Part I

Item 1.  Description of Business.

Business Development
--------------------

    Virtual Telecom, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), was organized
to engage in the business of developing and marketing various real-time market
data and financial information services as well as online brokerage capabilities
via a range of client interfaces based on Internet technologies. Its services
are marketed under the brand name "FirstQuote" and are available via its own
wide-area Internet protocol network by dial-up or dedicated access, as well as
from any other Internet access point. The Company also provides related
supporting network services to users of its financial information services.

    The Company was organized on July 3, 1996 under the laws of the State of
Delaware and has two corporate predecessors, Virtual Telecom SA, a Swiss
Corporation, and Moke Acquisition Corp. ("Moke"), a Delaware corporation.
Virtual Telecom SA was organized on May 19, 1994 to engage in the development
and marketing of Internet content-based products and Internet dial-up access to
the Swiss market. Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization dated July 3, 1996, the holders of all of the issued and
outstanding capital shares of Virtual Telecom SA transferred those shares to the
Company in exchange for the Company's issuance of 3,193,540 shares of its $.001
common stock ("Common Stock"). The share for share exchange between the
shareholders of Virtual Telecom SA and the Company was formally consummated
effective as of July 22, 1996. Virtual Telecom SA presently exists as the wholly
owned operating subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of
Merger dated July 31, 1996 between the Company and Moke, Moke merged with and
into the Company effective as of August 30, 1996. Prior to the merger, Moke was
a publicly held shell corporation with approximately 4,090,448 shares of Common
Stock outstanding. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, each
outstanding share of Moke common stock was converted into .0867471 shares of the
Company's Common Stock, for an aggregate issuance of 355,039 shares of the
Company's Common Stock to the shareholders of Moke.

    During the last quarter of 1996, the Company conducted a private placement
of units ("Units") of its securities at $3.50 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of
one share ("Series A Preferred Share") of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock
and one common stock purchase warrant ("Unit Warrant"). Each Series A Preferred
Share was initially convertible into Common Stock at a conversion price of $3.50
per share, provided that on the one year anniversary of the original issuance of
the Series A Preferred Stock, the conversion price was to be adjusted to 70% of
the average last sale price of the Common Stock during the 30 trading days
immediately preceding the first anniversary date. In December 1997, this
conversion price was adjusted to $1.75 per share. Each Unit Warrant initially
entitled its holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price
of $7.00 per share until July 31, 1998, at which time the unexercised Unit
Warrants shall expire by their own terms. In December 1997, the Company adjusted
the exercise price of each Unit Warrant to $3.50 per share and extended the
expiration date to December 31, 2000. The Company sold 283,781 Units to European
institutional investors for the gross proceeds of $993,233.50.

    During the first quarter of 1997, the Company conducted a private placement
of shares of Common Stock whereby 534,063 shares of Common Stock were sold for
gross proceeds of $873,000.

    During the second quarter of 1997, the Company conducted a private placement
of units ("Units") of its securities at $5.00 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of
two shares of Common Stock and one warrant which entitled its holder to purchase
one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share. The Company
sold 204,000 Units for gross proceeds of $1,020,000. In February 1998, the Board
of Directors of the Company resolved to reduce the price of the Units from $5.00
per Unit to $4.00 per Unit and thereby to issue an additional 102,000 shares of
Common Stock to the Unit purchasers.

    In December 1997, the Company sold 1,923,716 shares ("Series B Shares") of
its Series B Preferred Stock to Alta-Berkeley V, C.V. and three affiliated Alta-
Berkeley venture capital funds (collectively referred to as "Alta-Berkeley") for
$3,000,000 of which $1,000,000 was received in December 1997 and $2,000,000 in
March 1998.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
    In January 1999 the Company sold 3,783,784 shares of its Series C Preferred
Stock to five parties, including Alta-Berkeley, two other venture capital funds,
a bank and a private investor, for a total consideration of $7,000,000.

    Concurrent with the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company
and Alta-Berkeley entered into an Investors' Rights Agreement, which has been
amended to include the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the
terms of this agreement, the Company increased the authorized number of its
directors to nine. Holders of the shares of both the Series B Preferred Stock as
a class, and the Series C Preferred Stock as a class, are each entitled to elect
two members of the Company's Board (four in total). In addition, the Company has
granted the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred
Stock (the "Holders") the right of first refusal to purchase a pro rata share of
any new equity securities which the Company may issue. The right of first
refusal expires on January 24, 2006. The Investors' Rights Agreement also grants
the Holders demand registration rights in certain circumstances as well as
certain approval and disclosure rights over certain management and strategic
matters.

