     The undersigned Registrant hereby amends and restates its Current Report on
Form 8-K filed with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  on July 20, 2000,
which excluded certain financial statements and pro forma financial  information
not available at the time of filing.

Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     On July 5, 2000,  pursuant to the "Asset Purchase  Agreement" dated July 5,
2000,  Gentner  Communications   Corporation,   (the  "Registrant"),   purchased
substantially  all  of  the  assets  of  ClearOne,   Inc.  (Woburn,   Mass.),  a
privately-held  developer and manufacturer of multi-media  group  communications
products.

     The Registrant  will account for the  acquisition of these assets under the
purchase  method of  accounting.  The assets were acquired with $1.76 million in
cash and 129,871 shares of the Registrant's  restricted stock. The cash purchase
price was paid from the Registrant's general working capital. The total value of
consideration  paid  for  the  assets  was  determined  based  on  arm's  length
negotiations  between  the  Registrant  and  ClearOne,  which took into  account
ClearOne's  financial  position,   operating  history,  products,   intellectual
property  and  other  factors  relating  to  ClearOne's  business.  There are no
material  relationships  between ClearOne and the Registrant prior to completion
of this transaction.

     The assets purchased were used in the development and support of ClearOne's
component  technology  products  for  both  audio  and  video   teleconferencing
applications.   The  Registrant   currently   intends  to  use  such  assets  in
substantially the same manner. The Registrant will retain ClearOne's  facilities
in Woburn, MA.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT





To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of ClearOne, Inc.



I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of ClearOne,  Inc. a Massachusetts
corporation  as of April 30, 2000,  and the related  statements  of  operations,
changes in  stockholders'  equity and cash flows for the year then ended.  These
financial  statements are the  responsibility  of the Company's  management.  My
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
my audit.



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



In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material  respects,  the  financial  position of ClearOne,  Inc. as of April 30,
2000,  and the  results of its  operations  and its cash flows for the year then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  effect 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 reported
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Revenue Recognition

Revenues from product sales are recognized when earned. For financial  reporting
purposes,  revenues  generated  by sales to  distributors  and  retailers  under
agreements  allowing  certain rights of return may be deferred until the product
is sold by the distributor or retailer.

Revenues from licensing of products will be recognized upon contract  execution,
provided all shipment and significant  obligations have been met, fees are fixed
or determinable  and collection is probable.  Revenue,  if any, from maintenance
contracts and upgrade  agreements  will be recognized  ratably over the contract
and  upgrade  agreement.  Revenue,  if any,  from  consulting  and  training  is
recognized upon performance.


Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short Term Investments

The  Company  considers  all highly  liquid  debt  instruments  with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Management  determines


                                                                             F-7
<PAGE>

the  appropriate  classification  of debt and equity  securities  at the time of
purchase and reevaluates the  classification  at each reporting date. During the
year  ended  April  30,2000,   the  Company   classified   its   investments  as
available-for-sale.  The cost of the Company's  investments is determined  based
upon specific  identification.  Investments classified as available-for-sale are
reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses,  net of related tax, if
any,  recorded as a separate  component of  stockholder's  equity.  At April 30,
2000, the Company's investments  classified as available-for-sale  totaled zero.
Cash  equivalents  include a $60,000 good faith deposit  returnable on demand by
Company from a foreign contract  manufacturer.  The deposit is presented at cost
and has subsequently been returned to Company on June 30, 2000.


Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost using the first-in,  first-out  method,
or market, defined as net realizable value. At April 30, 2000 inventory consists
of raw  materials  of $485,499  and  finished  goods of  $164,852  valued at net
realizable  value. The amount reported as inventory at April 30, 2000 is after a
write down of  $91,180 to reflect  market  value as net  realizable  value.  The
amount was charged to other income and expenses since the Company entered into a
sale of the bulk of its  inventory on July 5, 2000, at a price that is deemed to
be the net realizable value.


