            GLOBAL TELECOMMUNICATION SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                               September 30, 1996

(1)      Business and Basis of Presentation

         Business

         Global   Telecommunication   Solutions,   Inc.  (the   "Company")   was
         incorporated  on  December  23,  1992 and is engaged in the  designing,
         developing  and  marketing of prepaid phone cards  featuring  licensed,
         promotional and standard graphics. The Company also provides card users
         access to long distance  service  through its switching  facilities and
         long distance network arrangements.

         Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
         prepared in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles
         for interim  financial  information  and with the  instructions to Form
         10-QSB and Item  310(b) of  Regulation  S-B.  Accordingly,  they do not
         include all of the  information  and  footnotes  required by  generally
         accepted accounting  principles for complete financial  statements.  In
         the  opinion  of  management,  all  adjustments  (consisting  of normal
         recurring accruals)  considered  necessary for a fair presentation have
         been  included.  Operating  results for the nine and three months ended
         September 30, 1996 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results that
         may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996.

(2)      Loss Per Share

         Weighted  average  shares of common stock for the nine and three months
         ended  September  30,  1996 and  1995  does not  include  common  stock
         equivalents as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

(3)      Reclassifications

         Certain  reclassifications  have  been  made to the  1995  consolidated
         financial statements to conform to the 1996 presentation.

(4)      Acquisition

         On February 29, 1996, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
         January 18,  1996,  the  Company,  through a  wholly-owned  subsidiary,
         acquired  all the issued and  outstanding  common  stock of Global Link
         Teleco  Corp.  ("Global  Link"),  which  designs,  develops and markets
         prepaid phone cards through retail telephone calling centers as well as
         through distribution arrangements. The acquisition was accounted for as
         a purchase.  Accordingly,  the  acquired  assets and  liabilities  were
         recorded at their  estimated fair values at the date of acquisition and
         the operating  results of Global Link were included in the accompanying
         consolidated statement of operations from the acquisition date.

         In connection with the merger,  the Company issued  1,718,318 shares of
         common stock in exchange for all of the issued and  outstanding  common
         stock of Global Link. In addition,  the Company issued 52,805 shares of
         common  stock to a  creditor  of Global  Link.  The  total  cost of the
         acquisition was approximately  $11,500,000 including direct transaction
         costs  of  approximately   $450,000.  In  addition,   Global  Link  has
         $2,800,000  aggregate  principal  amount of 6% Debentures  outstanding,
         which principal  amounts are due and payable on June 23, 1999 for which
         the Company has guaranteed the payment.

                  The acquisition resulted in goodwill of $18,965,860,  based on
                  an allocation of purchase price, calculated as follows:

                  occurred  had the purchase  been made at the  beginning of the
                  respective  periods,  or of  results  which  may  occur in the
                  future.

(5)      Private Placement

         In May 1996,  the Company sold 600,000  shares of the Company's  common
         stock  and  1,200,000  warrants  through  a  private  placement  for an
         aggregate of $3,000,000.  Each warrant  entitles the holder to purchase
         one share of common  stock.  The warrants  are  identical to the public
         warrants,  however,  the Company has agreed that,  notwithstanding  the
         terms of the public  warrants,  the  warrants  issued  pursuant  to the
         private  placement are not  redeemable by the Company until  registered
         for sale and transferred by the original purchasers. In connection with
         this  private  placement,   the  Company  issued  a  warrant  to  Whale
         Securities  Co.,  L.P.,  the placement  agent  ("Whale"),  to purchase,
         through May 10, 2001,  up to 60,000  shares of common stock and 120,000
         warrants for $5.00 per each share of common stock and two warrants.

(6)      Warrants

         In January 1996, the Company issued five-year  warrants to Whale and/or
         its  designees  to purchase an  aggregate  of 200,000  shares of common
         stock at $5.125 per share in consideration for consulting services. The
         estimated  fair market value of these warrants of $400,000 was recorded
         as deferred  compensation  and the  Company has  recorded an expense of
         $266,664 to date.

