("ANC" or the "Company"), is a Wyoming corporation formed in 1979. In September 1994, American Nortel and its subsidiary Nortel Communications, Inc., filed petitions under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Utah, Central Division (Case Numbers 948-24604 and 948-24605). The proceedings were later converted to Chapter 7 liquidation proceedings, and dismissed on February 7, 1996. American Nortel sold its Nortel Communications subsidiary in June 1996 for nominal consideration to an affiliate of former directors. During the pendancy of the bankruptcy proceedings in June 1995, a controlling stock interest in the company was sold to Wilcom, Inc., which is currently the majority stockholder of the Company. In February 1996, the bankruptcy proceedings were dismissed. ANC is presently in the business of long distance telecommunications services offerings and is a reseller of 1-Plus, 1-800 and 1-888 long-distance telecommunications services. ANC resells long distance telephone time that it purchases or leases from other long distance carriers. ANC resells long distance telephone services to both business and residential customers. As a reseller it purchases or leases long distance time from other carriers and resells that time to its customers. ANC is charged for the time it uses beyond certain minimum requirements and in turn charges its customers a certain rate per minute. To a large extent, ANC's profits are dependent upon the difference between its cost per minute of long distance time purchased and the amount it charges its customers. The Company's results of operations are directly affected by competition, which in recent years has lowered the amount resellers such as the Company can charge customers. ANC out-sources its sales and marketing to telemarketers and it pays these telemarketers a certain amount for each new customer obtained. The Company does not direct-bill its customers, but rather utilizes Local Exchange Carriers ("LEC's") which provide telephone services to the Company's long-distance customers, and perform billing and collections for the Company. The LEC's receive a fee based upon a certain percentage of amounts collected for the Company. The Company's management believes that the practice of billing through LEC's has a substantial advantage because it increases the likelihood and promptness of the Company collecting on its customer accounts. ANC's operating strategy has both advantages and disadvantages. Because the Company purchases long-distance services from other carriers and uses third parties for its sales and marketing, ANC has lower capital requirements since it does not have the additional cost of traditional long distance companies to provide infrastructure, and lower equipment costs, rent and salaries compared to some of its competitors. On the other hand, ANC is dependent upon these long distance carriers and third parties to provide essential services to ANC and to -2- allow ANC to contract for these services at competitive rates. ANC's revenues from the sale of long distance internationally have decreased. ANC has ceased promoting and selling long distance services for international calling. ANC had net sales of $7,967,108 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, compared to gross net sales of $22,923,118 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001. COMPETITION The long distance telephone industry is highly competitive, with numerous providers sharing the same market as ANC. Many of ANC's competitors have greater capital resources, are more established and have a larger customer base than ANC. Competition among resellers and other providers of long-distance services generally is conducted on the basis of price. Prices charged to users of long distance services have decreased over the last several years. Extreme competition in the market has resulted in consolidation in the industry. However, the remaining resellers operate in a manner similar to ANC Long distance telephone service customers have become more sophisticated and price conscious. Customers are likely to switch services when new communication packages offered by competitors become available, and switching from one service provider to another has little or no cost implications to the customers. Other sources of competition for long distance service providers are developing due to new offerings by providers, such as cable television providers, Internet service providers, and high-speed voice and data communication providers. In addition, long distance service offered by the LEC's will also tend to increase ANC's customer and revenue attrition. Competitive conditions in the long distance telephone service industry in recent years have resulted in larger companies taking control of the market. Because of this competition, ANC is seeking other business operations to replace its declining long distance telephone revenue. REGULATORY BACKGROUND The Company and the long distance telecommunications industry are subject to regulations by the United States Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC"). Today's domestic long distance telecommunications industry was shaped by a 1984 court decree that required AT&T's divestiture of its 22 Bell operating companies. This decree organized those companies under seven regional Bell operating companies and divided the country into Local Access Transport Areas, or LATAs. The incumbent local exchange carriers, which include the seven regional Bell operating companies as well as independent local exchange carriers, were given the right to provide local telephone service, local access service to long distance carriers and long distance service within Local Access Transport Areas. However, the regional Bell operating companies were prohibited from providing long distance service between Local Access Transport Areas. Consequently, the right to provide long distance service was given to other interexchange carriers. -3- The 1996 Telecommunications Act significantly altered the long distance telecommunications industry. The regional Bell operating carriers are now permitted to provide long distance service originating (or in the case of "800 and 888" service, terminating) outside the local services areas or offered in conjunction with other ancillary services, such as wireless services. Following application to the FCC, and upon a finding by the FCC that the regional Bell operating companies face facilities-based competition, and after satisfying a congressionally-mandated "competitive checklist" of interconnection and access obligations, a Bell operating carrier may now provide long distance service within its local service area. Having opened the interexchange market to the Bell operating companies, the 1996 Telecommunications Act also removes all legal barriers to competitive entry by interexchange and other carriers into the local telecommunications market and directs Bell operating companies to allow competing telecommunications service providers, such as the Company, to interconnect their facilities with the local exchange network, to acquire network components on an unbundled basis and to resell local telecommunications services. The result of these regulatory actions was to give resellers of long distance services access to potential customers directly through the local area exchange network. Legislative, actions judicial and technology factors have helped to create the foundation for smaller long distance providers, such as ANC, to emerge as alternative long distance service providers. The FCC has required all interexchange carriers to allow the resale of their services. In recent years, national and regional network providers have substantially upgraded the quality and capacity of their domestic long distance networks, resulting in significant excess transmission capacity for voice and data communications. ANC believes that, as a result of digital fiber optic technology and installation of fiber optic transmission networks, excess capacity has been, and will continue to be, an important factor in long distance telecommunications. ANC believes that resellers and other long distance service providers represent a source of such traffic to carriers with excess capacity. INDUSTRY EVOLUTION Resellers represent a paradox in the telecommunications marketplace. Resellers are a source of revenues to the major long distance providers, but also represent a risk to the product quality, reputation and pricing