             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1)      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The consolidated condensed interim financial statements included herein
         have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules
         and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
         information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
         statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
         regulations, although the Company believes the disclosures are adequate
         to make information presented not misleading.

         These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal
         recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are
         necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.
         It is suggested that these consolidated condensed financial statements
         be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto,
         at April 30, 2001 and for the two years then ended included in the
         Company's report on Form 10-KSB. The Company follows the same
         accounting policies in preparation of interim reports.

         Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
         indicative of annual results.


(2)      GOING CONCERN, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, AND MANAGEMENT'S PLANS

         The Company's financial statements for the three months ended July 31,
         2001 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates
         the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and
         commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has
         historically reported net losses, including reporting a loss from
         continuing operations and before extraordinary gain of $3,865,000 for
         the three months ended July 31, 2001 and has a working capital deficit
         of $1,847,000 as of July 31, 2001. The Company's operations have
         historically been adversely affected by a lack of working capital. The
         Company uses a line of credit from a lending institution, which is
         limited to the extent of available collateral. The Company's line of
         credit is fully utilized to the extent of available collateral at July
         31, 2001. The lack of available funding impedes the Company's ability
         to fund additional equipment purchases and to expand its business
         operations. Furthermore, the Company's major vendor has notified the
         Company it will only sell to the Company on a cash basis.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2)      GOING CONCERN, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, AND MANAGEMENT'S PLANS
         (CONTINUED)

         To address its cash flow concerns, the Company sold convertible notes
         and restricted common stock during fiscal 2001. These proceeds were
         used to fund operations of the Company. In January 2001, the Company
         started making reductions in general and administrative costs that
         resulted in a reduction of approximately $80,000 of expenses per month
         by April 30, 2001. However, even with the reduction of expenses, the
         Company still expects continued losses and cash to be used in operating
         activities from the Company's current operations during fiscal 2002.
         The Company currently has a definitive merger agreement with an entity
         in the Chicago, Illinois area that is contingent upon certain events
         occurring, including the Company raising $1,000,000 in debt/equity
         financing. Management believes that the merger should increase revenues
         and cash flows in the future. Management expects that if the merger is
         successful that the Company will exit its existing telecom business. If
         the merger is ultimately unsuccessful, management of the Company
         believes additional curtailment in existing operations will be
         necessary, including the sale of one or more of its divisions, to fund
         the operations of the Company during fiscal 2002. As a result of
         management's plans described above, the Company recorded a $3,500,000
         impairment of its goodwill during the quarter ended July 31, 2001.
         Additional impairment of goodwill may be necessary in the future
         depending on the final outcome of management's plans to sell or curtail
         the Company's operations.

         Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately
         achieve profitable operations or be cash positive, complete the merger
         discussed above or raise additional debt and/or equity capital.
         However, based on its prior demonstrated ability to raise capital,
         management believes that the Company's capital resources will be
         adequate to continue operating and maintain its business strategy
         during fiscal 2002. However, if the Company is unable to raise
         additional capital in the near future, due to the Company's liquidity
         problems, management expects that the Company will need to curtail
         operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favorable
         terms and/or pursue other remedial measures. These financial statements
         do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
         classification of assets or the amounts and classification of
         liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to
         continue as a going concern.

(3)      BUSINESS DISPOSITION

         In July 2001, the Company and Toshiba American Information Systems,
         Inc. (TAIS), the primary vendor for the Company's franchise operation,
         agreed to terminate the agreement by which the Company was authorized
         to sell TAIS products to the Company's franchise network. As a result
         of this action by TAIS, the Company determined that it could no longer
         provide products to the franchise network of 54 franchisees in a cost
         competitive manner and was therefore discontinuing all franchise
         operations. Current and prior operations related to the franchise
         operations are reflected as discontinued operations.


