FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.    Financial Statements.

Immediately following the signature page in this Form 10-QSB.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included herein should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of Yak Communications (USA), Inc. and Subsidiaries, and the related notes to the Financial Statements included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, and the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB. Our Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. and have been audited by our independent auditors.

The financial information in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” refers to our continuing operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have several significant account policies all of which are disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. Our critical accounting policies are as follows:

• determining functional currency for the purpose of consolidation; and

• valuation of property and equipment.

Determining Functional Currency for the Purpose of Consolidation

We have a foreign subsidiary in Canada that accounts for 96% of our revenue and 93% of our assets as of December 31, 2002. In preparing our consolidated financial statements we translate the accounting records from Canadian dollars into United States dollars. This process results in exchange gains and losses, which under the provisions of SFAS No. 52, are included as a separate part of our net equity under the caption “accumulated other comprehensive income.” Under these provisions the treatment of these translation gains or losses is dependant upon our management’s determination of the functional currency of our subsidiary. The functional currency is determined based on management’s judgment of the currency that its subsidiary conducts substantially all of its transactions, including billings, financing and other expenditures, which also includes the dependency upon the parent and the nature of the subsidiary’s operations.

1

Valuation of Property and Equipment

We assess the impairment of our property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. The factors we consider include changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets, significant negative industry or economic trends and significant changes in technology. When we determine that the carrying value of property and equipment may not be recoverable we measure any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by our management. Net property and equipment totaled $3 million as of December 31, 2002.

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001

Results of Operations

Net revenue increased $3,458,287 or 59% to $9,297,089 for the three months ended December 31, 2002 from $5,858,802 for the three months ended December 31, 2001. This increase in revenue is from the addition of new customers in existing and new markets resulting from our marketing efforts and consumer acceptance of our products, along with expansion into six new cities in Canada and ten cities in the United States from 2001. Sales in markets existing from last year increased by $2,734,000 or 48% and sales in new markets accounted for $724,287 of our revenue increase ($412,074 of which arose from our operations in the United States). In December 2002, we launched our “loonie call” product which added $70,913 in new revenue. For the three months ended December 31, 2002, 96% of revenue was earned in Canada and the remaining 4% in the United States.

Cost of revenue increased $1,040,063 or 24% to $5,433,374 for the three months ended December 31, 2002 from $4,393,311 for the three months ended December 31, 2001. This increase is in proportion to the increased telephone traffic volume associated with the growth in our revenues. Cost of revenue is comprised primarily of the cost of long-distance services, fees for the processing and transporting of our calls, and fixed line access and variable line usage costs. The overall cost of revenue decreased to 58% of sales for the three months ended December 31, 2002, from 75% of sales for the three months ended December 31, 2001. The majority of the cost of revenue is variable, based upon the cost of the long-distance services, processing fees and line usage costs. As our telephone traffic volume increased, our “purchasing power” improved significantly; this has allowed us to lower our long-distance costs. Furthermore, as our telephone volume increases many costs such as line access costs will remain fixed, which allows us to improve our margins.

The costs of long-distance services decreased to 33% for the three months ended December 31, 2002 from 44% for the three months ended December 31, 2001. This is due to our greater purchasing power resulting from our higher volumes of traffic.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased $937,123 or 92% to $1,946,959 for the three months ended December 31, 2002 from $1,009,836 for the three months ended December 31, 2001. The increase is primarily due to additional spending for marketing and

2

advertising in order to attract new customers and increase our revenue base. Of this increase, advertising and promotion was the largest component of $1,046,334 for the three months ended December 31, 2002 from $385,047 for the three months ended December 31, 2001. We spent $389,000 in advertising and marketing costs to develop our operations in the United States. The next largest component of SG&A was salaries, which increased to $473,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2002 from $258,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001. The increase in salaries resulted from the hiring additional administrative, technical and customer service employees, which were required to support our growth in sales. These selling, general and administrative expenses, other than marketing, are expected to rise at a lower rate than that of our projected revenue increases.

