GOVERNMENT REGULATION
----------------------
The Company originally intended to provide telecommunications services
subject to the rules and regulation of both state and federal regulatory
agencies. Interstate telecommunications services are governed by the rules and
regulations of the FCC, while intrastate telecommunications services (or
services provided within a state's geographic boundaries) are governed by the
particular state regulatory authorities having jurisdiction within that
state. During the last quarter of 1995 and the first three quarters of 1996,
the Company applied for and received authority to act as a Carrier for domestic
and international telecommunications.
SPECIFIC LICENSING REQUIREMENTS
---------------------------------
The terms and conditions of the Company's telecommunications services are
subject to government regulation. Federal laws and FCC regulations generally
apply to interstate telecommunications, while intrastate services are regulated
by the relevant state authorities. Federal Regulation. The Company was
classified by the FCC as a non-dominant carrier, and therefore is subject to
minimal federal regulation. Since executing a carrier agreement with
WorldXchange Inc. the company no longer needs to comply with regulations of any
state or regulatory body. The company is on a profit sharing arrangement only
with its carrier partner.
COMPETITION
-----------
The telecommunications industry is characterized by strong competition from
companies of all sizes and capacities for technological and marketing
innovation. As such, the Company acquired subsidiaries and made strategic
alliances with partners who have products and services in the e-commerce field,
possess innovative patents and patents pending and who have a world-wide
consumer base.
<PAGE>
The company has identified the English speaking countries in the Pacific Rim who
have a combined population of around 400 million people and are under-serviced
by the major telecommunications and e-commerce companies. These countries, are
called the BIMP-EAGA countries, consists of Brunei, Indonesia, Philippines,
Malaysia and Australia. These areas experience significantly higher calling
costs and are in the midst of a technological revolution. The Company, intends
to offer the public a unique combination of communications based services.
This strategy should allow BentleyTel.com to provide low-cost
telecommunications, e-commerce Business-to-Business, and direct consumer
products to BIMP-EAGA Pacific Rim region.
KEY PERSONNEL.
---------------
The Company is dependent upon the skills of its new management team. Every
subsidiary has an experienced team of executives with many years in their
respective industries. The key members are Presidents or Executive Vice
presidents of the various subsidiaries. As such the key members have either
formed or built-up the business or are long time senior employees with stock in
the Company and therefore should demonstrate loyalty in building up and
expanding the infrastructure and Telecom industry in their country. The Company
will buy key-man life insurance for senior management and key employees of the
Company. See "Business - the Company's Management Team" and "Management."
LIMITED MARKET FOR STOCK
---------------------------
The market price for the common stock has grown recently and may continue
to be volatile depending on a number of factors, including new business
development, industry dynamics, news announcements, significant international
revenue, commencement of housing construction and changes or improvements in the
general economy and the roll out of new E-commerce products and enhanced
services. The stock may continue to exhibit volatility and no assurance can be
given that the price per share will continue to increase.
DISCLOSURE RELATING TO LOW-PRICED STOCK
-------------------------------------------
The Company's common stock is currently listed for trading in the over-
the-counter market on the NASD Electronic Bulletin board which is generally
considered to be a less efficient market than markets such as NASDAQ, AMEX or
other national exchanges. The Company's securities are subject to the "penny
stock rules" adopted pursuant to Section 15 (g) of the Exchange Act. The penny
stock rules apply to non-NASDAQ companies whose common stock trades at less
than $5.00 per share or which have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000
($2,000,000 if the Company has been operating for three or more years). Such
rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade "penny stock" to
persons other than "established customers" complete certain documentation,
make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain
information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure
document and quote information under certain circumstances. In addition, NASDAQ
has announced its intentions to make its trading rules for "penny stocks" even
more stringent. Many brokers have decided not to trade "penny stock" because
of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of
broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited
and may decline further due to the pending additional NASDAQ rules.
The new management's strategy is to re-list on the NASDAQ or another major
exchange. Subsequent to the close of the 1999 financial year the company began
to realize the effects of its acquisitions and due to a rise of over 2000% in
its stock, the Board of Directors decided not to reverse split its stock in
order to qualify in this area. The Company believes its future earnings and
new business opportunities have added significant shareholder value to the
stock.

PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
HISTORY OF THE COMPANY
-------------------------
The Company was incorporated in Florida on December 31, 1984, under the
name Phoenix Hi-Tech, Inc. The Company completed an initial public offering of
its equity securities on May 23, 1986. On October 22, 1994, the Company changed
its name to Global TeleMedia International, Inc. In September 1997, the
Company's shareholders approved the reincorporating of the Company in Delaware.
In September, 1993, the Company acquired all of the equity securities of
Global Wats One, Inc. and TeleFriend, Inc. (both collectively, "Global") of
which Roderick A. McClain, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and its
Chairman of the Board of Directors and Geoffrey F. McClain, a director of the
Company, were the principal shareholders. Roderick and Geoffrey McClain are
brothers. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."
In October, 1994, the Company licensed certain assets of the nutritional
division of the Company (its former business) and sold the Company's nutritional
marketing Company, Market-share International, a wholly-owned subsidiary to L&M
Group, L.C. ("L&M"), an unaffiliated third party. On January 31, 1995, the
Company entered into a sales and license agreement with L&M pursuant to which
L&M acquired the rights to the Company's nutritional product line for royalties
from sales of the nutritional products based on a percentage of gross sales. In
1998, the Company received no royalties; in 1997, the Company received a total
of approximately $35,000 in royalties, compared to a total of approximately
$115,000 in royalties, including certain guaranteed minimum amounts, received in
1996. In the first quarter of 1998, the Company entered into an agreement under
which an unaffiliated third party acquired all of the Company's interest in the
nutritional products. Since the culmination of these transactions, the Company
has devoted all of its resources to its telecommunications business.
The Company also funded seed money for UltraPulse Communications for the
development of "Broadband Spread Spectrum" wireless technology. On December 17,
1998, the principals of CyberAir Communications Inc., introduced the Company to
the principals of Bentley House Furniture Company Inc. (BHFC). BHFC entered
into a share exchange dialogue with the Company predicated on the contractual
agreement with CyberAir to act as its primary marketing arm (see 10QSB 9-30-98
and 10KSB 15/4/99) and a pending agreement to acquire UltraPulse Communications
Inc., which had developed a broadband Spread spectrum technology. The Company
had invested development capital in both CyberAir and UltraPulse to secure these
agreements.
On April 2, 1999, the GTMI, Inc. acquired Bentley House Furniture
Company,Inc. a Philippine Corporation (BHFC). The merger was accounted for as a
reverse acquisition whereby BHFC was treated as the accounting acquirer and
GTMI as the accounting acquiree. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the historical results of BHFC and the consolidated results
of GTMI as of the date of merger
BHFC allows the Company to have a manufacturing base, whereby furniture and
wood products can be manufactured for the housing and resort industries.
Management's plans are to reinvest any profits from this line of business into
the telecommunications arena.
THE BUSINESS PLAN
-------------------
The Company's prior Business Plan (the "Business Plan") for a nationwide
telecommunications business failed due to problems associated with its
switching platform and the lack of sufficient capital to implement the
Business Plan. The Business Plan required the Company to direct marketing and
sales efforts to its Carrier Services Businesses. Compliance with the Business
Plan required the Company to obtain significant financing, which the Company was
unable to procure on favorable terms. Due to insufficient resources and an
untenable operation plan, management has since abandoned the Business Plan.
Under New Management the Company expended considerable effort in the
investigation of new technologies that would afford the Company an advantage in
the marketplace. Management believes that these new technologies will play an
important part in achieving and retaining market share. Accordingly, management
has formulated a Business Plan (the "Plan") that incorporates both new
technology and the manufacturing base of BHFC.
In building upon BHFC's manufacturing base, the Company can profit from
existing BHFC contracts. BHFC has completed a contract to manufacture furniture
and furnishings for the Karamunsing Hotel in the resort city of KotaKinabalu,
Malaysia. In addition, BHFC is provisionally awarded a contract to build the
EcoTech Hotel in Sydney, Australia.The contract for the EchoTech Hotel project
is delayed due to current Olympic games 2000 construction, but the Company
expects to start the contract in the 3rd quarter of 2000.
The Plan also incorporates BHFC's 25-year contract to construct one million
government employee houses. A Canadian/Philippine "AAA" rated Rapid-Built
Modular housing builder will use a patented computer designed technology to
construct the houses. As part of the Plan, the Company has signed a thirty-one
million dollar contract with Integrated Philcan, Inc., a subsidiary of HRS Steel
in Canada. Integrated Philcan has opened offices in Makati, Philippines and has
confirmed that the Canadian Government through CIDA as approved $288,000 for
initial training of the assembly workers. Construction should commence in
second quarter 2000. The contract is fully guaranteed by the Philippine
National Housing Authority and calls for the Company to be the Exclusive
provider of local and long distance telephone, cable TV and Internet services to
the newly constructed one million government homes.
BHFC is located in the "Free Trade Zone" in Mindanao's largest city,
Davao, which is part of the BIMP-EAGA (AFTA, Asian Free Trade Agreement) between
Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Australia. Similar to the
NAFTA, BIMP-EAGA is located in the Pacific Rim serves a combined population of
over 400 million mostly English speaking people.
<PAGE>
The BHFC factory is believed by management to be one of the largest and
most modern furniture factories in the Philippines. BHFC equipment includes
BACCI Italian shaping machines, high frequency microwave wood bending machines,
Italian automated heated spray booths and other specialized machinery. The
BHFC factory has a certified output capacity of 10,000 finished pieces per
month. BHFC utilizes mahogany, teak and other hardwood timber from
plantations controlled by BHFC to supply hotels and resorts under construction
with timber and interior furniture.
GTMI has entered into a contract with re-known architect Paul Thoryk under which
GTMI through its subsidiary BHFC will create an exclusive line of
furniture for hotels and exclusive residences which Thoryk is designing. Thoryk
has contracted to deliver $75 million in revenues over a 7 year period. In
exchange for the contracts, Thoryk will receive 5% of the shareholding in GTMI,
his shareholding will be earned proportionate to the contracts he delivers. BHFC
has already commenced manufacturing samples for hotels. GTMI will also bid to
supply communications and services to the same hotels that BHFC outfits.
The construction of housing and the exclusive supply of telephone, cable
and Internet services to newly constructed homes, links the core-manufacturing
platform of BHFC with the technology available from GTMI. The income
stream from these existing businesses is expected to generate profits, which
will be re-invested in the telecom arena, reducing the need for further
outside financing.
As provided by the Agreement, 100% of BHFC stock was delivered into escrow
on March 20, 1999. Shares of GTMI stock were to be exchanged for the BHFC stock
pending the occurrence of certain conditions precedent, including the filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the Company's 1998 Annual Report
on Form 10-KSB and its Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. Since
then, new management has followed its debt restructuring schedule and reduced
the Company's debt by resolving a significant number of the disputes. The
Company anticipates resolution of the remaining disputes by the end of year
2000.
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
----------------------
New management, having spent considerable funds and effort in the
investigation of new technologies, concluded that the future of the Company lies
in e-commerce web-hosted products, e-music, unified messaging and other enhanced
web-based services. Management is developing a proprietary Smart-e-Card that
will give corporate clients and consumers direct access to enhanced
technological services and provide the Company with a strategic advantage in the
marketplace.
Management believes that these new technologies will play an important
role in achieving and retaining market share. The Company's new management
has decided that it will review available wireless technologies carefully.
Prior management had invested exploratory funds in new technology concerning
wireless research. However, due to insufficient funds to continue investment in
exploratory research, current management is re-evaluating committed funds
required to become a "Carrier's Carrier." Instead, current management considers
owning software patents, proprietary SmartCard products and e-commerce products
with strategic alliances with web design and unified messaging companies would
bring the Company significant recurring revenues and global market share in the
near-term.
On April 2, 1999, the Company, via a share exchange, and pending the
occurrence of certain conditions precedent, acquired 100% of BHFC in
exchange for 29,595,139 common shares of GTMI and 4,000 shares of Series "A"
GTMI Preferred Shares (Series "A" Preferred Shares are convertible at 208,274
shares of GTMI common stock per each preferred share).
To clearly identify, create and fund the distinct revenue streams and
cultivate specialized management on the telecom side, the Company acquired the
majority interest in a Nevada corporation named BentleyTel.com, Inc.
BentleyTel.com, holds proprietary software products and enhanced services, which
will be deployed in the Pacific Rim, Europe, China, Japan and North America.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
--------------------------
<PAGE>
Although the Company was formed in 1984, it had many of the
characteristics of a development stage Company. Since the acquisition of Bentley
House Furniture Company, change of management, and the acquisition of
BentleyTel.com and subsequent international Company acquisitions, all of
which own their proprietary equipment, the Company has become an asset
based manufacturing, construction and Telecommunications Corporation.
Since the reverse merger the new management has reduced the Company's
liabilities by over $4 million, has infused almost $2 million for hardware,
software development and marketing and operating costs and continues to resolve
the remainder of the Company's prior litigation by cash settlement, bank
instrument or part cash and stock on conditions favorable to the Company.
The previous management failed to remit payroll withholding taxes,
which resulted in the Company's liability of more than $600,000 to the
Internal Revenue Service. New management has remitted a cash payment of
$300,000 and is engaged in 22 month workout program with the IRS regarding
the balance.
The new management will engage in the recovery of the Company's assets
and is committed to capitalizing on any previous arrangements for technology
which have not yet been utilized. The implementation of new management's
business plan and development program will result ultimately, in the attainment
