SYSTEMS COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Systems Communications, Inc. ("SCI"), a Florida corporation organized in
1987, is a holding company which is principally engaged, through subsidiaries,
in the businesses of healthcare management and telecommunication services.
The Company's principal strategic objective is to assist large
self-insurers to improve the management and administration of their healthcare
benefit plans by reducing costs and improving care through the use of
sophisticated healthcare information systems that access substantial
healthcare data bases. Similarly, the Company's telecommunications unit
provides assistance to municipalities, institutions and commercial users of
telephone and utility services by conducting cost control audits designed to
reduce and prevent errors in telephone and utility billings and operates as a
switchless reseller of long distance services and as a reseller of operator
services and Pay-Per-View television products, principally to the hospitality
industry.
SCI underwent several corporate name changes from inception until 1991
and, at various times, was a merchandiser of optical products and a developer
of residential homes. SCI was inactive in 1992 and 1991. SCI commenced its
telecommunications operations in August, 1994 when it acquired Ameristar
Telecommunications, Inc. ("ATI"), an Illinois corporation, and Coast
Communications, Inc. ("CCI"), an Arizona corporation. It increased its
commitment to this business line with the acquisitions of LCI Communications,
Inc. ("LCI") and Comstar Network Services, Inc. ("Comstar"), both Florida
corporations, in June 1995 and Telcom Network, Inc. ("Telcom" or "TNI"), a
Delaware corporation, in July 1995. After the acquisition of Telcom, the
operations of Telcom, LCI and Comstar were combined. SCI commenced its health
care management services business when it acquired National Solutions
Corporation ("NSC"), a Pennsylvania corporation, in October, 1995. This
business was recently augmented with the acquisition of Health Management
Technologies ("HMT"), a California corporation in March 1996.
The amounts and types of consideration provided by the company for each
of these acquisitions are described in Note 4 to the consolidated financial
statements included herein.
In May 1996, the Company gave notice to the former shareholders of CCI of
its intent to rescind the purchase transaction. The recission of the Company's
investment in CCI did not have a material affect on the financial position or
results of operations of the Company.
SCI and these subsidiaries are hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Company."
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Company's operations are classified into two industry segments:
healthcare cost management and cost containment products and services
("Healthcare") and telecommunications products and services
("Telecommunications").
Fiscal 1995. Net revenues, operating loss and identifiable assets
attributable to the Healthcare segment for 1995 (the first partial year in
which this segment has been engaged in business) were, respectively, $91,106;
$(363,857); and $15,575,741. Net revenues, operating loss and identifiable
assets attributable to the Telecommunications segment for 1995 were,
respectively, $2,893,778; $(3,690,064); and $2,709,226. See Note 15 to the
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements for additional segment information.
Current liabilities at December 31, 1995 were $5,417,864 (of which $1,579,395
represented related party indebtedness) and current assets were $4,156,868.

<PAGE> 3
First Half 1996. Net revenues, operating loss and identifiable assets
attributable to the Healthcare segment for the first half of 1996 ending
June 30 were, respectively, $709,863; $(1,649,732); and $18,561,826. Net
revenues, operating loss and identifiable assets attributable to the
Telecommunications segment for the first half of 1996 ending June 30 were,
respectively, $1,268,477; (670,052); and 2,173,860. Current liabilities at
June 30, 1996 were $6,755,998 (of which $1,619,750 represented related party
indebtedness) and current assets were $3,455,568.
The Company has been involved in an active acquisition program for the
past two years and management has devoted considerable time and effort in
implementing this program. Management believes it has largely been successful
in acquiring healthcare businesses which are believed to have significant
potential. In particular, it is encouraged by the prospects for its NSC
business in light of the exclusive rights to its sophisticated, healthcare
management information software technology and benefit plan data bases; and,
for its HMT business in light of recent market acceptance of its New PC based
RETURN(R) for Managed Care software product. Mutual of Omaha, New York Life,
University of Michigan Hospital and John Hopkins University have all signed
contracts in the third quarter of 1996 for HMT's new managed care software
product. Chrysler and Ford have also executed contract extensions for NSC's
healthcare management products. As of December 31, 1995, the
telecommunications business was part of the Company for less than sixteen
months and the healthcare business less than three months. During this short
and expansionary operating history, large operating losses have been incurred
which management is striving to reverse.
At the time the Company acquired its various businesses, particularly NSC
and Telcom, it anticipated that such businesses would generate higher revenues
and operating income than those which have been achieved to date. The
principal reasons for the shortfall from original expectations are higher than
expected costs to fully complete the commercialization, marketing and sale of
NSC's healthcare management decision software technology and delays in
implementing NSC's strategic initiatives in the areas of marketing, sales,
operations and new product development, principally due to constraints on the
part of the Company to fund those collective efforts. Similarly, the future
development of new healthcare management products and enhancements of existing
products by HMT is limited by constraints on the ability of the Company to
fund those efforts.
With respect to the telecommunications segment, revenues and profits were
severely impacted by the failure of GE Capital Communications Services
Corporation ("GECCS") and News Enterprises Wholesale Services Limited
Partnership ("News", a wholly-owned subsidiary of GECCS) which, together,
supplied telecommunication products to Telcom for resale to residential and
business customers. The Company has spent over a year and has borne the cost
of a binding arbitration proceeding with GECCS and News as more fully described
herein. The actions of GECCS and News halted TNI's marketing plans and the
receipt of revenues due to TNI (pending resolution of the arbitration).
Constraints on the ability of the Company to fund new business opportunities
available to ATI, principally in Mexico, have also contributed to the lower
than expected performance of that business. The Company has recently obtained
a $250,000 financing commitment for ATI's pay-per-view (PPV) equipment needs
for the first phase of its entrance into the Mexican hospitality market. ATI
has executed contracts with 10 resort properties for installation of its PPV
product in Mexico. The Company anticipates such properties to be in
service in the fourth quarter of 1996. While initial financing arrangements
are in place, additional financing will be required to fully implement the
strategic initiatives of ATI.
The Company currently believes that it will require approximately $4-6
million, including obligatons associated with its various business
acquisitions, to further expand the commercialization and marketing of NSC's
healthcare information systems technology and further develop and
enhance HMT's PC based software products for managed care and occupational
health. Additionally, the Company will require financing, over the amount
arranged to date, to fully implement ATI's strategic initiatives in Mexico and
in other foreign countries. The present financing source for ATI's
initiatives in Mexico has indicated its willingness to provide additional
financing subject to initial operating results achieved by ATI from its entry
into Mexico. Presently, the Company does not intend to utilize resources to
fund the switchless long-distance resale operations of Telcom and is pursuing
other available alternatives regarding that business. The Company, however,
has been successful in expanding the business base of Telcom's utility audit
division and currently expects to support those efforts.
The Company is pursuing numerous avenues to finance its businesses and is
currently in discussion with various institutional investors and lenders and
potential strategic alliance healthcare related business partners. These
discussions may result in financing to implement the strategic and operational
plans of the Company and its subsidiaries, but there is no assurance that any
financing commitments will be obtained (See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"). If the Company is
unable to obtain additional financing, it may not be able to carry-out its
strategic and business objectives in which case the viability of the company
would be in doubt. In such event, the Company would be required to divest
assets or businesses or seek other alternatives in order to maintain operations.
The future success of the Company is dependent upon numerous factors, the
most significant of which are: (i) successful completion of its healthcare
information systems development efforts and the commercialization and
marketing of that technology to others; (ii) the ability of the Company to
successfully implement a marketing and distribution system for its existing and
new healthcare management products; (iii) the ability of the Company to
generate profitable operations from its pay-per-view and telecommunications
related businesses; and (iv) the ability of the Company to raise additional
equity or debt capital until such time as it achieves profitable operations.
(See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.")
As discussed elsewhere herein, the Company is encouraged by the
prospects of its healthcare management subsidiaries and believes they
will make the Company profitable in the future if the Company can invest
sufficient funds in them. These funds are required to fully implement
marketing, operational and new product development plans, and to provide
working capital until such time as these subsidiaries generate adequate cash
flows from operations.
In connection with certain of its business acquisitions, the Company is
obligated, over the next two years, to provide or arrange working capital and
equipment financing transactions to provide funds totaling approximately $2.7
million for the use of acquired companies. While the Company believes it will
be able to arrange such financing in one or more debt or equity financing
transactions or from cash provided by operations, there is no assurance that it
will be able to do so, in which case the acquired companies could seek to
enforce such financing commitments. In that event, it is uncertain whether or
not the Company would be able to fulfill such financing commitments in which
case the Company the would be required to seek other available alternatives.
Additionally, as discussed in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements,
included elsewhere herein, the Company has been notified by the Michigan
Department of Commerce and Securities Bureau that it has offered and sold
securities in the State of Michigan without an exemption from registration
under the Michigan Uniform Securities Act. As part of the proposed consent
order from the State of Michigan, the Company will be required to offer a right
of rescission to Michigan purchasers of its securities. The Company may also
be required to offer a right of rescission to purchasers of its securities in
other states where the requirements of applicable exemptions may not have been
met. It is uncertain whether the requirements of states other than State of
Michigan were not met. If rescissions are required in other states it is also
uncertain whether or not sufficient funds will be available to complete such
rescission offers. Enforcement sanctions relative to the sale of unregistered,
non-exempt securities may also include fines and restrictions on the Company's
ability to sell securities in those states.
The Company has not yet completed its legal analysis with respect to states
other than the State of Michigan. If the Company is required to offer
rescissions in other states, it is unlikely that the Company could complete
such rescission offers without additional financing commitments, in which case
the viability of the Company would be in doubt. However, management currently
believes that it is likely that a substantial number of shareholders would
reject such rescission offers, in the event such offers are made, in light the
fact that current quotations for the Company's common stock exceed the
purchase price of the stock acquired by those purchasers and in light of the
prospects for its healthcare business. The maximum exposure, if the company
were to offer rescissions in all jurisdictions where it has sold its stock, is
estimated to be in the range of $4-$6 million.
As of June 30, 1996, the company estimates its maximum potential exposure
as a result of the proposed rescission offer in the State of Michigan to be
approximately $827,000, including interest of approximately $38,000. The
number of shares subject to rescission in the State of Michigan is approximately
242,000. As discussed above, it is unlikely that the Company would be able to
complete a rescission offer in Michigan without additional financing
commitments.

HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT SERVICES
SCI's healthcare management services division consists of NSC and HMT.
The principal business of NSC is (i) to enhance, for commercial use,
healthcare management decision software technology acquired from the U.S.
Government pursuant to the Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986, as amended,
and (ii) sell the benefits from the use of that technology to large,
self-insured companies and other healthcare plan administrators. NSC's software
technology is designed to identify unnecessary costs and manage healthcare
benefits. NSC anticipates using its computer software and data bases to assist
these companies and administrators to improve the management and administration
of their healthcare benefit plans in connection with their efforts to control
and manage healthcare costs. The revenues of NSC to date have been derived
from the analysis of healthcare claims that have previously been paid by large
self-insured customers such as Chrysler Corporation. NSC processes these
claims using its healthcare management decision software technology and data
bases and subcontracts part of the medical coding process to Health Management
Services ("HMS"). The agreement with HMS calls for a portion of revenues
derived by NSC, which typically range from 25% to 30% of recovered claims, to
be paid to HMS. HMS's portion of revenues derived by NSC typically ranges from
50% - 60%. NSC contemplates that its software capabilities will
ultimately allow it to minimize or eliminate the use of subcontractors, such
as HMS.
HMT develops and markets PC software products and services for managing
cases of Workers' Compensation and other work absences in order to facilitate
return to work and monitoring general employee health. The software products
and systems provide not only data collection and processing but represent
work-in-progress tools applied to information management and decision support.
Costs are controlled by reducing case severity and frequency, using the
software as a tool to coordinate and manage cases, document and monitor care
delivery, produce mandated reports, monitor medical service utilization and
costs, communicate with providers and other case participants and to analyze
case outcomes. The goal is to achieve a significant reduction in both the human
and financial toll of work place accidents.
The revenues of NSC from the date of acquisition to December 31, 1995 and
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $91,106 and $244,703,
respectively. The revenues of HMT for the period from the date of acquisition
to June 30, 1996 were $465,160.
Both NSC and HMT have recently announced the release of new and enhanced
healthcare management products. Continuum(R), released by NSC, is a product
enhancement to its present medical analysis support and episodic treatment
system (the "Medical Support Analysis System"). The CONTINUUM(R) enhancement
builds a continuum of illness for each patient beginning with the first
illness-related diagnosis and continues until the illness is cured or the
patient expires. CONTINUUM(R) groups diagnosis and treatment data on the
patient by the seventeen categories of illnesses established by the AMA.
The recently released RETURN(R) for Managed Care by HMT is closely related to
its RETURN(R) for Occupational Health. Both are upstream data
collection, documentation and analysis tools targeted to their specific markets
for the purpose of managing Workers' Compensation, Short and Long Term
Disability and other group health costs. RETURN(R) for Occupational Health is
PC software designed for employers and medical providers to document employee
health issues related to Workers' Compensation and other medical claims,
monitor health status in context with regulatory requirements to analyze the
data, all leading to identify and preventing new injuries or illness, thereby
creating cost savings for employers. RETURN(R) for Managed Care is PC software
for insurers, Third Party administrators, HMO's and healthcare management
companies who cut health costs on behalf of employers by applying managed care
methodologies to cases in order to keep the cases on course while using the
software to guide decisions and document the process.
Licenses and Agreements. On June 2, 1994, NSC entered into a joint
research and development agreement with the U.S. Department of the Army to
develop and commercialize a statistical data base and related software to be
used by the uniformed services to reduce the costs associated with their
healthcare benefits--the Civilian Health and Medical Program for the Uniformed
Services ("CHAMPUS"). Under the agreement, NSC has an irrevocable, perpetual
license to use the data base and software in the area of health and medical
plan benefits for self-insured companies and U.S. and foreign governmental
entities. NSC's rights are exclusive for three years. The joint research and
development agreement for the license of NCS's acquired software expires on
June 1, 1997 at which time the agreement can be extended, on an exclusive basis,
upon mutual consent of the parties. Unless the agreement is extended by the
mutual consent of the parties, the license to use the software technology will
convert to a non-exclusive, perpetual license.
The software system was developed by the Army, Navy and Air Force (the
"Tri-Services") at a cost of over twenty million dollars, and has reduced the
costs related to providing healthcare for retirees and dependents of men and
women serving in the uniformed services. The CHAMPUS data base covers over 18
million individuals. This technology has been enhanced and incorporated into
NSC's technology base. The analytical measurements, profiling and other
decision-making tools have been incorporated into NSC's software and data
bases, increasing the comprehensive analysis and decision-making capabilities
of NSC's current technology.
4
<PAGE> 5
On March 9, 1995, HMT entered into an agreement with Medicode, Inc.
which is engaged in the business of developing, licensing, and publishing data
and computer software relating to the medical services industry. The agreement
with Medicode gives HMT the right to resell Medicodes' standard medical coding
which is used in connection with HMT's RETURN(R) products. This is a
value-added product addition to HMT's product line which enables HMT to provide
medical coding services to its customers along with its RETURN(R) products.
Services and Products. Utilizing its commercially enhanced software, NSC
has the ability to analyze companies' medical claims by (i) comparing these
claims against its CHAMPUS data base of medical claims, and (ii) identifying
which claims were paid or billed inappropriately. NSC provides support and
assistance to pursue recovery from the responsible parties, and has the ability
to process the data on an ongoing basis within three weeks after claim
adjudication. On a prospective basis, by using the NSC data base of
enrollment, coordination of benefits, and claims information prior to the time
of payment, companies have the opportunity to intervene and avoid making
erroneous payments. From its analysis of a company's claims payments, NSC is
able to generate reports which evaluate the company's entire system for
delivering healthcare benefits to the plans' beneficiaries.
NSC has developed a master data base containing the healthcare program
activities of its clients. By monitoring and updating companies' claims, NSC
is continuously expanding the range of information concerning healthcare
benefit plans in its master data base.
HMT's RETURN software program documents, monitors and analyzes clinic
visits, work status, case costs, and medical utilization in workers'
compensation cases. The RETURN(R) software products sold by HMT were developed
by HMT.
Market. The market for NSC's services include large corporations that
self-insure, such as those in the automobile industry, that have relied on
third-party administrators to manage their healthcare benefits program. Most
large corporations' healthcare claims usually go directly to third-party
administrators where they are validated and paid by the third-party
administrators with the corporations' funds. Given the volume of claims, it is
difficult for the companies' own qualified healthcare specialists to monitor
unnecessary healthcare benefits costs.
The Company has also targeted healthcare programs administered by state
and municipal governments and certain foreign governments. Although no
contracts have as yet been entered into, the Company has had exploratory
discussions with several states and two foreign governments and believes that
these and other governments have cost-control needs for their healthcare
programs at least comparable to those of the large corporations which
self-insure.
The market for HMT's services include large corporations that self-insure,
managed care organizations, hospital organizations, and occupational health
programs.
Customers. NSC entered into a service agreement with Chrysler Corporation
in 1993 which accounted for a majority of NSC's 1995 revenues. Since that
time, NSC has entered into service agreements with Ford Motor Company, GTE
Service Corporation, and Philadelphia American Life Insurance Company. As
compensation for its services, NSC receives a percentage of the savings which
it obtains for its customers.
5
<PAGE> 6
As described above, NSC pays a portion of the revenues it receives from
customers to certain subcontractors in return for medical coding services.
HMT has over 300 clients which include insurance companies, governmental
agencies, third-party administrators, self-administered self-insureds,
consulting firms and businesses. Among these are Levi Strauss & Co., the Coca
Cola Company, Nabisco, Inc., Blue Cross of California, and Rush-Presbyterian
St. Luke's Hospital in Chicago, IL. The program assists employers in
maximizing the benefit of using a well-defined information system to reduce
overall claim costs and understand the nature of healthcare costs in the
organization.
Competition. Third-party administrators such as Cigna and Blue Cross Blue
Shield currently are the competition for NSC's approach to control healthcare
costs of large self-insurers. These third-party administrators have
substantially greater financial resources than the Company but management
believes none of these competitors have the advanced software technology and
data base capabilities of NSC.
HMT's competitors include companies that produce clinical knowledge
software and data base products enabling healthcare providers to manage the
financial risk associated with the delivery of healthcare services.
HMT's principal competitors include Line Case Management Services, Conway
Computer, IMA Technologies, Pyramid W/C Claims and Care Ware Systems, Inc.
Because RETURN(R) can be used across various industries, competition varies by
market segment. The Company believes its RETURN(R) products are superior to
those of its competitors as the RETURN(R) products offer systems that can
integrate data across the data and information continuum.
Employees. As of May 1, 1996, NSC had 9 employees and HMT had 18
employees.
TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES
The major companies in SCI's Telecommunications Services division include
Telcom Network, Inc. ("Telcom") and Ameristar Telecommunications, Inc. ("ATI").
Telcom provides assistance to municipalities, institutions and commercial
users of telephone and utility services by conducting cost control audits
designed to reduce and prevent errors in telephone and utility billings.
Utilizing experienced utility bill auditors, the audit team analyzes local
utility and phone billings and applies for refunds if applicable. The audit
team is familiar with the methods used by utility and telecommunication
companies to arrive at the rates and charges a business pays. The team
utilizes this information to verify that payments are correct and to identify
charges that will reduce future costs. Because most state laws now mandate a
full refund on documented claims plus 12% interest, the size of the client
refund can be substantial.
Telcom's audit services are provided on a contingency basis with respect
to retroactive analysis savings. If billing errors are found, the audit firm
will negotiate with the utility or telephone company to obtain a refund or
credit for the client. The audit firm (subcontractor) provides the manpower
and audit methodology to identify erroneous utility and telephone charges made
to TNI's customers by the service provider. Typically, the customer receives
50%-60% of recovered monies and TNI and the audit firm, each, receive 20% - 25%
of recovered monies. The Company typically receives, after subcontractor costs,
an amount approximating one-quarter of the recovery rate. The recovery rate
generally amounts to 3% of total auditable billings. In addition, the Company's
utility and telephone billing audit contracts typically provide that TNI will
receive 50% of the forward savings (identified at the time of the audit) for a
period of two years. In 1995, Telcom was awarded contracts to perform audits
on $185 million of utility billings. In the first half of 1996, Telcom has
6
<PAGE> 7
been awarded contracts for approximately $130 million of utility billings.
It's major customers are the City of Tampa, Florida, The University of Florida
and Florida State University, AAA Corporate Headquarters, located in Lake Mary,
Florida, St. Johns County, Florida and Goodings Supermarkets.
The contracts awarded to TNI in 1995 and 1996 are in the performance stage
and have not yet generated any significant amounts of revenue. These contract
awards are expected to generate revenues as the audits are completed and
amounts are recovered from the service provider. The backlog, as discussed
above, is over $300 million in auditable amounts.
Telcom has also operated as a switchless reseller of long distance
services. As a reseller of long-distance telephone and other
telecommunications services, TNI contracts with other long distance companies
and providers of telecommunications services, including GECCS and News, in a
subcontract marketing capacity. TNI markets these products and services to
residential and small business customers via sales distribution relationships
in return for a percentage of the billed and collected revenues of its
customers. While Telcom has the ability to continue this business, its
revenues and operations have been severely and adversely affected by a dispute
with GECCS and News (See "Legal Proceedings" and "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"). This dispute
is subject to an arbitration proceeding, based on the latest information
available to the Company, it expects the arbitration panel to render its
decision by the end of September 1996.
ATI sells Operator Service Provider ("OSP") and Pay-Per-View ("PPV")
programs to small and medium sized hotels and motels, currently in 20 states in
the U.S. PPV is a product in high demand for small to mid-sized hotel and
motel properties but approximately 90% of the hotels and motels in this
category do not provide this amenity because of the capital cost involved. To
address this need, ATI provides the PPV equipment and installation cost free to
hotel/motel operators in return for five to ten year contracts designating ATI
as the telecommunications provider for the hotel/motel room phones and the
hotel/motel pay phones. ATI receives approximately 90% of the PPV revenue and
40% of the phone billings of the customers during the contract term.
Licenses and Agreements. ATI has negotiated contract agreements with
Inter-Exchange Carriers ("IXC's") and Operator Service Provider ("OSP")
companies. These ATI provider agreements, negotiated on behalf of ATI's
network of customers and agents, allow special pricing and value-added services
otherwise unavailable to the individual company or concern. This focus allows
ATI to provide telecommunication benefits to small and medium sized hotels,
eliminating competitive advantages previously extended only to large
corporations. Over 15 IXC and OSP companies are under contract with ATI.
Management believes these OSP and PPV products are exportable to small and
medium hotels in certain foreign countries and has over 3,000 rooms under
contract in Mexico.
Market. As of June 30, 1996, ATI had approximately 4,900 rooms under
contract and in service for its bundled OSP/PPV product. These contracts for
PPV and OSP services eliminate the customer retention problems associated with
many telecommunications packages. ATI has targeted major Mexican resorts as a
potential for its OSP/PPV products.
Competition. The principal competition for the business of hotel and
motel properties in the United States in the OSP/PPV area are large, satellite
oriented companies such as Spectradine Corp. that principally market to the
larger hotel chains. ATI perceives its niche to be the small to mid-size hotel
properties which have less than 200 rooms. ATI believes it has a competitive
advantage over the larger satellite-serviced hotels because these hotels
provide movies only at a specific time whereas ATI's product consists of a bank
of first release VCR movies that are directly accessible at any time by
telephone.
Employees. As of May 1, 1996, Telcom had 16 employees and ATI had 5
employees.