Organizational and start-up costs for the development of our subsidiary, Yak Communications (America), Inc., were $58,065 for the three months ended December 31, 2002 from $22,478 for the three months ended December 31, 2001. These costs were composed primarily of legal and consulting fees incurred to obtain the regulatory licenses and contracts required to commence U.S. operations. We spent $81,674 to develop international operations in Peru for the three months ended December 31, 2002.

Accounts receivable financing costs related to the factoring of our trade accounts receivable have decreased $28,229 or 20% to $112,380 for the three months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $140,609 for the three months ended December 31, 2001. This change is a direct result of the reduced cost of accounts receivable being factored which resulted from a renegotiation of our factoring arrangement in February 2002.

Depreciation and amortization increased $121,114 or 104% to $236,981 for the three months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $115,867 for the three months ended December 31, 2001. This increase is a result of total, to-date capital spending of our Company of $497,000 for the last six months and accelerated depreciation of $100,000 for equipment no longer in use.

Net income increased by $695,509 to $737,362 for the three months ended December 31, 2002, from $41,853 for the three months ended December 31, 2001. This increase is after an income tax provision of $778,556 for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2001, due to the application of prior period’s income tax losses carried forward.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity requirements are for operating activities, purchases of capital assets and interest and principal payments on outstanding indebtedness. To date, we have financed our growth through the private placement of equity securities, borrowings, accounts receivable financing, vendor financing and capital lease financing.

Net cash provided from operating activities was $1,069,774 for the three months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $393,207 for the three

3

months ended December 31, 2001. This was primarily due to an increase of our net income from operating activities (before non-cash items) of $776,520 to $1,014,240 for the three months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to a net income from operating activities (before non-cash items) of $237,720 for the three months ended December 31, 2001

Net cash used in investing activities was $354,069 for the three months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $199,697 for the three months ended December 31, 2001. These investing activities comprise the cash component of the additions to our property and equipment required to maintain our systems and expand our operations and a $100,000 initial investment in our joint venture operations in Peru.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $487,498 for the three months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $277,638 for the three months ended December 31, 2001. This increase is primarily due to advances arising from our marketing agreement with Telus Communications, Inc.

COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001

Results of Operations

Net revenue increased $6,360,216 or 57% to $17,476,194 for the six months ended December 31, 2002 from $11,115,978 for the six months ended December 31, 2001. This increase in revenue is from the addition of new customers in existing and new markets resulting from our marketing efforts and consumer acceptance of our products, along with expansion into six new cities in Canada and ten cities in the United States from 2001. Sales in markets existing from last year increased by $5,262,414 or 48% and sales in new markets accounted for $1,097,802 of our revenue increase ($715,053 of which arose from our operations in the United States). In December 2002, we launched our “loonie call” product which has added $70,913 in new revenue. For the six months ended December 31, 2002, 96% of revenue was earned in Canada and the remaining 4% in the United States.

Cost of revenue increased $2,334,521 or 27% to $10,832,871 for the six months ended December 31, 2002 from $8,498,350 for the six months ended December 31, 2001. This increase is in proportion to the increased telephone traffic volume associated with the growth in our revenues. Cost of revenue is comprised primarily of the cost of long-distance services, fees for the processing and transporting of our calls, and fixed line access costs and variable line usage costs. The overall cost of revenue decreased to 62 % of sales for the six months ended December 31, 2002, from 76% of sales for the six months ended December 31, 2001. The majority of the cost of revenue is variable, based upon the cost of the long-distance services, processing fees and line usage costs.

The increase is primarily due to additional spending for marketing and advertising in order to attract new customers and increase our revenue base. Of the increase, advertising and promotion was the largest component of $2,035,746 for the six months ended December 31, 2002 from $700,864 for the six months ended December 31, 2001. For the six months ended December 31, 2002, we spent $871,800 in advertising and marketing costs to develop our operations in the United States, as compared to $8,222 for the comparable period in 2001. The next largest component of SG&A was salaries, which increased to $754,128 for the six months ended December 31, 2002 from $560,834 for the six months ended December 31, 2001.

