(the "Company" or FFCI) is a multi-faceted communications and marketing company. The company is divided into separate operating divisions. The divisions are (a) AMERICAN WIRELESS, INC. a wireless cable television company serving Southern Utah. This division has a cable television subscriber base of approximately 1900 residential homes. The company has been in business for 6 (six) years. (b) PARADISE PAGING AND CELLULAR a retail operation currently consisting of five locations in Florida and Utah. The division sells pagers, cellular phones, accessories, repair services, and air time to the local consumer. Markets. The company has been in business for four years. (c) LAN SOURCE a provider of networking and internet services to both commercial and individual customers. The company provides installation and service contracts in Southern Utah. The company is three years old. (d) SUMMIT MEDIA AND PRODUCTION This division was formerly known as Summit Advertising Group but was reformed via Summit Media and Production, Inc. This new entity will focus primarily on media production for T.V. and radio commercials. As FFCI became more involved with full service advertising, infomercial production and sales, and the Catalog Channel, it made a business decision to restructure its advertising division. The preexisting Summit Advertising Group, Inc. was resold back to the original parties for what FFCI paid for it. This new entity was filed with the State of Florida in August, 1999. This new division provides commercial and infomercial productions for the business community. The company writes, films, produces, and places radio, television, and print advertising for business. This division will be responsible for media production for "the Catalog Channel". (e) SPECIALIZED MOBILE RADIO (SMR) this division sells and repairs two way radios, and provides air time to commercial clients in Dade and Broward county Florida. The SMR's have been generating minimal revenues since 1996. The Company entered into a joint venture agreement with the Henely Group, Inc. on or about June 11, 1998, for the development of remote monitoring device for cardiac patients. The venture dissolved due to the lack of the SMR equipment manufacturers from developing and producing a portable receiver transmitter unit. The Company acquired 9 separate partnerships collectively known as "the Alliance" which were purchased separately for the amount of $200,000 per site specific license paid in the form of company stock at the rate of $7.00 per share. (Attached) (f) MB BROADCASTING An eleven year old advertising and media production company serving the Western United States. (g) THE CATALOG CHANNEL a developmental stage company that will become an internet- cable television- 24 hour shopping channel. The Company entered into a contractual agreement with Jones Space Holdings to lease SATCOM3 Transponder 20 for the next five years. (Attached) The Company entered into a contractual agreement with Tiger eye, Inc., a television broadcast company, which will provide coverages ranging from 6hrs. to 24hrs. seven days per week to its individual affiliate stations with 2 approximately 5.2 million households in the corresponding viewing areas. (Attached) The first on air broadcasts began in September, 1999.(Attached) The Company has entered into a contractual agreement with The Video Catalog Channel which will provide a guaranteed revenue of $40,000.00 per month. (Attached) The company believes that the future of the company will be dependant on the success of "the Catalog Channel" and the division which supports its growth, Summit Media and Production. The company (FFCI) will determine the future of Paradise Cellular and Paging, SMR, American Wireless, Inc., and MB Broadcasting within the next twelve months. The LanSource acquisition has been recinded by FFCI for the return of the original stock given and has received equitable value in the form of services and merchandise for any revenues invested by FFCI during its time of ownership. (Attached) BACKGROUND: The Articles of Incorporation were filed on April 1, 1996, in the State of Florida as a Florida Corporation by the incorporators: Paul Richard Bell, Jr. and Richard P. Greene and an experienced team of engineering, technical, and marketing professionals to enter into the communications industry. The Company had acquired the rights to a group of 220 MHZ Specialized Mobile Radio licenses in 30 cities throughout the United States to provide two-way radio communications. FOCI has expanded its operations to include wireless cable television, paging and cellular retail stores, advertising, media production, and business communications and Internet operation solutions. In 1999, the Company launched a 24-hour television shopping network "The Catalog Channel." DIVISIONS AND SERVICES: The Company's services are varied and are carried out through the diverse operating divisions within the Company with each division being a separate subsidiary. The divisions within the company are the following: ENTITY DATE ACQUIRED COST/STOCK-SHARES ASSUMT. DEBT - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paradise Cellular/Paging October, 1998 $350,000/43,750 $10,000.00 MB Broadcasting January, 1999 $3,000,000/600,000 00.00 American Wireless May, 1999 $7,900,000/1,200,000 00.00 Summit Advertising Group March, 1999 $1,500,000/300,000 00.00 Catalog Channel March, 1999 $100,000/ N/A 00.00 Lan Source June, 1999 $600,000/85,714 00.00 PARADISE CELLULAR AND PAGING: This is a retail entity that sell pagers, cellular phones, does repair work, and is a reseller of paging and cellular air time. This subsidiary has 9 full time employees and is headed by Ronald Stull. The subsidiary currently has 4 stores in South Florida and one in Salt Lake City, Utah. The company anticipated opening as many as 24 stores within one year; however, the plans were changed based upon the diversion of capital to fund the Catalog Channel. The Company anticipates opening as many as three more stores within the next 12 months. The monies used to open these stores will come from FFCI revenues. FFCI had originally planned to be opening 24 stores per year based upon its franchise and business plan. With the time, energies, and investitures