                    Report of Independent Public Accountants

To the Board of Directors of
OmniLink Communications Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of OmniLink Communications
Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 1997, and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the year ended December 31,
1997. 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 audit.

We conducted our audit 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
misstatement. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of OmniLink Communications
Corporation as of December 31, 1997, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred substantial
losses since inception. The future success of the Company is dependent upon the
immediate infusion of additional capital, sales in the marketplace and retention
of key management personnel. These factors raise substantial doubt about the
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in
regards to those matters are described in Notes 1 and 11. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

Detroit, Michigan,
  August 4, 1998.

(1)  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND RISK FACTORS

           OmniLink Communications Corporation (the Company), was incorporated
            in May of 1996. It is primarily engaged in the design, marketing
            and sale of integrated remote access products for use with
            Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) technology. ISDN
            technology consists of telephone lines designed for high-speed
            voice and data transmission. The Company's products are utilized
            for Internet access, telecommunications, electronic commerce,
            analog voice communication and general data networking.

           The Company is experiencing significant cash flow problems resulting
            from the Company's failure to meet sales targets. This creates
            substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a
            going concern. At December 31, 1997, the Company was in need of an
            immediate infusion of capital. See Note 11 for subsequent sale of
            assets and certain liabilities.

(2)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

           Cash and Cash Equivalents

              Cash equivalents include highly liquid instruments which are
               stated at cost, which approximates market.

           Inventories

              As of December 31, 1997, inventories consist of purchased
               components used to assemble the remote access products and
               finished goods. Inventories are valued on a first-in, first-out
               basis and approximate the lower of cost or market. As of
               December 31, 1997, the Company had recorded an inventory
               reserve of $200,000.

           Property and Equipment

              Property and equipment is carried at cost. Property and equipment
               is depreciated using the straight-line method over the
               estimated useful lives of the respective assets ranging from
               three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over
               the life of the improvement or the life of the lease, whichever
               is shorter.

           Revenue Recognition

              Revenue from product sales is recognized upon shipment of the
               products. Revenue from service sales is recognized when the
               service is provided.

           Use of Estimates

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

           Concentration of Credit Risk

              During 1997, the three largest customers accounted for
               approximately 52% of revenues. At December 31, 1997, the three
               largest customers comprised approximately 44% of accounts
               receivable.

           Earnings Per Share

              During 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per
               Share," (SFAS 128) which was effective December 15, 1997. The
               statement changes the calculation of earnings per share to be
               more consistent with countries outside of the United States. In
               general, the statement requires two calculations of earnings
               per share to be more consistent with countries outside of the
               United States. In general, the statement requires two
               calculations of earnings per share to be disclosed, basic EPS
               and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed using only weighted
               average shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed using the
               average share price for the period when calculating the
               dilution of stock options. In the current year, potentially
               dilutive equity instruments including stock options, stock
               warrants, convertible preferred stock, and convertible debt
               were not considered in the diluted EPS calculation since the
               effect of their inclusion is anti-dilutive.

(3)  PREFERRED STOCK

             Shares of Series A Preferred stock carry certain rights, privileges
              and preferences, which include the following:

           Dividends

                The holder of Series A Preferred stock is entitled to a dividend
                 when and as declared by the Board of Directors. Shareholders
                 are also entitled to receive a portion of the dividends
                 declared on common stock equal to the amount that would have
                 been payable in respect of the shares of common stock into
                 which all outstanding shares of Preferred stock could have been
                 converted.

                                       7

<PAGE>


           Conversion

              At the holder's option, each share of Preferred Stock is
               convertible at any time into shares of common stock at the
               conversion rate, as defined, which is initially equal to one
               share for one share. The shares shall automatically convert
               into common stock at the then-effective Series A conversion
               price as defined upon; (A) the closing of an initial public
               offering of the Company's common stock, as defined, or (B) the
               written consent of conversion by at least 70% of the then
               outstanding Series A shares.

           Voting Rights

              The holder of each outstanding share of Preferred Stock is
               entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares
               of common stock into which each share of Preferred Stock could
               be converted and to the same voting rights and powers as the
               holders of common stock.

           Liquidation Preference

              In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
               Company, either voluntarily or involuntarily, the holder of
               each share of Preferred Stock is entitled to receive, prior to
               and in preference to any distributions to the holders of common
               stock, an amount equal to $12.65 per share, subject to
               adjustment, plus any declared but unpaid dividends on those
               shares.

(4)  STOCK OPTIONS

             On August 1, 1996 the Company established an incentive stock option
              plan (the Plan) for employees of the Company. Options are granted
              at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. The maximum
              number of shares that may be purchased pursuant to options granted
              under the Plan is 96,416. As of December 31, 1997, 72,056 options
              have been granted as follows:

           Grantees vest in the options at 10% after six months of service and
            1/47th for each subsequent month of service. Employees forfeit
            vested options three months subsequent to termination, except for
            certain specified exceptions. Of the options granted, 47,470
            options are vested and have a life of ten years beyond the grant
            date. The Company accounts for stock options in accordance with
            SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". The
            effect of SFAS No. 123 on the exercisable options is immaterial to
            the financial statements. 

