NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND DECEMBER 31, 2001

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements represent the consolidated
financial position of YP.Net, Inc. ("the Company" or "YP.Net") for the three
month periods ended December 31, 2002, and December 31, 2001, which includes
results of operations of the Company and Telco Billing, Inc. ("Telco"), its
wholly owned subsidiary, and statement of cash flows for the three periods ended
December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001. These statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim
financial information. 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 to these
unaudited financial statements necessary for a fair presentation of the results
for the interim period presented have been made.

2. Company Organization and Operations

YP.Net, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company," "we," "us," or "our"), is in
the business of providing Internet-based yellow page advertising space on or
through www.Yellow-Page.Net and www.YP.Net .

The Company's "yellow page" database lists approximately 18 million businesses
throughout the United States. Our website enables internet users to search
through these "yellow page" listings and is used by businesses and consumers
attempting to locate a business and/or service provider in response to a user's
specific search criteria.

As our primary source of revenue, we offer "preferred" listings to businesses
for a monthly fee (currently $17.95). The "preferred" listing provides a
business with a priority placement listing over non-paying listings and is
displayed in a bigger and bolder font at the beginning of, or in the first
section of the user's search results, thus featuring our paying customers more
prominently to user's of our website. In addition, our paying customers get a
Mini-Webpage(TM) which includes a 40-word description of their business, their
hours of operation and other useful information, a direct link to the paying
customers website, (if they have one and it is provided by the advertiser), map,
driving directions to the paying customers location and more. We market for
advertisers of our "preferred" listing service under the name "Yellow-Page.Net,
exclusively to businesses through a direct mail solicitation program. The
solicitation includes a promotional incentive (i.e. generally a $3.50 check)
which, if cashed by the business, automatically signs the business up for the
Preferred Listing service for an initial twelve month period with automatic
renewals thereafter. This easy subscription process provides a written
confirmation (i.e. the check) of the subscription by the newly subscribing
business, which is verified by an independent third party (i.e. the paying
customers depositing bank). To additionally insure the intention of sign-up, the
Company then mails a written confirmation card to the newly subscribing business
generally within 30 days from activation. The Company also provides a 120-day
cancellation period whereby the subscribing business may cancel and receive a
full refund of any amounts paid to the Company.

Each paying customer is billed monthly for that month's service, the vast
majority of such monthly billings appear on the subscribing business's local
phone bill. Management believes this ability to bill the paying customer through
the paying customers phone bill is a significant competitive advantage for the
Company as few independent (not owned by a telephone company) yellow page
companies are authorized to bill directly on the phone bill for services
rendered.

The Company uses Simple.Net, Inc. ("SN"), an internet service provider
beneficially owned by a director (DeVal Johnson) of the Company, to provide
internet dial-up and other services to its customers (See Footnote 9 to the
financial statements). SN charges the Company's customers $2.50 per month for
such internet access.

We were originally incorporated as a New Mexico company in 1969 and the Company
was re-incorporated in Nevada in 1996 as Renaissance Center, Inc. Our Articles
of Incorporation were restated in July 1997 and our name was changed to
Renaissance International Group, Ltd. Effective July 1998, we changed our name
to RIGL Corporation. In June 1999, we acquired Telco Billing, Inc. ("Telco") and
commenced our current operations through this entity which is a wholly-owned
subsidiary. In October 1999, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change
our corporate name to YP.Net, Inc. to better identify our company with our
business focus.

From August through December 1999, we abandoned all subsidiaries previously
involved in the multi-media software and medical billing and practice management
areas. With the acquisition of Telco, our business focus shifted to the Internet
yellow page services business and this business is currently our main source of
revenue. Telco is operated as our wholly owned subsidiary.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents: This includes all short-term highly liquid
-------------------------
investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have
original maturities of three months or less. At times cash deposits may
exceed government insured limits. At December 31, 2002, cash deposits
exceeded those insured limits by $650,268.

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include
---------------------------
the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Telco Billing,
Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.