of the major providers. Not only do long distance service resellers receive legal protection to compete with network-based major carriers, but also the resellers' sale of network-based carrier excess capacity represents a source of additional traffic for such carriers. ANC believes that the three major carriers and most regional carriers have substantial excess telecommunication transmission capacity, and that the constant technological and facility upgrading will continue, resulting in excess capacity in the carriers' network for the foreseeable future. Many resellers originated as customer base groups or aggregators of customers. Their operations generally are marked by relatively low overhead and low capital investment in property, plant and equipment. Resellers often offer value-added services that other carriers are not prepared to offer, such as customized location billing, non-telecom billing services, international call-back, customized calling cards, multiple carrier service at single -4- locations with single invoices, and split dedicated service. Although new entrants to the industry face some regulatory barriers, the costs of overcoming these are relatively low. With low entry barriers, a significant portion of the telecommunications market is still open to significant price and service competition. To date, resellers have been able to quickly build sizable customer bases on marketing and telemarketing strengths. In many cases, rapid growth has strained some resellers' ability to manage their revenues and their general business enterprise. Highly competitive conditions in the industry will continue to create difficulties for resellers in attracting capital to finance receivables, improve facilities and equipment, and to develop management and systems infrastructure. The Company believes that the major carriers and some of the regional carriers will continue to derive a portion of their revenues from their wholesalers and resale market. ANC believes that opportunities for the future growth of its business exist in the high gross profit product/service area segments, including prepaid calling cards, international services, wireless services, voice and data transmission, web-site and internet service packaging, 800 and 888 number service, voice mail and electronic email. However, to supplement its declining long distance telephone service revenue, ANC believes that it must also seek other business opportunities. SERVICE AND PRODUCTS The Company offers basic 1 plus, 800 and 888 long distance services. The Company charges its customers on the basis of minutes or partial minutes of usage at rates which vary with the distance, duration, time of day and type of call. Rate charges for a call are not affected by the particular transmission facilities selected for the call, but are affected by the type of call a user may select. All of ANC's billings for its customers' use of ANC long distance calling is done through a customer's LEC. ANC offers a flat-rate long distance calling service throughout the United States. ANC bills for its services in six-second increments. BILLING SERVICE AGREEMENTS ANC's 1 plus, 800 and 888 long distance customers utilize LEC billing service integrators to bill customers. These integrators have been approved by various LECs to provide billing, collection and related services through the LECs. ANC has entered into a customer billing service agreement with Integretel, Inc. ("IGT"). Under this agreement, the service providers bill and collect long distance charges to the Company's customers through LEC billings. These amounts, net of reserves for bad debts, billing adjustments, telephone company fees and the integrator's fees, are remitted to the Company on a monthly basis. LONG DISTANCE SERVICE AGREEMENTS On December 9, 1996, ANC entered into a Billing Services Agreement for 1 plus 800 and 888 service with Integrated Incorporated ("IGT") whereby IGT provides ANC telephone company billing and collection and other associated services to the telecommunications industry. The agreement term is for two years, and is automatically renewable in two-year increments unless appropriate notice to terminate is given by either party. The agreement automatically renewed on December 9, 2000, as neither party gave notice of termination prior -5- to the renewal date. Under this agreement, IGT bills, collects and remits the long distance service proceeds to ANC, net of reserves for bad debts, billing adjustments, telephone company fees and IGT fees. On December 19, 1996, the Company entered into a Master Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Accounts with IGT (the "Account Agreement"), which is in substance a factoring agreement. The terms of the Account Agreement provide for advances of the lesser of the maximum purchase obligation of $5,000,000 or a percentage of the total receivables, based on historical uncollectible account data. Interest is charged monthly at a rate equal to the prime rate plus six percent, applied to the average daily balance during the preceding month. An administrative fee equal to one tenth of one cent for each transaction record submitted to IGT is also charged monthly. In addition, an annual facility fee in an amount equal to one percent of the maximum purchase obligation of $5,000,000 is due on the anniversary date of the agreement. The advances and related fees are repaid by customer payments remitted directly to IGT. The Account Agreement is secured by all of ANC's accounts receivable whether or not specifically purchased by IGT. The balance of the Account Agreement at June 30, 2001, is in excess of customer payments received by IGT and exceeds the allowance reserve maintained by IGT. Effective August 1, 1997, ANC entered into an agreement with Telesolutions ("TSN") to provide data processing services related to compiling call data from carriers and submission of LEC billing data to IGT. This agreement is terminable by either party upon 120 days notice. GROWTH STRATEGY The Company has decided to change its 1 plus 800 and 888 long distance strategy. ANC has determined that profit margins from the long distance service offerings that it has achieved in the past have narrowed to an unacceptable level. The long distance market as a whole has experienced a decrease in profit margins due to the aggressive price competition that has characterized the industry during the last several years. ANC has changed its business endeavors. Although the Company has not abandoned its long distance service business, ANC has decreased its marketing efforts in long distance service offerings and has dedicated that portion of its operating budget to investments in other companies, particularly in smaller early stage companies that are in need of working capital. ANC is making these investments with the hope of acquiring control of a profitable operating company that has the potential to generate revenues to supplement the revenues ANC generates from its long-distance service business. The Company will continue to serve its existing customers. INVESTMENTS IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES The companies in which ANC has made investments are generally small, under capitalized corporations whose stock is traded in the over-the-counter markets. The issuers may have limited operating histories and revenues. ANC intends to continue to seek to acquire an operating company with substantial revenue to supplement its declining long distance service revenues. ANC has invested in businesses that operate in or are affiliated with the Internet or telecommunications industry. These companies have limited operating histories and revenue and ANC's investment in these companies may not achieve its goal of obtaining a profitable operating company. ANC intends to continue to seek to acquire an operating company with substantial revenue to supplement its declining long distance service revenues, but ANC can provide no assurances that -6- it will be successful in these efforts. However, the Company has not presently identified the business in which it intends to invest its resources in an effort to mitigate the effects of the declining profitability in the long distance reseller business. ANC's investments in marketable securities consisted of the following at June 30, 2001: Gross Unrealized Fair Cost Gains Losses Value ---- ----- ------ ----- Equity securities $3,196,133 $1,107,370 $(782,033) $3,221,470 The above reflects values