1. CONTINUING OPERATIONS



The financial statements of InvestAmerica, Inc. ("InvestAmerica" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP").  InvestAmerica is a public
company quoted on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board.



The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Zed Data Systems Corp. ("Zed"), provides public and private sector end users with data communication solutions across North America.  These services primarily include system design,
supply of equipment, and installation.



The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  At March 31,
2001, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $5,674,743.  The Company incurred a net loss of $6,204,900 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and a net loss of $8,516,109 for the six months ended March 31, 2001.  The company is reliant on
current and future stockholders' financial support to assist in meeting cash flow needs.



Management has evaluated the Company's alternatives to enable it to pay its liabilities as they become due and payable in the current year, reduce operating losses and obtain additional or new financing in order to advance its business
plan.  Alternatives being considered by management include, among others, obtaining financing from new lenders, obtaining vendor financing, and issuance of additional equity.  The Company believes these measures will provide liquidity for it to continue
as a going concern throughout fiscal 2001, however, management can provide no assurance with regard thereto.  These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable
period of time.



2.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES



Basis of Presentation



The accompanying financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial
statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The interim financial statements are unaudited, but reflect all adjustments (including only normal recurring adjustments) which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000.



The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any future periods.





2.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)



Principles of Consolidation



These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.



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 amounts reported in the Company's condensed consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes. While the Company believes that such estimates are fair when considered in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations taken as a whole, the actual amount of such
estimates, when known, will vary from these estimates.



Concentration of Credit Risk and Economic Dependence



Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable.  Cash and cash equivalents are custodied
with high-quality financial institutions and short-term investments are made in investment grade securities to mitigate exposure to credit risk.  The Company had revenues from three customers during the period ended March 31, 2001 that accounted for 66%
of equipment sales and services and three other customers that accounted for 53% of trade accounts receivable as at March 31, 2001.



Loss Per Share



Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. For purposes of this calculation, since Series A Preferred Stock
and the Series B Preferred Stock issuable under the equity conversion right are convertible into common shares, they have been considered common share equivalents and reflected accordingly.

Comprehensive Income

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components (revenue, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of
general-purpose financial statements. In addition to a net loss, a foreign exchange translation adjustment contributed to other comprehensive loss for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2001.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 101 summarizes the requirements that must be met in order to recognize revenue and provides guidance
for disclosure of revenue recognition policies.  The Company is required to implement SAB 101, effective the quarter ended September 30, 2001, with retroactive application to the beginning of the Company's fiscal year. The Company has assessed the impact
of SAB 101 and does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operation.

====== | $404,971
=======  





The note receivable does not bear interest and is unsecured.





4.	LONG-TERM INVESTMENT



In January 2000, InvestAmerica made an investment in OIP Ltd. (formerly known as Omnigon International Ltd.), a private development stage company involved in the communications industry, through the purchase of 666,667 shares of
Class C Preferred Stock at $6.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000. The Class C Preferred Stock is convertible into common shares of OIP on a one-for-one basis. Subsequently, OIP Ltd. ("OIP") made a rights offering in February 2001
at a price of $0.18 per share of Class D Preferred Stock, convertible on a one-for-one basis into common shares of OIP. OIP is not a publicly traded company and we do not have sufficient evidence to ascertain its value. Due to the dilution as a result of
the rights offering, the difficulties facing the telecommunications sector, and the need for OIP to raise significant amounts of capital to execute its business plan and generate its first revenues, the value of the investment is impaired. Consequently,
we have written off our investment recognizing the impairment in its value.



5.	ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES



The components of accounts payable and accrued liabilities were as follows:

1. NOTES PAYABLE / DUE TO RELATED PARTY
2. STOCK OPTIONS

During the six months ended March 31, 2001, the following stock options were granted:i) on December 7, 2000, to purchase up to an aggregate of 5,255,000 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $0.66 per share for a 5 year term, vesting monthly over 24 months and ii) on January 2, 2001, to purchase up to an aggregate of 350,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.56 per share for a 5 year term, vesting monthly over 24
months.  As at March 31, 2001, a total of 16,205,000 stock options were outstanding.

8.	SEGMENTED INFORMATION



Currently, the Company is principally engaged in providing data communications solutions within North America.  Accordingly, the Company considers itself to be in a single industry and geographic segment.  All of the Company's
long-lived assets are owned by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Zed which operates exclusively in North America.  The Company allocates revenue based on the location of the customer, all of which are located in North America.



9.	CONTINGENCIES



During fiscal 1999, a shareholder of the Company (the "Shareholder") obtained two default judgments against the Company, one of which was for the payment of money, and the second recognizing the Shareholder as the Company's sole
director and officer.  The Shareholder alleges that the Company settled the matters addressed in these two default judgments in a settlement agreement (the "First Settlement Agreement") whereby the Company agreed to (i) issue common shares to the
Shareholder such that he would then own 95% of the total amount of issued and outstanding common shares; (ii) deem the Shareholder the rightful owner of certain common shares issued by Fidelity Holdings, Inc. (the "Fidelity Shares") and certain royalties
owed by a third party (the "Royalties"); and (iii) recognize the Shareholder as the Company's sole director and Chief Executive Officer.