Customer Acquisition Costs: These costs represent the direct response
--------------------------
marketing costs that are incurred as the primary method by which customers
subscribe to the Company's services. The Company purchases mailing lists
and sends advertising materials to prospective subscribers from those
lists. Customers subscribe to the services by positively responding to
those advertising materials which serve as the contract for the
subscription. The Company capitalizes and amortizes the costs of
direct-response advertising on a straight-line basis over eighteen months,
the estimated average period of retention for new customers. The Company
capitalized costs of $983,000 and $219,000 during the three months ended
December 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively. The Company amortized $483,000 and
$59,000 , respectively, of total capitalized costs during the three months
ended December 31, 2002 and 2001.

The Company also incurs sales and marketing costs that are not considered
direct-response advertising. These other costs are expensed when incurred.
These sales and marketing expenses were $149,381 and $37,612 for the three
months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively.

Revenue Recognition: The Company's revenue is generated by customer
-------------------
subscriptions of directory and advertising services. Revenue is billed and
recognized monthly for services subscribed in that specific month. The
Company utilizes outside billing companies to transmit billing data, much
of which is forwarded to Local Exchange Carriers ("LEC's") that provide
local telephone service. Monthly subscription fees are generally included
on the telephone bills of the customers. The Company recognizes revenue
based on net billings accepted by the LEC's. Due to the periods of time for
which adjustments may be reported by the LEC's and the billing companies,
the Company estimates and accrues for dilution and fees reported subsequent
to year-end for initial billings related to services provided for periods
within the fiscal year.

Revenue for billings to certain customers whom are billed directly by the
Company and not through the LEC's, is recognized based on estimated future
collections. The Company continuously reviews this estimate for
reasonableness based on its collection experience.

Income Taxes: The Company provides for income taxes based on the provisions
------------
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes, which, among other things, requires that recognition of
deferred income taxes be measured by the provisions of enacted tax laws in
effect at the date of financial statements.

Financial Instruments: Financial instruments consist primarily of cash,
---------------------
accounts receivable, and obligations under accounts payable, accrued
expenses and notes payable. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable
approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.
The Company has applied certain assumptions in estimating these fair
values. The use of different assumptions or methodologies may have a
material effect on the estimates of fair values.

Net Income Per Share: Net income per share is calculated using the weighted
--------------------
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. The
Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share.

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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

Significant estimates made in connection with the accompanying financial
statements include the estimate of dilution and fees associated with LEC
billings and the estimated reserve for doubtful accounts receivable.

Stock-Based Compensation: Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No.
------------------------
123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, ("SFAS 123") established
accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair-value based method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In accordance with SFAS
123, the Company has elected to continue

accounting for stock based compensation using the intrinsic value method
prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees."

4. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The Company provides billing information to third party billing companies
for the majority of its monthly billings. Billings submitted are "filtered"
(ie. Delete invalid phone numbers etc.) by these billing companies and the
LEC's. Net accepted billings are recognized as revenue and accounts
receivable. The billing companies remit payments to the Company on the
basis of cash ultimately received from the LEC's by those billing
companies. The billing companies and LEC's charge fees for their services
which are netted against the gross accounts receivable balance. The billing
companies also apply holdbacks to the remittances for potentially
uncollectible accounts. These dilution amounts will vary due to numerous
factors and the Company may not be certain as to the actual amounts of
dilution on any specific billing submittal until several months after that
submittal. The Company estimates the amount of these charges and holdbacks
based on historical experience and subsequent information received from the
billing companies. The Company also estimates uncollectible account
balances and provides an allowance for such estimates. The billing
companies retain certain holdbacks that may not be collected by the Company
for a period extending beyond one year. These balances have been classified
as long-term assets in the accompanying balance sheet.

The Company experiences significant dilution of its gross billings by the
billing companies. The Company negotiates collections with the billing
companies on the basis of the contracted terms and historical experience.
The Company's cash flow may be affected by holdbacks, fees, and other
matters which are determined by the LEC's and the billing companies.

5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The URL is recorded at its cost net of accumulated amortization. Management
believes that the Company's business is dependent on its ability to utilize
this URL given the recognition of the Yellow page term. Also, its current
-----------
customer base relies on the recognition of this term and URL as a basis for
maintaining the subscriptions to the Company's service. Management believes
that the current revenue and cash flow generated through use of
Yellow-page.net supports the carrying of the asset. The Company
---------------
periodically analyzes the carrying value of this asset to determine if
impairment has occurred. No such impairments were identified during the
year ended September 30, 2002 or the three months ended December 31, 2002.
The URL is amortized on an accelerated basis over the twenty-year term of
the licensing agreement. Amortization expense on the URL was $93,031 and
$107,500 for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001
respectively.

6. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

During the year ended September 30, 2002, the Company structured certain
transactions related to its merger with Telco that allowed the Company to
utilize net operating losses that were previously believed to be
unavailable or limited under the change of control rules of Internal
Revenue Code 382. The deferred income tax asset of $1,471,000 related to
these net-operating losses recorded at September 30, 2001, was fully offset
by a valuation allowance. That valuation allowance was eliminated and
recognized as a benefit in the year ended September 30, 2002. Due to these
changes, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $1,614,716 for the
year ended September 30, 2002. At September 30, 2002 the Company has
utilized all of its federal and state net operating losses.

Income taxes for three months ended December 31, is summarized as follows:

2002 2001
---- ----

Current Provision $ 687,344 $ 291,738
Deferred (Benefit) Provision 41,250 128,447
------------------------
Net income tax provision $ 728,594 $ 420,185
========================

At December 31, 2002, deferred income tax assets related to differences in
book and tax bases of accounts receivable, direct marketing costs and
intangible assets.

At December 31, 2002 deferred tax liabilities were comprised of differences
in book and tax bases of customer acquisition costs and property and
equipment respectively.

7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Series E Convertible Preferred Stock
------------------------------------

During the year ended September 30, 2002, the Company created a
new series of equity, the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company
authorized 200,000, $0.001 par value shares. The shares carry a $0.30 per
share liquidation preference and accrue dividends at the rate of 5% per
annum on the liquidation preference per share, payable quarterly from
legally available funds. If such funds are not available, dividends shall
continue to accumulate until they can be paid from legally available funds.
Holders of the preferred shares shall be entitled, after two years from
issuance, to convert them into common shares on a one-to-one basis together
with payment of $0.45 per converted share.

During the year ended September 30, 2002, pursuant to an existing
tender offer, holders of 131,840 shares of the Company's common stock
exchanged said shares for an equal number of the Series E Convertible
Preferred shares, at the then $0.085 market value of the

common stock. As of December 31, 2002, the liquidation preference value of
the outstanding Series E Convertible Preferred Stock was $39,552, and
dividends totaling $395 had been accrued associated with said shares.

Common Shares Received and Retired Under Legal Settlements-Treasury Stock
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

During the three months ended December 31, 2002, the
Company acquired 82,500 shares of its common stock in connection with a
settlement with a former consultant to the Company. The shares were issued as
consideration under the consulting agreement. The return of the shares was
recorded as a gain in the three-month period ended December 31, 2002. The gain
was determined at the value at which the shares were originally issued of
$115,979. At December 31, 2002, there were 3,941,000 shares of stock held in
treasury.

During January 2003, the Company acquired 582,500 shares of its common stock in
connection with a settlement with two former consultants to the Company. The
shares were issued as consideration under the consulting agreements. In
consideration for the settlement agreements, the Company paid the former
associates an aggregate of $135,000 and the parties granted mutual releases.

8. NET INCOME PER SHARE

Net income per share is calculated using the weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding during the three months ended
December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Preferred stock dividends are
subtracted from the net income to determine the amount available to common
shareholders. There were $395 and $-0- preferred stock dividends in the
three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Warrants to
purchase 500,000 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation
for the three months ended December 31, 2002. The exercise price of those
warrants was greater than the trading value of the common stock and
therefore inclusion of such would be anti-dilutive. Also excluded from the
calculation were 131,840 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock
issued during the year ended September 30, 2002, which are considered
anti-dilutive due to the cash payment required by the holders of the
securities at the time of conversion. Neither the preferred stock or the
warrants were outstanding during the three month period ended December 31,
2001.