involved in its other divisions, FFCI has made a business decision to proceed with its Paradise division on a slower and smaller scale. SMR DIVISION: Provides two-way radio sales, services, and air time to commercial business. The division has the license rights to 50 220 MHZ 5-channel locations throughout the United States. At the present time, due to lack of a functioning portable radio for the commercial end user, only one 5-channel system in Miami, Florida has subscribers on line. Portables for 220 SMR MP1327 have been type accepted for production by the FCC, but due to the cost factors to supply the marketplace, the 3rd party manufactures (Midland, E F Johnson, and Securicor) 3 have not manufactured the portable for the retail marketplace, Motorola, Inc. is manufacturing the radios for U.S. export only. FFCI is not in a financial position to become a manufacturer. It is anticipated that portable radios will be available in the future and then the Specialized Mobile Radio ("SMR") Systems will become active sources of revenue for FFCI. FFCI had the license rights to 70 different site locations. FFCI chose, due to an in house marketing decision, to develop only 50 sites. Only one SMR system is currently in retail operation with customers, The revenue a site will generate is based on a set monthly fee based on a contract of 1-2 or 3 years. On January 15, 1998, the Company purchased the license, equipment, and site rights for the Miami, Florida license owned by MacMillan Bell Group, Inc. for a total of 500,000 shares of company stock at $1.00 per share. The Company acquired 40 of its 220 SMR licenses from MacMillan Bell Group, Inc. on May 26, 1998, which included all equipment on the individual tower cites for a total of 3,710,526 shares of restricted common FFCI stock based on a $1.00 per share value. The principals of MacMillan Bell Group, Inc. were Paul Richard Bell, Sr. and Christina Bell, the Father and Sister of Paul Richard Bell, Jr., the President of FFCI. The Company also acquired 9 separate, individual general partnerships which were collectively known as "the Alliance" which were purchased separately for the amount of $200,000 per site specific license paid in the form of company stock at the rate of $7.00 per share. Each individual partnership had approximately 40-50 partners, none of whom were related to any company employees. All licenses acquired by the company were free of any litigation associated with the former owner nor any of the principals in the former corporations or partnerships. MB BROADCASTING: This media production and advertising company was acquired in 1998. They produce infomercials and a television news show for Southern Utah. The division has nine full-time employees who are media writers, graphic design artists, computer specialists and two full-time sales representatives. MB owns four television translators and brings two major television signals (Fox and NBC) into their marketplace. A television translator is defined in Section 74.731 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. (a) Television broadcast translator stations provide a means whereby the signals of television broadcast stations may be retransmitted to areas in which direct reception of such television broadcast stations is unsatisfactory due to distance or intervening terrain barriers. MB Broadcasting "brings In" or by means of translators "rebroadcasts" the primary signal of Major Market Television stations into the Southern Utah area. These translators have been assigned (by the FCC) call signs/call letters. The Station KDLQ-TV Channel 55 rebroadcasts the signal of KSTU-TV (FOX Salt Lake City, Utah) MB also operates KVBT-TV Channel 41 which rebroadcasts the signal of KVBC-TV (NBC Las Vegas, Nevada) In September, 1999, the Company signed an agreement in which MB Broadcasting would manage 4 radio stations which broadcast in the Southern Utah area along the I-15 corridor between Salt Lake City, Utah, and Las Vegas, Nevada, which doubled their gross billing of over $120,000.00 for the month of October, 1999. Prior to the addition of Summit Media and Production it was anticipated that MB Broadcasting would provide the production and engineering for the Catalog Channel. This is no longer the case. SUMMIT ADVERTISING GROUP: Summit Advertising Group is being reformed via Summit Media and Production, Inc. This new entity will focus primarily on media production for T.V. and radio commercials. As FFCI became more involved with full service advertising, infomercial production and sales, and the Catalog Channel, it made a business decision to restructure its advertising division. The preexisting Summit Advertising Group, Inc. was resold back to the original parties for what FFCI paid for it. This new entity was filed with the State of Florida in August, 1999, as SUMMIT MEDIA AND PRODUCTION, INC. This new "Summit" is currently operating out of the companies corporate headquarters in Davie, Florida, and headed by Wayne Wiggins, two time emmy award winning director. 4 THE CATALOG CHANNEL: This subsidiary will be a 24-hour television shopping network featuring brand name catalogs combining the print catalog, television, and the Internet e-commerce shopper. The Catalog Channel has completed an agreement to lease a transponder on SatCom 3 which will cover North America, including Canada, the United States, and Mexico. It is anticipated that The Catalog Channel will have 20 million households on cable systems it will service within 12 months after its initial launch anticipated during the late summer or early fall of 1999. The Catalog Channel currently is broadcast to over 5,000,000 homes with a new agreement to reach an additional 3,000,000 homes. FFCI's Catalog Channel will bring to the buying public a convergence of the print catalog, the cable television home shopping experience, and Internet e-commerce business. The Catalog Channel brings to consumers brand name catalogs with the ability to run specials from the catalog and to drive people to the Internet e-commerce site with more special prices built around brand name catalog identities that consumers know and trust. By combining the catalog industry's diverse product inventory, merchandising expertise, in-place fulfillment