PART I
ITEM 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
GTC Telecom Corp. (the "Company" or "GTC") is a single source
provider of various Telecommunication services, including long
distance telephone and calling card services, as well as various
Internet related services including Internet Service Provider access
and Web Page Hosting. GTC Telecom Corp. was organized as a Nevada
Corporation on May 17, 1994 and is currently based in Costa Mesa,
California.
On August 31, 1998, GTC Telecom Corp. (which at the time was
designated Bobernco, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Bobernco")
acquired all of the outstanding common stock of GenTel
Communications, Inc., a Colorado corporation ("GenTel") in a
business combination described as a "reverse acquisition." For
accounting purposes, the acquisition has been treated as the
acquisition of Bobernco (the Registrant) by GenTel.
GenTel Communications, was formerly known as GenX, LLC ("GenX").
GenX, a Delaware limited liability company, was formed on May 29,
1997. GenTel Communications, Inc., a Colorado corporation was formed on
December 9, 1997 and was inactive until its reorganization with
GenX. Effective February 3, 1998, pursuant to a plan of
reorganization, the members of GenX converted their members'
interest into 8,786,950 shares of the Common Stock of GenTel.
Subsequently, GenX was dissolved. At the time of its acquisition by
Bobernco, GenTel operated as provider of long distance telephone
services.
Immediately prior to the acquisition, Bobernco had 1,800,000 shares
of Common Stock outstanding. As part of Bobernco's reorganization
with GenTel, Bobernco issued 8,986,950 shares of its Common Stock
to the shareholders of GenTel in exchange for 8,986,950 shares of
GenTel Common Stock. Immediately following the merger, Bobernco
changed its name to GTC. Bobernco had no significant operations
prior to the merger. Subsequent to the acquisition, the former
shareholders of GenTel constituted 83.31% of the total outstanding
shares of the Common Stock of the Company and the original
shareholders of Bobernco constituted 16.69% of the total outstanding
shares of the Common Stock of the Company. The Company's common
stock currently trades on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board under the
symbol "GTCC."
BUSINESS OF THE ISSUER
The Company currently offers a variety of services designed to meet
its customers' telecommunications and Internet related needs. The
Company's services consists of the following:
TELECOMMUNICATIONS RELATED SERVICES
The Company is currently licensed in 38 states and the District of
Columbia to provide long distance telecommunications services. The
Company primarily services small and medium sized businesses and
residential customers throughout the United States. The Company has
positioned itself to be a low-cost provider in the marketplace. By
offering low rates, the Company expects to add customers at an
accelerated pace. To date, the Company has operated as a
switchless(1), nonfacilities-based reseller of long distance
services. By committing to purchase large usage volumes from
carriers such as MCI/WorldCom, Inc. pursuant to contract tariffs(2),
the Company has been able to procure substantial discounts and offer
low-cost, high-quality long distance services to its customers at
rates below the current standard industry levels.
____________________
1 Switchless resellers of long distance services do not
utilize any of their own lines, or switching equipment.
2 Contract tariffs are services and rates based on contracts
negotiated with individual customers, but also available to all customers.
The Company provides long distance telephone service under a variety
of plans. These include outbound service, inbound toll-free 800
service and dedicated private line services(3) for data. The
Company does not currently provide local telephone service. The
Company's long distance services are billed on a monthly basis
either directly by the Company or by the Local Exchange Carrier(4)
("LEC") through the services of Billing Concepts, Inc. dba U.S.
Billing ("USBI"). If these services are billed directly by the
Company, the customer has a choice of paying by credit card or
sending payment to the Company. If these services are billed by the
LEC, the LEC is responsible for collecting the amount billed and
remitting the proceeds to the Company. The Company is also in the
process of developing a voice-over-IP ("VoIP")(5) technology network
to complement its long distance telecommunications services. Please
refer to the Management's Discussion and Analysis section of this
Document. In addition, the Company is also exploring the
possibility of providing local telephone service. Whether the
Company will be able to provide local telephone services is
dependent on its ability to negotiate contracts with third-party
providers of local telephone service on favorable terms. The
Company has initiated negotiations with certain local telephone
providers but has not reached any agreements. Therefore, there can
be no assurances that the Company will be able to offer local
telephone service.

INTERNET RELATED SERVICES
The Company also recently began providing a variety of Internet
related services. These services, available to both consumer and
business users, include prepaid calling cards at the Company's
ecallingcards.com web site; Internet Services Provider access
through dial-up(6), Digital Subscriber Line ("DSL")(7), and Wireless
T-1 methods(8); and Internet Web Page development and hosting
services(9). The Company's Internet related services are billed
using the same methods as those used for billing its
Telecommunication services. The Company's Internet related
services, with the exception of its prepaid calling cards, are
provided pursuant to contracts with third-party providers, who
remain competitors with the Company. By contracting with
third-party providers to purchase large quantities of usage volumes,
the Company is able to secure significant discounts which then
allows the Company to offer these services to its end-users at rates
at or lower than its competitors.
____________________
6 Modem access via traditional telephone lines.
7 Digital Subscriber Line ("DSL") utilizes advanced technology
to transmit data over copper lines at speeds up to 1,000 faster than
Dial-Up service.
8 Wireless T-1 services are Internet connections using
microwave or radio frequencies, without the use of a cable
connection, that can transfer data at speeds up to 1.5 million
bits-per-second.
9 Web Page Hosting services permits customers to market
themselves on the Internet without having to invest significantly in
technology infrastructure and operations staff.
The Company's Internet Service Provider Access service is currently
provided on a nationwide basis. Dial-up service provides unlimited
Internet access and several related services using conventional
modems at access speeds up to 56 kbps for a $14.95 monthly fee. DSL
service provides a faster, more efficient method for communicating
digital data over telephone lines. DSL speeds are significantly
faster than conventional modem speeds (up to 1.1 Mbps versus 56 kbps
for Dial-up service). The monthly DSL service charge ranges from
$100 to $260 depending on speed and service options. A one-time
set-up fee of $500 is also charged.
Currently, the Company's Wireless T-1 services are only available in
the Southern California region. Wireless T-1 allows businesses to
utilize connections at 1.5 Mbps without contracting for T-1 service
from local telephone companies. Wireless T-1 Service fees range
from $299 to $899 per month with a one-time set-up fee of $2,500.
The Company plans on expanding this service to include other
regions. Whether the Company is able to provide its Wireless T-1
services to other regions depends on whether the Company will be
able to secure contracts with third-party suppliers on favorable
terms. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to
obtain such contracts and therefore be able to expand its Wireless
T-1 service to other regions.
The Company's Internet Web Page Hosting services are currently
available on a nationwide basis. Internet Web Page Hosting services
provides space on the Company's Web Server computers for customers
to publish their own Web Pages. Internet Web Page Hosting fees are
$29.95 per month, with a one-time set-up fee of $29.95.
TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY BACKGROUND
The $88.6 billion U.S. long distance industry is dominated by the
nation's three largest long distance providers, AT&T, MCI/WorldCom
and Sprint, which together generated approximately 80.3% of the
aggregate revenue of all U.S long distance interexchange carriers in
1997. Other long distance companies, some with national
capabilities, accounted for the remainder of the market.
Based on published FCC estimates(10), toll service revenues of U.S.
long distance interexchange carriers have grown from $38.8 billion
in 1984 to $88.6 billion in 1997. While industry revenues have
grown at a compounded annual rate of 6.6% since 1984, the revenues
of carriers other than AT&T, MCI/WorldCom and Sprint have grown at a
compounded rate of 124.6% during the same period. As a result, the
aggregate market share of all interexchange carriers other than
AT&T, MCI/WorldCom and Sprint has grown from 2.6% in 1984 to 19.8%
in 1997. During the same period, the market share of AT&T declined
from 90.1% to 44.5%.