Property and Equipment

Property and  equipment  are stated at cost less  accumulated  depreciation  and
amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line
method based upon the shorter of the estimated useful lives,  ranging from three
to five years or the lease term of the respective assets as follows:

Furniture  and  fixtures 5 years,  Computer and testing  equipment 3 years,  and
leasehold improvements 5 years.

Molds and dies have been  developed for products,  and their cost of $156,303 is
included in equipment.  The cost has not been  depreciated  due to the fact that
the molds  and dies have not been  placed  into  service  since use has not been
considered significant.

Leasehold  improvements  totaling  $20,446  (original  cost)  abandoned at prior
locations have been written off during the year ended April 30, 2000.


Developed Software and Product Design

Research  and  development  costs are  charged to  operations  as  incurred.  In
accordance  with FAS-86,  costs incurred to develop  software that will be sold,
leased, or otherwise marketed by the Company are capitalized after technological
feasibility has been established and through the period of general  availability
of the product. During the year ended April 30, 2000, the Company had none.


License Agreements

The Company has purchased certain software licensing agreements for software and
module  components to be included in their products.  Management has capitalized
the license  agreements  and  amortizes  them over the useful  lives of 5 years.
Amortization  of license  agreements  for the year ended April 30, 2000  equaled
$52,250.

The carrying value of the long term assets such as license  agreements  that are
granted to the company  are  reviewed on an annual  basis for the  existence  of
facts  or  circumstances   both  internally  and  externally  that  may  suggest
impairment.  The Company determined as of April 30, 2000, that an impairment had
occurred based on gross expected future cash flows being insignificant,  if any,
since the license agreements  significantly  pertain to a suspended product. The
cash flow estimates used to determine the impairment  contain  management's best
estimate using appropriate and customary assumptions and projections as of April
30, 2000. The amount of the impairment was $156,751.

                                                                             F-8

On March 24,  1999,  the Company  granted a perpetual,  worldwide,  irrevocable,
non-exclusive  and  non-transferable  license to  VideoServer,  Inc., now called
Ezenia, Inc., for certain software in source and object code form, and reference
hardware  design,  except  as  part of a sale of the  portion  of the  Company's
business  associated with software or reference  design,  or a merger or sale of
all the stock or assets of either the Company or VideoServer,  without the prior
consent of the other party.

The  license is to use and modify  software  and the  reference  design,  in all
forms,  including but not limited to source code and object code forms.  Ezenia,
Inc. and its  subsidiaries may use the software and the reference design for the
purpose of creating  conferencing products as well as making, using, selling and
licensing  such  products.  Ezenia,  Inc.  must  restrict  access to  employees,
consultants  and  contractors  who  need  to  know.  Ezenia's  products  may  be
demonstrated,  loaned,  marketed,  sold and or sub-licensed  without restriction
either or through its channels of distribution.

The Company further grants to Ezenia, Inc. a perpetual, worldwide,  irrevocable,
non-exclusive, non-transferable right and license to use the software internally
and to sub-license  (under legally  enforceable  agreements)  and distribute the
software in object code form,  to end users and/or  resellers,  as part of or in
conjunction  with the Ezenia products except as part of a sale of the portion of
the Company's  business  associated  with the software or reference  design or a
merger or sale of substantially all of the stock or assets of either the company
or Ezenia  without the prior  consent of the other party which consent shall not
be  unreasonable  withheld.  Ezenia may also  sub-license the source code to the
software  provided it is in conjunction  with or as part of the Ezenia  products
(hardware and software) and where in circumstances Ezenia must place source code
into escrow as part of a maintenance or support agreement.

