                    Notes to Condensed Financial Statements


Basis of Presentation

The accompanying  financial information of the Company is prepared in accordance
with the rules prescribed for filing condensed interim financial statements and,
accordingly, does not include all disclosures that may be necessary for complete
financial  statements  prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The disclosures presented are sufficient, in managements opinion, to
make  the  interim  information  presented  not  misleading.   All  adjustments,
consisting of normal  recurring  adjustments,  which are necessary so as to make
the interim  information not misleading,  have been made.  Results of operations
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 are not  necessarily  indicative of
results of  operations  that may be expected  for the year ending  December  31,
1997.  It is  recommended  that  this  financial  information  be read  with the
complete  financial  statements  included in the Companys  Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1996 previously filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.


Per Share Information

Net loss per share is  computed  using  the  weighted  average  number of common
shares and common share equivalents  outstanding  during the periods  presented.
Common  share  equivalents  result  from  outstanding  options  and  warrants to
purchase common stock.

Restatement of Financial Information

The Company has  restated  its  financial  statements  for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 to capitalize  the debt issuance costs incurred in connection
with its Bridge Loan  financing.  The Company had  originally  expensed the debt
issuance costs as additional interest expense.

In  connection  with the Bridge Loan,  the Company  agreed to issue one share of
common  stock for each $5 loaned to the  Company.  The fair market  value of the
common stock ($750,000) and the commission paid on the Bridge Loan ($97,500) are
capitalized  as debt issuance  costs and are being  amortized  over the 15 month
loan as interest expense.

In the opinion of management,  all material adjustments necessary to correct the
financial statements have been recorded.  The impact of these adjustments on the
company's financial results as originally reported is summarized below:

Managements  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and Results of
  Operations

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 vs. Three Months Ended September 30, 1996

     Net Sales.  For three  months  ended  September  30,  1997,  net sales were
$190,839 versus  $166,853 in the same period of the prior year,  representing an
increase of $23,986.  The increase in net sales is primarily  attributed  to the
implementation  of several marketing  initiatives and higher customer  retention
rates. The Company intends to continue to increase  marketing  efforts and offer
diversified Internet services to increase revenues.

     Gross Profit.  For three months ended September 30, 1997,  gross profit was
$99,925  versus  $119,164  in 1996,  representing  a decrease  of  $19,239.  The
decrease  in  gross  profit  resulted  from  higher   telecommunications  costs.
Management  believes  that the gross margin will  increase as Internet  services
revenue increases.

     Sales and  Marketing.  Sales and  marketing  expenses  were $21,596 for the
three months ended  September  30, 1997 versus  $6,415 in 1996.  The increase in
sales and  marketing  expenses was  primarily due to the addition of a marketing
manager position and increased  advertising.  As the financial  situation of the
Company  improves,  the Company  intends to allocate more resources to sales and
marketing in order to increase revenues.

     General  and  Administrative.  General  and  administrative  expenses  were
$317,924 in the three months  ended  September  30, 1997 versus  $161,550 in the
same period 1996. The increase in general and administrative  costs is primarily
attributed  to expenses  associated  with the  Company's  May 1997  Registration
Statement covering the May 1997 Securities  including legal and accounting fees.
The Company  also  incurred  $10,372 of bad debts  during the three months ended
September 30, 1997.

     Operating  Loss.  For the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1997,  the
operating loss was $238,795 compared to an operating loss of $48,801 in the same
period of 1996.  The increase in the operating  loss in 1997 is primarily due to
the expenses  associated  with the May 1997  Registration  Statement,  increased
legal fees and higher  telecommunications costs. The Company will seek to reduce
general and administrative  costs by renegotiating or cancelling its Shaw Avenue
capital lease and its Visella, California lease.

     Interest Expense.  Net interest expense increased to $174,375 for the three
months ended  September  30, 1997 from $48,089 in the same period of 1996,  as a
result of  amortization  of the  Bridge  Loan debt  issuance  costs and  accrued
interest on the Bridge Loans.  The interest  expense was somewhat  offset by the
interest earned on cash and short term investments.

