ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         MicroTel International, Inc. (the "Company") has acquired
substantially all of the assets of T-Com, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company, and assumed certain liabilities of T-Com, LLC. The primary assets
acquired include accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets. The
liabilities assumed consist mostly of accounts payable, accrued payroll
expenses and accrued commissions. The assets purchased are valued at
approximately $1,496,000, and the liabilities assumed are valued at
approximately $496,000.

         T-Com, LLC is a manufacturer of high performance digital
transmission test instruments used for the installation and maintenance of
high speed telephone line services for telephone central offices, competitive
local exchange carriers and private communications networks. The Company
intends to use the acquired assets for substantially the same purposes as
such assets were used by T-Com, LLC.

         The acquisition of the assets closed on September 22, 2000 and has
an effective date of August 1, 2000. The Company paid to T-Com, LLC for the
net assets consideration valued at $1,000,000, as itemized below:

    -  150,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company ("Series B
       Shares").

                The Series B Shares become convertible into shares of common
            stock of the Company in three equal lots of 50,000 shares each on
            March 20, 2001, September 20, 2001 and March 20, 2002. Each
            Series B Share will be convertible into ten shares of common
            stock. The Series B Shares have a liquidation preference of $6.40
            per share. The Company may redeem outstanding and unconverted
            Series B Shares for cash at a price per share equal to $7.36 by
            giving 20 days' prior written notice to the holders of Series B
            Shares to be redeemed. If less than all of the Series B Shares
            are to be optionally redeemed, the particular Series B Shares to
            be redeemed shall be selected by lot or by such other equitable
            manner determined by the Company's board of directors. The
            Company may not, however, redeem Series B Shares to the extent
            the Series B Shares are subject to a lock-up, to the extent the
            Company receives a conversion notice of the Series B Shares prior
            to the redemption date, or if there is an insufficient number of
            authorized and reserved shares of common stock for this purpose.
            If the Company fails to pay the redemption price after calling
            any Series B Shares for optional redemption, the Company will
            have no further option to redeem Series B Shares.

                The certificate of designations, preferences and rights
            relating to the Series B Shares provides that in the event the
            authorized number of shares of the Company's common stock is not
            sufficient as of March 20, 2001 to permit the conversion of the
            Series B Shares into shares of common stock as provided for in
            such certificate, then each Series B Share then outstanding would
            become entitled to such number of votes as would provide the
            aggregate number of Series B Shares then outstanding with voting
            rights equal to ten percent of the then outstanding shares of
            common stock for any matter upon which stockholders are entitled
            to vote.

                Currently, the authorized shares of common stock provided for
            in the Company's certificate of incorporation are not sufficient
            to satisfy the Company's various obligations to issue common
            stock, including the Company's obligation to issue shares of
            common stock upon conversion of Series B Shares. The Company has
            filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a proxy
            statement that seeks approval of the Company's stockholders at a
            special meeting to be held on January 16, 2001 for, among other
            things, a proposal that would increase the number of shares of
            the Company's authorized common stock from 25,000,000 to
            50,000,000. If the proposal is approved by the Company's
            stockholders, then the Company will have authorized a sufficient
            number of shares of common stock to allow for conversion or
            redemption of the Series B Shares. However, there can be no
            assurance that this proposal will be approved by the Company's
            stockholders.

       -  Warrants to purchase up to 250,000 shares of the Company's
          common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share, which
          warrants are exercisable for a period of twenty-four months
          following the acquisition closing date of September 22, 2000. The
          warrants contain a cashless exercise feature.

         The consideration described above is valued at approximately
$938,000 for the preferred shares based on a value of $0.6253 per common
share (which was the closing market price of the Company's common stock on
the date of the original letter of intent, July 27, 2000) multiplied by the
1,500,000 common shares into which the preferred shares can be converted. The
warrants have been valued at approximately $62,000 based on a calculation
using the Black-Scholes valuation formula.

         The acquisition is being accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting, with the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed recorded at
their fair values as of the date of acquisition.

         In determining the purchase price for the acquisition, the tangible
net worth and anticipated earnings potential as consolidated under one roof
with our CXR Telcom operation in Fremont, California and the addition of
central office test equipment to our field test equipment product range were
major factors. Also, the Company took into account the value of companies of
similar industry and size to T-Com, LLC, the proprietary technology of T-Com,
LLC, comparable transactions and the market for such companies generally.

