Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 1999
(Unaudited)

Note. 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Interim Financial Information

    The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. The accompanying financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company, and notes thereto, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the Company's 1998 Annual Report to Shareholders.

    The financial information furnished reflects, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented.

Reclassifications

    Certain prior year items have been reclassified to conform with the 1999 presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net loss or shareholders' equity.

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

    The accompanying management's discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the audited financial statements of the Company, and notes thereto, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the Company's 1998 Annual Report to Shareholders.

Revenues from Continuing Operations

    The Company's revenues from continuing operations of $501,302 increased $92,794 or 23% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $408,508 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. The Company's revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 were $1,387,964, an increase of $302,835 or 28% from the same period in 1998. The increase in revenue is primarily attributed to the service bureau operations of the Company's TeleSmartTM Data Services. The service bureau revenues increased by approximately $677,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998, due to increased processing of calls. The service bureau did not begin processing calls for U S West and Cincinnati Bell until the first and third quarter of 1998, respectively. Revenues from the software product increased by approximately $74,000 for the same period. These increases were offset by a decrease of approximately $474,000 in consulting revenues. Consulting revenues in the first nine months of 1998 included the final development stages for U S West, the initial customer, and consulting revenues for the development of the service bureau for Cincinnati Bell Telephone and enhancements to the initial product offered.

Cost of Revenues from Continuing Operations

    The Company's cost of revenues from continuing operations of $239,537 decreased $31,215 or 12% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $270,752 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. For the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, the Company's cost of revenues of $757,467 increased $37,615 or 5% compared to $719,852 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The increase for nine months is primarily attributed to an increase in cost of revenues for the expanded operation of the service bureau by approximately $237,000 and increased cost of revenues for the development of a new version of the Call Graphics software containing several necessary enhancements. These costs were offset by decreased consulting cost of revenues by approximately $299,000.

    The Company's gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 1999 increased to 52% compared to 34% for the same period in 1998. This increase is a result of a change in the mix of business. Gross margin percentage for the service bureau is higher than the gross margin percentage for the consulting business due to the higher personnel costs in the consulting business.

Selling Expenses from Continuing Operations

    The Company's selling expenses from continuing operations of $140,618 increased $33,788 or 32% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $106,830 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. For the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, the Company's selling expenses of $357,244 increased $16,788 or 5% compared to $340,456 for the same period ended September 30, 1998. The increase in selling expenses is a result of higher marketing expenses of approximately $93,000. These increases were offset by lower personnel expenses of approximately $63,000 and lower travel expenses of approximately $16,000.

General and Administrative Expenses from Continuing Operations

    The Company's general and administrative expenses from continuing operations of $334,577 increased $45,809 or 16% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $288,768 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. For the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, the Company's general and administrative expenses of $975,258 increased $49,186 or 5% compared to $926,072 for the same period ended September 30, 1998. The increase was a result of higher personnel costs of approximately $53,000 and personnel search costs of approximately $25,500. These increases were offset by decreases of approximately $19,000 for rental expenses and approximately $9,600 for bad debt.

Research and Development Expenses from Continuing Operations

    The Company's research and development expenses from continuing operations of $21,056 increased $3,418 or 19% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $17,638 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. For the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, the Company's research and development expenses of $85,158 increased $67,520 compared to $17,638 for the same period ended September 30, 1998. The research and development costs incurred in 1999 are related to the new web-enabling product for the TeleSmart Data Services. A prototype was completed in the second quarter of 1999. Since the development of the prototype, all costs associated with the web-enabling product have been capitalized. In the first six months of fiscal year 1998, the Company was not required to make research and development investments to grow the business. Under the Company's revised business model, development projects and product enhancements are generally paid for by the customer requesting the change.

Other Income and Expense from Continuing Operations

    Interest income of $12,076 increased $5,338 or 79% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $6,738 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. For the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, the Company's interest income increased to $30,586 compared to $23,848 for the same period ended September 30, 1998. The increase is a result of the increase in cash and cash equivalents held by the Company during the nine month period ended September 30, 1999. Cash and cash equivalents on September 30, 1999 were $729,328 compared to $449,639 on September 30, 1998. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is a result of the Company receiving proceeds in the first quarter of 1999 of $1,900,000 through the calling of the warrants originally issued in connection with the private placement of its stock in September of 1997 (the "1997 Private Placement"). In the third quarter of 1999, the Company called 160,000 warrants for redemption. The calling of these warrants raised an additional $165,000.

    The Company had no interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $446 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. For the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, the Company's interest expense decreased to $21 compared to $2,041 for the same period ended September 30, 1998. The decrease is a result of the repayment of outstanding bridge loans.

