securities:
Marketable securities are classified as available for sale and are
reported at fair value. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices.
At June 30, 1997, marketable securities consisted of mutual funds and
the Company recorded the unrealized loss in shareholders' equity . All
marketable securities were disposed of during the year ended June 30,
1998.
Property, equipment and depreciation:
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight line method
over the estimated useful lives as follows:
Estimated Useful Lives
(in years)
----------------------
Office furniture and equipment 10
Communication equipment 7
Computer equipment 5
The cost of fixed assets retired or sold, together with the related
accumulated depreciation, are removed from the appropriate asset and
depreciation accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in
net earnings.
Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred, and
expenditures for significant betterments and renewals are capitalized.
The cost of property and equipment retired or sold, together with the
related accumulated depreciation, are removed from the appropriated
asset and depreciation accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is
included in operations.
License rights:
License rights are recorded at cost, less accumulated amortization.
Licenses are amortized to operations using the straight-line method
over the remaining term.
Income taxes:
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability
method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applied to taxable
income. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change
in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the
enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax
assets when it is more likely than not that the asset will not be
realized.
Per share amounts:
Loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average
number of shares outstanding throughout the year.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999
Stock based compensation:
The Company applies the intrinsic value method for accounting for stock
based compensation described by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, OAccounting for Stock Issued to Employees.O Had the Company applied
the fair value method described by the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards Board (SFAS) No. 123, Oaccounting for Stock-Based
Compensation,O it would report the effect of compensation expense for
stock based compensation as pro-forma effects on income and earning per
share, if material.
Accounting Pronouncements:
The Company has adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
Board (SFAS) No. 130, OReporting Comprehensive Income,O issued in June
1997. Comprehensive income includes net income and all changes in an
enterprise's other comprehensive income including, among other things,
foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and
losses on certain investments in debt and equity securities. The
Company also adopted SFAS No. 131, ODisclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information.O This Statement establishes
standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual
financial statements, and requires that an enterprise report selected
information about operating segments in interim reports issued to
shareholders. The Company does not expect the adoption of these
statements to have a material impact on its financial condition or
results of operations.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which specifies
the method of computation, presentation, and disclosure for Earnings
Per Share. SFAS No. 128 requires the presentation of two EPS amounts,
basic and diluted. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income
(loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for
the period. Diluted EPS includes the dilution that would occur if
outstanding stock options and other dilutive securities were exercised
and is comparable to the EPS the Company has historically reported. The
diluted EPS calculation excludes the effect of stock options when their
exercise prices exceed the average market price over the period. There
is no change in loss per share because diluted EPS is anti-dilutive.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
133, OAccounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,O
which defines derivatives, requires that derivatives be carried at fair
value, and provides for hedge accounting when certain conditions are
met. This statement is effective beginning in the year 2000. The
adoption of this statement will not have an impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
In April 1998, the AICPA finalized SOP 98-5, OReporting on the Costs of
Start-Up Activities,O which require that costs incurred for start-up
activities, be expensed as incurred. This SOP, which is effective in
the first quarter of 1999, is not expected to have a material impact on
the consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements (continued):
In 1998, the Company, adopted the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants' (OAICPAO) Statement of Position 98-1 (OSOP 98-1O),
OAccounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained
for Internal Use.O SOP 98-1 defines the types of computer software
project costs that may be capitalized. All other costs must be expensed
in the period incurred. In order for costs to be capitalized, the
computer software project must be intended to create a new system or
add identifiable functionality to an existing system. Adoption of this
statement did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.
Reclassifications:
In order to facilitate comparison of financial information, certain
amounts reported in the prior year have been reclassified to conform
with the current year presentation.