         The closing of the acquisition was reported under "Item 5 - Other
Events" on a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
October 5, 2000. After filing the Form 8-K, the Company determined that its
acquisition of T-Com, LLC was a significant acquisition that should have been
reported under "Item 2 - Acquisition or Disposition of Assets." Consequently,
this Amendment No. 1 to Form 8-K discusses the T-Com, LLC acquisition under
Item 2 and contains the required financial statements under Item 7.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


The Members
T-COM, LLC

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of T-COM, LLC as of December 31,
1999 and the related statements of operations, members' deficit and cash flows
for the year 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 audit.

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 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.
We believe that our audit provides 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 T-COM, LLC at December 31, 1999
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year 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 incurred significant operating
losses and negative cash flows from operations during the year ended December
31, 1999. As discussed in Notes 9 and 10, the Company has sold substantially all
of its assets and certain liabilities and essentially remains as a holding
company for certain equity investments. The Company does not expect to generate
any future operating revenues subsequent to September 2000 but will continue to
incur certain administrative expenses. These factors, among others, 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 10. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

   (b)  Next, until capital contributions of the Investor Members have been
        returned, on a pro rata basis based upon their percentage interest

"2000 Investor Members"), the 2000 Investor Members will receive a preferred
return of $1,350,000 prior to all of the distributions noted above.

The LLC agreement was amended in September 2000 (Note 9).

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents consist of all highly liquid investments with an
original maturity of three months or less when purchased.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market (net
realizable value).

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed principally using the
straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets ranging from 3 to 5
years. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while renewals and
betterments are capitalized.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company reviews the carrying amount of its long-lived assets and
identifiable intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not
be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash
flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be
impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the
carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be
disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less
costs to sell. See Note 8.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenues are recorded when products are shipped. All sales are made under the
terms of FOB shipping point.

PRODUCT WARRANTIES

The Company provides warranties for certain of its products for periods of
generally one or two years. Estimated warranty expense is recognized at the time
of the sale.

ADVERTISING COSTS

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was
approximately $43,000, $30,000 (unaudited) and $22,000 (unaudited) for the year
ended December 31, 1999 and the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

INCOME TAXES

The Company has been organized as a Limited Liability Company ("LLC").
Accordingly, the Company has not provided for Federal income taxes since the
liability is that of the individual members. The Company is subject to a nominal
amount of state income taxes.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments" requires all entities to disclose the fair value
of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not
recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair
value. This statement defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount
at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between
willing parties. As of December 31, 1999 and June 30, 2000, the fair value of
all financial instruments approximated carrying value.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair value
because of the short maturity of these items. The Company believes the carrying
amounts of its line of credit and note payable approximate fair value because
the interest rates on these instruments are subject to change with, or
approximate, market interest rates.

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments, which potentially expose the Company to concentration of
credit risk, consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company
places its cash with financial institutions. At times, cash balances may be in
excess of the amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

The Company's accounts receivable results from sales to a broad customer base.
The Company extends credit to its customers based upon an evaluation of the
customer's financial condition and credit history and generally does not require
collateral. The Company has not experienced significant write-offs or bad debt
and actual credit losses are provided for in the financial statements and
consistently have been within management's expectations.

The Company had sales to one customer which represented approximately 10% of
net sales for the year ended December 31, 1999. The accounts receivable
balance from this and one other customer was approximately 22% and 12%,
respectively of the Company's accounts receivable at December 31, 1999.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS
130"). SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1997. The Company had no comprehensive income items to report for all
periods presented.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" ("SFAS No. 131"). SFAS No.131 requires that companies report
selected segment information in annual financial statements and requires
companies to report selected segment information in interim financial
statements. The Company operates solely in one operating segment; the design,
development, manufacture and sale of telecommunications test equipment.

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of June 30,
2000, and the results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June
30, 2000 and 1999. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging
Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"), which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts (collective referred to as derivatives), and for
hedging activities. SFAS No 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for
all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company
currently does not engage in, nor does it expect to engage in, derivative or
hedging activities and, accordingly, the Company anticipates there will be no
impact to its financial statements.

In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued SOP
No. 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities" ("SOP 98-5"). SOP 98-5
requires that all start-up costs related to new operations must be expensed as
incurred. In addition, all start-up costs that were capitalized in the past must
be written off when SOP 98-5 is adopted. The adoption of SOP 98-5 did not have a
material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements ("SAB 101"). SAB
101 summarizes certain areas of the Staff's views in applying generally accepted
accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. The
Company believes that its current revenue recognition policies comply with SAB
101.

