UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB.
Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the nine months ended January 31, 2001 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending April 30,
2001.
The balance sheet at April 30, 2000 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. For further information, refer to the audited financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Form 10-KSB filed by the
Company for the year ended April 30, 2000.
NOTE B--FORMATION AND OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY
Group Long Distance, Inc. (the "Company") is a non-facilities-based
reseller of long distance telecommunications services to small and medium-sized
commercial customers and residential subscribers. The Company utilizes special
network service contracts through major national long-distance
telecommunications carriers to provide its customers with products and services
which include basic "1 plus" and "800" long distance services. The Company was
incorporated under the laws of Florida in September 1995 by ITC Integrated
System, Inc. ("ITC"), an unaffiliated third party, under the name Second ITC
Corporation ("Second ITC") as the successor to the business of Group Long
Distance, Inc. ("GLD"), which was incorporated under the laws of Florida in July
1990. In November 1995, GLD was merged into Second ITC and Second ITC
simultaneously changed its name to Group Long Distance, Inc. Unless otherwise
indicated, all references to the Company include GLD, the Company's predecessor,
and the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries. These subsidiaries include Eastern
Telecommunications Incorporated ("ETI"), Adventures-in-Telecom ("AIT") and Gulf
Communications Services, Inc ("GULF").
As a non-facilities based reseller of long distance telecommunications
services, the Company utilizes service contracts to provide its customers with
switched services to long distance telecommunications networks. The Company does
not own or operate any primary transmission facilities. All of the Company's
products and services are currently provided for by long distance carriers and
regional and local telephone companies. The Company entered into agreements with
TALK.com ("TALK"), formerly Tel-Save, Inc., a nationwide provider of
telecommunications services to purchase long distance telephone service at
discounted bulk rates. The Company then resells these discounted services to
customers, at rates lower than rates the Company's customers are able to obtain
for themselves due to small call volume. The Company then provisions the
customer onto the carriers' networks, which provide the actual transmission
service. The Company does not own or lease any telephone equipment at the
customer's premises, nor does it provide telephone cabling or installation
services. The customer still maintains its own existing telephone numbers, and
all changes in service are done by the local or interexchange carriers. The
customers incur no expense in making the decision to switch to the service of
the Company.
NOTE C-- SALE OF CUSTOMER BASE
The Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with a wholly
owned subsidiary of Quentra Networks, Inc ("Quentra")(formerly Coyote Network
Systems, Inc.) on April 30, 2000. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the
Company sold to a wholly owned subsidiary of Quentra, a customer base which
included certain of the Company's customers under a series of related sites. The
purchase price for this transaction was $1 million, payable $50,000 in cash and
a note of $950,000 due at April 30, 2002 at an annual interest rate of 8%.
Interest is payable monthly. The Note is secured by the assets sold. In
addition, the Company entered into a Service Agreement with the wholly owned
subsidiary of Quentra.
The Company had originally acquired this customer base from a third
party in 1996 and fully amortized the cost over time, for book purposes. Upon
sale of this customer base on April 30, 2000, the Company realized a gain for
book purposes of the full consideration of the sale. The Company realized the
gain because evidence existed to indicate that a transaction took place, the
closing occurred, there were no contingencies in the contact, there was
persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery occurred, the price was set and
collectability was reasonably assured.

GROUP LONG DISTANCE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
In the October 31, 2000 Form 10-QSB the Company disclosed that there
existed the possibility that Quentra or its subsidiary would be unable to meet
its obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement, but that no account had been
taken of this circumstance in the quarter ended October 31, 2000 and no
adjustment made in the books of the Company. The Company also disclosed that it
may be required to take a charge against its income in its third fiscal quarter
and or in subsequent quarters, due to the fact that management was at that time
unable to determine the extent of any possible charge as it did not have enough
information available to determine whether the asset was impaired, and that
management intended to closely monitor the situation.
Quentra filed for bankruptcy protection on December 15, 2000. Prior to
filing the October 31, 2000 Form 10-QSB on December 20, 2000, the Company was
advised of the bankruptcy filing and the Company disclosed this fact as a
subsequent event note to the Form 10-QSB.
For the quarter ended January 31, 2001, based on currently available
information on Quentra's financial status as regards the assets and liabilities
in bankruptcy, the Company took a charge of $650,000 which resulted in this
asset being reflected in the Balance Sheet at $300,000, which in management's
opinion represents its current net realizable value at January 31, 2001.
The Company intends to enforce all of its rights and remedies against
Quentra in the bankruptcy proceedings.
