2.  Summary  of  Significant  Accounting  Policies

The  accounting  policies  followed  by the Company, and the methods of applying
those  policies,  which  affect  the  determination  of  its financial position,
results  of  operations  or  cash  flows  are  summarized  below:

Advertising  and  Marketing  Costs
----------------------------------

Advertising  production  costs,  except for costs associated with marketing, are
charged  to  operations  when  incurred.  Marketing  costs  are  related  to
direct-response  marketing and costs are capitalized as required by SOP 93-7 and
amortized.  Marketing  Costs Direct response marketing costs, primarily incurred
through  contracted  telephone solicitation of prospective accounts are deferred
and  amortized  over the average life of the new accounts, which is normally six
to  eight  months.


Cash  and  Cash  Equivalents
----------------------------

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  include all short-term liquid investments that are
readily  convertible  to  known  amounts of cash and have original maturities of
three  months  or  less.  At  times  cash deposits may exceed government insured
limits.

Concentration  of  Credit  Risk

Federal  Depository  Insurance  Corporation  (FDIC)  insures  accounts  at  each
institution  up  to $100,000. The Company maintains investment balances with two

accounts  at  these  firms  up  to  $500,000.

Income  Taxes
-------------

Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  109, Accounting for Income
Taxes,  which,  among other things, requires that recognition of deferred income
taxes be measured by the provisions of enacted tax laws in effect at the date of
the  financial  statements.

Revenue  Recognition
--------------------

The  Company's  revenues  are  derived  principally  from long distance service.
Revenue is recorded when service is rendered, which is when a long distance call
is  completed, and is recorded net of an allowance for certain amounts which the
Company  estimates  will  be  refunded, rebated, uncollectable, or not billable.

Fair  Value  of  Financial  Instruments
---------------------------------------

The  carrying  amounts  for  cash,  investments  in marketable securities, trade
accounts  receivable,  trade  accounts  payable,  accrued  liabilities and notes
payable,  approximate  their  fair  value  due  to  the  short maturity of these
instruments.  The  Company  has determined that the recorded amounts approximate
fair  value.

Net  Income  Per  Share
-----------------------

Net  loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the year. The Company has adopted the provisions
of  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share.

Use  of  Estimates
------------------

The  preparation  of  financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting  principles  requires  management  to make estimates and assumptions.
This may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
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.

Stock-Based  Compensation
-------------------------

Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation  ("SFAS  123"),  established accounting and disclosure requirements
using  a  fair-value  based  method  of  accounting  for  stock-based  employee
compensation.  In  accordance with SFAS 123, the Company has elected to continue
accounting  for  stock  based  compensation  using  the  intrinsic  value method
prescribed  by  Accounting  Principles  Board  Opinion  No.  25.

ITEM  2.     MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
             RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

     Except  for  historical  information  contained  herein,  the  following
discussion  contains  forward-looking  statements  that  involve  risks  and
uncertainties.  Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
statements  regarding  future  events and our plans and expectations. Our actual
results  could differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could
cause  or  contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those
discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB or incorporated herein by reference. See
"Special  Note  on  Forward-Looking  Statements"  below.

OVERVIEW

     American  Nortel Communications, Inc. ("ANC" or "Company") is a reseller of
1-Plus and 1-800, 888 long-distance telecommunications services.  ANC resells to
it's  customers  long  distance  telephone time that it purchases or leases from
other  long  distance  carriers.

     ANC  resells  long  distance  telephone  services  to  both  business  and
residential  customers.  As a reseller it purchases or leases long distance time
from  other  carriers and resells that time to its customers. ANC is charged for
the  time  it  uses  beyond certain minimum requirements and in turn charges its
customers  a  certain  amount  per  minute. To a large extent, ANC's profits are
dependent  upon the spread between its cost per minute and the amount it charges
its  customers,  and  its  results  of  operations  are  directly  affected  by
competition,  which  in recent years has lowered the amount resellers can charge
customers.  ANC out-sources its sales and marketing to telemarketers and it pays
those  telemarketers  a certain amount for each new customer obtained. We do not
direct-bill  our  customers,  but  rather we utilize the Local Exchange Carriers
(LEC)  which  provide  telephone  services  to  our long-distance customers, and
performs  billing  and  collections.  LEC's  receive  a fee based upon a certain
percentage of amount collected. Management believes that the practice of billing
through  LECs  has a substantial advantage since it increases the likelihood and
promptness  of  our  collections.