1. Organization and business:
Comtec International, Inc. (Comtec), formerly Nisus Video, Inc., was
incorporated in the State of New Mexico on July 6, 1983. On May 10,
1995, Comtec shareholders approved the exchange of 2,245,794 common
shares in exchange for all the outstanding common stock of Keystone
Holding Corporation, Inc. (Keystone). Comtec and Keystone were related
parties through certain common shareholders and management. The
acquisitions had been accounted for in a manner similar to the pooling
of interests method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 16, Accounting for Business Combinations, since it
represents an exchange of entities under common control. Accordingly,
the consolidated financial statements of prior years have been restated
to include the accounts of the companies transferred, all at historical
costs. No intercompany transactions existed between the companies
during the prior periods and no adjustments were necessary to conform
the accounting policies of the company.
Information about the Company's subsidiaries is presented below:
Percentage State Date of
Company Owned Organized Organization
------- ----- --------- ------------
American Wireless Network, Inc 100.0% Colorado December 3, 1996
(AWN)
TTI Communications Corporation 70.0% Colorado February 12, 1997
(TTI)
International Media Group, Ltd. 100.0% Colorado March 20, 1997
(IMG)
AmNet Resources, Ltd. (AmNet) 100.0% Colorado May 10, 1997
(formerly CTI Real Estate, Inc.)
Custom Concepts, Inc. (CCI) 100.0% Colorado December 2, 1997
The subsidiaries are principally in the telecommunication business
except for AmNet, which held real property. The real property was
foreclosed during the year ended June 30, 1997. AmNet was inactive
during the current fiscal year. In December, 1997, AWN acquired
management control of 160 channels of 900Mhz Metropolitan Trading Area
licensed for seven operating Specialized Mobile Radio (SMR) systems
located within five states, principally in the Southern and Western
United States, and began generating SMR revenue. In June 1998 the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved the final sale of the
licenses and assignment of the associated promissory notes from the
seller to AWN. TTI was in the business of reselling long distance
service through prepaid phone cards. TTI became operational in February
1997 and ceased operations on December 2, 1997, due to excessive
losses. These operations only provided auxiliary revenues and did not
take Comtec out of the development stage. IMG was formed to operate and
market advertising media through the use of giant LED screens. On March
23, 1998, the Company acquired the LED screens through the issuance of
5,000,000 common shares valued at $.48 per share.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999
1. Organization and business:
On May 8, 1998, the Board of Directors authorized management to
liquidate the LED screen. Subsequently, the Company sold the LED screen
and related equipment which are reflected as current assets in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets. CCI was formed to assist in
the wind-down phase of TTI and was inactive during the later part of
the current fiscal year.
Comtec has been and continues to be in the development stage. Since
1995, the Company has been executing strategic business plans to
develop various telecommunications services and products, principally
in the area of SMR. Prior to December 4, 1997, the Company had yet to
commence its principal planned operations and from inception (March 15,
1994) had only generated limited revenues to defray the cost of its
planned operations. On December 4, 1997, AWN acquired management
control of 160 channels of 900Mhz Metropolitan Trading Area licenses
and began generating SMR revenue, as discussed above. While AWN's
operations for the year ended June 30, 1998 were not profitable and
additional capital will be required to develop the AWN business plan,
it is the intent of Comtec's management that significant operations
could be generated through AWN which will take the Company out of the
development stage. The Company has financed its operations during the
development stage from the sale of its common stock and from issuance
of short and long-term debt. Subsequently, the Company has entered into
agreements with an independent third party for the sale of its FCC
licenses and lease of its SMR equipment. No assurances can be given
that the sale and operating lease would take the Company out of
development stage.
2. Going concern, liquidity and strategic planning:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company
reported net losses of $2,223,500 and $1,526,800 for the years ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999 and has reported cumulative net losses of
$15,455,200 from inception (March 15, 1994) to June 30, 2000. As
reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company
incurred negative cash flows from operating activities of $54,700 and
$1,046,000 for the years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 and has reported
negative cash flows from operating activities of $4,535,300 from
inception (March 15, 1994) to June 30, 2000. To date, these have been
financed principally through the sale of common stock and warrants
($1,138,900) and issuance of short and long-term debt ($6,609,600),
including related party debt. Additional capital and/or borrowings will
be necessary in order for the Company to continue in existence until
attaining and sustaining profitable operations.
The Company's principal source of working capital funding has been
Geneva Reinsurance Company Ltd. (Geneva), a Nevis company, whose
shareholders are clients of Zephyr International Limited (Zephyr), a
Cayman Islands investment brokerage and management company. (Read Note
7 on Convertible Debentures). Additional working capital funding was
provided by Cayman Offshore International, Ltd. (Cayman), Queens Cross
Group, Ltd. (Queens) and Overseas Foreign Holdings, Ltd. (Overseas)
which are also clients of Zephyr. In September 1998, the Company's
Board of Directors approved the terms of a proposed debt financing with
Sigma Finance Corporation (Sigma), an affiliate of Zephyr.