    The shares of both the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred
Stock have a liquidation preference of the greater of (i) $3.50 per share if the
event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up occurs on or before December 31,
2000 and thereafter of $5.20 per share and (ii) $1.85 plus a pro-rata share of
any excess liquidation proceeds accruing to the common shareholders. The shares
are all convertible at any time into shares of the Company's Common Stock on a
one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment pursuant to certain anti-dilution
rights, and have full voting rights.

    Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the Company include
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Virtual Telecom SA, a Swiss corporation, and
FirstQuote Limited, an English corporation. The Company's executive offices are
located at 12 Avenue des Morgines, 1213 Petit-Lancy 1, Geneva, Switzerland;
telephone number +41 (22) 879 0879.

Certain financial information is presented in Swiss Francs, the unit of currency

General

    Virtual Telecom is engaged in the business of developing and marketing
Internet-based financial services and solutions to the European investment
community. The Company provides real-time or delayed market data, news and
financial information as well as online dealing capabilities over the Internet
to institutional, corporate and private users.

    The Company's financial information services are offered on a direct
subscription basis or as a co-branded product to third parties, including,
brokerage firms, banks, insurance companies, fund managers, institutional,
professional traders, news organizations and Internet service providers, who
desire to offer the services directly to their own customers. The Company also
offers to institutional clients turnkey solutions for Internet-based online 
dealing capabilities. In order to provide an end-to-end solution, the Company
also derives revenue through the provision of Internet access and network
connectivity services to its corporate and institutional clients.

    The Company's services are available via its own wide-area Internet 
network backbone by dial-up or dedicated access, as well as from any other
Internet point of access world-wide. Its "ticker plant" and client interface
technologies are based on systems developed in the USA.

Background

    During 1996 and the first quarter of 1997, the Company implemented the
telecommunications and information processing infrastructure required to deliver
its services. The Company commenced pilot and thereafter commercial operations
during the second and third quarters of 1997. Active marketing activities were
commenced

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
towards the end of the second quarter of 1998. Thereafter the Company has
concentrated on growing its client base, primarily in Switzerland, Germany and
France, as well as developing online dealing services for these markets.

    During the last quarter of 1998, the Company developed and commenced hosting
of a financial portal website for Les Echos, a member company of the Pearson
Group, a leading European financial media organization. This strategic alliance
also embodies a joint marketing arrangement for the Company's FirstQuote
services as well as promotion of its activities to the website visitors.
Following the introduction of this service, the Company has opened a sales
office in Paris. The Company has implemented a similar project for Agefi.com, a
leading Swiss financial media concern during the first quarter of 1999.

    In January 1999, the Company entered into an arrangement with Maerki Baumann
& Co., a Swiss (Zurich) based private bank, for implementation and joint
marketing of an Internet-based electronic trading service enabling its clients
to trade securities and receive account information over the Internet. The on-
line trading service is offered as a co-branded version of FirstQuote. The
Company receives monthly fees for operating and maintaining the system as well
as a share of the transactional revenue generated by trades routed through the
system.

Strategy

    The Company believes that until recently western European investors have had
relatively limited interest in investing in publicly traded equity securities
compared to those in the US. However, in recent years western Europeans have
directed more of the their investments towards the equity securities, evidenced
by the emergence of several junior equity markets, including the New Market
section of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, the Alternative Investment Market
section of the London Stock Exchange, the Nouveau Marche section of the Paris
Stock Exchange and the European Automated Securities Dealers and Quotation
System (EASDAQ). The growth in European equity investments has created an
opportunity for providers of related financial information services and
electronic brokerage solutions. According to Frost & Sullivan, a market research
firm, the market for financial information services alone in Western Europe was
estimated to be $3.5 billion and growing at the rate of 10% per annum in 1997.

    The Company further believes that most providers of Internet-based
electronic brokerage services in western Europe are affiliates or subsidiaries
of US providers, and as such provide services having a distinctly US focus. The
Company's internal marketing studies indicate that European banks and brokerage
firms have a high degree of interest in offering an Internet-based information
and brokerage services to the their client base. However, few of the European
banks or brokerages presently offer these services. As a result, the Company
believes that significant market opportunities exist for a provider of financial
information and electronic brokerage services that is able to address the
interests and requirements of the European investor.