(4)      ACCOUNTS PAYABLE RESTRUCTURING

         In July 2001, in conjunction with the termination of the franchise
         program the Company negotiated a restructuring of existing amounts
         payable into a long-term note. The vendor, TAIS, will forgive $300,000
         of the amounts payable, the Company will pay $20,000 per month with no
         interest for the first twelve (12) months and $20,000 per month plus
         interest at 6.75% per annum for the remaining term of the note. In
         addition, the Company will accelerate the payment of the note, if in
         the future, the Company receives cash for any sale of existing business
         units. The Company recognized a $253,000 gain on debt restructure,
         which represents the difference between the payable to vendor before
         restructure and the future principal and interest payments on the
         restructured payable.

ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

Statements herein, other than historical fact, may be deemed forward-looking.
These statements may be accompanied by words such as "believe," "estimate,"
"project," "expect," "anticipate," or "predict," that convey the uncertainty of
future events or outcomes. These statements are based on assumptions that the
Company believes are reasonable; however, many factors could cause the Company's
actual results in the future to differ materially from the forward-looking
statements made herein and in any other documents or oral presentations made by,
or on behalf of, the Company. Important factors which could cause actual results
to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements, include, among
others, the ability to obtain additional financing, which is not assured; price
and product competition by foreign and domestic competitors, including new
entrants; rapid technological developments and changes; the Company's
relationship with its suppliers and suppliers' ability to provide products on a
timely basis; the achievement of lower costs and expenses; reliance on large
customers; the Company's ability to attract acquisition candidates and to
successfully integrate acquisitions into the Company's business; interest rate
fluctuations and other general economic conditions, as discussed in the
Company's report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended April 30, 2001. In light of
the assumptions and uncertainties inherent in forward-looking information, the
inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the
Company or any other person that the plans of the Company will be realized.


Results of Operations

For the three month period ended July 31, 2001, Active Link Communications, Inc.
("Active Link" or the "Company") reported net losses of $3,670,000 as compared
to a net loss of $337,000 for the comparable period ended July 31, 2000. The net
loss for July 31, 2001 includes a loss of $3,500,000 for the impairment of
goodwill and a $253,000 gain on the restructuring of accounts payable. Total
revenue for the quarter ended July 31, 2001 was $4,737,000 compared to total
revenue of $3,551,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 2000.

The increase in revenue from direct equipment sales and service was $1,192,000
for the three month period ended July 31, 2001, compared to the same time period
from the prior year. The gross margin percentage on direct equipment sales and
service declined approximately 2% from 28% for the three months ended July 31,
2000 to 26% for the three months ended July 31, 2001. The increase in sales is a
result of an increase in large PBX switch installations in the Dallas and
Houston markets of approximately $603,000 and an increase in cable installation
in the Denver market as a result of the acquisition of Applications Consultants,
Inc. ("APCON") in October 2000 of approximately $808,000. The decrease in gross
margin reflects an increase in product costs as a result of the Company's poor
cash position. The Company is not able to purchase product at the most
advantageous price.

The increase in selling expenses was $127,000 for the three month periods ended
July 31, 2001, compared to the same time period from the prior year. This
increase was due to increased commissions on higher sales volume and a larger
sales force in Company operations.

The increase in general and administrative expenses was $111,000 for the three
month period ended July 31, 2001, compared to the same time period from the
prior year. This increase is due primarily to the acquisition of APCON. General
and administrative expenses were 18% of total revenue for the three months ended
July 31, 2001 as compared to 21% of revenue for the three months ended July 31,
2000.

Lack of Working Capital; Need for Additional Financing

The Company's financial statements for the three months ended July 31, 2001 have
been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of
assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of
business. The Company's working capital deficit decreased by $662,000 from
$2,509,000 as of April 30, 2001 to $1,847,000 as of July 31, 2001. The entire
decrease is the result of a restructuring of accounts payable of approximately
$1,107,000. Active Link's operations have historically been adversely affected
by a lack of working capital. Active Link uses a line of credit from a finance
company, which is limited to the extent of available collateral. Active Link's
line of credit is fully utilized to the extent of available collateral at July
31, 2001. The lack of available funding impedes Active Link's ability to fund
additional equipment purchases and to expand its business operations. Active
Link periodically seeks additional capital, but has no firm commitments from any
source and there can be no assurance Active Link will be able to fulfill its
capital needs in the future. Moreover, due to Active Link's poor liquidity and
operating results and the absence of a Nasdaq listing for its common stock, the
cost of obtaining additional capital is expected to be significant.