Ezenia,  Inc. will be entitled to a finder's fee of 6% from any  referrals  that
obtain rights to the reference  design or software for the purpose of creating a
product  from the  company as a result of a  demonstration  of the  product.  In
consideration  of the license  rights  granted by the company to Ezenia,  Ezenia
paid a license fee of $400,000 that was reflected as unearned license revenue as
of April 30,  1999 until  shipment  and  obligations  had been met. On August 5,
1999, the Company had fulfilled its shipment and other contractual  obligations;
the Company was able to reflect the $400,00 as license revenue. Ezenia will also
pay $4,000  for each  hardware  unit  ordered,  After 180 days of free  software
upgrade,  the  Company  will  receive  $25,000  per year for any and all updates
purchased by Ezenia. As of April 30, 2000, The Company had received zero dollars
under this  agreement.  The Company agrees to indemnify,  defend and hold Ezenia
harmless  from and against any claims,  actions,  or demands  alleging  that the
software in its unmodified form directly infringes or  misappropriates  any U.S.
patent,  trademark,  copyright,  trade secret and proprietary right of any third
party. Breach of contract for any cause or action under this agreement,  will be
solely  limited to the actual dollar amount that either party  received from the
other as a result of this agreement.


Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of pending trademarks and patents.  The costs incurred
have  been  capitalized  and  will be  amortized  over  the  useful  life of the
trademarks and patents once they have been approved.

Management has deemed that the pending  trademarks have no future use due to the
sale of some of the Company's assets as described in Note 12. The cost of $5,884
for  pending  trademarks  has  been  written  off as a  charge  to loss on asset
dispositions during the year ended April 30, 2000.

Income Taxes

The  principal  items  accounting  for the  differences  between  the income tax
benefits  computed using the United States  statutory rate and the provision for
income taxes are as follows:


                                                                             F-9
<PAGE>

                                                    April 30, 2000

Federal tax benefit at statutory rate                $  (442,615)
State tax benefit, net of federal effect                (123,672)
Research and experimentation credits                    (   --  )

Unutilized net operating losses                          566,287
                                                         -------
Total                                                $      --


Net deferred tax assets comprise:

Net operating loss carry forwards                    $ 2,677,112
Research and experimentation credit carry forwards       175,408
Valuation allowance                                   (2,852,520)
                                                      -----------
Net deferred tax assets                              $      --

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the deferred tax assets in
the future tax returns, the Company has placed a valuation allowance against its
otherwise  recognizable  net  deferred  tax assets.  Should the Company  achieve
profitability,  these  deferred  tax assets may be  available  to offset  future
income tax liabilities and expenses.

At April 30, 2000 the Company had the  following  carry  forwards  available  to
reduce future taxable income and income taxes:

                                                       Federal        State
Net operating loss carry forwards                    $ 6,154,281   $ 6,152,913
Research and experimentation credit carry forwards   $   124,240   $    51,168

The federal and state net operating loss carry forwards  expire through the year
2020, and the research and experimentation  credit carry forwards expire through
the year 2019.

For  federal  and state tax  purposes,  the  Company's  net  operating  loss and
research and  experimentation  credit carry forwards could be subject to certain
limitations on annual utilization if certain changes in ownership were to occur,
as defined by federal and state tax laws.

The Company has a current tax liability to the State of Massachusetts payable in
the amount of $456 due to the jurisdiction's minimum excise tax.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Uncertainties

Financial  instruments  that  potentially  subject  the  Company to  significant
concentrations of risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, short-term
investments  and trade accounts  receivable.  The Company places its cash,  cash
equivalents,  and short-term  investments in market rate accounts with reputable
financial  institutions.  At times, such deposits in the United States may be in
excess of FDIC insured limits.  Cash  equivalents may present risk of changes in
value because of interest rate changes.

The trade  accounts  receivable  risk is limited  due to the breath of  entities
comprising the Company's  direct customer base and that of its  distributors and
also their dispersion across different industries and geographical  regions. The
Company  evaluates  the credit  worthiness  of  customers,  as  appropriate  and
maintains an adequate allowance for potential uncollectible accounts.


