INFORMATION TO BE IN THE REPORT
Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
As previously reported in the Form 10-KSB filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company acquired on February 26, 1999,
all of the issued and outstanding stock of Paramount International
Telecommunications, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Paramount"). A copy of the
Acquisition Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.24 to the Company's Form 10-KSB.
Paramount is an outside service provider to the hospitality as well as to
the health care and pay-telephone industries in the United States, Mexico and
Canada. Paramount markets call accounting systems similar to a PBX system, which
with respect to hotels operate as the primary system to provide
telephone-related services, including credit card calls and third party collect
calls to their guests, as well as to produce the information necessary to bill
guests for the telephone calls and to properly manage telecommunication services
in the hotel.
The consideration to the Paramount shareholders in the transaction was
6,950,000 shares of the Company's common stock, no par value. The consideration
was determined by arm's length negotiation taking into consideration Paramount's
future earnings potential.
The shareholders of Paramount were David M. Moody, Michael Eberle, Kay
Eberle and David Paton. No material relationship existed between any of the
Paramount shareholders and the Company or any of its affiliates, any director or
officer of the Company, or any associate of any such director or officer.
At the time of closing of the transaction, each of the Paramount
shareholders entered into five-year employment agreements with Paramount. (The
agreements are identical except for offices in Paramount to be held by each of
the Paramount shareholders. Michael Eberle's agreement was filed as Exhibit
10.25 to the Company's Form 10-KSB as an example of the agreements.) Each
agreement provides for a $130,000 base salary and bonus shares of the Company's
common stock based on increases in sales revenues and maintaining profit margins
by Paramount in the two-year period April 1, 1999 to March 31, 2001. Each of the
Paramount shareholders received a signing bonus with respect to the employment
agreements of cash in the amount of $375,000 and 12,500 restricted shares of
Carnegie common stock. The cash portion of the signing bonuses, in the aggregate
amount of $1,500,000, was funded by internally generated funds and by a loan in
the amount of $400,000 from Olympia Partners, New York, New York, a shareholder
of the Company. The loan has been repaid in full.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE STOCKHOLDERS'
PARAMOUNT INTERNATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS, INC.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Paramount International
Telecommunications, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and
the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficiency and cash flows
for the years 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 audits. These financial statements have been
reissued, see Notes 8 and 12.
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 financial statements referred to above presently fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Paramount International
Telecommunications, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 1 - THE ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Paramount International Telecommunications, Inc. (the
"Company"), a Nevada S Corporation, formed in 1996, provides
telecommunication services. The Company provides its services
to the lodging and pay-telephone industries in the United
States, Canada and South America. The Company markets
third-party manufactured PBX systems. Such products represent
the primary systems used by hotels to provide
telephone-related services to their guests, as well as the
information necessary to bill guests for telephone calls and
properly manage the telecommunications environment at the
hotel. The Company bills and collects for the hotels, through
a third-party service, the cost of calls initiated by the
hotel guest. Also, the Company provides live-operator
assistance and billing services for long-distance collect
calls for the pay-telephone industry (See Note 8 -
Stockholders' Equity for capital structure of the Company).
Principles of Consolidation
The December 31, 1998 balances include the accounts of the
Company and its majority-owned subsidiary Call Data Clearing,
Inc. ("CDC") from the date of acquisition (see Note 11) July
30, 1998, after elimination of intercompany accounts and
transactions.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company
to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash, trade
receivables and notes receivable. The Company places its cash
with high quality financial institutions and at times may
exceed the FDIC $100,000 insurance limit. The Company provides
its

services in the United States, Canadian and South American
lodging industry and is thus dependent upon the conditions of
the hospitality economic sectors of these countries. Exposure
to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each
customer's financial condition. The Company monitors its
exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for
anticipated losses.
Impairment of long-lived Assets
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of",
long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts
of such assets may not be recoverable. Impairment losses would
be recognized if the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the
fair value of the assets.
Inventories
Inventories consist of PBX systems and peripherals that are
held for resale and charged to cost of goods sold upon
installation, or for rental charged to equipment when
installed and depreciated over three years. Inventories are
stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on
a first-in, first-out basis.
Equipment and Furniture
The Company capitalizes the cost of all significant equipment
and furniture additions including equipment purchased by the
Company and installed at customer locations under rental
agreements. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful
life of the asset or the terms of the lease for leasehold
improvements, whichever is shorter, on a straight-line basis,
as follows:
Telecommunication 3 years
Computers 5 years
Furniture and Fixtures 5 - 7 years
Leasehold Improvements 10 years

NOTE 1 - THE ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
Sales-Type Leases
A portion of the Company's revenue for the year ended December
31, 1998 has been generated using a sales-type lease. The
Company sold equipment to a customer under a sales-type lease
to be paid over a three-year period. Because the present value
(computed at the rate implicit in the lease) of the minimum
payments under this sales-type lease equals or exceeds 90
percent of the fair market value of the equipment and/or the
length of the lease exceeds 75 percent of the estimated
economic life of the equipment, the Company recognized the net
effect of this transaction as a sale as required by generally
accepted accounting principles.
Minority Interest
The December 31, 1998 financial statements do not reflect a
minority interest liability as CDC, on a stand-alone basis has
a stockholders' deficiency, and the consolidated statement of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1998 does not
reflect a minority interest's share of CDC's losses, as the
related accrual would result in the Company's recordation of a
minority interest receivable.
Revenue Recognition
The Company bills and collects, through a third party service,
the cost of calls initiated by the hotel guests. The Company
recognizes revenue each month based on the gross proceeds to
be collected which are net of contractual allowances for
uncollectible fees charged by the third-party billing agency.
Product sales are recognized upon delivery of product to the
customer.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts or income taxes in accordance with SFAS
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Deferred taxes are
provided on a liability

method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for
deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities
are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary
differences are the differences between the reported of assets
and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are
reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of
management, it is more likely than not that some portion or
all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of
changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
The Company has elected to be taxed under the provisions of
Sub Chapter-S of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the
provisions, the Company does not pay federal corporate income
taxes, but is subject to a 1.5% California franchise tax.
NOTE 2 - RECEIVABLE SALES-TYPE LEASE
In May 1998, the Company sold equipment to a customer under a
sales-type lease to be paid over a three year period. Future
minimum lease payments under the lease are as follows:

Paramount Marketing & Telecommunications, Inc. ("PMT") was
incorporated in the State of California in March 1996. PMT
issued 1,000 shares of its no par value common stock, of which
180 were purchased by Stockholders ("Stockholders A") for
$250,000 and the remaining five stockholders received 820
