PART III - NARRATIVE
On December 8, 1998 Clariti Telecommunications International, Ltd. ("Clariti")
acquired all of the outstanding common stock of GlobalFirst Holdings, Ltd.
("GlobalFirst"), a privately held telecommunications firm with operations in
the United Kingdom and several other countries in Western Europe (the
"GlobalFirst Acquisition"). On February 3, 1999, Clariti sold all of the
outstanding common stock of Telnet Products & Services, Ltd. ("Telnet"). Prior
to its sale, Telnet was one of several businesses operated by GlobalFirst. On
March 16, 1999, Clariti acquired all of the outstanding common stock of
MediaTel Global Communications, Ltd. ("MediaTel"), a switchless reseller of
telecommunications services in the United Kingdom. The registrant and its
independent accountants have been working diligently to acquire the necessary
information to accurately present the effects of the sale of Telnet and the
MediaTel acquisition in the consolidated financial statements for the three-
month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1999. Several difficulties have
been encountered in preparing these financial statements, including an
inability to promptly locate financial data for some of the European operations
and the need to conform MediaTel's financial information into U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. As a result, it is management's opinion that
financial statements for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31,
1999 cannot be completed by May 17, 1999 (the original due date for Form 10-
QSB) without unreasonable effort or expense. Management expects to file a
completed Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 on or before May 24,
1999.

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 during the preceding 12 months been
filed? (X)Yes ( )No
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected
by the earnings statement to be included in the subject report thereon?
(X)Yes ( )No
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively
and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a
reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
Explanation:
-----------
Pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, the GlobalFirst
Acquisition has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Thus,
GlobalFirst was deemed to be the acquiror and Clariti was considered the
acquired company for purposes of applying purchase accounting rules. As
a result, the registrant's unaudited interim earnings statements for the
three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1999 will reflect
results of operations for GlobalFirst for the full three-month and nine-
month periods, and Clariti's results of operations for only the period
from the acquisition date (December 8, 1998) to March 31, 1999. In
contrast, the registrant's results of operations for the corresponding
periods for the last fiscal year reflected Clariti's results of
operations only. The sale of Telnet and the acquisition of MediaTel are
also expected to have an effect on the 1999 results.
Clariti incurred net losses of approximately $.09 million and $3.3
million for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1998,
respectively. Final consolidated results of operations for the three-
month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1999 have not yet been
completed; however, management expects that such results will reflect net
losses substantially greater than the prior year results noted above due
to the inclusion of GlobalFirst results of operations for the entire
three-month and nine-month periods as a result of the reverse acquisition
accounting treatment, as well as the impact of the sale of Telnet and the
acquisition of MediaTel.