                                                                            F-10
<PAGE>


The Company has entered into numerous distribution  agreements both domestically
and internationally in order to obtain  distribution  channels for its products.
These agreements  generally provide lower and favorable pricing  arrangements in
comparison to a direct or retail sale. These agreements provide the distributors
in some cases,  advertising  allowances,  volume discounts,  payment  discounts,
pricing protection for a limited amount of time in most cases 60 days notice and
standard  warranty  guarantee,  one year domestically and in some cases eighteen
months  internationally.  Some of the agreements require minimum annual sales to
maintain  favorable  pricing terms.  All agreements are subject to annual review
and  contain  release  clauses  for  non-performance  without  penalty for early
terminations.

The Company has entered into an international  distribution agreement that calls
for all payments to be made by the distributor in the currency of the New Taiwan
dollar. As of April 30, 2000, there is immaterial  exposure associated with this
agreement.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount for the Company's financial instruments,  including cash and
cash equivalents,  accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities
approximate  fair value because of the general  immediate or short term maturity
of these financial instruments.


Accounting For Stock-Based Compensation

Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No. 123,  "Accounting  for
Stock-Based Compensation",  encourages but does not require, companies to record
compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The
Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the
intrinsic value method prescribed in

Accounting  Principles  Board  Opinion No. 25,  "Accounting  for Stock Issued to
Employees," and related interpretations.  Accordingly, the compensation cost for
stock  options is measured as the excess,  if any, of the quoted market price of
the  Company's  stock at the date of the grant  over the amount an  employee  or
consultant must pay to acquire the stock.  As of April 30, 2000,  there has been
no compensation  expense  recognized  because the grant price exceeds the market
price.


Advertising

Advertising  costs  amounting to $113,577 for the year ended April 30, 2000 were
charged to marketing and selling as incurred.

The Company has entered into a  co-marketing  agreement  with a publicly  traded
company to cooperate in the development of  teleconferencing  solutions  through
joint  use of both  companies'  products.  This  agreement  was  for  one  year,
beginning  April  23,  1998 and  ending  on April 23,  1999,  with  terms for an
automatic  annual  renewal.  Both  companies  agreed to create  joint  marketing
resources to market their bundled products.  These efforts include,  but are not
limited to: joint training sessions,  application notes, demonstration programs,
road-show promotions, trade show exhibits,  advertising, trade journal articles,
and demonstration units. This agreement has been terminated as of July 5, 2000.


                                                                            F-11
<PAGE>

Warranty Cost and Reserve

The Company  generally  provides a warranty for up to one year on domestic sales
and eighteen  months for  international  sales at no extra charge.  A reserve is
recorded for probable  costs in connection  with  warranties  based on Company's
experience.  The accrued warranty costs were $3,949 for the year ended April 30,
2000.  Warranty cost directly  charged to cost of goods sold were $6,677 for the
year ended April 30, 2000.


Commissions

Effective   October  1,  1999,   the  Company   entered   into  a  Full  Service
Representative   Agreement  with  USA  Marketing   Group,   Inc.  in  which  the
Representative  would be its exclusive sales representative to solicit orders on
all of the Company's  product in the  Continental  United States,  for 5% of net
invoice price of products.  The original agreement was effective October 1, 1999
with either party able to cancel the agreement by giving 60 days advance  notice
to the other  party.  On January 22,  2000,  the Company and the  Representative
amended the agreement so that the Representative starting March 1, 2000 would be
paid a monthly  consulting  fee of $2,500 for the period  March 1, 2000  through
June 1, 2000 and an advance  commission  of $2,500 a month from the period March
1, 2000  through June 1, 2000.  The Company  will deduct the advance  commission
from the monthly  commission due. During the year ended April 30, 2000, all fees
paid to the  Representative  for $10,598  have been  expensed to  marketing  and
selling.  As of June 1, 2000  either  party can again  cancel the  agreement  by
giving 60 days  advance  notice to the other  party.  As of June 30,  2000,  the
Company verbally notified Representative that the agreement was terminated.


