Report Of Independent Certified Public Accountants
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Cronus Communications, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Cronus Communications, Inc.
as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related statements of operations and
retained earnings (accumulated deficit), and cash flows for the years then
ended. 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 audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the 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 presentation of the financial
statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Cronus Communications, Inc. at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern. The Company has sustained significant
operating losses in 1999 and 1998 and has significant short-term cash
commitments. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters
are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not contain any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

CRONUS COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION Cronus Communications, Inc. (the "Company") was
incorporated on February 28, 1995 in Illinois.
The Company is engaged in manufacturing and
selling telecommunications equipment and
providing consulting services for satellite
telecommunications systems planning. The Company
sells products and provides services primarily
in the United States.
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 the 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. Certain estimates used by
management are particularly susceptible to
significant changes in the economic environment.
These include estimates of inventory
obsolescence, valuation allowances for trade
receivables and deferred tax assets, and
evaluation of the recoverability of goodwill.
Each of these estimates, as well as the related
amounts reported in the financial statements,
are sensitive to near term changes in the
factors used to determine them. A significant
change in any one of those factors could result
in the determination of amounts different than
those reported in the financial statements.
Management believes that as of December 31, 1999
and 1998, the estimates used in the financial
statements are adequate based on the information
currently available.
RISKS AND The Company's future operating results may be
UNCERTAINTIES affected by a number of factors. During fiscal
year 1999, two significant customers accounted
for approximately 30% of total revenue. The risk
to the Company is that a loss of one or two
customers could have a significant adverse
impact on revenues and operating results.
The Company sells primarily to large
multinational original equipment manufacturers.
Generally sales are on credit and no collateral
is required, although the Company reserves the
right to have the products returned in the event
of default. The Company provides an allowance
for estimated sales returns and uncollectible
accounts. The Company's concentration of sales
to certain customers, discussed above, exposes
the Company to a relatively greater risk of loss
than would be the case with greater
diversification.

<PAGE> 10
CRONUS COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company operates in a highly volatile
industry that is characterized by fierce
industry-wide competition resulting in
aggressive pricing practices, continually
changing customer demand patterns, growing
competition from well-capitalized high
technology companies, and rapid technological
development. The Company's operating results
could be adversely affected should the Company
be unable to anticipate customer demand
accurately, to maintain short design cycles
while meeting evolving industry performance
standards, to manage its product transactions,
inventory levels, and manufacturing processes
efficiently, to distribute its product quickly
in response to customer demand, to differentiate
its products from those of its competitors, or
to compete successfully in the markets for its
new products.
CASH AND The Company considers all highly liquid
CASH EQUIVALENTS investments with an original maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. The
Company invests its excess cash principally in
overnight repurchase accounts and short-term
government securities. The Company maintains
amounts in excess of the federal deposit
insurance limitation of $100,000 in its bank
accounts.
INVENTORY Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or
market. Cost is based on standard costs, which
approximate the first-in, first-out (FIFO)
method.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment is recorded at cost and
depreciated on a straight-line basis over the
estimated useful life of the related assets
(generally three to seven years). Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the lesser of
the lease term or the useful life of the
property. Inventory used for testing and
demonstration purposes is capitalized and
included in property and equipment.
SOFTWARE Costs incurred to establish the technological
DEVELOPMENT feasibility of computer software are considered
COSTS research and development costs and are expensed
as incurred. When the technological feasibility
of a software product has been established,
development costs are capitalized.
Capitalization of these costs ceases when the
product is considered available for sale to
customers. Amortization of capitalized software
cost, for both internally developed and
purchased software products, is provided on a
product-by-product basis over the estimated
economic life of the product, which is generally
four years. Management evaluates the
recoverability of the software on a periodic
basis and, if necessary, recognizes any
impairment that may have occurred.
8
<PAGE> 11
CRONUS COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
GOODWILL The Company has recorded goodwill based on the
excess of purchase price over net assets
acquired. The Company analyzes the future
projected cash flows in comparison to the
carrying value of the goodwill for possible
impairment. During 1998, management determined
from such an analysis that an impairment of
goodwill had occurred. In response, the Company
recorded a write down of approximately $603,000
and reduced the life of the goodwill from 15
years to 5 years. Management will continue to
analyze the projected cash flows for evidence of
any additional impairment.
ASSET In accordance with Statement of Financial
IMPAIRMENT Accounting Standards 121, the Company
periodically evaluates the carrying value of
long-lived assets when events and circumstances
warrant such a review. The carrying value of a
long-lived asset is considered impaired when the
anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such
asset is separately identifiable and is less
than the carrying value. In that event, a loss
is recognized based on the amount by which the
carrying value exceeds the fair market value of
the long-lived asset. Fair market value is
determined primarily using the anticipated cash
flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the
risk involved.
REVENUE Revenues from product sales are recognized at
RECOGNITION the later of product shipment or customer
acceptance. An allowance is provided for
estimated sales returns and uncollectible
accounts. Revenue from consulting services is
recognized when the services are performed.
INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes in
accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes ("SFAS 109"). Under SFAS 109,
deferred taxes are determined using the
liability method which requires the recognition
of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on
differences between financial statement and
income tax basis using presently enacted tax
rates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. FUTURE PROSPECTS The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue
as a going concern. The Company has sustained
recurring operating losses in 1999 and 1998 and
has significant short-term cash commitments.
During 1999, the Company experienced periodic
shortages of cash largely due to its inability
to obtain outside financing of its research and
development efforts. Accordingly, the Company
has significant short-term cash commitments
largely resulting from the liquidity crisis
experienced in 1999. Management has attempted to
sell all or a portion of the Company's assets to
solve the liquidity crisis. In March 2000, the
Company completed the sale of certain assets and
the buyer assumed certain short and long-term
liabilities (see Note 11). However, there can be
no assurance that management can raise
additional funds to liquidate the remaining
liabilities. These factors raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue in
existence. The financial statements do not
contain any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of these uncertainties.