before income taxes. ANC has invested in common stock and related warrants of several publicly traded companies. At June 30, 2001, ANC's investment in marketable securities consisted of investments in six different companies. The investment in one such company's securities represents approximately 56% and 40% of ANC's estimated aggregate fair value of all investments in marketable securities as of June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000, respectively. ANC has an arrangement with Medcom USA, Inc. that provide the Company with a guarantee or a reverse stock split protection and ANC would maintain a value of $1,000,000 should the stock price fall below a point that reduces the stock's current value below a certain amount. At June 30, 2001, the value of the Company's holdings in that company was approximately $600,000 determined on the basis of the trading price of the stock at June 30, 2001. However, on the basis of that agreement, ANC recorded a value of $1,000,000 for holdings in that security considering that the entity is required to issue additional shares to the Company to meet the $1,000,000 guarantee. This company has since complied with the terms of the agreement and issued ANC the additional stock as required by the agreement. ANC sold its interest in American Educational Products, Inc. ("AMEP") in April 2001. Proceeds from sales of equity securities of AMEP were $194,000 and $2,232,888 and gross realized (losses) gains were ($16,468) and $1,670,979 for the years ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000, respectively. ANC reclassified its investment in Morgan Cooper Inc., ("MCII") under the equity method, at a cost of $1,727,027. Reclassification of ANC's investment occurred due to ANC's investment of additional funds, which was made in order to preserve ANC's original investment. This investment was previously classified as an available for sale security. Subsequent to June 30, 2001, the market value of all investment securities held by ANC at June 30, 2001 had decreased by approximately $1,404,000. The Company determined that its investment in MCII had been permanently impaired and wrote down the value of its investment from $1,727,027 to $165,282 as of June 30, 2001. See the report form 8-K, filed June 22, 2001 for Morgan Cooper, Inc. (MCII). -7- Description of Companies -------------------------- The following is a brief description of the public companies in which ANC has made an investment: Dauphin Technologies, Inc. ("DNTK"). DNTK designs manufactures and markets mobile hand-held, pen based computers, as well as other electronic devises for home and business use. DNTK primary product line is a handheld computer developed with the multi-sector mobile user in mind.

SONM incorporates financial service companies that operate a chain of stores devoted to providing low documentation, short-term consumer loans. SONM is one of the largest payday advance operations in the Chicago area. PTN Media, Inc. ("PTNM"). PTNM is an interactive media content provider focusing on providing branded products through the use of the Internet with content using a combination of new and traditional media. PTNM initial web-site focus on fashion, beauty, style, fitness, and related subjects. PTNM currently provides this content on its interactive web site www.fashionwindow.com. MedCom USA, Inc. ("EMED"). EMED enables paperless electronic verifications and transactions, a web health care portal, and online purchase of home medical equipment through its operating units. In July 2001, as a result of common stock issued to ANC, through the operation of a reverse stock split protection agreement, assumed the management of EMED. EMED was in a financial crisis and asked that Mr. Williams and ANC to provide direction and funding. The Corporate offices of EMED are now located with the corporate offices of ANC and ANC's interest in EMED is intended to be accounted for on an equity method accounting for period ending June 30, 2002. Cynet, Inc. ("CYNE"). CYNE is an Internet business applications solutions provider integrating convergent messaging with Internet services. CYNE's products and services include convergent messaging, which includes fax, data, voice, email and wireless messaging, and Internet services, which includes custom application development, e-commerce development, web content creation, web hosting and internet access. ANC's interest in CYNE is approximately 3%. Pursuant to a Funding Agreement between ANC and CYNE, in consideration of ANC's $750,000 investment in CYNE, CYNE agreed to file a registration statement covering ANC's shares in CYNE on or before September 1, 2000. CYNE has failed to file the registration statement, and under the Funding Agreement CYNE has issued to ANC 75,000 shares of CYNE common stock for every 30 days that expire before the registration statement is effective. Under this Agreement, ANC held or was entitled to be issued 450,000 shares of CYNE common stock, consisting of 5% of all CYNE's issued and outstanding common stock. Morgan Cooper, Inc. ("MCII"). MCII was primarily involved in designing contemporary style clothing. After making an additional investment in an effort to protect its original investment, ANC assumed the management of MCII pursuant -8- to a Settlement Agreement between ANC and Morgan Cooper and Zarina Cooper, individually, dated March 4, 2001, under which the Company for $125,000 purchased 6,400,000 shares of MCII common stock from Morgan and Zarina Cooper which is approximately 48% of all issued and outstanding shares of MCII. The corporate offices of MCII are now located at the Corporate offices of ANC. MCII is presented as a consolidated entity under the equity method of accounting since ANC now owns greater than 20% of the outstanding common stock of the MCII. MCII currently has no operations, and ANC may be unable to recover its $1,727,027 investment in Morgan Cooper. The Securities and Exchange Commission has notified ANC and Morgan Cooper that it is investigating MCII relative to certain matters ANC's management believes occurred prior to the time ANC's chief executive officer assumed management of MCII. See "Legal Proceedings," below. MCII has been delinquent in filing its required periodic reports with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). It has not filed its annual report on form 10-KSB its 2000 fiscal year and has not filed reports on form 10-QSB for the periods ending March 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001. MCII is seeking to the correct the filing delinquencies. As a result of the failures to file the report, investors in MCII stock have not had available to them financial and other information, which would be necessary for informed investment decisions. As a consequence of MCII's late filings of its reports, investors did not have available to them full financial and other information concerning MCII and such failures may result in claims against the MCII. Recently the SEC has written a letter to MCII regarding its failure to file. It has also requested MCII to provide documents in connection with an SEC investigation. MCII cannot at this time say what, if any, actions the SEC may take against MCII. Any action taken by the SEC could have an adverse impact on MCII. ANC believes that the SEC investigation relates to matters that occurred at MCII before ANC's chief executive officer assumed the position of chief executive officer of MCII. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The Company files reports and other materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These documents may be inspected and copied at the Commission's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., 20549.