Financial Statements Provided Under Item 7(a)

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants

Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Rare Telephony, Inc. and subsidiaries
Newark, New Jersey

We have audited the accompanying  consolidated  balance sheet of Rare Telephony,
Inc.  and  subsidiaries  as of  June  30,  2000  and  the  related  consolidated
statements of operations,  stockholders'  deficit, and cash flows for the period
from July 1, 1999 (inception) to June 30, 2000.  These financial  statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance   about  whether  the  financial   statements  are  free  of  material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Rare Telephony, Inc.
at June 30, 2000,  and the results of its  operations and its cash flows for the
period  from  July 1,  1999  (inception)  to June 30,  2000 in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been  prepared  assuming that the
Company  will  continue  as a  going  concern.  As  discussed  in  Note 2 to the
financial   statements,   the  Company  has  suffered  significant  losses  from
operations and has a net capital deficiency.  Furthermore,  as discussed in Note
1, the Company was merged into a VDC Communications,  Inc. ("VDC") subsidiary as
of June 30, 2000. The  acquisition  by VDC does not eliminate this  uncertainty.
These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
a going  concern.  Management's  plans  in  regard  to  these  matters  are also
described in Note 2. The  financial  statements  do not include any  adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                                                            /s/ BDO Seidman, LLP

Rare Telephony Inc., and Subsidiaries
Notes to consolidated financial statements

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)      Description of Business and Organization

Rare Telephony,  Inc. (the "Company") was a privately held  corporation  through
June 2000.  The Company  merged with and into a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of VDC
Communications,  Inc. ("VDC") on June 30, 2000. The Company commenced operations
in July 1999. The Company operates through its wholly owned  subsidiaries,  Cash
Back Rebates LD.com.,  a Delaware  corporation and Free dot Calling.com,  Inc, a
Nevada corporation, which is not yet operational. The Company is a pre-paid long
distance  provider that obtains customers  through  telemarketing  sales. In the
future, through Free dot Calling.com, Inc., the Company anticipates offering its
services over the Internet through a proprietary E-commerce platform.

(b)      Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned  subsidiaries.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated.

(c)      Revenue Recognition

Revenues  from retail long distance are  recognized  when services are provided.
Customer prepayments are recorded as unearned revenue until earned.

(d)      Cost of Services

Cost of services  include network costs that consist of access,  transport,  and
termination costs. These costs also include telemarketing salaries, depreciation
and overhead attributable to operations. Such costs are recognized when incurred
in connection with the provision of telecommunications services.

(e)      Accounts Receivable

After  confirming  customer  orders in writing,  the Company waits seven days to
deposit new customer  prepayments.  As such, the Company  records the last seven
days sales in a reporting period as accounts receivable.

(f)      Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the  statement of cash flows,  the Company  considers all liquid
investments  with  an  original  maturity  of  three  months  or less to be cash
equivalents.  The carrying  amount  reported in the  accompanying  balance sheet
approximates fair market value.

<PAGE>

(g)      Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost.  Replacements  and  betterments  are
capitalized. Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations. Depreciation and
amortization  of property and  equipment  are computed  using the  straight-line
method over the following estimated useful lives:

operating equipment        5 years
leasehold improvements     life of lease
furniture and equipment    3-5 years

For income tax  purposes,  depreciation  is computed  using  statutory  recovery
methods.

(h)      Product Development Costs

The Company capitalizes product development costs incurred for the production of
computer  software  used  in the  billing  process  and  other  related  product
development  costs.  Capitalized costs consist of the direct labor involved from
the  point  of  technological   feasibility  until  the  product  was  generally
available. The Company amortizes capitalized costs on a straight line basis over
the  estimated  useful life of the asset,  which is estimated to be three years.
Capitalized product development costs were $307,868 less amortization of $42,760
at June 30, 2000.

(i)      Intangible Assets

Intangible  assets consist of costs of obtaining  telecommunications  tariffs in
various states  throughout  the United  States.  These assets are amortized on a
straight-line basis over a period of 2 years. Intangible assets of $159,818 less
accumulated  amortization  of $73,250 are  included in other  assets at June 30,
2000.

(j)      Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial  statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(k)      Financial Instruments

The  carrying   amount  of  financial   instruments   including  cash  and  cash
equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated fair value at
June 30,  2000  because of the  relatively  short  maturity  of these  financial
instruments.  Management  estimates  that the fair  values of long term debt and
related  party long term debt  approximate  fair value at June 30, 2000 based on
their terms and interest rates.

<PAGE>

(l)      Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company  periodically  reviews the values  assigned  to  long-lived  assets,
including   property  and  equipment  and  intangibles,   to  determine  if  any
impairments  are other than temporary.  Management  believes that the long-lived
assets in the accompanying balance sheet are appropriately valued.

(m)      Concentration of Suppliers of Telecommunications Services

The  Company  purchased  virtually  all its long  distance  services  from Qwest
Communications, Inc.

2.       Going Concern

The Company's auditors have raised the issue that the Company may not be able to
continue as a going  concern as a result of the Company's  lack of profits.  The
Company has used  substantial  amounts of working  capital in its operations and
has  sustained  significant  operating  losses.  As of June  30,  2000,  current
liabilities exceeded current assets by approximately $1.4 million.  Management's
plan is for VDC to continue to fund the  Company's  operations  as it has in the
past.  There can be no  assurances  that VDC will  provide the  working  capital
necessary to sustain operations. In view of these matters,  continued operations
of the Company is dependent upon VDC and/or the success of future  operations to
meet the Company's financing requirements.