____________________
10 As published on the FCC's Website located at www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/
Common_Carrier/Reports/FCC-State_Link/socc/97socc.pdf.
Prior to the Telecommunications Act, signed by President Clinton on
February 8, 1996, the long distance telecommunications industry had
been principally shaped by a court decree between AT&T and the
United States Department of Justice, known as the Modification of
Final Judgment (the "Consent Decree") that in 1984 required the
divestiture by AT&T of its 22 Bell operating companies and divided
the country into some 200 Local Access and Transport Areas, or
"LATAs." The 22 operating companies, which were combined into seven
Regional Bell Operating Companies, or "RBOCs", were given the right
to provide local telephone service, local access service to long
distance carriers and intraLATA toll service (service within LATAs),
but were prohibited from providing interLATA service (service
between LATAs). The right to provide interLATA service was
maintained by AT&T and the other carriers.
To encourage the development of competition in the long distance
market, the Consent Decree and the FCC require most LECs to provide
all carriers with access to local exchange services that is equal in
type, quality and price to that provided to AT&T and with the
opportunity to be selected by customers as their preferred long
distance carrier. These so-called equal access and related
provisions are intended to prevent preferential treatment of AT&T.
On February 8, 1996, the President signed the Telecommunications Act
(the "Act"), which is intended to introduce more competition to U.S.
telecommunications markets. The Act opens the local services market
by requiring LECs to permit interconnection to their networks and
establishing among other things, LEC obligations with respect to
access, resale, number portability, dialing party, access to
rights-of-way, and mutual compensation. The legislation also
codifies the LECs' equal access and nondiscrimination obligations
and pre-empts most inconsistent state regulation.
Regulatory, judicial and technological factors have helped to create
the foundation for smaller companies to emerge as competitive
alternatives to AT&T, MCI/WorldCom and Sprint for long distance
telecommunications services. The FCC requires that AT&T not
restrict the resale of its services, and the Consent Decree and
regulatory proceedings have ensured that access to LEC networks is,
in most cases, available to all long distance carriers.
DEVELOPMENT AND STRATEGY OF THE COMPANY
The Company's telecommunication services are currently licensed in
the states of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado,
Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky,
Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana,
Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North
Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota,
Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Washington
D.C., Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The Company is in the process of
obtaining licences to provide its services in the remaining states,
except Alaska. However, there can be no assurances that the Company
will be successful in obtaining such licences.
The Company plans to market its products and services using four
methods. The first of those methods is to do an aggressive
concentrated media campaign that utilizes a professional advertising
agency. The Company launched its first media campaign on March 1,
1999 utilizing television and radio advertisement and print media
targeting Southern California as well as nationwide audiences using
cable television advertisement. The Company intends to continue to
utilize both broadcasting and print media campaigns in the future.
The Company presently has allocated sufficient funds to continue its
media campaign through the end of its fiscal year 1999 (June 30,
1999). The Company's ability to continue such media campaigns in
the future is dependant upon the Company's ability to secure
financing for such media campaigns. Therefore, there can be no
assurances that it will be able to continue to utilize such media
campaigns in the future.
The second method of marketing the Company's products and services
is through outside telemarketing agencies. These firms are
paid on a commission only basis. The Company estimates that it
will cost an average of thirty-five dollars ($35.00) to obtain each
customer, while the average customer generates two hundred and forty
dollars ($240.00) in revenue per year. The Company currently
utilizes the services of two telemarketing companies. These
companies operate on a nationwide basis. As of March 31, 1999,
these companies have generated 964 customers for the Company's
telecommunications services.
The third method of marketing the Company's products and services
utilizes its own sales force and independent sales agents working on
its behalf. The sales force will consist of properly trained
professionals within the industry that are currently looking for an
opportunity to sell at rates that are lower than the industry
standard. Many of these professionals will come from companies such
as MCI/WorldCom, LCI International, TelCo and Frontier
Communications where the average calling rate is 10-12 cents per
minute. The Company has recently hired a V.P. of Sales from
MCI/WorldCom and a National Accounts Manager from Cable & Wireless
Communications PLC, both with extensive sales and marketing
backgrounds in the telecommunications industry. In addition, the
Company has already engaged in discussions with many potential
representatives to work for the Company based on commission-only (8%
to 10% of collected billings) compensation packages. However, there
can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in
retaining its in-house sales force or in acquiring independent sales
agents to work on its behalf at the commission-only compensation
packages described.
The fourth method of marketing the Company's products and services
utilizes the Internet. The Company currently markets and
distributes its Telecommunications and Internet related services
through the Internet utilizing its gtctelecom.com and
ecallingcards.com web pages. The Company also plans to market
international calling plans as well as co-brand calling cards and
advertise domestic long distance rates on the Internet through joint
agreements such as its agreement with Community Connect Inc.'s
online community for Asian Americans, AsianAvenue.com. There can be
no assurances that such joint agreements will continue or that the
Company will be able to develop such joint agreements in the future.
The Company believes these four marketing methods will be adequate
to sustain the Company now and for the foreseeable future.
COMPETITION
Telecommunication Services
The long distance telecommunications industry is highly competitive
and affected by the introduction of new services by, and the market
activities of, major industry participants. Competition in the long
distance business is based upon pricing, customer service, billing
services and perceived quality. The Company competes against
various national and regional long distance carriers that are
composed of both facilities-based providers and switchless resellers
offering essentially the same services as the Company. Several of
the Company's competitors are substantially larger and have greater
financial, technical and marketing resources. The Company believes
that it is able to compete with these competitors by providing high
quality service at the lowest price possible.
The Company believes that the pricing strategies and cost structures
of the major long distance carriers have resulted historically in
their charging higher rates to the small to medium sized business
customer. Small to medium-sized business customers typically are
not able to make the volume commitments necessary to negotiate
reduced rates under individualized contracts. By committing to
large volumes of traffic, the Company is guaranteeing traffic to the
major long distance carrier while relieving the major long distance
carrier of the administrative burden of qualifying and servicing
large numbers of small to medium-sized accounts. To be successful,
the Company believes that it must have lower overhead costs and be
able to efficiently market the long distance product, process
orders, verify credit and provide customer service to a large number
of accounts. Although the Company believes it has human and
technical resources to pursue its strategy and compete effectively
in this competitive environment, its success will depend upon its
continued ability to profitably provide high quality, high value
services at prices generally competitive with, or lower than, those
charged by its competitors. There can be no assurances that the
Company will be able to compete successfully in these markets.
The Company currently links its switching equipment with
transmission facilities and services purchased or leased from
MCI/WorldCom and will continue to resell services obtained from
MCI/WorldCom, which will remain a competitor of the Company for the
provision of telecommunications services. However, there can be no
assurances that the Company will be able to continue to provide its
Telecommunication Services through MCI/WorldCom.
In a continual effort to lower the costs of its services, the
Company has entered into a contract with the Williams Company to
secure the acquisition of its own nationwide long distance and
Internet Network based on VoIP technology. Please refer to the
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations section of this
document for further details. The Company believes that by
developing its own network, the Company will be able to
substantially lower the transmission costs of its telecommunication
service.
The Telecommunications Act is intended to introduce more competition
to U.S. telecommunications markets. The legislation opens the local
services market by requiring LECs to permit interconnection to their
networks and establishing, among other things, LEC obligations with
respect to access, resale, number portability, dialing parity,
access to rights-of-way and mutual compensation. The legislation
also codifies the LECs' equal access and nondiscrimination
obligations and preempts most inconsistent state regulation. The
legislation also contains special provisions that eliminate
restrictions on the RBOCs providing long distance services, which
means that the Company will face competition for providing long
distance services from well capitalized, well known companies that
prior to this time could not compete in long distance service.
