ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
SIMS Communications, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware in
August 1991 to rent cellular telephones through a stand-alone dispensing station
known as an Automated Communications Distribution Center ("ACDC"). Prior to 1996
the Company operated ACDC units for its own account and also sold franchises
which provided third parties the right to operate ACDC units at various
franchised locations. At September 30, 1999, the Company was not operating any
ACDC units and the Company's only remaining franchisee had four ACDC units in
operation.
In 1996 the Company introduced four programs in an effort to diversify and
broaden the Company's product and service mix: (i) cellular telephone
activations, (ii) sale of pre-paid calling cards, (iii) sale of long distance
telephone service and (iv) rental of cellular telephones using overnight courier
service. With the exception of the sale of pre-paid calling cards, these four
programs were discontinued in December 1997.
In December 1996 the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding
shares of Link International, Inc. ("Link"). Link manufactures and distributes
machines which dispense prepaid calling cards ("PCD's") and terminals which are
used by merchants to perform a variety of transactions, including accepting
credit cards and bank debit cards in payment for sales of merchandise and
services. The PCD's are full sized stand-alone vending machines and are operated
by the Company. All prepaid phone cards stored in the PCD's are "dead" (i.e.
"inactive") until each one is individually activated once cash is received or a
customer's credit or debit card has been accepted by the machine and
successfully processed. The use of inactive calling cards eliminates the risk of
fraud or theft as well as the need for a large capital investment which is
required by other machines that dispense only pre-activated (or "live") cards.
Although the PCD's accept cash and credit cards, the PCD's require the customer
to use a personal identification number when purchasing prepaid phone cards with
a bank debit card. This particular feature serves to eliminate the expense (i.e.
"charge backs") associated with the use of fraudulent or stolen credit cards.
Long distance time for the prepaid calling cards is purchased by the Company
from various venders. Link also markets a proprietary scrip terminal which
dispenses a receipt to the customer which can be used to pay for merchandise
and/or services. In June 1999 the Company sold substantially all of the assets
associated with Link. Although the Company did not receive any material cash
payment in connection with this sale, the purchaser of the assets agreed to
assume $70,000 in accounts payable and approximately $600,000 in capitalized
lease obligations associated with the acquisition of the scrip terminals.
Excluded from the sale of Link's assets were 117 scrip terminals (45 of which
are in operation) and five PCD's.
In May 1998 the Company acquired One Medical Services, Inc. in
consideration for 142,350 shares of common stock and 187,500 warrants
exercisable at $2.00 per share at any time prior to May 30, 2003. The Company
has also agreed to issue to the former owners of One Medical up to 1,485,000
additional shares of common stock depending on the future operating results of
One Medical. The number of shares to be issued will be determined by dividing
the quarterly net income of One Medical (for each fiscal quarter beginning June
30, 1998 and ending June 30, 2001), by the average closing price of the
Company's common stock for the five day trading period prior to the end of each
<PAGE>
quarter. One Medical provides a financial processing and communications network
for the Home Medical Equipment (HME) industry. In addition to processing
information and verifying insurance medical cards, this network connects HME
buyers with a network of HME vendors. This proprietary network has been
designated for the medical and managed healthcare market, but at the present
time is being marketed to the retail pharmacy industry. As of September 30,
1999, 80 pharmacies, 13 HME service centers, 8 HME vendors and one catalogue
vendor were members of the One Medical network.
In July 1999 the Company licensed its rights to the One Medical Service Network
to an unrelated third party for $1,377,000, of which $300,000 was paid by
September 30, 1999, $267,000 of which is to be paid by January 5, 2000 and the
remainder of which ($810,000) will be paid in accordance with the terms an
unsecured promissory note which bears interest at 7% per year. The principal due
on the note is to be reduced by license royalties due the Company, up to a
maximum of $6,000 per month, and prepaid phone card credits of $3,000 per month.
On July 30, 2002 the licensee is to make a one-time payment to the Company equal
to 25% of the then outstanding principal on the note. All unpaid principal and
interest is due on July 30, 2006. The licensee also agreed to pay $200,000 of
accounts payable related to One Medical inventory and to assume the salaries and
other overhead associated with the One Medical operation. The Company uses the
prepaid phone card credits in the sale of its prepaid calling cards.
All historical share data in this report have been adjusted to reflect the
following stock splits relating to the Company's common stock: June 1995:
2-for-1 forward split, February 1996: 1-for-10 reverse split, February 1998:
1-for-4 reverse split.
As of September 30, 1999 substantially all of the Company's revenues were
generated by the Justmed.com and the Movie Vision divisions.