</TABLE>
As more fully discussed below and elsewhere herein, the operating results
of acquired businesses are well below those which were anticipated at the time
of the respective acquisitions. The business of TNI has been severely damaged
by GECCS and News; the revenues of NSC are less than those which were
anticipated at the time of the acquisition; and, NSC's costs to fully complete
the commercializiation, marketing, and sale of its healthcare information
system software technology are higher than those originally expected. These
factors, combined, have strained the financial resources of the Company. For
futher discussion of the impact of these events and uncertainties on future
operations and the Company's financial positon, See "Liquidity and Capital
Resources".
Operations of Business Acquired
In 1995, the Company acquired various businesses, the most significant of
which were Telcom, acquired July 1995, and NSC, acquired October 1995; and, in
March 1996, the Company acquired HMT.
The net assets of Telcom, NSC and HMT, at historical cost, as of the
respective dates of their acquisition by the Company are summarized as follows:

</TABLE>
The net revenues and loss from operations of Telcom for the period from
the date of acquisition (July 7, 1995) to December 31, 1995 were $2,373,475 and
$3,102,472, (including the goodwill write-down of $2,758,779), respectively,
and $1,024,231 and $590,811, respectively, for the six months ended June 30,
1996. Telcom's operating results for the period subsequent to the date of
acquisition were adversely affected by (i) the failure of GE Capital
Communications Services Corporation ("GECCS") and News Enterprise Wholesale
Services Limited Partnership ("News") to, among other things, provision
customer accounts for telecommunications products offered by GECCS/News and
sold by Telcom pursuant to a contractual agreement among Telcom, GECCS and
News, (ii) the cancellation of Telcom customers by GECCS and News, (iii) the
failure of GECCS/News to properly bill and collect revenues due to Telcom and
(iv) a diminution of Telcom's marketing and distribution organization as a
result of such failures and other actions taken by GECCS and News. See "Legal
Proceedings" and Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included
elsewhere herein. The diminution in Telcom's marketing and distribution
organization that occurred as a result of such failures and other actions taken
by GECCS and News, together with limitations on the ability of the Company to
provide additional working capital to Telcom, continues to adversely affect
Telcom's operations.
The net revenues and loss from operations of NSC for the period from the
date of acquisition (October 27, 1995) to December 31, 1995 were $91,106 and
$367,386, respectively, and $244,703 and $1,525,234, respectively, for the six
months ended June 30, 1996. Negatively impacting NSC's operating results
during these periods were lower than expected revenues from retroactive
healthcare claims analysis and recovery services, the cost of software
development activities and costs related to sales and marketing of NSC's
healthcare decision management products.
The net revenues and loss from operations of HMT for the period from the
date of acquisition (March 12, 1996) to June 30, 1996 were $465,160 and
$124,498 respectively. The loss from operations principally reflects costs
related to the enhancement of existing products and development of new
products.