The Company claims that the First Settlement Agreement was obtained without management's knowledge.  Upon becoming aware of the First Settlement Agreement, the Company entered into a second settlement agreement (the "Second Settlement
Agreement") with the Shareholder in which the Shareholder relinquished his claims to the matters established in the First Settlement Agreement in exchange for (i) 4,740,000 common shares of the Company (the "Settlement Shares"); and (ii) the Company's
agreement that the Shareholder is the rightful owner of the Fidelity Shares and the Royalties.  The financial statements have been presented to reflect the Second Settlement Agreement.



Subsequent to the date of the Second Settlement Agreement, the Company issued the Settlement Shares.  The certificate evidencing the Settlement Shares had a restrictive legend on it.  The Shareholder arranged for the Court to require
the exchange of the Settlement Shares for shares without any restrictive legend.  The Company alleges that it did not receive notice of the hearing on this matter and that the Court's order with respect to it was obtained improperly.



The Shareholder and purportedly the Company on February 28, 2001 commenced another law suit against Brian Kitts, Douglas Smith, Olde Monmouth Stock Transfer Co. Inc. and other unnamed defendants, claiming that the Shareholder and
another individual are the directors and officers of the Company, and further denies the validity and enforceability of the Second Settlement Agreement, and makes various claims for damages.  Brian Kitts and Douglas Smith claim that by a majority consent
in October, 1999 Brian Kitts obtained control of the Company and subsequently Douglas Smith and other directors were duly appointed, and further, that the Second Settlement Agreement is valid and enforceable.



These two legal matters have now been consolidated into one law suit.



The Shareholder has also sued Fidelity Holdings, Inc. in a separate action in United States District Court, in which ownership of the Fidelity Shares is an issue.  The Shareholder takes the position in this action that the Second
Settlement Agreement does not bind him.  The Company had entered an appearance in this action to assert that if the Second Settlement Agreement does not apply to the Shareholder, then the Company asserts ownership to the Fidelity Shares.  The Court has
ruled that the Company has no ownership interest in the Fidelity Shares.  The third party claims by Fidelity Holdings, Inc. against the Company for indemnity remains outstanding.



Management is uncertain as to the resolution of these matters at this time.





10.	SUBSEQUENT EVENT



Subsequent to March 31, 2001, the Company issued 750,000 common shares at a price of $0.10 per share for gross proceeds of $75,000.





Item 2.       Management's Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operation.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I - Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, and the audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000.



Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, including, without limitation, statements containing the words "believes", "anticipates", "estimates", "intends", "expects" and words of similar import, constitute
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995.  Although our management believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such
expectations will prove to have been correct.  Actual results could vary materially from those expressed in those forward-looking statements.  Readers are referred to "Plan of Operation", "Future Cash Requirements", "Future Research, Development and
Operations" and "Marketing" sections contained in this Quarterly Report, as well as the factors described below in the section entitled "Factors That May Affect Our Future Results", which identify some of the important factors or events that could cause
our actual results or performance to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.  Moreover, neither we nor anyone else assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of forward-looking statements. We undertake no
obligation to update any of our forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB to conform such statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements.

GENERAL

We were incorporated in Utah on October 20, 1983.  On December 18, 1986, we changed our corporate domicile to Nevada by merging with a Nevada corporation created solely for that purpose.  On December 29, 1992, we changed our
corporate name to "Progressive Polymerics International, Inc." and acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Progressive Polymerics, Inc.  On April 17, 1997, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of InvestAmerica,
Inc.  On May 14, 1997, we merged InvestAmerica, Inc. (which was our wholly-owned subsidiary) into Progressive Polymerics International, Inc. and changed the name of the survivor corporation to InvestAmerica, Inc.

On March 15, 2000, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Optica Communications International Inc. ("Optica") by way of a share exchange reorganization, which is described in detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
filed on January 16, 2001.  Since incorporation, Optica has been in the business of developing a fiber optic network over which it intends to provide optical wavelength and multimedia bandwidth services, including internet, voice and data communications,
video and streaming media.

On July 7, 2000, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Zed Data Systems Corp. ("Zed") by way of a purchase of shares and a share exchange reorganization.  In the share purchase, we paid an aggregate of
$5,000,000 for approximately 77% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Zed.  As part of this Share Purchase, the balance of Zed's common shares were converted into 50,000 shares of Class D Preferred Stock of Zed.  One shareholder owns all of
these shares of Class D Preferred Stock of Zed, which are exchangeable at any time for an aggregate of 50,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock.  As a result, we own all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Zed.  This acquisition is
described in detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, filed on January 16, 2001.  Since incorporation, Zed has been in the business of providing data communications and network systems solutions, including network design, supply of equipment,
installation, commissioning, security and maintenance.

We plan to continue to operate both of these businesses over the next twelve months ending March 31, 2002.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



The following table presents selected financial data, derived from our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the period ended March 31, 2001. The operating results for the three months and six months ended
March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or any future period. As a result of our acquisition of Optica via reverse acquisition on March 15, 2000, our financial
statements are presented as a continuation of Optica. Accordingly, financial information relating to the three months and six months ended March 31, 2000 is that of Optica.