    The Company's objective is to be a leading provider of Internet-based
services and solutions to the European investment community. The Company plans
to achieve these objectives through the development of joint-venture
arrangements (strategic alliances) with banks and securities brokerages,
financial service providers, financial news organizations and Internet service
providers throughout Europe. As required, the Company will develop and operate
co-branded websites for the purpose of offering basic free-of-charge quote
services (delayed data), which serve a marketing platform for its more
sophisticated subscription-based FirstQuote market data and online brokerage
solutions. FirstQuote services will also be co-branded within the framework of
such joint-venture arrangements. The Company also intends to aggressively market
its FirstQuote services on a direct sales basis. Furthermore, the Company
markets its FirstQuote services directly from its website in a highly automated
e-commerce manner, requiring little or no human intervention in the sales
process.

    Key elements of the Company's strategy include:

    State of the Art Technology: The Company's technologies and services are
based on software licensed from Townsend Analytics Ltd. The Company believes
that Townsend Analytics is a recognized world leader in the development and
commercialization of software and technologies dedicated to Internet-based
quotation, trading and exchange activities. The owner and President of Townsend
Analytics, Mr. Stuart Townsend, has served on the Board of Directors of the
Company since April 1997.

    European Focus: The Company believes that it offers Internet-based
information and on-line brokerage services that are uniquely European in nature.
Until now, the dominant providers of Internet-based information and brokerage
services in Europe have been US based companies which, in the opinion of the
Company, offer a service

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
that is distinctly US in nature. The Company's quotation and financial services
cover all major world markets and exchanges. However, in the opinion of
management, the Company's services provide greater focus on pan-European markets
and exchanges than other competing services. In the case of joint-venture
arrangements for the provision of a co-branded service, the Company works with
its local partner to customize the offered service to suit the cultural need
and investment profile of the partner's existing and targeted clientele.

    Target Existing Customer Bases: By focusing on the development of co-branded
information and brokerage services pursuant to strategic alliances, the Company
will acquire an immediate access to an existing client base. The Company plans
to enter into one or more strategic relationships with banks and securities
brokerages, financial services providers, financial news organizations and
Internet service providers in each of the major investment and geographical
communities of Western Europe. The Company believes that this strategy will
accelerate the expansion of its services throughout Europe and, at the same
time, reduce the marketing costs typically associated with the rollout of a
service of this nature throughout an area made up of several large and
culturally diverse communities.

    Development of FirstQuote Brand Name: The Company has applied for trademark
registration of the FirstQuote mark in the USA, Switzerland and throughout the
European Union. The Company intends to market its services and solutions
throughout Europe under the FirstQuote brand name. The Company shall endeavor to
create a high degree of consumer awareness of the FirstQuote name and the
association of quality and reliable services with such name in the European
investment banking community. The Company intends to leverage its FirstQuote
brandname through the future development and marketing of additional services,
including a portal website linking the customer to an array of Internet websites
offering financial and investment services.

analytical tools and functions when compared to FirstQuote Professional. The
service consists of a fixed page market data screens featuring (from the above
table) Market Minder; MultiQuote; Ticker; Time and Sales; News; Charts; and
Internet Browser. The fixed page nature of this product provides for
customizable configurations to be implemented for larger groups, which are then
non-modifiable by users.

    InvestMaster: The InvestMaster range of technologies is designed for the
personal investor and small professional user, directly or as clients of
strategic partners. The service is based on Web push-technology, using the same
server side data engine that powers the FirstQuote Professional Lite services,
and client side web plug-ins based on Java and ActiveX technologies, producing
tabular or chart format output. The InvestMaster technology provides either
delayed or real-time data or news in snapquote formats.

    The Company's market data and financial information services are based on
software licenses from Townsend Analytics Ltd. of Chicago, Illinois. See
"Trademarks and Technology Licenses" below for a summary of the terms and
conditions of the Company's license agreement with Townsend Analytics. The
Company's operations are conducted pursuant to arrangements with other
significant third party providers, including Standard & Poor's Comstock (a
Division of McGraw-Hill International), Fides Informatique, Compaq Computer,
Swisscom, British Telecom, Transpac/France Telecom, Carrier One and Colt
Telecom. See `Third Party Providers" below for a summary of the terms of the
arrangements with these third party providers.

