                           COMC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The interim consolidated financial statements presented have been
         prepared by COMC, Inc. (the "Company") without audit and, in the
         opinion of the management, reflect all adjustments of a normal
         recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of (a) the results of
         operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
         (b) the financial position at June 30, 1999 and (c) the cash flows for
         the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. Interim results are not
         necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

         The consolidated balance sheet presented as of December 31, 1998 has
         been derived from the consolidated financial statements that have been
         audited by the Company's independent public accountants. The
         consolidated financial statements and notes are condensed as permitted
         by Form 10-QSB and do not contain certain information included in the
         annual financial statements and notes of the Company. The consolidated
         financial statements and notes included herein should be read in
         conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the
         Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and the Company's Form 8-K and
         8-KA filed on August 31, 1998 and November 2, 1998 respectively.

         SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         On August 10, 1999, the Company entered in various agreements in
         connection with restructuring the Company's short-term debt due
         officers and entering an employment agreement with a new executive
         officer.  The agreement to restructure Notes payable to officers in the
         amount of $3,500,000 modified the terms to include the extension of the
         maturity date for an additional three-year term at a fixed rate of 10%
         per annum.  Concurrent with this debt restructuring and the employment
         of a new executive officer, the Chairman of the Company entered into an
         agreement to contribute 3,651,948 of his shares of the Company' common
         stock to provide shares under various option agreements.  In connection
         with these agreements, the principal shareholders of the Company and
         the new executive officer entered into a stockholders agreement.

Item 2.  Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

         This report contains certain statements of a forward-looking nature
relating to future performance of the Company. Prospective investors are
cautioned that such statements are only predictions and that actual events or
results may differ materially.

Overview

COMC, Inc. ("COMC" or the "Company") designs, implements, supports and manages
telecommunication and voice equipment, computer network systems, and premise
wiring for healthcare organizations, financial institutions, and the
entertainment sector. The Company's services include the purchase, delivery,
installation and maintenance of voice and data equipment as well as maintenance
contracts and repair work, and client outsourcing services, all through its
wholly owned subsidiary acquired August 1998, ICF Communications Solutions Inc.
("ICF"), representing 100% of the company's revenue. The Company's gross margin
varies significantly depending on the percentage of service revenues versus
revenues from the sale and installation of products (with respect to which the
Company obtains a lower margin). For its major customers, the Company typically
provides these services under contracts with one or more years in duration.

Under an acquisition and consolidation strategy, COMC intends to build its
operations and to expands its presence primarily in the high growth markets of
Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego California; Phoenix, Arizona; Las Vegas
and Reno, Nevada; Dallas and Houston, Texas.

Results of Operations

The Company's revenues were $9,913,032 and $881,615 for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, representing an increase of 1025%. This
increase was due to the purchase of ICF by COMC on August 17, 1998. The increase
in unbilled revenue is also due to the purchase of ICF by COMC. Many projects
can not be billed until the project is 100% completed therefore increasing the
value of unbilled revenue at any time during which these projects exist.

Cost of revenues was $6,857,847 and $486,905 for the six months ended June 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively, representing an increase of 1,308%. This increase
was due to the purchase of ICF. Gross margin decreased to 31 % for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 from 45% for the six months ended June 30, 1998.
ICF's gross margin for the twelve months ended Dec 31, 1998 was 31%.

Operating expenses $2,988,080 and $477,150 for the six months ended June 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively, representing an increase of 526%. This increase was
due to the purchase of ICF.

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $381,899 and $19,461 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. This increase was primarily
due to the amortization of goodwill of $278,096 resulting from the purchase of
ICF. The Company expects that depreciation will continue to increase in dollar
terms as a result of additional investments in capital equipment required to
support the anticipated growth in the Company's business.

Other expense was $192,068 and $13,594 for the six months ended June 30, 1999
and 1998, respectively, representing an increase of 1,313%. This increase was
primarily due to increased interest expense related to notes payable to the
selling stockholders of ICF.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $886,114 at June 30, 1999. For the six
months ended June 30, 1999, cash used in operating activities was $8,058.

For the six months ended June 30, 1999, cash used in investing activities was
$57,933, as a result of purchases of equipment of $34,642 and deposits and other
assets of $18,291 and officer loan of $5,000.

The Company has a $250,000 term loan agreement with a bank, principal payable in
a monthly installment of $4,167 and interest at the bank's prime rate plus 2.5%.
The note matures on April 15, 2001 and has an outstanding balance of $101,988 as
of June 30, 1999. The Company has a revolving credit agreement available for
$300,000 with the same bank. Interest is at the bank's prime rate plus 2.5% and
as of June 30, 1999 the outstanding balance was $303,853.

At June 30, 1999, the Company had working capital deficiency of $1,151,615. This
includes $705,418 of income taxes payable. The income tax payable is the result
of a change in accounting policy from cash to accrual based accounting at ICF.
In January of 1999, the IRS approved the Company's request to pay in
installments requiring monthly payments of $100,000 plus interest and penalties
until the total amount is paid in full. The Company has not entered into any
negotiations with the State of California. The current liabilities also include
$3,500,000 in notes payable to stockholders, who are former stockholders of ICF.
The Company is under current negotiations to restructure the terms and
conditions of all notes currently in default and outstanding. The Company has
reached a preliminary understanding with the holders of these notes to extend
the term of the notes into a three-year note payable in lump sum amount at the
end of the third year. Interest accruing at 10% per annum will be payable
monthly.

The Company intends to recapitalize its balance sheet and shift some of the
current liabilities to long term obligations. The Company is currently in
discussions with a financial institution to secure up to $5 million in senior
debt financing ("Senior Debt Facility"). It is contemplated that the Senior Debt
Facility will be secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and
will contain customary covenants and restrictions. The Company intends to use
the Senior Debt Facility for: i) the balance of income tax payable due the
Internal Revenue Service; and ii) working capital purposes including additional
acquisition financing. There can be no assurance that the Company can secure
this Senior Debt Facility.

Despite the deficiency in working capital, the Company believes that its current
cash flow from operations plus its present sources of liquidity from current
assets will be sufficient to finance operations for the foreseeable future and
meet its short-term obligations.

The Company intends to continue its search for additional merger and acquisition
candidates that will expand its existing markets in related products and
services. COMC has depended on a few large customers for the majority of its
revenue to date. A loss of any one could have a material effect on the Company's
liquidity. Due to the quality of the Company's major customers, the
collectibility of accounts receivable has not been a problem.

Year 2000 Compliance

         The Company has reviewed its computer systems to identify those areas
that could be adversely affected by Year 2000 software failures. The Company
uses a number of computer software programs and operating systems in its
operations, including in financial business systems, marketing and various other
administrative functions. To the extent that these software applications contain
source code that is unable to appropriately interpret the upcoming year 2000,
some level of modification or possibly replacement of such applications may be
necessary.

<PAGE>

         The Company has converted almost all of its information systems to be
Year 2000 compliant. To date, the Company has incurred approximately $140,000
and it believes that approximately $8,500 will be incurred during the fiscal
year 1999 to complete the information system conversions. Although the Company
expects, based on currently available information, that any additional
expenditures that may be required in connection with Year 2000 conversions will
not be material, there can be no assurance in this regard. The Company believes
that certain of its customers may be impacted by the Year 2000 problem, which
could in turn affect the Company. Currently, the Company cannot predict the
effect of the Year 2000 problem on entities with which it transacts business and
there can be no assurance it will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company will be formulating a contingency plan to address the possible
effects of any of its customers experiencing Year 2000 problems.