Note 2. - Revolving Line of Credit

At April 30, 2000, the Company has a $3,500,000  revolving line of credit with a
stockholder of which  $2,892,000 was outstanding and payable to the stockholder.
Available credit at April 30, 2000 was $608,000. The agreement is collateratized
by inventory,  chattel paper,  equipment,  general  intangibles and fixtures and
insurance  proceeds  associated with these described items.  All rents,  monies,
payments,  other rights arising out of a sale, lease or other disposition of any
of the property described above is considered  substitute  collateral.  Starting
October 1, 1999, all interest due on the outstanding line of credit was paid and
further  interest is to be calculated  monthly on the outstanding line as of the
first day of the month. The revolving line of credit bears a fixed interest rate
at 8.5%. The Company may borrow against the line of credit until the stockholder
makes demand. At that time, the full amount of the revolving line of credit will
be due and payable.  The revolving  line of credit  contains  certain  financial
covenants  including  events  of  default  which  allow  the  stockholder  other
collateral  including the right of set off against  checking,  savings and other
investment  accounts of the corporation,  continuing  security  agreements which
remain in effect even though all or any part of the indebtedness is paid in full
and even  though for a period of time the  corporation  may not be  indebted  to
stockholder;  the  Company  cannot bulk sale  assets,  transfer  assets,  assign
collateral or borrow without prior written consent of stockholder  which consent
would not be unreasonably  withheld.  This revolving line of credit is senior in
terms of collateral to all  preferred and common stock issued,  outstanding  and
authorized.

As a result of obtaining this  revolving  line of credit from a stockholder  the
existing  demand note payable from the same  stockholder  for  $2,150,000  as of
September 1, 1999 has been converted to this new revolving line of credit.  Cash
paid for interest was $195,104 in 2000.


Note 3. - Related Party Transactions

A  stockholder  from  Pinway  Electronics  Co.,  Ltd.  (Pinway),  who is  also a
stockholder in ClearOne, was hired by the Company to perform consulting services
in exchange for stock options  totaling 25,000 shares of common stock,  5,000 of
which was contingent upon the delivery of strategic products or services.  As of
April 30, 2000 none of these options have been exercised.


                                                                            F-12

Ezenia, Inc.


Note 4. - Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Agreements

The Company leases its primary facility under a  non-cancelable  operating lease
that expires in March 2003. The agreement provides for annual increments of rent

                                                              =========

The lease  expense  for this  agreement  was $4,738 for the year ended April 30,
2000.


Stock Warrants

Warrants to purchase  2,000,000  shares of the Company's common stock at a price
per  share of $2 have  been  granted  to the  Company's  first  round  investors
exercisable  on or before any initial public  offering date,  which is yet to be
determined.


Note 5. - Stock Option Plans

In 1997, the Company  completed its initial  private  offering (the offering) of
its common stock selling 2,000,000 shares at $2 per share.

In 1997,  the Company  established a stock option plan which is currently  being
treated  as a  non-qualified  stock  option  plan.  The  Company  has set  aside
2,715,000 shares of its common stock for this plan. A certain  percentage of the
shares granted will be vested after one year with the remaining shares under the
stock  option plan vesting at 6.25%  quarterly  thereafter  until fully  vested.
Another  portion of the  original  award  under the stock  option  plan would be


                                                                            F-13
<PAGE>


granted  after one year and based on the  holder's  performance  as  reviewed by
his/her  immediate  supervisor and then the  compensation  committee.  The final
portion of the award under the stock option plan will be granted after two years
and will be based on the  Company's  performance  as  determined  by its  annual
audited financial  statements.  Vesting is strictly  conditional on the employee
remaining a full-time employee. If an individual ceases to be an employee of the
company he has 90 days to exercise any vested options that they may have had. As
of April 30,  2000,  no one who has left the  company  has  exercised  any stock
options.  Further  restrictions  may apply as  detailed in the  Company's  stock
option plan. The option price is determined by the compensation  committee based
on the Company's current financial status.