     Other  income.  Net other income  increased to $48,584 for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 as a result of rental income generated by the Company's
office building as well as miscellaneous  sales.  Total rental income recognized
was $36,000 all of which was paid in December 1997.

Results of Operations

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996

     Net Sales.  For the nine months ended  September  30, 1997,  net sales were
$550,969 versus  $544,590 in the same period of the prior year,  representing an
increase of $6,379. The slight increase in net sales is primarily  attributed to
higher customer retention rates and increased sales.

     Gross Profit.  For nine months ended  September 30, 1997,  gross profit was
$343,668  versus  $387,677 in 1996,  representing  a decrease  of  $44,009.  The
decrease in gross profit is attributed to higher telecommunications costs.

     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were $50,403 for the nine
months ended  September 30, 1997 versus  $47,538 in 1996.  The increase in sales
and  marketing  expenses  were  caused by  increased  advertising.  The  Company
believes  that sales and  marketing  expenses will continue to increase if funds
are available to the Company to promote its products and services.

     General and Administrative.  General and administrative  expenses increased
from  $693,014  in 1996 to  $1,059,815  in 1997.  The  increase  in general  and
administrative  costs  is  primarily  attributed  to costs  associated  with the
Company's  May 1997  Registration  Statement  covering  the May 1997  Securities
including  $77,971 of legal and  accounting  fees.  The  Company  also  incurred
$10,372 of bad debts during the nine months ended September 30, 1997.
  
     Operating Loss. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the operating
loss was $766,550  compared to an operating  loss of $352,875 in the same period
of 1996. The operating loss in 1997 is attributed to the  significant  increases
in general and administrative expenses described above. The Company will seek to
reduce general and administrative  costs by renegotiating or cancelling its Shaw
Avenue Capital lease and its Visella, California lease.

     Interest  Expense.  Net interest expense increased to $204,747 for the nine
months ended  September  30, 1997 from $136,187 in the same period of 1996, as a
result of  amortization  of the  Bridge  Loan debt  issuance  costs and  accrued
interest on the Bridge Loans.  The increase was due to higher  interest  expense
related to the 1997 bridge loan. The interest expense was somewhat offset by the
interest earned on cash and short term investments.

     Other  income.  Net other income  increased to $203,429 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 as a result of rental income generated by the Company's
office building as well as miscellaneous  sales.  Total rental income recognized
was  $108,000 and the total amount  collected  was $48,000.  (The balance of the
outstanding rent was paid in December 1997).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the nine months ended  September 30, 1997, the Company used cash of $968,543
for operating  activities.  As of September 30, 1997,  the Company had a working
capital  deficiency  of $584,615.  The working  capital  deficiency is primarily
attributed to the $750,000  bridge loan in 1997.  The Company  intends to reduce
the working  capital  deficiency by increasing  revenue,  reducing  expenses and
obtaining long-term  financing.  There can be no assurance that the Company will
be successful in such actions in which event it may be necessary for the Company
to substantially reduce its operations.

Capital  expenditures  relating primarily to the purchase of computer equipment,
furniture  and fixtures,  and other assets  amounted to $33,402 and $448,210 for
the nine months ended  September 30, 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  In addition,
the Company  acquired  computer  equipment  through  capital  leases for $69,959
during the nine month period ended September 30, 1997.

Beginning in June 1997, and ending in August 1997, the Company  received a total
of $750,000 in bridge loan proceeds from unrelated individuals. The net proceeds
were used for  working  capital,  marketing  expenses  and to  purchase  capital
assets.  In  connection  with such  bridge  loans,  the Company  issued  150,000
restricted shares of common stock, subject to demand registration and piggy back
registration  rights at the  Compan's  expense.  Such  shares were issued to the
individual  investors at the commencement of their bridge loans. The fair market
value of the common stock  ($750,000) and the commission paid on the Bridge Loan
($97,500) are  capitalized as debt issuance  costs and are being  amortized over
the 15 month loan as interest expense.