Revenues

Total revenues were $52,134 and $Nil for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, and $246,479 and $Nil for the six months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 respectively. Total revenue for the year ended September 30, 2000 was
$1,293,690.



We currently derive our revenues from the sale, installation, and maintenance of data communications equipment and data communications solutions provided by InvestAmerica's subsidiary Zed, which was acquired at the beginning of the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. We recognize revenues on delivery if persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery and installation is complete, the fee is fixed and determinable and collection is probable. If uncertainty exists regarding customer
acceptance, revenues are deferred until acceptance occurs. If an acceptance period is required, revenues are only recognized upon customer acceptance.



Revenues for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2001 were lower than expected due to the early completion of a major sales contract late in fiscal year 2000 and lower than usual sales generation primarily due to the abrupt
 slow down in information technology ("IT") and capital spending in the telecom sector.   Consistent with current industry trends, we expect sales to be slow for the next two quarters as large telecom companies have cut their near term capital spending
budgets dramatically.



A significant portion of revenues for the year ended September 30, 2000 were related to the completion of a significant contract with a large telecommunications company. There was no revenue recorded in the three months and six months
ended March 31, 2000 as the Company had not yet acquired Zed and was solely in the development stage at that time.



Cost of good sold

Total cost of goods sold was $9,171 and $Nil for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 and $92,851 and $Nil for the six months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Total cost of goods sold for the year ended
September 30, 2000 was $890,939.



Gross profit

The Company is generally able to achieve high margins on sales due to the nature of the sales contracts and type of equipment we install.  Data communications equipment and solutions have been in high demand and as such, has
provided us with opportunities to negotiate high margin contracts.  During the last two quarters gross margin was significantly higher than historical results, although on a smaller revenue base, as we generated a higher relative volume of service related
revenue, which has a lower associated cost.  However, over the next two quarters particularly, gross margins on the supply of equipment or data communications solutions is expected to be impacted negatively due to: i) the recent sharp reduction of IT and
capital spending leading to a very competitive environment and ii) the increased availability or quality used equipment due to many recent business failures.  Longer term, we expect our margins will begin to moderate as other competitors enter the market
and demand for data communications declines.



Operating Expenses



Selling, General and Administrative

Sales, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses and benefits earned by sales and marketing personnel, and related costs for executive, finance and administrative personnel. Sales, general and
administrative expenses also include direct expenditures such as travel, rent, depreciation, advertising and promotion, legal and other professional fees.



Sales, general and administrative expenses were $227,162 and $11,061 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, and $632,052 and $29,487 for the six months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. This increase is due to
the increased level of activity in the Company.  Sales, general and administrative expenses were $1,310,109, excluding all share-based compensation related charges, for the year ended September 30, 2000.



For the three months and six months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, general and administrative expenses were higher than anticipated, as we have incurred substantial legal fees related to various lawsuits that we are defending.  General
and administrative expenses were also higher than anticipated for the year ended September 30, 2000 as we were in the process of commencing operations, hiring staff and obtaining office space. We have tended to use consultants to manage shareholder
relations and various financial roles resulting in an increase in professional fees we have incurred.



We expect general and administrative expenses will increase as we continue to expand the business and increase our administrative capability.



Share-Based Compensation

During the year ended September 30, 2000, we recorded a charge for stock compensation expense of $1,575,000 related to the hiring of three new employees. We have often issued shares and options to employees and consultants as a
means of reducing cash outlays.



Amortization of Deferred Share-Based Compensation

We recorded deferred share-based compensation of $3,760,730 during the year ended September 30, 2000 in connection with grants of share purchase options to consultants of the Company. We are amortizing this amount over the
four-year period. We recognized $447,114 and $Nil in deferred compensation expense in the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, and $894,228 and $Nil in the six months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.  During the year ended
September 30, 2000, we recognized $740,543 in compensation expense. We currently expect to recognize $1,788,456, $1,200,121 and $31,610 in share-based compensation in the years ending September 30, 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.



Amortization of Goodwill

Amortization of goodwill was $1,354,892 for the three months ended March 31, 2001,  $2,709,784 for the six months ended March 31, 2001 and $1,354,892 for the year ended September 30, 2000. This is related to the goodwill
of approximately $27.1 million arising from the acquisition of Zed during the final quarter of the year ended September 30, 2000. We are amortizing goodwill from the acquisition over a period of five years. No amortization was applicable or recorded in
the three months and six months ended March 31, 2000. We anticipate acquiring other companies or assets which could result in further significant goodwill amortization or other charges and this could materially impact our operating results.



