PART I: FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Financial Statements
Attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference are consolidated
unaudited financial statements (under cover of Exhibit FQ1-00) for the three
months ended March 31, 2000.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(a) Plan of Operation for the next twelve months.
(1) Cash Requirements and of Need for additional funds, twelve months. In
December 1999, Desert Springs Acquisition Corporation (DSAC) acquired all of the
issued and outstanding shares of Woodcomm International, Inc. in exchange for
15,316,000 shares of common stock of DSAC. For financial reporting purposes the
business combination was accounted for as a reverse acquisition with WCI as the
acquirer. The historical financial statements prior to the merger are those of
WCI. The Company provides Internet-based voice telecommunication to customers
around the world.
The Company has had minimal sales revenue in the first quarter of 2000 and will
continue to have modest revenues over the next twelve months. However, it will
be necessary for the Company to secure additional revenues in order to realize
its business plan. We are exploring raising funds in a limited offering and/or
private placement to highly sophisticated accredited investors to raise these
required revenues. We have not yet determined what is in the best interests of
our shareholders.
(2) Summary of Product Research and Development. None at this time.
(3) Expected purchase or sale of plant and significant equipment. None at this
time.
(4) Expected significant change in the number of employees. As of March 31,
2000, we employed 15 full-time and 10 part-time employees. No significant change
in the number of employees is anticipated. None of our employees are covered by
collective bargaining agreements.
(b) Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
(1)Three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the three months ended March
31, 1999.
The Company's recorded loss for the first quarter in 2000 was $318,703 compared
to $24,961 for the same quarter in 1999. This $293,742 increase in the loss
was comprised of a slight decease in sales and gross margin significantly offset
by an increase in general and administrative expenses of $244,417.
The $37,237 decrease in sales was due to the competitive nature of the industry.
Although the Company was able to increase the number of transactions during the
first quarter of 2000 compared to the first quarter of 1999, the amount charged
for each transaction decreased resulting in a decrease in sales and gross
margin.
The increase of $244,417 in general and administrative expense is primarily
attributable to an increase of approximately $85,000 in consulting and
professional fees incurred in connection with the reorganization, Approximately
$38,000 of an increase in depreciation expense due to the increase in fixed
assets and the amortization of the intangible asset and an increase of
approximately $36,000 in salaries as a result of additional employees. The
remainder of the increase is related to increases in travel related to sales and
marketing efforts and general office expense including rent expense on
additional equipment leased under operating leases.

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Business
In April 1999, Woodcomm, LLC was reorganized changing from an LLC to a Nevada
Corporation, Woodcomm International, Inc. (WCI).
In December 1999, Desert Springs Acquisition Corporation (Desert Springs)
acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of WCI in exchange for
15,316,000 shares of common stock of Desert Springs. For financial reporting
purposes, the business combination was accounted for as an additional
capitalization of the Company (a reverse acquisition with WCI as the acquirer).
WCI is considered the surviving entity. The historical financial statements
prior to the merger are those of WCI. Desert Springs only assets and
liabilities consisted of a liability for $80,346. The liabilities were not
assumed in the merger.
In January 2000, Desert Springs Acquisition Corp moved its state of
incorporation to Nevada by merger of the Colorado corporation with and into
iDial Networks, Inc. (a Nevada corporation). The predecessor Company, Woodcomm,
LLC was established in May 1997 in the state of Nevada. The Company began
commercial operations in June 1998 as a facilities-based wholesale provider of
international long-distance telephone services into South East Asia from the
United States.
The Company is providing Internet-based voice telecommunication to customers
around the world. It operates selected communication services, including phone
cards and Internet enabled telephony. The Internet triggered calls combine the
flexibility of a computer (on-line billing and call records) with the low
tariffs of USA based carriers via calling centers or direct from home anywhere
in the world.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31,
2000. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB.

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentration of credit
risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. Additionally, the
Company maintains cash balances in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may
exceed federally insured limits. During the year ended December 31, 1999,
predominantly all of the Company's sales were generated form two companies and
receivables from these companies consisted of $20,611 or 77% of total trade
accounts receivable. During the year ended December 31, 1998, predominantly all
of the Company's sales were generated from one company and receivables consisted
of $82,614 or 95% of total trade accounts receivable.
Loan Origination Fees
The December 31, 1998 loan origination fees were direct costs incurred for the
origination of loans that were deferred and amortized to interest expense using
the interest method over the contractual terms of the loans. During 1999, the
loan origination fees were expensed in connection with the settlement of the
related debt through the transfer of common stock.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost; equipment under capital lease is
stated at the lower of fair market value or net present value of minimum lease
payments at inception of the leases. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or lease terms of the
related assets of three to five years.
Intangible Asset
Intangible asset consists of trademarks and rights of a particular phone card
and is stated at cost. Amortization is computed using the straight line over
the estimated useful life of the asset of five years.

Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized upon the completion of long distance telephone service
based on the duration of the telephone call.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value as of
December 31, 1999, as a result of the relatively short maturity of these
instruments.
The fair value of the notes receivable approximate the carrying value as both
the stated rate and discount rate on the notes approximate the estimated current
market rate.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not
be recovered. The Company looks primarily to the undiscounted future cash flows
in its assessment of whether or not long-lived assets have been impaired. At
December 31, 1999, the Company determined no impairment was appropriate.
Income Taxes
During 1998, the Company was organized as an LLC. No tax was paid by the LLC as
each member is allocated their respective share of the Company's income or loss
for the year in accordance with federal and state tax laws. Accordingly, no tax
provision is included in the financial statements for the year ended December
31, 1998.
Effective April 1999, the Company was reorganized, changing from an LLC to a C
Corporation. As a result, the Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and
assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method,
deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference
between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using
the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are
expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if
necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence,
are not expected to be realized.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS
128") and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 ("SAB 98"). Under the provisions
of SFAS 128 and SAB 98, basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by
dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
During April 1998, Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting in the Costs of
Start-Up Activities" was issued. SOP 98-5 was required to be adopted by the
first quarter of 1999. The Company had no effect on operations upon adoption of
SOP 98-5.

IDial Networks, Inc. ("We", "Our", "Us" and sometimes the "Company") are an
established Application Service Provider (ASP) of Internet Protocol (IP)
Telephony communications. Through a reverse merger in December 1999, we became
publicly traded with the symbol (OTCBB:IDNW). Our web address is
www.iDialnetworks.com
We compete in a business sector known as Voice Over IP (VoIP), which is
experiencing explosive growth and is projected to reach $60 billion in revenues
by 2005, according to Ovum Research. The Internet phenomenon continues, with
International Data Corporation projecting nearly 400 million global users by the
end of 2002. E-Marketer estimates that 9.4 billion e-mail messages are delivered
daily, and TeleGeography projects the international long distance market to grow
to $79 billion by the end of 2001, comprised of 143 billion minutes of LD calls.
All these factors have enabled the more efficient VoIP technology to begin to
change the face of global communications.
The Company has integrated the economics of VoIP technology with the convenience
of conventional telephony to enable web initiated telephone services. With this
Dial technology, we are able to offer consumers and businesses telephony
services at costs approaching the wholesale rates of carriers. Unlike some
competitors who offer PC to phone services, iDial's web based services are
provisioned via the Internet but all calls are currently made phone to phone.
The majority of PC owners do not have microphones and telephony software and
thus prefer the more familiar telephone for verbal communications. When the
market dictates, iDial will offer PC to Phone and PC to PC telephony services.
The Company delivers high-quality traditional and VoIP telephony services to
consumers and businesses, with the following benefits:
Low Cost. Telephone calls are a fraction of the cost of traditional Long
distance service.
High Voice Quality. We offer high voice quality by integrating traditional
telephony and packet-switching technologies.
Ease of Use and Access. Designed for convenience and ease of access From
anywhere in the world, an internet connection and a standard Internet browser
such as Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer is all that is required. Lacking
an Internet connection, the customer medial a toll-free or local access number
from any telephone or fax machine in the US to access our network as well.
One-Click Online Calling. iDial services enable users to speak with anyone
worldwide with a single click of a button. On-line retailers could use this
technology to connect customers to sales representatives when browsing their web
sites and increase the likelihood of consummating the on-line sale.
Reliable/flexible Service. The technologically advanced design allows for the
expansion of the network capacity by the simple addition of switches, and the
ability to seamlessly reroute traffic if problems arise.
Ease of Payment and Online Account Access. iDial customers are able to make
calls by opening a prepaid account using credit cards, wire transfers or checks,
and can access their accounts via the Internet to view their call history,
account balances, or to increase their prepaid amounts.
Customer Support. The Company offers real-time customer support in multiple
languages, and the integrated billing and call management system provides
service representatives with immediate access to customer accounts.
Product Description. The Company currently offers traditional prepaid phone
cards and VoIP services based on iDial technology under the following brand
names for which various trade and service marks are registered:
NetPhoneCard - Web initiated worldwide phone calls with US dial tone and low
tariffs.
Phone-Me-Now - An iDial e-commerce tool. A Phone-Me-Now button is placed on a
website that allows a customer to initiate a call to his phone from a
representative of the company that is hosting the site.