of profitable operations. The Company expects to obtain adequate financing from
both infusion by directors and traditional equity and debt instruments to
fulfill its capital requirements . The Company expects to achieve a level of
international sales adequate to support the Company's international
expansion.
Management's mission is to develop and maintain a market share in an
industry characterized by explosive growth. The Company's ability to
operate as a national and international software supplier and developer is
enhanced by the recent acquisitions and strategic alliances. The Company expects
to release its e-commerce products and services by the 3rd quarter of the year
2000.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Report, including the disclosures below, contains certain forward-looking
statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. When used herein,
the terms "anticipates," "expects," "estimates," "believes" and similar
expressions, as they relate to the Company or its management, are intended to
identify such forward-looking statements. The Company's actual results,
performance or achievements may differ materially from those expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or
contribute to such material differences include the factors disclosed in the
"Risk Factors" section of this Report, which readers of this Report should
consider carefully.
OVERVIEW OF PRESENTATION.
---------------------------
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the Selected Consolidated Financial Data and the Consolidated Financial
Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere herein.
On April 2, 1999, Global TeleMedia International, Inc. acquired Bentley House
Furniture Company ,Inc. a Philippine Corporation. (BHFC). The merger was
accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby the BHFC was treated as the
accounting acquirer and GTMI as the accounting acquiree. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements include the historical results of BHFC and the
consolidated results of GTMI as of the date of merger. Simultaneously with the
closing of the acquisition agreement, an Escrow Agreement was created then
amended on July 1, 1999, so that 3,878 shares of the 4,000 shares originally
issued of GTMI Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 200,000 of BHFC's common
stock would be placed in escrow for a period of one year from July 1999.
All of the Company's businesses were substantially new in 1997 and as a
result significant losses were incurred as the Company attempted to pursue a
multifaceted business plan. Due to capital constraints and other circumstances,
the Company has refocused its efforts and streamlined its operations. The
Carrier Sales Business was started in January, 1998, however these operations
were on hold, pending the Companies ability to resolve certain litigation and
enter into separate carrier service agreements.
FINANCES AND RESTRUCTURING
----------------------------
Since the share exchange with BHFC, the Company has been successful at
obtaining capital through fully paid private placements in the amount of
$485,400 for the subscription of 3,491,943 shares. The Company's President/CEO
and Vice President surrendered 7,210,666 shares and the Company received
$5,765,000 to meet the Company's financial needs.
Subsequent to the end of 1999 the company was successful in executing a $10
million equity investment agreement based on shares owned by the Major
Shareholders. The major shareholders Jonathon Bentley-Stevens and Regina S.
Peralta agreed to assist the company by offering their own shares to the equity
partner, the shareholders will receive preferred stock after the shareholders
meeting scheduled for around July 20th and have agreed to immediately retire the
newly issued shares so as not to further dilute the existing shareholders.
The Company has approved a term sheet in New York with The Malachi Group
(NASD & NYSE) for the placement of a 2 year $5 million convertible debenture at
US$10.00 per share. This debenture is redeemable by the Company at 115%. The
company is pursuing this option which is made more attractive as subsequent to
the end of the 1999 year the company's shares rose to a height of $3-$4.00
As part of the restructuring, the Company acquired a Nevada corporation called
BentleyTel.com, Inc. A BentleyTel Board Meeting was held in the first quarter
of 2000 to examine the viability of exercising its option of investing an
initial $10 million to develop the 1997 patent of Ultra Pulse. The agreement
also includes the allocation of additional shares to UCI, which will further
dilute the existing shareholders. There can be no estimate as to the eventual
amount required to develop the Ultra Pulse technology. The decision was
referred to the shareholders meeting.
The Company owns a 55% majority of the shares of BentleyTel.com, and additional
BentleyTel.com shares were allocated for 100% of the shares of Octa4 Pty. Ltd.
3G Communications Inc. and DynaSem Communications Sdn. Bhd. Octa4 is a major
ISP in Australia providing VPN (Virtual Private Networks) E-Commerce, and
e-commerce solutions, and soon VoIP voice over the Internet, DynaSem is a
Computer sales and IT training company and 3G communications owns and operates
56 satellite tele-centers offering long distance and international long distance
calling.
BentleyTel.com planned to release its national and international phone
cards in 4th quarter 1999. The company decided to delay the release of a phone
card until its development of a multi-purpose debit/ATM/Phonecard/E-commerce
card platform was finalized. In the subsequent period the Company decided to
implement international long distance 0+ calling services from its 56
tele-centers and Kiosks. The company is now finalizing agreements with data
processing companies as a final step to the launch of its international
proprietary Smart-e-Card, which should be available to the public by mid 2000.
The Company has resolved a significant amount of its litigation and hopes
to able to resolve the remaining disputes within 180 days. The Company did
generate revenue in the fourth quarter of 1999 and had a significant increase in
revenue in the first quarter 2000 as compared to the same quarter last year.
The Company intends to continue to build its revenue streams in future years.
The strategy of the Company was to develop a strategic alliance with various
technology companies through strategic alliances, mergers or acquisitions.
Acquisitions were made of companies possessing substantial market share in their
industries and technological advantages.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE.
-----------------------
The Company's administrative operations have been reviewed for Year 2000
Compliance. All divisions of the Company are Year 2000 compliant. Some
remaining operations, such as non-essential personal computers and non-financial
software products, have been upgraded at nominal cost.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31 1999 AND 1998.
On April 2, 1999, Global Telemedia International, Inc. acquired Bentley House
Furniture Company ,Inc. a Philippine Corporation. (BHFC). The merger was
accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby the BHFC was treated as the
accounting acquirer and GTMI as the accounting acquiree. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements include the historical results of BHFC and the
consolidated results of GTMI as of the date of merger.
The following discussion reflects the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.
Because of material changes to the Company and new management these past results
are not indicative of future performance.
The Company's revenues increase from $104,700 in 1998 to approximately
$594,021. This increase in revenues was primarily derived from
telecommunication and internet related operation in Australia and the Pacific
Rim.
During 1999, as compared with 1998, the cost of services sold increased
from approximately $31,000 to $91,000, and the Company's gross profit increased
from $479,290 to approximately $3,688,000. The increase in gross profit was due
primarily as result of the reverse acquisition, acquisition of telecommunication
subsidiaries that make up BTC and as a result of the Company's emphasis in
developing business opportunities in e-commerce, web-hosted products, unified
messaging and other enhanced web based services.
General and administrative expenses increased to $4,191,283 in 1999 as
compared to $552,803 in 1998. The increase during 1999 was primarily the result
of the reverse merger, the amortization of acquired goodwill, the suspension of
operations of the Company's Vision 21, Inc., as well as the suspension of the
initial phase of the Company's 1998 enhanced services platform, and as a result
of the Company's emphasis in developing business opportunities in e-commerce,
web-hosted products, unified messaging and other enhanced web based services
The Company incurred additional legal and professional fees of approximately
$815,000 during 1999. These were mostly due to resolutions of previous
managements debts and legal cost associated with mergers and acquisitions.
Interest expense for 1999 was approximately $133,000 as compared to $0 for
1998. This increase relates directly to interest paid on debt financing and
write-offs of prepaid debt financing costs obtained during 1999 and 1998. As a
result of the Company's cumulative operating losses, the Company has not paid
income tax since inception. In addition, the Company is approximately five
quarters behind on federal and state payroll taxes, however, $300,000 has been
paid towards unpaid withholding taxes. The Company has negotiated with IRS for
a 22 months progressive payment of the balance of approximately $300,000. As of
December 31, 1999, the Company had net operating loss carry forward totaling
approximately $42 million.
Utilization of the Company's net operating loss may be subject to limitation
under certain circumstances and accordingly the Company has elected to fully
reserve against these deferred tax assets.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.
-----------------------------------
BHFC maintains contracts, including joint venture contracts for the construction
of Philippine government employees' homes. The contracts have been executed on
behalf of the Philippine National Police, the Armed Forces of the Philippines,
the Department of Interior of the Philippines and several local Philippine
government arms. Subdivisions are presently delineated and nearly all necessary
permits needed to commence construction are secured. BHFC had anticipated
construction to begin during the 4th quarter of 1999, but due to insufficient
funds, construction has been delayed. BHFC expects sufficient funds in the near
future to support site development in preparation for construction pursuant to
the contracts.
The Company has historically financed its operations principally through
the sale of equity and debt securities and through funds provided by operating
activities.
As of December 31, 1999, the Company had total liabilities including
accrued interest, notes payable, current accounts payable and accrued but unpaid
expense approximating $31.6 million the substantial increase was due to
acquisitions it telecom subsidiaries and as a result of the reverse merger.
The Company's total assets have been increased to approximately $46.7
million as at 12/31/1999 as compared to $6.7 million last year. The increase in
total assets is a result of the business combinations completed in 1999, which
includes the BHFC-GTMI reverse acquisition and the BTC acquisition. The
business combinations increased the Company's tangible assets by about $800,000
and goodwill by $38.7 million. Company policy dictates that it receives a
letter of credit from all contracts undertaken by the construction divisions.