2. Going concern, liquidity and strategic planning (continued):
Hereinafter Geneva, Cayman, Queens, Overseas and Sigma will be referred
to in the aggregate as Oclients and affiliates of ZephyrO. The Company
has been dependent on clients and affiliates of Zephyr to maintain its
cash flow, and no assurances can be given that they will continue as a
source of funding or complete the proposed financing agreements. The
amounts of the proposed financing arrangements have not been finalized.
Management has continued to develop a strategic business plan to raise
private financing, develop a management team, maintain reporting
compliance and seek new expansive areas in telecommunications. Should
the Company be successful in obtaining sufficient funds, management
intends to continue developing the market for the Company's SMR
services in the territories they currently represent and would pursue
SMR acquisitions on an opportunistic basis. However, in order to
satisfy current obligations the Company is selling its FCC licenses to
satisfy debt requirements and to generate cash flows is leasing its SMR
equipment. Should the Company be successful in obtaining substantial
additional debt financing, management plans to seek acquisitions of
more mature telecommunication businesses that would generate sufficient
cash flow to maintain debt service.
In December 1997, the Company acquired licenses to operate seven SMR
systems located within five states for approximately $3,035,700.
Management anticipates that an additional investment of several million
dollars will be needed to develop an effective sales and marketing
program and fund equipment purchases before the seven operating systems
will generate sufficient cash flow to meet current operating expenses
and overhead. In order to acquire the SMR licenses, the Company
borrowed $1,600,000 from Geneva for the initial payments and working
capital. The Company borrowed an additional $100,000 from Cayman and
$600,000 from Queens for working capital and payments required at the
final closing on the SMR systems. As part of its plan to resolve the
lack of liquidity, the Company issued approximately 2,083,300 common
shares at $.48 per share and approximately 16,000,000 common shares at
$.10 per share to liquidate the $1,000,000 and $1,600,000 convertible
debentures, respectively. Subsequently, Overseas and Cayman advanced an
additional $250,000 and $200,000, respectively, to the Company to fund
working capital.
There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in the
implementation of its plan for expansion and its overall business plan.

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 130, OReporting Comprehensive Income.O SFAS 130 establishes

4. Acquisitions and dispositions:
On December 5, 1997, the Company acquired from Centennial
Communications Corp. (CCC) management control of seven operating SMR
systems located within five states, including SMR licenses obtained
from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), radio equipment and
antennas, tower site leases and customer lists, for approximately
$3,035,700. The final transfer of title to the acquired assets was
subject to the FCC's approval of the sale and assignment of the SMR
licenses and assumption of the related FCC promissory notes. The FCC
approval was obtained on June 11, 1998, and the final closing took
place on July 6, 1998. The acquisition has been reflected at cost in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Payment of the
purchase price of $3,035,700 was as follows:
Amount