</TABLE>


(4) LINE OF CREDIT

The Company has a line of credit with a bank. The credit line is collateralized
by substantially all assets of the Company, bears interest at the bank's prime
rate (8.5% at December 31, 1999) plus 2% and is payable on demand. Borrowings
are based upon the lesser of $800,000 or 80% of eligible accounts receivable and
40% of net inventory, as defined.

The line of credit originally expired in June 1999 but was extended to January
2000 and then again to April 2000. The line of credit requires maintenance of
certain financial ratios and contains other restrictive covenants. The Company
was not in compliance with certain of such covenants throughout 1999 and 2000.
In connection with the extensions, the covenant violations were waived through
the extension periods. However, no additional borrowings were available and the
Company was required to paydown a portion of the debt with a portion of any net
income, as defined during the extension period. No such paydowns occurred due to
continuing losses. In September 2000, the obligation under the line of credit
and note payable (Note 5) was forgiven by the bank in exchange for a 33%
interest in the Company (Note 9). Due to the transaction described in Note 9,
the entire balance under the line of credit has been classified as a
long-term liability on the accompanying balance sheets.

(5) NOTE PAYABLE

The note payable relates to a $2,200,000 note payable to bank with an
outstanding balance of $2,053,333 at December 31, 1999 and June 30, 2000
(unaudited). The note bears interest at the bank's prime rate (8.5% at
December 31, 1999) plus 2.5%. The note is collateralized by substantially all
assets of the Company and is payable in monthly principal installments of
approximately $37,000, plus interest through maturity in June 2002. As a
result of the Company's non-compliance with certain financial covenants and
as the Company was unable to make the required monthly payments in 1999 and
2000, the note is due on demand. In September 2000, the obligation under the
note and line of credit (Note 4) was forgiven by the bank in exchange for a
33% interest in the Company (Note 9). Due to the transaction described in Note
9, the entire balance under the note payable has been classified as a
long-term liability on the accompanying balance sheets.

During the year ended December 31, 1999 and the six months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999, the Company recognized compensation expense of approximately
$54,000, $25,000 (unaudited) and $28,000 (unaudited), respectively related to
options issued.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation", requires the Company to provide pro forma
information regarding net income as if such compensation cost for the Company's
options had been determined in accordance with the fair value of each option at
the grant date by using the present value approach with the following
assumptions for grants in 1999: 0% dividend yield; a risk free interest rate of
5.5%; and expected lives of 2 years.

Under the accounting provisions of SFAS 123 the Company's net loss for the year
ended December 31, 1999 would have been decreased to the pro forma amount
indicated below:

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

The Limited Liability Company Agreement includes a commitment to pay a
Non-Investor Member $150,000 per year as compensation for services as an
employee of the Company. As of December 31, 1999 and June 30, 2000, the Company
has approximately $174,000 and $255,000 (unaudited), respectively, accrued
related to this commitment. Such amount has been included in accrued payroll and
commissions on the accompanying balance sheets.

LITIGATION

The Company is, from time to time, involved in legal proceedings, claims and
litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. While the amounts claimed
may be substantial, the ultimate liability cannot presently be determined
because of considerable uncertainties that exist. Therefore, it is possible the
outcome of such legal proceedings, claims and litigation could have a material
effect on quarterly or annual operating results or cash flows when resolved in a
future period. However, based on facts currently available, management believes
such matters will not have a material adverse affect on the Company's financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan ("401(k) Plan") covering the
majority of its employees. Participants may make voluntary pretax contributions
to such plans up to the limit as permitted by law. Annual contributions to the
plan by the Company, if any, is discretionary. The Company made no contributions
to the 401(k) Plan during the year ended December 31, 1999 or the six months
ended June 30, 2000 (unaudited) and 1999 (unaudited), respectively.

(8) NON-RECURRING CHARGES; IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL

The Company assesses the recoverability of its goodwill whenever adverse events
or changes in circumstances or business climate indicate that expected future
cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) may not be sufficient to
support recorded goodwill. During 1999, due to a significant decrease in sales,
declines in profit margins and continuing operating losses, the Company
wrote-off the carrying value of goodwill originating with a June 1998
acquisition. This write-down totaled $3,424,569 and was charged to operations.

The Company was previously amortizing the goodwill over 15 years using the
straight-line basis. The statement of operations for the year ended December 31,
1999 and the six months ended June 30, 1999 (unaudited) each includes
approximately $123,000 of goodwill amortization prior to the write-off.