NOTE D-- TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
On May 1, 2000, the Company executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger
with Quentra. The Agreement and Plan of Merger contemplated a merger between a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Quentra and the Company. On July 31, 2000, a First
Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger was executed. As a result of the
transactions, among other things, Quentra would have acquired all of the assets
and business of the Company, and the Company's shareholders would have received
a number of shares of Quentra Common Stock determined pursuant to a formula.
Provided the merger closed, it was anticipated that the Company's shareholders
would have received not less than 562,500 shares of Quentra Common Stock, nor
more than 1,218,750 shares of Quentra Common Stock. The formula was based on the
price of the Quentra Common Stock during each of the five trading days
immediately prior to closing. If the price of the Quentra Common Stock closed at
less than $4 per share during each of the five trading days immediately prior to
closing, then either party, in its discretion, may have terminated the Agreement
and Plan of Merger.
On December 14, 2000, the Company terminated the Agreement and Plan of
Merger with Quentra for violation of the terms contained therein. On December
15, 2000, Quentra announced that it had filed for bankruptcy protection.
NOTE E - SUBSEQUENT EVENT - ACQUISITION OF HOMEACCESS MICROWEB, INC.
On February 20, 2001, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase
Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of HomeAccess
MicroWeb, Inc. ("HomeAccess"), a subsidiary of Quentra.
The purchase price would be payable by the delivery at closing of $100,000 in
cash and 200,000 shares of a new Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A
Preferred Stock would have a liquidation preference of $20 per share, would not
pay any dividends or have any voting rights, and would be converted into shares
of Group Long Distance common stock on the basis of one share of Series A
Preferred Stock for ten shares of common stock.
Pursuant to an order of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central
District of California entered on March 8, 2001, if Group Long Distance acquires
a controlling interest in HA Technology, Inc. ("HAT"), then Group Long Distance
will also deliver to Quentra warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of Group Long
Distance common stock at an exercise price of $4.50 per share. The warrants will
be exercisable for a period of six months commencing twelve months after the
closing of the acquisition of a controlling interest in HAT and terminating
eighteen months after the date of that closing. HAT holds a license to sell and
distribute HomeAccess technology in certain geographical areas.
The closing of the acquisition of HomeAccess is subject to a number of
conditions, including without limitation, the completion of due diligence, the
receipt of all requisite regulatory approvals, the receipt of an investment
banking opinion and Group Long Distance Board of Directors approval, and the
preparation of definitive closing documents.
As of March 21, 2001, the Company has loaned $400,000 to HomeAccess.
Such loan is secured by a lien on all of the assets of HomeAccess and a non
recourse guarantee and pledge of all the outstanding securities of HomeAccess.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of significant factors affecting the
Company's operating results and liquidity and capital resources should be read
in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and related notes.
This Report on Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements. Additional
written and oral forward-looking statements may be made by the Company from time
to time in Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings and otherwise. The
Company cautions readers that results predicted by forward-looking statements,
including, without limitation, those relating to the Company's future business
prospects, revenues, working capital, liquidity, capital needs, interest costs,
and income are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking
statements. Some of these risks and factors are identified herein and from time
to time in the Company's filings with the SEC. Readers are cautioned that
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that the
actual results may differ materially from those suggested or projected in
forward-looking statements. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the
forward looking statements will occur, or that the results will not vary
significantly from those described in the forward-looking statements.
Overview
The Company is a long distance telecommunications provider. The
Company's revenues are currently solely derived from calls routed through TALK.
Refer to "Note B - Formation and Operation of the Company."
The Company is no longer conducting and has no plans to conduct any
marketing campaigns to attract new customers, since the Company has determined
that it is currently unable to both procure new customers, and achieve positive
earnings after amortization of acquisition costs for these new customers. The
Company's operating results therefore continue to be affected by customer
attrition rates. Refer to "Note E - Subsequent Event - Acquisition of HomeAccess
Microweb, Inc."
The Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with a wholly
owned subsidiary of Quentra on April 30, 2000. Refer to "Note C - Sale of
Customer Base."

Comparison of Nine months ended January 31, 2001 to Nine months ended January
31, 2000 and of Three months ended January 31, 2001 to Three months ended
January 31, 2000.
