                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in
the preparation of the financial statements.

Business

    Total Logistics, Inc. ("The Company") is a logistics consulting and
transportation brokering company that provides its services throughout the
United States.  The Company was operated as a sole proprietorship until
February 10, 1999, when the Company was incorporated and issued common stock.

Revenue Recognition

     Revenues for transportation logistics are recognized at the time that the
load is shipped.

     During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company had one customer
which accounted for approximately 50 percent of the Company's revenues and
another which accounted for approximately 34 percent of the Company's
revenues.

Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Upon sale or retirement,
the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the
respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in operations.
Maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the lives of the
respective assets are charged to expense as incurred.

     Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets
using the straight-line method:

                  Computer equipment          3 years
                  Furniture and fixtures      5 to 7 years

Income taxes

     Prior to February 10, 1999 the Company was operated as a sole
proprietorship whereby the activities were reported as a schedule on the
owner's individual federal income tax return.  Subsequent to February 10,
1999, the Company has elected to file as an S Corporation, whereby income or
loss is included in the federal income tax return of the shareholder.  The
Company did not make any federal income tax payments in 1999.

Estimates

     The preparation of these 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 year.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued

B.   Retirement Plan:

     The Company has a retirement plan consisting of a Defined Contribution
Money Purchase Pension Plan and a Defined Contribution Profit-Sharing Plan.
During 1999, the Company contributed $1,500 to the Defined Contribution Money
Purchase Pension Plan and $6,000 to the Defined Contribution Profit-Sharing
Plan.

C.   Financing:

    The Company has a bank line of credit agreement, providing for borrowings
not to exceed $50,000.  The agreement, which expires June 10, 2000, bears
interest payable monthly at two percent over the bank's prime rate (8.5% at
December 31, 1999).  The agreement is collateralized with a personal guarantee
from the Company's shareholder.  There were no outstanding borrowings at
December 31, 1999.

D.   Leases:

     The Company leases a certain office facility in its operations.  Future
minimum rental payments required under leases that have initial or remaining
terms in excess of one year at December 31, 1999 are as follows:

             Year
             2000                       $ 7,800
                                        ---------
                                        $ 7,800
                                        =========

     Rental expense for the facility for the year ended December 31, 1999 was
approximately $8,540.

ALTERNATE MARKETING NETWORKS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.  General

The pro forma consolidated balance sheet reflects the purchase by Alternate
Marketing Networks, Inc. (the "Company") on February 17, 2000 of certain fixed
assets, valued at $4,500 and operations of Total Logistics, Inc. ("TLI"), a
logistics planning and transportation brokering company for $800,000 cash and
40,816 shares of the Company's common stock.  The purchase agreement provides
for contingent consideration of a maximum of $900,000 cash if certain profit
levels are achieved at the end of a three year period. The total purchase price
for the transaction was $951,300, including $51,300 in direct acquisition
costs.  The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of fixed assets
acquired has been allocated to goodwill.

2.  Computation of Earnings Per Share

Basic income per share is determined by dividing the net income by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding.  Diluted income per share
is determined by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding while giving effect to all dilutive
potential common shares.  Shares of common stock issued in the acquisition of
TLI were assumed to have been issued on January 1, 1999.

3.  Pro Forma Combined Financial Data Compared to Historical Data

Pro forma adjustments related to the pro forma consolidated balance sheet have
been determined assuming the combination was consummated at December 31, 1999.
The cost of TLI was allocated to the fair market value of identifiable assets
acquired, and the excess was recorded as goodwill. The Company acquired only
fixed assets with a fair value of $4,500.  As such, pro forma adjustments to
the balance sheet eliminate all assets, liabilities and equity accounts from
the historical balance sheet of TLI, except the fair value of fixed assets
acquired. Pro forma adjustments to the balance sheet reflect the related
increase in fixed assets and intangible assets and the issuance of cash and
common stock by the Company in connection with the purchase of TLI.

Pro forma adjustments related to the pro forma combined statement of income are
determined assuming the combination was consummated at the beginning of 1999.
The pro forma combined results of operations vary from the combined historical
results of the Company and TLI and are due to the following:

     (a)Amortization expense reflects the amortization of goodwill which would
have resulted had the combination occurred at the beginning of 1999. Goodwill
has been amortized over a period of twenty years.

     (b)Depreciation expense reflects the depreciation of assets acquired,
determined as if the combination had taken place at the beginning of the
period.

     (c)Pro forma adjustments to selling, general and administrative expenses
reflect actions pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, including the
addition of costs resulting from a related consulting agreement, the related
reduction in executive salaries and administrative expenses arising from such
consulting agreement and the termination of previous contractual arrangements.

4.  Income Taxes

The difference between the statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate of the
pro forma combined statement of income is due to the utilization of net
operating loss carryforwards which had previously been fully reserved based on
management's assessment of the realizability of deferred tax assets in future
periods.