    FirstQuote Trader: the Company offers an on-line dealing solution under
the name FirstQuote Trader. The service consist of a turnkey solution to banks
and brokerage firms providing them the ability to offer Internet-based
electronic brokerage services to their clients. The service involves the design
of appropriate network architectures as well as the integration of the Company's
licensed trading server platform software with the institution's existing
settlement and administration systems. The Company provides the electronic order
entry and routing technologies as well as the security systems, while the
institution's existing computer systems provide order approval and execution
functions. As a result the institution's clientele is offered a complete order
entry, execution, and real time profit/loss portfolio information via the
Internet. The FirstQuote Trader interface also incorporates the

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
FirstQuote Professional or FirstQuote Lite service functionality thus providing
a complete package of decision support, order entry, order routing and portfolio
monitoring capability.

    The Company is not a licensed bank or securities brokerage firm nor does it
intend to obtain any such licenses at this time. Therefore, the Company intends
for the foreseeable future to offer the on-line trading solution as a co-branded
product to licensed banks and brokerage firms. The Company's on-line trading
solution is based on a software license from Townsend Analytics. See "Trademarks
and Technology Licenses" below for a summary of the terms and conditions of the
Company's license agreement with Townsend Analytics.

information and online dealing services by way of dial-up or dedicated line. The
Company also leases bandwidth from various European telecommunications carriers
further enabling access to the Company's services from any Internet access point
worldwide.

    The Company also provides services relating to the development and hosting
of customized web sites associated with the co-branded implementations of the
market data and financial information services and electronic brokerage
solutions described above.

Strategic Partnering Arrangements
---------------------------------

    The Company's business plan focuses on the development of significant
partnering arrangements with key banks and securities brokerages, financial
service providers, news organizations and Internet content providers throughout
Europe. The purpose of these partnering arrangements is to provide investment
and financial related services, such as market data and financial information
services or on-line brokerage activities, to a targeted clientele as the co-
branded service of the Company and the particular partner. To date, the Company
has entered into three such arrangements, as follows:

    Maerki Baumann: The Company has entered into a Real-Time Financial
Information and On-Line Dealing Agreement dated March 10, 1998 with Maerki
Baumann & Co. a Zurich, Switzerland based private bank. Pursuant to the
agreement, the Company and has developed for Maerki Baumann's use a real-time
Internet based order matching system for all stocks traded on the Swiss Stock
Exchanges, as well as for US securities. The Company has implemented a trading
server platform based on software licensed by the Company from Townsend
Analytics and has integrated this with Maerki Baumann's existing securities
settlement and client account administration systems. The result is a solution
that allows Maerki Baumann the ability to offer its clientele complete order
entry and execution, and real time account and portfolio information via the
Internet. Each on-line brokerage service will also include a subscription for
the FirstQuote Professional or FirstQuote Lite client interface as well.

    Under their agreement, the Company is responsible for the development,
installation and maintenance of the trading servers and application software.
The Company is not licensed under the laws of Switzerland, or any other
jurisdiction, to engage in securities brokerage activities. Therefore, the
Company's role is that of a technology solution provider. Maerki Baumann is
responsible for all brokerage activities and client account responsibility.

    In consideration for the above services, the Company will receive fixed
monthly fees, user license fees, plus a transaction fee on each electronic
trade.

    Les Echos: The Company has entered into an agreement dated November 4, 1998
for the development and hosting of additional web site material (http://stocks.

Third Party Providers
---------------------

    The Company's services are provided with the assistance of the following
businesses:

    Standard & Poor's ComStock: The Company receives stock and commodity
information pursuant to an Information Distribution License Agreement dated
August 23, 1996 between the Company and the Standard & Poor's ComStock (a
division of McGraw-Hill International (UK) Ltd.). Standard & Poor's ComStock is
licensed to distribute market data and financial information from most US and
international stock, mercantile, options and currency exchanges. Standard &
Poor's ComStock provides the Company with data on a real time basis via a

Competition
-----------

    The market for financial information and on-line brokerage services over the
Internet is rapidly evolving and becoming competitive. The Company expects
competition to continue and intensify in the future. In the area of market data
and financial services, the Company faces direct competition from several
companies that provide for the delivery of financial data over the Internet or
other electronic means. The Company believes its primary competitors include
Reuters, Bloomberg, and Bridge.