JustMed.com
The JustMed.com division involves three components:
o The Medcard health insurance verification and billing system
o The JustMed.com website
o The Med Store
MedCard System
In November 1998 the Company acquired an exclusive world wide license to
software programs and related technology known as the MedCard system. The
MedCard system is an electronic processing system which consolidates insurance
eligibility verification and processes medical claims and approvals of credit
card and debit card payments in under 30 seconds through a single, small
terminal.
<PAGE>
As of September 30, 1999 the MedCard system was able to retrieve on-line
eligibility and authorization information from 77 medical insurance companies
and electronically process and submit billings for its healthcare providers to
over 1,650 companies. These insurance providers include CIGNA, Prudential,
Oxford Health Plan, United Health Plans, Blue Cross, Medicaid, Aetna, Blue
Cross/Blue Sheild and Metrahealth. Using the MedCard system, patients are
relieved from the problems associated with eligibility confirmation and
billings, healthcare providers' reimbursements are accelerated and account
receivables are reduced. The time it takes to collect payments from insurance
providers decreases from months to days. Sims obtains revenues from the sale or
lease of its processing terminals and from fees received from every transaction
processed by means of the terminals.
Website
The JustMed.com website is an internet website which began functioning on
July 1, 1999. The website advertises healthcare products and services which are
available to the general public and provides medical information to the general
public. Persons in need of healthcare products and services can access the
website and order products or transfer to the more detailed websites maintained
by the companies which provide the products and services. Sims expects to
generate revenues from this website by charging providers of healthcare products
and services fees for advertising on the website. Sims will also receive fees
when a person transfers from Sims' website to the websites maintained by a
provider of healthcare products or services. Sims expects that advertisers on
its website will include distributors of healthcare equipment and products,
hospitals, physician practice groups, and clinics.
Med Store
The Med Store is a feature of Sims' website which allows consumers to use
their computers to purchase a variety of healthcare products and services. Items
available for purchase include canes, crutches, walkers, bath chairs, blood
pressure units, cold therapies, exercise equipment and hot and cold packs. The
Med Store became operational on July 1, 1999.
Movie Vision
In January 1998 the Company issued 550,000 shares of its common stock to
the shareholders of Moviebar, Incorporated and Vectorvision, Incorporated in
consideration for the acquisition of a business known as "Movie Vision." Movie
Vision rents video cassettes, primarily containing motion pictures, through
automated dispensing units in hotels. Movie Vision currently has video cassette
dispensing machines in approximately 150 hotels in the United States.
Competition
The Company competes with numerous other companies which are engaged in
the Company's lines of business. Many of these competitors have greater
financial and marketing resources than those of the Company.
<PAGE>
Employees and Offices
As of September 30, 1999, the Company employed 18 persons on a full-time
basis. Nine employees serve in management or administrative capacities, and the
remainder are hourly workers in the Company's operations. None of the Company's
employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The Company has
never experienced an organized work stoppage, strike or labor dispute.
Management considers the Company's relations with its employees to be good.
The Company's executive offices are located at 18001 Cowan, Suite C&D,
Irvine, California 92614 and consist of 4,900 square feet of space which are
leased at an annual rent of $70,000. This lease on the space expires in August
2003. The Company leases a 7,000 square foot production and office facility in
Orlando, Florida at an annual rent of $50,000. The lease on this facility
expires in December 2005. The Company's telephone number is (949) 261-6665.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES
See Item 1 of this report.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
There are no material legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or
to which its properties are subject.
Prior to 1996 the Company operated ACDC units for its own account and also
sold franchises which provided third parties the right to operate ACDC units at
various franchised locations. A former franchisee of the Company has demanded
that the Company purchase its franchise, as well as the franchisee's ACDC units,
for approximately $1,000,000. The Company issued 571,429 shares of its common
stock in settlement of $500,000 claimed to the franchise. The Company also
agreed to pay $371,619 plus interest of 10% per year to the former franchisee no
later than October 31, 1999. The Company and the former franchisee agreed to
negotiate with each other to determine what, if any, additional amount is owed
by the Company to the former franchisee.
A suit has been filed against the Company by a former employee for damages
totaling $200,000. The Company believes the claim is without merit and has filed
a counterclaim against the former employee charging criminal wrongdoing.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
Not Applicable

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
As of September 30, 1999, there were approximately 350 beneficial owners
of the Company's Common Stock. The Company's Common Stock is traded on the
National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation ("NASDAQ")
System. Set forth below are the range of high and low bid quotations for the
periods indicated as reported by NASDAQ. The market quotations reflect
interdealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commissions and may not
necessarily represent actual transactions. The market quotations have been
adjusted to reflect a two for one forward stock split, which was effective in
June 1995, a one-for ten reverse stock split which was effective in March 1996,
and a one-for-four reverse stock split which was effective in February 1998.

Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor and,
in the event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of the
Company's assets after payment of liabilities. The Board of Directors is not
obligated to declare a dividend. The Company has not paid any dividends on it's
Common Stock and the Company does not have any current plans to pay any Common
Stock dividends.
The provisions in the Company's Articles of Incorporation relating to the
Company's Preferred Stock would allow the Company's directors to issue Preferred
Stock with rights to multiple votes per share and dividends rights which would
have priority over any dividends paid with respect to the Company's Common
Stock. The issuance of Preferred Stock with such rights may make more difficult
the removal of management even if such removal would be considered beneficial to
shareholders generally, and will have the effect of limiting shareholder
participation in certain transactions such as mergers or tender offers if such
transactions are not favored by incumbent management.
See Note 2 to the Company's consolidated financial statements which are
included as part of this report.

Projected revenues for the year ending June 30, 2000 constitute a
forward-looking statement which is subject to risks and uncertainties which
could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Factors
that could cause or contribute to such differences include lack of adequate
funding, loss of major customers and inability to meet sales projections. The
Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revision to these
forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances
after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated
events.
Prior to 1996 the Company operated ACDC units for its own account and also
sold franchises which provided third parties the right to operate ACDC units at
various franchised locations. At September 30, 1999, the Company was not
operating any ACDC units and the Company's only remaining franchisee had four
ACDC units in operation.
In 1996 the Company introduced four programs in an effort to diversify
and broaden the Company's product and service mix: (i) cellular telephone
activations, (ii) sale of pre-paid calling cards, (iii) sale of long distance
telephone service and (iv) rental of cellular telephones using overnight courier
service. With the exception of the sale of pre-paid calling cards, these
programs were discontinued in December 1997.
<PAGE>
In December 1996 the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding
shares of Link International, Inc. (see Item 1 of this report). Although the
Company did not receive any material cash payment in connection with this sale,
the purchaser of the assets agreed to assume $70,000 in accounts payable and
approximately $600,000 in capitalized lease obligations associated with the
acquisition of the script terminals.
In January 1998 the Company acquired its Movie Vision Divison from
Moviebar, Incorporated and Vectorvision, Incorporated. Movie Vision rents
videocassettes, primarily containing motion pictures, through automated
dispensing units in hotels.
In May 1998 the Company acquired One Medical Services, Inc. (see Item 1 of
this report). In July 1999 the Company licensed its rights to the One Medical
Service Network to an unrelated third party for $1,377,000, of which $300,000
was paid by September 30, 1999, $267,000 of which is to be paid by January 5,
2000 and the remainder of which (810,000) will be paid in accordance with the
terms an unsecured promissory note which bears interest at 7% per year. The
principal due on the note is to be reduced by license royalties and other
credits up to a maximum of $9,000 per month.
In November 1998 the Company acquried an exclusive world wide license to
software programs and related technology known as the MedCard system. The
MedCard system forms a part of the Company's JustMed.com division.
Year Ending June 30, 1999
During the year ending June 30, 1999, the Company's revenue increased as a
result of the Company's expansion into financial processing (Link debit and
scrip terminals), medical transaction processing (One Medical and MedCard
divisions) and automated motion picture rentals (Movie Bar division). These
business segments produced revenues of $625,801, $583,777 and $888,626,
respectively for the year ended June 30, 1999. Comparable revenues from these
segments for the year ended June 30, 1998 were substantially less since the full
scale distribution of the Link debit and scrip terminals did not begin until
April 1998, and the One Medical and MedCard divisions did not commence
operations until May 1998 and November 1998, respectively. During the summer of
1999 the Company began directing its efforts toward its Justmed.com division. As
a result of this change in focus the Company in June 1999 sold a major portion
of its financial processing division and in July 1999 the Company licensed its
rights to the One Medical division. In connection with the sale of the financial
processing division, the Company recognized $210,000 of deferred gross profit.
<PAGE>
Selling, Marketing and General and Administration expenses (including
depreciation) increased to nearly $5,800,000 during the year ended June 30, 1999
compared to $4,300,000 in the prior year primarily due to the following:
1) The Company's financial processing, One Medical and Movie Bar divisions
were in operation during all twelve months of fiscal 1999, compared to
shorter periods in the prior year.
2) The Company acquired its MedCard division in November 1998. As a result,
only operations for the twelve month period ending June 30, 1999 were
affected by the expenses of this division.
3) Depreciation and amortization expense was $1,056,572 in the year ended
June 30, 1999 compared to $474,372 in the prior period. A substantial
portion of this increase was the result of depreciating assets related to
the Company's ACDC operations over a shorter period of time.
4) As a result of the sale of a portion of its financial processing division,
the Company incurred approximately $140,00 of commission expense in the
quarter ended June 30, 1999.
5) The Company incurred one-time expenses related to the closing of offices
in New Jersey and Modesto, California offices and in the termination of
offices leases Florida.