4. Acquisitions and dispositions (continued):
In April 1996, the Company entered into a license option agreement (as
subsequently amended) to purchase approximately 1,380 SMR radio
channels in the 800 Mhz radio spectrum form a number of independent
license holders. The purchase price of the option rights was
$1,594,500, as amended, and was payable as follows:
Amount
----------
Cash paid on closing $ 150,000
Issuance of:
560,000 common shares of common
stock at $1.25 per share 700,000
39,767 shares of Series C Redeemable
Convertible Preferred Stock, $1.00
par value 397,000
139,000 shares of common stock at
$2.50 per share 347,500
----------
$1,594,500
==========
The Company had a significant investment in the license rights, the
recoverability of which was dependent upon the success of funding a
settlement with the independent license holder. The settlement required
the repurchase of all previously issued common and preferred stock for
$925,000. At June 30, 1997, it was not the intention of management to
pay the settlement and accordingly the license option agreement was
terminated. The Company canceled the common stock and Series C
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock issued as if the termination had
occurred on June 30, 1997, which resulted in a loss of $150,000. The
holder of the common stock and Series C Redeemable Convertible
Preferred Stock has subsequently surrendered the common and preferred
stock certificates which were the canceled.
In March 1998, the Company acquired large Light Emitting Diode (LED)
screens from a group of Geneva shareholders (Read Note 8 on convertible
debentures) for $2,400,000, which was financed by the sellers and
liquidated by the issuance of approximately 5,000,000 common shares at
$.48 per share. Closing bid price of the common stock was approximately
$0.26 per share. The Company wrote down the acquisition based upon the
fair value of the stock issued ($1,300,000). Management has been
authorized to sell the screens for the best possible price.
During the year ended June 30, 1997, land and buildings with a net book
value of $1,867,100 were foreclosed upon. The foreclosures resulted
from litigation for nonperformance. Long and short-term debt
($1,081,300) and equity ($786,200) were assumed or canceled as a result
of the foreclosures. The Company recognized a gain of $400, which was
credited to operations.

4. Acquisitions and dispositions (continued):
In January 1996, the Company executed an agreement to acquire 61% of
the outstanding common stock of Network Teleports, Inc. for
approximately $1,250,000 consisting of a $25,000 deposit and the
issuance of 980,000 shares of common stock at $1.25 per share
($1,225,000), which were held in escrow until approval was obtained
from the FCC. Certain shareholders of the Company were also
shareholders of Network Teleports, Inc. (related parties). During the
year ended June 30, 1997, the agreement was terminated, which resulted
in a loss to the Company of approximately $318,400 consisting of the
$25,000 deposit and equipment with a net book value of $293,400. The
loss was charged to operations during the year ended June 30, 1997. The
escrowed shares were canceled by mutual consent of the parties.
In August, 1995, the Company acquired rights to 185 unconstructed and
non-operational SMR channels for $75,000 including a note payable for
$50,000, collateralized by real property. The FCC canceled 110
licenses, and the remaining 75 licenses were considered active. The
real property that collateralized the note was lost in a foreclosure as
described earlier, and the Company forfeited the remaining licenses. As
a result, the Company recognized a loss of approximately $9,100, which
was charged to operations during the year ended June 30, 1997. The loss
was determined as follows:
Original cash deposit $ 25,000
Note payable 50,000
Accrued interest 9,100
----------
84,100
Original basis 75,000
----------
Loss on cancellation $ 9,100
==========
The Company had advanced $40,000 for the acquisition of an advertising
company. The acquisition agreement was terminated and the advance was
converted to prepaid advertising costs in October 1997. Subsequently,
the advertising company started to produce media advertising for AWN,
however, AWN decided not to proceed with the advertising program. The
prepaid advertising costs were charged to operations during 1998.