organizations and trusted consumers' relationships with Internet-based sales tools and developing brand identity, The Catalog Channel will deliver the first complete catalog shopping experience - PRINT, TELEVISION, and ON-LINE. Although FFCI is developing the catalog media productions, the necessary cable operators for the number of households, and alliances with the Internet e-commerce providers, The Catalog Channel's success hinges on the three interrelated nontechnical factors which include: (1) alliances with catalog merchant partners who provide the content, (2) branding the first complete convergence of the catalog shopping experience - print, television, and on-line, and (3) a reputation for quality customer service and a safe, user-friendly shopping environment. The Catalog Channel will be well-positioned for success in the convergence of print, television, and on-line for the catalog business. AMERICAN WIRELESS: A Southwestern Utah provider of wireless cable television. There are currently approximately 2,000 subscribers paying an average of $30.00 per month for service. The company sells and services the subscriber needs on this 140-channel system. In the Spring of 1999, this subsidiary began a joint venture with communications giant Motorola to implement a high-speed wireless Internet delivery system. The tests and implementation as of June 23, 1999, were underway in St. George, Utah. The acquisition of American Wireless was accomplished by contractual agreements of stock transfer with individual stock holders of American Wireless. In January of 1999 we had acquired approx. 47% of American Wireless stock and by May of 1999 we had acquired approx. 92% of the total outstanding stock. (Attached you'll find the Motorola agreement between American Wireless and Motorola). ACQUISITIONS OF OTHER COMPANIES AND/OR PRODUCT LINES: The Company has had, and will continue to have, discussions from time to time with potential acquisition candidates. CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS: CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS The Company has seven distinct types of client relationship depending on the Division of the company, the customer deals with. 1. PARADISE CELLULAR AND PAGING These customers are all retail clients who purchase goods and services through retail stores. The customers can purchase cellular phones, pagers, accessories (cases, batteries, etc.) repair services, and monthly service for new or existing pagers (Paradise is a reseller of airtime for airtime service providers such as City Beepers, Page Net, Priority Paging, Mobilcom, TSR inc., ABC Paging, Air Page, Pagenet, Alpha Net, and Pro Page. Currently the company is an authorized agent for Primco for cellular phones. The company is currently negotiating with ATT and Sprint to become a reseller. 5 2. SPECIALIZED MOBILE RADIO These customers are retail clients who purchase two-way radio communication equipment, repair, and service. The customers are basically transportation, deliveries, or service providers (such as electricians, plumbers, tow trucks, etc.) The company currently is operating the Miami site only and has approximately 200 customers at a rate of $18.00 per month. 3. AMERICAN WIRELESS This company division provides wireless cable television service to approximately 1900 subscribers in Southern Utah. The customer profile is primarily a residential client paying a monthly rate of $25.00 for basic services and additional fees for premium and pay per view channels. 4. MB BROADCASTING This company division provides advertising and production services to business clients in Southern Utah. This division designs, writes, produces, and films multimedia advertising pieces for clients ranging from car dealerships, retail stores, and various service providers. 5. SUMMIT MEDIA AND PRODUCTION The division is newly formed to provide programming production for "the Catalog Channel" and the general business market needing professional advertising services for commercial and infomercial media production. 6. THE CATALOG CHANNEL the company will have relationships with the providers of products for resale over its television broadcast and with the consumer market who purchases the products shown. The consumers will be dealing directly with the product providers by way of toll free numbers or web sites. As the company grows it may produce and sell its own products to the consumers in the future. Initially the clients are infomercial providers such as Anthony Robbins, Orange Glo, Thigh Master, etc. GOVERNMENT REGULATION: The Company will be subject to applicable provisions of federal and state securities laws and to regulations specifically governing the communications industry. The operations of the Company will also be subject to regulations normally incident to business operations (e.g. occupational safety and health acts, workmen's compensation statutes, unemployment insurance legislation and income tax and social security related regulations). Although the Company will make every effort to comply with applicable regulations, it can provide no assurance of its ability to do so, nor can it predict the effect of these regulations on its proposed activities. The Specialized Mobile Radio (SMR) and the Paradise Cellular and Paging Divisions are not only regulated by applicable state and federal laws concerning sales practices, but also by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) rules and regulations as to the ownership and use of SMR licenses. FCCI is the owner and or manager of fifty 220-222 MHz radio service licenses. These licenses allow two way voice, data, and paging communication. On February 19, 1997, the FCC adopted the 220 MHz Third Report and Order. The FCC guidelines gives 220 MHz its operating rules and requirements, The FCC licenses that are owned by FFCI must be kept up in operating status and renewed every five years. Each license gives the location site of the antennae, the power output for the equipment, the necessary height of the antennae, and the licenses renewal date. FFCI has a designated department to keep up with its license obligations. Currently, only one license (Miami) is in full commercial operation. The other 220 MHz licenses are being kept in FCC compliance, The renewal cost for each license for a five year period is approximately $150.00 including FCC filing fees and associated legal and labor costs. 