6) The Company expensed approximately $200,000 in additional reserves against
note receivables deemed uncollectible at June 30, 1999.
During the year ended June 30, 1999 stock-based compensation increased 50%
compared to the prior period. The Company issued shares of its common stock to
pay for the services provided by employees and outside consultants retained for
a number of projects, including the development of the Company's website,
internet healthcare web portal and e-commerce business applications.
Year Ending June 30, 1998
During the year ending June 30, 1998 the Company's revenues declined as a
result of the suspension of the Company's ACDC program and the termination of
the following programs which were first introduced in 1996: (i) cellular
telephone activations, (ii) sale of long distance telephone service and (iii)
rental of cellular telephones using overnight courier service.
During fiscal 1998 the Company concentrated on its three new divisions:
Link, Movievision and One Medical Service. During the year ended June 30, 1998
revenues from the Link and Movie Vision divisions were $148,000 and $371,000
respectively. Revenues from the One Medical Service division, which was acquired
effective May 30, 1998, were not significant during fiscal 1998.
General and Administrative expenses as well as Selling and Marketing
expanses increased due to the acquisition of Link, Movie Vision, and One Medical
Service, the lease of the Company's production facility in Tampa and changes in
the management of the Company.
<PAGE>
The following factors also contributed to the Company's loss during the
year ending June 30, 1998:
1) An expense of $1,687,422 as the result of issuing shares of stock,
options and warrants for services rendered.
2) In February 1998, the Company settled a lawsuit filed by a former
Master Licensee of ACDC units resulting in a special charge of $424,300. The
terms of the settlement require the Company to pay $115,000 over 21 months and
issue 300,000 shares of common stock to the former master licensee.
3) In March 1997, the Company entered into a License Agreement with
Cancall Cellular Communications, Inc. ("Cancall") whereby the Company provided
Cancall with a license to operate and/or distribute the Company's ACDC units,
prepaid calling card machines and point-of-sale terminals. The Licensing
Agreement also required Cancall to purchase a certain number of ACDC units and
point-of-sale terminals from the Company. Between March and September 1997, the
Company sold 30 ACDC units to Cancall for $705,000. In payment of the $500,000
licensing fee and the 30 ACDC units, Cancall issued 1,807,800 shares of it's
Class B Preferred Stock to the Company. As of September 30,1997 the Company had
valued the Cancall Preferred Stock at $1,310,000. Subsequent to September 30,
1997 the Company and Cancall ( i ) agreed to rescind the licensing agreement and
the sale of the ACDC units (ii) the equipment previously sold to Cancall were
returned to the Company and (iii) an expense of ($764,000) was recorded.
4) Between June through September 1996 the Company sold 30 ACDC units to a
master licensee in California resulting in gross revenues of $664,000. The
Company has not received payment for the units and a reserve of $374,980 (the
profit for the units sold) was recorded for uncollected receivables.
5) The Company recorded a valuation reserve ($200,000) for the Company's
investment in Smartphone, a non consolidated subsidiary which sold prepaid
cellular telephones.
6) An increase in the ACDC depreciation and patent amortization rates due
to technological changes in the industry.
Liquidity and Sources of Capital
During the year ending June 30, 1999 the Company's operations used
approximately $3,400,000 of cash. In order to fund its operating losses, the
Company sold shares of its common stock and preferred stock in private
placements.
During the year ending June 30, 2000, the Company may be able to reduce
expenses as a result of downsizing of its facilities and the reduction in
personnel. Although there can be no assurance in this regard, the Company
expects that during fiscal 2000 cash generated by operations, funds received
from its One Medical Services licensing agreement and through the collection of
long-term notes receivable will satisfy the Company's cash requirements.
<PAGE>
The Company does not have any available credit, bank financing or other
external sources of liquidity. Due to historical operating losses, the Company's
operations have not been a source of liquidity. In order to obtain capital, the
Company may need to sell additional shares of its common stock or borrow funds
from private lenders. During the next twelve months the Company will need
capital to repay outstanding debt and fund receivables and inventory balances.
In addition, during the year ending June 30, 2000, the Company expects to suffer
losses, in which case the Company will need to obtain additional sources of
capital in order to continue operations. There can be no assurance, however,
that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional funding.
Year 2000 Issue
The "Year 2000" issue affects the Company's installed computer systems,
network elements, software applications and other business systems that have
time-sensitive programs that may not properly reflect or recognize the Year
2000. Because many computers and computer applications define dates by the last
two digits of the year, "00" may not be properly identified as the Year 2000.
This error could result in miscalculations or system failures. The Year 2000
issue does not materially affect the Company's computer systems, software or
other business systems. The Company has conducted a review to identify areas
that could be affected and has developed an implementation plan to ensure
compliance. The Company believes that with modifications to existing software
the issue will not pose significant operational concerns nor have a material
impact on financial position or results of operations. The costs of
modifications is not expected to be material and will be expensed as incurred.
