                                    PART III
                                    NARRATIVE

         Subsequent to its acquisition in March 2001 of all the issued and
outstanding shares of Global Information Group USA, Inc. ("GIG"), the Company
commenced the relocation to Rock Hill, South Carolina of its principal offices
and those of GIG from their existing locations in Columbia, South Carolina, and
New York City, respectively. Access to documentation and information necessary
to complete the Company's Form 10-KSB was unavoidably delayed. The inaccessible
documentation and information precluded the Company from obtaining the
information necessary to complete the Form 10-KSB and file it in a timely
manner. The Company is now in possession of all material information and
anticipates completing and filing the Form 10-KSB within the extension period.

The acquisition of GIG was accounted for as a reverse merger. As a result, the
historical financial statements of ADVA have been replaced with those of GIG.
The results of operations for ADVA and its subsidiary for the year ended March
31, 2001 will show a significant change as compared to the results of operations
for the year ended March 31, 2000. The Company anticipates a net loss of
approximately $1,468,000, for the year ended March 31, 2001, as compared to a
net loss of $339,000 for the for the prior year. The primary reason for this
change was that the results of operations for fiscal 2001 included an increase
in expenses related to the share exchange of approximately $802,000. In
addition, an increase of about $158,000 in general and administrative expenses
resulted from the Company's efforts to position itself to commence operations in
fiscal year 2002. An increase in interest expense of approximately $188,000
resulted from the amortization of deferred finance charges and almost a full
year of interest on an increased level of debt.

                                     PART IV