    In the area of electronic brokerage services, the Company seeks to enter
into partnering arrangements with licensed banks and brokerage firms enabling
them to provide the service in turn to their own clients. Such arrangements will
compete with electronic brokerage firms as the eSchwab division of Charles
Schwab & Co., Inc., E-Trade Group and DLJdirect, a subsidiary of Donaldson,
Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation. The partnering arrangements will also
encounter competition from brokerage firms offering conventional assisted sales
operations.

    Many of the Company's competitors have longer operating histories and
significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than
the Company. In addition, many of the Company's competitors offer a wider range
of services and financial products, and thus may be able to respond more quickly
to new or changing opportunities, technologies and customer requirements. There
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete effectively with
current or future competitors or that such competition will not have a material
adverse affect on the Company's business, financial condition and operating
results.

Government Regulation
---------------------

    The Company's market data and financial and on-line brokerage services are
not currently subject to direct regulation by Swiss, European Union or other
law, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally. Changes in the
regulatory environment relating to the Internet content or connectivity
industries, including regulatory changes that directly or indirectly affect
telecommunications costs, could have a material adverse affect on the Company's
business. The Company cannot predict the impact, if any, that future regulation
or regulatory changes may have on its business.

Employees
---------

    The Company is staffed with 25 full-time employees and 3 full-time
consultants at present, 6 of whom are involved in administration, 11 of whom are
involved in software development and engineering and 11 of whom are involved in
sales, sales support and marketing.

Item 2.  Description of Property.

    The Company's executive offices are located in Geneva, Switzerland and
consist of approximately 340 square meters of leased premises. The Company's
lease for these premises expires on August 30, 1999 and provides for monthly
rent of $10,800.

    In addition the Company rents office space in Zurich, Switzerland (50 square
meters) and Paris, France (30 square meters) on a calendar year basis for a
combined total of approximately $4,900 per month.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.

    There are no pending legal proceedings to which the Company or the
properties of the Company are subject. In addition, no proceedings are known to
be contemplated by a governmental authority against the Company or any officer
or director of the Company.

Item 4.  Submission Of Matters To A Vote Of Security Holders.

</TABLE>

    The Company considers its Common Stock to be thinly traded and that any
reported bid or sale prices may not be a true market-based valuation of the
Common Stock. As of March 22, 1999, there were approximately 348 record holders
of the Company's Common Stock.

    The Company has not paid any cash dividends since its inception and does not
contemplate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. It is anticipated that
earnings, if any, will be retained for the operation of the Company's business.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
---------------------------------------

    During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, the Company sold
unregistered securities in the following transactions:

    In June 1998, the Company granted three of its employees options to purchase
an aggregate of 110,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Company's 1997
Stock Option Plan. The options had an exercise price of $2.00 per share, have a
one-year vesting period and expire in June 2001. The options were issued
pursuant to Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act. There was no underwriter involved in
this issuance.

    In December 1998, the Company granted thirteen of its employees options to
purchase an aggregate of 270,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the
Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan. The options had an exercise price of $2.00 per
share, have a one-year vesting period and expire in December 2001. The options
were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act. There was no underwriter
involved in this issuance.

Item 6.  Management's Discussion And Analysis Or Plan Of Operation.

Background
----------

    The Company is engaged in the business of developing and providing various
real-time market data and financial information services as well as online
dealing capabilities via a range of client interfaces based on Internet
technologies. Its services are marketed under the brand name "FirstQuote". Its
services are available via its own wide-area Internet protocol network by dial-
up or dedicated access, as well as from any other Internet access point. The
Company also provides related supporting network services to users of its
financial information services

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
 
    Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the Company include
its wholly owned subsidiary, Virtual Telecom SA, a Swiss corporation and
FirstQuote Ltd. a UK company.

    As of March 1999, the Company is providing financial information or
networking services to over 160 clients, with associated recurring monthly
revenues of approximately $80,000. Non-recurring revenues have averaged $12,000
per month since commercial marketing activities commenced.

    Regarding the Company's plan of operations for the 1999 fiscal year, it has
targeted strategic alliances in key European financial centers from which to
leverage its growth. It plans to market its financial market information,
analytical tools and online order entry/matching systems both under its own
product names and as co-branded implementations with institutional clients.