Loss on Impairment of Long-term Investment

Pursuant to a subscription agreement between the Company and OIP Ltd. (formerly known as Omnigon International Ltd.), a British Virgin Island International Business company, dated January 21, 2000, the Company agreed to
purchase 833,333 shares of OIP Ltd. ("OIP") Class C Preferred Stock at $6.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000.  The Class C Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into common stock of OIP on a one-for-one basis.  In
consideration, the Company paid cash of $4,000,000 and issued a note payable dated April 10, 2000 for $1,000,000 due June 9, 2000.  Prior to September 30, 2000, at the request of the Company, OIP returned and cancelled the note, leaving InvestAmerica
owner of 666,667 shares of Class C Preferred Stock.  Upon conversion into common shares, the Company's interest in OIP is less than 5%.  OIP is a private development stage company and currently has no revenues operating in the communications industry. OIP
needs to raise significant capital to execute its business plan and generate its first revenues.



OIP made a rights offering closing February 28, 2001, which offered existing shareholders the opportunity to acquire Class D Convertible Preferred Stock for $0.18 per share.  The Class D Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into
Common Stock of OIP on a one-for-one basis.  The Company declined to participate in the rights offering, resulting in significant dilution of our interest.



OIP is not a publicly traded company and we do not have sufficient evidence to ascertain its value. Due to the dilution as a result of the rights offering, the difficulties facing the telecommunications sector, and the need for OIP to
raise significant amounts of capital to execute its business plan and generate its first revenues, we have written off our investment due to the impairment in value.



Interest Expense

Interest expense was $179,409 and $Nil for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, $394,387 and $Nil for the six months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively and $263,068 for the year ended September 30, 2000. The
increase in interest expense relates to the issuance of notes payable since the end of the comparative period, the majority of which were issued pursuant to the acquisition of Zed in July 2000. The notes payable bear interest at 12% per annum. The Zed
notes payable, which are repayable in six equal monthly instalment of $715,000 commencing May 31, 2001 with a final instalment of $710,000 due November 30, 2001, are secured by a security interest in the Company's assets including shares of Zed common stock



Income Taxes

We have provided for income taxes at $39,286 for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2001 in relation to our operating subsidiary Zed.  We have not provided for income taxes for the three months and six months ended
March 31, 2000 nor for the year ended September 30, 2000, due to the fact that the we did not generate taxable income during these periods.  Non-capital loss carry-forwards, which can be applied against future taxable income, are available in other
entities within the InvestAmerica group of companies. These loss carry-forwards expire at various dates up to 2007.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 2001, we had $221,575 in cash and a working capital deficiency of $5,674,743. We had incurred a net loss of $6,204,900 for the three months ending March 31, 2001 and $8,516,109 for the six months ending March 31, 2001.
Accordingly, our financial statements contain note disclosures describing the circumstances that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

For the six months ended March 31, 2001, our main sources of capital have been shareholder loans, issuance of notes payable and issuance of common shares resulting in net cash provided by financing activities of $178,291. Operating
activities resulted in a net use of cash of  $35,976. However, our operating assets and liabilities provided us with an additional $869,932 of working capital, due to active and close management of accounts payable and receipt of payment in regards to
outstanding trade accounts receivable.

For the year ended September 30, 2000, our main sources of capital were debt, in the form of notes payable and shareholder loans, and additional equity, for net cash provided of $6.1 million.  The acquisition of Zed and other
investments resulted in a net use of funds of $8.6 million. Operations, through collection of trade receivables, also provided cash of $2.5 million.

PLAN OF OPERATION

Over the twelve months ending March 31, 2002, our primary objectives with respect to the business of Optica include:



-	purchasing up to 16,500 route miles of fiber optic cable, linking over forty-eight major metropolitan areas in North America;

-	arranging for the purchase, installation and maintenance of the hardware necessary to activate and operate the fiber optic network;

-	engineering the fiber optic network for maximum flexibility and quality;

-	implementing, activating and testing selected routes of our fiber optic network; and

-	selling Indefeasible Rights of Use (IRUs) to a nominal number of users within the geographic area served by our fiber optic network.  An Indefeasible Right of Use is an agreement for the use of bandwidth over a fixed period of
time (usually measured in years).



Over the twelve months ending March 31, 2002, our primary objectives with respect to the business of Zed include:



-	increasing sales to past and current customers;

-	identifying and selling to new customers;

-	adjusting product and service offerings to meet customer needs and demands; and

-	adding professional management, sales and service personnel to meet customer needs.

We anticipate that we will be able to complete our plan of operations if we can raise a significant amount of additional financing.  Our actual expenditures and business plan may differ significantly from those anticipated in our plan
of operations.  We may decide not to pursue our plan of operations or we may modify our plan of operations depending on the amount of financing that we are able to secure.  We do not currently have any arrangement in place for any debt or equity financing
which would enable us to satisfy the cash requirements required by our plan of operations.

We anticipate that we will incur further operating losses in the foreseeable future.  We base this expectation in part on the assumption that we will incur substantial operating and capital expenses in completing our plan of
operations.  Our future financial results are also uncertain due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control.  These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

-	willingness of external investors, including our supplier and vendors, to advance significant capital to us to finance our purchases of fiber optic hardware and cable and to implement our business plan and plan of operations;

-	general economic conditions, government regulations and increased industry competition;

-

-

-	whether there will be a market for our optical bandwidth services once the development of our fiber optic network is completed; and

-	whether demand for our optical bandwidth services will be adequate to support economically viable continued operations.