    The Company had no other income or expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $337 of other expense for three months ended September 30, 1998. There was also no other income or expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 compared to other expenses of $20,180 for the same period ended September 30, 1998. The expense in 1998 was primarily the result of the Company's negotiation, during the first quarter of 1998, of an out of court settlement of $20,000 for a lawsuit that began in 1996.

Discontinued Operations Income

    The Company had no discontinued operations in either the three or nine months ended September 30, 1999. For the three months ended September 30, 1998, the Company's revenues from discontinued operations were $223,639, cost of revenues from discontinued operations were $99,153, general and administrative expenses from discontinued operations were $61,724, and other expenses from discontinued operations was $10,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company's revenues from discontinued operations were $825,562, cost of revenues from discontinued operations were $445,489, general and administrative expenses from discontinued operations were $249,942, and other expenses from discontinued operations were $19,687. Since the Company had made the decision to exit the IVR business in early 1998, there were no expenses incurred in 1998 for selling or research and development. The Company had completely exited the IVR business by the end of fiscal year 1998.

Net Loss

    The Company incurred a net loss of $222,410 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to a net loss of $188,464 for the three months ended September 30, 1998, representing an increased net loss of $33,946 or 18%. For the nine month period ending September 30, 1999, the Company's net loss was $756,598, representing a decrease of $21,993 or 3% compared to a net loss of $778,591 for the same period ending September 30, 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    Cash and Cash Equivalents.  The Company had cash of $729,328 and working capital of $490,839 as of September 30, 1999. Cash used in operating activities during the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 was $113,737 and $726,834, respectively. Cash used in investing activities for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 1999 was $580,116 and $994,856, respectively. These include costs for the development of the web-enabling product for the TeleSmart Data Services.

    Additional Capital Resources.  In the first quarter of 1999, management called the warrants issued as part of the 1997 Private Placement. The calling of these warrants raised $1,900,000. On August 1, 1999, the Company called 160,000 warrants for redemption, to be effective as of September 1, representing the balance of the warrants issued in the 1997 Private Placement. The calling of these warrants raised $165,000.

    Management is currently in the process of raising additional capital through a private placement(the "1999 Private Placement"). The Company has decided to accelerate development of its web-enabling product and expand its marketing and sales efforts, which requires additional funding. A substantial portion of the funds raised in the 1999 Private Placement are to be used for these efforts. The 1999 Private Placement allows a maximum of 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock of OneLink Communications, Inc. (the "Shares") to be purchased by "Accredited Investors" (as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933) at a price of $1.75 per Share. In addition, upon the sale of the entire 1,500,000 Shares, the Company may elect to sell up to 225,000 additional Shares within 30 days.

    Management believes with the projected funds raised in the 1999 Private Placement, the Company can meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months based upon: (i) generating sales that exceed the Company's 1998 sales; and (ii) avoiding any significant increase in expenses. Failure to meet either of these objectives could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.

    Although the Company believes it can increase its revenues and improve its cash flow, there are no assurances that it will be successful in doing so. If management determines that additional financing is desirable, there is no assurance that additional capital will be available to the Company on acceptable terms if at all. In order to obtain additional capital, the Company may issue equity securities at a price that would result in dilution to existing shareholders.

Year 2000 Review

    The Company has instituted a Year 2000 project to address the issue of computer programs and embedded computer chips that are unable to distinguish between the year 1900 and the year 2000. In the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company conducted a review of its systems and operations to identify the impact of the Year 2000 issue. The review concluded that the software created by the Company and the Company's internal operations will not require Year 2000 modifications. The total cost associated with testing to become Year 2000 compliant was not material to the Company's financial position.

    The Company's key customers are the Regional Bell Operating Companies and Independent Telephone Operating Companies. The Company's Year 2000 readiness also depends upon Year 2000 compliance of the Company's key customers and suppliers. The failure on the part of the Company's key customers or suppliers to correct a material Year 2000 problem could result in an interruption in, or a failure of, certain normal business activities or operations. In addition, Year 2000 issues at key customers and prospects could slow down the deployment or delay new product launches as they devote more resources to Year 2000 issues. Such failures or delays could materially and adversely affect the Company's results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. Due to the general uncertainty inherent in the Year 2000 problem, resulting in part from the uncertainty of the Year 2000 readiness of third-party suppliers and customers, the Company is unable to determine at this time whether the consequences of Year 2000 failures will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

    Under the "worst case scenarios", the Year 2000 problem may cause interruptions in telephone services provided by the Company's customers. Interruptions in telephone services and the information behind the services could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. However, the occurrence and duration of such interruptions is beyond the Company's control such that no effective contingency plan is available. The Company will endeavor to have sufficient cash reserves to meet its expenses if a short-term interruption in telephone services occurs, but there can be no assurance such reserves will be available or will be sufficient.