5. Concentrations of credit risk:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts
receivable. During the year, the Company's account balances with
financial institutions may exceed federally insured limits. Management
regularly monitors their balances and attempts to keep this potential
risk to a minimum by maintaining their accounts with financial
institutions that they believe are of good quality.
The Company may have a concentration of credit risk with respect to
accounts receivable, as substantially all customers resulted from SMR
and prepaid phone services. The Company maintains, when appropriate, an
allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable. Therefore, no
additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for collection losses is
believed inherent in the Company's accounts receivable and to date have
been within management's expectations.

and/or accrued $150,800 in compensation and issued 60,000 shares to
satisfy half of the initial bonus. No stock options were issued in
connection with this agreement.
The Company had an employment agreement with its former Chief Executive
Officer/director/shareholder (former OCEOO) with whom the Company is in
litigation. The employment agreement ended by its terms on May 10,
1998, although there is an addendum to such agreement, which is in
dispute, which addendum would have extended the agreement to June 30,
2002. The agreement provided for minimum salary levels adjusted
annually, term life insurance as well as incentive bonuses payable if
specified management goals are attained. The agreement allowed the
conversion of any unpaid compensation into common stock into common
stock at five percent (5%) of the net increase in the net assets of the
Company and provided for an additional bonus of ten percent (10%) of
net earnings before income taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and
an annual stock bonus equal to five percent (5.0%) of the issued and
outstanding common stock. For the year ended June 30, 1997 , the five
percent (5.0%) stock bonus of approximately $291,200 (727,952 shares at
$.40 per share) was accrued and charged to operations. There is pending
litigation between the Company and the former CEO who is no longer with
the Company. Information available from Management indicates that this
litigation is in District Court, City and County of Denver, State of
Colorado, Case No. 99CV634 and is being defended and counterclaimed
vigorously by the Company. The probability of the outcome of the
litigation can not be assessed since it is not probable that a
liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements nor
can the amount of loss, if any, be reasonably estimated.
An employment agreement with another former
officer/director/shareholder was settled an October 8, 1997, which
called for the issuance of approximately 520,700 common shares at $0.25
per share ($130,200). The amount, which was accrued and charged to
operations during the year ended June 30, 1997, remains unpaid.

13. Commitments, contingencies, litigation, transactions with related parties
and other (continued):
Termination of private placement:
During 1997, the Company prepared a private placement offering. The
discussions regarding the offering were terminated and the cost of
approximately $25,000 was charged to operations at June 30, 1997. The
Company's attorney's were subsequently successful in recouping $24,400
from the securities firm which has been accrued and reflected as other
income at June, 1998.
Tax examination:
The Internal Revenue Service is conducting an examination of the
Company's 1994 Federal income tax return. At this time counsel and
management are unable to either determine whether any adjustments will
be proposed or estimate the amount of any such proposed adjustments,
therefore, no provision has been made in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.
Litigation:
Pending litigation includes a case brought by several California
investors alleging securities fraud, manipulation and improper sales
and seeking damages of approximately $850,000 or recision of their
stock purchases and return of at least $250,000 of the price paid.
Counsel is unable to gauge the outcome of these matters at this time,
consequently, no provision has been made in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
Claims made by a telecommunications service provider and a former
employee for breach of their agreements were settled during the year
ended June 30, 1998 for $47,500, which was charged to current
operations.
The Company is a defendant to various other lawsuits, claims and
proceedings. Management considers these other actions as being
incidental to the Company's business and is of the opinion that the
financial exposure of these other actions will not materially affect
the financial position of the Company.
Minority interest:
Minority interest represents the cumulative effect of earnings, losses,
capital contributions and distributions in TTI Communication
Corporation. The minority interest of TTI Communications Corporation
reflects no value at June 30, 1997. At June 30, 1997, unused loss of
the minority interest of approximately $166,900 can be utilized to
offset future profits.
Rental commitments:
In December 1997, the Company relocated its principal offices to
Englewood, CO and executed a three year lease on the premises which
expires November 30, 2000. Minimum annual lease payments will be
approximately five month period ending November 30, 2000.