3.       Related Party Transactions

On June 14, 2000,  the Company  entered into a loan agreement to pay $100,000 to
Network Consulting Group ("Network") with interest at 8% per annum (the "Note").
The Note will be paid in monthly  installments of $3,134  commencing on December
1, 2000 and continue  thereafter on the first day of each successive month until
November 1, 2003 when the entire  outstanding  principal  balance and any unpaid
interest is due.

During April through June 2000,  VDC loaned the Company a total of $1,100,000 at
8% interest per annum.  The loans are due on June 14, 2004.

Aggregate principal maturities on related party notes payable are as follows:

Network paid the Company $200,000 for consulting  services during the year ended
June 30, 2000. The consulting  services are recorded as revenue in the statement
of operations.  The president of Network was, prior to the merger, a significant
shareholder of the Company.

Shareholder Obligations

Included in property and  equipment  and  additional  paid in capital are assets
contributed  (at  predecessor's  cost) by a  Company  shareholder,  prior to the
merger,  totaling  approximately  $681,000. The assets were financed via capital
leases that are the  obligations  of the  shareholder.  The equipment  serves as
collateral  for the capital  lease  obligations.  The  accumulated  depreciation
attributable to this equipment was $65,892 at June 30, 2000.

4.       Debt

In February 2000, an independent  third party loaned the Company $200,000 at 15%
per  annum.  The loan is due in  monthly  installments  of  $6,933.07  per month
commencing in June 2000 with the final payment due May 2003.

</TABLE>

During the year ended June 30, 2000, the Company wrote off $17,436  attributable
to the abandonment of leasehold improvements at its former location.

6.       Income Taxes

The  Company  accounts  for  income  taxes in  accordance  with  SFAS  No.  109,
"Accounting  for Income Taxes," under which deferred  assets and liabilities are
provided on  differences  between  financial  reporting and taxable income using
enacted  tax rates.  Deferred  income tax  expenses  or credits are based on the
changes in  deferred  income tax assets or  liabilities  from  period to period.

<PAGE>

Under  SFAS No.  109,  deferred  tax  assets  may be  recognized  for  temporary
differences  that will  result  in  deductible  amounts  in  future  periods.  A
valuation allowance is recognized if, on the weight of available evidence, it is
more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not
be realized.

The Company had  deferred  tax assets of  approximately  $1,358,000  at June 30,
2000. The deferred tax assets are primarily attributable to net operating losses
("NOLS") and are subject to annual limitations of approximately  $190,000 due to
the merger with the VDC subsidiary.  A valuation  allowance has been established
for the entire amount of the deferred tax assets.

Deferred income taxes result primarily from the net operating loss carryforwards
which expire through 2019.

Reconciliation  of the Company's actual tax rate to the U.S.  Federal  Statutory
rate for the year ended June 30, 2000 is as follows:

7.       Non-cash compensation

Various employees of the Company  contributed  services at below market rates to
the Company during the year ended June 30, 2000. In exchange for those services,
the  employees  received an ownership  interest in the Company of  approximately
16%. This  ownership  interest has been  recorded as additional  paid in capital
with a corresponding charge to non-cash compensation expense. The value of these
services was estimated based on the relative ownership interests of shareholders
who contributed cash or equipment to those providing services.

            Pro Forma Financial Information Provided Under Item 7 (b)

Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet reflects the effect
of the  acquisition of Rare  Telephony,  Inc.  ("Rare") as of June 30, 2000. The
unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June
30, 2000 combines  historical  statements of operations for VDC  Communications,
Inc. (the "Company") and the acquired  company,  Rare, as if the acquisition had
occurred on July 1, 1999.

The detailed  assumptions  used to prepare the unaudited pro forma  consolidated
financial information are contained herein. The unaudited pro forma consolidated
financial  information reflects the use of the purchase method of accounting for
the acquisition.

The  unaudited  pro forma  financial  information  assumes the  acquisition  was
consummated  through the issuance of  1,551,020  shares of common stock of which
531,222  shares of common  stock are  subject to release  based on certain  Rare
employees   rendering  post  combination   services  and/or  satisfying  certain
contractual criteria. The release of 531,222 shares of common stock, if and when
it occurs,  will be charged to compensation  expense at the fair market value of
the common stock on the date of release. Subject to certain additional terms and
conditions  set  forth in the  applicable  escrow  agreement,  if  certain  Rare
employees  and a consultant  are not  terminated  for cause,  do not resign from
employment  or service and do not breach a material  term of his  employment  or
consulting contract,  180,616,  138,118, and 212,488 shares of common stock will
be released on June 14, 2001, 2002, and 2003, respectively.  1,019,798 shares of
common  stock,  valued at the June 14, 2000 closing  market price of $1.5625 per
share,  were used to determine  the  purchase  price.  The  purchase  price also
includes an  investment  banking fee of 81,633 shares of common stock at $1.5625
per share.  The pro forma weighted  average number of common shares  outstanding
assumes  the  shares  issued  in  connection  with  the  Rare  acquisition  were
outstanding for the entire period.

The  unaudited pro forma data are not  necessarily  indicative of the results of
operations  which would have  actually been  reported had the  transaction  been
consummated at the date mentioned above or which may be reported in the future.
