CLARITI TELECOMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997
NOTE 1 - CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR-END/INTERIM PERIODS
- --------------------------------------------------
In June 1998, Clariti Telecommunications International, Ltd. (the "Company")
changed its fiscal year-end from July 31 to June 30. Therefore, the unaudited
consolidated financial statements for the prior period have been conformed to
the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1997.
The unaudited information has been prepared on the same basis as the annual
financial statements and, in the opinion of the Company's management reflects
normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
information for the periods presented.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Form 10-KSB for the period ended June 30, 1998.
The results of operations for the three-month periods ended September 30, 1998
and 1997 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year.
NOTE 2 - BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
- ----------------------------
During the three months ended September 30, 1998, Clariti Telecommunications
International, Ltd. conducted activities directed toward the research and
development of its Digital Voice Paging System.
NOTE 3 - METHOD OF ACCOUNTING
- -----------------------------
The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual method of
accounting, recognizing income when earned and expenses when incurred.
NOTE 4 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
- -----------------------------
The Company adopted FASB Statement 130, "Comprehensive Income", beginning in
the quarter ended September 30, 1998. However, the Company has no items of
comprehensive income that are excluded from net loss for either of the three
month periods ended September 30, 1998 or 1997.
NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
- --------------------------------------
The Company subcontracts certain elements of the development of its Digital
Voice Paging System to third party engineering and development firms.
Generally, such contracts provide for payments to be made by the Company on a
time and material basis. As of September 30, 1998 the Company maintained only

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997
NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------
one significant development contract with a firm fixed price of $600 thousand.
Under the terms of the contract, the Company is required to make progress
payments based on the achievement of specific milestones. As of September 30,
1998, the Company had paid $264 thousand in progress payments against such
contract.
NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES
- ---------------------
There is no income tax benefit for operating losses for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997 due to the following:
Current tax benefit - the operating losses cannot be carried back to
earlier years.
Deferred tax benefit - the deferred tax assets were offset by a valuation
allowance required by FASB Statement 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." The valuation
allowance is necessary because, according to
criteria established by FASB Statement 109, it is
more likely than not that the deferred tax asset
will not be realized through future taxable income.
NOTE 7 - COMMON STOCK
- ---------------------
During the quarter ended September 30, 1998, the Company issued 46,600 shares
of its common stock as follows:
- 40,000 shares for gross proceeds of $100 thousand less a $10 thousand
commission
- 6,600 shares valued at $18 thousand in partial settlement of obligations
due to the former chairman of the Company (Such amount was included on
the Company's June 30, 1998 consolidated balance sheet as accrued
expenses and other current liabilities.)
NOTE 8 - WARRANTS
- -----------------
From time to time, the Company may issue warrants to purchase its common stock
to parties other than employees and directors. Warrants may be issued as an
incentive to help the Company achieve its goals, or in consideration for cash
or services rendered to the Company, or a combination of the above.
Compensation cost associated with warrants issued to other than employees is
valued based on the fair value of the warrants as estimated using the Black-
Scholes model with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected
volatility of 80%, and a risk-free interest rate of 5.5%.

CLARITI TELECOMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997
NOTE 8 - WARRANTS (continued)
- -----------------------------
On July 2, 1998, the Company issued to its corporate counsel warrants to
purchase 25 thousand shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price
of $3.25 per share, the market price on the date of grant. The warrants were
issued for services rendered and expire on July 1, 2000. The Black-Scholes
model valued these warrants at $38 thousand, which had been accrued as accounts
payable on the Company's balance sheet as of June 30, 1998.
NOTE 9 - STOCK OPTIONS
- ----------------------
During the quarter ended September 30, 1998, the Company issued options to
purchase a total of 90 thousand shares of the Company's common stock to several
new employees of the Company. These stock options may be exercised over a
period of ten years at the fair market value on the date of the grant (weighted
average price of $3.0586 per share) and generally carry such other terms as are
outlined in the Company's Stock Option Plan.
NOTE 10 - NET LOSS PER SHARE
- ----------------------------
The Company utilizes FASB Statement 128, "Earnings Per Share," which
prescribes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. Under
FASB Statement 128, basic loss per common share is based upon the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss
per common share after the assumed conversion of potential common shares
(warrants, stock options and convertible debt) was not presented because the
effect of such conversions would be antidilutive. Prior period amounts for net
loss per common share were recomputed in accordance with FASB Statement 128.