CellPhoneCard - Based upon ANI recognition of a subscriber's cellular phone,
subscribers benefit from low international tariffs when nationwide calling is
included in the subscriber's cellular rate plan.
CheapPhoneCard - Internet purchased phone cards for USA usage.
Product Development. The company has additional VoIP products and services in
development, targeting specific business to business markets, as well as
consumers. It is anticipated these products will be completed and in service
within the next 12 months. They include:
Conference Calling with up to 8 participants
SendaCall - Prepaid calls sent within a virtual greeting card bye-mail to
recipients anywhere in the world, allowing recipient to place free call to
sender.
Web based International Call Center for use by iDial Call Center Agents who will
have complete virtual call center capabilities from their web connection
allowing web based call setup, billing and reporting.
HomePhoneCard - Based upon ANI recognition of a subscriber's home
phone, low international tariffs available with a local access number.
Free PC to PC calls with H.323 compliant technologies like Microsoft NetMeeting,
and marginal fees to phones worldwide.
Service to Residential and Business customers throughout the US on a direct,
post paid and billed to your credit card service.
Wireless Services - The company will continue to expand wireless development to
include areas such as Wireless Access Protocol (WAP) and Bluetooth technologies.
Growth Strategy
While a large number of VoIP companies have been formed in recent years, most
focus on the build out and development of international VoIP networks in the
effort to capture an ever shrinking high margin revenue base. Little attention
has been given to domestic VoIP with bundled service offerings. The Company
believes that in this very competitive landscape, offering many voice and data
transmission options, leasing time (or purchasing minutes) on VoIP networks will
quickly become a commodity business, as the various competitors whittle margins
to gain growth and market share. It is imperative to not only offer a quality,
nationwide network but to also be an aggressive marketing organization seeking
to provide value added products and services.
The Company intends to leverage its position in the Internet telephony market to
make communications services readily available worldwide. Its strategy includes
the following key elements:
1) Drive Usage through Resellers and Strategic Partners. The Company will
promote its services through direct sales and marketing and through
relationships with resellers and leading Internet hardware, software and content
companies. A primary strategy is to offer flat rate global long distance service
to cable subscribers in a partnership with leading cable operators.
2) Pursue Multiple Sources of Revenue. In addition to minutes- based revenue,
the Company intends to pursue new Web-based revenue opportunities from banner
and audio advertising.
3) Enhance Brand Recognition. The Company intends to strengthen and enhance its
brand recognition by cooperatively marketing its Internet telephony services
with leading companies in other market segments.
4) Provide Unique VoIP Products and Services for Business to Business. The
Company's current suite of VoIP products will greatly enhance the e-commerce
companies.
Many e-commerce sites have discovered the necessity of having a customer service
representative talk with potential buyers. However, traditional 800 numbers are
still relatively expensive, and require some effort on the part of the buyer to
initiate the call. With iDial's "Phone-me-now" technology, a simple click of a
button will connect the buyer with the seller's representative at very low
rates. To further lower operating costs, the Company is exploring joint ventures
with customer service centers in English speaking countries where wages are
lower, and thus customer service becomes more affordable to e-commerce.
Technical Support. The Company's network operations center is located at its
corporate headquarters in Dallas, with gateway equipment also located in Los
Angeles to serve the Asian market. Customer service is provided in several
languages.
Proprietary Technology. The Company uses a combination of its own proprietary
software applications and commercially available licensed technology to conduct
Internet and telephone routing operations. The Company has developed proprietary
software which permits a customer to purchase a virtual calling card on the Web
site using a credit card and to have the virtual calling card account activated
while on the Web site. Also proprietary are various credit and fraud management
applications which aid in checking credit and limiting fraudulent transactions.
Additionally, the Company has developed proprietary software that allows for the
real-time provisioning of customers on the network using a credit card and have
immediate access to multiple accounts and services serving the wireless and

Equipment Requirements. As the Company increases its services and minutes sold,
it plans to install additional equipment in appropriate sites. The first stage
of network expansion projects will locate gateways in New York and Miami, in
addition to the existing Dallas, Los Angeles and Laos facilities. The Company
will lease existing capacity in other locations until such time as sufficient
business is generated to warrant Company owned switching equipment.
The Company has deployed VoIP technology with leading manufacturers such as
Cisco Systems and Clarent, and contracts for carriage with major Internet
backbone suppliers such as Quest and Pacific Gateway. The company will continue
to expand it's network based on technologies provided by Cisco and Micosoft. The
Company engineering staff consists of five software developers located at the
Company's 90% owned Technology Center in Sri Lanka, as well as two Dallas based
technicians.
Employees. As of March 31, 2000, we employed 15 full-time and 10 part-time
employees. None of our employees are covered by collective bargaining
agreements.