The RBOCs have been prohibited from providing interLATA
interexchange telecommunications services under the terms of the
AT&T decree. The Telecommunications Act authorizes the RBOCs to
provide certain interLATA interexchange telecommunications services
immediately and others upon the satisfaction of certain conditions.
Such legislation includes certain safeguards against anticompetitive
conduct by the RBOCs in the provision of interLATA service.
Anticompetitive conduct could result from, among other things, a
RBOC's access to all subscribers on its existing network as well as
its potentially lower costs related to the termination and
origination of calls within its territory. It is impossible to
predict whether such safeguards will be adequate to protect against
anticompetitive conduct by the RBOCs and the impact that any
anticompetitive conduct would have on the Company's business and
prospects. Because of the name recognition that the RBOCs have in
their existing markets and the established relationships that they
have with their existing local service customers, and their ability
to take advantage of those relationships, as well as the possibility
of favorable interpretations of the Telecommunications Act by the
RBOCs, it may be more difficult for other providers of long distance
services, such as the Company, to compete to provide long distance
services to RBOC customers. At the same time, as a result of the
Telecommunications Act, RBOCs have become potential customers for
the Company's long distance services.
Internet Related Services
The market for Internet-based online services is relatively new,
intensely competitive and rapidly changing. Since the advent of
commercial services on the Internet, the number of Internet Service
Providers and online services competing for users' attention and
spending has proliferated because of, among other reasons, the
absence of substantial barriers to entry, and the Company expects
that competition will continue to intensify. Many of the Company's
current and potential competitors such as Earthlink, PsiNet, AOL,
UUNET, Microsoft Network, and Prodigy have longer operating
histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and
significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources.
These competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or
emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements and to
devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of
their products and services than the Company. The Company believes
that its Internet related services are marketed at competitive rates
and provide quality and services comparable to its competitors.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
compete successfully against its current or future competitors.
In a continual effort to lower the costs of its services, the
Company has entered into an agreement with the Williams Company to
secure the acquisition of its own nationwide long distance and
Internet Network based on VoIP technology. Please refer to
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations section of this
document for further details. The Company believes that by
developing its own network, the Company will be able to
substantially lower the acquisition costs of its Internet services.
CUSTOMER ATTRITION
The Company believes that a high level of customer attrition is a
characteristic of the domestic residential long distance and
Internet related industries. Attrition is attributable to a variety
of factors, including the termination of customers by the Company
for non-payment and the initiatives of existing and new competitors
as they engage in, among other things, national advertising
campaigns, telemarketing programs and the issuance of cash or other
forms of incentives. Such attrition could have a material adverse
effect upon the Company's future results of operations and financial
conditions.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY CUSTOMERS
The Company is not dependent on any single customer for a
significant portion of its annual sales. The Company's customer
base changes on a continuous basis as new customers are added or
removed.
MAJOR SUPPLIERS
The Company does not own its own long distance network, and pursuant
to the Company's contract with MCI/WorldCom, the Company currently
depends primarily upon MCI/WorldCom to provide for the transmission
of phone calls by its customers and to provide the call detail
records upon which the Company bases its customers billings. Under
the terms of the three-year contract entered into with MCI/WorldCom
on August 10, 1998 the Company is obligated to a minimum monthly
revenue commitment of $10,000 commencing March 1999. The contract
expires on September 30, 2001. Pursuant to the terms of the
contract with MCI/WorldCom, the Company must pay liquidated damages
in an amount equal to the aggregate minimum revenue requirement for
the remaining term of the contract if the Company terminates the
contract prior to the expiration date. Although the Company
believes that its relations with MCI/WorldCom are strong and should
remain so with continued contract compliance, the termination of the
Company's contract with MCI/WorldCom, the loss of telecommunications
services provided by MCI/WorldCom, or a reduction in the quality of
service the Company receives from MCI/WorldCom could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. In addition,
the accurate and prompt billing of the Company's customers is
dependent upon the timeliness and accuracy of call detail records
provided to the Company by MCI/WorldCom.
In the event that MCI/WorldCom were to discontinue its service to
the Company, the Company believes, based upon discussions that the
Company has had with other long distance providers and based on such
providers' published contract tariffs, that it could negotiate and
obtain contracts with other long distance providers to resell long
distance services at rates at or below its current contract tariffs
with MCI/WorldCom. If the Company were to enter into contracts with
another provider, however, the Company believes it would take
approximately thirty (30) days to switch end users to that provider.
Although the Company believes it may have the right to switch the
end users without their consent to such other providers, the end
users have the right to discontinue such service at any time.
Accordingly, the termination or non-renewal of the Company's
contract tariffs with MCI/WorldCom or the loss of telecommunications
services from MCI/WorldCom would likely have a material adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations and financial
condition. In an effort to minimize the Company's dependence on
MCI/WorldCom, the Company has entered into a contract with the
Williams Company to secure the acquisition of its own nationwide
long distance and Internet Network based on VoIP technology. Please
refer to the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations
section of this document for further details.
The Company does not currently have its own Internet Network.
Currently, the Company provides its Internet Service Provider Access
services pursuant to a contract with Epoch Networks, Inc. dba Epoch
Internet ("Epoch"). Under the terms of the three year contract with
Epoch dated February 3, 1999, the Company is obligated to an initial
monthly minimum revenue commitment of $0.00 increasing to $25,000
per month over a seven month ramp up period. The loss of Internet
Service Provider access, or a reduction of service quality by Epoch,
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations. Pursuant to the terms of the contract with Epoch, the
Company must pay liquidated damages in an amount equal to the
aggregate minimum revenue commitment for the remaining term of the
contract if the Company terminates the contract prior to the
expiration date. In a continual effort to lower costs, the Company
is currently in the process of locating alternative or additional
Internet Services Providers to supplement or replace its current
provider.
As a result of this effort, on April 6, 1999, the Company entered
into a one-year agreement with Level 3 Communications, LLC ("Level
3") to provide its Internet Service Provider Access. The agreement,
which begins in July 1999, provides for the Company to initially pay
$36,000 per month with an initial set-up fee of $8,000. As Level 3
is able to provide service throughout the nation, the Company's
monthly minimum commitment will increase from $36,000 per month to a
maximum $60,750 per month. In addition, the Company is committed to
pay an additional set-up fee of up to $5,500. The Company is
currently in the process of negotiating the termination of its
agreement with Epoch. Unless the Company is able to negotiate the
termination of its agreement with Epoch on more favorable terms, the
Company will be committed to pay Epoch a monthly minimum of $25,000
beginning in September, 1999.
The Company's Wireless T-1 services are currently provided pursuant
to a contract with Global Pacific Internet ("Global"). Currently,
the Company's T-1 services are available only in the Southern
California region. Under the terms of its contract with Global, the
Company is not subject to a monthly minimum revenue commitment.
Although the Company believes that its relations with Global are
strong and should remain so with continued contract compliance, the
loss of Wireless T-1 services provided by Global, or a reduction in
the quality of service the Company receives from Global could have a
material adverse effect on the Company' s results of operations.
The Company anticipates that it would take between thirty (30) to
sixty (60) days to locate a replacement supplier in the event that
the Company's agreement with Global is terminated. The Company
currently plans to expand its Wireless T-1 services to other
regions. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will
or will be able to expand this service to other regions.
Previously, the Company's Internet Web Development service was
provided pursuant to contracts with Service One Communications, Inc.
("Service One") and OhGolly.com, Inc. ("OhGolly"). Web Pages
developed by Service One and OhGolly.com are housed within the
Company's own computer servers. On May 21, 1999, the Company
terminated its contracts with Service One and OhGolly.com for
non-performance. The Company anticipates that it will require
between thirty (30) to sixty (60) days to locate a replacement
supplier. Until the Company is able to locate an replacement
supplier, it will not able to develop additional Web Pages. Current
Web Page Hosting users, however, are unaffected by the termination
of the Company's agreements with Service One and OhGolly.com.