(1) The SEC initiated a civil action against Mr. Bentley-Stevens for an
alleged 1996 violations of 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("the
Act"). Mr. Bentley-Stevens had been a 1% shareholder and outside director of a
Nevada corporation, Global Timber Corporation ("Global Timber"). In December,
1995, January, 1996 and November, 1996, Global Timber filed disclosure documents
with the SEC pursuant to Rule 15c2-11 of the SEC and also filed a Form 10
Registration Statement in March 1996. In each of these documents, Global Timber
announced the acquisition of certain timber rights in the Philippines. The SEC
claims that these statements were false and/or misleading since as of the date
of the disclosure documents Global Timber had not obtained approval from the
Philippine government to actually harvest the timber. Mr. Bentley-Stevens is
vigorously opposing the SEC's claims on the grounds that nothing in the
disclosure documents claims that Global Timber had a right to harvest timber
and he was not in the USA and played no role in the drafting of the documents
nor did he review them before they were filed. Global Timber is in no way
affiliated with GTMI or any of its subsidiaries. No findings, orders, decrees
or judgments have been made in this matter, although the SEC has indicated that
it might examine GTMI's public statements.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
In 1997, the Company entered into a revised and restated employment
agreement with Roderick A. McClain, then Chief Executive Officer of the Company,
which provided for (a) a term of the employment of ten years from the effective
date, which term is automatically extended by one month at the end of each
month; (b) a base salary of $125,000 annually, increased by ten percent each
year; (c) a performance bonus equal to 7.5% of the net income before taxes of
the Company for any year, (d) a revenue bonus equal to 10,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock for each increment of $250,000 by which the Company's
gross monthly revenues exceed those of the prior month, starting from a base of
$450,000; (e) 1,000 shares of a class of convertible preferred stock to be
authorized by the Company, subject to terms of such class of preferred stock as
are agreed to by the parties hereto; (f) any other bonus, supplemental or
incentive compensation as may be approved by the Board of Directors; (g)
nonqualified options to acquire up to 1,600,000 shares of the Company's Common