In  addition,  the Company has set aside  85,000  shares of its common stock for
consultants  who  perform  key  services  to the  Company.  The option  price is
determined  by  the  compensation  committee  based  on  the  Company's  current
financial  status.  Vesting  is  determined  on  a  case-by-case  basis  by  the
compensation committee


Note 6. - Recapitalization and Capital Structure

On January 12, 1999,  the Company  undertook a  recapitalization  of its capital
structure by unanimous consent of the stockholders. The authorized capital stock
of the Company was changed  from  10,000,000  shares of common  stock,  $.01 par
value to the following:

        11,000,000 shares common stock, $.01 par value;
        2,000,000 shares Series B preferred stock, $.01 par value; and
        1,000,000 shares Series A preferred stock, $.01 par value.

The  founders  retained  their  class of shares  as Common  Stock for a total of
3,200,000  shares,  $.01 par value.  The first round  investors  converted their
total of 2,000,000  shares of Common Stock in a one for one conversion to Series
B Preferred Stock retaining the same par value and paid-in capital value. Series
A Preferred  Stock was issued in the year ended April 30, 1999 as a second round
of equity financing.

Common Stock:

The voting,  dividend, and liquidation rights of the holders of Common Stock are
subject to and qualified by the rights of the holders of the Series B and Series
A Preferred  Stock. The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote for
each share held at all meetings of stockholders  (and written actions in lieu of
meetings).  Dividends  may be declared  and paid on the Common  Stock from funds
lawfully  available  therefore as and when  determined by the Board of Directors
and subject to any preferential dividend rights of any then outstanding Series B
or Series A Preferred Stock. Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company,
whether  voluntary or  involuntary,  holders of Common Stock will be entitled to
receive all assets of the Company available for dissolution to its stockholders,
after paying revolving line of credit and subject to any preferential  rights of
any then outstanding Series B or Series A Preferred Stock.


Series B Preferred Stock:

Scheduled  to start on January 1, 2000,  the  holders of the Series B  Preferred
Stock  will be  entitled  to receive  dividends  at the rate of 4% of the sum of
$2.00 (the "Original  Purchase Price") whenever funds are legal available as and
when  declared  by the  Board of  Directors.  As of the date of these  financial
statement, no dividends have been declared.  Dividends on the Series B Preferred
Stock will be non-cumulative.  In the event of any liquidation,  dissolution, or
winding  up of the  Company,  the  holders of Series B  Preferred  Stock will be
entitled to receive in  preference to the holders of the Common Stock and amount
equal to $2.00 per  share.  Holders  of Series B  Preferred  Stock will have the
right to convert their shares of Series B Preferred Stock, at the option of such
holder,  at any time into shares of Common Stock.  The total number of shares of
Common  Stock into which  shares of Series B  Preferred  Stock may be  converted
initially  will be  determined  by dividing the Original  Purchase  Price by the
conversion price (the "Conversion  Price"). The initial Conversion Price will be
the Original  Purchase Price. The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment
to reflect  stock  dividends,  stock  splits,  and similar  events on a weighted

average  basis  to  prevent  dilution  in the  event  that  the  Company  issues
additional shares at a purchase price less than the applicable Conversion Price.
The Series B Preferred Stock will be automatically  converted into Common Stock,
at the then  applicable  Conversion  Price,  upon the  closing  of a sale of the
Company's  shares of Common Stock pursuant to a firm  commitment of underwritten
public offering by the Company at a public offering price per share. Except with
respect to the election of Directors of the Company,  each holder of outstanding
shares of Series B  Preferred  Stock  shall be  entitled  to the number of votes
equal to the number of shares of Common  Stock into which the shares of Series B
Preferred Stock are convertible.

As long as there is at least  50% of the  Series  B  Preferred  Stock  initially
issued  outstanding,  the  consent of the  holders of at least a majority of the
issued and outstanding Series B Preferred Stock voting as a separate class shall
be required  for (1)  changing  corporation's  articles of  organization  and/or
by-laws  which would  effect the rights of the Series B Preferred  shareholders;
(2)  creating  a new class of stock with a greater  preference  or  priority  to
Series B as to dividends or assets;  (3) creating a convertible  bond,  notes or
other  obligations  that had a greater  preference or priority to Series B as to
dividends or assets; (4) a corporate  reorganization that would result in common
stock  having a greater  preference  or priority to Series B as to  dividends or
assets;  (5)  redemption  of  common  stock  except  from  employees,  advisors,
officers,  directors,  consultants  and service  providers which terms have been
approved by the Board of Directors; and (6) merger, sale or consolidation of the
corporation.