REGULATION
The Company's provision of communications services is subject to
government regulation. Federal law regulates interstate and
international telecommunications, while states have jurisdiction
over telecommunications that originate and terminate within the same
state. Changes in existing policies or regulations in any state or
by the FCC could materially adversely affect the Company's financial
condition or results of operations, particularly if those policies
make it more difficult for the Company to obtain service from
MCI/WorldCom or other long distance companies at competitive rates,
or otherwise increase the cost and regulatory burdens of marketing
and providing service. There can be no assurance that the
regulatory authorities in one or more states or the FCC will not
take action having an adverse effect on the business or financial
condition or results of operations of the Company.
Federal
The Company is classified by the FCC as a nondominant carrier.
After the recent reclassification of AT&T as nondominant, only the
LECs are classified as dominant carriers among domestic carriers.
Because AT&T is no longer classified as a dominant carrier, certain
pricing restrictions that formerly applied to AT&T have been
eliminated, which could make it easier for AT&T to compete with the
Company for low volume long distance subscribers. The FCC generally
does not exercise direct oversight over charges for service of
nondominant carriers, although it has the statutory power to do so.
Nondominant carriers are required by statute to offer interstate
services under rates, terms, and conditions that are just,
reasonable and not unreasonably discriminatory. The FCC has the
jurisdiction to act upon complaints filed by third parties, or
brought on the FCC's own motion, against any common carrier,
including nondominant carriers, for failure to comply with its
statutory obligations. Nondominant carriers are required to file
tariffs listing the rates, terms and conditions of service, which
are filed pursuant to streamlined tariffing procedures. The FCC
also has the authority to impose more stringent regulatory
requirements on the Company and change its regulatory classification
from nondominant to dominant. In the current regulatory atmosphere,
the Company believes, however, that the FCC is unlikely to do so.
The FCC imposes only minimal reporting requirements on nondominant
resellers, although the Company is subject to certain reporting,
accounting and record-keeping obligations. Both domestic and
international nondominant carriers, including the Company, must
maintain tariffs on file with the FCC.
At present, the FCC exercises its regulatory authority to set rates
primarily with respect to the rates of dominant carriers, and it has
increasingly relaxed its control in this area. Even when AT&T was
classified as a dominant carrier, the FCC most recently employed a
"price cap" system, which essentially exempted most of AT&T's
services, including virtually all of its commercial and 800
services, from traditional rate of return regulation because the FCC
believes that these services were subject to adequate competition.
State
The Company is subject to varying levels of regulation in the states
in which it currently anticipates providing intrastate
telecommunications services. The vast majority of the states
require the Company to apply for certification to provide intrastate
telecommunications services, or at least to register or to be found
exempt from regulation, before commencing intrastate service. The
vast majority of states also require the Company to file and
maintain detailed tariffs listing its rates for intrastate service.
Many states also impose various reporting requirements and/or
require prior approval for transfers of control of certified
carriers, corporate reorganizations, acquisitions of
telecommunications operations, assignments of carrier assets,
including subscriber bases, carrier stock offerings and incurrence
by carriers of significant debt obligations. Certificates of
authority can generally be conditioned, modified, canceled,
terminated or revoked by state regulatory authorities for failure to
comply with state law and the rules, regulations and policies of the
state regulatory authorities. Fines and other penalties, including
the return of all monies received for intrastate traffic from
residents of a state, may be imposed for such violations. In
certain states, prior regulatory approval may be required for
acquisitions of telecommunications operations.
As the Company expands its efforts to resell long distance services,
the Company will have to remain attentive to relevant federal and
state regulations. FCC rules prohibit switching a customer from one
long distance carrier to another without the customer's consent and
specify how that consent can be obtained. Most states have consumer
protection laws that further define the framework within which the
Company's marketing activities must be conducted. The Company
intends to comply fully with all laws and regulations, and the
constraints of federal and state restrictions could impact the
success of direct marketing efforts.
The Company is not currently subject to any State or Federal
regulation with respect to its Internet related services. However,
there can be no assurances that the Company will not be subject to
such regulations in the future. Additionally, the Company is not
aware of any pending legislation that would have a material adverse
effect on the Company's operations.
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, LICENSES
The Company does not depend upon any patents or trademarks to
conduct its business; nor does the Company hold any such patents or
trademarks. The Company is required to hold licenses with the
Federal Communication Commission for the operation of its
telecommunication services. The Company is also required to hold
licenses in the states in which it provides intrastate long distance
services. Currently, the Company is licensed in 38 states and the
District of Columbia to provide intrastate services. The Company's
federal and state telecommunication licenses are of indefinite
length and will remain effective so long as the Company complies
with all Federal and State regulations.
The Company is currently in the process of securing licenses for
operation of its telecommunication services in the remainder of the
United States, except Alaska. The Company's ability to obtain
licenses in the remaining states is dependent on the Company's
ability to meet each state's specific guidelines. Although the
Company anticipates that it will able to secure licenses in these
states, there can be no assurances that the Company will be
successful in obtaining such licenses.
COST OF COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
The Company currently has no costs associated with compliance with
environmental regulations. However, there can be no assurances that
the Company will not incur such costs in the future.
NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES
As of March 31, 1999, the Company employed approximately 20 people
on a full time basis.
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements
that are subject to business and economic risks and uncertainties,
and the Company's actual results could differ materially from those
forward-looking statements. The following discussion regarding the
financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto.
GENERAL OVERVIEW
The company's principal line of business is to provide long distance
and value-added services for small and medium-sized businesses and
residential customers throughout the United States. The Company's
strategy has been to do build a subscriber base without committing
capital or management resources to construct its own network and
transmission facilities. This strategy has allowed the Company to
add customers without being limited by capacity, geographic
coverage, or configuration of any particular network that the
Company might have developed. In order to remain competitive, the
Company believes that it must continue to offer its services at the
lowest rates possible. The Company believes that in order to
continue to offer lower than industry average rates, as well as
reduce its dependency on major suppliers, the Company will need to
either purchase or construct its own network. In furtherance of
this, the Company has entered into a contract with Williams
Communications to construct, equip and manage a voice-over-IP
network for the Company. Management believes that the creation of
such a network will allow it to continue to offer its
telecommunication and Internet services below the industry average.
Recently, the Company has begun providing a number of Internet
related services such as the sale of electronic calling cards on its
ecallingcards.com web site; Internet access via Dial-Up, Wireless
T-1, and DSL; and Internet Web Page Hosting services.
The Company's services are marketed nationwide, through broadcasting
and print media, telemarketing, independent sales agents and its
own sales force.
The Company's revenues consist of sales revenues from
telecommunication and Internet related services. These revenues are
generated when customers make long distance telephone calls from
their business or residential telephones or by using the Company's
telephone calling cards. Proceeds from prepaid telephone calling
cards are recorded as deferred revenues when the cash is received
and recognized as revenue as the telephone service is utilized. The
reserve for deferred revenues is carried on the balance sheet as an
accrued liability. Internet related services are typically billed
at a flat rate and are billed in advance. Revenues are recognized
in the period earned.
Cost of Sales include telecommunications service costs and
commissions paid for customer acquisition. Telecommunications
service costs paid by the Company are based on the Company's
customers' long distance usage. The Company pays its carriers based
on the type of call, time of call, duration of call, the terminating
telephone number, and terms of the Company's contract in effect at
the time of the call. General and administrative expenses consist
of the cost of customer service, billing, cost of information
systems and personnel required to support the Company's operations
and growth.