reorganization merger or consolidation; or (iii) a liquidation or dissolution of
the Company or of the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets.

Shareholders"). Additionally, 4,000 Series A Convertible Preferred Shares were
issued to the Principal Shareholders to compensate them for the assumption of

of the Company's debt. On June 15, 1999, Mr. McClain waived the change of
control provision in Section 4 of his employment contract.

dated October 1, 1995, and amended February 1, 1996. Pursuant to the employment

Perman's employment with the Company was terminated pursuant to the acquisition
of Bentley House Furniture Company, and the Company considers it has no further
obligation to Mr. Perman.
The Company entered into an employment agreement with Geoffrey F. McClain,
dated May 25, 1995, amended February 1, 1996, and amended February 1, 1997.

TERMINATION OF CERTAIN EMPLOYMENT AND STOCK OPTION RIGHTS
On June 15, 1999, the Company agreed to modify the existing employment
agreements of Roderick A. McClain, Herbert S. Perman, Geoffrey F. McClain, and
Paul C. Graham. The employment agreements were modified as follows.
Roderick A. McClain waived the "Change in Control" provision in Section 4
of his employment agreement with respect to transactions contemplated by the
March 18, 1999 Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company and Bentley House
Furniture Company, Inc. In addition, Mr. McClain's annual base compensation
increased to $170,000, subject to a 10% annual increase in accordance with
Section 4.1(1) of the employment agreement. Mr. McClain waived the bonus
compensation provisions of Section 4.2(2) and 4.3 of his employment agreement,
and further waived a club membership allowance set forth in Section 4.1(6)(b) of
his employment agreement.
Herbert S. Perman agreed to waive the bonus compensation provisions of
Section 2.4 of his employment agreement. In addition, the Company and Mr.
Perman agreed that the choice of law and forum provisions of Section 6.6 of his
employment agreement would be changed from Atlanta, Georgia to Los Angeles,
California.
Geoffrey F. McClain agreed to waive the bonus compensation provisions of
Section 2.4 of his employment agreement, but retained the commission
compensation provisions of Section 2.1 of the same agreement. In addition, the
Company and Mr. McClain agreed that the choice of law and forum provisions of
Section 7.6 of his employment agreement would be changed from Atlanta, Georgia
to Los Angeles, California.
Paul C. Graham and the Company changed the choice of law and forum
provisions of Section 7.6 of Mr. Graham's employment agreement from Atlanta,
Georgia to Los Angeles, California.
On August 12, 1999, following the June 15, 1999 modifications, the Company
terminated the employment of Roderick A. McClain, Herbert S. Perman, and
Geoffrey F. McClain. Pursuant to the 1996 Company Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan"), unexercised stock options provided for in the employment agreements at
issue were canceled.
In some instances, the circumstances governing the right to exercise stock
options specified in the employment agreements conflict with the circumstances
under which such options may be exercised in connection with the Plan. Given
the conflict, the Company relied upon the Plan to justify cancellation of
certain purported stock option rights. In the event of certain terminations,
the Plan permits a party to exercise stock option rights within thirty (30) days
after the date of termination. The Company terminated the parties' employment
rights and benefits on August 12, 1999. The right to exercise stock options
pursuant to the employment agreements and the Plan expired on September 12,
1999. No party exercised stock options within the specified period.
<PAGE>
On March 3, 1998, the Company granted to each of Roderick A. McClain,
Herbert S. Perman, and Geoffrey F. McClain options to purchase up to 350,000
shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, in
consideration of bona fide services rendered. Such services were not in
connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction
or services otherwise excluded from being the subject of a Registration
Statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The option
contracts expressly provided an expiration date of December 31, 1999, and
prevented either party from canceling the option rights, even if the Company
terminated the employee party for cause.
By December 31, 1999, the options granted to each of Roderick A. McClain,
Herbert S. Perman and Geoffrey F. McClain expired.