                                       8

<PAGE>

              During 1997, 4,673 options have been cancelled, 2,957 have been 
              exercised.

(5)  INCOME TAXES

           The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109. Under the
            provisions of SFAS No. 109, deferred income taxes reflect the
            impact of temporary differences between the amount of assets and
            liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and such
            amounts recognized for tax reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets
            may also be recognized to reflect the expected future benefit from
            the utilization of net operating loss and tax credit
            carryforwards. These deferred tax assets will expire in 2012.
            Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured by applying
            current enacted tax laws.

           As of December 31, 1997, the Company has deferred tax assets
            totalling $1,124,000 primarily resulting from net operating
            losses. A valuation reserve has been recorded for the full amount
            of the asset as Management does not believe that it is more likely
            than not that these amounts will be realized.

(6)  LEASE COMMITMENT

           The Company is obligated under a noncancellable lease agreement for 
            the rental of administrative offices and research and development 
            facilities.  Rent expense under this agreement totalled $90,000 in
            1997.  Future minimum rental payments required under this 
            agreement:

(7)   NOTES PAYABLE

           During 1997, the Company issued $1,600,000 of convertible debt. The
            debt is convertible into Series A Preferred Stock at a ratio of 1
            to $12.65. These notes, at year-end, bear interest at rates
            ranging from 9% to 10% and mature in 1998. At year-end, $1,050,000
            of this debt was with shareholders and other related parties. A
            portion of the debt, $1,150,000, is secured by the Company's
            assets. Interest expense on this debt was $70,000 during 1997.

           During 1997, the Company induced the conversion of $875,000 in
            convertible debt plus accrued interest by offering the Series A
            Preferred stock at a reduced price of $11.44 per share. The cost
            of $96,145 to induce the conversion was expensed in the current
            year.

           The Company received a bridge loan from a related party for $500,000.
            The note matures in 1998 and bears interest at prime plus 4.5%. The
            prime rate at December 31, 1997 was 8.5%.

(8)   STOCK WARRANTS

           At December 31, 1997, the Company had 28,665 detachable stock
            warrants outstanding with $1,225,000 of its convertible debt (see
            Note 7). Each warrant gives the holder the right to purchase
            Series A Preferred stock for $12.65 per share. The warrants expire
            five years after issuance. All warrants issued in 1997 will expire
            in 2002.

(9)   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

           During the year, the Company entered into various transactions with
            shareholders and other related parties. As of December 31, 1997,
            the Company had customer deposits, convertible debt, and bridge
            loans of $63,000 and $650,000, and $500,000, respectively, with
            these related parties. In addition, the Company had sales to a
            related party of $130,000.

(10)  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

           The Company has a 401(k) profit sharing plan for its employees. The
            benefits are based on years of service and the employees'
            compensation. The Company did not make an additional
            discretionary contribution in 1997.

(11)  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

           Subsequent to year-end, the Company issued $1,300,000 in additional 
            debt to an existing creditor, Transaction Network Services, Inc. 
            (TNS).

           On July 1, 1998, TNS acquired substantially all of the assets and
            assumed certain liabilities (composed principally of trade
            payables) of the Company. TNS paid consideration of 

                                       10

<PAGE>

            $2.5 million, comprised of (a) approximately $600,000 in cash, 
            and (b) approximately $1.9 million by cancellation of promissory 
            notes payable to TNS in the outstanding principal amount of $1.8
            million and approximately $100,000 in accrued interest. The terms
            of the acquisition also include a royalty payment from TNS to the
            Company of up to approximately 5% per unit based upon future
            OmniLink product sales. The royalty agreement will terminate upon
            the earlier of the date that OmniLink will receive royalties
            aggregating $5,000,000 or June 30, 2001. The Company is
            continuing certain of its operations in connection with the
            royalty agreement referred to above. The Company continues to
            suffer from significant cash flow problems and needs an infusion
            of capital to continue to operate.

(1)  GENERAL

         OmniLink Communications Corporation (the Company), was incorporated in
May of 1996. It is primarily engaged in the design, marketing and sale of
integrated remote access products for use with Integrated Services Digital
Network (ISDN) technology. ISDN technology consists of telephone lines designed
for high-speed voice and data transmission. The Company's products are utilized
for Internet access, telecommunications, electronic commerce, analog voice
communication and general data networking.

         The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have 
been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and 
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and include, in 
the opinion of the Company, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring 
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of interim period results. 
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial 
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and 
regulations. The Company believes that its disclosures are adequate to make 
the information presented not misleading. The results of operations for the 
six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 are not necessarily indicative 
of the results to be expected for the full year.