The Company, depending on the extent of its future growth, may
experience significant strain on its management, personnel, and
information systems. The Company will need to implement and improve
operational, financial, and management information systems. In
addition, the Company is implementing new information systems that
will provide better record-keeping, customer service and billing.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company's management
resources or information systems will be sufficient to manage any
future growth in the Company's business, and the failure to do so
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
results of operations and financial condition.
In 1998, the Company determined to change its fiscal year to June
30. As previously discussed, the Company acquired all of the
outstanding common stock of GenTel on August 31, 1998. Following
the acquisition, the Company adopted the business plan of GenTel and
changed its name to GTC.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY
The following discussion assumes that the acquisition of GenTel by
the Company occurred as of June 30, 1997.
Prior to the acquisition of GenTel by the Company, the Company had
no revenues or expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996
or the six-month period ended June 30, 1997.
Revenues

of long distance calling cards. Pursuant to the Company's newly
adopted business plan for its telecommunication services, the
Company began to acquire telecommunication customers, primarily
through the use of telemarketing. For the nine months ended March
31, 1999, the Company had approximately 1,060 telecommunication
customers, with usage of long distance services of approximately
430,000 minutes.

for both the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1998.
Cost of sales for the nine-months ended March 31, 1999 were
comprised primarily of carrier costs of $35,670, associated with the
cost of long distance service provided by MCI/WorldCom, $25,653 for
commissions paid for customer acquisition and $24,342 for the cost
of third party verification on its newly acquired customers. Cost
of sales for the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1998
was comprised of the cost of acquiring the long distance calling
cards. As a percentage of revenue, cost of sales was 38.5% for the
nine months ended March 31, 1999 resulting in a gross margin of 61.5%.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative ("S,G&A") expenses for the
three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1999 were $1,150,108
and $1,837,988, respectively, compared with $117,413 and $228,575
for the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1998. S,G&A
expenses for the nine-months ended March 31, 1999 were comprised
primarily of advertising expenses of $258,000; options valued at
$150,000 issued to a marketing company in exchange for services;
shares valued at approximately $371,000 issued to vendors in
exchange for services and rent; provision for bad debts of
approximately $249,500; options valued at approximately $48,150
issued to supplement compensation to certain key employees;
approximately $271,000 in salaries paid to employees; and $490,338
of other operating expenses, primarily rent, legal services, and

ended March 31, 1998 were comprised primarily of options valued at
approximately $71,250 issued to supplement compensation to certain
key employees; approximately $57,900 in salaries paid to employees;
and $99,425 of other operating expenses, primarily legal services.
Net loss was $1,697,266 and $178,575 for the nine months ended March
31,1999 and 1998, respectively.

liabilities of $32,261.
Stockholder's Equity
Stockholder's equity was $292,597 for the period ended March 31,
1999. Stockholder's equity consisted primarily of $1,599,731 raised
in the GenX and the Company's recent private offering of its Common
Stock, offset primarily by the accumulated deficit at March 31, 1999
of $2,148,730.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR GENTEL FROM MAY 29, 1997 (INCEPTION) TO
JUNE 30, 1998.
Revenues
For the period from inception to June 30, 1998, revenues for GenTel
totaled $497,312. This amount was from the bulk sale of long
distance calling cards.
Cost of Sales
Cost of Sales for the period from inception to June 30, 1998 of
$447,312 was comprised of the cost of acquiring the long distance
calling cards.
Selling, General & Administrative Expenses (S,G & A)
For the period from inception to June 30, 1998, S,G & A totaled
$500,665 comprised of salaries of approximately $200,000; shares
valued at approximately $95,000 issued to the CEO and Vice-President
of GenTel, options valued at approximately $71,000 issued to certain
key employees to supplement compensation, professional fees of
approximately $57,000 and rent of approximately $22,000. Net loss
for the period of inception to June 30, 1998 was $451,465.
Assets and Liabilities
GenTel's assets as of June 30, 1998 were $162,085. Assets consisted
primarily of subscriptions receivable of $142,500, computer
equipment of $17,394 and cash of $3,892. Liabilities as of June 30,
1998 were $178,075. Liabilities consisted primarily of notes
payable to shareholder of $80,000; deferred salaries of $70,000;
accrued offering costs of $20,525; and accounts payable of $7,550.
Stockholders' Deficit
Stockholders' deficit as of June 30, 1998 was ($15,990). Stockholders'
deficit consisted primarily of $269,225 raised in the sale of GenX
member interests through a private placement, options valued at
$71,250 issued to key employees to supplement compensation and stock
valued at $95,000 issued to GenTel's CEO and Vice-President to
supplement compensation, offset primarily by a net loss of $451,465
for the period ended June 30, 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Prior the acquisition of GenTel by the Company, GenTel achieved
positive cash flows of $3,892 resulting from $227,250 of cash
provided from the Company's financing activities, offset by $205,964
of cash used in operating activities and $17,394 of cash used in
investing activities.
Net cash used in operating activities of $205,964 was primarily due
to a net loss of $451,465 offset partially by increases in operating
liabilities, principally accounts payable ($7,550) and accrued
expenses ($70,000).
Net cash used in investing activities of $17,394 funded purchases of
computer equipment. Net cash provided by financing activities of
$227,250 was due to the proceeds from sales of equity interests of
GenTel's predecessor, GenX, of $147,250 and borrowings on notes
payable to a shareholder of $80,000.
Short-Term Financing
On February 12, 1999, the Company completed a private placement
offering of 1,535,000 shares of the Company's restricted (as that
term is defined by Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933) Common
Stock at a price of $1.00 per share, resulting in $1,330,000 raised,
net of issuance costs paid for brokers and finder's fees from the
offering.
In connection with the Company's private placement, the Company
entered into an Investment Banking Agreement with Transglobal
Capital Corporation ("TCC"), a licensed NASD broker on November 19,
1998. As part of this Agreement, TCC agreed to provide the Company
with consulting services and to assist the Company in raising
capital. In return, the Company agreed to compensate TCC with an
initial fee of 50,000 shares of the Company's restricted Common
Stock and to pay TCC a 13% commission on gross proceeds on financing
received by the Company as a result of TCC's efforts. In addition,
the Company agreed to issue TCC options to purchase 100,000 shares
of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 upon
receipt of the first tranche of $100,000 in financing; an option to
purchase an additional 100,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
at an exercise price of $0.01 upon receipt of $250,000 in financing;
an option to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 upon receipt of $500,000
in financing; and options to purchase an additional 300,000 shares
of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 upon the
receipt of $1,000,000 in financing. As of March 31, 1999, all
600,000 options have vested. The difference between the exercise
price ($6,000 at $.01 per share) and the fair market value of the
underlying restricted stock ($600,000 at $1.00 per share) has been
charged against additional paid in capital.
In late March 1999, the Company initiated a private placement
offering of 1,000,000 shares of the Company's restricted (as that
term is defined by Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933) Common
Stock at a price of $5.00. As of April 15, 1999, the Company had
not received any offers for subscriptions to this private offering.
The Company believes that no offers were received primarily due to
the fact that the Company's "free trading" common stock has been
trading at a price close to the $5.00 price of the private offering.
On April 21, 1999, the Company replaced its $5.00 offering with a
private placement offering (the "Private Offering") of 2,000,000
shares of the Company's restricted (as that term is defined by Rule
144 of the Securities Act of 1933) Common Stock at a price of $3.00.
The Company anticipates that this Private Offering will raise
approximately $5,220,000, net of issuance costs paid for brokers and
finder's fees, should the total offering be sold.
In addition, the Company is currently negotiating with an
institutional investor for the purchase of 2,000,000 shares of the
Company's restricted (as that term is defined by Rule 144 of the
Securities Act of 1933) Common Stock at a price of $5.00 per share
pursuant to Rule 506 promulgated under Regulation D of the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Institutional Offering"). In
conjunction with the investment, the Company has agreed to register
these shares under the Securities Act of 1933 within 120 days of the
sale.