<PAGE> 11
NET REVENUES
The increase in net revenues from 1994 to 1995 and in the first half of
1996 versus 1995 includes the net revenues of businesses acquired ($2,464,597
for the year ended December 31, 1995 and $1,734,094 for the six months ended
June 30, 1996) and a reduction in pay telephone revenues due to management's
decision to target the OSP and PPV hospitality market, which reduction has not
been fully offset by the growth in PPV and OSP revenues. The decrease in 1994
net revenues as compared to 1993 also reflects the decision by the Company to
reduce its commitment to the pay phone industry.
COST OF HEALTHCARE REVENUES
The changes in the cost of healthcare revenues from period to period are
the result of acquisitons of businesses. See "Operations of Businesses
Acquired".
COST OF TELECOMMUNICATION REVENUES
The relationship of the cost of telecommunications revenues to net
telecommunications revenues changed dramatically in 1995 as compared to 1994.
This change was principally due to the acquisition of Telcom and the inclusion
of the cost of long distance services provided to Telcom's customers in the
cost of telecommunications revenues. In 1995, the Company also made a
provision of $145,776 to reduce the value of obsolete PPV equipment to net
realizable value. Prior to 1995, the cost of telecommunication revenues
principally reflected the cost of PPV installation, only. Similarly, the
increase in the cost of telecommunications revenues in the first half of
1996 versus 1995 is principally the result of businesses acquired.
SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling and administrative expenses increased by $2,960,226 in 1995 over
1994. Of this amount, $978,310 was due to businesses acquired during the year,
including costs incurred in connection with the arbitration proceeding with
GECCS/News. The remaining increase principally reflects higher corporate
expenses for personnel, office space and information systems for expanded
operations and legal, professional and consulting costs incurred in connection
with the Company's acquisition activities and includes $793,373 from the
issuance of stock and common stock purchase warrants for services rendered and
in consideration for extension of related party indebtedness. Similarly, the
increase in the first quarter of 1996 versus 1995 is due to businesses acquired
and higher corporate expenses.
GOODWILL WRITE-DOWN
At December 31, 1995, the Company recognized a charge to income of
$2,758,779 to write off, with no associated income tax benefit, all of the
goodwill related to its acquisition of TNI. This write-off reflects the
Company's belief that the business of TNI has been severely damaged as a result
of actions taken by GECCS and News which actions included, among other things,
(i) the failure of GECCS/News to provision customer accounts for
telecommunications products and services offered by GECCS/News and sold by TNI
pursuant to a contractual agreement among TNI, GECCS and News, (ii) the
cancellation of TNI customers by
11
<PAGE> 12
GECCS/News and (iii) the failure of GECCS/News to properly bill and collect
revenues due to TNI. As further discussed in Note 14 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements, included elsewhere herein, the Company is the claimant in
a binding arbitration proceeding against GECCS/News seeking damages of
approximately $5 million arising from such actions. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements do not give effect to amounts, if any, that
may be realized by the Company from such proceedings. Amounts realized, if any,
will be recognized in income when determinable. Based on the latest
information available to the Company, it expects the arbitration panel to
render its decision by the end of September 1996.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization increased in 1995 over 1994 and in the first
half of 1996 versus 1995 principally due to the amortization of intangibles
and goodwill arising from business acquisitions and a higher investment in
furniture and equipment. The increase from 1993 to 1994 principally reflects a
higher investment in furniture and equipment.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense was $84,110, $2,421 and $-0- in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively, and $164,166 in the first half of 1996. The increases from
period-to-period in interest expense are principally due to higher levels of
borrowings outstanding, principally from related parties, and interest accrued
on common stock subject to rescission.
INCOME TAXES
For information concerning the deferred income tax benefit recorded in
1995, as well as information regarding deferred income tax assets and
liabilities as of December 31, 1995 and the Company's effective tax rate, see
Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In the first half of 1996,
the Company recorded a deferred income tax benefit of $1,317,000 attributable
primarily to the operating loss for the quarter.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The principal factors having a negative impact on the Company's liquidity
during fiscal 1995 were cash used in operations of approximately $1.8 million
(see the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows), acquisitions of businesses
which required approximately $1.4 million in cash and other investing
activities of approximately $250,000. The positive impacts on liquidity during
the fiscal year were the proceeds of approximately $4.1 million from the
issuance of common stock and borrowings, principally from related parties, net
of repayments, of approximately $210,000.
The principal factors having a negative impact on the Company's liquidity
in the first half of 1996 were cash used in operations of approximately $2.5
million (see the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows) capital expenditures of
approximately $450,000, and debt repayments, of approximately $227,000. The
positive impacts on liquidity in the first half of 1996 were the proceeds of
approximately $1.8 million from the issuance of common stock and proceeds from
related party notes and debentures of approximately $550,000.
12
<PAGE> 13
The Company anticipates that it will continue to consume cash in its
business operations until such time as it is able to arrange financing (i) to
expand the commercialization and marketing of NSC's healthcare information
systems technology, (ii) further develop and enhance HMT's PC based
software products for managed care and occupational health and (iii) fund the
capital requirements of its OSP and PPV business. As of June 30, 1996, the
Company and its subsidiaries have no material used or unused lines of credit.
The Company is pursuing numerous avenues to finance the its businesses
and is currently in discussion with various institutional investors and lenders
and potential strategic alliance healthcare related business partners, which
may result in financing commitments to fund the activities described above, but
there is no assurance that any of these discussions will result in a financing
commitment. The Company is also waiting on a decision regarding the GECCS/News
arbitration proceeding which if favorable would provide the Company with
additional short-term liquidity. A decision by the arbitration panel is
expected by the end of September 1996. The Company also contemplates a public
offering of its common stock subsequent to completion of any rescission offers
that may be appropriate as more fully described below.
The Company has recently obtained a $250,000 financing commitment for its
PPV equipment needs for the first phase of its entrance into the Mexican
market. While this financing is in place, additional financing will be required
to fully implement the strategic objectives of ATI.
The Company currently believes that it will require approximately $4-6
million, including the obligations described in the following paragraph, to
(i) further expand the commercialization and marketing of NSC's healthcare
information system technology, (ii) further develop and enhance HMT's PC based
software products for managed care and occupational health and (iii) continue
to develop its PPV and OSP business in Mexico. Without additional financing,
it is unlikely that the Company would be able to achieve profitable operations,
in which case the viability of the Company as a going concern is in
doubt. In such event, the Company would be required to divest assets or
businesses or seek other alternatives in order to maintain operations.
In connection with certain of its business acquisitions, the Company is
obligated, over the next two years, to provide or arrange working capital and
equipment financing transactions totaling approximately $2.7 million. While
the Company believes that it will be able to arrange such financing in one or
more debt or equity financing transactions or from cash provided by operations,
there is no assurance that the Company will in fact be able to do so, in which
case the acquired companies could seek to enforce such financing commitments.
In that event, it is uncertain whether or not the Company would be able to
fulfill such financing commitments in which case the Company would be required
to seek other available alternatives.
Additionally, as discussed in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, included elsewhere herein, the Company has been notified by the
Michigan Department of Commerce and Securities Bureau that it has offered and
sold securities in the State of Michigan without an exemption from registration
under the Michigan Uniform Securities Act. As part of the proposed consent
order from the State of Michigan, the Company will be required to offer a right
of rescission to Michigan purchasers of its common stock. As of June 30, 1996,
the company estimates its maximum potential exposure as a result of the
proposed rescission offer in the State of Michigan to be approximately $827,000,
including interest of approximately $38,000. The number of shares subject to
rescission in the State of Michigan is approximately 242,000. As discussed
herein, it is unlikely that the Company would be able to complete a rescission
offer in Michigan without additional financing commitments.
The Company may also be required to offer a right of rescission to
purchasers of its securities in other states where the requirements of
applicable exemptions may not have been met. It is uncertain whether or not the
requirements of other states were not met. If rescissions are required in
other states it is also uncertain whether or not sufficient funds will be
available to complete such rescission offers. Enforcement sanctions relative to
the sale of unregistered, non-exempt securities may also include fines and
restrictions on the Company's ability to sell securities in those states.
Management currently believes that it is likely that a substantial number
of shareholders would reject such rescission offers, in the event such offers
are made, in light the fact that current quotations for the Company's common
stock exceed the purchase price of the stock acquired by those purchasers and
in light of the prospects for its healthcare businesses. The maximum exposure,
if the Company were to offer rescissions in all jurisdictions where it has sold
its stock, is estimated to be in the range of $4-$6 million.
Based on the foregoing factors, it is uncertain whether or not the Company
will be able to meet its short-term or long-term liquidity needs in the absence
of additional financing or a strategic alliance which would provide the funds
required to further commercialize and market NSC's healthcare information
software technology and HMT's product development and marketing effots. A
favorable resolution of the GECCS/News arbitration, however, would provide the
Company with the ability to meet its immediate and short-term liquidity needs.
Such needs include amounts due trade and other creditors of the Company and its
subsidiaries, a substantial portion of which are currently past due. As
discussed above, the Company is currently seeking additional financing from
instituional investors and lenders and from strategic alliance partners in the
healthcare industry but, there is no assurance that such financing will be
obtained and, if obtained, whether or not such financing will be sufficient to
carry-out the objectives of the Company and its subsidiaries and satisfy
existing obligations or obligations arising from rescission offers the Company
may be required to make to previous purchases of its common stock as more fully
described above.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In March 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of," which requires impairment losses to be recognized
when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows
estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying
amount. Statement No. 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets
expected to be disposed of. The Company adopted Statement No. 121 for the year
ending December 31, 1995. The adoption of Statement No. 121 did not have a
material financial statement impact.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
The impact of inflation on the costs of the Company and its business
units, and the ability to pass on cost increases to its customers over time is
dependent upon market conditions. The Company is not aware of any inflationary
pressures that have had any significant impact on the Company's operations over
the past three years and, the Company does not anticipate that inflationary
factors will have a significant impact on future operations.

Williams in connection with the performance of certain conditions set
forth in a 1994 letter agreement. See Note 13 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
(3) Each of Messrs. Salmon and Williams have options to purchase 500,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per
share. Such options were issued in June 1996.
Item 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
The acquisition of ATI and the employment agreements entered into with
Messrs. Armstrong and Woodward were negotiated at arms-length prior to the date
on which Messrs. Armstrong and Woodward became directors of the Company. In
connection with the ATI acquisition, $250,000 aggregate principal amount of
notes payable were issued to Messrs. Armstrong and Woodward and, pursuant to
their terms, were originally due within 90 days of the date of the acquisition.
These notes were extended from time to time and are now due upon completion of
a public offering of the Company's common stock. In consideration for these
extensions, the Company, pursuant to an agreement executed on July 14, 1995,
authorized the issuance to each of Messrs. Armstrong and Woodward 70,000 shares
of Class B preferred stock, with an estimated fair value of $236,000 in the
aggregate, and warrants for the purchase of 83,334 shares of the Company's
Common Stock, with an estimated fair value of $105,000 in the aggregate,
exercisable at $1.50 per share.