    Currency Exchange Rates: Although the Company reports its results in US
dollars, virtually all of its revenues and expenses are denominated in other
currencies, primarily Swiss francs, Euros and Pounds sterling. Consequently, the
Company's net results are directly affected by any changes in the exchange rate
between the US dollar on the one hand, and the Swiss franc, Euros or Pounds
sterling on the other. Transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries are
recorded based on the functional currency of each particular company. Assets and
liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries are translated at the exchange
rate in effect at each year-end. Income statement accounts are translated at the
average rate of exchange prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments
arising from differences in exchange rates from period to period are included in
the cumulative translation adjustment account in stockholders' equity.

Results of Operations
---------------------

    This section should be read in conjunction with the annual financial
statements presented on pages 15 to 32.

    Revenue of $534,715 was reported for the year ended December 31, 1998 which
amounts to an increase of 376% over that of $112,446 for the prior year.
Revenues in the fourth quarter of 1998 were 20% above those of the third quarter
of 1998. Revenue is comprised of financial market data services and related
network connectivity services, including web services. While network related
revenues accounted for 53% of total revenue for the current year, the relative
importance of this source of revenue is diminishing as the Company's FirstQuote
user base expands. Financial market data services accounted for 52% of revenue
for the fourth quarter of 1998.

    Selling & Market Development expenses for the current year were $1,430,597
or 115% above the amount of $664,591 for the prior year. This reflects increased
levels of operating activity as well as the commencement of commercial marketing
activities during the year.

    General and administrative expenses were $2,861,662 for the current year, an
increase of 73% from $1,654,436 in the prior year. Staff costs represent the
major component of this expense and have increased 171% from $454,560 to
$1,232,645. Depreciation has increased by 182% from $184,794 to $520,421. Office
expenses (including travel expenses) have increased by 70% from $521,015 to
$885,316. Professional fees have decreased by 50% from $444,485 to $223,280.

    The net operating loss for the year was $3,996,322, which is 69% above the
loss for the previous period of $2,357,781, and results from the factors
mentioned above.

    The foreign exchange gains in the current year and losses in the previous
year arise essentially from the revaluation of amounts due by Virtual Telecom SA
to Virtual Telecom Inc., which have been denominated in US dollars.

Liquidity and Financial Condition
---------------------------------

    As of December 31, 1998, the Company had negative working capital of
$1,595,476 including an amount of $1,000,000 due to a related party, which was
converted to Series C Preferred Stock in January 1999. The negative working
capital was the result of a build up of payables during the time that additional
financing was being secured.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
 
    Subsequent to the year-end, the Company secured additional equity financing
through the sale of 3,783,784 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $7,000,000,
including the conversion of $1,000,000 due from a related party.

    The amount of cash and cash equivalents has decreased from $569,264 to
$229,450 during the current year. The Company has continued to generate negative
cashflows since its cost base exceeds its revenues from operating activities.
The net cash burn rate (excluding capital expenditure) during the current year
and fourth quarter of 1998 was approximately $270,000 and $350,000 per month,
respectively. The increase in the amount for the fourth quarter compared with
the whole year, reflects the increasing levels of operating activity during the
course of the year. Capital expenditure for the year amounted to $466,824.

    Based on the current levels and trends of revenue and operating expenses,
the Company believes that it has sufficient capital to continue its activities
for the next twelve months. However, the plan of operations for the 1999 fiscal
year will require increases in the amounts of operating and capital expenditure
above those incurred to date. While revenues are similarly projected to increase
during the year, it is not certain that these revenues and the above-mentioned
financing will be sufficient to cover these expenditures until the time that a
breakeven situation may be achieved. At this time there are no firm commitments
or agreements on the part of any party to provide any additional debt or equity
capital to the Company and there can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to obtain additional capital. The Company's inability to increase revenue 
or obtain additional debt or equity capital on a timely basis will, in all
likelihood, materially adversely affect its future planned growth of operations
and revenues.

Euro Conversion
---------------

    On January 1, 1999, eleven of the fifteen member countries of the European
Union ("EU") establish fixed conversion rates between their existing sovereign
currencies and the Euro, and adopted the Euro as their common legal currency.
Switzerland is not a member of the EU and the Company currently denominates most
of its transactions in Swiss francs, the unit of currency of Switzerland.
Furthermore, subscribers to the Company's services are typically invoiced in the
currency of their resident jurisdiction. The Company has successfully adapted
its information systems and practices to accommodate the Euro in those EU member
countries in which it offers its services. Moreover, the content within the
financial information distributed by the Company (notably security quotations)
has successfully begun to be denominated in Euro, commencing on January 1, 1999.