6 INDUSTRY AND COMPETITION: The communications industry continues to evolve at a phenomenal rate. Internet - online consumer spending is projected to increase from $7.8 billion in 1938 to $108 billion in 2003. The primary drivers for this growth are the increase of households with Internet access and an even greater acceptance of online shopping among consumers. The percentage of U.S. households that use the Internet has increased from l4% in 1995 to 41% in 1998. The Company has made a business decision to focus its time and energies on the development and growth of the Catalog Channel. The Company is well placed with its advertising and media production companies to enter into the television shopping industry with its new division "The Catalog Channel." The print-based catalog industry sells more than $100 billion worth of products each year to approximately 150 million consumers worldwide. Last year, in the United States, approximately 15,000 catalog merchants mailed more than 13.9 billion paper catalogs at a cost of 70 cents per delivered catalog. Over the past 35 years remote shopping offered by merchants has improved significantly, including the quality of the presentation, diversity of product selection, improvements in fraud prevention, quick delivery of product, personalization of product mix and customer service. In the last 10 years television shopping networks have become very important avenues for merchandise sales. In 1998, QVC had almost $2.4 billion in sales revenue and The Home Shopping Network did $1 billion in sales. Both networks were on cable television systems with approximately 70 million households each. The consumer demand for more television channels seems to be boundless. Wireless cable can now provide hundreds of television channels for consumers to choose from in the "digital" age. And now the wireless cable operator can deliver not only television, but data, Internet and telephony services as well, The catalog industry has worldwide revenues of more than $100 billion and serves more than 150 million consumers. Approximately 17,000 catalog merchants mail almost 14 billion paper catalogs in the U.S. These merchants range in size from $500 million industry giants to Whom and Pop" operations that create catalogs in their homes. In 1996, the U.S. catalog industry was evenly divided between business to business and consumer catalogs. This market tends to be highly skewed in favor of the top 200 to 300 firms, which control more than 80% of the market. The catalog industry has existed for many years. However, between the 1960s and 1995, a combination of demographics changes, technology improvements and government regulations caused a rapid growth in the number and quality of mail order catalogs. These factors include (1) more women working with less time to shop, (2) higher education among shoppers with greater willingness to buy at a distance, (3) computer databases, (4) credit card popularity, and (5) FTC regulations that removed fraudulent merchants. The industry continues to grow both in terms of consumer acceptance and in the markets that it reaches. Globalization has helped to create more than 9,000 catalog companies in the USA, France and Germany. Consumer direct marketing sales are forecasted to grow by 7.7% annually from 1998 to 2003 compared to US consumer sales that are forecasted to grow 5% annually. Marketing sector competition includes the current home shopping networks (i.e. QVC and Home Shopping Network), catalog agregators (i.e. Catalog Site), non-specialty Internet e-commerce players, category killer commerce sites (i.e. Amazon.com) and product search engines and price comparison software. The SMR subsidiary is undergoing rapid change. The two way radio business (SMR) has been primarily the communication systems of choice for private service and delivery businesses and public service providers (police, fire, and ambulance). The SMR industry sold mobile and portable phones at a 20-30% retail markup and charged air time use on a contractual basis for between $15-$25 per radio per month. The cost of airtime was in the $1-$5 ranges. These rates and charges made for a profitable industry based on the number of radios and airtime sold. For example: an SMR system (1-FCC license) with 500 radios and therefore 500 air time subscribers @ $20.00 per month would have generated a monthly revenue of $10,000 gross and a net 7 (gross minus tower site and maintenance costs (averaging $1,500 per month) of $8,500 per month. However, in today's competitive climate, Nextel and other cellular companies are virtually giving away the radios at cost or even a loss and then charging by the minute with per minute charges as low as five cents, The communications market as far as SMR is now highly competitive and the profit margins are dropping rapidly, The future for specialized mobile radio will see net profits declining from past numbers, The question to be answered is will the cost of the SMR radios drop in price to become more competitive with Nextel and the cellular marketplace, FFCI believes SMR's will stay competitive and will continue to grow because the SMR" at $20.00 per month unlimited talk is still a better price than even 5 cents per minute being offered by the competitors. The key will be the marketing efforts on behalf of the SMR" to the business company end users and decision makers. The Paradise Paging subsidiary faces competition from within the paging industry itself. The retail prices of pagers continue to give the company profit margins of 30% and more (example: the most popular retail pager is the Motorola LS 550 which sells for $69.95 and the cost is $45.00). The competition for clients is focusing on the cost of air time. Paradise is a reseller of air time to the end user. IN the Paradise market place the retail price of local pager air time has declined from $12.00 per month to the current average monthly rates of $4.00 per month. The cost of local air time is between 50 cents and one dollar per month. The profit margins even though they have declined significantly are