The acquisition of NSC was negotiated at arms-length prior to the date on
which Messrs. Tolley, Looney and Paolicelli became employees of the Company.
Employment agreements with these persons were entered into between them and NSC
prior to the acquisition and assumed, with certain modifications, by SCI.
Pursuant to the employment agreements, which expire June 30, 1997, each of
Messrs. Tolley, Looney and Paolicelli are to receive an annual compensation of
$180,000 in the initial base year , commencing July 1, 1995, which is to be
increased by 20% of the base year compensation effective July 31, 1996.
Certain of the directors who are former shareholders of acquired
businesses received notes from the Company that were negotiated at arms-length
at the time of the acquisition and prior to their election as directors. See
Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Salmon,
Alexander and Williams. These agreements provide, among other things, for the
payment of compensation over 5 years from the date of employment, regardless of
whether or not these executive officers remain in the employ of the Company.
The present value of future obligations under these agreements was $1,609,775
at December 31, 1995. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In May 1994, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Mr.
Williams, its current Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to that agreement, the
Company, in 1995, issued 500,000 shares of its Common Stock, valued at $15,000,
and 1,375,000 shares of its Class A Preferred Stock, valued at $20,625 in
connection with the satisfaction of conditions relating to equity and debt
funding arrangements on behalf of the Company.
In June 1995, the Company issued 1,075,000 shares of its Class A Preferred
Stock to Mr. Salmon in consideration for the acquisition of all the outstanding
shares of LCI. Such shares were valued at the cost basis of Mr. Salmon in the
net assets of LCI which was diminimus.
In June 1995, the Company issued 200,000 shares of its common stock, with
an estimated fair value of $126,000, and 500,000 shares of its Class A
preferred stock, with an estimated fair value of $157,500, to Mr. Alexander in
consideration for the acquisition of Comstar.
Item 8. Legal Proceedings.
One of the Company's subsidiaries is claimant in a binding arbitration
proceeding against GE Capital Communications Services ("GECCS") and New
Enterprise Wholesale Services, Ltd. (News") seeking damages of approximately $5
million arising out of a breach of contract for the purchase and resale of
telecommunications services. GECCS and News have asserted a counter claim of
approximately $461,000 for costs allegedly owed to GECCS and News. While the
Company believes it will prevail in this case, it is not possible to predict
its outcome or the amount of recovery, if any. The arbitration proceeding
commenced on April 22, 1996 and was completed on April 25, 1996. The parties
filed briefs in June and July 1996. Based on the latest information available
to the Company, it expects the arbitration panel to render its decision by the
end of September 1996.

<PAGE> 22
The Company was notified in May 1996 by the Michigan Department of
Commerce and Securities Bureau that it has offered and sold its securities in
the State of Michigan without an exemption from registration under the Michigan
Uniform Securities Act. As part of the proposed consent order from the State of
Michigan, the State of Michigan will require the Company to offer Michigan
purchasers of the Company's securities the right to rescind their purchase
transactions. The rescission offer currently encompasses approximately 242,000
shares of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock sold at prices
ranging from $1.50 to $3.50 per share.
It is not possible to determine the number of Michigan shareholders who
may exercise their rights pursuant to a rescission offer, or the number of
shares of common stock purchase transactions that may be rescinded or the
amount, if any, that the Company would be required to pay pursuant to a
rescission offer. If all of the Michigan purchasers exercised their rights
pursuant to a rescission offer, the Company would be required to pay such
purchasers approximately $789,000, plus interest at the statutory rate in
Michigan, to reimburse them for the purchase price of their common stock. In
that event, it is uncertain whether sufficient funds will be available to
complete a rescission offer.
If appropriate, the Company may offer a right of rescission to
purchasers of its securities in other states where the requirements of
applicable exceptions may not have been met. It is uncertain whether or not the
requirements of other states were not met. If rescissions are required in other
states it is also uncertain whether or not sufficient funds will be available
to complete such rescission offers. Enforcement sanctions relative to the sale
of unregistered, non-exempt securities may also include fines and restrictions
on the Company's ability to sell securities in those states.
In May 1996, the Company informed the principals of Coast Communications,
Inc. ("CCI") that the Company was canceling the acquisition of CCI and
terminating all of the related acquisition documents. The principals filed suit
to enforce promissory notes ($300,000) which were issued by the Company. The
notes and associated documentation call for a return of CCI shares in the event
of non-payment.
The Company and its subsidiaries are also parties in various
administrative actions and other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary
course of business, none of which are expected to materially affect the
financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

ITEM 9. MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND
RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS.
The Company's common stock is quoted under the stock symbol "SCMI" on the
NASDAQ Bulletin Board and the over-the-counter market. The following table
sets forth the approximate high and low bid quotations for the Company's Common
Stock for each quarter during the last two years. These bid quotations are
inter-dealer prices without retail markup, mark-down or commission, and may not
represent actual transactions.

