We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of InvestAmerica, Inc., as
of March 31, 2000,  and the related statements of income and cash flow for
the six months then ended in accordance withe standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  All information included
in these financial statements is the representation of the management of
InvestAmerica, Inc.

A review principally of inquires of Company personnel and analytical
procedures applied to financial data.  It is substantially less in scope
than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the
objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made of the accompanying financial statements in order for them to
be in conformity with generally accepted accounting standards.

NOTE 1  -  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization - Balboa Investments, Inc. (Parent) was organized under the laws of
the State of Utah on October 20,  1983.  The Company changed its domicile
from the State of Utah to the State of Nevada on December 18, 1986.  This
change in domicile was accomplished by merging the Company into a Nevada
corporation created solely for this purpose.  In connection with the change in
domicile, the Company changed its corporate name from  Technology Research,
Inc., to Balboa Investments, Inc. effective December 18, 1986.

On December 29, 1992, Balboa Investments, Inc. changed  its name to Progressive
Polymerics International, Inc., (Parent) and acquired all of the issued and
outstanding common stock of Progressive Polymerics, Inc. (Subsidiary).

On April 17, 1997, the Company reverse-split its Common Stock twenty (20) old
shares for one (1) new share.

On April 17, 1997, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of InvestAmerica, Inc., thereby making it a wholly-owned
subsidiary.

On May 14, 1997, the stockholders of the Company approved the merger of
InvestAmerica, Inc., with and into the Company, with the Company the survivor
of the merger.  A change of the Company's name to InvestAmerica Inc., was also
approved.

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its wholly - owned subsidiaries.  All significant
intercompany transactions between the parent and the subsidiary have been
eliminated in the consolidation process.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash
and cash equivalents are defined as demand deposits at banks.

Office Equipment - Office equipment is stated at cost.  The cost of additions
and substantial improvements to property, plant and equipment is capitalized.
The cost of maintenance and repairs of property, plant and equipment is charged
to operating expenses.  Property, plant and equipment is depreciated using
straight-line methods over their estimated economic lives, generally ranging
from 3 to 10 years.

NOTE 6  -  ACQUISITIONS AND CHANGE OF CONTROL

On November 22, 1999, the Company entered into an Agreement (the "Acquisition
Agreement") with Optica Communications International, Inc., (f/k/a Oakbay
Trading Limited), a British Virgin Islands corporation ("Optica"), and the
shareholders of Optica pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the issued
and outstanding stock of Optica (the "Optica Acquisition").  The shares of
Optica were acquired in consideration for 450,000 shares of the Company's
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Series A
Preferred Stock").  The transaction was consummated on March 15, 2000, but had
an effective date of November 24, 1999.  Optica is the sole stockholder of
Optica Communications, Inc., a British Columbia corporation ("Optica Canada")
and Optica Communications, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Optica USA").  Optica
Canada and Optica USA are start-up companies  endeavoring to become a leading
suppliers of managed dark fiber and innovative band-width services on a global
basis.  As a result of the Optica Acquisition, Optica is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company.  As described below, the former stockholders of
Optica have acquired control of the company through the issuance to them of
Series A Preferred Stock, that is convertible into Common Stock of the Company.

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is currently convertible into 185 shares
of Common Stock.  Therefore, an aggregate of 83,250,000 shares of Common Stock
are issuable upon the conversion of all the Series A Preferred Stock.  In
addition, each share of Series A Preferred Stock currently has 185 votes (an
aggregate of 83,250,000 votes for all of the outstanding Series A Preferred
Stock), voting together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class.
Based on the 31,168,857 shares of Common Stock currently issued and
outstanding, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock would own approximately
73% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A
Preferred Stock (without giving effect to any currently outstanding options).
Therefore, the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock resulted in a change
in control of the Company.

The Company has signed a letter of intent to acquire through a newly formed
wholly-owned subsidiary all to the issued and outstanding shares of Zed Data
Systems Corp., A British Columbia corporation ("Zed"), for a cash payment of
$5,000,000 and the issue of shares of the subsidiary exchangeable for
15,000,000 common shares of the Company.  Douglas Smith, President of the
Company, is the sole owner and President of Zed.  Zed is a value added
reseller of data communications equipment.  It sells products and services for
equipment supplied by several manufacturers, including Cisco Systems and Fore
Systems.  During the quarter ended February 29, 2000, Zed had sales of
approximately $ 2,867,977 and income from operations before taxes of
approximately $ 132,368.

NOTE 7  - INVESTMENT

The Company has committed to invest $5,000,000 for 833,333 Preferred shares of
Omnigon International, Inc. ("Omnigon").  Omnigon, a private company, is
constructing an advanced global network to offer proprietary value added
communications services.  $4,000,000 has been invested to date.