still very substantial. The future of paging continues to be both very competitive and very bright. Two way paging and the alpha numeric pagers continue to gain new market shares. American Wireless Inc., the wireless cable operator in Southern Utah, is faced with continuing competition. The cable industry in general due to mergers is becoming increasingly competitive and cable revenues, though increasing, are declining in net profits. The local cable television competitor is Falcon Cable which has been bought out by one of the founders of Microsoft, Paul Allen, this year, 1999. To maintain a competitive position, American Wireless must become a fully digital system. Today American Wireless is half analog and 1/2 digital. This situation cannot continue to compete on an equal basis with its competitors Digital offers over 100 channels in comparison to Analog which only offers 32. Both cable operators charge approx. the same basic fees ($25.00 per mth). Falcon Cable with its "deep pockets" continues to add to its channel selection It is questionable whether American Wireless can successfully compete in its local market place without a very large infusion of capital (approx. $4M). FFCI at this time does not have the resources to provide the necessary capital. The relationship with American Wireless is tenuous at the very best. EMPLOYEES: The Company currently employs 35 full-time professionals. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION The auditors concern in the 1997-98 audited financial statements are based on historical information as to the companies losses and limited revenue growth. To this end, the auditors talked with both major outside investors that committed to continuing to fund the company during the development stage. This discussion involved the amount of the commitment and the level of expectation from First Florida. The Company had revenue of $102,102 for the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to $45,161 for the year ended December 31, 1997, an increase of $59,941 or 126%. Cost of sales were $96,662 for the 1998 period in comparison to $31,265 for the 8 1997 period, an increase of $65,397 or 209%. Operating Costs and Expenses were $791,731 for the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to $225,933 for the year ended December 31, 1997, an increase of $565,798 or 2S0%. Net cash (used) in Operating Activities for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 was ($483,441) and ($222) receptively. The change in cash from operating activities was $483,212. Net cash used in investing activities was ($4,986) and $425) for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 respectively, reflecting a change of ($4,561). This was a result of an acquisition of furniture and fixtures from Paradise International. The Company's financing activities included proceeds from acquisitions in exchange for common stock and stock warrant conversions. The Company's financing activities resulted in net cash provided from the exercising of stock warrants in the amount of $500,600 for the year ended December 31, 1998. Their were no financing activities in period ending 1997. The Company's material capital commitments are the lease of Satcom3 Transponder 20 with Jones Space Holdings, the contractual obligation with Tiger eye for broadcast television stations, and 220SMR tower site rentals. The Company will be able to fund those capital commitments through its revenues from the Catalog Channel which includes the contract with the Video Catalog Channel and the deconstruction of tower sites which eliminates those tower site rentals. The Company believes it will be able to fund its short term cash needs through funds from operations and additional capital raising efforts which include the future registration of shelf stock, a secondary offering, and continued support from our current venture capitalist, Venture Capital USA. Net income (loss) increased from a loss of ($212,037) for the year ended December 31, 1997, to a net loss of ($786,291) for the year ended December 31, 1998, a change of ($574,254) or 270~. The increases in losses from December 31, 1997 to December 31, 1998 was the introduction and additions of cellular phone, paging services, and acquisition of one group of nine Alliance partnership 220 MHZ licenses and a second acquisition of 41 220 licenses and equipment from a non-operating specialized mobile radio company. The Company's management believes there is tremendous opportunity in these new sites and licenses, as well as a good fit with the strategic direction of combining like business in the wireless industry. The effect of these additional sites and licenses will be reflected in 1999. As the need for data delivery systems becomes more of a revenue factor in our SMR communications systems, we believe the revenue from using the systems from data will at some point in the future surpass the us of voice revenue. The FCC licenses allows for voice, paging, and data. The future of SMR is in the us of data transmission where there is little competition. Whereas in the voice market, the competition will always be with the cellular carriers. It is anticipated that Motorola and other manufacturers will begin to release data hardware onto the market during 1999 or the year 2000. It is also a distinct posiblity the company will find buyers for some of its SMR sites. At December 31, 1998, the Company had total assets of $4,204,594 and total liabilities of $416,447. The Company has working capital of $12,587 as of December 31, 1998, as compared to $414 as of December 31, 1997. The Company currently has had the following significant subsequent acquisition events in 1999: In January 1999, the Company acquired all the stock of MB Broadcasting, Inc., for shares of common stock. MB Broadcasting is a Utah cable television and TV production company. In March 1999, the Company acquired the net assets of Summit Advertising, which has been reformed as Summit Media and Production, for $100,000 in cash and shares of common stock. In so doing, the 9 Company has been able to have the original Company stock returned and replaced in the Company treasury. In June 1999, the Company acquired LanSource, an Internet design and services company for shares