Year 2000 compliance:
The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two (2) digits rather than four (4) digits to define the year.
Any of the Company's computer programs that have date sensitive
software may recognize a date using O00O as the year 1900 rather than
2000. This problem could force computers to either shut down or provide
incorrect data or information. The Company utilizes generic software
programs developed, maintained and upgraded by independent computer
software providers. In response to the year 2000 issue, management is
relying on the providers of these software programs will resolve the
date sensitive issue so that all critical systems will be in compliance
prior to the year 2000. There can be no assurance that the providers of
the software or the manufacturers of chips will resolve the issue.
14. Subsequent events:
Litigation with former officer and director:
On February 1, 1999, the Company's former CEO filed a complaint against
the Company, its present CEO and the managing director of Zephyr. The
former CEO alleges that he is entitled to continued compensation and
benefits based upon a March 31, 1997 addendum to his December 26, 1995
employment contract (which expired on May 10, 1998) and that he was
wrongfully induced to resign as an officer in June 1998. He alleges
that he is due salary, car allowance, health plan and life insurance
payments, stock bonuses and other items from May 10, 1998 through June
30, 2002.

14. Subsequent events:
On March 24, 1999, the Company filed its answer and extensive
counterclaims against the former CEO. The Company's answer states that
the March 31, 1997 addendum is null and void as a matter of law, denies
any wrongdoing or inducement and denies any and all liability to the
former CEO. The Company's answer further states as affirmative defenses
that the former CEO's claims are barred by the doctrine of estoppel and
unclean hands and by failure of consideration, fraud, and illegality,
waiver and failure to mitigate. The Company states that the March 31,
1997 addendum was entered into under circumstances of fraud and
illegality and that the former CEO's alleged claims are setoff by the
counterclaims of the Company against him. The Company believes that it
has meritorious and virtuous defenses and anticipates that it will
vigorously and effectively defend against any and all claims by the
former CEO. No provision has been made in the accompanying financial
statements for compensation, benefits and stock bonuses claimed by the
former CEO subsequent to the expiration of his employment contract on
May 10, 1998.
On February 14, 2000, the Company was served with a Complaint filed in
Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, Central Division,
Case No. b C224058 entitled A-1 Business Products, Inc. dba Premium
Financial Services, Inc., a California Corporation vs. ComTec
International, Inc. The Complaint alleges damages of $205,142 with
respect to allegations that the Company failed to pay amounts due to
Plaintiff under assignments of debts related to alleged factoring
agreements. The Company believes that it has meritorious defense and
will vigorously defend against the allegations of the Complaint. The
Company's answer to the complaint is due approximately March 15, 2000.
Due to the very preliminary nature of the proceedings, further
information is not available.
Disposition of LED screens and related equipment:
On December 31, 1998, the Company sold six giant LED screens and
related equipment to Lanstar Computer Products, Inc., a Texas
corporation affiliated with Zephyr. The LED screens were sold to
Lanstar in exchange for a $2,400,000 promissory note secured by the
assets sold and bearing interest of 8% per annum, payable quarterly.
The entire principal is payable at maturity on December 31, 1999. No
determination of recoverability of the promissory note has been
determined.
Pending sale and operating lease agreements:
On December 18, 1998, the Company entered into agreements whereby an
independent third party would acquire the Company's FCC license rights,
customers and agreements, site licenses and/or leases necessary to
operate the Company's seven SMR operating systems through a newly
formed subsidiary. The subsidiary would assume the Company's $1,390,700
promissory notes payable to the FCC, issue to the Company shares of
common stock representing a 7.5% ownership interest and issue a warrant
to purchase 50,000 shares of the common stock of the parent company at
the exercise price of $.50 per share for a period of three years. The
agreement further provided that should the market price in the period
immediately preceding the closing of the transaction be less than $.50
per share, the number of shares will be increased proportionately, but
in no event to exceed 100,000 shares. Effective June 30, 1998, the
carrying value of the license rights were reduced to their sales value
of $1,390,700.
The third party will enter into a system management agreement pursuant
to which they will manage the day to day business operations of the
Company's SMR system subject to the Company's ultimate supervision and
control until such time as the FCC shall approve the assignment of the
licenses. Thereafter, they will assume all responsibility for operation
and control of the system.