NOTE 8 - PRIVATE PLACEMENT AND LONG-TERM DEBT

In order to further capitalize the Company, a Private Placement stock offering
was made, subsequent to December 31, 1999, in reliance upon an exemption from
registration requirements, pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended and Regulation D of the Act.  The Company raised  three
million ($3,000,000) dollars through this Private Placement from four (4)
individuals.  The terms of this Private Placement were as follows:  Six hundred
twenty-five thousand (625,000) shares of common stock were issued at a twenty
percent (20%) discount to the Company's stock price at $6.00 per share, i.e.,
$4.80 per share with one (1) warrant per share issued.  The warrants have a
one (1) year term at an exercise price of $3.00 per share.  Additionally, to
further capitalize the Company, the Company borrowed the sum of two million
($2,000,000) dollars from private sources (one of whom is an affiliate of the
Company), with the interest payable at twelve percent (12%) per year.  The
note has a five (5) year term, and is payable in five equal annual
installments.

NOTE 9 - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company, through Optica Canada, entered into employment agreements with
three (3) individuals under which, among other things, each individual was
granted an option to acquire one million (1,000,000) shares of the Company's
common stock.  The options have a five year term, an exercise price of $5.25
per share, and vest in monthly installments over two years.

The Company, through Optica Canada, under terms of employment agreements with
three (3) individuals, issued three hundred thousand (300,000) shares of the
Company's Common Stock as compensation.

The Company measures compensation costs for these plans using the intrinsic
value-based method of accounting as allowed in Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (FAS
123).  Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized.

NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Based on the number of shares of Common shares that are issuable upon conversion
of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company does not have sufficient number of
authorized Common shares available.  The Board of Directors of the Company has
approved an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to increase
the number of authorized Common shares from 50,000,000 shares to 200,000,000
shares.  Such an amendment is subject to approval by the shareholder's of the
Company.  Management has indicated the Company will call a Special Meeting of
Shareholders in the near future to consider and vote upon the amendment.  The
right of conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock cannot be exercised by all
current preferred shareholders until such time as the Company increases its
authorized common shares.

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

From April 1997, when the Company approved a Plan of Reorganization, through
March 15, 2000, when the Company closed the Optica Acquisition, the Company
has had no material operations and no revenue from operations.  During said
period, the Company's sole purpose was to consummate a merger or acquisition
opportunity with a private entity.

Going Concern - The Company experienced operating losses for the period
ended March 31, 2000.  The financial statements have been prepared assuming
the Company will continue to operate as a going concern which contemplates
the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal
course of business.  No adjustment has been made to the recorded amount of
assets or the recorded amount or classification of liabilities which would be
required if the Company were unable to continue its operations.

Unclassified Balance Sheet - In accordance with the provisions of SFAS
No. 53, the Company has elected to present an unclassified balance sheet.

Loss Per Share - The Company adopted the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share"
that established  standards for the computation, presentation and disclosure
of earnings per share ("EPS"), replacing the presentation of Primary EPS
with a presentation of Basic EPS. It also requires dual presentation of Basic
EPS and Diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for entities
With complex capital structures.  The Company did not present Diluted EPS
since it has a simple capital structure.


Results of Operations

As a result of the Optica Acquisition, the principal operations of the
Company are being conducted through Optica and its subsidiaries.  During the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1999 and the six month period ended March
31, 2000, the Company did not generate any material revenues.  The Company
does not expect to generate any revenues until its "Optica" business plan
becomes operational, which is not anticipated to occur within the next twelve
months.

The Company had a $1,258,769 loss for the first six months of this fiscal
year.  This compares to a loss of $7,631,085 for the same period
last year.  The decrease in loss was due to a $7,372,894 judgement against the
Company for the same period last year which was settled during the current
period for the issuance of stock.  (See "Financial Note - 5").  The Company
reported a net loss of $0.06 per common share for the first six months of
this fiscal year as compared to a net loss of $0.78 for the same period
last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's primary sources of liquidity have been the sale of shares of
common stock from shareholders.  An original stock offering was made in
order to further capitalize the Company, a Private Placement stock offering
was made, subsequent to December 31, 1999, in reliance upon an exemption from
registration requirements, pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended and Regulation D of the Act. The Company raised three million
($3,000,000) dollars through this Private Placement from four (4) individuals.
The terms of this Private Placement were as follows: Six hundred twenty-five
thousand (625,000) shares of common stock were issued at a twenty percent
(20%) discount to the Company's stock price at $6.00 per share, i.e., $4.80
per share with one (1) warrant per share issued. The warrants have a one (1)
year term at an exercise price of $3.00 per share.  Additionally, to further
capitalize the Company, the Company borrowed the sum of two million
($2,000,000) dollars from private sources (one of whom is an affiliate of
the Company), with the interest payable at twelve percent (12%) per year.