The following presents the computation of basic and diluted loss per share from
continuing operations for the three months ended December 31:

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

As our primary source of revenue, we offer "Preferred" listings to businesses
for a monthly fee (currently $17.95). The "preferred" listing provides a
business with a priority placement listing over non-paying listings and is
displayed in a bigger and bolder font at the beginning of, or in the first
section of the user's search results - thus featuring our paying customers more
prominently to user's of our website. In addition, our paying customers get a
Mini-Webpage(TM) which includes a 40-word description of their business, their
hours of operation and other useful information, a direct link to the paying
customers website, (if they have one and it is provided by the advertiser), map,
driving directions to the paying customers location and more. As of December 31,
2002 we have approximately 180,111 "preferred" listing advertisers who have
subscribed for this enhanced advertising service. This represents less than six
tenths of 1% of the estimated available market for preferred listings. We market
for advertisers of our "preferred" listing service, under the name
"Yellow-Page.Net, exclusively to businesses through a direct mail solicitation
program. The solicitation includes a promotional incentive (i.e. generally a
$3.50 check) which, if cashed by the business, automatically signs the business
up for the Preferred Listing service for an initial twelve month period with
automatic renewals thereafter. This easy subscription process provides a written
confirmation (i.e. the check)

of the subscription by the newly subscribing business, which is verified by an
independent third party (i.e the paying customers depositing bank). To
additionally insure the intention of sign-up, the Company then mails a written
confirmation card to the newly subscribing business generally within 30 days
from activation. The Company also provides a 120-day cancellation period whereby
the subscribing business may cancel and receive a full refund of any amounts
paid to the Company.

Recently, the Company has created an outbound calling department whose function
is to proactively obtain the 40-word description to be used in the
Mini-Webpage(TM), as well as other information from each newly subscribing
customer. This effort is expected to provide more information for potential
customers searching our website to help them choose to do business with one of
our Preferred Listing advertisers.

GROWTH INITIATIVES

PRIMARY GROWTH STRATEGIES

PREFERRED LISTINGS-We currently derive almost all of our revenue from selling
Preferred Listings for the search results on our website. A Preferred Listing is
displayed at the beginning of search results in response to a user's specific
questions. A Preferred Listing is enhanced on the display of search results and
includes a "Mini-Webpage(TM)" listing where the paying customer can use up to 40
words to advertise; among other features. Our primary growth strategy is to
obtain a significantly greater number of Preferred Listings given the large,
estimated potential available market for such listings. As part of this
strategy, the Company has re-instituted its marketing program and plans to
regularly solicit its potential customer base of approximately 18 million
businesses through its direct mail solicitation program. As a result of such
program, the Company has increased its customer count from 88,799 at December
31, 2001 to 180,111 at December 31, 2002, an increase of over 100%

BRANDING-The Company also plans to further embark upon a substantial campaign to
brand its product using the YP.Net and Yellow-Page.Net names. The Company seeks
to become the "internet yellow pages of choice" to businesses and consumers
performing searches.

In addition to its cross marketing and cross placement agreement(s) with other
websites, the Company has signed a contract for advertising relating to Baca
Racing and National Hot Rod Association ("NHRA") events which provides us with
advertising on the Baca Racing vehicles as well as public relations and
advertising as a sponsor of NHRA In addition, we are members of both the Yellow
Pages Integrated Media Association (YPIMA) and the Association of Directory
Publishers (ADP). These organizations are trade associations for yellow page
publishers that promote quality of published content and advertising methods.
The Company plans to take an even more active role in the year ahead

In the future, the Company also plans to substantially increase its advertising
through print, media and fixed placement advertising in select markets.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Revenue for the three-month period ended December 31, 2002, was
$5,741,455 compared to $2,992,993 for the three-month period ended December 31,
2001, an increase of over 90%. The increase in net revenue is primarily the
result of an increase in preferred listing customers. Preferred listing
customers increased to 180,111 at December 31, 2002 compared to 88,799 preferred
listing customers at December 31, 2001. The increase in preferred listing
customers is the result of our direct mail solicitation marketing efforts.