(9)      SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In September 2000, the Company amended its LLC Agreement (the "Amendment") and
concurrently completed the sale of substantially all of its assets and certain
of its liabilities to MicroTel International, Inc. ("MicroTel"), effective
August 1, 2000.

In accordance with the terms of the sales agreement with MicroTel, the Company
received 150,000 Series B Convertible Shares (the "Series B") of MicroTel.
Series B have a liquidation preference of $6.40, are convertible into common
stock of MicroTel at a rate of 10 common shares per Series B and are convertible
in 3 equal lots of 50,000 at six, twelve and eighteen months after the closing
of the sale. The Series B have no dividend rights. In addition, the Company
received warrants to purchase 250,000 common shares of MicroTel for $1.25 per
share, which are exercisable for twenty-four months. The sale excluded any
obligations under the line of credit (Note 4), note payable (Note 5) and
Non-Investor Member payroll accrual (Note 7).

The Company has determined the fair value of the proceeds received and net
assets sold to be approximately equal in value. As such, no significant gain or
loss is expected to be recorded in connection with this sale. The warrants were
valued using a Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: no
dividend yield; expected volatility of 95%; risk-free interest rate of 6%; and
an expected life of two years.

In accordance with the Amendment, the percentage interest of the Company was
amended to:

         -   33% allocated to the Non-Investor Members as a group,
         -   33% allocated to the Investor Members as a group,
         -   33% to a bank.

The 33% interest and $25,000 was allocated to a bank in exchange for the
forgiveness of the line of credit (Note 4) and note payable (Note 5).
Outstanding principal and interest under the line of credit and note payable
totaled $2,620,025 as of the date of exchange. As the only remaining significant
assets of the Company will be the proceeds received on the sale to MicroTel, the
Company will record debt forgiveness of approximately $2.2 million (unaudited)
for the difference between the balance of the debt of $2,620,025 and the bank's
interest in the proceeds received in September 2000.

(9) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (CONTINUED)

The Amendment includes a provision that a Non-Investor Member will forgive his
rights to the accrued payroll liability ($207,907 as of the date of the
Amendment). The Amendment also redefines the purpose of the Company from
designing, developing and selling telecommunications test equipment to holding
the MicroTel Series B and warrants for investment.

(10) GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred significant operating
losses and negative cash flows from operations during the year ended December
31, 1999. As discussed in Notes 9, the Company sold substantially all of its
assets and certain liabilities and essentially remains as a holding company for
certain equity investments. The Company does not expect to generate any future
operating revenues subsequent to September 2000 but will continue to incur
certain administrative expenses. These factors, among others, raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

The Company expects to be able to fund the limited administrative expenses
through the remaining cash not sold as part of the transaction detailed in Note
9 and possible additional member contributions. While the Company is unsure as
to the future distribution of any remaining assets, the MicroTel Series B
Preferred Shares and warrants cannot be fully distributed to the Members until
March 2002.

               PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
               (UNAUDITED, IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)


The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial information reflects
financial information which gives effect to MicroTel International, Inc.'s
("MicroTel" or the "Company") acquisition (the "Acquisition") of
substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of T-COM, Inc.
("T-COM"), which provided for the issuance of 150,000 shares of MicroTel
Series B Preferred Stock and 250,000 MicroTel warrants. The Acquisition
closed on September 22, 2000. The Pro Forma Financial Information included
herein reflects the use of the purchase method of accounting, after giving
effect to the pro forma adjustments discussed in the accompanying notes. The
aggregate value of the consideration given was approximately $1,000,000 which
approximates the fair value of the net assets acquired. Such financial
information has been prepared from, and should be read in conjunction with,
the historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of
MicroTel and T-COM.

The Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations gives effect to the
Acquisition as if it had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period
presented, combining the results of MicroTel for the year ended December 31,
1999 and for the six months ended June 30, 2000 with those of T-COM, for the
same periods.

The Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations presented do not
include any potential cost savings. The Company believes that it may be able to
reduce salaries and related costs and office and general expenses as it
eliminates duplications of overhead. However, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be successful in effecting any such cost savings.

The Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information is unaudited and is not
necessarily indicative of the consolidated results which actually would have
occurred if the above transactions had been consummated at the beginning of the
periods presented, nor does it purport to present the future financial position
and results of operations for future periods. A pro forma balance sheet has not
been provided herein as the Acquisition has been reflected in the Company's
September 30, 2000 balance sheet on Form 10-Q filed on November 20, 2000.