CRONUS COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(a) On May 15, 1996, the Company purchased 100% of
the stock of Anadigicom Corporation. The Company
issued $2,084,000 in notes payable to the former
stockholders as partial consideration for the
acquisition. In 1996 and 1997, the Company made
payments of $951,477 to the former shareholders.
During 1998, the Company experienced severe cash
flow problems and did not make all of the
required principle and interest payments. In
March 1999, the Company renegotiated the amounts
due to the former shareholders. As part of this
renegotiation the Company issued new notes
totaling $4,735,187 which included $3,696,057 in
contingent consideration due under the purchase
agreement. The Company expensed this additional
consideration in 1999 because it in substance
represents compensation to the former
shareholders. The Company has included this
additional compensation in general and
administrative expenses in the accompanying
statement of operations. The notes bear interest
at 9% with one principal and interest payment due
May 1, 1999 and the remainder due March 15, 2004.
(b) During 1997, the Company obtained a $2,000,000
line of credit with a bank. Borrowings are
limited to eligible accounts receivable as
defined in the agreement. The line bore interest
at the bank's prime rate of interest plus 1.5%.
The line was collateralized by accounts
receivable, the receipts of which were deposited
into a restricted cash account and used to reduce
the outstanding balance. The line of credit
matured in February 1999 and was not renewed.
The Company also had a term loan with the bank.
The term loan bore interest at the bank's prime
rate of interest plus 4.0%, payable monthly, and
was collateralized by substantially all assets of
the Company. The term loan matured in February
1999 and was not renewed.
During 1999, the parent company obtained a line
of credit from a bank which is collateralized by
the Company's common stock. The Company receives
working capital advances from and transfers
excess cash to the parent company to facilitate
repayment of the line of credit.
(c) The Company leases equipment included in the
balance sheet as property and equipment under
capital leases with various companies. The assets
are included at a capitalized cost of $69,539 and
$49,813, with accumulated amortization of $42,985
and $27,161, at December 31, 1999 and 1998.

6. INCOME TAXES The Company files separate company federal and
state income tax returns. The parent company is a
subchapter S Corporation and, accordingly, the
individual shareholders are taxed on
distributions received from the Company. The
Company accounts for income taxes under the asset
and liability method which requires that deferred
tax assets and liabilities be recognized for the
estimated future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in
which those temporary differences are expected to
be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred
tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income tax expense in the
period that includes the enactment date. A
valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax
assets if it is more likely than not that these
items will either expire before the Company is
able to realize their benefit or that future
deductibility is uncertain.