These costs were composed primarily of legal and consulting fees incurred to obtain the regulatory licenses and contracts required to commence U.S. operations. We spent $156,674 to develop international operations in Peru for the six months ended December 31, 2002.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity requirements are for operating activities, purchases of capital assets and interest and principal payments on outstanding indebtedness. To date, we have financed our growth through the private placement of equity securities, borrowings, accounts receivable financing, vendor financing and capital lease financing.

Net cash provided from operating activities was $1,109,765 for the six months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $258,021 for the six months ended December 31, 2001. This was due to an increase of our net income from operating activities (before non-cash items) of $1,812,468 for the six months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to a net income from operating activities (before non-cash items) of $516,473 for the six months ended December 31, 2001.

Net cash used in investing activities was $591,360 for the six months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $229,707 for the six months ended December 31, 2001. These investing activities comprise the cash component of the additions to our property and equipment required to maintain our systems and expand our operations and a $100,000 initial investment in our joint venture operation in Peru.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $927,591 for the six months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $229,707 for the six months ended December 31, 2001. This increase is primarily due to advances arising from our marketing agreement with Telus Communications, Inc.

We do not have any plans for any further significant acquisitions of property and equipment during the current fiscal year. We believe we have sufficient fixed capacity to accommodate our anticipated volume of telephony traffic in both Canada and the United States during fiscal 2003. We expect that the only capital additions expected to be made during fiscal year 2003 will be those required to maintain our existing telephone capacity, which are not expected to be greater than the capital additions made during fiscal year 2002.

We believe that our current operations will be able to generate sufficient cash to meet our current obligations and maintain our current level of operations. We anticipate that additional working capital that will be required will be funded by increasing our available borrowings under our accounts receivable factoring arrangements. We have $6 million available under our current accounts receivable factoring agreement of which approximately $2,776,197 is currently outstanding. In addition, we may seek to obtain additional funds from public or private equity or debt offerings; however, we have no plans to do so at this time. We do not intend to significantly increase our marketing efforts in the United States until we are able to determine the potential for success of our business in the United States.

In addition to the financing sources described above, our arrangement with Telus Communications, Inc. may provide a further $1.2 million of funds for specific use in marketing and

6

advertising our planned expansion. These amounts are reflected as deferrals of amounts otherwise due to Telus Communications, Inc.

Seasonality

The results of any interim period is not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected during a full fiscal year.

Trends

Over the past year, several major telecommunication companies have had to reconsolidate or reorganize pursuant to various bankruptcy proceedings partly due to excess capacity. This excess capacity has resulted in decreasing prices for long-distance and other telecommunications services. Once the consolidation of capacity providers in the telecommunications industry stabilizes we anticipate that prices in the industry will become more constant.

In order to increase sales in our existing markets, we plan to develop new services to compliment our dial-around program. In addition, we are evaluating international opportunities for our services in markets outside of North America.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

From time to time, we make statements about our future results in this Form 10-QSB that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on our current expectations and the current economic environment. Such statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual future results and developments to differ materially from those currently projected. We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance. They involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Our actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Important assumptions and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, include, but are not limited to: (i) access to sufficient working capital to meet our operating and financial needs; (ii) our ability to respond to growing competition in our markets for discount long distance services as well as the extent, timing and success of such competition; (iii) our ability to expand into new markets and to effectively manage our growth; (iv) the profitability of our entry and expansion into the U.S. market; (v) customer acceptance and effectiveness of us as a discount long distance provider and our ability to assimilate new technology and to adapt to technological change in the telecommunications industry; (vi) our ability to develop and provide voice over internet and web-based communications services; (vii) changes in, or failure to comply with, applicable governmental regulations; (viii) our reliance on our key personnel and the availability of qualified personnel; (ix) the duration and extent of the current economic downturn especially in Canada; (x) general economic conditions or material adverse changes in markets we serve; (xi) the risk that our analyses of these risks could be incorrect and that the strategies developed to address them could be unsuccessful; (xii) changes in our accounting assumptions that regulatory

7

agencies (including the Securities and Exchange Commission) may require or that result from changes in the accounting rules or their application, which could result in an impact on our earnings; and (xiii) the various other factors discussed in this filing.

