ENHANCED SERVICES COMPANY, INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                            August 31, 1998 and 1997

(1)  Organization

     Enhanced Services Company, Inc. (the Company) a Colorado corporation, was
     incorporated in 1987.

     The Company began, in May 1998, consolidating its facilities in North
     Bergan, New Jersey and Houston, Texas into the Irvine, California facility.
     The move was completed by the end of July 1998. The Company closed its NB
     Engineering, Inc. subsidiary in Crofton, Maryland in May 1998.

     The Company's administrative offices also were relocated from Houston,
     Texas to El Segundo and subsequently to Los Angeles, California in May
     1998.

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ESC and
     subsidiaries since acquisition or formation. All inter-company accounts and
     transactions have been eliminated.



(2)  Unaudited Statements

     The balance sheet as of August 31, 1998, the statements of income for the
     three and nine month periods ended August 31, 1998 and August 31, 1997 and
     the statement of cash flow for the three and nine month period ended August
     31, 1998 and August 31, 1997 have been prepared by the Registrant without
     audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only
     normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
     position, results of operations and cash flows at August 31, 1998, and for
     all periods presented, have been made.

(3)  Stock Dividend

     During May 1998 the Company effected a one for one stock dividend/two for
     one stock split. All references to common stock in the financial statements
     have been retroactively adjusted.

(4)  Acquisition Agreement

     Effective March 3, 1998, the Company entered into a securities acquisition
     agreement pursuant to which the Company issued 220,000 pre-dividend common
     shares or approximately 19% of its common shares and 1,000,000 shares of a
     new class of nonvoting preferred shares, $3.00 par value per share, in
     exchange for stock held by exchanging parties in an interactive advertising
     and marketing corporation (the Zulu-tek transaction). The preferred shares
     of the Company are convertible into common shares at the Company's option
     only after shareholder approval at a meeting called for that purpose and
     have a liquidation preference which is junior to the previously issued
     preferred shares of the Company. In connection with the transaction, the
     holder of the Company's $500,000 accounts receivable collateralized loan
     agreed, subject to the consent of the loan participants, to convert the
     loan into equity.

     Effective September 16, 1998, the Company entered into an acquisition
     agreement to acquire the assets and certain liabilities of Zulu-tek, Inc.,

     stock will, if approved by the shareholders at the shareholder meeting
     currently set for November 20, 1998, convert into 5,200,00 shares of common
     stock.

(6)  Consulting Agreement

     On April 1, 1998 the Company entered into an agreement with Kennedy Miles
     Creative Communication, LTD, (KMCC). Pursuant to the agreement, KMCC shall
     provide consulting services to the Company for a term of one year. As
     consideration for services rendered by KMCC, the Company issued common
     stock purchase warrants exercisable to purchase, in the aggregate 75,000
     pre-dividend shares at $2.00 per share. During the second quarter of 1998,
     75,000 pre-dividend warrants were exercised and the difference between the
     exercise price of the warrants and the market value of the shares amounting
     to $150,000 was expensed.

     On March 15, 1998 the Company entered into an agreement with Richard A.
     Fisher (RAF). Pursuant to the agreement, RAF shall provide consulting
     services to the Company for a term of one year. AS consideration for
     services rendered by RAF, the Company issued common stock purchase warrants
     exercisable to purchase, in the aggregate 50,000 pre-dividend shares at
     $4.00 per share. During the second quarter of 1998, 50,000 pre-dividend
     warrants were exercised.

(7)  Working Capital Note/Equity

     The Company executed a $3,000,000 subordinated working capital note with
     Netvest Capital Partners, LP. The note proceeds may fund operations of the
     Company and the business combination. Funds advanced under the note to the
     Company at August 31, 1998 were $2,266,249. Netvest Capital Partners, LP,
     subsequent to August 31, 1998, has agreed to convert the working capital
     note to equity.