Cost of services for the three- month periods ended December 31, 2002 and
December 31, 2001 were $1,822,150 and $1,184,277, respectively. Cost of services
is comprised of billing aggregator dilution expenses, certain direct mailer
marketing costs and the amortization of such costs, allowances for bad debt and
our billing costs including billing fees charged by our billing aggregators.
Dilution expenses include customer credits and any other receivable write-downs.
The primary reason our cost of services has continued to increase is due to the
previously mentioned increase in preferred listing customers. Cost of services
as a percent of net revenue fell to approximately 31% for the three months ended
December 31, 2002 compared to approximately 39% for the same period in the prior
fiscal year as a result of the leveraging of our fixed overhead due to the
increased preferred listing customers. Also, previously implemented filtering
procedures (ie. Delete wrong phone numbers, etc.) continue to assure the proper
filtering of our customer base to the correct LEC for billing purposes to reduce
dilution. Further, our customer contact program has allowed the Company to
obtain current information on its customers who have moved or changed the names
of their businesses further reducing dilution.

General and administrative expense for the three-month periods ended
December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 were $1,376,078 and $865,801,
respectively. General and Administrative expenses increased due to an increase
in costs and employees relating to our growth in preferred listing customers,
our Quality Assurance and Outbound marketing initiatives, as well as an increase
in certain officers compensation relating to executive services contracts which
provide the Company with the services of such officers. As a percent of net
revenues, such expenses declined to approximately 24% from approximately 29% in
the comparable prior year period.

Sales and marketing expenses are primarily the costs associated with our
marketing relating to our direct mail solicitations. Sales and marketing
expenses for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2002 and December 31,
2001 were $632,435 and $43,879, respectively. The primary reason for the
increase in sales and marketing is due to the Company re-instituting its
marketing solicitation program and the implementation of new market strategies
and modification of direct mail marketing pieces. We capitalize certain direct
marketing expenses and amortize those costs over an 18-month period based on the
customer attrition rates analyzed by the Company.

The cost of our Yellow-Page.Net URL license was capitalized at $5,000,000.
---------------
The URL is amortized on an accelerated basis over the twenty-year term of the
licensing agreement. Amortization expense on the URL was $91,125 and $148,379
for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2002,
respectively. Annual amortization expense in future years related to the URL is
anticipated to be approximately $200,000 - 300,000.

Interest income, net of interest expense, for the three-month periods ended
December 31, 2002 was $720 and interest expense, net of interest income for the
three months ended December 31, 2001 was $28,414. The decrease in the interest
expense portion was a result of the payment of a substantial portion of our
debt.

We recorded other income of $48,906 and other expense of $4,291, respectively,
for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001. The
primary component of other income in the 2002 period was a gain of $115,979
resulting from a settlement with a former consultant to the Company.

Net income before taxes for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2002
and December 31, 2001 were $1,821,486 and $726,534, respectively. Net income for
the three-month periods ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 were
$1,092,892 , or $0.02 per diluted share, and $306,349, or $0.01 per diluted
share, respectively. Net income increased due to the increase in preferred
listing customers cited above with a less than corresponding increase in the
expenses to service such customers due to nature of certain fixed infrastructure
expenses which do not necessarily increase as revenues increase.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three-month period ended
December 31, 2002, was $700,104 compared to $452,099 for the three-month period
ended December 31, 2001. The increase in cash generated from operations is
primarily due to a significant increase in net income resulting from an increase
in preferred listing customers offset by an increase in the accounts receivable
balance from such growth, funds expended for mailings related to the Company's
marketing efforts as well as payments to officers and consultants with common
stock.

We had working capital of $3,964,798 as of December 31, 2002 compared to
$1,740,083 as of December 31, 2001. The increase is due to increases in accounts
receivable of $1,612,142 and net capitalized direct marketing costs of
$1,534,988 resulting from our growth in preferred listing customers.

Cash used in investing activities was $270,680 for the three-month period
ended December 31, 2002. The primary components of cash used, represents
purchase of computer equipment and intellectual property of $170,680 and net
advances to affiliates of $100,000. Compared to the three-month period ended
December 31, 2001, cash used of $29,800 represented the purchase of computer
equipment.

Cash used by financing activities was $307,000 for the three-month period
ended December 31, 2002, compared to $771,781 for the three -month period ended
December 31, 2001. The cash used represents total payments made to reduce the
principal balances of our outstanding debt reduced by financing of $147,000
under the Company's trade acceptance draft program with AcTrade Financial
Technologies, Ltd.