Series A Preferred Stock:

Scheduled  to start on January 1, 2000,  the  holders of the Series A  Preferred
Stock  will be  entitled  to receive  dividends  at the rate of 4% of the sum of
$2.60 (the "Original  Purchase Price") whenever funds are legal available as and
when  declared  by the  Board of  Directors.  As of the date of these  financial
statements,  no dividends have been  declared.  No dividend shall be paid on the
common stock at a rate greater than the rate at which  dividends are paid on the
Series B Preferred  Stock.  Dividends  on the Series A  Preferred  Stock will be
non-cumulative.  In the event of any liquidation,  dissolution, or winding up of
the Company, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive
in  preference  to the holders of the Common Stock and amount equal to $2.60 per
share.  Holders of Series A Preferred Stock will have the right to convert their
shares of Series A Preferred  Stock,  at the option of such holder,  at any time
into shares of Common  Stock.  The total  number of shares of Common  Stock into
which  shares of Series A Preferred  Stock may be  converted  initially  will be
determined by dividing the Original  Purchase Price by the conversion price (the
"Conversion  Price"). The initial Conversion Price will be the Original Purchase
Price.  The  Conversion  Price will be subject to  adjustment  to reflect  stock
dividends,  stock  splits,  and similar  events on a weighted  average  basis to
prevent  dilution in the event that the Company  issues  additional  shares at a
purchase price less than the applicable Conversion Price. The Series A Preferred
Stock will be automatically  converted into Common Stock, at the then applicable
Conversion  Price,  upon the closing of a sale of the Company's shares of Common
Stock  pursuant to a firm  commitment  of  underwritten  public  offering by the
Company  at a public  offering  price per  share.  Except  with  respect  to the
election of  Directors  of the  Company,  each holder of  outstanding  shares of
Series A  Preferred  Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the
number of shares of Common  Stock into  which the  shares of Series A  Preferred
Stock are convertible.

As long as there is at least  50% of the  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  initially
issued  outstanding,  the  consent of the  holders of at least a majority of the
issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Stock voting as a separate class shall
be required  for (1)  changing  corporation's  articles of  organization  and/or

Note 7. - 401(k) Savings Plan

The  Company   adopted  a  401(k)  savings  plan  (the  savings  plan)  covering
substantially all of its employees,  subject to the age requirement being 21 for
participation.  Under the savings plan,  eligible employees may contribute up to
the maximum allowed by the IRS from their  compensation to the savings plan. The
Company matching contribution is zero at this time. However, the Company has the
option  to  make  profit  sharing   contributions  to  the  plan  subject  to  a
predetermined vesting schedule in the future.


Note 8. - Going Concern

The conditions of recurring  operating  losses,  working  capital  deficiencies,
negative  cash  flows  from  operations,   seeking  new  methods  of  financing,
substantial  dependency  on the success of a particular  product,  employee turn
over, and need to significantly  revise  operations,  indicated that the Company
was unable to continue as a going  concern for the year ended April 30, 1999. As
a result of the subsequent sale of a significant  amount of the Company's assets
on July 5, 2000,  the Company has  obtained  enough  liquidity  to continue as a
going concern for the  immediate  future.  A stockholder  has agreed to fund the
financial requirements of the Company if the operating expenses exceed available
cash for the foreseeable future.


Note 9. - Comprehensive Income

In June of 1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued SFAS No.130,
"Reporting  Comprehensive  Income."  SFAS  No.  130  established  standards  for
reporting  comprehensive  income and its  components  in a financial  statement.
Comprehensive  income as defined  included  all  changes in equity  (net  asset)
during a period  from  non-owner  sources.  Examples  of items to be included in
comprehensive  income,  which are  excluded  from net  income,  include  foreign
currency    translation    adjustments    and   unrealized    gains/losses    on
available-for-sale  securities.  There were no adjustments required for the year
ended April 30, 2000.