Future Cash Requirements

We will require a minimum of approximately $286 million over the period ending December 31, 2001 in order to accomplish our goals.  The cash requirements are based on our estimates for operational and capital costs for the period
ending December 31, 2001.

For Optica, we estimate that in this period approximately $279.5 million will be required for the purchase of fiber optic network hardware, including $25 million, for the purchase of up to 16,500 route miles of fiber optic cable, $4.5
million to implement and test the fiber optic network, to hire project management staff, to implement our planned sales and marketing program and for other operating expenses.

For Zed, we estimate that approximately $200,000 will be required for debt repayment, $300,000 will required to implement our planned sales and marketing program and $500,000 will be required for acquisition or expansion.

The balance of $5.5 million will be required to repay debt of $5 million and to support general corporate expenses, including the purchase of computer hardware and software, office furniture and equipment, other information technology
equipment, expenses in connection with the engaging of both senior and intermediate management personnel and other general operating expenses.

We believe we have sufficient funds on hand to pay for ongoing operating costs and capital expenditures at least through May 31, 2001.  We intend to obtain the balance of the cash requirements through the sale of our equity securities,
proceeds received from the exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options or by obtaining further debt financing.

Future Research, Development and Operations

The purchase of fiber optic network equipment and fiber optic cable will represent the first phase of a planned multi-phase deployment of an extensive international fiber optic network.  This first phase, known as the "Stage One
Network" will be located entirely in North America.  Optica plans to use the Stage One Network to serve 48 North American cities.

We intend to purchase the fiber optic network hardware and dark fiber optic cable by June 30, 2001.  Although we have identified several suppliers of fiber optic cable and hardware, we have not entered into any binding arrangements for
the supply of such materials.  On December 15, 2000, Optica signed a non-binding letter of intent with a major fiber optical equipment manufacturer and is proceeding with negotiations to finalize the terms of a supply agreement for the purchase of
approximately $675 million worth of fiber optic network hardware over the next two years.  In addition, we anticipate to spend $50 million purchasing dark fiber cable for our network over the next two years. We anticipate implementing, activating and
testing selected routes of our fiber optic network in November, 2001 with the full fiber optic network being deployed by the end of the fourth quarter of the year ended September 30, 2002 as warranted by sales and customer demand.  We anticipate
commencing the provision of optical bandwidth services by November 30, 2001.  We will be required to hire 20 technical staff in connection with the development of our fiber optic network and we anticipate hiring some of those personnel by June 30, 2001.
Finally, we anticipate implementing our planned sales and marketing program by June 30, 2001.

With respect to Zed, we intend to hire additional persons in sales management, sales and service, and to conduct a telemarketing program in an effort to increase our sales to past and current customers.  The additional sales and
marketing personnel will also focus on identifying and contacting new customers.  We will also continue to monitor and adjust our product and service offerings to keep pace with new technology and ever changing customer demand.

Marketing

In order to increase Zed's sales volume, we plan to:



-	hire a seasoned sales director;

-	hire additional sales staff;

-	negotiate with current and additional hardware and software vendors; and

-	operate a telemarketing program.

With respect to Optica, we expect that our primary customers for our optical bandwidth services will include competitive local exchange carriers, data oriented local exchange carriers, internet service providers, inter-exchange
carriers and incumbent local exchange carriers.  In order to compete in the existing markets for our products and generate consumer awareness, we will be required to undertake a very aggressive advertising and marketing campaign.  This will require that
we place advertisements in several key trade magazines and publications, as well as exhibiting our software products at the major tradeshows held throughout the year.

Personnel

As of March 31, 2001, we had 22 permanent employees with 13 in the area of corporate administration, 6 in technology and service and 3 in sales (we employ a total of 22 people, including consultants).  Over the twelve month period
ending March 31, 2002, we plan to expand our total number of permanent employees in these same departments to approximately 70, with 5 additional part-time employees.

Purchase or Sale of Equipment

Other than the purchases planned by Optica for fiber optic network hardware and fiber optic cable, we do not anticipate that we will expend any significant amount on equipment for our present or future operations over the next
twelve months.

Factors That May Affect Our Future Results

An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks.  You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this annual report in evaluating InvestAmerica
and our businesses before purchasing shares of our common stock.  Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed due to any of the following risks.  The trading price of the shares of our common stock could decline due
to any of these risks, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

OUR LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE WHETHER WE CAN OPERATE PROFITABLY.

Before we acquired Zed, we had no revenues or earnings.  We do not currently have any significant assets or financial resources.  Our prospects are subject to the risks, expenses and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in
the very early stages of development, especially in the new and rapidly evolving field of fiber optic technology.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to address any of these challenges.

SINCE WE HAVE A HISTORY OF NET LOSSES AND A LACK OF ESTABLISHED REVENUE, WE EXPECT TO INCUR NET LOSSES IN THE FUTURE.