The funds from the Private Offering and the Institutional Offering
will be used principally to complete the acquisition of the
Company's VoIP network (Please refer to the General Overview,
Long-Term Financing, and Capital Expenditure section of this
document for further information) and fund its on-going operations.
No assurances can be given, however, that the Company will be able
to complete either the Private Offering or the Institutional
Offering. The failure to complete either offering may have a
material adverse effect on the Company's operations.
Long-Term Financing
On April 30, 1999, the Company entered into a financing agreement
(the "Financing Agreement") for $26 million in equipment financing,
specifically for the Company' s VoIP network. The terms of the
financing include thirty-three (33) monthly payments of $942,760
beginning February 1, 2000. In addition, the Financing Agreement
will include a five-year warrant agreement to purchase 315,151
shares of the Company's restricted (as that term is defined by Rule
144 of the Securities Act of 1933) Common Stock at an exercise price
of $8.25 per share. The warrants include provisions for
anti-dilution protection, net exercise and registration rights. An
additional amount of capital, above and beyond the Financing
Agreement, will be needed to complete the purchase of the VoIP network.
The Private Offering and the Institutional Offering are designed to
complete the acquisition of the Company's VoIP network, meet the
Company's working capital and other cash requirements, and other
equipment purchases in connection with the expansion of its business.
The Company believes that its anticipated funds from operations,
funds from the prior sale of equity interests of GenTel's
predecessor, GenX, and funds from the sale of its recent and ongoing
Private Offering and Institutional Offering of the Company's common
stock, will be sufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working
capital, and other cash requirements for the next 12 months.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
On April 30, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with
Williams Communications, a unit of Williams of Tulsa, Oklahoma, in
which Williams Communications will design, install, maintain and
fully manage the Company's previously discussed high speed,
nationwide VoIP network. The total contract value is approximately
$110,000,000 over a five-year term. The Company also expects to
continue purchasing additional equipment in connection with the
expansion of its business. Because the Company presently does not
have the capital for such expenditures, it will have to raise these
funds. (See Long-Term Financing in this section).
GOING CONCERN
The Company's independent certified public accountants have stated
in their report included in this Form 10SB, that the Company has no
current source of revenue and, without realization of additional
capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going
concern. As stated in Short-Term Financing and Long-Term Financing
in this section, the Company believes that if it is successful in
raising these funds, that its certified public accountants would not
issue a going concern qualification regarding the Company's
financial condition in its upcoming Fiscal Year 1999 report.
However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to
raise sufficient capital to meet its needs. If the Company is not
successful in raising the necessary capital, then the Company
believes that its independent certified public accountants would
issue an opinion with a similar going concern modification regarding
the Company's financial condition.
INFLATION
Management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on
the Company's results of operations.
YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURE
The Company has completed a comprehensive review of its computer
systems to identify all software applications that could be affected
by the inability of many existing computer systems to process
time-sensitive data accurately beyond the year 1999, referred to as
the Year 2000 or Y2K issue. The Company is dependent on third-party
computer systems and applications, particularly with respect to such
critical tasks as accounting, billing and the underlying carrier
(MCI/WorldCom) of its long distance telephone service. The Company
also relies on its own computer systems. As a result of its review,
the Company has discovered no problems with its computer systems
relating to the Y2K issue. Although the Company believes that its
computer systems are Y2K compliant, the Company is continuing to
monitor its computer systems in a continual effort to insure that
its systems are Y2K compliant. Additionally, the Company has
obtained written assurances from its major suppliers indicating that
they have completed a review of their respective computer systems
and that such systems are Y2K compliant. Costs associated with the
Company's review were not material to its results of operations.
While the Company believes that its procedures have been designed to
be successful, because of the complexity of the Year 2000 issue and
the interdependence of organizations using computer systems, there
can be no assurances that the Company's efforts, or those of third
parties with whom the Company interacts, have fully resolved all
possible Year 2000 issues. Failure to satisfactorily address the
Year 2000 issue could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The most likely worst case Y2K scenario which management has
identified to date is that, due to unanticipated Y2K compliance
problems, the Company may be unable to bill its customers, in full
or in part, for services used. Should this occur, it would result
in a material loss of some or all gross revenue to the Company for
an indeterminable amount of time, which could cause the Company to
cease operations. The Company has not yet developed a contingency
plan to address this worst case Y2K scenario, and does not intend to
develop such a plan in the future.
ITEM 3 - DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Effective June 1, 1998, the Company began leasing approximately
2,712 square feet of administrative office space in Costa Mesa,
California at a monthly rental rate of $5,017 per month. This
facility serves as the Company's headquarters and primary place of
business. The monthly rental rate is scheduled to increase to
$5,560 on June 1, 1999, through the end of the lease. The lease
expires on May 31, 2001.
In addition, on February 8, 1999, the Company entered into a
month-to-month lease for approximately 1,987 square feet of office
space for its customer service operation, at a monthly rental rate
of $3,676 per month, at its headquarters building in Costa Mesa.
The lease obligates the Company to pay the first three months of
rent and will automatically expire on February 7, 2000, unless
previously terminated either by the Company or by Lessor given
thirty (30) days written notice.
Due to anticipated growth, the Company is in the process of looking
for new space for its headquarters and customer service operations.
The Company believes that it will be able to locate such space on
reasonable rates and terms.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
GenTel Communications
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of GenTel
Communications, formerly known as GenX, LLC, (a development stage
company) (the "Company") as of June 30, 1998, and the related
statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for
the periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 and for the period from
May 29, 1997 (date of inception) through June 30, 1998. 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 audit.
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
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of the Company as of June 30, 1998, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 1998
and 1997 and for the period from May 29, 1997 (date of inception)
through June 30, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 1, the Company has been in the development
stage since its inception on May 29, 1997. Realization of a
major portion of the assets is dependent upon the Company's
ability to raise funds through debt or equity offerings, and the
success of future operations. These factors raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997 AND
FOR THE PERIOD FROM MAY 29, 1997 (DATE OF INCEPTION)
THROUGH JUNE 30, 1998
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
PRINCIPLES
Organization and Operations
GenTel Communications ("GenTel") (a development stage company)
(the "Company"), was formerly known as GenX, LLC, ("GenX").
GenX, a Delaware limited liability company was formed on
May 29, 1997. GenTel Communications, a Colorado corporation,
was formed December 9, 1997 and was inactive until the
reorganization. Effective February
3, 1998 and pursuant to a plan of reorganization, the members of
GenX converted their members' interest into common stock of
GenTel and GenX was dissolved. These financial statements
include the activity of GenX from the date of GenX's inception,
with operations commencing in August 1997. The Company has been
in the development stage since its formation. During the
development stage, the Company is primarily engaged
in raising capital, obtaining financing, advertising and
promoting the Company, and administrative functions. The
Company intends to provide long distance service primarily to
small and medium-sized businesses and residential customers
throughout the United States. The Company's long distance
service offerings include outbound
service, inbound toll-free 800 service, dedicated private line
services for data, wireless T1 service and website development
and hosting.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates,
among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company's losses
from operations through June 30, 1998 and lack of operational
history, among other matters, raise substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. The Company intends to fund
operations through debt and equity financing arrangements (see Note
7) which management believes will be sufficient to fund its capital
expenditures, working capital requirements and other cash
requirements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1999.
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 reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements,
as well as the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 ("SFAS 107"), "Disclosures
About Fair Value of Financial Instruments." SFAS 107 requires
disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments
when it is practicable to estimate that value. The carrying
amount of the Company's cash, receivables, trade payables, accrued
expenses and note payable to stockholder approximates their
estimated fair values due to the short-term maturities
of those financial instruments.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
PRINCIPLES, CONTINUED
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is a start up company subject to the substantial
business risks and uncertainties inherent to such an entity,
including the potential risk of business failure.