The high and low bid quotations price for the Common Stock on June 28,
1996 were $8.50. At the date of this Registration Statement, there is no
market for the Preferred Stock and a market is not expected to develop.
The Company has not paid any dividends on its Common Stock during the
last two fiscal years ended December 31, 1995 and from that date to the date of
this Registration Statement. There are no restrictions on the declaration or
payment of cash dividends or any provisions which restrict cash dividends. The
payment by the Company of dividends in the future rests within the discretion
of the Company's Board of Directors and will depend, among other things, upon
the Company's earnings, its capital requirements and its financial condition,
as well as other relevant factors.
As of June 30, 1996, the Company had 547 beneficial owners of its common
stock.
ITEM 10. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
During the period from January 1, 1993 to June 30, 1996, the Registrant
issued 4,800,000 shares of Class A Preferred Stock, 4,690,000 shares of Class B
Preferred Stock and 7,449,318 shares of Common Stock. These shares were issued
to the former owners of businesses acquired by the Registrant in consideration
for the businesses acquired, to accredited
23
<PAGE> 24
and unaccredited investors in consideration for cash, to persons in
consideration of services rendered and to persons on conversion or extension of
indebtedness.
During the period from January 1, 1993 to June 30, 1996, the Registrant
issued 3,275,000 shares of Class A Preferred Stock, 2,622,937 shares of Common
Stock and 4,550,000 shares of Class B Preferred Stock in connection with the
acquisition of businesses. During that same period, the Registrant issued
2,011,401 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate cash consideration of
$6,040,376 from 298 accredited and 32 unaccredited investors, 2,849,844 shares
of Common Stock and 1,525,000 shares of Class A Preferred Stock in
consideration for services rendered and, in the case of the Registrant's Chief
Executive Officer for services to be rendered over the term of his employment
agreement, 140,000 shares of Class B Preferred Stock in consideration for
extension of related party indebtedness and 207,552 shares of Common Stock on
conversion of convertible debt.
The Company claims reliance on the exemption from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933 provided by section 4(2) thereof.
Item 11. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of fifteen million
shares of Preferred Stock and 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par
value per share. The Board of Directors designated five million shares of
Class A Convertible Preferred Stock and the balance of ten million shares is
Class B Convertible Preferred Stock.
PREFERRED STOCK
The Class A Convertible Preferred Stock has a stated value and liquidation
preference of One Dollar ($1.00) per share and is not entitled either to vote
on any matters submitted to a vote of stockholders or to any preference in the
payment of dividends over the Common Stock. The Class A Convertible Preferred
Stock is (i) convertible, at the election of the holder, prior to filing with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission of a registration statement for the
first public offering of Common Stock made by the Company after the date of
issuance and (ii) is converted automatically upon such filing and, in either
case, each share of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into
one-half share of Common Stock.
The Class B Convertible Preferred Stock has a stated value and liquidation
preference of One Dollar ($1.00) per share and is not entitled either to vote
on any matters submitted to a vote of stockholders or to any preference in the
payment of dividends over the Common Stock. The Class B Convertible Preferred
Stock is (i) convertible, at the election of the holder, prior to filing with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission of a registration statement for the
first public offering of Common Stock made by the Company after the date of
issuance and (ii) is converted automatically upon such filing and, in either
case, each share of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into
such number of shares of Common Stock (including fractions of shares) as is
determined by dividing the par value and stated value of the Preferred Stock by
the
24
<PAGE> 25
average of the closing bid prices of the Common Stock in the over-the-counter
market on the ten days ending on the closing date of the transaction in which
the shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock are issued. The 4,550,000
shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock issued in the acquisition of the
Company's Telcom subsidiary are convertible into 1,654,546 shares of Common
Stock.
Common Stock
As of June 30, 1996, 8,490,338 shares of Common Stock are issued and
outstanding. The shares of the Common Stock (i) have equal and ratable rights
with all shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock to payment of dividends
from funds legally available therefor, when, as and if declared by the Board of
Directors of the Company; (ii) are entitled to share ratably in all of the
assets of the Company available for distribution to holders of Common Stock
upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company;
(iii) do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights; (iv) have no
redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable thereto; and (v) have one vote
for election of each director noncumulative and on other matters submitted to a
vote of stockholders. The issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock are
fully paid and non-assessable.
Transfer Agent
American Securities Transfer and Trust Inc., 1825 Lawrence Street, Suite
444, Denver, Colorado 80201; P.O. Box 15696, Denver, Colorado 80201-1596 serves
an the Company's transfer agent.
Item 12. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Section 607.0850 of the Florida Business Corporation Act and Article
VII of the Company's Bylaws provide for indemnification of directors and
officers for liabilities incurred as a result of serving in those capacities.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the federal securities
laws may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been advised that
in the opinion of Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in such laws and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment of
expenses incurred in the successful defense, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
any such director, officer or controlling person, the Company will, unless in
the opinion of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in such laws and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Board of Directors
Systems Communications, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Systems
Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995, and the related
consolidated statement of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
the year then ended. 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 consolidated financial position of Systems
Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 1995, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that Systems Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries will continue as a going
concern. As more fully described in Note 3, the Company has incurred operating
losses for 1995 and 1994 and has a working capital deficiency. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and
classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that
may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Board of Directors
Systems Communications, Inc.
Clearwater, Florida
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Systems
Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993. 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
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 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 Systems
Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1994
and 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to
the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a loss from
operations for the year ended December 31, 1994 and had a net working capital
deficiency and an accumulated deficit at December 31, 1994. Additionally, the
Company is dependent upon successfully obtaining financing sufficient to pay its
obligations related to its acquisition of Ameristar Telecommunications, Inc. and
Coast Communications, Inc. These factors, among other things, raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's
plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 1 - FORMATION OF THE COMPANY AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Systems Communications, Inc. (the "Company") was organized as Florida One
Capital Corporation in 1987 and in 1988 made an initial public offering of its
common stock as a blank check company for the purpose of acquiring other
companies. During 1990 and 1991, the Company acquired and divested companies
engaged in the eye glass distribution and residential building industries and
for a brief period of time, operating under the name of Highland Healthcare
Corporation, was under the control of another publicly-owned blank check
company formed for the purpose of acquiring health care related businesses.
During the period from the fall of 1991 to the date of the first acquisitions
described below, the Company had no operations or assets and was dormant.
In 1994, the Company changed its name from Highland Healthcare Corporation
to Systems Communications, Inc. and, effective August 29, 1994, acquired all of
the outstanding stock of (i) Ameristar Telecommunications, Inc. ("ATI"), a
reseller of long-distance and pay-per-view services and products, principally
to the hospitality industry, and (ii) Coast Communications, Inc. ("CCI"),
whose principal business is the installation and servicing of pay-per-view
equipment. The acquisitions of ATI and CCI were accounted for as a reverse
merger and reorganization of the Company in a manner similar to a pooling of
interests.
Effective June 1, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of all of
the outstanding stock of LCI Communications, Inc. ("LCI"), a reseller of
telecommunication services, from a person designated as a "promoter/
shareholder" of the Company. The net assets acquired were recorded at the
promoter/shareholder's historical cost basis.
Effective June 12, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock
of Comstar Network Services, Inc. ("Comstar"), a reseller of long-distance
telephone services.
Effective July 7, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock
of Telcom Network, Inc. ("TNI"), a reseller of telecommunications services and
products, principally to residential and small business customers. TNI also
audits utility and telecommunications payments and provides cost recovery
services to its customers (large and small businesses and governmental
entities) for a percentage of recovered savings.
Effective October 27, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
stock of National Solutions, Inc. ("NSC"). The principal business of NSC is to
(i) enhance, for commercial use, healthcare management information and
decision software technology acquired from the U.S. Government pursuant to the
Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986, as amended, and (ii) sell the
benefits from the use of such technology to large, self-insured companies and
other healthcare plan administrators. To date, the Company's revenues have
been derived primarily from retroactive analysis of claims paid, with respect
to which the Company has received a percentage of the recovered savings.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
EQUIPMENT INVENTORIES
Equipment (pay-per-view) inventories, net of an allowance for
obsolescence, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by
the specific identification method.
FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT
Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using
the straight-line method over periods that approximate the assets' useful
lives.
Capitalized lease assets are recorded at the lower of present value of
minimum future lease payments at inception of the lease or the fair value of
the asset and are amortized straight-line over the shorter of the lease term or
estimated useful life of the asset.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets consist of the cost of acquired healthcare management
decision software technology and the cost of acquired customer lists. The cost
of acquired healthcare management decision software technology ($12,400,000) is
being amortized over the estimated useful life of such technology (20 years).
The cost of acquired customer lists ($150,000) is being amortized over the
estimated useful lives of the customer relationships acquired (approximately
six months).
EXCESS OF COST OVER FAIR VALUE OF NET ASSETS ACQUIRED
Excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired (goodwill) is
being amortized over periods ranging from 5 to 20 years.
36
<PAGE> 37
SYSTEMS COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The Company assesses the recoverability of intangible assets, including
goodwill, if facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of such
intangible assets may have been impaired. If such an assessment indicates that
the carrying value of intangible assets may not be recoverable (as determined
by the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining amortization period), the
carrying value of intangible assets is reduced.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company generally recognizes revenue in the period in which the
service is provided. Revenues related to audit or retroactive claims review
services, which are based on a percentage of the savings, are recognized at the
time of third party approval of the reimbursable amounts. At December 31, 1995,
one of the Company's customers had advanced the Company $856,719 of funds in
excess of those approved for reimbursement at that date. This amount has been
reflected as deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
INCOME TAXES
The Company has applied the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires an
asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes for all years
presented.
INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the
average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Shares
issuable upon conversion of the Company's convertible preferred stock, from
exercise of outstanding stock purchase warrants and subject to rescission were
not included in the calculation of earnings (loss) per share because their
inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
The operating, investing and financing activities included in the
consolidated statements of cash flows are presented net of the assets and
liabilities acquired in connection with business combinations.
LONG LIVED ASSETS
In March 1995, the FASB issued Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,"
which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in
operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash
flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets'
carrying amount. Statement No. 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived
assets that are expected to be disposed of. The Company adopted Statement No.
121 for the year ending December 31, 1995. The adoption of Statement No. 121
did not have a material financial statement impact.
37
<PAGE> 38
SYSTEMS COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
USE OF ESTIMATES
The process of preparing financial statements requires the use of
estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled
transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements.
Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in the 1994 and 1993 consolidated financial statements
have been reclassified to conform to the 1995 presentation.
INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
The unaudited consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 1996 and the
unaudited consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information. 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 and recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation,
have been included. Results of operations for the three months ended March 31,
1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
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. The Company incurred losses of
$5,808,025 and $129,002 in 1995 and 1994, respectively, and used approximately
$1,761,000 of cash in operations in 1995. The Company has a net working capital
deficiency of $1,260,996 at December 31, 1995, including $1,579,395 of related
party notes and debentures. Additionally, as discussed in Note 14, the Company
is obligated to provide or arrange for $2,700,000 of working capital and
equipment financing for acquired companies (none of which financing has
currently been arranged) and may be required to offer purchasers of the
Company's common stock in certain jurisdictions the right to rescind their
stock purchase transactions. The Company is required to make a stock purchase
rescission offer to purchasers of its common stock in Michigan. The Company
has estimated its exposure to be approximately $789,000 which is included in
"Common Stock subject to rescission" in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet. It is unclear if the Company will be required to make similar stock
purchase rescission offers in other states. (See Note 14)
The Company is encouraged by the prospects of its healthcare management
subsidiaries and believes they will make the Company profitable in the future
if the Company can invest sufficient funds in them. These funds are required
to fully implement marketing plans, operational and new product development
plans, and to provide working capital until such time as the Company generates
adequate cash flows from operations.
The Company is in discussions with various institutional investors and
lenders and potential stragetic alliance partners. These discussions may result
in financing commitments but, there is no assurance that such commitments will
materialize. The Company is also waiting on a decision regarding the GECCS/News
arbitration proceeding (See Note 14) which, if favorable, would provide the
Company with liquidity for the short-term. The Company also contemplates a
public offering of its common stock subsequent to completion of any
rescission offers that may be appropriate.
Based on the foregoing factors it is uncertain whether or not the Company
can generate adequate cash flows from operations, or from financing
transactions to meet its obligations as they become due. In that event, the
Company would be required to divest assets or businesses or seek other
alternatives to maintain its operations.

NOTE 4 - ACQUISITIONS
On August 29, 1994, the Company acquired, in two separate transactions,
all of the outstanding stock of ATI and CCI in exchange for an aggregate of
1,700,000 shares of the Company's Class A convertible preferred stock and an
aggregate of $550,000 principal amount of notes payable. Each share of
preferred stock issued in connection with these acquisitions is convertible
into one-half share of the Company's common stock at the election of the holder
at any time prior to a public offering of the Company's common stock and are
automatically converted at the time of such public offering. The $550,000 of
acquisition notes payable bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum and were
originally due within 90 days of the date of such acquisitions. Such notes have
been extended from time to time and are now due upon completion of a public
offering of the Company's common stock. These transactions were accounted for
as a reverse merger and reorganization of the Company in a manner similar to a
pooling of interests. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the results of operations of these companies for all periods
presented.
In June 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the
outstanding stock of LCI from a person designated as a promoter/shareholder of
the Company in exchange for 1,075,000 shares of the Company's Class A preferred
stock. The net assets acquired were recorded at the promoter/shareholder's
historical cost. The cost basis of the promoter/shareholder was diminimus.
In June 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Comstar in exchange for 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock, valued at
$126,000, and 500,000 shares of its Class A convertible preferred stock, valued
at $157,500. The total purchase price was $283,500. Each share of preferred
stock issued in connection with this acquisition is convertible into one-half
share of the Company's common stock at the election of the holder at any time
prior to a public offering of the Company's common stock and are automatically
converted at the time of such public offering. The excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of net assets acquired ($273,250) was allocated to
goodwill and is being amortized over 5 years.
In July 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of TNI in
exchange for 4,550,000 shares of the Company's Class B convertible preferred
stock, valued at $2,492,000, $450,000 of 10% convertible debentures and $50,000
in cash. Holders of the convertible debentures are also entitled to receive an
aggregate of 225,000 stock purchase warrants, valued and recorded at $141,750,
exercisible at any time prior to a public offering of the Company's common
stock for an exercise price of $1.50 per share. Each share of preferred stock
issued in

SYSTEMS COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
connection with this acquisition is convertible into .36 shares of the
Company's common stock at the election of the holder at any time prior to a
public offering of the Company's common stock and are automatically converted
at the time of such public offering. The 10% convertible debentures, plus
accrued interest, are due at the time of a public offering of the Company's
common stock and are convertible, at the election of the holder, into the
Company's common stock at the public offering price in such public offering.
The total purchase price for TNI was $3,138,450. The excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was $2,758,779. This
amount was written off, with no associated tax benefit, as more fully described
in Note 5.
In October 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of NSC
in exchange for 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock valued at
$6,916,000, cash of $1,000,000 and $250,000 in notes payable. The purchase
price also included shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $2,000,000,
to be issued to the former shareholders of NSC no later than November 30, 1996.
The number of additional shares to be issued is to be determined at the date of
issuance based upon a formula. The formula is $5,000,000 minus outstanding
advances made to NSC by the Company ($520,000 at December 31, 1995) divided by
the quoted market value of the Company's common stock ($16.25 per share at
December 31, 1995). The $250,000 in notes payable are non-interest bearing and
are due in equal monthly installments of $20,000. The excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of the net assets acquired ($2,891,063) is being
amortized over 20 years. The net assets acquired include $12,400,000 for
healthcare management decision software technology that is being amortized over
20 years.
The acquisitions of Comstar, LCI, TNI, and NSC have been accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting. The results of operations of these
acquired businesses have been included in the consolidated financial statements
since their respective dates of acquisition.
The following unaudited pro forma summary presents the results of
operations, with pro forma adjustments (primarily intangible amortization) as
if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the indicated periods. The
pro forma information is provided for information purposes only. It is based on
historical information and does not necessarily reflect the actual results that
would have occurred nor is it necessarily indicative of future results of
operations of the combined companies.