of common stock, which as previously stated has been rescinded and all expenditures and stock have been replaced into the Company treasury. In June 1999, the Company acquired approximately 90% of American Wireless, a wireless cable and wireless Internet service provider for shares of common stock. In conjunction with the four 1999 acquisitions and subsequent events, the Company has received funding from two private sources as follows: 1. $1.2 million as exercise of outstanding warrants, Venture Capital USA. In response to the Company's June 12, 1998, press release entitled, "First Florida Communications Inc. Acquires US $1.5 Million Expansion Funding", All communications with "International Index Savings Portfolio Ltd." Went through Venture Capital USA. Venture Capital USA was who we had the $1.5 Million dollar agreement with; "Index" was one agency that Venture Capital USA had a commitment from or with. Venture terminated their agreement with "Index" and continued to provide funds to FFCI as agreed on. There was only one agreement between FFCI and Venture Capital USA to provide $1.5 million dollars. The warrants were issued as per the Venture Capital USA agreement. 2. $900,000 as exercise of warrants by Global Asset Management. During the second quarter, 1999, the Company has also announced the 1. Formation of a new subsidiary, The Catalog Channel, which first aired in September, 1999, using elements and management talent from all the recently acquired companies and the Company. 2. The resignation of Paul Richard Bell, founder, as President and Chief Executive Officer and the appointment of Douglas Costa as President and Chief Executive Officer. The Company's management believes that with the recent capital infusions and the eminent launch The Cable Channel, the Company is positioned to greatly enhance its revenue growth and value during 1999. Financial notes and explanations: (1) The company earns revenues from various services and products. In regards to SAFAS 131, at the time we filed our original audit the only revenue producer was Paradise on a cash basis. (2) Our revenue recognition policy as per APB OPINION 22 - as of 12-31-98 same as above. (3) Our comprehensive income/loss is the same as our net income/loss. (4) [attached the '98 financial statements for Paradise] The Alliance group, the individual 220 SMR partnerships that we acquired had no financials and no revenues. For compliance, we verified their licenses and assets. (5) In accordance with APB OPINION 16, paragraph 96, FFCI acquired the assets, net of liabilities of Paradise International Connection on October 1, 1998 in a transaction of 43,750 shares of common stock with a net valuation of $30,804, using the Purchase method of accounting. Acquisition price was $350,000 paid in the form of stock. The acquired company, Paradise, consisted of two small retail stores that sell communications products and services, based in Ft. Lauderdale, Broward County, Florida. As Paradise was a sole propriortership, prior to acquisition by FFCI, the financial 10 statements presented for 1998 only include operations for the three months of October, November, & December, 1998. Goodwill of 319,195 was recognized and immediately written off. No contingent payments, options or commitments were specified or included in the agreement. Consideration (issuance of FFCI stock) was issued immediately following the transaction and no contingency period remains. (6) FFCI accounted for the acquisiton of communication equipment and 41 FCC licenses from the MacMillan Bell Group, Inc. We recorded these assets at less than historical costs and reduced those assets by 25% as impaired assets since they were non-performing. FFCI was founded by Paul Richard Bell, JR with Paul Richard Bell, SR. being a majority stock holder of 2.6M shares for his sale of MacMillan Bell Assets to FFCI. FFCI had some SMR licenses and miscellaneous furniture, etc. at a value of less than $50,000.00. (7) As of December 1998, 1.2M warrants outstanding to Venture Capital USA. (8) Our depreciating methods for fixed assets is as follows: Straight Line Depreciation for Office and tower equipment 3-5 years. (9) The Company's accounting policy for assessing impairment based upon SFAS 121 is to amortize the FCC licenses over the life of the service for which they are issued by the FCC. The life expectancy is for 5 years and they are renewable with a new life term of an additional 5 years. (10) The company believes it will need $5M over the next 12 months to continue to expand and implement its revenue sources. The Company has a commitment from Venture Capital USA to fund $5M based upon the company becoming a reporting company. YEAR 2000 ISSUE: The primary business of the Company has become the Catalog Channel. GE Satcom3 transponder 20, which is leased from Jones Space Holdings, has informed the company they have reported to the FCC that they are in full compliance for the Y2K. Each television station that carries the company's broadcast must be in full compliance for Y2K based on their FCC license requirements. The company is involved in selling communications devices and services based in South Florida, USA. The company's principal markets are local, within 50 miles of Ft. Lauderdale, FL. The company is in the process of acquiring complementing business in other sections of the United States. FFCI's computer systems for accounting, administrative and sales are PC's with standard, off the shelf software (Microsoft) that is upgradable and compliant for Year 2000. These PC's are stand alone and not networked. 