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Yak Communications (USA), Inc. is a switch based reseller specializing in offering dial-around long-distance services to consumers. The Company was incorporated in the State of Florida on December 24, 1998 and operates as a holding company of its wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United States and Canada.

The Company began offering its services to consumers in Canada in July 1999 and in the United States commencing December 2001.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and reflect the following policies:

Principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Yak Communications (USA), Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries—Yak Communications (America), Inc. and Yak Communications (Canada), Inc. (collectively the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

Revenue recognition

The Company records revenue from the sale of dial-around services and the resale of long-distance services at the time of customer usage based upon minutes of use.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue includes network costs that consist of the cost of long-distance services, processing costs, line access and usage costs. These costs are recognized when incurred.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.

Computation of earnings per common share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the earnings attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of convertible preferred stock and stock options.

Foreign currency translation and foreign assets

In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”), No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation,” assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiary were translated into United States dollars at the exchange rates in effect on the reporting date. Income and expenses are translated at an average exchange rate for the respective period. For the foreign subsidiary which utilizes its local currency as its functional currency, the resulting translation gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income. Gains or losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are reflected in earnings.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and term deposits with original maturity dates of less than 90 days.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation which is provided on the straight-line and declining balance methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Telecom switching systems	20% declining balance
Billing, administration and customer service systems	20% declining balance
Carrier identification codes loading	20% declining balance
Office furniture and equipment	20% declining balance
Leasehold improvements	over term of the lease
Computer hardware	20% declining balance
Automobile	20% declining balance
Install Lines	20% declining balance

Cost includes major expenditures for improvements and replacements which extend useful lives or increase capacity of assets as well as expenditures necessary to place assets into readiness for use. Costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the systems. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

Property and equipment (cont’d)

The Company periodically evaluates the realizability of its property and equipment. In making such evaluations, the Company compares certain financial indicators such as expected undiscounted future revenues and cash flows to the carrying amount of the assets.

Assets under capital lease are amortized using rates consistent with similar assets.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The income tax provision is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Cost of Start-up Activities

The Company expenses the cost of start-up activities and organizational costs as incurred in accordance with statement of position 98-5 “Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities”.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

Advertising and promotion expense

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The costs of promotional marketing materials are deferred and expensed as used.

Stock option plan

The Company accounts for stock options issued to employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which permits entities to continue to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No.25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and provide pro forma disclosures of the effect on net income and net income per share for employee stock option grants as if the fair value based method, as defined in SFAS No. 123, has been applied. The Company has elected to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosures required by SFAS No. 123. Under APB Opinion No. 25, the Company recognizes no compensation expense related to employee stock options, as no options are granted at a price below the fair market value on the day of grant.

Comprehensive income

The Company reports and presents comprehensive income and its components in accordance with SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. SFAS No. 130 requires only additional disclosures in the consolidated financial statements; it does not affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Other comprehensive income is comprised of the foreign translation adjustment arising from the conversion from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars and is presented as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Comprehensive income (cont’d)

Comprehensive income for the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 are as follows:

	December 31, 2002			June 30, 2002
Net income	$	1,382,075		$	208,318
Foreign currency translation adjustment		(55,421	)		(15,061	)
		1,326,654			193,257

Fair value of financial instruments

SFAS No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. For purpose of the disclosure requirements, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying values of cash, receivables, accounts payable, and other current liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair value due to the short-term maturity of the underlying financial instruments. The carrying value of the capital leases is a reasonable estimate of its fair value based on current rates for equipment obligations.

The estimated difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the advances from Telus Communications Inc. in which no interest has been charged is not material.

Reclassifications

Certain classifications were made to prior period balances to conform to the current period presentation.

Realization of the net operating loss carryforward is dependant on generating sufficient taxable income before expiration of the loss carryforwards. As such Management has provided a valuation allowance for the full amount of the deferred tax asset of $100,000 as of December 31, 2002 related to the U.S. operations.