Note 10. - Segment Reporting

Effective  April 30, 2000, the Company adopted SFAS No.131,  "Disclosures  About
Segments of an  Enterprise  and Related  Information."  SFAS No.131  established
standards for reporting information by public companies about operating segments
in annual  financial  statements.  It also  established  standards  for  related
disclosure about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.

Operating  segments  are  defined as  components  of an  enterprise  about which
separate financial  information is available that is evaluated  regularly by the
chief  operating  decision  maker,  or decision making group, in deciding how to
allocate resources and in assessing  performance.  The Company's chief operating
decision-maker is the chief executive officer of the Company.

The Company is predominately a speakerphone manufacturer with its products being
distributed  and  manufactured  worldwide  for the year ended April 30, 2000. In
addition,  the Company licenses its technology,  and finalized its first license
to one customer during the year ended April 30, 2000.

Financial information about the segments:

                               Products       License Agreement
Revenue                      $   98,588              $  400,000
Cost of Goods Sold               77,994                    --



                                                                            F-16

Note 11. - Nonrecurring Charge

During the fiscal  year ended April 30,  2000.  The  Company  evaluated  several
aspects of its business and made strategic  decisions that effected  portions of
the Company's  business.  The Company moved to  concentrate  its business on its
newer  speakerphone  version and  Microphone  Pads.  This allowed the Company to
narrow its focus on key equipment  distributors  and related  products for these
distributors.  As a result an evaluation  and analysis of the Company's  license
agreements,  pending trademarks and certain patents was conducted.  Based on the
projected  earnings and undiscounted cash flow analysis of the affected business
activities,  the Company  determined  the fair value of certain assets should be
adjusted. Accordingly, certain assets were revalued and $162,635 was recorded as
a  nonrecurring,   non-cash  charge.  The  $162,635  consists  of  the  $156,751
impairment  of  license  agreements,  and  the  $5,884  write  down  of  pending
trademarks  charged  to  loss  on  asset  dispositions.  The  Company  does  not
anticipate  any  significant  cash charge,  beyond those  recorded,  to complete
implementation of its new strategic direction.


Note 12. - Subsequent Event

On or about May 23,  2000 the Company  entered  into a vendor  agreement  with a
vendor for the  period  July 7, 2000  through  June 30,  2001  which  includes a
minimum purchase amount by the vendor of $350,000.  This order is subject to the
terms of the  agreement  which  include,  but are not limited to, 120 days price

vendor  price  offered  to any other  vendor,  9% rebate on the  $350,000  gross
purchase price, a $5,000 slotting fee per SKU, a 10% gross purchase discount for
Market Development Fund and a 1.1% gross dock allowance on receipt of goods from
vendor.

On July 5, 2000, the Company agreed to sell Gentner  Communications  Corporation
(the Buyer)  effectively all of its assets including property and equipment such
as but not limited to equipment, furniture and fixtures, leasehold improvements,
certain inventories of raw materials and supplies, goods in process and finished
goods, intellectual property rights developed and patented,  licenses and rights
thereunder,  remedies against infringements thereof, and rights to participation
of enforceable  interests therein under the laws of all jurisdictions.  Acquired

actions, choices in actions, rights of recovery, creative materials, advertising
and promotional materials, distribution agreements, vendor agreements subject to
only those  liabilities  and  obligations  pursuant to contracts  assumed by the
Buyer as part of the acquired  assets.  In addition,  all rights and obligations

          denominator was $15.40 which is the adjusted trading price for the ten
          (10) trading days between May 1, 2000 and May 10, 2000

As  mentioned  there will be  escrowed  $100,000 in cash and  additional  29,591
Buyer's  shares  from the  129,871  that the  Company is  entitled to during the

                                                                            F-17