Year 2000
The Year 2000 issue relates to limitations in computer systems
and applications that may prevent proper recognition of the Year
2000. The potential effect of the Year 2000 issue on the Company
and its business partners will not be fully determinable until
the Year 2000 and thereafter. If Year 2000 modifications are
not properly completed either by the Company or entities with which
the Company conducts business, the Company's revenues and financial
condition could be adversely impacted.
Dependent on Key Customers
The Company is not dependent on any single customer for a
significant portion of its annual sales. The Company's customer
base changes on a continuous basis as new customers are added or
removed.
Major Suppliers
The Company does not own its own long distance network, and
pursuant to the Company's contract with MCI/WorldCom, the Company
currently depends primarily upon MCI/WorldCom to provide for the
transmission of phone calls by its customers and to provide the
call detail records upon which the Company bases its customers
billings. Under the terms of the three-year contract entered
into with MCI/WorldCom on August 10, 1998, the Company is
obligated to a minimum monthly revenue commitment of $10,000
commencing March 1999. The contract expires on September 30, 2001.
Pursuant to the terms of the contract with MCI/WorldCom, the
Company must pay liquidated damages in an amount equal to the
aggregate minimum revenue requirement for the
remaining term of the contract if the Company terminates the
contract prior to the expiration date. Although the Company
believes that its relationship with MCI/WorldCom are strong and
should remain so with continued contract compliance, the
termination of the Company's contract with MCI/WorldCom, the loss of
telecommunications services provided by MCI/WorldCom, or a
reduction in the quality of service the Company receives from
MCI/WorldCom could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
results of operations. In addition, the accurate and prompt billing
of the Company's customers is dependent upon the timeliness
and accuracy of call detail records provided to the Company
by MCI/WorldCom.
Computer Equipment
Computer equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed
using the straight-line method over the useful life of 3 years.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
PRINCIPLES, CONTINUED
Betterments, renewals, and extraordinary repairs that extend the
lives of the assets are capitalized; other repairs and
maintenance charges are expensed as incurred. The cost and related
accumulated depreciation applicable to assets retired are removed from
the accounts, and the gain or loss on disposition is recognized in
current operations.
During 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121 ("SFAS 121"), "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of,"
which requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 121, the Company regularly
reviews long-lived assets and intangible assets for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Based on
its analysis, the Company believes that no impairment of the carrying
value of its long-lived assets existed at June 30, 1998.
Stock-Based Compensation
During 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," which defines a fair value based method of
accounting for stock-based compensation. However, SFAS 123 allows
an entity to continue to measure compensation cost related
to stock and stock options issued to employees using the intrinsic
method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25 ("APB 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Entities
electing to remain with the accounting method of APB 25 must make pro
forma disclosures of net income (loss), as if the fair value method of
accounting defined in SFAS 123 had been applied. The Company has
elected to account for its stock-based compensation to employees
under APB 25.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue during the month in which services
or products are delivered, as follows:
The Company's long distance telecommunications service revenues
are generated when customers make long distance telephone calls from
their business or residential telephones or by using any of the
Company's telephone calling cards. Proceeds from prepaid
telephone calling cards are recorded as deferred revenues when the
cash is received, and recognized as revenue as the telephone service is
utilized. The reserve for deferred revenues, if any, is carried
on the balance sheet as an accrued liability.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
PRINCIPLES, CONTINUED
Earnings Per Share
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), "Earnings Per Share."
Under SFAS 128, basic earnings per share is computed by
dividing income available to common shareholders by the
weighted-average number of common shares
assumed to be outstanding during the period of computation.
Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per
share except that the denominator is increased to include the
number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding
if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional
common shares were dilutive. Pro forma per share data has been computed
using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period assuming the Company was a C corporation since
inception. Because the Company has incurred net losses, basic
and diluted loss per share are the same as additional potential
common shares would be anti-dilutive.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109"), "Accounting
for Income Taxes." Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax
assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not
be recovered.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130 ("SFAS 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive Income."
SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of
general-purpose financial statements as is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company does not
expect that SFAS 130 will have a material effect on its financial
statements.
In June 1997, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" was issued. SFAS 131 will
change the way public companies report information about segments
of their business in their annual financial statements and requires
them to report selected segment information in their quarterly
reports issued to shareholders. It also requires entity-wide
disclosures about the products and services an entity provides,
the material countries in which it holds assets and reports revenues
and its major customers. SFAS 131 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. As the Company is currently
in the development stage, the Company does not expect that SFAS 131
will have a near-term material effect on its financial
statements.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
PRINCIPLES, CONTINUED
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133 establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an
entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities
on the balance sheet at their fair value. This statement is
effective for financial statements for all fiscal quarters
of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The
Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to
have a material impact on its results
of operations, financial position or cash flows as it currently
does not engage in any derivative or hedging activities.
In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants issued Statement of Position No. 98-5 ("SOP 98-5"),
"Reporting the Costs of Start-Up Activities." SOP 98-5 requires
that all non-governmental entities expense the costs of start-up
activities, including organization costs as those costs are
incurred. SOP 98-5 is effective for financial statements for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. The Company does not
expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on
its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
NOTE 2 - CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE TO STOCKHOLDER
Convertible note payable to stockholder represents monies
borrowed from a stockholder for working capital purposes.
The note payable accrues interest at 12.50% and is payable
in two installments of $40,000 plus interest due on November 15, 1998
and May 15, 1999. The note is convertible into 40,000 shares of
restricted common stock at $2.00 per share. Subsequent to the
Merger (see Note 7), the stockholder exercised the conversion feature.
NOTE 3 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Stock Options
Under the terms of employment agreements with its CEO and Vice
President, the Company issued options to purchase 300,000 shares
of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of 50% of the
fair market value at the date the option was granted (estimated by the
Company to be $0.475 at January 5, 1998). The options vested
100% on the date of grant and are exercisable through January 5, 2003
(remaining contractual life at June 30, 1998 is 4 1/2 years).

SFAS 123 Pro Forma Information
Pro forma information regarding net income (loss) is required by
SFAS 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted
for its employee stock options under the fair value method of
SFAS 123. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date
of grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the
following assumptions for the period ended June 30, 1998: risk
free interest rate of 5.52%; dividend yield of 0%; expected life of
the options of 1 year; and volatility factor of the expected market
price of the Company's common stock of 135%.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value
of the options is amortized to expense over the option vesting
period. Adjustments are made for options forfeited prior to vesting.
The effect on compensation expense and net loss had compensation cost
for the Company's stock option issuances been determined based on
fair value on the date of grant consistent with the provisions of
SFAS 123 is as follows:

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to
deferred taxes at June 30, 1998 are as follows:
Deferred tax asset:
Net operating loss carryforward $ 146,000
Other, net 6,000
Total gross deferred tax asset 152,000
Less valuation allowance (152,000)
Net deferred tax asset $ -
The valuation allowance increased by approximately $152,000
during the year ended June 30, 1998. No current provision
for income taxes for the periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997
is required, except for minimum state taxes, since the
Company incurred taxable losses during such years.
The provision for income taxes for fiscal 1998 was $800 and
differs from the amount computed by applying the U.S.
Federal income tax rate of 34% to loss before income
taxes as a result of the following:
Computed tax benefit at federal statutory rate $(154,000)
State income tax benefit, net of federal effect (27,000)
Increase in valuation allowance 152,000
Non-deductible compensation expenses for
options granted to employees 28,000
Other, net 1,800
$ 800
As of June 30, 1998, the Company had net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $379,000 and $190,000 for federal
and state income tax reporting purposes, which expire in 2013 and
2003, respectively.