Our consolidated financial statements reflect that we have not generated any significant revenues and have incurred significant net losses, including a net loss of $6,204,900 for the six months ended March 31, 2001 and $4,840,861 for
the year ended September 30, 2000.  As of March 31, 2001, we had an accumulated deficit of $13,361,529.  We expect to have continuing net losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future.  The size of these net losses will depend, in part, on the
commencement of and the rate of growth in our revenues.

Despite the revenues generated by Zed, with our entrance into the competitive fiber optics communication business, we have significantly increased our operating expenses and we expect that our operating expenses will significantly
increase in the future.  To the extent that any such expenses are not timely followed by increased revenues, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects would be materially adversely affected.  These circumstances raise
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as described in an explanatory paragraph to our independent accountants' opinion on the September 30, 2000 audited financial statements.

IF WE DO NOT RAISE ADDITIONAL FUNDS FROM THIRD PARTY SOURCES OR BEGIN TO EARN REVENUES, THEN WE MAY BE UNABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATING.

Recurring operating losses and the significant working capital needs predicted for our fiber optic business will require that we obtain additional operating capital before we have established that our fiber optic business can generate
significant revenue.  The continuation of our businesses is dependent upon the successful execution of our business plan.  We will not have any products to sell from our fiber optic business until November 2001 at the earliest, and we are relying on third
parties (mainly suppliers) to meet that target date.

While we are expending our best efforts to meet our financing needs, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising capital from third parties or generating sufficient funds for operations and continued development.
We are planning to raise a substantial portion of the capital needed for our fiber optic business through vendor financing from our suppliers, with whom we have not yet contracted.  In the event that we are unable to negotiate acceptable terms with our
suppliers, we may not have adequate financial resources to continue our business.

WE ARE IN A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY AND SOME OF OUR COMPETITORS MAY BE MORE SUCCESSFUL IN ATTRACTING AND RETAINING CUSTOMERS.

The market for fiber optic bandwidth and services is highly competitive; we expect that competition will continue to intensify and prices will decline.  Negative competitive developments could prevent our business from being
successful.  All of our potential competitors have more established operating histories than our Optica subsidiary does, as well as significantly greater financial, technical, sales and marketing resources.  As a result, our competitors are able to devote
greater resources to the development, promotion, sale and support of their products.

In particular, we will face significant competition from Global Crossing, GTE, Broadwing, Level 3 Communications and Williams Communications.  To a less significant extent, we will face competition from AT&T, Sprint, Qwest
Communications and MCI Worldcom.  All of these potential competitors have greater name and brand recognition than we do.

ZED'S DEPENDENCE UPON KEY CUSTOMERS MAY AFFECT ITS FUTURE REVENUES AND PROSPECTS

Zed is dependent upon a limited number of customers for a substantial portion of its revenues.  The loss of any of these customers would have a material, significant adverse impact upon Zed's continued operations, revenues and
prospects for profits, but would not significantly impact our working capital, liquidity or long term prospects.  One of Zed's customers accounted for 74% of Zed's revenues and 39% of Zed's accounts receivable for the period from July 7, 2000 to December
31, 2000.  Although Zed expects to expand its customer base, there can be no assurance that it will be successful and, if the customer base is expanded, that Zed will be able to retain its existing customers.  Furthermore, a decline in sales to this one
customer has had a materially adverse impact upon Zed and its continued operations.  In addition, there are no firm contracts governing Zed's relationship with any of its customers.  Accordingly, such business relationships could be terminated or
curtailed at any time.  The lack of firm contracts between Zed and its customers could have a materially adverse impact on Zed's revenue. In addition, management and its resources have been consumed with and committed to defending the current legal
actions against the Company as well as moving Optica's business plan forward resulting in less attention to and direction of the Zed business.  Furthermore, the recent dramatic slow down in IT and capital spending in the telecom sector will likely have an
adverse impact on revenues and prospect in the near term.

WE WILL RELY HEAVILY ON REVENUES DERIVED FROM A SMALL NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS, WHICH MAY PROVE TO BE AN INEFFECTIVE MEANS OF RAISING REVENUES.

We expect to generate the majority of our fiber optic business revenues from a very small number of significant customers.  Our ability to continue to generate substantial revenue will depend upon these customers and our revenue may
decline if any of these potential customers were to cancel, reduce or delay purchases of our fiber optic network products or if they were to demand significant price concessions.

FAILURE TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE THE GROWTH OF OUR BUSINESS COULD HARM OUR FUTURE BUSINESS RESULTS AND MAY STRAIN OUR MANAGERIAL, FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL RESOURCES.

As our Optica subsidiary proceeds with the development of its proposed Stage One Network, we expect that it may experience significant and rapid growth.  It will need to add staff to market its products, manage operations, handle sales
and marketing and perform finance and accounting functions.  This growth is likely to place a significant strain on our managerial, financial and operational resources.  The failure to develop and implement effective systems, or to hire and retain
sufficient personnel for the performance of all of the functions necessary to effectively service and manage our potential business, or the failure to manage growth effectively, could have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition.

A LOSS OF ANY KEY PERSONNEL COULD IMPAIR OUR ABILITY TO SUCCEED.