We have repaid almost all of our debt. We believe that we will continue to
generate adequate cash flow from our operations to service our remaining debt.
As part of our "Puts" settlement agreement, we have a commitment to provide up
to $10,000,000 in loans to each of the M&M's (Morris & Miller, Ltd. and Matthew
& Markson, Ltd.). Those funding commitments are contingent upon the Company
having sufficient cash flow for its operations. Any amounts advanced to the
M&M's are to be repaid to the Company and can be offset against amounts owed to
the M&M's. We do not believe that the M&M's will make significant requests for
funding under this commitment since the M&M's are our largest shareholders and
any such advances would adversely affect our liquidity

On September 20, 2002, the Company entered into Executive Consulting Agreements
with Sunbelt Financial Concepts Inc. ("Sunbelt"), Advertising Management and
Consulting Services, Inc. ("AMCS") and Advanced Internet Marketing Inc. ("AIM")
relating to the employment of three executive managers and their respective
staffs. As part of these agreements a Flex Compensation program was instituted.
Under these agreements, each of Sunbelt, AMCS and AIM may annually draw up to
$220,000, $50,000 and $50,000 respectively subject to sufficient cash on hand at
the Company. The amounts are increased by 10% annually and also contain a Due on
Sale Clause, whereby if there is a change of control of the Company, as defined,
then the respective agreements allows each to receive the greater of 30% of the
amounts due under the respective agreements or 12 months worth of fees. As of
March 31, 2003, Sunbelt, AMCS and AIM had drawn approximately $200,000, $50,000
and $50,000 respectively under these Flex agreements.

CERTAIN RISK FACTORS

There are numerous factors that affect our business and the results of our
operations. Sources of these factors include general economic and business
conditions, federal and state regulation of our business activities, the level
of demand for our services, the level and intensity of competition in the
electronic yellow page industry and the pricing pressures that may result, our
ability to develop new services based on new or evolving technology and the
market's acceptance of those new services, our ability to timely and effectively
manage periodic product transitions, the services, customer and geographic sales
mix of any particular period, and our ability to continue to improve our
infrastructure (including personnel and technology systems) to keep pace with
the growth in our overall business activities. Our operations can be adversely
affected if we are unable to increase our customer base and revenue through our
direct marketing efforts. We are also subject to intense competition from other
providers of Internet "yellow page" type services, Yahoo and Microsoft, as well
as competition from large telephone companies. Set forth below and elsewhere in
this Form 10-QSB are risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking
statements contained herein.

GROSS MARGINS MAY DECLINE OVER TIME: We expect that gross margins may be
adversely affected because we have determined that profit margins from the
electronic yellow pages offerings that we have profited from in the past have
fluctuated. We have experienced a decrease in revenue from the LEC from the
effects of the Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLEC) that are participating
in providing local telephone services to customers. We have begun to address
this problem and we are implementing data filters to reduce the effects of the
CLEC's. We have also sought other billing methods to reduce the adverse effects
of the CLEC billings. These other billing methods may be cheaper or more
expensive than our current LEC billing and we have not yet determined if they
will be less or more effective. We continue to look for profitable Internet
opportunities; however there are no assurances that we will be successful, and
presently we have no acquisitions in progress.

DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL: Our performance is substantially dependant on the
performance of our executive officers and other key employees and our ability to
attract, train, retain and motivate high quality personnel, especially highly
qualified technical and managerial personnel. The loss of services of any
executive officers or key employees could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations or financial condition. Competition for talented
personnel is intense, and there is no assurance that we will be able to continue
to attract, train, retain or motivate other highly qualified technical and
managerial personnel in the future. Our Chief Executive Officer is involved in
personal litigation, which may divert his attention from the management of the
Company.

Operating results for a particular quarter are difficult to predict: We expect
that in the future, our net sales may grow at a slower rate on a
quarter-to-quarter basis than experienced in previous periods.

REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT. Existing laws and regulations and any future regulation
may have a material adverse effect on our business. These effects could include
substantial liability including fines and criminal penalties, preclusion from
offering certain products or services and the prevention or limitation of
certain marketing practices. As a result of such changes, our ability to
increase our business through Internet usage could also be substantially
limited.