Sales. The Company's sales were $3,341,584 for the nine months ended January
31,2001, compared to $11,793,895 for the nine months ended January 31,2000, a
decrease of $8,452,311 or 72%. The Company's sales were $900,340 for the three
months ended January 31, 2001, compared to $5,367,277 for the three months ended
January 31, 2000, a decrease of $4,466,937 or 83%. Sales for the nine months and
three months ended January 31, 2000 included deferred revenue being recognized
as income of $3,012,244 as a result of the TALK Agreement. Refer to Form 10-KSB
for year ended April 30, 2000. The Company ceased all marketing activities in
the third quarter of fiscal year 1998 and is not currently marketing its
products and services. In addition, the Company entered into the sale of a
customer base. Refer to "Note C - Sale of Customer Base." The Company's revenues
are therefore likely to continue to decline. The Company anticipates this trend
to continue through the rest of the fiscal year ending April 30, 2001, and
thereafter. During the nine months ended January 31, 2000 the Company had
revenues from this customer base of approximately $1.4 million and approximately
$335,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2000. The remaining sales
decrease is due to normal attrition of the customer base.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales were $1,826,517 for the nine months ended January
31, 2001, compared to $4,257,870 for the nine months ended January 31,2000, a
decrease of $2,431,353 or 57%. Cost of sales were $522,333 for the three months
ended January 31, 2001, compared to $1,023,465 for the three months ended
January 31, 2000, a decrease of $501,132 or 49%. As a percentage of sales, cost
of sales was 55% and 36% for the nine months ended January 31, 2001 and January
31, 2000, respectively. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales was 58% and 19%
for the three months ended January 31, 2001 and January 31,2000, respectively.
The decrease in cost of sales between comparative periods was due to the
decrease in revenues as a result of customer attrition. The decrease in cost of
sales as a percentage of sales is primarily as a result of the effect of the
recognition of the deferred revenue in the nine and three months ended January
31, 2000 without a corresponding charge. As a percentage of sales after
adjusting for deferred revenues, cost of sales was approximately 55% and 48% for
the nine months ended January 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. As a percentage
of sales after adjusting for deferred revenues, cost of sales was approximately
49% and 43% for the three months ended January 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Cost of sales are expected to further decline for the fiscal year ended April
30, 2001, and thereafter. The increase in the cost of sales as a percentage of
revenues for both the nine months and three months ended January 31, 2001 was
due to a price increase from the carrier of approximately 15%. The Company has
disputed the correctness of the price increase and is in discussions with its
carrier. There however is no assurance that the matter will be resolved in the
Company's favor. In addition, the Company entered into the sale of a customer
base. Refer to "Note C - Sale of Customer Base." During the nine months ended
January 31, 2000 the Company had cost of sales from this customer base of
approximately $913,000 and approximately $241,000 for the three months ended
January 31, 2000.
Gross profit. Gross profit was $1,515,067 for the nine months ended January
31,2001 compared to $7,536,025 for the nine months ended January 31,2000, a
decrease of $6,020,958 or 80%. Gross profit was $378,007 for the three months
ended January 31, 2001 compared to $4,343,812 for the three months ended January
31, 2000, a decrease of $3,965,805 or 91%. As a percentage of sales, gross
profit was 45% and 64% for the nine months ended January 31, 2001 and January
31, 2000, respectively. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 42% and 81%
for the three months ended January 31,2001 and January 31,2000, respectively.
Gross Profit, after adjusting for the effect of the recognition of the deferred
revenues of $3,012,244 was $ 4,523,781 for the nine months ended January 31,
2000, a decrease compared to the nine months ended January 31, 2001 of
$3,008,714 or 66%. As a percentage of sales after adjusting for deferred
revenues, gross margin was approximately 45% and 52% for the nine months ended
January 31,2001 and 2000, respectively. Gross Profit, after adjusting for the
effect of the recognition of the deferred revenues of $3,012,244 was $1,331,568
for the three months ended January 31, 2000, a decrease compared to the three
months ended January 31, 2001 of $953,561 or 72%. As a percentage of sales after
adjusting for deferred revenues, gross margin was approximately 42% and 56% for
the three months ended January 31,2001 and 2000, respectively. The decrease in
gross margin, after adjusting for deferred revenue, between comparative periods
was due to the decrease in revenues as a result of customer attrition and the
sale of a customer base. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of
revenues for both the nine months and three months ended January 31, 2001 was
due to a price increase from the carrier of approximately 15%. The Company has
disputed the correctness of the price increase and is in discussions with its
carrier. There however is no assurance that the matter will be resolved in the
Company's favor.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative
expenses ("SG&A") were $924,700 for the nine months ended January 31,2001
compared to $1,481,622 for the nine months ended January 31,2000, a decrease of
$556,922 or 38%. SG&A were $332,127 for the three months ended January 31, 2001
compared to $340,343 for the three months ended January 31, 2000, a decrease of
$8,216 or 2%. This decrease in SG&A was due primarily to a reduction in bad debt
expense as a result of a reduction in sales as compared to the nine months ended
January 31,2000. SG&A expenses for the nine months ended January 31, 2000
included two Severance Packages totaling $310,000 for two former executives of
the Company. As a percentage of sales, SG&A for the nine months ended January
31,2001 and 2000 was approximately 28% and 13%, respectively. As a percentage of
sales, SG&A for the three months ended January 31,2001 and 2000 was
approximately 37% and 6%, respectively. After adjusting for the deferred
revenue, as a percentage of sales, SG&A were approximately 28% and 17% for the
nine months ended January 31,2001 and 2000 and approximately 37% and 14% for the
three months ended January 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. SG&A expense is
expected to remain constant, being primarily of a fixed nature for the remainder
of the fiscal year ending April 30, 2001.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense was
$3,700 for the nine months ended January 31,2001 compared to $14,168 for the
nine months ended January 31,2000, a decrease of $10,468 or 74%. Depreciation
and amortization expense was $1,200 for the three months ended January 31, 2001
compared to $1,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2000, an increase of
$200 or 20%. As a percentage of sales, depreciation and amortization expense was
less than 1% for the nine months and three months ended January 31,2001 and
January 31,2000, respectively.
