BRAVERMAN & COMPANY
Certified Public Accountants
To: The Board of Directors and Shareholders of InvestAmerica, Inc.
Park City, Utah
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of InvestAmerica, Inc., as
of June 30, 2000, and the related statements of income and cash flow for the
nine months then ended in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All information included
in these financial statements is the representation of the management of
InvestAmerica, Inc.
A review principally of inquires of Company personnel and analytical
procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope
than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,
the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the
financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express
such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made of the accompanying financial statements in order for them
to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting standards.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization - Balboa Investments, Inc. (Parent) was organized under the laws
of the State of Utah on October 20, 1983. The Company changed its domicile
from the State of Utah to the State of Nevada on December 18, 1986. This
change in domicile was accomplished by merging the Company into a Nevada
corporation created solely for this purpose. In connection with the change in
domicile, the Company changed its corporate name from Technology Research
Inc., to Balboa Investments, Inc. effective December 18, 1986.
On December 29, 1992, Balboa Investments, Inc. changed its name to Progressive
Polymerics International, Inc., (Parent) and acquired all of the issued and
outstanding common stock of Progressive Polymerics, Inc., (Subsidiary).
On April 17, 1997, the Company reverse-split its Common Stock twenty (20) old
shares for one (1) new share.
On April 17, 1997, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of InvestAmerica, Inc., thereby making it a wholly-owned
subsidiary.

NOTE 7 - PRIVATE PLACEMENT AND LONG-TERM DEBT
In order to further capitalize the Company, a Private Placement stock offering
was made, subsequent to December 31, 1999, in reliance upon an exemption from
registration requirements, pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended and Regulation D of the Act. The Company raised three million
($3,000,000) dollars through this Private Placement from four (4) individuals.
The terms of this Private Placement were as follows: Six hundred twenty-five
thousand (625,000) shares of common stock were issued at a twenty percent (20%)
discount to the Company's stock price at $6.00 per share, i.e., $4.80 per share
with one (1) warrant per share issued. The warrants have a one (1) year term
at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. Additionally, to further capitalize
the Company, the Company borrowed the sum of two million ($2,000,000) dollars
from private sources (one of whom is an affiliate of the Company), with the
interest payable at twelve percent (12%) per year. The note has a five (5)
year term, and is payable in five equal annual installments.
NOTE 8 - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company, through Optica Canada, entered into employment agreements with
three (3) individuals under which, among other things, each individual was
granted an option to acquire one million (1,000,000) shares of the Company's
common stock. The options have a five year term, an exercise price of $5.25
per share, and vest in monthly installments over two years.
The Company, through Optica Canada, under terms of employment agreements with
three (3) individuals, issued three hundred thousand (300,000) shares of the
Company's Common Stock as compensation.
The Company measures compensation costs for these plans using the intrinsic
value-based method of accounting as allowed in Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (FAS
123). Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized.
NOTE 9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Based on the number of shares of Common shares that are issuable upon conversion
of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company does not have sufficient number of
authorized Common shares available. The Board of Directors of the Company has
approved an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to increase
the number of authorized Common shares from 50,000,000 shares to 200,000,000
shares. Such an amendment is subject to approval by the shareholder's of the
Company. Management has indicated the Company will call a Special Meeting of
Shareholders in the near future to consider and vote upon the amendment. The
right of conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock cannot be exercised by all
current preferred shareholders until such time as the Company increases its
authorized common shares.
11
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF PLAN OF OPERATIONS
From April 1997, when the Company approved a Plan of Reorganization, through
March 15, 2000, when the Company closed the Optica Acquisition, the Company
has had no material operations and no revenue from operations. During said
period, the Company's sole purpose was to consummate a merger or acquisition
opportunity with a private entity.
On July 7, 2000, the Company signed an agreement to acquire through a newly
formed wholly-owned subsidiary all to the issued and outstanding shares of
Zed Data Systems Corp., A British Columbia corporation ("Zed"), for a cash
payment of $5,000,000 and the issue of shares of the subsidiary exchangeable
for 15,000,000 common shares of the Company. Douglas Smith, President of the
Company, is the sole owner and President of Zed. Zed is a value added reseller
of data communications equipment. It sells products and services for equipment
supplied by several manufacturers, including Cisco Systems and Fore Systems.
Going Concern - The Company experienced operating losses for the period
ended June 30, 2000. The financial statements have been prepared assuming
the Company will continue to operate as a going concern which contemplates
the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal
course of business. No adjustment has been made to the recorded amount of
assets or the recorded amount or classification of liabilities which would be
required if the Company were unable to continue its operations.
Unclassified Balance Sheet - In accordance with the provisions of SFAS
No. 53, the Company has elected to present an unclassified balance sheet.
Loss Per Share - The Company adopted the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share"
that established standards for the computation, presentation and disclosure
of earnings per share ("EPS"), replacing the presentation of Primary EPS
with a presentation of Basic EPS. It also requires dual presentation of Basic
EPS and Diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for entities
With complex capital structures. The Company did not present Diluted EPS
since it has a simple capital structure.
Results of Operations
As a result of the Optica Acquisition, the principal operations of the
Company are being conducted through Optica and its subsidiaries. During the
Fiscal year ended September 30, 1999 and the nine month period ended June
30, 2000, the Company did not generate any material revenues. The Company
does not expect to generate any revenues until its "Optica" business plan
becomes operational, which is not anticipated to occur within the next twelve
months.
The Company had a $1,4,28,885 loss from operations for the first nine months of
this fiscal year. This compares to a loss of $7,762,732 for the same period
last year. The decrease in loss was due to a $7,372,894 judgement against the
company for the same period last year. (See "Financial Note - 4"). The Company
had a net loss of $170,116 for the Third Quarter, ending June 30, 2000. This
compares to a loss of $ $131,647 for the same period last year. This increase
in net loss came from increased operating expenses. This represented a net
loss of $0.01 per common share for the Third Quarter ended June 30, 2000 and
a net loss of $0.07 per common share for the first nine months of this fiscal
year.
12
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary sources of liquidity have been the sale of shares of
common stock from shareholders. An original stock offering was made in
order to further capitalize the Company, a Private Placement stock offering
was made, subsequent to December 31, 1999, in reliance upon an exemption from
registration requirements, pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended and Regulation D of the Act. The Company raised three million
($3,000,000) dollars through this Private Placement from four (4) individuals.
The terms of this Private Placement were as follows: Six hundred twenty-five
thousand (625,000) shares of common stock were issued at a twenty percent (20%)
discount to the Company's stock price at $6.00 per share, i.e., $4.80 per share
with one (1) warrant per share issued. The warrants have a one (1) year term at
an exercise price of $3.00 per share. Additionally, to further capitalize the
Company, the Company borrowed the sum of two million ($2,000,000) dollars from
private sources (one of whom is an affiliate of the Company), with the interest
payable at twelve percent (12%) per year. The note has a five (5) year term,
and is payable in five equal annual installments.
