Part IV (3) Explanation

Active Link Communications, Inc. (the "Company") results have not been
finalized. The Company currently expects to report net losses of approximately
$1,939,000, as compared to a net loss of $540,000 for the comparable period
ended June 30, 2001. Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 is
expected to be $2,511,000 compared to total revenue of $3,817,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in sales for the current period was
predominately caused by supplier requirements to prepay product purchases,
thereby limiting sales based upon available capital.

In addition, the Company anticipates reporting additional interest expense of
approximately $994,000 related to imputed interest cost on the contingent
conversion feature of convertible debt of the Company. As noted above, the
anticipated interest expense is expected to have a material adverse effect upon
the Company's results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, when
compared to the same period of 2001.