     We  have  determined  to  change  our  1  plus  and  800, 888 long distance
strategy.  ANC has determined that profit margins from the long distance service
offerings  that  it  has  achieved  in the past, has narrowed to an unacceptable
extent.  The  long  distance  market  as  a  whole has experienced a decrease in
profit  margins  due  to  the  very  aggressive  pricing  competition  that  has
characterized  the  industry during the last several years.  ANC has changed its
business  endeavors  to  reflect the dynamic telecommunications market.  ANC has
ceased  its  marketing  efforts  in  long  distance  service  offerings  and has
dedicated  that  portion  of  its  operating  budget  to  investments  in  other
companies,  particularly  in  early  stage companies that are in need of working
capital.

Investments  in  Marketable  Securities

Investments in marketable securities consisted of the following at September 30,
2000:

                                        Gross Unrealized       Fair
                            Cost       Gains       Losses      Value
                         ----------  ----------  ----------  ----------
      Equity securities  $3,657,879  $4,054,617  $(234,875)  $7,477,621

     We  have  invested in common stock and related warrants of several publicly
traded  companies.  At  September  30,  2000,  our  investment  in  marketable
securities  is  made  in  seven different companies.  The investment in one such
company's  securities  represents  approximately  40% of the estimated aggregate
fair  value  of  all investments in marketable securities at September 30, 2000.

designer  clothes  at  competitive  prices.

     The  entities  in  which  we  have  investments  are generally small, under
capitalized corporations whose stock is traded in the over-the-counter and NASDQ
markets.  The issuers may have limited operating histories and limited revenues.
ANC  intends  to  seek  an  investment  in an operating subsidiary to offset the
reduction  in  profit  margins.  However,  we  have not presently identified the
business in which we intend to invest our resources in an effort to mitigate the
effects  of  the declining profitability in the long distance reseller business.

     On  September  12,  2000  ANC purchased 150,000 common shares of PTN Media,

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

     Revenues  for  the  quarter  ended  September  30,  2000 were $3,199,036 as
compared  to  during  the  quarter  ended September 30, 1999 of $6,763,404.  The
decrease  in  revenue  is principally the result of decrease of our basic 1 Plus
and  800,  888  long  distance  service.  We have focused our growth and revenue
towards the investment in other OTC: Bulletin Board and NASDQ Companies. We have
maintained  our  call volumes in the telecommunication's industry and maintained
our revenues. However, we have experienced continued increases in competition in
the  U.S.  domestic  market,  and  continue to seek joint venture and investment
acquisition  opportunities to potentially lessen the effects of cost competition
in  the  domestic  telecommunication  market.
 .
  Cost  of  sales  for  the  quarter  ended September 30, 2000 was $2,587,806 as
compared  to  quarter  ended September 30, 1999 of $4,595,306. Our cost of sales
has  decreased  in  relation  to  the  decrease  in  revenues.  Cost of sales is
comprised  of  long-distance fees we pay providers of long-distance service that
we  resell, telemarketing costs, allowances for bad debt, and our billing costs.
Billing  costs  include  fees  for  services  provided by LECs and other outside
parties  to  transfer  and  organize  our  customer  acquisition,  billing,  and
collection  data.

     Selling  expenses  for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 was $111,262 as
compared  to quarter ended September 30, 1999 of $363,217. Selling expenses were
primarily  the  costs  associated with the cost of acquiring customers.  We have
decreased  our  marketing  efforts  as  competition  in  the  U.S.  domestic
long-distance  markets  increase.  We are seeking joint venture opportunities to
counter  act  the  competition  in  the  telecommunication  industry.


                                        8
<PAGE>
     General  and  administrative  expenses for quarter ended September 30, 2000
was  $278,158 as compared to quarter ended September 30, 1999 of $289,925. These
costs  are  primarily  related  to  customer  service staffing, which we believe

OTHER  CONSIDERATIONS

     There  are numerous factors that affect our business and the results of its
operations.  Sources  of  these  factors  include  general economic and business
conditions,  federal  and state regulation of our business activities, the level
of  demand  for  our  services,  the  level  and intensity of competition in the
telecommunications  industry  and  the  pricing  pressures  that may result, our
ability  to  develop  new  services  based on new or evolving technology and the
market's acceptance of those new services, our ability to timely and effectively
manage periodic product transitions, the services, customer and geographic sales
mix  of  any  particular  period,  and  our  ability  to continue to improve our
infrastructure (including personnel and systems) to keep pace with the growth in
its  overall  business  activities.

Factors  that  may affect our business is the regulations by Securities Exchange
Commissions related to the possibility that we could be treated as an investment
company.  The  Securities  Exchange  Commission  regulation  states  that if our
available-for-sale investments fair market value exceeds our operating assets we
could  be classified as an investment company.  However, the Securities Exchange
Commissions  has  been  requested  by  various  companies  to reconsidering this
regulation.