Rent expense was $22,115 and $0 for the periods ended June 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively.
Employment Agreements
On January 5, 1998, the Company entered into five-year employment
agreements with its CEO and majority stockholder and its Vice
President. Under the terms of the agreements, the CEO and the
Vice President will receive an annual salary and options to purchase
Company common stock (see Note 3). In addition, the Company
retains an option to extend each employee's employment and renew the
agreement annually for up to ten additional years. Subsequent to
year-end, these agreements were modified to one-year at-will
employment agreements.
Contracts and Agreements
On June 17, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with The
Michelson Group, Inc. ("Michelson"), whereby Michelson will
perform corporate development services such as, but not limited to,
selecting key employees, attracting capital investors, providing
advice on stock option plans and maintaining an ongoing stock
market support system. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company
will pay Michelson a monthly fee of $6,500. In addition, the Company
agrees to issue Michelson warrants to purchase that number of shares of
common stock of the Company which would, upon exercise, result in
Michelson holding 9.9% of the outstanding shares of the Company
(estimated to be a maximum of 1,416,042 shares) upon the
completion of a proposed bridge financing. The agreement is
effective through June 2000.
Subsequent to the Merger (see Note 7), Michelson exercised
warrants to purchase 1,135,000 shares of GTC stock at an exercise
price of $.01 per share. The exercise price reflected the Company's
estimate of fair market value at the date of grant and therefore no
amount was recognized as expense.

NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Merger
Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated August
31, 1998, the Company completed a merger with and into Bobernco, Inc.
(the "Merger"). Under the terms of the tax-free reorganization
and merger, all of the Company's common stock was converted to
8,986,950 shares of Bobernco common stock and, as a result, the
separate corporate existence of the Company ceased and Bobernco
continued as the surviving corporation. Thus, all additional
subsequent events are disclosed in Bobernco's separate audited
financial statements. The directors and officers of the Company
immediately prior to the merger became the directors and officers
of Bobernco, which subsequently changed its corporate name
to GTC Telecom Corp. ("GTC"). However, if the merger had
occurred at the beginning of the year, the pro forma financial
statements as of June 30, 1998 would be as follows:
Net sales $ 497,312
Cost of sales $ 447,312
Net loss $(452,739)
Basic and dilutive loss per share $ (0.04)
Basic and dilutive weighted average
common shares outstanding 10,311,610
Stock Issuances
On July 21, 1998, the Company issued a confidential private
placement memorandum offering of 500,000 shares of common stock
at $1.00 per share. After the Merger, this offering was amended
to become an offering of GTC. Per an amendment dated January 29,
1999 the maximum offering was increased to 1,500,000 shares.
GTC was able to raise approximately $1,330,000, net of
issuance costs paid for brokers and finder's fees, from
the offering.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Effective August 31, 1998, GenTel Communications ("GenTel")
completed a merger with and into Bobernco, Inc. ("Bobernco").
Under the terms of the tax-free reorganization and merger, all of
the Company's common stock was converted to 8,986,950 shares of
Bobernco common stock and, as a result, the separate corporate
existence of the Company ceased and Bobernco continued as the
surviving corporation. The directors and officers of the Company
immediately prior to the merger became the directors and officers of
Bobernco, which subsequently changed its name to GTC Telecom Corp.
("GTC").
The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet has been
prepared as if the merger had occurred at June 30, 1998. The
unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations was prepared as
if the merger were consummated on July 1, 1997. GTC
believes no adjustments are necessary to present fairly the
unaudited pro forma combined financial statements as the transaction
was, in effect, a recapitalization of GenTel with an inactive
corporation to allow GenTel additional access to capital markets in
the future. These financial statements are not necessarily
indicative of what actual results would have been had the
transaction occurred on July 1, 1997, nor do they purport to
indicate the future results of GTC. The unaudited pro forma
combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with
GenTel's audited financial statements and accompanying notes and the
audited financial statements of Bobernco and related notes appearing
elsewhere.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors March 22, 1999
Bobernco, Inc.
Costa Mesa, California
I have audited the accompanying Balance Sheets of Bobernco, Inc.,(A
Development Stage Company), as of June 30, 1998, December 31, 1997, and
December 31, 1996, and the related statements of operations, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for period January 1, 1998, to June 30, 1998, and the
two years ended December 31, 1997, and December 31, 1996. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on my audit.
I conducted my audit 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. I believe that my audit provides a
reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Bobernco, Inc., (A
Development Stage Company), as of June 30, 1998, December 31, 1997, and
December 31, 1996, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the
period January 1, 1998, to June 30, 1998, and the two years ended December
31, 1997, and December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note #3 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from
operations and has no established source of revenue. This raises substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan
in regard to these matters are also described in Note #3. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.

dividends. No dividends have been paid since inception.
4. Organization costs of $ 240.00 are being amortized over a 60 month period
commencing may 17, 1994, to May 16, 1999.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted
accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the
realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of
business. However, the Company has no current source of revenue. Without

continue as a going concern. It is management's plan to seek additional
capital through a merger with an existing operating company.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
MARCH 31, 1999
1. MANAGEMENT'S REPRESENTATION:
The management of GTC Telecom Corp. (the "Company" or "GTC")
without audit has prepared the financial statements included
herein. Certain information and note disclosures normally
included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. In
the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments
considered necessary for fair presentation of the financial
statements have been included and were of a normal recurring
nature, and the accompanying financial statements present fairly
the financial position as of March 31, 1999, the results of
operations for the three months and nine months ended March 31,
1999, and cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 1999.
The results of operations for the three months and nine months
ended March 31, 1998 and cash flows for the nine months ended
March 31, 1998 are for GenTel Communications ("GenTel"),
the predecessor to GTC (see Note 4).
It is suggested that these financial statements be read in
conjunction with the GenTel audited financial statements and
notes for the period from May 29, 1997 (date of inception)
through June 30, 1998, and the Bobernco, Inc. ("Bobernco")
audited financial statements and notes for the period ended June
30, 1998, included in this Form 10-SB. The interim results are
not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.
2. DEVELOPMENT STAGE:
Prior to June 30, 1998, in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 ("SFAS 7"), "Accounting and
Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises," the Company was
considered a development stage enterprise. Subsequent to June
30, 1998, the Company began deriving revenue from its planned
principal operations. Therefore, all references to SFAS 7 have
been removed.
3. OTHER ASSETS:
The Company capitalizes the costs associated with the development of
its website and carrier certification. Other assets are amortized
using the straight-line method over the assets' estimated useful lives
ranging from 2 to 3 years.
4. PROFORMA:
Pursuant to an Agreement and plan of Reorganization dated August 31, 1998,
GenTel completed a merger with and into Bobernco, Inc. (the "Merger").
Under the terms of the tax-free reorganization and merger, all of the
Company's common stock was converted to 8,986,950 shares of Bobernco
common stock and, as a result, the separate corporate existence of GenTel
ceased and Bobernco continued as the surviving corporation. Thus, all
additional subsequent events are disclosed in Bobernco's separate audited
financial statements. Bobernco subsequently changed its name to GTC.
However, if the merger had occurred at the beginning of the year July 1,
1997, the pro forma financial statements for the Nine months ended
March 31, 1999 and March 31, 1998 are as follows:
March 31, March 31,
1999 1998
Net sales $ 222,535 $ 497,312
Cost of sales $ 85,665 $ 447,312
Net loss $(1,697,266) $ (179,037)
Basic and dilutive loss per share $ (0.14) $ (0.02)
Basic and dilutive weighted average
common shares outstanding 12,234,296 10,219,080
5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
On April 21, 1999, the Company initiated a private placement offering of
2,000,000 shares of the Company's restricted (as that term is defined
by Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933) Common Stock at a price of $3.00

against capital raised.