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
-------------------------------------------------------------
BentleyTel.com ("BentleyTel"), a subsidiary of GTMI, was incorporated in
Nevada on September 30, 1999. It was organized by Jonathan Bentley-Stevens and
Regina Peralta for the purpose of centralizing all of the Company's
telecommunications, electronics and internet activities in the United States and
other jurisdictions. The Board of Directors consists of Mr. Bentley-Stevens,
Ms. Peralta, Mr. David Tang, Felino Molina , Socrates Palabyab, Dr. Morni
Kambri and Terry Lillis. Mr. Bentley-Stevens is the Chief Executive Officer,
Ms. Peralta is the Executive Vice President and Mr. Tang is the Chief Financial
Officer and John Walsh is the Chief Operating Officer.
On October 11, 1999, as provided by the Agreement, 97 shares of series "A"
preferred shares was delivered into escrow on 11/10/99. The 97 shares of
Convertible Series "A" preferred shares were surrendered to the Company by
Jonathon Bentley-Stevens so that the acquisition of BentleyTel would not further
dilute GTMI shareholders. The Company then issued 97 shares of GTMI Series "A"
preferred shares which were to be exchanged for 20, 202, 578 common shares of
Bentleytel.com stock pending the occurrence of certain conditions precedent,
including the resolution
<PAGE>
of the major debts of GTMI consistent with the original GTMI/BHFC share exchange
and escrow agreement. In connection with the share exchange, Mr. Bentley-Stevens
and Ms. Peralta received no consideration or compensation of any kind. The
transaction has been approved by the Boards of Directors of the Company and the
Board of Directors of BentleyTel.

McClain totaled $226,386 Effective December 31, 1997, Roderick A. McClain
executed a demand promissory note, bearing interest at eight percent per annum
for such amount. During 1998, the Company accrued interest increasing the
amount to $244,497. As of December 31, 1999 the entire amount was reserved.
The Company believes that the above-described transactions are as fair to
the Company as could have been made with unaffiliated parties. The Company
requires that transactions between the Company and its officers, directors,
employees or stockholders or persons or entities affiliated with officers,
directors, employees or stockholders be on terms no less favorable to the
Company than it could reasonably obtain in arms-length transactions with
independent third parties. Such transactions were approved by a majority of the
disinterested directors of the Company.

To the Board of Directors
Global Telemedia International, Inc.
Newport Beach, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Global Telemedia

1999 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
income (loss), changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then
ended. 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 audit. The financial statements
of Global Telemedia International, Inc. as of December 31, 1998 were audited by
other auditors whose report dated September 13, 1999 expressed an unqualified
opinion.
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 consolidated financial statements are free of
material misstatement. 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 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 Global Telemedia
International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
---------------------------------------
Global Telemedia International, Inc. (The Company) (GTMI) was incorporated in
Delaware in November 8, 1996 and has been engaged in the marketing of long
distance telephone and related services to individuals, businesses and other
customers throughout the United States.
On April 2, 1999, the GTMI, Inc. acquired Bentley House Furniture Company, Inc.
a Philippine Corporation (BHFC). The merger was accounted for as a reverse
acquisition whereby BHFC was treated as the accounting acquirer and GTMI as the
accounting acquiree. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include
the historical results of BHFC and the consolidated results of GTMI as of the
date of merger (Note 3).
BHFC allows the Company to have a manufacturing base, whereby furniture and wood
products can be manufactured for the housing and resort industries. Management's
plans are to reinvest any profits from this line of business into the
telecommunications arena.
In October 1999, GTMI acquired 55.1% of BentleyTel.com, Inc. (BTC), a Nevada
Corporation. Through this acquisition, the Company now has operations in the
United States, the Philippines, Australia, and Malaysia through BTC's wholly
owned subsidiaries (Note 3).
The operations of BTC include internet services, e-commerce, telecommunications,
and computer sales and training. The Company, through BTC is currently
developing and co-developing certain telecommunication and e-commerce products
which the Company expects to bring to the market as soon as possible.
Through these acquisitions, the Company's business focus is to raise additional
capital to develop business opportunities in telecommunications, agriculture,
mining, timber import and export, and furniture manufacturing in the United
States, Asia and Australia.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
----------------------------------------------
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
-----------------------------
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its majority owned subsidiaries that are located in the United States,
Australia, the Philippines and Malaysia. Significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. Minority interest
represents the minority shareholders' proportionate share of their equity or
income (loss) of the Company's majority-owned subsidiary, BentleyTel.com, Inc.

AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
----------------------------------------------
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
------------------------
Property and equipment are recorded at cost, and depreciated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is 5
years. Maintenance and minor replacements are charged to expense as incurred.
Gains and losses on disposal of assets are included in the results of
operations.
GOODWILL
--------
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair
values of tangible and intangible assets acquired from the reverse acquisition
of the BHFC and the acquisition of its foreign operating subsidiaries through
the Company's 55% holding in BentleyTel.com, Inc. Goodwill is amortized on a
straight-line basis over 20 years. The carrying amount of goodwill is
periodically reviewed using estimated undiscounted net cash flows of the
business acquired over the remaining amortization period. Management believes
that there has been no impairment of the goodwill recorded in the Company's
consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 1999. Total amortization
expense for the year ended December 31,1999 was $1,260,509.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
--------------------
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized upon the delivery of goods to
customers.
Revenue from the rendering of service is recognized upon the delivery of the
services to the customers.
Revenue from the provision of internet services over a specific period of time
is recognized on an actual usage basis in the period during which the services
are utilized by the customer.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
-------------------------
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Under SFAS 123, the Company
recognizes compensation for services rendered by employees and consultants using
a fair value methodology.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
----------------------------------------------
USE OF ESTIMATES
------------------
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. The Company reviews all significant estimates effecting the
financial statements on a recurring basis and records the effect of any
necessary adjustments prior to their issuance. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
NET LOSS PER SHARE
---------------------
Net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during each period. Dilutive potential common shares include stock
options, warrants, and convertible debentures. For 1999 and 1998, these shares
were not considered in the calculation of net loss per share as they were
anti-dilutive.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
------------------------------
The Company has determined that the local currency of its international
subsidiaries is the functional currency. In accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation," the assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars
at the current rate of exchange existing at period-end and revenues and expenses
are translated at average monthly exchange rates. The cumulative effect
resulting from such translation is included in accumulated other comprehensive
income in the consolidated financial statements. At December 31. 1999 and 1998
a foreign currency translation losses and gains of ($23,560) and $15,522,
respectively were recorded.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
--------------------
Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 131 "Disclosures About Segments of a Business Enterprise
and Related Information." SFAS No. 131, which supercedes SFAS No. 14,
"Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise," and establishes
standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about
operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those
enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim
financial reports. SFAS No. 131 also establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.
The adoption of SFAS No. 131 did not affect the results of operations or
financial position of the Company, but did affect the disclosures of the segment
information. See Note 14 for the Company's disclosures related to SFAS No. 131.

----------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
----------------------
The carrying amounts for the Company's cash and other current assets, accounts
payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, and other liabilities approximate fair
value.
INCOME TAXES
-------------
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes specified
by SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", whereby deferred tax liabilities
and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statement
and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for
the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets
are recognized and measured based on the likelihood of realization of the
related tax benefit in the future.
ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT IN THE ASIA PACIFIC REGION
-----------------------------------------------------
The economic developments in the Asia Pacific Region continue to affect the
Philippines and Malaysia and have led to fluctuating foreign exchange rates and
tight financial credit. Although the foreign exchange rates and the interest
are now leaning towards lower levels, the Company will continue to be affected
in the foreseeable future by economic events in the Asia Pacific Region. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from these
uncertainties. Related effects will be reported in the financial statements as
they become known and estimable.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
-----------------
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1998 financial statements to
conform with the 1999 presentation.
3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
----------------------
ACQUISITION OF BENTLEY HOUSE FURNITURE COMPANY, INC.
----------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to the Agreement for the Purchase of Stock dated March 18, 1999,
(Acquisition Agreement) , GTMI acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of common
stock of BHFC, as of April 2, 1999. The Company issued 29,595,139 shares of its
common stock and 4,000 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in
exchange for all the issued and outstanding shares of BHFC common stock, which
totaled 200,0000 shares.
Simultaneously with the closing of the acquisition agreement, an Escrow
Agreement was created then amended on July 1,1999, so that 3,878 shares of the
4,000 shares originally issued of GTMI

ACQUISITION OF BENTLEY HOUSE FURNITURE COMPANY, INC. (Continued)
----------------------------------------------------------
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the 200,000 shares of BHFC's common
stock would be placed in escrow for the period of one year from July 1999. The
29,595,139 shares of GTMI common stock were issued to the shareholders of BHFC.
As a condition for the release of the shares of common stock of GTMI, they
agreed to waive all and any salary or compensation for the period of one year
and to arrange funding for all of the restructuring costs and legal fees for
the same period.
The escrow agreement provides that if during the escrow period, GTMI files
chapter 11 or Chapter 7 or for other creditor protection, the 3,878 shares of
Series A Convertible Preferred shares of GTMI held in escrow will be immediately
retired, 200,000 shares of BHFC's common stock, held in escrow, will be
immediately returned and the shareholders of BHFC will retain the 29,595,139
shares of common stock issued to them and no further claims will be levied
against them. The escrow agreement allows the new shareholders of GTMI to vote
and to receive any dividends paid on the stock held in escrow.
The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase
method of accounting, whereby BHFC was treated as the accounting acquirer and
GTMI as the accounting acquiree. As such, the assets and liabilities of GTMI
will be revalued at their fair market value as of the date of the acquisition.

