HOTELECOPY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1 - UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In the opinion of management the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary to present fairly Hotelecopy, Inc. and its Subsidiaries
financial position at February 28, 1998 and the results of its operations and
cash flows for the three months and nine months then ended. The results of
operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the entire year.

The consolidated financial statements of Hotelecopy, Inc. and Subsidiary
included herein do not include all footnote disclosures normally included in
annual consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company's cash flow from
operations has not been sufficient to allow the Company to remain current and in
compliance with its lending arrangements. Cash currently on hand and expected to
be generated by operations during the fiscal year ending May 31, 1998 is not
expected to be sufficient to finance expected working capital and other
projected cash needs during such period. Continued operation of the Company in
the normal course of business is dependent on the Company's ability to obtain
adequate funding of ongoing operations from external or internal sources. This
condition together with the Company's recurring losses from operations and net
capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, the
liquidation value of its assets will not be sufficient to satisfy the Company's
outstanding obligations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2 - RECLASSIFICATION

Certain amounts in the prior years consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTE 3 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

NOTE 4.

The Company received an adverse decision in its litigation against the USPS
(United States Claims Court Case Nos. 91-963C and 91-964C). The Court dismissed
the Company's complaints and ordered that the United States Postal Service
recover $88,400 on its counterclaim against the Company. The Company has charged
to expense and accrued a liability in the amount of $88,400. The Company
appealed this decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit, and on August 17,1993 the Court of Appeals affirmed the decision of the
lower court. On August 31, 1993 the Company petitioned the United States Court
of Appeals for the Federal Circuit for a rehearing and suggestion for a
rehearing in banc. On October 29, 1993, the petition for rehearing was denied
and suggestion for rehearing in banc was declined. On November 5, 1993, a final
judgement was entered against the Company (CIF Claim No.041183) in the amount of
$88,400. The Company does not have the funds to satisfy this judgement.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES

Revenues declined approximately 15% and 20% respectively for the three months
and nine months ended February 28, 1998 compared to the three and nine months
ended February 28, 1997. The decline is attributed to the expiration and
non-renewal of the attended member locations. The Company anticipates that the
attended member locations will continue to decline as contracts expire and this
will materially adversely affect revenues.

COST OF REVENUES

These costs declined approximately 34% for the nine months and 28% for the six
months ended February 28, 1998 as compared to the same period last year. The
decline in costs is attributable to the loss of a major airline carrier and all
the related expenses to maintain telephone lines.

OCCUPANCY COSTS

Occupancy costs were essentially the same for the three months ended February
28, 1998 as compared to the prior year. For the nine months ended February 28,
1998, there was a 5% decrease in occupancy expenses as compared to the prior
year.

PAYROLL, PAYROLL TAXES AND RELATED BENEFITS

These expenses decreased approximately 52% for the three and nine months ended
February 28, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997. The Company has no
marketing or sales employees, reduced its general staff, and had no executive
salaries for the three and nine months ended February 28, 1998.

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE

For the three month period ended February 28, 1998 as compared to the prior
year, there was no change in these expenses. For the nine months ended February
28, 1998 compared to February 28, 1997, there was an approximate 7% decrease.
This decrease can be attributable to a general decrease in expenses.

                                        6

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had a working capital deficit of approximately ($2,300,000) and a
ratio of current assets to current liabilities of approximately .02 to 1 at
February 28, 1998 and February 28, 1997.

The Company is in default with its notes payable and has suspended all payments
due to cash flow restraints. The Company does not have sufficient funds to repay
the debt. The Company is current with all its present vendors and generates
enough cash flow to fund its present operations. However, without the
cooperation of its creditors the Company would not be able to operate. No
assurances can be given that these creditors will continue to cooperate with the
Company to maintain its present level of operation.

The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis,
which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and
liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. However, as a
result of the inability to pay its creditors, such realization of assets and
liquidation of liabilities are subject to significant uncertainty.

The Company's inability to meet its liquidity needs raises substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has
continued to reduce its total operating expenses, however, revenues continue to
decline. The Company continues to seek expansion of revenues earned from self
service FaxMail locations by trying to increase the number of locations offering
these terminals. The Company's limited cash flow does not allow the Company to
invest in new equipment or to support a marketing and sales effort for the
self-service FaxMailer.

The Company has limited liquidity on a short-term basis and, absent additional
funding, will have limited liquidity on a long-term basis. At the present, the
Company does not have any additional sources of liquidity, such as bank or
credit lines. Cash currently on hand and expected to be generated by operations
during the fiscal year ended May 31, 1998, is not expected to be sufficient to
finance expected working capital and other projected cash needs during such
period. Continued operation of the Company in the normal course of business is
dependent on the Company's ability to obtain adequate funding of ongoing
operations from external or internal sources.

If the Company is unable to obtain financing or equity capital, the ability of
the Company to continue as a going concern will be in doubt. Should the Company
be unable to continue as a going concern, the liquidation value of its assets
will not be sufficient to satisfy the Company's outstanding obligations.