95% of FFCI's business is cash and carry, retail sales that are recorded the day of the transaction. The company's operating officer took a survey of major vendors and suppliers to determine if our major suppliers were able and capable to ship product, under adverse Year 2000 problems. FFCI determined that we could continue to place orders and receive orders on manually prepared paperwork, as long as communication devices are available. In the event of telecommunications failure, FFCI can procure locally the necessary materials to continue sales efforts. In the event of shipping company failures, FFCI can pick up materials, locally. All FFCI service centers that are currently operating are within driving distance of less that 50 miles from company headquarters. Repair parts and equipment can also be procured locally; with the same stipulations as noted above on materials for sales.' The company does not anticipate any material interruption, however, in a worse case scenario, the replacement of PC's and office software is estimated at 11 less that $25,000. Replacement of other, outside software; used for service is estimated at less than $10,000. In the worse case scenario, this would materially effect sales efforts with a range of 0 to $22,000 per month. This would reflect a loss of an additional $264,000 if annualized. The company does not have a key IT assigned person, as duties are shared with several individuals. At present, the company does not have any material contracts with customers or suppliers, which represent any portion of sale greater than two percent. Risk considerations that can materially effect the company would be a complete collapse of telecommunications and utilities with regulated carrier infrastructure. The company believes this is highly unlikely. ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY The Company's offices are located at 5625 South University Drive, Davie, Florida 33328. The lease ends December 1999, with a rent expense of $4,000 per month. The Company also leases retail store space under operating lease agreements. The future rental obligations for Paradise retail stores of the Company are as follows: Hollywood Miramar 1999 11,800 4,800 The Company also has certain tower rent obligations that were assumed as part of the acquisition of prior telecommunications tower rent liabilities. These tower rent leases are currently being renegotiated and revised to reflect the change of ownership and equipment on the sites. Towers are deconstructed when they are non-operational. At that time there can be no liens placed upon the communications equipment on that tower site.

See Accompanying Notes To The Financial Statements 5 FIRST FLORIDA COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1998 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF OPERATIONS First Florida Communications, Inc., (the Company) was incorporated in the State of Florida on April 1, 1996 to acquire FCC licenses, broadcast rights, and provide services to sell equipment in the wireless communication industry. (The Company is still in the development stage). The majority of the company's assets are for the "220 Megahertz" specialized mobile radio and paging business. The accompanying financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described below and elsewhere in the accompanying financial statements and notes. A. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results can differ from those estimates. B. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks, and any highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at several financial institutions which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. At December 31, 1998 there is no concentration of credit risk from uninsured bank balances. C. INVENTORIES Inventories (stated at the lower of cost of market) are primarily cellular telephones, beepers, ancillary products and communication parts. D. DEPRECIATION Furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements are carried at cost. Communications equipment, acquired for common stock, is carried at estimated fair market value. Depreciation of property is provided for based on estimated useful lives (generally 3 to 10 years) using straight line methods. 6 FIRST FLORIDA COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1998 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) E.) AMORTIZATION The PCC licenses are being amortized over a twenty-year period using the straight line method. F.) EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Primary earnings per common share are computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the year. The number of shares used for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 were 1,666,186 and 93,429, respectively. Common stock equivalents were not used due to their delusive effects. NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Standards 109 of "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under FASB 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The Company has net operating losses (NOL's) of approximately $1,00,000 expiring in the years 2011 through 2013. Deferred tax benefit $ 318,000 Valuation allowance (318,000) Net Benefit -0- Due to the uncertainty of utilizing the NOL and recognizing the deferred tax benefit an offsetting valuation allowance has been provided. NOTE 3 - LEASES The Company leases office and retail store space under operating lease agreements. The future minimum rental obligations of the Company are as follows: 1999: $ 66,000 2000: $ 22,000 The Company has renewal options on these leases at their discretion. 7 FIRST FLORIDA COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1998 NOTE 3 - LEASES (CONTINUED) As part of the acquisition of communications equipment, the Company assumed approximately $206,000 of prior telecommunications tower rent liabilities. As of December 31, signed or renewed any new tower rental agreements. Due to the arrearages of tower rents, the Company is at risk of seizure of their communications equipment located at numerous locations. A reserve for contingent liabilities related to the unpaid tower rents was accrued for $100,000 at December 31, 1998. The tower leases above are currently being renegotiated and revised to reflect the change of ownership of the equipment on the site. NOTE 4 - ACQUISITIONS In January 1998 and May 1998, the Company acquired "220 Megahertz' communication equipment and 41 FCC licenses, net of outstanding liabilities, from the Macmillan Bell Group, Inc. for the issuance of 3,735,526 restricted common shares. (Related party transaction). In October 1998, the Company acquired from Nine (9) separate partnerships (collectively referred to as '.The Alliance") 220 Megahertz communications equipment and FCC licenses, net of liabilities, via the issuance of 333,132 common shares, at a valuation of $1,080,000. NOTE 5 - CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS A.) On May 27, 1998, the Company issued 1,500,000 stock warrants which expire on May 27, 2000 for the right to, purchase common stock at $1.00 per share. No consideration was given for these warrants. As of December 31, 1998, the warrant holder paid on behalf of the Company $300,000 of operating expenses, thus received 300,000 shares of common stock. B.) On May 4, 1998, the Company declared a 1:20 reverse stock split. Accordingly, all share and per share data has been retroactively restated. 