CONVERSION OF DEBENTURE
-------------------------
a) In July 1999, the Company and the debt holders entered into a settlement
agreement by which the Company will convert the remaining balance of the
convertible debt into freely trading shares of the Company's common stock
pursuant to the original conversion terms as set forth in the convertible
debenture agreements, which is at the lesser of $4.00 per share or the average
closing bid price of the Company's common stock for the 5 trading days
immediately preceding the date of conversion. This conversion will be done
gradually with a maximum conversion of $1,000,000 of debentures every forty-five
days, beginning within one week of authorization by the Company's stockholders
to issue these additional shares to satisfy this obligation. As part of this
agreement, the Company will issue 500,000 shares of its common stock to the
debenture holders in satisfaction of outstanding damage claims. These shares
are to be issued in two installments of 250,000 shares at the beginning and end
of the debenture conversions. The Company will have the right to redeem
outstanding debentures for cash at face value in whole or in part.
As part of the agreement, in the event that the Company does not promptly take
all necessary steps to obtain the approval for the authorization and issuance of
the shares, a judgment will be issued against the Company in favor of the debt
holders in the total amount of $7,896,166. As of December 31, 1999, no
debentures have been converted into common stock, since as of the date of the
report, no additional shares have been authorized.
b) One June 21, 2000, a bank in the Philippines has agreed to release
certain property in the Philippines from foreclosure for a redemption amount of
$3,785,570. The redemption amount is broken down as follows:
Original amount of loan at December 31, 1999 $ 2,535,570
Additional expenses and loan extension fee 1,250,000

Subsequent to year end, the Company has made payments totaling $2,970,863
towards this debt. The difference of $814,707 will be paid in six monthly
installments. The Company has indicated that they will accept these terms in
order to redeem the foreclosed property.

At December 31, 1999, the Company had available unrecognized net operating loss
carryforwards for income tax reporting purposes of $42,220,000, which will
expire in various periods through 2019. In addition, the Company has $1,244,327
of capital loss carryforwards, which expire in 2000 and can be used to offset
capital gains, if any. Because of the reverse acquisition, the utilization of
the net operating loss carryover per Internal Revenue Code Section 382, will be
limited to the value of GTMI prior to the reverse acquisition multiplied by the
IRS long-term tax-exempt rate of 4.78% in 1999.
SFAS No. 109 requires a valuation allowance to be recorded when it is more than
likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, valuations for 100% of the net deferred
tax assets were recorded due to uncertainties as to the amount of taxable
income that will be generated in future years. No income tax benefit has been
recorded for all periods presented because of the valuation allowance.
Due to "change in ownership" provisions in the Internal Revenue Code Section
382, the availability of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards may be
subject to an annual limitation against taxable income in future periods, which
could substantially limit the eventual utilization of these net carryforwards.

arisen in disputes with vendors for non payment of services received. Amounts
claimed due under the lawsuits, including accrued interest, are included in
accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued legal judgments and contingencies
and notes payable at December 31, 1999 and 1998. The most significant
litigation is described below.
In August 29, 1997, a complaint was filed against the Company by a vendor
seeking recovery of approximately $6 million for payment of services rendered as
well as fees for attorneys and court costs. The suit was amended to reflect an
amount of $9 million plus interest. While no assurances can be given, the
Company intends to vigorously defend this action. At December 31, 1999 the
Company had accrued a total of $11,098,910 related to this matter. The Company
is optimistic that some kind of out of court settlement can be achieved.
In May 1998, an award was entered against the company for $2.5 million with
respect to a former agreement for services to be provided by each entity. On
April 1, 1999, the Company entered into a settlement agreement for $325,000.
Although the Company was successful in reaching a compromise settlement, its
inability to make payment of the settlement resulted in the reinstatement of
$2.5 million The Company has accrued a total of $2,698,157 relating to this
matter as of December 31, 1999. The Company is optimistic that some kind of out
of court settlement can be achieved.
In February 1997, a note payable holder filed a complaint against the Company
seeking recovery on two promissory notes totaling $250,000 in principal,
together with interest, attorney fees, costs and expenses. Although the Company
was successful in reaching a compromise settlement of this action, its inability
to make payment of the settlement resulted in a summary judgment against the
Company for $250,000. As of December 31, 1999, the Company has recorded
$250,000 in notes payable. The Company is optimistic that some kind of out of
court settlement can be achieved.

A complaint was filed against the Company to collect on a promissory note in
total principal amount of $250,000, together with interest and attorney fees.
In May 20, 2000 a default judgment was entered against the Company in the amount
of $262,309, $47,808 in interest and $46,517 in attorney fees. At December 31,
1999 the Company has recorded a 12% note payable of $262,309, $47,808 in accrued
interest, and $47,808 accrued legal fees relating to this matter.
Pursuant to a Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement dated May 28, 1998, an option
holder exercised its rights to purchase 282,075 shares of unrestricted common
stock at $.46 per share. The Company has not issued the stock, giving rise to
the claims for the beach of contract and conversion. The option holder has
stated that they will hold the Company responsible for the damages caused by the
failure to issue the shares, resulting in estimated damages of approximately
$700,000 plus punitive damages. No amounts have been recorded by management
related to this matter, since no claims have been asserted.
The Company entered into a settlement agreement with the former President of the
Company. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company will pay John
Walsh $205,000 and 850,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Additionally,
upon the execution of the agreement, the Company's current President/CEO was to
have remitted his personal shares to the Company transfer agent for cancellation
and the re-issuance of the shares to the former employee. No shares have been
issued under the share surrender agreement (Note 8). The Company has accrued
$330,000 as of December 31, 1999 related to this matter.
The Company entered into a settlement agreement with a major customer for
services rendered but not paid. In the lawsuit, the Company also requested the
return of 2,168,767 shares of its common stock that were issued to this
customer. In accordance with the terms of the settlement agreement, the
customer was to pay $200,000 for the shares of common stock. The customer paid
$112,400 for 1,218,767 shares of common stock and returned 950,000 shares of the
Company's common stock instead of paying the remaining $87,600. In exchange for
such payment, the Company agreed to release any restrictions on the shares and
reissue replacement certificates as needed for the 1,218,767 shares of the
Company's common stock. The Company recorded the returned 950,000 shares of the
Company's common stock as treasury stock.