 (2)  NOTES PAYABLE

         During 1997, the Company issued $1,600,000 of convertible debt. The
debt is convertible into Series A Preferred Stock at a ratio of 1 to $12.65.
These notes, at year-end, bear interest at rates ranging from 9% to 10% and
mature in 1998. At year-end, $1,050,000 of this debt was with shareholders and
other related parties. A portion of the debt, $1,150,000, is secured by the
Company's assets. Interest expense on this debt was $70,000 during 1997.

         During 1997, the Company induced the conversion of $875,000 in
convertible debt plus accrued interest by offering the Series A Preferred stock
at a reduced price of $11.44 per share. The cost of $96,145 to induce the
conversion was expensed 1997.

        The Company received a bridge loan from a related party for 
$1,800,000. The note matures in 1998 and bears interest at prime plus 4.5%. 
The prime rate at June 30, 1998 was 8.5%.

(3)  STOCK WARRANTS

     At June 30, 1998, the Company had 28,665 detachable stock warrants
outstanding with $1,225,000 of its convertible debt. Each warrant gives the
holder the right to purchase Series A Preferred stock for $12.65 per share. The
warrants will expire in 2002.

(4)  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The Company has entered into various transactions with shareholders and
other related parties. As of June 30, 1998 Company had customer deposits,
convertible debt, and bridge loans of $28,000 and $650,000, and $1,800,000,
respectively, with these related parties. In addition, the Company had sales to
a related party of $69,000 for the six month period ending June 30, 1998.

 (5)  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         On July 1, 1998, TNS acquired substantially all of the assets and
assumed certain liabilities (composed principally of trade payables) of the
Company. TNS paid consideration of $2.5 million, comprised of (a) approximately
$600,000 in cash, and (b) approximately $1.9 million by cancellation of
promissory notes payable to TNS in the outstanding principal amount of $1.8
million and approximately $100,000 in accrued interest. The terms of the
acquisition also include a royalty payment from TNS to the Company of up to
approximately 5% per unit based upon future OmniLink product sales. The royalty
agreement will terminate upon the earlier of the date that OmniLink will receive

                                       15

royalties aggregating $5,000,000 or June 30, 2001. The Company is continuing 
certain of its operations in connection with the royalty agreement referred 
to above. The Company continues to suffer from significant cash flow problems 
and needs an infusion of capital to continue to operate.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The following unaudited pro forma financial statements gives effect to
the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and the assumption of certain
liabilities of OmniLink Communications Corporation ("OmniLink") for
consideration of $2.5 million composed of (a) approximately $600,000 in cash
paid by the Company and (b) approximately $1.9 million by cancellation of
OmniLink promissory notes payable to the Company in the outstanding principal
amount of $1.8 million (the "Notes") and approximately $100,000 in accrued
interest. The accompanying pro forma financial statements assume that the
acquisition was made as of June 30, 1998 for the unaudited pro forma balance
sheet; as of January 1, 1997 for the unaudited pro forma statement of operations
for the year ended December 31, 1997; and as of January 1, 1998 for the six
months ended June 30, 1998. Pursuant to the acquisition, the Company will make
royalty payments to OmniLink of up to approximately 5% of future OmniLink
product sales. The royalty agreement will terminate upon the earlier of the date
that OmniLink has received royalties aggregating $5,000,000 or June 30, 2001.

         Prior to the acquisition, OmniLink developed, manufactured and marketed
modems for electronic commerce, Internet access, telecommuting and advanced
office communications. The Company intends to continue to devote the acquired
OmniLink assets to these lines of business for the foreseeable future. The
Company has also transferred certain recently acquired proprietary technology to
OmniLink for further development and integration into the OmniLink modems; this
development effort is intended to support the Company's strategy to offer
dial-up ISDN access services to both domestic and international customers who
have traditionally relied upon more expensive leased line communications to
process transactions originated at both point-of-sale (POS) locations as well as
automated teller machines (ATMs).

         In November 1997, the Company loaned OmniLink $500,000, and in 1998,
the Company loaned OmniLink an additional $1,300,000. Interest accrued at 13%
and the Notes were to mature in November 1998. In connection with making these
loans the Company received the exclusive European distribution rights to
OmniLink's products used in connection with the provision of POS and ATM
services. A limited partnership (the "Partnership"), controlled by the Company's
Chief Executive Officer, and a venture capital firm, one of whose managing
partners is also a director of the Company, are each minority shareholders of
OmniLink and are holders of subordinated notes issued by OmniLink. The
Partnership also guaranteed OmniLink's payment of the Notes.

         The acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method of
accounting. The purchase price has been allocated on a preliminary basis to the
assets acquired based upon the estimated value of such assets. The unaudited pro
forma financial statements do not purport to represent what the Company's
results of operations or financial position actually would have been had the
acquisition occurred on the dates specified, or to project the Company's results
of operations or financial position for any future period or date. The pro forma
adjustments are based upon available information and do not reflect any benefits
from economies which might be achieved from the combined operations. In the
opinion of management all adjustments have been made that are necessary to
present fairly the unaudited pro forma financial statements.