8 FIRST FLORIDA COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1998 NOTE 6 - FIXED ASSETS Property, plant and equipment consists of: Communications equipment $2,710,000 Furniture and fixtures 30,448 ---------- 2,740,448 Accumulated depreciation 3,852 ---------- $2,736,596 NOTE 7 - FCC LICENSES The Company owns fifty (50) FCC licenses, in 47 cities for "220 Megahertz" communications activities, that are renewable annually. The $1,475,000 valuation of these licenses is being amortized over twenty years. As of December 31, 1998 $29,418 has been amortized. Possession to these licenses were acquired via various acquisitions as noted in Note 4 and the Company is currently transferring the licenses on the Federal Communications Commission's records into the name of the Company. NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company acquired Federal Communication licenses and "220 Megahertz" communications equipment from the MacMillan Bell Group, Inc., (See Note 5). The sole stockholder of this corporation was a Director and former Chief Executive Officer of the First Florida Communications, Inc., and is the father of the principle shareholders of the Company. This related party has advanced the Company $26,542 as of December 31, 1998. These advances are unsecured, non-interest bearing and has no repayment scheduled. NOTE 9 - GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS The Company has incurred losses from inception in excess of $1,000,000 and has never shown a profit. Due to the Company's nominal cash flow and lack of Productive assets its ability to meet current obligations is in doubt. Additionally, the negative working capital at December 31, 1998 of $396,000 raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. Management has advised us that a venture capital company has expressed an interest of infusing equity capital into the company and that new acquisitions will provide liquidity (Note 10) and needed cash flow. 9 FIRST FLORIDA COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1998 NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In January 1999, the Company acquired all the stock of M. B. Broadcasting, Inc., for 350,000 shares of common stock valued at $10 per share for a purchase of $3,500,000. M. B. Broadcasting, Inc., is primarily a Saint George, Utah cable television station and T.V. production company. In March 1999, the Company acquired for $1,500,000 the net assets of Summit Advertising Group, a Fort Lauderdale, Florida advertising agency. The purchase price consideration was $100,000 in cash and 280,000 shares of restricted common stock. 10 PART III ITEM 2. INDEX TO EXHIBITS. EXHIBIT NO.

If said day is a legal holiday, the meeting shall be held on the next succeeding business day not a legal holiday. (b) Business to be transacted at such meeting shall be the election of directors to succeed those whose terms are expiring and such other business as may be properly brought before the meeting. (c) In the event that the annual meeting, by mistake or otherwise, shall not be called and held as herein provided, a special meeting may be called as provided for in Section 2 of this Article I in lieu of and for the purposes of and with the same effect as the annual meeting. SECTION 2. SPECIAL MEETINGS (a) A special meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation may be called for any purpose or purposes at any time by the President of the Corporation, by the Board of Directors or by the holders of not less than 10% of the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting.

AGREED AND ACCEPTED BY AMERICAN WIRELESS, INC. FIRST FLORIDA COMMUNICATIOINS By By Name Name Title Title Date Date EX-5.1 12 EXHBIT-5.1 EX-5.1 PAUL RICHARD BELL, CFTC, LITIGATION EXPLANATION In March 7, 1989' the Commodity Future Trading Commission (CFTC) filed a complaint and notice of hearing pursuant to sections 6 (b),6(c),8a(3), and 8a(4) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended. CFTC docket No. 89-4. The respondents were JCC, Incorporated, EDCO Management Ellis K. Kahn, Paul Richard Bell, and Edward Lerner. The complaint had three counts. Two of the counts involved allegations concerning Paul Richard Bell. Count 1 alleged there were violations through fraud in connection with the solicitation of customers to trade commodity futures contracts. Count 2 did not apply to Mr. Bell. Count 3 alleged violations through a failure to supervise. On December 13,1991,the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) ruled against the respondents and revoked the registrations of Kahn, Bell, and Lerner. Further more the ALJ assessed a monetary fine against all respondents. Bell received a civil monetary penalty of $100,000. The respondents, JCC,Inc., Ellis K.Kahn, and Paul Richard Bell appealed the ALJ's decisions. The appeal was denied in 1994. Paul Richard Bell has not paid the fine and is in the process of deciding how to appeal the decision with new counsel to get his license reinstated and the fine revoked. In the final footnote of the appeal, the court comments that Bell's attorney had a conflict on interest in that on appeal, just as at the hearing, counsel could potentially be placed in the unseemly position of arguing his on credibility. (See Groper v. Taff, 717 F .2d 1415, 1417-18 (D.C. Cir. 1983). Attorneys practicing before administrative agencies are bound by the Code of Professional Responsibility, including DR5-102A, which sets forth the rule that attorneys are precluded from serving as a fact witness and counsel in the same proceeding. Rosen v. NLRB, 735 F.2d 564, 573-77 (D.C.Cir.1984). This was the same situation in Bell's case. Bell did not know of the conflict with the attorney representing him.