In part, our future success depends on the continued service of our key management personnel, particularly: Douglas Smith, Brian Kitts and Rick Connole at InvestAmerica, and Brian Heard, Lyle Kerr, Neil Wieler, Jim Duncan and Mark
Nomura at Optica.  The loss of their services, or the services of other key employees, could impair our ability to grow our business.

Our future success also depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees. Competition for employees in our industry is intense. We may be unable to attract, assimilate or retain other highly qualified
employees in the future. In the past, we have experienced difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled employees with appropriate qualifications. We expect this difficulty to continue in the future.

WE ARE UNCERTAIN WE CAN OBTAIN THE CAPITAL TO GROW OUR BUSINESS.

To fully realize our business objectives and potential, we will require significant additional financing.  The fiber optics networking business is very capital intensive.  Our current operating plan calls for the expenditure of over
one billion dollars in the next few years.  For the year ending September 30, 2001, Optica plans to spend or make commitments totalling approximately $275 million for capital assets, up to $150 million of which may be vendor financed subject to Optica and
or the Company raising up to $125 million of capital.  In addition, we will need to raise another $6.5 million for debt repayment of $5 million and $1.5 million for working capital, other business development and general corporate purposes. We may be
unable to obtain some or all of this required financing, or we may not be able to acquire it on terms favorable to us.  If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to:



-	fund our expansion;

-	successfully promote our products and services;

-	develop or enhance our products and services;

-	respond to competitive pressures; or

-	take advantage of acquisition opportunities.

Additional financing may be debt, equity or a combination of debt and equity. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, our stockholders may experience dilution of their ownership interest and the newly
issued securities may have rights superior to those of the common stock.  If we raise additional funds by issuing debt, we may be subject to limitations on our operations, including limitations on the payment of dividends.

OUR INABILITY TO ADAPT TO EVOLVING TECHNOLOGIES AND CUSTOMER DEMANDS MAY IMPEDE OUR FUTURE GROWTH.

To be successful, we must adapt to rapidly changing fiber optic technologies and customer demands. To that end, we will continually need to enhance our products and services and introduce new services to address our customers' changing
needs.  If we need to modify our services or infrastructure to adapt to changes, we could incur substantial additional development or acquisition costs. If we cannot adapt to these changes, or do not sufficiently increase the features and functionality of
our products and services, our customers may switch to the product and service offerings of our competitors or potential competitors.

IF OUR SYSTEMS DO NOT PERFORM AS EXPECTED, OUR POTENTIAL REVENUES MAY BE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED.

Any system failure, including network, software or hardware failure that causes an interruption in our service or a decrease in our responsiveness could result in a loss of customers, damage to our reputation and substantial costs.

SINCE THE MARKET FOR STOCKS OF TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES HAS EXPERIENCED EXTREME PRICE FLUCTUATIONS, OUR SHARES MAY EXPERIENCE EXTREME PRICE AND VOLUME FLUCTUATIONS.

The market for the stocks of technology-related companies has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. The market price of our common stock may be volatile and may decline. In the past, securities class action litigation has
often been initiated against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. If initiated against us, regardless of the outcome, litigation could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management's attention
and resources.

IF HOLDERS OF OUR CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCKS CONVERT, OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE DILUTED AND SALES OF THE SHARES MAY REDUCE OUR STOCK PRICE.

The existence of convertible preferred stocks may make it more difficult for us to raise capital when necessary and may depress the market price of our common stock in any market that may develop for such securities.  Future sales of a
substantial number of our common shares in the public market could reduce the market price of the stock. It could also impair our ability to raise additional capital by selling more of our common stock.

SINCE OUR SHARES ARE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT PRICE AND VOLUME FLUCTUATIONS, STOCKHOLDERS MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY RESELLING THEIR SHARES.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and is thinly traded.  In the past, our trading price has fluctuated widely, depending on many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects.  In
addition, the OTC Bulletin Board is not an exchange and, because trading of the securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on an exchange or The Nasdaq Stock Market, you may have difficulty reselling
any of the shares you purchase from the selling stockholders.

Trading of Our Stock May Be Restricted by the SEC's Penny Stock Regulations Which May Limit a Stockholder's Ability to Buy and Sell our Stock.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00
per share, subject to certain exceptions.  Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors."  The
term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse.  The penny stock rules
require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standard risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of
risks in the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements
showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.  The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the
transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation.  In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must
make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction.  These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading
activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules.  Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities.  We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor
interest in and limit the marketability of, our common stock.

PROVISIONS IN OUR CHARTER OR AGREEMENTS MAY PREVENT OR DELAY A CHANGE OF CONTROL.

Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws, as well as provisions of applicable Nevada law may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or other change of control that a stockholder may consider favourable.  Our board
of directors has the authority to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock and to determine the price and terms, including preferences and voting rights, of those shares without stockholder approval.  As of March 31, 2001, we have issued the
following (or are required to issue additional shares of common stock as the result of our receipt of conversion notices from the holders of the convertible preferred stock):  (1) 16,205,000 stock options to purchase common stock, (2) 98,675 warrants to
purchase common stock, (3) 83,250,000 shares of common stock are issuable upon conversion of Series "A" preferred stock; and (4) an additional 15,000,000 shares of common stock are issuable upon conversion of Series "B" preferred stock assuming the
exchange of Zed Preferred Stock for our Series B Preferred Stock.  The issuance of additional shares of common stock could, among other things, have the following effect:



-	delay, defer or prevent an acquisition or a change in control of our company;

-	discourage bids for our common stock at a premium over the market price; or

-	reduce the market price of, and the voting and other rights of the holders of, our common stock.

Furthermore, we are subject to Nevada laws that could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of our company.  One of these laws prohibits us from engaging in a business combination with any interested
stockholder for a period of three years from the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless certain conditions are met.  In addition, certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and our By-laws, and the significant amount of
common stock held by our executive officers, directors and affiliates, could together have the effect of discouraging potential take-over attempts or making it more difficult for stockholders to change management.

WE DO NOT EXPECT TO PAY DIVIDENDS.

We have not paid dividends on our common stock or preferred stock and do not expect to do so in the foreseeable future.





Part II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.	Legal Proceedings.

As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed on January 16, 2001, we are a defendant in a number of pending lawsuits that were filed by Daniel Tepper (collectively, the "Tepper Actions").



During fiscal 1999, Daniel Tepper, a shareholder of the Company (the "Shareholder"), obtained two default judgments against the Company, one of which was for the payment of money, and the second recognizing the Shareholder as the
Company's sole director and officer.  The Shareholder alleges that the Company settled the matters addressed in these two default judgments in a settlement agreement (the "First Settlement Agreement") whereby the Company agreed to (i) issue common shares
to the Shareholder such that he would then own 95% of the total amount of issued and outstanding common shares; (ii) deem the Shareholder the rightful owner of certain common shares issued by Fidelity Holdings, Inc. (the "Fidelity Shares") and certain
royalties owed by a third party (the "Royalties"); and (iii) recognize the Shareholder as the Company's sole director and Chief Executive Officer.



The Company claims that the First Settlement Agreement was obtained without management's knowledge.  Upon becoming aware of the First Settlement Agreement, the Company entered into a second settlement agreement (the "Second Settlement
Agreement") with the Shareholder in which the Shareholder relinquished his claims to the matters established in the First Settlement Agreement in exchange for (i) 4,740,000 common shares of the Company (the "Settlement Shares"); and (ii) the Company's
agreement that the Shareholder is the rightful owner of the Fidelity Shares and the Royalties.  The financial statements have been presented to reflect the Second Settlement Agreement.



Subsequent to the date of the Second Settlement Agreement, the Company issued the Settlement Shares.  The certificate evidencing the Settlement Shares had a restrictive legend on it.  The Shareholder arranged for the Court to require
the exchange of the Settlement Shares for shares without any restrictive legend.  The Company alleges that it did not receive notice of the hearing on this matter and that the Court's order with respect to it was obtained improperly.



The Shareholder and purportedly the Company on February 28, 2001 commenced another law suit against Brian Kitts, Douglas Smith, Olde Monmouth Stock Transfer Co. Inc. and other unnamed defendants, claiming that the Shareholder and
another individual are the directors and officers of the Company, and further denies the validity and enforceability of the Second Settlement Agreement, and makes various claims for damages.  Brian Kitts and Douglas Smith claim that by a majority consent
in October, 1999 Brian Kitts obtained control of the Company and subsequently Douglas Smith and other directors were duly appointed, and further, that the Second Settlement Agreement is valid and enforceable.



These two legal matters have now been consolidated into one law suit.



The Shareholder has also sued Fidelity Holdings, Inc. in a separate action in United States District Court, in which ownership of the Fidelity Shares is an issue.  The Shareholder takes the position in this action that the Second
Settlement Agreement does not bind him.  The Company had entered an appearance in this action to assert that if the Second Settlement Agreement does not apply to the Shareholder, then the Company asserts ownership to the Fidelity Shares.  The Court has
ruled that the Company has no ownership interest in the Fidelity Shares.  The third party claims by Fidelity Holdings, Inc. against the Company for indemnity remains outstanding.

Management is uncertain as to the resolution of these matters at this time.



Item 2.	Changes in Securities.

Shares Issued from Treasury

On March 9, 2001, we issued 5,233,368 common shares, at an effective price of $0.48 per share for total consideration of $2,528,543, to one of our officers/directors in a transaction private in nature, relying on the exemptions
from registration under Section 4(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

Stock Options

Item 6.	Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K.

Reports on Form 8-K

As previously reported, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on January 3, 2001 and a Current Report on Form 8-K/A, also on January 3, 2001, both of which were filed with respect to the change in our certifying accountant from
Braverman & Company to Deloitte & Touche LLP.  On December 28, 2000, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved our decision to engage Deloitte & Touche LLP to audit our financial statements from that point forward.  On January 16,
2001, we filed a further Current Report on Form 8-K/A in this regard, attaching a letter from our previous auditors, Braverman & Company.
