EDD HELMS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.       GENERAL

The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  condensed financial statements of the
Company  have been  prepared in  accordance  with Rule 10-01 of  Regulation  S-X
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange  Commission and do not include all of
the  information  and  footnotes  required  by  generally  accepted   accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,  the
Company  has made  all  adjustments  necessary  for a fair  presentation  of the
results of the  interim  periods,  and such  adjustments  consist of only normal
recurring  adjustments.  The results of operations for such interim  periods are
not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year.

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Effective July 30, 1999, the  shareholders  of Hotelecopy  approved an agreement
and plan of merger by and between Hotelecopy,  Inc. and Edd Helms,  Incorporated
whereby  Edd  Helms,  Incorporated  was  merged  with and into  Hotelecopy,  and
Hotelecopy's name was changed to Edd Helms Group, Inc. The trading symbol is now
listed as EDDH, effective January 7, 2000.

2.       RECLASSIFICATION

Certain  amounts  recorded in the three and six months ended  November 30, 1998,
have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

3.       BUSINESS COMBINATION

On July 8, 1999,  Hotelecopy  filed a proxy in  connection  with an  anticipated
solicitation  of its  shareholders'  proxies to approve an agreement and plan of
merger with Edd Helms,  Incorporated,  a Florida corporation ("EHI"). The merger
was  accounted  for as a reverse  acquisition  purchase,  as if EHI had acquired
Hotelecopy.   The  shareholders  of  EHI  each  received  2,178.6363  shares  of
Hotelecopy's common stock in exchange for each outstanding share of EHI's common
stock they owned.  The proxy statement also provided for the  consideration  and
vote upon the change of  Hotelecopy's  name to Edd Helms Group,  Inc. as well as
consideration   and  vote  upon  an  amendment  to   Hotelecopy's   Articles  of
Incorporation  to increase the number of authorized  shares of its common stock,
par value $.01 per share, to 20,000,000 shares.

The  shareholders'  meeting was held on July 30, 1999,  and all  proposals  were
approved.

The consolidated  condensed financial statements reflect  Hotelecopy's  activity
from the effective date of the reverse  acquisition  only, and the activities of

EDD HELMS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(Unaudited)

5.     NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Net income per  common  share has been  computed  (basic  and  diluted)  for all
periods  presented  and is  based  on the  weighted  average  number  of  shares
outstanding during the period.  There are no common stock equivalents  resulting
from dilutive stock options.

6.       COMMON STOCK

Treasury Stock.  During this quarter the Company  purchased  19,472.73 shares of
its common stock for $4,658,  pursuant to a commitment  with its former employee
stock ownership plan, at a valuation effective as of the last fiscal year-end.

7.      INCOME TAXES

The Company has a net operating loss  carryforward of  approximately  $3,847,500
with  expiration  dates through 2019.  The  utilization of the  carryforward  is
dependent on the Company's ability to generate  sufficient taxable income during
the carryforward periods and no further significant changes in ownership.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

     Certain  statements in this Form 10-QSB,  including  information  set forth
under  Item 2 -  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  or Plan  of  Operation
constitute  'forward-looking  statements'  within  the  meaning  of the  Private
Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act of 1995 (the  Act).  Edd Helms  Group,  Inc.
desires to avail itself of certain  'safe  harbor'  provisions of the Act and is
therefore  including  this special  note to enable us to do so.  Forward-looking
statements in this Form 10-QSB or hereafter included in other publicly available
documents  filed with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission,  reports to our
stockholders and other publicly  available  statements  issued or released by us
involve  known and unknown  risks,  uncertainties  and other factors which could
cause our actual results,  performance  (financial or operating) or achievements
to differ from the future  results,  performance  (financial  or  operating)  or
achievements  expressed  or implied  by such  forward-looking  statements.  Such
future results are based upon  management's  best  estimates  based upon current
conditions and most recent results of operations.

REVENUES EARNED

Revenues  for the six months ended  November  30,  1999,  as compared to the six
months ended November 30, 1998,  increased by approximately 15%. The increase is
a result of a general increase of business,  particularly  service work, and the
addition of business generated by our data communications operations. We have an
ongoing  aggressive   advertising  campaign  and  believe  these  increases  are
primarily due to our advertising campaign.

COST OF REVENUES EARNED

Costs of revenues increased  approximately 17% for the six months ended November
30,  1999,  as  compared  to the same  period in 1998.  There was an increase in
costs, attributable to the increase in revenues, the gross profit for the period
increased  by  approximately  9% as compared  to the same  period in 1998.  This
increase is a result of increased sales and containment of the costs in relation
to those sales.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

Selling,  general and administrative expenses increased by 24% in the six months
ended  November  30, 1999,  as compared to the same period in 1998.  The Company
attributes  a portion of this  increase  to  increased  costs as a result of the
addition of the data communications and of the Hotelecopy operations.

NET INCOME

Net income decreased by 39% during the six-month period ended November 30, 1999,
as compared to the six-month  period ended  November 30, 1998.  This decrease is
principally  the result of an increase in cost of revenues  earned by the merged
company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Edd Helms Group, Inc. had working capital of approximately  $904,051 and a ratio
of current assets to current  liabilities of approximately  1.6 to 1 at November
30,1999.   This  compares  with  the  November  30,  1998  working   capital  of
approximately  $973,250 and a ratio of current assets to current  liabilities of
2.1 to 1. During the  quarter  cash  balances  increased  by 43% while  accounts
receivable  increased by approximately  $272,000.  Accounts payable increased by
approximately $210,000 and customer deposits increased by approximately $51,000.

Historically,  prior to the merger,  Edd Helms, Inc. has financed its operations
and growth with internally  generated working capital.  Our primary  requirement
for capital  (other  than that  related to any future  acquisition)  consists of
purchasing  vehicles,  inventory  and  supplies  used  in the  operation  of the
business,  plus financing of construction  projects which have increased  during
this quarter.

We anticipate  that our cash flow from operations will provide cash in excess of
our normal working capital needs, debt service  requirements and planned capital
expenditures  for  property  and  equipment  in the year  ahead.  We also have a
$250,000 credit line of which $150,000 has been drawn.