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Certain statements in this report are forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in such forward looking statements are the following: ANC's ability to manage its growth; litigation; changes in regulation; competition in the long distance telecommunications market; ANC's ongoing contractual relationship with its long distance carriers and other service providers; dependence upon key personnel; changes in rates of customer attrition; the adoption of new, or changes in, accounting policies or practices, and estimates and the application of such policies, practices, and estimates; federal and state governmental regulation of the long distance telecommunications industry; ANC's ability to develop its own long distance network; the Company's ability to maintain, and operate its information systems; and ANC's success in offering additional communications products and services; and the services of ANC's investment in other companies. FISCAL 2001 OPERATIONS ------------------------ During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, the Company has purchased and sold stock in the following companies: -11- On October 26, 2000, the Company purchased 150,000 shares of PTN Media, Inc. ("PTNM") common stock at $3.33 and on May 13, 2001, the Company purchased 300,000 shares of common stock of PTNM at $1.00 per share. PTNM is an interactive media content provider focusing on providing branded content using a combination of new and traditional media. PTNM initial web-site focus on fashion, beauty, style, fitness, and related subjects. PTNM currently provides this content on its interactive web site www.fashionwindow.com. The average of the bid and asked price of the stock as of June 30, 2001, was $2.60 per share according to over-the-counter market. On December 26, 2000, ANC purchased 106,400 shares of MedCom USA, Inc. ("EMED") common stock at a $1.25 per share, and on June 30, 2001, ANC purchased 300,000 shares of EMED common stock at a $1.00 per share. EMED enables paperless electronic verifications and transactions, a web health care portal, and online purchase of home medical equipment through its operating units. The average of the bid and asked price of the stock as of June 30, 2001, was $1.00 per share. ANC has an agreement with EMED that provides that EMED will issue ANC additional shares of common stock if the stock price of EMED stock falls below a price that reduces the current value of the Company's investment below $1,000,000. At June 30, 2001, the value of ANC's investment in EMED was approximately $600,000, determined on the basis of the trading price of the stock as of the same date. The Company, on the basis of its agreement with EMED, recorded a value of $1,000,000 for holdings in EMED considering that the entity is required to issue additional shares to ANC to meet the $1,000,000 guarantee. EMED has since issued ANC the additional shares of common stock required to meet EMED's obligation. Although ANC can provide no issuances, ANC's management believes that EMED's business model and potential opportunities may provide the vehicle for ANC to supplement or replace its declining revenue from long distance telephone service. On December 28, 2000, the Company purchased 175,000 shares of common stock at $.14 per share and received 450,000 of penalty shares from Cynet, Inc. ("CYNE"). CYNE is an Internet business applications solutions provider integrating convergent messaging with Internet services. CYNE's products and services include convergent messaging, which includes fax, data, voice, email and wireless messaging, and Internet services, which includes custom application development, e-commerce development, web content creation, web hosting and internet access. The average of the bid and asked price of the Stock as of June 30, 2001, was $.075 per share as quoted on the over-the-counter market. CYNE is obligated to issue 75,000 additional shares of its common stock to the Company for each month that it fails to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the shares of its common stock that have been issued to the Company. On October 2, 2000, the Company purchased 400,000 shares of common stock of Morgan Cooper, Inc. ("MCII") at $1.56 per share. MCII was primarily involved in design contemporary style clothing. During the year ended June 30, 2001, the Company acquired an interest of approximately 40% of this entity. Because of the increased ownership, the Company reclassified its investment in MCII under the equity method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18. -12- Morgan and Zarina Cooper, the principal shareholders of MCII, reached a settlement agreement with ANC whereby ANC acquired additional shares of common stock and ANC's chief executive officer assumed the position of president of MCII. MCII had ceased its existing operations prior to that time. The Company intends to assist in recapitalizing MCII and is attempting to locate prospective merger candidates for MCII. The Company has invested approximately $1,727,000 in MCII. Because of the uncertainties relative to the prospects of MCII and the significant decline in the market value of its stock, the Company believes the carrying value was impaired and recognized an impairment write-down of $1,561,767 for the year ended June 30, 2001. MCII has conducted no material operations subsequent to ANC's acquisition of ANC's additional equity interest and, therefore, no recognition of the Company's income or loss of equity in MCII for the year ended June 30, 2001. ANC is attempting to determine how it will recover its investment in MCII. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Fiscal Year End June 30, 2001, Compared to Fiscal Year End June 30, 2000. Revenues for Fiscal 2001 decreased to $7,967,108 from $22,783,749 during Fiscal 2000. The decrease in revenue is primarily the result of decreases in revenues from the Company's basic 1 Plus 800, and 888 long distance service, and a decrease in international long distance calling. The Company has also experienced a decrease in its market share in large call volume areas. The decrease in volume is a result of the decision of management to make changes in the strategic direction of the Company as outlined above. Selling expenses for Fiscal 2001 decreased to $150,529 from $872,525 during Fiscal 2000. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in marketing efforts. ANC has dedicated its marketing budget to an equity investment strategy. General and administrative expenses for Fiscal 2001 decreased to $1,572,543 from $1,622,225 during Fiscal 2000. The decrease was due to the Company's decision to decrease its customer service staff. Interest expense for Fiscal 2001 decreased to $191,665 from $619,719 for Fiscal 2000. The decrease in interest expense was a result of margin interest from First Research Investment for the holding and purchase of corporate stock equities on margin. These loans had been paid in full at June 30, 2000. The decrease is also a result of pay down of the Company's factoring facility, thereby decreasing the interest expense from the cost of sale to be included in the separately stated interest expense. Proceeds from sales of equity securities were $194,000 and $2,232,888 and gross realized (losses) gains were ($16,468) from the sale of AMEP, $1,670,979 from the sale of DNTK and SONM for the year ended June 30, 2001. -13- The Company reclassified, under the equity method, its investment in Morgan Cooper, Inc. at a cost of $1,727,027 previously classified as an available for sale security. Subsequent to June 30, 2001, the market value of investment securities held at June 30, 2001, had decreased by approximately $1,404,000. Net loss for Fiscal 2001 was ($1,176,227) or ($.08) per basic share, compared to a net profit of $2,840,906, or $.18 per basic share for Fiscal 2000. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company has funded its working capital requirements primarily from cash provided by operating activities. The Company has been able to sustain its operations from cash generated from operations and cash generated from investments in corporate securities. Cash provided by operating activities increased for Fiscal 2001 to $2,906,516 compared to $2,751,631 for Fiscal 2000. The Company's source of revenue is generated from its sale of long distance services to the Company's customers. Additional sources of revenue are generated from the Company's investment in corporate securities. The increase in operating activities is primarily due to market change in corporate securities held by the Company and its income tax accounting. Cash flows used for investing activities were $1,945,552 for Fiscal 2001 compared to $1,074,867 for Fiscal 2000. The Company continues to invest in available-for-sale corporate securities. Cash flows used for financing activities was $2,146,150 in Fiscal 2001, compared to cash flows provided for financing activities of $989,613 for Fiscal 2000. The Company had cash outflow of $2,146,150 for the payment of debt, which resulted from the paying down of a factoring arrangement that now has a balance of $237,000. As the Company makes investments