(7)      Amounts Payable to Related Parties

         Simultaneously with the execution of the merger agreement,  Global Link
         executed an agreement with Peoples Telephone Company,  Inc. ("Peoples")
         pursuant to which  Peoples  agreed to accept  $1,050,000  ($550,000  of
         which was paid on the date of the merger  with the  balance of $500,000
         payable  on  June  28,  1996)  to  settle   certain   obligations   and
         indebtedness  to  Peoples.  In August  1996,  the  Company  and Peoples
         executed an agreement  (the "New Payment  Agreement")  whereby  Peoples
         agreed to  restructure  the payment terms of the remaining  $500,000 as
         follows:  $100,000  which was paid upon  execution  of the New  Payment
         Agreement and a monthly  payment of $33,333  beginning in November 1996
         until all amounts  including  accrued interest at 8% per annum are paid
         in full. In addition, the agreement provides for certain prepayments in
         the event the Company obtains additional financing or the occurrence of
         any change of control.

(8)      Tax Obligations and Compliance

         At September 30, 1996,  the Company is delinquent in remitting  certain
         amounts previously collected for sales, use and excise taxes to various
         taxing jurisdictions.  Further, the Company has not filed certain sales
         and  use,   excise,   income  or  franchise   tax  returns  in  certain
         jurisdictions  in which it does business.  Management is in the process
         of reviewing the Company's tax  collection,  remittance  and compliance
         policies and  procedures  and has recorded a reserve for  estimated tax
         obligations and related  compliance  issues.  Depending on the ultimate
         resolution of these matters,  it is reasonably possible that the amount
         of this reserve could require adjustment in the near term.

(9)      Liquidity

         The Company has  substantial  capital  requirements  resulting from the
         funding of losses from operations, the need to finance continued growth
         and certain  payment  obligations.  The Company  anticipates  that cash
         flows  will  improve  as a  result  of the  increase  in  revenues  and
         improvement in margins are anticipated. The Company anticipates,  based
         on its current plans and assumptions  relating to its operations,  that
         its cash balances,  together with projected cash flows from  operations
         will  be  sufficient  to  satisfy  the  Company's   contemplated   cash
         requirements for the next 12 months, although there can be no assurance
         that this  will be the case.  In the  event  that the  Company's  plans
         change,  its assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate or cash flows
         otherwise  prove to be  insufficient  to fund  operations,  the Company
         would be required to seek additional  financing or curtail its proposed
         expansion and possibly its operations.

(10)     Convertible Notes Receivable

         In March and May 1995,  the Company  advanced  $200,000  and  $125,000,
         respectively,  to Fone America,  Inc. ("Fone") evidenced by convertible
         promissory  notes bearing  interest at 10% per annum. The principal and
         accrued  interest thereon was due and payable on June 23, 1995 and July
         14, 1995, respectively. Accrued interest at September 30, 1996 amounted
         to approximately  $69,000. The Company has the option of converting any
         part of the principal into shares of Fone America's common stock on the
         basis of two shares for each $1.00 of  principal.  Fone has also agreed
         that,  at the Company's  option,  Fone will repay the notes by allowing
         the Company to utilize services which Fone will provide.  Such services
         consist of access to Fone's  switching  platforms,  the  utilization of
         Fone's network personnel and the sale and service of phone card vending
         machines.   Management   anticipates  that  the  Company  will  utilize
         approximately  $100,000  of  these  services  from  Fone in the  fourth
         quarter of 1996 and the remaining balance of the principal and interest
         owed under the notes during the first half of 1997. Based upon a review
         of Fone's financial statements,  discussions with Fone and knowledge of
         the  industry,  management  of the  Company  believes  that  Fone  will
         continue  to have the  wherewithal  to  provide  such  services  to the
         Company during such period.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

         The Company  generates  revenues from the sales of prepaid phone cards.
To date, the Company's expenses have exceeded  revenues,  resulting in losses of
$4,423,792 and $2,035,188, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 and September 30, 1995.