PART I. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Company's consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this
report.
General Operations
- ------------------
Clariti Telecommunications International, Ltd. ("Clariti" or "the
Company") is pursuing a business strategy of bringing innovative, affordable,
wireless telecommunications products and services to markets worldwide. Clariti
is currently developing the world's first low-cost Digital Voice Paging System
for use on FM radio frequencies based on the Company's patent pending
technology.
Recent Developments
- -------------------
On November 6, 1998, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement
with GlobalFirst Holdings, Ltd. ("GlobalFirst") and a group of international
investors represented by Chadwell Hall Holdings, Ltd. ("CHH"). Under the terms
of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company will acquire 100% of the
outstanding capital stock of GlobalFirst from shareholders of GlobalFirst, and
in return the Company will issue to such shareholders or their designees
76,571,500 shares of the Company's restricted common stock. Pursuant to the
terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company's board of directors elected
the Lord Simon Clanmorris to serve as a director on the Company's board of
directors. The Lord Clanmorris is president of GlobalFirst and a former
chairman of Interoute Telecommunications Group UK, a major European telecom
provider. In connection with the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company will be
required to obtain consent from a majority of its shares to increase the number
of the Company's authorized shares of common stock.
GlobalFirst has operating subsidiaries and businesses located throughout
Europe involved with business and residential telecom services including
transatlantic fiber optic voice and data transmission (through its virtual
private telecom network), prepaid mobile phones, prepaid phone cards and
personal communication offices ("PCO's"). GlobalFirst's current operations are
generating revenue at an annualized rate of approximately $100 million. The
combined companies will continue to be known as Clariti Telecommunications
International, Ltd. Closing of the Share Exchange Agreement is scheduled for
December 15, 1998. Financial statements for GlobalFirst are not currently
available. However, the Company expects to file a Form 8-K with required
financial statements and pro forma financial information within time
constraints stipulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Share Exchange Agreement also provides that CHH or its designees will
purchase an additional 11,428,500 shares of the Company's restricted common
stock for $20 million cash. As of November 6, 1998, the Company had received
$9.15 million of this amount. The terms of the Share Exchange Agreement
require the remaining $10.85 million to be received by the Company upon
closing of the Share Exchange Agreement.

Three Months Ended September 30, 1998
v. Three Months Ended September 30, 1997
- ----------------------------------------
Results of Operations
For the three months ended September 30, 1998 ("Fiscal 1Q99"), the Company
incurred a net loss of $1,366 thousand on no revenues compared to a net loss of
$1,153 thousand on no revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1997
("Fiscal 1Q98"), an increase in the net loss of $213 thousand. Factors
contributing to the increase in the net loss are described in the following
paragraphs.
For Fiscal 1Q99, officers' compensation was $291 thousand as compared to
$231 thousand for Fiscal 1Q98, an increase of $60 thousand, or 26%. The
increase was due to the addition of a President of the Company who was hired in
October 1997 and regularly scheduled salary increases for existing officers.
Other salaries and payroll costs increased $50 thousand, or 93%, from $54
thousand in Fiscal 1Q98 to $104 thousand in Fiscal 1Q99. This increase was due
to the addition of several new employees in support of the Company's
development of its Digital Voice Paging System.
For Fiscal 1Q99, consulting fees were $235 thousand as compared to
$177 thousand for Fiscal 1Q98, an increase of $58 thousand, or 33%. The
increase was primarily due to amortization of prepaid consulting fees incurred
during Fiscal 1Q99 partially offset by lower fees paid to consultants and
investment bankers who assisted the Company in raising equity capital. Travel
expenses increased $66 thousand, or 80%, from $83 thousand in Fiscal 1Q98 to
$149 thousand in Fiscal 1Q99. This increase was largely due to greater
overseas travel for the purpose of developing joint venture relationships with
local companies in specified target areas. Interest income decreased $9
thousand, or 43%, from $21 thousand in Fiscal 1Q98 to $12 thousand in Fiscal
1Q99. This decrease is due to lower average cash balances available for
investment during Fiscal 1Q99.
The expense increases described above were partially offset by lower
professional fees. For Fiscal 1Q99, professional fees were $56 thousand as
compared to $100 thousand for Fiscal 1Q98, a decrease of $44 thousand or 44%.
The decrease resulted from lower legal fees incurred to the Company's
securities counsel and corporate counsel.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 1998, the Company had a working capital deficit of $198
thousand (including a cash balance of $419 thousand) as compared to working
capital of $1,034 thousand (including a cash balance of $1,391 thousand) at
June 30, 1998. The working capital decrease of $1,232 thousand largely
reflects the use of cash in operations during Fiscal 1Q99.
As of November 6, 1998, the Company maintained a cash balance of $8,241
thousand. The increase of $7,822 thousand since September 30, 1998 is due to
the receipt of $9,150 thousand in connection with the Share Exchange Agreement
described above. Management believes that these funds will enable the Company
to complete the process of developing of its Digital Voice Paging System.
Management is aware however that additional funding will be required to launch
11
<PAGE>
the Digital Voice Paging System in specified target markets. There can be no
assurances that such funding will be generated or available, or if available,
on terms acceptable to the Company. In addition, management is aware that
there can be no assurances that the Digital Voice Paging System will be
developed into a commercially successful business. Finally, there can be no
assurance that the Company will complete its acquisition of GlobalFirst or, if
the acquisition is completed that the Company will be able to successfully
integrate the operations of the Company and GlobalFirst.