However, failures of computer systems maintained by third parties could have a
material impact on the Company's ability to conduct business. The Company has
requested that its major independent suppliers and support providers confirm
that they will be Year 2000 compliant.

Stock Option and Bonus Plans
The Company has an Incentive Stock Option Plan, Non-Qualified Stock Option
Plans and Stock Bonus Plans. A summary description of each Plan follows. In some
cases these three Plans are collectively referred to as the "Plans".
Incentive Stock Option Plan.
The Incentive Stock Option Plan authorizes the issuance of options to
purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, less the number
of shares already optioned under both this Plan and the Non-Qualified Stock
Option Plan. Only officers, and employees of the Company may be granted options
pursuant to the Incentive Stock Option Plan.
<PAGE>
In order to qualify for incentive stock option treatment under the
Internal Revenue Code, the following requirements must be complied with:
1. Options granted pursuant to the Plan must be exercised no later than:
(a) The expiration of thirty (30) days after the date on which an option
holder's employment by the Company is terminated.
(b) The expiration of one year after the date on which an option
holder's employment by the Company is terminated, if such
termination is due to the Employee's disability or death.
2. In the event of an option holder's death while in the employ of the
Company, his legatees or distributees may exercise (prior to the option's
expiration) the option as to any of the shares not previously exercised.
3. The total fair market value of the shares of Common Stock (determined
at the time of the grant of the option) for which any employee may be granted
options which are first exercisable in any calendar year may not exceed
$100,000.
4. Options may not be exercised until one year following the date of
grant. Options granted to an employee then owning more than 10% of the Common
Stock of the Company may not be exercisable by its terms after five years from
the date of grant.
5. The purchase price per share of Common Stock purchasable under an
option is determined by the Committee but cannot be less than the fair market
value of the Common Stock on the date of the grant of the option (or 110% of the
fair market value in the case of a person owning the Company's stock which
represents more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of
stock).
Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan.
The Non-Qualified Stock Option Plans authorize the issuance of options to
purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock less the number of
shares already optioned under both this Plan and the Incentive Stock Option
Plan. The Company's employees, directors, officers, consultants and advisors are
eligible to be granted options pursuant to the Plan, provided however that bona
fide services must be rendered by such consultants or advisors and such services
must not be in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a
capital-raising transaction. The option exercise price is determined by the
Committee but cannot be less than the market price of the Company's Common Stock
on the date the option is granted.
<PAGE>
Options granted pursuant to the Plan not previously exercised terminate
upon the first to occur of the following dates:
(a) The expiration of one year after the date on which an option
holder's employment by the Company is terminated (whether
termination is by the Company, disability or death); or
(b) The expiration of the option which occurs five (5) years from the
date the option was granted.
In the event of an option holder's death while in the employ of the
Company, his legatees or distributees may exercise the option as to any of the
shares not previously exercised prior to the option's expiration.
Stock Bonus Plan.
Up to 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock may be granted under the Stock
Bonus Plans. Such shares may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized but
unissued shares, or treasury shares. Under the Stock Bonus Plan, the Company's
employees, directors, officers, consultants and advisors are eligible to receive
a grant of the Company's shares; provided, however, that bona fide services must
be rendered by consultants or advisors and such services must not be in
connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising
transaction.
Other Options
During the year ended June 30, 1999 the Company granted Mark Bennett and
Michael Malet optons to purchase 1,015,000 and 925,000 shares respectively, of
the Company's common stock. The options may be exercised at any time prior to
April 16, 2004 at an exercise price of $0.82 per share. These options were not
granted pursuant to the Company's Incentive or Non-Qualified stock option plans.
Other Information Regarding the Plans.
The Plans are administered by the Company's Board of Directors. The Board
of Directors has the authority to interpret the provisions of the Plans and
supervise the administration of the Plans. In addition, the Board of Directors
is empowered to select those persons to whom shares or options are to be
granted, to determine the number of shares subject to each grant of a stock
bonus or an option and to determine when, and upon what conditions, shares or
options granted under the Plans will vest or otherwise be subject to forfeiture
and cancellation.