(8)  Advances to Zulu-Media

     The Company entered into a working capital agreement with Zulu-Media
     whereby the Company will provide working capital. The agreement provides
     for repayment upon demand by the Company.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and results
of Operations

       Overview

       Enhanced Services Company, Inc. (the "Company") historically, through
it's Laptop Solutions -Texas and California subsidiaries, provided certain
services to the portable computing community. The Company, in a move to
consolidate and eliminate duplicate facilities moved all it's operations to
Irvine, California. Because of the consolidation of Laptop Solutions -Texas and
California, the following discussion has been combined into one presentation and
will not be entirely comparable. The Company plans to concentrate more of its
efforts in the custom engineering products and services. The Company, until May
1998, offered digital video compression and DVD-Video services through it's NB
Digital Solutions subsidiary in Crofton, Maryland. NB Digital sustained
substantial losses since it's acquisition in 1995 and in view of the investment
required to continue its' operation and the uncertainty of achieving
profitability, the Company ceased NB Digital operations in May, 1998 and the
operating results are reflected as "Discontinued" in the following discussions.

       The Company's second fiscal quarter ended August 31, 1998 and the
nine-month comparable period of 1997 are referred to in the discussions below as
1998 and 1997, respectively.

       COMBINED OPERATIONS OF LAPTOP SOLUTIONS -- CALIFORNIA & TEXAS

       Laptop Solutions - Results of operations for nine month period ended
August 31, 1998 and 1997 are summarized and discussed below: The discontinued
operation of NB Digital Solutions, Inc. has been presented as other expense
titled "Discontinued operations"

SALES: Revenue from upgrade and enhancement sales decreased $772,831 from
$1,394,867 in 1997 to $622,036 in 1998, a decrease of 55%, while the per unit
revenue and volume continue to decline as a result of competitive pressure and
technological change. Revenue from Compatibility Plus(TM) sales, the removable
hard disk pak, decreased $205,780 to $71,790 in 1998, from $277,570 in 1997 as
demand for the pak continues to decline. Revenues from repair and contract
maintenance services decreased from $683,296 in 1997 to $496,655 in 1998 from
$1,179,951 in 1997, a decrease of 57%. Management believes the decrease is a
result of certain manufacturers extending the warranty period to three years
from one year and reducing the warranty reimbursement to the service provider.
Also, certain manufacturers have begun to compete with its service provider for
the repair business by opening depot repair facilities. Revenues from engineered
products that began shipping in the first quarter of 1998 amounted to $685.357.
Demand for the product, a wireless modem that was custom designed with Panasonic
Personal Computer Company is expected to remain strong through the third and
fourth quarter of 1998. Revenue from CVAR 2000(TM) decreased $132,250 in 1998 to
$494,467 from $625,717 in 1997 as demand for the anti-reflective film
application declined.

COST OF SALES: Cost of sales of upgrade, enhancements, declined $398,090 in 1998
from $733,153 in 1997, a 54% decrease that was primarily the result of declining
demand. Cost of sales for the removable hard disk pak declined $121,794 to
$38,074 in 1998 from $159,868 in 1997, a decline of 76% as the hard disk pak
sales decline. Cost of sales of repair and contract services decreased $348,773
in 1998 to $159,113 from $507,886, a decrease of 69% as a result of declining
demand and competition. Cost of sales of CVAR 2000 decreased $160,586 from
$346,765 in 1997 to $186,179 in 1998 as a result of declining sales. All other
direct cost of sales, primarily freight expense, decreased $132,996 to $42,007
in 1998 from $175,003 in 1997, primarily as a result of the decline in the
volume of shipments.

