The consolidated financial statements of Hotelecopy, Inc. and Subsidiary
included herein do not include all footnote disclosures normally included in
annual consolidated financial statements and, therefore, should be read in
conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes in
the Company's latest Form 10-KSB. Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can
vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these
interim consolidated financial statements may not be the same as those for
the full year.

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 with
its creditors. Cash currently on hand and expected to be generated by operations
during the fiscal year ending May 31, 1999, 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 deficiency in assets attributable
to common stock 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 year's consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTE 4 - JUDGEMENT

A final judgement in the amount of $88,400 was entered against the Company on
behalf of the United States Postal Service in November of 1993. In the later
part of February, the Company entered into an agreement to settle this claim for
$25,000. The Company had accrued $60,000 for costs associated with the judgement
payable as well as $10,000 for the possible settlement with a credit. Both of
these accruals were liquidated as a result of the settlements and are shown as
extinguishment of debt in these financial statements.

NOTE 5 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 1, 1999, the Company issued a press release indicating that Hotelecopy
has filed a preliminary proxy statement to the SEC for the merger of Hotelecopy,
Inc. with Edd Helms, Inc., whereby, upon approval of the shareholders of
Hotelecopy, Inc., EHI will be merged into Hotelecopy, and the name of Hotelecopy
will be changed to Edd Helms Group, Inc.

ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

REVENUES

Compared to the prior year, revenues declined approximately 31% for the three
months ended February 28, 1999 and approximately 27% for the nine months ended
February 28, 1999. The decline in revenues is attributable to the loss of an
exclusive agreement with a major airline carrier. The Company does not have the
funds to support a marketing and sales effort to further expand its self-service
FaxMailers.

COST OF REVENUES

These costs declined approximately 18% in the three months ended February 28,
1999, and approximately 34% for the nine months ended February 28, 1999, as
compared to the prior year. The decline in these costs are attributable to the
loss of revenues of a major airline carrier and the reduction in expenses
attributable to this revenue.

PAYROLL, PAYROLL TAXES AND RELATED BENEFITS

These expenses increased nominally for the three months ended February 28, 1999,
and approximately 11% for the nine months ended February 28, 1999, as compared
to the prior year. The Company has no marketing or sales employees, staff was
reduced and there are no executive salaries paid.

OCCUPANCY COSTS

There was an approximate 55% and 52% decline in occupancy costs for the three
and nine months ended February 28, 1999, as compared to the prior three months
and nine months ending February 28,1998, respectively. This reduction is
attributable to a discontinuance of an accrual for storage fees and warehouse.

<PAGE>

OTHER SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE

For the three month and nine months ended February 28, 1999, these expenses
increased significantly as compared to the nine months ended February 28, 1998.
This increase is directly attributable to the settlement of outstanding
obligations and the expenses including professional fees related to the proposed
merger with a related company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had a working capital deficit of approximately ($124,000) and a
ratio of current assets to current liabilities of approximately .18 to 1 at
February 28, 1999. This compares with the February 28, 1998, working capital
deficit of approximately ($2,300,000) and a ratio of current assets to current
liabilities of .02 to 1. The Company has a negative net worth and cash flow
which is not sufficient to cover its greatly reduced overhead. On November 5,
1993, a final judgement was issued and a judgement was entered against the
Company by the United States Postal Service in the amount of $88,400. In the
later part of February 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with the
United Postal Service to settle this claim for $25,000. In May of 1998, the
Company charged off liabilities that were time barred pursuant to the Florida
Statute of Limitations, Section 95.11 of the Florida Statutes. The Company is
current with all its present vendors.

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.

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'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. Cash currently on
hand and expected to be generated by operations during the fiscal year ended May
31, 1999, 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. On April 1, 1999, the Company filed a preliminary proxy with the
Securities and Exchange Commission entering into an agreement and plan of merger
with a related company.

If the Company is unable to obtain financing or equity capital or merge as
stated above, the Company will not be able 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.