is other entities, it may determine that additional investments are necessary to fund these entities to assist in them achieving profitability. The Company will make these investment decisions on a case-by-case basis. Other Considerations There are numerous factors that affect our business and the results of its 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 telecommunications 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 systems) to keep pace with the growth in its overall business activities. Factors that may affect our business is the regulations by Securities Exchange Commissions related to the possibility that we could be treated as an investment company. The Securities Exchange Commission regulation states that if our available-for-sale investments fair market value exceeds our operating assets we -14- could be classified as an investment company. However, the Securities Exchange Commissions has been requested by various companies to reconsidering this regulation. FACTORS, WHICH MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS Set forth below and elsewhere in this Annual Report and in the other documents ANC files with SEC, including the most recent 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 in the Annual Report. CARRYING VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying values of financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates its fair value, as estimated by using discounted future cash flows based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements. FLUCTUATIONS IN FAIR VALUES ANC maintains investment portfolio holdings of various issuers, types, and maturities. These securities are generally classified as available for sale, and consequently, are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. Part of this portfolio includes equity investments in several publicly traded companies, the values of which are subject to market price volatility. These investments are inherently risky because they are relatively small, unseasoned companies and the market for the technologies or products they have under development are typically in the early stages of development and may not materialize as anticipated. ANC could lose its entire investment in these companies. Several of the companies in which ANC has invested have experienced severe operating difficulties. Morgan Cooper, Inc. ("MCII") is presently conducting no operations and it is uncertain whether the company will be able to return to operational status or to make a profit. The management of MedCom has resigned and ANC's Chief Executive Officer has assumed managerial responsibilities for MedCom. Medcom is presently increasing their operations of the Med-card product and increasing sales with the new management and the divesting of subsidiaries that were not operating efficiently. NO INTENT TO BECOME AN INVESTMENT COMPANY ANC intends to conduct its business so as to not become a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). Accordingly, ANC does not expect to be subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act, including those that prohibit certain transactions among affiliated parties. The 1940 Act exempts issuers primarily engaged, directly or indirectly, through a wholly-owned subsidiary or subsidiaries, in a business other than that of investing, reinvesting, owning or holding or trading in securities. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") may also, upon -15- application by an issuer, find by order that the issuer is primarily engaged in the business or businesses other than investing, reinvesting, owning or holding or trading in securities. The Company's investments in securities are currently 56% of its total assets, exclusive of government securities and cash items (on an unconsolidated basis). The Company intends to seek and develop other lines of business, which would prevent us from becoming subject to the 1940 Act and will, if necessary, make application to the SEC for an order of exemption. If for any reason the Company was to become an investment company which is non-exempt from the 1940 Act (for example, due to a change in its assets or a change in the value of particular assets), it would either have to restructure its assets so as not to become subject to the 1940 Act or would have to change the way in which the Company conducts its activities. Either of these changes could require the Company to sell substantial portions of its assets at a time when it may not wish to do so, and could incur significant losses as a result. Further, to avoid becoming subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, the Company may be required to forego investments, which it would like to make, or otherwise act in a manner other than which management believes would maximize its earnings. These securities are held for investment purposes and the Company sold only its investment in AEP, because of a cash buyout by a third party, for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. UNCERTAINTIES ASSOCIATED WITH SELLING ASSETS An element of ANC's business plan may be to sell publicly or privately held stock in companies in which ANC has invested. ANC's ability to engage in such transactions, the timing of such transactions and the amount of proceeds from such transactions, are dependent on market and other conditions largely beyond ANC's control. Accordingly, there is no assurance that ANC will be able to realize a profit from its investment in any of these companies. These companies may experience thin trading volumes; there is no assurance that ANC could easily dispose of all of its investments in any of these companies in a single transaction and ANC could be required to discount its shares in order to effect a sale. In certain instances, ANC would be required to register its shares with the SEC in order to sell them or to effect sales pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144, which would limit the amount of shares ANC could sell in any three month period to 1% of the total shares issued and outstanding or the average volume of the company's stock over the past few weeks. If ANC were unable to liquidate portions of its portfolio companies at a profit, ANC's business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. The following table presents the hypothetical change in fair values of public equity investments held by ANC that are sensitive to changes in the stock market. These equity securities are held for purposes other than trading. The modeling technique used measures the hypothetical change in fair values arising from selected hypothetical changes in each stock's price. Stock price fluctuations of plus or minus 15%, plus or minus 35%, and plus or minus 50% were selected based on the probability of their occurrence. This table estimates the fair values of the publicly traded corporate equities at a 12-month time horizon: (in millions) -16- Valuation of security Fair value Valuation of security Given X% decrease in each as of given X% increase in each Stock price's June 30, 2001 stock's price (50%) (35%) (15%) 15% 35% 50% Corporate Equities $1.61 $2.09 $2.74 $3.221 $3.70 $4.35 $4.83 *Corporate Equities in comparison to ANC's shares outstanding. $3,221,470/ 15,237,643 shares outstanding as of June 30, 2001. $.21 corporate equities to ANC's shares outstanding INVESTMENTS ACCOUNTED FOR UNDER THE EQUITY METHOD: The Company has acquired additional holdings in certain investee companies that increase its holdings to point where the Company now accounts for those investments under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company will recognize its proportionate amount of the net income or loss of those entities. The investments in companies for which the Company accounts for under the equity method have not yet realized operating profits and there can be no assurances that profitability will be achieved in these operations. ANC EXPECTS GROSS MARGINS TO DECLINE OVER TIME The Company expects that its gross margins will be adversely affected and ANC has determined that profit margins from the long distance service offerings that it has provided in the past have fluctuated and are narrowing. The long distance market as a whole has experienced a decrease in profit margins due to increased competition and competitive price offerings. A geographic mix, as well as the mix of configurations within telecommunications offerings, may also impact the gross margins. ANC is refocusing