         The Company's primary cost of sales are incurred in connection with the
design and manufacture of its prepaid phone cards,  royalties in connection with
the various license  agreements,  switch  administration  fees and long distance
carriers  fees (which long  distance  costs are generally not billed or incurred
until such time as long distance service is accessed).

         The Company records  deferred  revenue at the time it sells its prepaid
phone  cards and  recognizes  revenue  at the time the  consumer  accesses  long
distance service. In connection with sales of cards featuring licensed graphics,
the  Company  generally  charges a premium per minute  charge for long  distance
services.  The premium,  if any, is  recognized  at the time of sale,  while the
remaining  revenue is deferred  and  recognized  when long  distance  service is
accessed.  The Company recognizes deferred revenue as revenue relating to unused
calling time  remaining upon each card's  expiration  (generally 12 to 18 months
after issuance).

       Nine months ended September 30, 1996 Compared to Nine months ended
                               September 30, 1995

         Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were $8,412,887,
compared to $2,261,948 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, an increase
of $6,150,939 or 271.9%.  Approximately  $5,981,000 or 264.4% of the increase is
attributable  to the  acquisition of Global Link (see note 4). Revenues from the
sale of cards featuring licensed graphics decreased by approximately $692,000 or
30.6%  primarily  as a result  of a  decrease  in  revenue  recognized  upon the
expiration  of certain  cards and a decrease of licensed  product  offerings  in
1996.  Furthermore,  revenue derived from the Company's standard cards decreased
by approximately  $144,000 or 6.4%.  Revenues from the sale of promotional cards
increased by  approximately  $186,000 or 8.2%.  Sales of cards to other carriers
increased by approximately $751,000 or 33.2%. The remaining increase in revenues
of approximately  $69,000 or 3.1% was due to an increase in the sale of non-card
products and services.  Gross margins increased to 29% of net sales for the nine
months  ended  September  30,  1996,  compared  to  5.8%  of net  sales  for the
comparable  period in the  prior  year.  The  increase  in the  gross  margin is
partially  a result of the  acquisition  of Global  Link whose  margins  for the
period  approximated  31.3%. The remaining net increase in the gross margin is a
result of a decrease in  transmission  costs as a percentage of sales  resulting
primarily  from the  recognition of revenue upon the expiration of certain cards
which had no associated  transmission  costs,  offset by an increase in sales of
cards with lower margins and an increase in production  costs as a percentage of
sales primarily due to the write off of printing and production costs related to
unsold expired prepaid phone cards.

         Selling and  marketing  expenses  were  $2,016,561  for the nine months
ended  September  30,  1996,  compared  to $805,208  for the nine  months  ended
September  30,  1995,  an  increase  of  $1,211,353  or  150.4%.   Approximately
$1,051,000  or  130.5% of this  increase  is  attributable  to the  Global  Link
acquisition.  The remaining increase consists of approximately $162,000 or 20.1%
of increased  salaries due to the hiring of additional  creative,  marketing and
sales personnel, an increase of approximately $36,000 or 4.5% in travel expenses
related to the additional personnel, and an increase of approximately $78,000 or
9.7% in commissions  paid to independent  sales agents,  offset by a decrease of
approximately  $110,000 or 13.7% in costs of the  advertisement and promotion of
the Company's  products,  including  attendance at trade shows and a decrease of
approximately $6,000 or 0.7% in other selling and marketing expenses.

         General and  administrative  expenses  increased to $4,728,618  for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996, compared to $1,521,531 for the nine months
ended September 30,1995, an