In the discretion of the Board of Directors, any option granted pursuant
to the Plans may include installment exercise terms such that the option becomes
fully exercisable in a series of cumulating portions. The Board of Directors may
also accelerate the date upon which any option (or any part of any options) is
first exercisable. Any shares issued pursuant to the Stock Bonus Plan and any
<PAGE>
options granted pursuant to the Incentive Stock Option Plan or the Non-Qualified
Stock Option Plan will be forfeited if the "vesting" schedule established by the
Board of Directors at the time of the grant is not met. For this purpose,
vesting means the period during which the employee must remain an employee of
the Company or the period of time a non-employee must provide services to the
Company. At the time an employee ceases working for the Company (or at the time
a non-employee ceases to perform services for the Company), any shares or
options not fully vested will be forfeited and cancelled. In the discretion of
the Board of Directors payment for the shares of Common Stock underlying options
may be paid through the delivery of shares of the Company's Common Stock having
an aggregate fair market value equal to the option price, provided such shares
have been owned by the option holder for at least one year prior to such
exercise. A combination of cash and shares of Common Stock may also be permitted
at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
Options are generally non-transferable except upon death of the option
holder. Shares issued pursuant to the Stock Bonus Plan will generally not be
transferable until the person receiving the shares satisfies the vesting
requirements imposed by the Board of Directors when the shares were issued.
The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time, and from time to
time, amend, terminate, or suspend one or more of the Plans in any manner it
deems appropriate, provided that such amendment, termination or suspension
cannot adversely affect rights or obligations with respect to shares or options
previously granted. The Board of Directors may not, without shareholder
approval: make any amendment which would materially modify the eligibility
requirements for the Plans; increase or decrease the total number of shares of
Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to the Plans except in the case of a
reclassification of the Company's capital stock or a consolidation or merger of
the Company; reduce the minimum option price per share; extend the period for
granting options; or materially increase in any other way the benefits accruing
to employees who are eligible to participate in the Plans.
The Plans are not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code, nor are they subject to any provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors and Stockholders
SIMS Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Irvine, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of SIMS
Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 1999 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
the years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SIMS Communications,
Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 1998 and the results of their operations
and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations
which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note 2. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 1 - Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Sims Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries was incorporated in the state of
Delaware on August 15, 1991. The Company provides low cost, turnkey
point-of-sale (POS) transaction automation solutions to retailers and
pharmacies. These solutions include a comprehensive network of transaction
processing applications using its patented, intelligent DebitLink POS terminal
with custom software. Functions include processing on-line credit card and
medical reimbursement approvals, processing automated home medical equipment
product orders and payments, processing credit card and ATM charges and
payments, cash-backs, activating prepaid phone cards, obtaining prepaid cellular
phone service, securing check guarantees and authorizations and tracking
customer affinity programs. Additionally, the Company rents videocassettes
through its automated dispensing units. Most recently, the Company has evolved
such that while the primary business is still telecommunications; the Company's
telecommunications expertise and technology have been applied to the healthcare
industry in general and electronic processing of medical claims, on-line
insurance eligibility verification and e-commerce, specifically. And, as a means
to establish and gain recognition for SIMS' new identity, the Company included
in its proxy, a ballot to change the name of SIMS Communications, Inc. to MEDCOM
USA, Incorporated. Upon acceptance of the proposed name change, MedCom USA's
ticker symbol on The Nasdaq Stock Market will be "EMED."
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SIMS
COMMUNICATIONS, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries SIMS Franchise Group
Inc., SIMS Communications International, Inc., Link International Technologies,
Inc., New View Technologies, Inc. and JustMed.com, Inc. Additionally, the
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of One Medical Service,
Inc., Moviebar Company USA, Inc., and Vector Vision, Inc. since their respective
date of acquisition. The financial statements also include the operations of the
Company's MedCard division from the date of the acquisition of the exclusive
licensing rights (Note 3). All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that such estimates
have been based on reasonable assumptions and that such estimates are adequate,
however, actual results could differ from those estimates.
<PAGE>
Note 1 - Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of automated video dispensing units, video
cassette players, movie video cassettes, debitlink terminals and other
associated miscellaneous parts and equipment and are recorded at the lower of
cost or market determined by the first-in, first-out method.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Equipment under capital leases is
valued at the lower of fair market value or net present value of the minimum
lease payments at inception of the lease. Depreciation is provided utilizing the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives for owned assets, ranging
from 5 to 7 years, and the related lease term for leasehold improvements and
equipment under capital leases. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are
charged to expense as incurred.
Net loss Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Dilutive earnings per common share is computed similarly, but also gives effect
to the impact convertible securities, such as convertible debt, stock options
and warrants, if dilutive, would have on net income and average common shares
outstanding if converted at the beginning of the year. The Company has incurred
losses in each of the periods covered in these financial statements, thereby
making the inclusion of convertible securities and stock options in the 1999 and
1998 dilutive earnings per share computations antidilutive. Accordingly,
convertible securities and stock options have been excluded from the calculation
of dilutive earnings per share. Basic and dilutive earnings per share are the
same for each period presented.
Antidilutive securities excluded from dilutive earnings per share.