its business endeavors. ANC has decreased its marketing efforts in long distance service business and has dedicated that portion of its operating budget to the investment in other companies, one or more of which ANC hopes to provide operating profits to supplement and eventually replace its declining long distance service revenues. While long distance margins are decreasing, ANC continues to look for profitable telecommunications opportunities; however there are no assurances that ANC will be successful in any of these efforts. Presently ANC has no acquisition targets in progress. ANC DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL ANC's performance is substantially dependent on the performance of its executive officers and other key employees and its ability to attract, train, retain and motivate high quality personnel, especially highly qualified technical and managerial personnel. The loss of services of any of the Company's executive officers or key employees could have a materially adverse effect on its business, results of operations or financial condition. Competition for talented personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that ANC will be able to continue to attract, train, retain or motivate other highly qualified technical and managerial personnel in the future. -17- ITEM 7.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2000 ------------------------------------------ 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION American Nortel Communications, Inc. (the "Company") operates in the telecommunications business, providing long distance telephone service as a reseller of 1-Plus and 1-800 long distance telecommunication services to small business and residential customers in all areas of the United States. The Company targets markets that have a high volume of calls and international calls. The Company purchases or leases long distance time from other carriers and resells that time to its customers. Local Exchange Carriers ("LECs") that provide local area telephone service to the Company's long distance customers are utilized for billing and collections. The Company has reduced its marketing efforts within its product line. The Company intends to continue operating its long distance telephone services, it has also begun to develop another business segment. The Company has begun to provide investment-banking services. This business line may entail making additional investments, business acquisitions and providing management services to investee businesses. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Cash and cash equivalents include 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 June 30, 2001, cash deposits exceeded those insured limits by $82,754. Investments in marketable securities consist of corporate equity securities ------------------------------------ which are stated at market value. The Company currently classifies all investment securities as available-for -sale. Unrealized gains and losses on such securities, net of the related income tax effect, are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized. Realized gains and losses are included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold. Customer acquisition costs represent the direct response marketing costs ---------------------------- that are incurred through contracted telephone solicitation as the primary method by which customers subscribe to the Company's services. The Company capitalizes and amortizes the costs of direct-response advertising on a straight-line basis over eight months. The amortization lives are based on customer attrition rates. The unamortized balance is included in prepaid expenses. As discussed above, the Company has reduced its marketing efforts in this business segment. There were no unamortized customer acquisition costs at June 30, 2001. The Company's expense for amortization of customer acquisition costs was $143,000 for the year ended June 30, 2001. The Company paid $565,000 for these marketing costs and amortization of the capitalized costs was $144,000 for the year ended June 30, 2001. The Company also incurs advertising costs that are not considered direct-response advertising. These other advertising costs are expensed when incurred. Advertising expense was $7,400 and $58,537 for the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 respectively. -26- Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a ------------------------ straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 3 to 5 years. Depreciation expense was $17,593 and $14,400 for the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 respectively. Revenue recognition - The Company's revenue is generated by long distance -------------------- calls made by its customers. Revenue is billed and recognized monthly based on the number of long distance minutes used. The Company utilizes outside companies to transmit billing data which is forwarded to LECs that provide local telephone service. Monthly long distance fees are included on the telephone bills of the customers. The Company recognizes revenue based on net billings accepted by the LECs. Net billings result from gross submittals reduced by billing records rejected by the LEC's and adjusted for resubmittals. Revenue is reported gross of fees charged by the billing company and the LEC's. Total fees paid to the billing company and the LEC's were $1,123,131 and $2,899,888 for the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 respectively. 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 the financial statements. Financial instruments - Financial instruments consist primarily of cash, ---------------------- accounts receivable, notes receivable and obligations under accounts payable, accrued expenses, and note payable. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The Company derives the fair value of its investments in marketable securities based on quoted market prices. The Company also has contracts with certain investee companies that provide anti-dilution and fair value depreciation protection for the Company as well as warrants to acquire additional shares of such investee companies. The fair value of the $50,000 note payable could not be estimated because the note is past due and the Company has had difficulties locating the note holder to settle the balance. 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. Net income per share is calculated using the weighted average number of ----------------------- shares of common stock outstanding for the year. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128 Earnings Per Share. -27- 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." The proforma effect of the fair value method is discussed in Note 12. Recently Issued Accounting Standards ------------------------------------ In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which is --------------------------------------------------------------------------- effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000 (as amended). This --------------------------------------------------------------------------- statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that --------------------------------------------------------------------------- derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset --------------------------------------------------------------------------- or liability measured at its fair value. The statement also requires that --------------------------------------------------------------------------- changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized in earnings unless --------------------------------------------------------------------------- specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The Company has not completed ------------------------------------------- evaluating the impact of implementing SFAS No. 133. However, it is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company. In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. SAB No. 101 summarizes the staff's views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. The Company believes it had previously applied the concepts of SAB 101 and the adoption of SAB No. 101 did not have a material effect on the Company's revenues or revenue recognition policy. 3. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE The Company has entered into a customer billing service agreement with Integretel, Inc. (IGT) on December 9, 1996 and was amended on July 28, 1997, whereby IGT provides billing and collection and related services. The Company uses an outside company to compile billing information which is provided directly to IGT for its monthly billings. Billings submitted are "filtered", or processed by IGT and the LEC's to conform with their formats for billings and to reject any records that may not have complete data. Net accepted billings are recognized as revenue and accounts receivable. Rejected records are then corrected and resubmitted. IGT and the LEC's charge fees for their services which are netted against the gross accounts receivable balance. IGT also applies holdbacks for the remittances of potentially uncollectible accounts. The IGT holdback balance at June 30, 2001 was $867,000. Generally, IGT holdbacks significantly exceed actual uncollectible account balances. The Company estimates uncollectible account balances and provides an allowance for such estimates. The Company factors its accounts receivable with recourse (Note 6). -28- 4. INVESTMENTS IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES Investments in marketable securities consisted of the following at June 30, 2001: Gross Unrealized Fair Cost Gains Losses Value ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Equity securities $3,196,133 $1,107,370 $(782,033) $3,521,470 The above reflects values before the effect of income taxes. The Company has invested in common stock and related warrants of several publicly traded companies. At June 30, 2001, the Company's investment in marketable securities is made in five different companies. The investment in one such company's securities represents approximately 56% and 40% of the estimated aggregate fair value of all investments in marketable securities at June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2001, respectively. The Company has an arrangement with one of the investee companies that provides the Company with a guarantee of $1,000,000 in value should the stock price fall below a point that reduces the current the value below such amount. At June 30, 2001, the value of the Company's holdings in that company was approximately $600,000 determined on the basis of the trading price of the stock at June 30, 2001. However, on the basis of that agreement, the Company recorded a value of $1,000,000 for holdings in that security considering that the entity is required to issue additional shares to the Company to meet the $1,000,000 guarantee. Proceeds from sales of equity securities were $194,000 and $2,232,888 and gross realized (losses) gains were ($16,468) and $1,670,979 for the years ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2001, respectively. The Company reclassified, under the equity method, its investment in an entity at a cost of $1,727,027 previously classified as an available for sale security (Note 12). Subsequent to June 30, 2001, the market value of investment securities held at June 30, 2001 had decreased by approximately $1,404,000. 5. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment consisted of the following at June 30, 2001: Office furniture $ 4,660 Computer equipment 81,657 Telecommunications equipment 1,650 ------------- Total 87,967 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization (64,375) ------------- Property and equipment - net $ 23,592 ============= -29- 6. ADVANCES FROM FACTOR On December 19, 1996, the Company entered into a Master Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Accounts with IGT which in substance is a factoring agreement. The terms of the agreement provide for advances at the lesser of the maximum purchase obligation of $5,000,000 or at a percentage of the total receivables that is based on historical uncollectible account data. Interest is charged monthly at a rate equal to the prime rate plus six percent applied to the average daily balance during the preceding month. An administrative fee equal to one tenth of one cent for each transaction record submitted to IGT is also charged monthly. In addition, an annual facility fee in an amount equal to one percent of the maximum purchase obligation is due on the anniversary date of the agreement. The advances and related fees are repaid by customer payments remitted directly to the factor. The agreement is secured by all accounts receivable whether or not specifically purchased by the factor. The balance at June 30, 2001 represents funds advanced in excess of customer payments received by factor and allowance reserve maintained by factor. 7. DISPUTED CLAIMS The Company is in dispute with certain vendors regarding their performance in accordance with service agreements. The Company concluded that the performance of these vendors did not meet the requirements of the agreements and is withholding payment for these services pending resolution with these vendors. These liabilities were incurred over a period of several years. The ultimate resolution of these liabilities could not be determined at June 30, 2001. 8. NOTE PAYABLE The Company had issued 9% convertible secured notes due December 31, 1998 with interest payable quarterly, escalating to 18.2% in years 2 through 6. The notes are convertible into 6,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $5.00 per share. The Company has attempted but has been unsuccessful in locating the payee. The Company intends to maintain the liability on its balance sheet until a claim is made and paid or the statute of limitations is run. Effective in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, the Company ceased accruing interest payable on this note. 9. INCOME TAXES The Company recognizes deferred income taxes for the differences between financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Income taxes for the years ended June 30, consisted of the following: 2001 2000 ---- ---- Current tax provision (benefit) $ (656,385) $2,129,947 Deferred tax provision (benefit) (134,133) (171,231) ------------ ----------- Total income tax provision (benefit) $ (790,518) $1,958,716 ============ =========== There was a short-term deferred tax liability at June 30, 2001 of $130,135 related to the unrealized gain on marketable securities. There was a current deferred tax asset of $305,364 at June 30, 2001. Those balances are comprised of the following: Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 59,232 Accrued compensation 246,132 ------------ Total assets 305,364 -30- Unrealized gains on investments (10,135) ------------ $ 295,229 ============ The Company utilized the deferred tax asset of $1,160,000 from net operating loss carryforwards of $3,408,000 in the year ended June30, 2000. A reconciliation for the differences between the effective and statutory income tax rates is as follows: 2001 2000 ---- ----- Federal statutory rates $(670,053) (34)% $1,631,872 34% State income taxes - net of federal benefit (128,098) (6.5)% 383,970 8% Other 7,633 0.5 (57,126) (1) % ---------- ------ ----------- ----- Effective rate $(790,518) (40)% $1,958,716 41% ========== ====== =========== ===== 10. LEASE The Company leases its office space under an operating lease expiring in April 2002. Rent expense was approximately $31,000 for the year ended June 30, 2001. Minimum annual lease payments for the year ended June 30, 2001 are approximately $22,000. The lease contains one 2-year renewal option. 11. NET (LOSS) 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 SFAS No. 128 Earnings Per Share. The following presents the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations: 2001 2000 ---- ---- Per Per Income Shares Share Income Shares Share ------------ ---------- ------- ---------- ---------- ------ Net (Loss) Income $(1,176,227) $2,840,906 ------------ ---------- BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE: Income available to Common Shareholders $(1,176,227) 15,273,785 $(0.08) $2,840,906 15,412,114 $ 0.18 EFFECT OF DILUTIVE SECURITIES - N/A 261,761 $ * ------------ ---------- ------- ---------- ---------- ------ DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE $(1,176,227) 15,273,785 $(0.08) $2,840,906 15,673,875 $ 0.18 ============ ========== ======= ========== ========== ====== * - less than $0.01 per share The computation for the loss per share for the year ended June 30, 2001excludes employee stock options exercisable into 1,268,534 shares of the Company's common stock. These common stock equivalents are excluded because inclusion would be anti-dilutive -31- The effect of dilutive securities for the year ended June 30, 2001, includes stock options assumed exercised for which the market value exceeds the exercise price, less shares which would have been purchased by the Company with the related proceeds. The effect of dilutive securities in the year ended June 30, 2001 is less than $0.01 per share. 12. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARY During the year ended June 30, 2001, the Company acquired an interest of approximately 40% of an entity that had been classified as an available for sale security. Because of the increased ownership, the Company reclassified its investment in this entity under the equity method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18. The investee, Morgan Cooper, Inc. reached an agreement with the Company whereby the Company acquired an additional interest and the Company's president would assume the same position with Morgan Cooper. Morgan Cooper, Inc. had ceased its existing operations prior to that time. The Company intends to assist in recapitalizing Morgan Cooper and is attempting to locate prospective merger candidates for Morgan Cooper. The Company had invested $1,727,000 in Morgan Cooper. Because of the uncertainties relative to the prospects of Morgan Cooper and the significant decline in the market value of its stock, the Company believed the carrying value was impaired and recognized an impairment write-down of $1,561,767 in the year ended June 30, 2001. There were no material operations of Morgan Cooper subsequent to the acquisition of the additional interest and therefore no recognition of the Company's income or loss of equity investee for the year ended June 30, 2001. 13. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY During the year ended June 30, 2001, warrants were exercised for 40,000 shares of common stock in the amount of $42,000. In the year ended June 30, 2001, the Company issued 300,000 shares of common stock at $0.09 per share to an officer who is the spouse of the CEO and majority shareholder as payment for services rendered in a previous year. The Company cancelled 60,000 shares of common stock previously issued and valued at $1,200 during the year ended June 30, 2001. The shares were originally issued for future legal services and those services were never received. Stock Options and Warrants The Company issues stock options from time to time to executives and key employees. The Company has a qualified stock option plan for its key employees, consultants and independent contractors. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and continues to account for stock based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the stock options granted. There were no options granted in the year ended June 30, 2001 nor were any of the previously granted options -32- vested. Therefore, there is no pro forma effect for the year ended June 30, 2001. There were 1,268,534 options granted in the year ended June 30, 2001. 2000 ---- Net income - as reported $ 2,840,906 Net income - pro forma $ 2,587,199 Income per share - as reported $ 0.18 Income per share - pro forma $ 0.17 Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the number of proportionately vested options granted of 338,276 for the year ended June 30, 2001, were used to determine net earnings and earnings per share under a pro forma basis. There were 1,268,534 options granted in the year ended June 30, 2001. During the year ended June 30, 200, the Company adopted a stock option plan for key employees and outside directors. Options are to be granted at the discretion of a non-employee committee of the board of directors. The plan reserves 1,750,000 shares for the granting of options. All of the options granted in the year ended June 30, 2001 were subject to vesting provisions on the basis of annual increasing pre-tax income. The vesting provisions were not met in the year ended June 30, 2001 and therefore no additional vesting occurred in the year. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions for year ended June 30, 2001: Dividend yield None Volatility 1.074 Risk free interest rate 6.00% Expected asset life 5 years A summary of activity for the Company's stock options and warrants is presented below: 2001 2000 ---- ---- Exercise Exercise Options Price OPTIONS Price --------- --------- --------- Options outstanding at July 1, 1,268,543 $ 1.00 0 Granted 0 1,268,534 $ 1.00 Exercised 0 0 Terminated/Expired 0 0 --------- --------- Options outstanding at June 30, 1,268,543 $ 1.00 1,268,534 $ 1.00 Options available for grant at June 30, 481,466 481,466 Price per share of options outstanding $ 1.00 $ 1.00 Options exercisable at June 30, 338,276 338,276 Weighted average remaining contractual lives 9 years 10 years -33- Weighted average exercise price of options granted N/A $ 1.00 Weighted Average fair value of options granted during the year N/A $ 0.75 The Company has the following common stock warrants outstanding at June 30, 2001: Warrants Price EXPIRATION -------- ------ Warrants outstanding at July 1, 2000 10,000 $ 1.05 November 2001 Expired 0 Exercised 0 -------- Warrants outstanding at June 30, 2001 10,000 $ 1.05 November 2001 ======== -34- 14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company purchased marketable securities from the Company's President and Secretary in the year ended June 30, 2001. The Company advanced funds of $235,000 to the President during the year under a note receivable and recognized interest income on the note of approximately $12,000. The Company and its president agreed to exchange 600,000 shares of marketable securities held personally by the President as payment for the note receivable. The value of the transaction was $0.48 per share, the trading value of the securities at the time of the agreement. The Company advanced funds during the year June 30, 2001 to two entities for which the Company's President and Secretary are the sole shareholders. One of these entities is the majority shareholder of the Company. The Company reacquired 170,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for the balance of the advances made and note receivable of approximately $642,000 or at $3.78 per share. The number of shares was determined on the basis of the trading price of the Company's common stock at the date of transaction. The shares are recorded as treasury stock at June 30, 2001. The note bore interest at 8%. The Company paid $10,000 and $30,000 in consulting fees to the spouse of beneficial majority shareholder during the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 respectively. During the year ended June 30, 2001, the Company sold certain investments made by the Company represented by 428,571 shares of common stock of an investee to the Company's President for $60,000 equaling the Company's cost and market value at the date of the transaction. 15. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Company maintains approximately 40% of its investments in marketable securities with three brokerage firms. Accounts at each firm are insured up to $500,000 by the Security Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). At June 30, 2001 investment values exceeded the insured limit by $390,000. Approximately 88% of the fair value of marketable securities is comprised of securities of two entities. All of the Company's accounts receivable balance is held and collectible through a single entity that provides the billing and collection services for the Company. The Company relies on reports from this billing company to reconcile billing and collection records. The Company receives its cash receipts from the billing company and relies on the amounts reported and received from the billing company. The Company may dispute amounts received and withheld by the billing company but such events may have a negative effect on liquidity. -35- 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES On June 1, 2000 the Company entered into a new three-year employment agreement with its President and Chief Executive Officer. The agreement provides for a base salary and certain benefits plus an annual bonus up to $200,000. The bonus is to be paid in cash in increments of $10,000 for each one percent increase in the pre-tax profits of the Company measured in relation to the prior fiscal year's pre-tax profit beginning with the year ended June 30, 2001. Pre-tax profit shall include unrealized gains and losses but shall exclude any extraordinary items.