                                        9


<PAGE>



increase of  $3,207,087  or 210.8%.  Approximately  $2,992,000  or 196.6% of the
increase is attributable to the Global Link acquisition.  The remaining increase
is due to approximately  $304,000 or 20% of additional  amortization of deferred
compensation  costs with respect to warrants issued to outside  consultants,  an
increase of approximately $70,000 or 4.6% in costs resulting from the relocation
of the Company's  headquarters to a larger facility and the rent expense related
to  new  sales  offices,  an  increase  of  approximately  $37,000  or  2.4%  in
depreciation  expense due to the acquisition of additional  switching equipment,
and an increase of  approximately  $59,000 or 3.9% in insurance  expense.  These
increases  were  offset  by a  decrease  of  approximately  $62,000  or  4.1% in
salaries,  a decrease of approximately  $33,000 or 2.2% in travel expenses and a
decrease in  professional  fees of  approximately  $49,000 or 3.2.  Furthermore,
costs  associated  with the  utilization  of outside  consultants  and temporary
personnel  decreased $23,000 or 1.5% and other general and administrative  costs
decreased approximately $88,000 or 5.8% in the aggregate.

         Investment and interest  income amounted to $59,971 for the nine months
ended  September  30,1996 as  compared to  $160,946  for the nine  months  ended
September  30, 1995.  The decrease of $100,975 is a result of lower  balances of
cash  and  cash  equivalents  on hand  offset  by an  increase  as a  result  of
convertible notes receivable acquired in March and May 1995.

         Interest expense for nine months ended September  30,1996  increased to
$188,147  from $0 for the nine months ended  September  30, 1995, as a result of
interest on the $2,800,000  convertible notes payable and amounts due to Peoples
Telephone Company, Inc. (Peoples) acquired from Global Link and interest expense
on capital lease obligations recorded in 1996.

         For  the  foregoing  reasons,  the  Company  incurred  a  net  loss  of
$4,423,792 for the nine months ended September 30,1996 compared to a net loss of
$2,035,188 for the nine months ended September 30,1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         At September  30, 1996 the Company had cash and cash  equivalents  of $
396,073  and a working  capital  deficit of  $6,510,540  compared to 928,516 and
$1,126,321, respectively, at December 31, 1995. This decrease in working capital
was primarily a result of the  assumption by the Company of certain  obligations
and other debt of Global Link in  connection  with the merger.  Refer to Note 10
for a discussion on the collection of convertible notes receivable.

         Net  cash  used in  operating  activities  for the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 1996 of $2,032,890 was primarily due to the Company's net loss and
a decrease in  accounts  payable  and  accrued  liabilities,  offset by non-cash
items,  including  depreciation and amortization,  increases in sales and excise
taxes  payable and  deferred  revenue  and a decrease  in  accounts  receivable.
Accounts  receivable  are  generated  pursuant  to sales of prepaid  phone cards
primarily to distributors, dealers and corporations. Deferred revenue represents
sales of prepaid phone cards for which revenue has not yet been recognized,  but
will typically be recognized in future periods as customers access long distance
services  or at the  expiration  dates of the  phone  cards.  Net  cash  used in
investing  activities for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 consisted of
$252,919 of capital  expenditures,  net of $54,190 in cash acquired in excess of
cash  payment for the Global Link  acquisition.  Net cash  provided by financing
activities  consisted of  $2,651,274 of net proceeds from the issuance of common
stock and  warrants  pursuant to a private  placement  completed  in May 1996, a
payment to Peoples of $650,000, an increase in notes receivable of $250,655 from
Global Link prior to the merger and  payments on capital  lease  obligations  of
$43,490.  The  Company  does not  have  any  material  commitments  for  capital
expenditures.


         The Company has  substantial  capital  requirements  resulting from the
funding of losses  from  operations,  the need to finance  continued  growth and
certain  payment  obligations.  The  Company  anticipates  that cash  flows will
improve as a result of the increase in revenues and  improvement  in margins are
anticipated. The Company anticipates, based on its current plans and assumptions
relating to its operations, that its cash balances, together with projected cash
flows from operations will be

                                       10


<PAGE>



sufficient to satisfy the Company's  contemplated cash requirements for the next
12 months, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. In the
event that the Company's  plans change,  its  assumptions  change or prove to be
inaccurate or cash flows otherwise prove to be insufficient to fund  operations,
the  Company  would be  required  to seek  additional  financing  or curtail its
proposed expansion and possibly its operations.