Security Price Shares Expiration Date
Stock options and warrants $0.44 - $13.00 10,127,429 7/1999-12/2006
Convertible Preferred Stock $1.28 - $ 1.50 1,249,271 10/2001
<PAGE>
Note 1 - Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)
Licensing Rights
Licensing rights capitalized in connection with the MedCard licensing agreement
are being amortized over the length of the agreement of fifteen years.
Goodwill
The excess of the cost of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of
acquired businesses is stated at cost and is being amortized over seven years.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from the sale of equipment are recognized upon delivery of service and
technology processing revenue is recognized when transactions are completed.
Automated movie rental revenues are recognized at the time of rental and upon
delivery of prepaid movie cards (where applicable).
Patents
Patent costs are those costs related to filing for patents and the value
allocated to patents based upon the acquisition of Link Technologies and its
subsidiaries. They are amortized on the straight-line basis over their expected
economic life of seven years.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash and cash
equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximates
fair value at June 30, 1999 because of the relatively short maturity of these
instruments.
The carrying amounts of debt issued approximates fair value because interest
rates on these instruments approximate market interest rates and all are
classified as current maturities.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.
Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date.
<PAGE>
Note 1 - Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company follows the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS No.
121) "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets." Under the provisions
of this statement, the Company has evaluated its long-lived assets for financial
impairment and will continue to evaluate them as events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully
recoverable.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets not held for sale
by measuring the carrying amount of the assets against estimated undiscounted
cash flows associated with them. At the time such evaluations indicate that the
future undiscounted cash flows of certain long-lived assets are not sufficient
to recover the carrying value of such assets, assets are adjusted to their fair
values.
Research and Development
Research and development costs consist primarily of costs related to the
conceptual formation, design, tooling and development of prototypes and are
expensed as incurred.
Concentration of Credit Risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of
credit risk consist primarily of temporary cash investments and receivables. The
Company places its cash investments with high credit quality financial
institutions and, by policy limits the amount of credit exposure to any one
institution. The Company grants credit to hotels that the Company has placed
automated movie rental units in. The Company periodically performs credit
analysis and monitors the financial condition of its clients in order to
minimize credit risk. Additionally, the Company attempts to limit its note
receivable credit risk by maintaining sufficient collateral.
Reclassifications
Certain accounts in the June 30, 1998 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the June 30, 1999 presentation.
<PAGE>
Note 2 - Continued Operations
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of
liabilities in the ordinary course of business. During the year ended June 30,
1999, the Company continued to suffer recurring losses from operations in excess
of $7,000,000, resulting in an accumulated deficit of approximately $27,500,000.
Subsequent to June 30, 1999, the Company has raised approximately $400,000 in
private placement offerings and is continuing to look for additional equity
capital. Additionally, the Company has entered into an Exclusive License
Agreement with an outside party for its One Medical Services, Inc. subsidiary
whereby it will receive $567,000 over the next six months and an 8% 7-year note
payable in the amount of $810,000 (see Note 17). There can be no assurances
however that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional equity
financing, if needed, or if available on terms satisfactory to the Company, or
be able to generate significant profits from the operations described above.
Although the Company's common stock is currently listed on the NASDAQ Small Cap
Market ("NASDAQ"), there is no assurance that the Company's stock will continue
to be listed. The National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD")
requires for continued inclusion on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market, that the
Company must maintain $2,000,000 in tangible net worth and that the bid price of
the Company's common stock must be at least $1.00. If delisted from NASDAQ, the
Company's stock would trade in the unorganized interdealer over-the-counter
market through the OTC Bulletin Board which provides significantly less
liquidity than NASDAQ. Securities which are not traded on NASDAQ may be more
difficult to sell and may be subject to more price volatility than NASDAQ listed
securities. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 - Acquisitions
Moviebar Company USA, Inc. and Vector Vision, Inc.
In January 1998, the Company purchased the net assets of Moviebar Company USA,
Inc. and all of the outstanding stock of Vector Vision, Inc., valued at
$1,126,714 in exchange for 550,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
Additionally, the Company issued options to purchase 25,000 shares of the
Company's common stock at $ 2.20 per share (Notes 10 and 11). The acquired
companies rent motion picture video cassettes through automated dispensing units
that are located in hotels throughout the United States. The acquisition was
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

for ten successive one-year periods. The MedCard System is a comprehensive
electronic processing system that consolidates insurance eligibility
verification and processes medical claims and approval of credit card/debit card
payments within 30 seconds. Consideration for the transaction included cash of
$450,000, 100,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $1.28 per share,
which approximated market, and options to purchase 350,000 shares of common
stock with an imputed value of $333,904. At June 30, 1999, licensing rights

Note 9 - Income Taxes
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference
between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using
enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected
to reverse. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by
the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not
expected to be realized.