In November 1999, additional net proceeds of approximately $722,000 were
received from the sale of notes and warrants to two institutional investors. The
terms of these transactions were similar to the unit offering, with certain
exceptions. The Company agreed to register the common stock which may be
received upon conversion of these notes. The registration statement was not
declared effective by April 30, 2000, and as a result the institutional
investors have the right to accelerate the maturity date of their notes to six
months from the date of exercise of the acceleration right. If the institutional
investors exercise the right to accelerate the maturity of their notes Active
Link will redeem their warrants at $.02 per warrant. The exercise price for
these warrants is $.60, instead of the $.40 exercise price in the units. Active
Link is also restricted in its ability to prepay these notes.

In January 2000, Active Link entered into a new revolving line of credit
agreement with a finance company. The revolving line of credit permits Active
Link to borrow up to $2,000,000 subject to certain collateral limitations.
Interest, at the rate of prime plus 3.5% per annum, is due monthly. In October
2000 the revolving line of credit was increased to $2,850,000 subject to the
original collateral limitations. The revolving line of credit is collateralized
by substantially all of the assets of Active Link. At July 31, 2001, $1,781,000
was outstanding under the line of credit.

As a result of the acquisition of APCON in October 2000 and an increase in large
telephone installation projects by the Company's Texas operations, the Company
has experienced an increase in receivables, for project work that is still in
process, that cannot be used as collateral for the Company's line of credit and
an increase in project costs for which cash deposits have not been received.
Receivables which cannot be used as collateral were $105,000 at July 31, 2001,
and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings for contracts in process
at July 31, 2001 was $1,794,000.

In June 2001 Active Link entered into an agreement for a merger with Mobility
Concepts, Inc. ("Mobility"). Mobility provides mobile computing solutions to
Fortune 500 companies nationally. Mobility's products and services include
solution design, project management, hardware, installation and support.
Mobility has its headquarters in Naperville, Illinois and sales offices
nationally. The Company believes that the merger with Mobility will provide new


                                       11
<PAGE>   12


avenues of growth for the combined companies and improve the Company's ability
to raise additional working capital. Completion of the merger is subject to
several conditions, including completion of audited financial statements of
Mobility and the availability of additional financing of $1,000,000. An
institutional investor has provided the Company with a proposal for the
financing and is conducting its due diligence review. The Company hopes to
complete the merger in September 2001. Management expects that if the merger is
successful that the Company will exit its existing telecom business.

In July 2001, in conjunction with the termination of the franchise program to
sell TAIS products, the Company negotiated a restructuring of existing amounts
payable into a long-term note. TAIS will forgive $300,000 of the amounts
payable, the Company will pay $20,000 per month with no interest for the first
twelve (12) months and $20,000 per month plus interest at 6.75% per annum for
the remaining term of the note. In addition, the Company will accelerate the
payment of the note, if in the future, the Company receives cash for any sale of
existing business units.

In January 2001, the Company started making reductions in general and
administrative costs that resulted in a reduction of approximately $80,000 of
expenses per month by April 30, 2001. However, even with the reduction of
expenses, the Company still expects continued losses and cash to be used in
operating activities from the Company's current operations during fiscal 2002.
Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve
profitable operations or be cash positive, complete the merger discussed above
or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. However, based on its prior
demonstrated ability to raise capital, management believes that the Company's
capital resources will be adequate to continue operating and maintain its
business strategy during fiscal 2002. However, if the Company is unable to raise
additional capital in the near future, due to the Company's liquidity problems,
management expects that the Company will need to curtail operations, liquidate
assets, seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other
remedial measures. The Company's financial statements in this Report do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