NOTE 5 - GOODWILL WRITE-DOWN
At December 31, 1995, the Company recognized a charge to income of
$2,758,779 to write off, with no associated income tax benefit, all of the
goodwill related to its acquisition of TNI. This write-off reflects the
Company's belief that the business of TNI has been severely damaged as a result
of actions taken by GE Capital Communications Service ("GECCS") and News
Enterprise Wholesale Services, Ltd. ("News"), which actions included, among
other things, (i) the failure of GECCS/News to provision customer accounts for
telecommunications products and services offered by GECCS/News and sold by TNI
pursuant to a contractual
40

SYSTEMS COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
agreement among TNI, GECCS and News, (ii) the cancellation of TNI customers by
GECCS/News and (iii) the failure of GECCS/News to properly bill and collect
revenues due to TNI.
As further discussed in Note 14, the Company is the claimant in a binding
arbitration proceeding against GECCS/News seeking damages of approximately $5
million arising from such actions. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements do not give effect to amounts, if any, that may be realized by the
Company from such proceedings. Amounts realized, if any, will be recognized in
income when determinable.

The Company's 10% convertible debentures and 6% acquisition notes are
payable at the time of a public offering of the Company's common stock. The 10%
convertible debentures are convertible, at the election of the holder, into
shares of the Company's common stock at the public offering price in a public
offering. These debentures and notes are classified as current liabilities in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements in contemplation of a public
offering of the Company's common stock.
The 6% acquisition notes payable to the former shareholders of TNI were
originally due within 90 days of the date of acquisition of TNI. These notes
were extended from time to time and are now due at the time of a public
offering of the Company's common stock. In consideration of those extensions,
the Company issued 140,000 shares of its Class B preferred stock and 166,668
stock purchase warrants exercisable at $1.50 per share.
The notes payable and debentures associated with the acquisitions of

NOTE 9 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS DISCLOSURE
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 - Disclosures about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments requires disclosure of the estimated fair
value of financial instruments. It is not practicable to estimate the fair
value of the Company's debt instruments because most of the debt instruments
are unique due to their terms being negotiated as a part of the acquisition of
companies and comparable instruments do not exist. The carrying amount of the
Company's other financial instruments, cash and cash equivalents and accounts
receivable, are a reasonable estimate of their fair value.

Most of the Company's accounts receivable are for long-distance telephone
services provided by TNI. Approximately 50% of TNI's customers are located in
the State of Florida.
NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES
The income tax benefit recorded in 1995 consists of deferred income taxes.
No provisions for taxes currently payable were made in 1995, 1994 or 1993 due
to operating losses in each of those years for income tax purposes.
Income tax expense (benefit) differs from the amounts computed by applying
the U.S. federal income tax rate of 34 percent to income (loss) before income
taxes as a result of the following:

At December 31, 1994, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of
$49,021 which was equal to the net deferred tax assets of the Company as of
that date. In the first ten months of 1995, the Company recorded additional net
deferred tax assets of approximately $930,000 (attributable primarily to net
operating losses) with an addition to the valuation allowance in the same
amount. As part of the acquisition of NSC, the Company recorded approximately
$3.8 million of deferred tax liabilities. Because the deferred tax liabilities
after the NSC acquisition exceeded the previously recorded gross deferred tax
assets, the Company reversed the valuation allowance (approximately $980,000 as
of October 31, 1995). Because this occurred as part of a business combination
rather than through operations, the adjustment is recorded as a reduction in
goodwill associated with the NSC acquisition rather than as an adjustment to
operations.

At December 31, 1995, the consolidated group of companies had unused net
operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3.5 million, expiring on various
dates through 2010. Of this amount approximately $2.3 million is not restricted
as to use. The balance of the carryforwards amounting to approximately $1.2
million is restricted to offsetting future taxable income, if any, of the
respective companies which generated the carryforwards and may be further
limited as to utilization in any one year by existing tax laws.
Prior to their acquisition in August 1994, ATI and CCI were taxed under
Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and consequently, were not subject to
Federal income tax.

STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS
The Company has issued common stock purchase warrants in conjunction with
the sale and issuance of common stock, preferred stock and convertible
debentures. The exercise prices of warrants issued (and to be issued in
connection with the acquisition of TNI (See Note 4) were determined at
arms-length in connection with the issuance of the Company's other securities.
Such warrants are generally exercisible at any time within two years from the

NOTE 13 - EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company has employment agreements with certain key employees which
provide for, among other things, the payment of compensation over 5 years from
the date of employment regardless of whether or not the employee remains in the
employ of the Company. The present value of future obligations under such
agreements was $1,609,775 at December 31, 1995. The Company has also recorded a
similar amount of deferred compensation related to these agreements. The
deferred compensation has been reported on the basis that the related
employee(s) continue to provide meaningful service to the Company. In the event
the employee(s) cease to provide such service, deferred compensation would be
reduced accordingly. Following is a summary of amounts included in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets for such agreements as of December 31,

issuance were issued. The Company recorded deferred compensation of $35,625 in
1995, which is being amortized over the life of the related employment
agreement, for the value of the stock issued.
NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In connection with certain of its business acquisitions, the Company is
obligated, over the next two years, to provide or arrange for working capital
and equipment financing transactions to provide funds totaling approximately
$2.7 million for the use of acquired companies. While the Company believes it
will be able to arrange such financing in one or more debt or equity financing
transactions or from cash provided by operations, there is no assurance that it
will be able to do so, in which case the acquired companies could seek to
enforce such financing commitments. In that event it is uncertain whether or
not the Company would be able to fulfill such financing commitments in which
case the Company would be required to seek other available alternatives.
One of the Company's subsidiaries is the claimant in a binding arbitration
proceeding against GE Capital Communications Services ("GECCS") and New
Enterprise Wholesale Services, Ltd. ("News") seeking damages of approximately
$5 million arising out of a breach of contract for the purchase and resale of
telecommunications services. GECCS and News have asserted a counter claim of
approximately $461,000 for costs allegedly owed to GECCS and News. While the
Company believes it will prevail in this case, it is not possible to predict
its outcome or the amount of recovery, if any. The arbitration proceeding
commenced on April 22, 1996 and was completed on April 25, 1996. The parties
are to file briefs in June and July 1996 and a decision is anticipated by the
end of September 1996.
The Company was notified in May 1996 by the Michigan Department of
Commerce and Securities Bureau that it has offered and sold its securities in
the State of Michigan without an exemption from registration under the Michigan
Uniform Securities Act. As part of the proposed consent order from the State of
Michigan, the State of Michigan will require the Company to offer Michigan
purchasers of the Company's securities the right to rescind their purchase
transactions. The rescission offer currently encompasses approximately 242,000
shares of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock sold at prices
ranging from $1.50 to $3.50 per share (approximately $789,000, in the
aggregate). In addition, the Company has issued approximately 500,000 common
stock purchase warrants to certain of the Michigan purchasers. Such warrants
are exercisable at prices ranging from $1.50 to $3.50 per share.
It is not possible to determine the number of Michigan shareholders who
may exercise their rights pursuant to a rescission offer, or the number of
shares of common stock purchase transactions that may be rescinded or the
amount, if any, that the Company would be required to pay pursuant to a
rescission offer; and, it is uncertain whether or not sufficient funds will be
available to complete a rescission offer. The rescission offer will also
require the
48
<PAGE> 49
SYSTEMS COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
payment of interest from the date of the shareholders' investment to the date
of rescission at the statutory rate in Michigan for those shareholders who
accept the rescission offer. The shares subject to rescission offer in the
State of Michigan are classified in the accompanying balance sheets as "Common
Stock Subject to Rescission."
If required under applicable statutes, the Company may be required to
offer a right of rescission to purchasers of its securities in states other
than Michigan, where the requirements of applicable exemptions may not have
been met. It is uncertain whether or not the requirements of any other
states were not met. If rescissions are required in other states it is also
uncertain whether or not sufficient funds will be available to complete such
rescission offers. The maximum exposure, if the Company were to offer
rescissions in all jurisdictions where the Company has sold its common stock,
is $4-6 million. Enforcement sanctions relative to the sale of unregistered,
non-exempt securities may also include fines and restrictions on the Company's
ability to sell securities in states where the Company is required to offer the
right of rescission.
The Company and its subsidiaries are also parties in various actions and
legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which are
expected to materially affect the financial position, results of operations or
cash flows of the Company.
NOTE 15 - SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company's operations are classified into two industry segments:

In May 1996, the Company gave notice to the principals of CCI of its
intent to abandon its investment in CCI. Pursuant to the terms of the
acquisition and related pledge agreements, the effect of such abandonment is
that the former shareholders of CCI will receive the shares of stock in CCI
acquired in 1994 by the Company in return for the shares of preferred stock
issued by the Company to the former shareholders of CCI in connection with the
acquisition (see Note 4). Also, in May 1996 the former shareholders of CCI filed
suit against the Company for payment of the $300,000 notes payable issued as
part of the acquisition agreement and the issuance of an additional 200,000
shares of Class A preferred stock they allege are due. The operations of CCI
are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements through May
1996. The assets and liabilities of CCI were removed from the Company's balance
sheet in May 1996 with no material effect on operations. For the year ended
December 31, 1995, CCI reported approximately $158,000 in revenues and a net
loss of approximately $247,000. At December 31, 1995, CCI had net assets of
approximately $245,000. The Company plans to vigorously defend the claims
brought against it by the former CCI shareholders and does not believe the
outcome will have a material adverse affect on the Company's financial position,
operations or cash flow.
NOTE 18 - Valuation and Qualifying Accounts
Valuation and qualifying accounts (which are deducted from the assets to
which they apply) consist of an allowance for doubtful accounts ($510,000 at
December 31, 1995) and a reserve for obsolete equipment inventories, the

NATIONAL SOLUTIONS CORPORATION
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Merger
National Solutions Corporation (Company) was incorporated in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania on May 19, 1993. The Company provides health care payment analysis
services to customers for the purpose of determining the appropriateness of such
payments. It also advises customers as to ways in which they can improve their
health care benefits administration.
Development Stage Enterprise
The Company is considered to be a development stage enterprise because it has
not yet commenced full operations, and its operations through December 31, 1994,
have generated an insignificant amount of revenue. As subsequently discussed, a
substantial portion of the Company's billings to its initial customer are
subject to the ability of a third party to recover certain amounts disbursed by
the third party on behalf of the initial customer. Therefore, such billings are
not included in the accompanying financial statements.
Financial Statements
The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's
management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. The
accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have
been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Advance Billings and Deferrals
As the Company certifies to a customer instances of health care overpayments,
invoices are submitted to the customer indicating the Company's fee. Such
invoices are considered advance billings because the fee is not payable by the
customer until the customer's plan administrator concurs with the Company's
certification and recovers the previously expended amounts. From time to time a
customer may advance money to the Company based on the advance billings;
however, such advances are refundable to the customer should plan administrator
concurrence be withheld or recovery not be possible.
Since the Company's initial customer must negotiate with its plan administrator
regarding recovery of overpayments, all advance billings through December 31,
1994, are not included in the accompanying financial statements.
Presently, the Company utilizes the services of a sub-contractor to process
customer data files. From time to time the Company may advance money to this
sub-contractor. Such Company advances are based on advances received by the
Company from its customer.
Furniture and Equipment
Furniture and equipment, including asset rights under capital leases, are
recorded at cost, and depreciation is provided using the straight line method
over estimated useful lives, ranging from three to ten years.

NATIONAL SOLUTIONS CORPORATION
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Income Taxes
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." Under the asset and liability method of SFAS
109, 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
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS 109, 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.
Note 2 - Advance Billings and Advances
Through December 31, 1994, the Company has issued total billings of $2,272,316
to its initial customer. Of this amount, $340,831 has been recognized as
revenue in the accompany statement of operations. The balance of $1,931,485 is
considered an advance billing and is not reflected in the accompanying financial
statements. At December 31, 1994 and 1993 the Company's initial customer had
advanced $1,249,789 and $91,200, respectively, to the Company. Correspondingly,
the Company advanced $624,895 to the sub-contractor processing certain customer
computer files on behalf of the Company at December 31, 1994. No advances were
made to the sub-contractor at December 31, 1993.
Note 3 - Furniture and Equipment
Furniture and equipment consisted of the following at December 31, 1994:

Rent of $4,204 is included in office expense in the accompanying 1994 statement
of operations.
Note 5 - Income Taxes
At December 31, 1994 the Company has a net operating loss carryforward of
approximately $550,000 which expires during the years 2008 and 2009. The 1994
and 1993 tax benefits relating to losses incurred in each year (assuming a 34%
tax rate) amounted to approximately $156,000 and $30,000, respectively.
However, based on the Company's designation as a development stage enterprise,
there is no basis to conclude that such tax benefits will be realized.
Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been provided for all such tax benefits.
Note 6 - Related Party Transactions
Certain shareholders have provided various consulting services to the Company.
Payments for such services approximated $229,000 and $78,000 in 1994 and 1993,
respectively and are included in professional services in the accompanying
statements of operations. Commencing July 1, 1994 the same shareholders became
employees of the Company and have earned compensation of $225,000 through
December 31, 1994, which is included in wages, related taxes and benefits in the
accompanying statement of operations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
July 14, 1995
To the Board of Directors
Telcom Network, Inc.
Orlando, Florida:
I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Telcom Network, Inc. as of
December 31, 1994 and the related statements of income, stockholders' equity and
cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted the audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that I 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.
I believe that my audit provides reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above presents fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Telcom Network, Inc., as of
December 31, 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 3. INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes consists of deferred taxes of $338. Deferred tax

book basis exceeding their tax basis by the cumulative amount of accelerated
depreciation deductions for tax purposes.

tax law, certain changes in ownership of the Company may operate to restrict
future utilization of any net operating loss carryforwards. The extent and
timing of the restrictions are not currently determinable. No provision for
federal income taxes has been included in the accompanying financial statements
with respect to the net operating loss carryforward.
NOTE 4. LEASING ARRANGEMENT
The Company conducts its operations in Orlando under a 2-year operating lease
agreement which expires in September 1996.

NOTE 5. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On July 7, 1995, the Company completed the sale of the Company's stock to a
company (the purchaser) which invests and purchases various business which its
management believes has a potential for profit and growth for $50,000 and a
number of shares of the purchaser's class B restricted preferred stock which is
dependent upon future performance. In addition, the purchaser agreed to
provide working capital during 1995.
NOTE 6. REDEEMABLE, CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
The Company has authorized 250,000 shares of redeemable, convertible preferred
stock with a par value of $2.00 per share. At December 31, 1994, 163,750
shares were outstanding with annual redemption requirements of 50% of the
Company's net income commencing July 1, 1995, until 100% of the redemption has
occurred.
Upon redemption, each unit holder will be issued a convertible debenture of the
purchaser with repayment scheduled quarterly over a period of 24 months, with
the first payment occurring 90 days from the purchasing company's acquisition
of the Company. The preferred stock holders will have the option of taking the
quarterly return of capital payments plus interest or leaving them in the
purchasing company with the principal and interest being converted to the
purchaser's common stock in its planned secondary offering, which is estimated
to be in the first quarter of 1996.
Should the preferred stockholder elect to cash out at the time of the secondary
offering, he will receive a purchase warrant for 2,500 shares of the purchasing
company's common stock at $1.50 per share for each share of the Company's
preferred stock. If the debenture is converted to common stock, in lieu of
cashing out, each preferred stockholder will receive in return for their
initial investment of $25,000, that value in the purchasing company's common
stock after the secondary offering. Additionally, each preferred stockholder
who converts to the purchasing company's common stock will receive for each
preferred stock certificate held 12,500 purchase warrants for the purchasing
company's common stock at $1.50 per share.
Additionally, preferred stockholders who convert to the purchasing company's
common stock will receive an additional option to purchase one-half percent of
two officers employment agreement-based incentive Class B redeemable convertible
stock distribution of the purchasing company for each preferred stock
certificate held of the Company at the conversion price of $2.75 per common
share.

NOTE 7. CONTINGENT CLAIMS AGAINST SUPPLIER
The Company is currently evaluating possible claims it has against a supplier
for breach of contract. The Company is contending the supplier breached their
contract by failing to provision accounts for as long as six months, failing to
bill on accounts that have been posted, failing to provide the Company with
monthly billing statements on accounts and various other issues. This matter
is in the preliminary stages and must be submitted to binding arbitration. The
company has not engaged legal counsel regarding this possible claim. Because
this matter is in the very preliminary stages, it is impossible to predict the
probable outcome of these claims.

ITEM 14. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
Management concluded that it should engage a Big Six accounting firm to
audit the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1995.
On January 9, 1996, senior management approved the engagement of Ernst & Young
LLP as the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1995 to replace Lovelace, Roby & Company, P.A. and Lovelace, Roby & Company,
P.A. was dismissed as the Company's auditors. The decision to change
accountants was a senior management decision and was not recommended or
approved by the Board of Directors.
The reports of Lovelace, Roby & Company, P.A. on the Company's financial
statements for the past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or
a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to audit scope or
accounting principles. The reports of Lovelace, Roby & Company, P.A. included
an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.
In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for
each of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 1994, and in the subsequent
interim period, there were no disagreements with Lovelace, Roby & Company,
P.A. on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures which, if not resolved to the
satisfaction of Lovelace, Roby & Company, P.A., would have caused Lovelace, Roby
& Company, P.A. to make reference to the matter in their report.
The Company has requested Lovelace, Roby & Company, P.A. to furnish it a
letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above
statements. A copy of that letter, dated July 20, 1996 is filed as Exhibit 16 to
this Form 10.