Write Down of Note Receivable. For the nine months and three months ended
January 31, 2001 the $650,000 expense represented a charge against income to
reduce the carrying value of the Note Receivable on the Balance Sheet to
$300,000, which in management's opinion represents its current net realizable
value at January 31, 2001. Refer to "Note C - Sale of Customer Base."
Interest Income, Net. Interest income (net) for the nine months ended January
31, 2001 was $153,333 compared to $31,721 for the nine months ended January 31,
2000. Interest income (net) for the three months ended January 31, 2001 was
$55,872 compared to $16,835 for the three months ended January 31, 2000. The
interest income (net) for the nine months and three months ended January 31,
2001 and January 31,2000 was interest earned as a result of a positive cash
balance. Interest earned for the nine and three months ended January 31, 2001
includes interest earned on the Note Receivable on the sale of the customer
base. Refer to "Note C - Sale of Customer Base."
Income Taxes. Income tax expense of $43,000 was provided for the nine months
ended January 31,2001 compared to $2,125,000 for the nine months ended January
31,2000. The decrease in the income tax expense for the nine months ended
January 31, 2001 was due to the decrease in revenues as a result of customer
attrition and the sale of a customer base, and the write down of the Note
Receivable.
Net Income. The Company had a net income of $58,020 or income of $0.02 per
share, for the nine months ended January 31,2001, as compared to net income of
$3,946,956 or $1.13 per share, for the nine months ended January 31, 2000. The
Company had a net loss of $338,448, or net loss of $0.10 per share, for the
three months ended January 31, 2001, as compared to net income of $2,594,304, or
$0.74 per share, for the three months ended January 31, 2000. The decrease in
net income for the nine months and three months ended January 31, 2001 compared
to the previous periods was a direct result of lower sales through attrition and
the reversal of the deferred revenue, reduced gross margins and the write down
of the Note Receivable.
Earnings per Share. Basic shares were 3,500,402 for the nine months and three
month periods ended January 31, 2001 and January 31,1999, respectively. Included
in diluted shares are common stock equivalents relating to options of 123,605
and 0 for the nine months ended January 31, 2001 and January 31,2000,
respectively. Included in diluted shares are common stock equivalents relating
to options of 0 and 0 for the three months ended January 31, 2001 and January
31,2000, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary cash requirements had historically been to fund
the acquisition of customer bases and increased levels of accounts receivable,
which have required substantial working capital. The Company had historically
satisfied its working capital requirements principally through cash flow from
operations and borrowings from institutions and carriers. Currently the Company
has positive cash flow and cash resources to meet current levels of expenditure.
At January 31, 2001, the Company had a working capital surplus of
$1,811,610, as compared to a working capital surplus of $1,131,488 at April 30,
2000. The working capital surplus for the nine months ended January 31, 2001 was
largely due to cash on hand.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $176,542 for the nine
months ended January 31, 2001 as compared to net cash provided by operating
activities of $687,489 for the nine months ended January 31, 2000. The net cash
provided by operating activities for the nine months ended January 31, 2001 is
primarily attributable to net income from operating activities after taking into
account the decrease in the Note Receivable, offset by a decrease in income
taxes payable. The net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months
ended January 31, 2000 is primarily attributable to net income from operating
activities, a reversal of deferred revenue and offset by a decrease in volume
shortfall charge payable and income taxes payable.

the purchase of furniture and equipment for the nine months ended January 31,
2001and 2000, respectively.