OPERATING AND OTHER EXPENSES: Salaries and related payroll cost in 1998 amounted
to $839,617 as compared to $1,118,022 in 1997, a decrease of 26%. The decrease
in personnel and related cost was primarily due to consolidating the Houston and
New Jersey facility to Irvine California. Insurance cost in 1998 amounted to
$86,552 as compared to $101,807 in 1997, a decrease of 15%. The decrease was
primarily the result of the facility consolidation. Advertising costs declined
$154,439 from $176,719 in 1997 to $22,280 in 1998, a decrease of 87%, due to
cancellation of ineffective advertising. Computer expense decreased $48,761 in
1998 to $39,945 from $88,706 in 1997 as a result of increasing the computer
network capacity and capabilities in 1997. Laptop Solutions-Texas was charged
rent for its office and warehouse space by the Company of $131,003 for 1997 when
the Company owned the building. The building was sold in August 1997 and Laptop
leased its existing space from the purchasers of the building for the then
market rate of $203,992, an increase of $72,989. The cost of the Houston lease
continued through August 1998. Also, the California facility size was increased
to accommodate the production of engineered products and CVAR 2000, resulting in
additional rent of $49,738 in 1998 to $113,516 from $63,778 in 1997.
Professional fees increased $61,952 to $114,115 in 1998 from $52,163 in 1997,
primarily as a result of increased legal and auditing cost. Consulting fees in
the amount of $150,000 in connection with the exercise of warrant, were expensed
in 1998.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS: NB Digital Solutions operations were discontinued in
May 1998. Sales declined $628,510 in 1998 to $305,921 from $934,431 in 1997 and
gross profit from such sales declined $604,227 to $202,534 for the period.
Operating expenses amounted to $635,383 in 1998, a decrease of $628,213 from
$1,263,598 in 1997. Goodwill in the amount of $657,688 and loss on disposition
of assets amounted to $143,112. Cost of discontinuing the operation has been
estimated to be $200,000 and such amount has been reserved for that purpose.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       At August 31, 1998, the Company had stockholders' equity totaling
$3,177,483, as compared to $1,496,050 at November 30, 1997, an increase of
$1,681,433. The increase of $1,1681,433 resulted from additional capital, offset
by operation losses. The capital included the issuance of 220,000 pre-dividend
common shares at the then market price of $4.75, and issuance of 1,000,000
shares of preferred stock, stated value of $3.00 per share for an aggregate of
$4,045,000. In addition, during the quarter: 75,000 pre-dividend common stock
purchase warrants at $2.00 per share were exercised pursuant to a consulting
agreement with Kennedy Miles and Associates resulting in gross proceeds of
$300,000 before a discount of $150,000 charged to current operations; a 50,000
pre-dividend common stock purchase warrants at $4.00 per share were exercised
pursuant to a consulting agreement with Richard A. Fisher resulting in net
proceeds of $200,000; Creative Business Strategies exercised 7,500 pre-dividend
common stock purchase warrants at $2.00 per share and 85,000 post-dividend
common stock purchase warrants at prices from $1.00 to $2.00 per share with net
proceeds of $138,875. Wall Street Financial exercised 8,500 pre-dividend common
stock purchase warrants at $3.00 per share and 83,000 post-dividend common stock
purchase warrants at prices of $1.50 to $2.00 per share resulting in net
proceeds of $175,000; and, shares were issued pursuant to the 1992 Stock Option
Plan resulting in proceeds of $29,389. The loss for the nine-month period ended
August 31, 1998 amounted to $3,189,116.

       The Company's working capital was ($144,331) as compared to $337,799 on
November 30, 1997, a decrease of $481,130. The decrease was primarily the result
of a $879,063 increase in receivables and a $444,439 reduction in cash and an
increase of $849,805 in accounts payable and short-term notes.

       The Company sought up to $50,000,000 in private placement and equity
during the second and third quarters but the financing was not successful,
primarily because the market did not respond to a placement premised on a
combined business plan by two separate entities. Consequently, as a result of
the incomplete financing and the advances to Zulu-tek, as well as costs of
consolidating the Laptop facilities, during the third quarter, the Company has
deferred certain payables, pending proceeds of additional funding being pursued
by the Company. On September 18, 1998, the Company entered into a letter of
intent for a private placement of up to $20,000,00 in preferred equity, of which
$1,050,000 was funded on October 13, 1998. The balance is expected to be funded
by the end of the Company's fiscal year on November 30, 1998, and will be
applied, along with operating funds to the Company's operating obligations and
to implement the combined business plan and other capital needs. In that
connection, effective September 14, 1998, the Company announced the acquisition
of the assets and certain liabilities of Zulu-tek, Inc. in exchange for
preferred stock to be converted to 5,200,000 shares of common stock, after
shareholder approval at a shareholder meeting currently set for November 20,
1998.

       The Company has historically relied on cash from equity and debt funding
and the exercise of options and warrants to supplement its operating funds.
Management believes that revenue generated from operations, along with funds
generated by financing activities including the proceeds from the current
private placement of equity and debt securities will be sufficient to meet
Company needs and to support the business and strategic plan being undertaken by
the Company for at least the next 12 months. However, there can be no assurance
that anticipated operating results will be achieved or that the current private
placement of funds will be completed on favorable terms and at the levels
required. If the current fundings are not completed or are completed at levels
or on terms which do not provide sufficient funding on acceptable terms,
management will be required to modify Company strategy.