<PAGE>
Note 9 - Income Taxes (cont'd)
The principal temporary differences that will result in deferred tax assets and
liabilities are certain expenses and losses accrued for financial reporting
purposes not deductible for tax purposes until paid, depreciation for tax
purposes in excess of depreciation for financial reporting purposes and the
deferral of franchise costs and franchise sales revenues for financial reporting
purposes which are recognized for tax purposes in the period paid. The effect of
the differences outlined above generated a long-term deferred tax asset that is
fully impaired because of a lack of profitable operating history. The fully
impaired asset, computed at a 34 percent tax rate at June 30, 1999 was
approximately $8,800,000. Accordingly, there is no net deferred tax asset
reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The differences between the federal income tax rate and the effective income tax
rate as reflected in the accompanying statements of operations are:
Year Ended
June 30,
1999 1998
Statutory federal income tax rate (benefit) (34.0)% (34.0)%
Valuation allowance for net operating loss 34.0 34.0

Effective tax rate (benefit) --% --%
The deferred tax asset consists of the following:

Total long-term deferred tax asset $8,800,000
Valuation allowance

$ --
At June 30, 1999, the Company has approximately $26,000,000 of net operating
loss carryforwards for income tax reporting purposes which expire in 2007
through 2014. During 1995, 1998 and 1999, there were transactions involving
changes in ownership which restrict the utilization of net operating loss
carryforwards in the future.

Non-Qualified Stock Option Plans (cont'd)
The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation," ("FAS 123") which encourages, but does not require, companies to
recognize compensation expense for grants of stock, stock options and other
equity instruments to employees. FAS 123 requires the recognition of expense for
such grants, described above, to acquire goods and services from all
nonemployees. Additionally, although expense recognition is not mandatory for
issuances to employees, FAS 123 requires companies that choose not to adopt the
new fair value accounting rules to disclose pro forma net income and earnings
per share information using the new method.
The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of FAS 123. Accordingly,
no compensation cost has been recognized for the issuances of stock options to
employees. For the years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, employees of the Company
were issued options to purchase a total of 3,281,000 and 1,806,500 shares of the
Company's common stock, respectively, at rates ranging from $.81 to $13 per
share expiring from September 1999 to December 2006.
Had compensation cost for the Company's issuances of stock options during the
years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 been determined based on the fair value at
the date of grant consistent with the provisions of FAS 123, the Company's 1999
and 1998 net loss and loss per share would have been increased to the pro forma
amounts indicated below:
June 30,
1999 1998
----------- ---------
Net loss - as reported $(7,088,960) $(7,109,748)
Net loss - pro forma $(9,469,523) $(9,227,346)
Net loss per share - as reported $ (.67) $ (1.79)
Net loss per share - pro forma $ (.89) $ (2.33)
The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes options-pricing model to calculate the
fair value of each individual issuance of options or warrants with the following
assumptions used for grants during the year ended June 30, 1999; dividends yield
of 0.0%; expected average annual volatility of 133.86%; average annual risk-free
interest rate of 6.0%; and expected terms averaging 3 years.

card/debit card payments within 30 seconds. The accounting policies of the
segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant

units that offer different products and services.

approximately $80,000 in un-reimbursed expenses and monies advanced to the
company. The Company settled the matter for approximately $50,000. As security
for the settlement, the Company gave the individual a collateral assignment of
revenue generated from a location using the Company's automated movie rental
system as well as related equipment and agreed to have a judgment of $80,000
entered against them should they default in payment. As of June 30, 1999, the
Company owed $8,000 to the former employee under the settlement agreement; this
amount is included in accrued expenses.
During February 1998, the Company reached a settlement with a former master
license holder (the "license holder") for Holland, Belgium and Germany. The
Company issued 300,000 shares of common stock valued at $309,300 and agreed to
pay $135,000 in cash, resulting in a special charge of $424,300. At June 30,
1998, $90,000 was due to license holder and included in accrued expenses. During
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, the Company made $15,000 in payments to the
license holder in accordance with the settlement agreement. On April 7, 1999,
the license holder converted the balance of the amount due ($75,000) into 70,755
shares of the Company's common stock (see Note 11).
Additionally, in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, a franchisee demanded that
the Company repurchase his franchises for approximately $1,000,000 or a suit for
breach of the franchise agreement would be filed. On February 19, 1999, the
Company negotiated a settlement with the franchisee whereby the Company issued
571,429 shares of common stock to satisfy $500,000 of the franchisee's deposit
liability (see Note 11). In addition, the Company issued a 10% Promissory Note
for $317,619 in favor of the franchisee due October 31, 1999 (see Note 8).
A suit has been filed against the Company by a former employee for damages
totaling $200,000. Management believes the claim is without merit and has filed
a counterclaim against the plaintiff charging criminal wrongdoing.
The Company is also involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate
disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