    Euro conversion is expected to generally increase cross-border price
transparency among the participating countries and result in a more competitive
European market. The Company is uncertain as to the effect, if any, that Euro
conversion will have on its ability to sell its products and services in the
European market. Euro conversion could potentially impact pricing strategies and
demand for the Company's services in the European market, lead to increased
competition within the European market for the specific types of services sold
by the Company, or impact the Company's relationships with vendors and
licensors. As a result of competitive pressures, the Company could also
potentially be required to denominate future transactions in the Euro and incur
currency risk and conversion costs as a result.

    There can be no assurance that Euro conversion will not have a material,
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operation.

Year 2000 Compliance
--------------------

    The Year 2000 problem results from the use by computers of two digits rather
than four digits to define the applicable year. The use of only two digits was
common during the period when computer resources were much more expensive than
today. As a result, when such computer systems must process dates both before
and after January 1, 2000, the two-digit year identification may create
processing errors and system failures. These effects may be apparent in both
information processing systems as well as mechanical operations controlled by
computers (embedded microprocessors). The effects of this issue are further
compounded by the interdependence of computer systems between suppliers and
customers.

                                      -12-
<PAGE>
 
    The Company utilizes computer software applications and operating systems in
distributing its financial information service, operating its network
infrastructure and various administrative and billing functions. In addition,
the Company's financial information service is reliant upon the receipt of
financial data from external vendors such Standard & Poor's Comstock, and the
processing of that information using software licensed to the Company by third
parties such as Townsend Analytics. To the extent the Company's computer
software applications, or those of its information vendors and software
licensers, are unable to operate accurately after January 1, 2000, some degree
of modification, or even possibly replacement of such applications, may be
necessary.

    In the event that the Company's systems or the systems of its third party
information vendors and licensers are not materially Year 2000 compliant, the
Company could experience a disruption in the provision of its financial
information and network access services.

    The Company has appointed a Year 2000 Committee to assess the scope of the
Company's risks in this regard and adopt appropriate measures to bring its
applications into compliance. To date the costs associated with this project
have amounted to approximately $10,000, all of which are internal expenses.

    The committee has completed the process of identifying the core processes,
internal equipment as well as external services and software licenses that may
not be Year 2000 compliant. The cost of replacing internal IT equipment and
applications known to be not Year 2000 compliant is approximately $20,000.
Internal non-IT systems employed are not critical and have been determined not
to pose significant risks.

    Where external risks have been identified, the Company has sent confirmation
letters to information vendors and software licensors to ascertain their
progress in identifying and addressing problems that their own computer systems
may face in correctly processing date information related to the Year 2000. The
Company is in the process of reviewing the responses received from these parties
in order to assess further steps to be taken.

    In addition, and independent from Year 2000 issues but having the effect of
reducing risks related thereto, the Company has begun to diversify the equipment
and data suppliers that it uses and has identified alternative suppliers where
needed, should failures occur.

    The most likely worst case scenario for the Company would involve the loss
of data feeds from external sources. If such were to occur the Company would
have to switch to alternate data suppliers which may result in certain
disruptions to its service and potential revenue losses as a result.

    The future costs estimated to be required to resolve Year 2000 issues amount
to $20,000 of internal resources relating to a number of planned projects. The
further findings of this committee will be disclosed in due course.

    No assurance can be given that any of the Company's or third party systems
is or will be Year 2000 compliant. Neither can assurance be given that the
eventual costs required to address remaining unresolved Year 2000 issues or that
the impact of the Company's failure to achieve substantial Year 2000 compliance
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition or results of operations.

                    VIRTUAL TELECOM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
                       As of December 31, 1998 and 1997

1.  Description of the Company and its subsidiaries

    Virtual Telecom, Inc. ("Virtual Telecom" or the "Company") was incorporated
    in Delaware on July 3, 1996 for the purpose of holding all the shares of
    Virtual Telecom S.A., a Swiss corporation formed in 1994. The owners of
    Virtual Telecom S.A. contributed all of the Virtual Telecom S.A. shares in
    consideration for 3,194,540 common shares of Virtual Telecom, Inc. The
    accompanying financial statements have been prepared as if the acquisition
    had occurred at Virtual Telecom S.A.'s inception (May 19, 1994), using the
    historical costs of each entity.

    Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the Company include
    its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Virtual Telecom SA, a Swiss corporation, as
    well as FirstQuote Limited, an English corporation founded in December 1997.

    The Company is engaged in the business of developing and marketing a range
    of real-time market data and online dealing services over the Internet and
    providing related supporting network connectivity services. Its principal
    markets are currently Switzerland, Germany and France. During 1996 and early
    1997, the Company acquired and implemented the necessary infrastructure,
    comprising data feed handlers, data servers and telecommunication networks.
    The Company commenced pilot commercial operations during the latter part of
    1997. The Company commenced active marketing of its services during the
    second quarter of 1998 and has concentrated on growing its client base as
    well as offering additional service content (in the form of additional
    exchange data, news as well as online dealing capabilities) during the
    second half of 1998.

2.  Summary of significant accounting policies
  
    a)  Principle of consolidation

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
        Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
        accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

    b)  Use of estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
        accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management
        to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
        assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
        liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
        amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
        results could differ from these estimates.

    c)  Revenue recognition

        The Company's subsidiary develops, installs, and maintains systems that
        allow its clients to access the financial information and market data
        services that it provides over an Internet connection as well as to
        access the Internet at large. The Company therefore derives both single
        installation and recurring revenues.

        Installation revenues and related costs are recognized upon completion
        of installation. Where installation revenues exceed installation costs,
        then installation revenues are recognized over the service period and 
        not at installation.

                                      -21-

        Recurring revenues for financial data services and network services are
        normally invoiced in advance. The resulting amount of unearned income
        not attributable to the period of invoicing is reflected under current
        liabilities as deferred revenue, and recognized in the profit and loss
        account according to the month of applicability of the underlying
        services.

    d)  Foreign currency translation

        The Company accounts for foreign currency transactions in accordance
        with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 52, "Foreign
        Currency Translation" which provides for the translation of assets and
        liabilities at the end of period current rate and of operations and cash
        flows at the rates existing at the date of the transaction, or
        appropriate average. Foreign currency transactions are translated into
        the functional currency at the rate existing at the date of the
        transaction and outstanding balances are revalued at the year-end rate
        with the resulting exchange gain or loss being included in the statement
        of operations.

        The functional currency of the Company's main operating subsidiary
        Virtual Telecom SA, is the Swiss Franc (CHF). The functional currency of
        Virtual Telecom, Inc. and FirstQuote Limited is US dollars.

        The resulting gain or loss on translation into the reporting currency is
        included as a separate component of equity under "cumulative translation
        adjustment".

    e)  Cash and cash equivalents

        The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an initial
        maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

    f)  Property and equipment

        Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the
        straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 3
        to 5 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of
        the life of the lease or the life of the asset. Upon sale, any gain or
        loss is included in the statement of operations. Maintenance and minor
        replacements are charged to operations as incurred.

    g)  Income taxes

        The Company utilizes the liability method to account for income taxes.
        Under this method, deferred taxes are determined based on the
        differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
        liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
        differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are
        established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts
        expected to be realized.

        The Company's subsidiary, Virtual Telecom SA, is incorporated in
        Switzerland. The tax charge in Switzerland is an accumulation of the
        taxes due to the city, the canton (state) and the federal authorities.

    h)  Stock-based Compensation

        Statement of financial accounting standards No. 123, "Accounting for
        stock-based compensation" ("SFAS No. 123") was effective for fiscal
        years beginning after December 15, 1996.  This statement 

                                      -22-
<PAGE>
 
        provides for a fair value based method of accounting for grants of
        equity instruments to employees or suppliers in return for goods or
        services. With respect to stock-based compensation to employees, SFAS
        No. 123 permits the continued application of the provisions prescribed
        by APB Opinion No. 25. However, pro forma disclosures of net income and
        earnings per share must be presented as if the fair value based method
        had been applied in measuring compensation cost.

        The Company has elected to continue with the accounting method
        prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25 and presented the required pro forma
        disclosures of SFAS 123 in Note 11.d).

    i)  Fair value of financial instruments

        The carrying value of financial instruments included in current assets
        and liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity of
        these items.

    j)  Segment Reporting

        Statement No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
        Related Information (Issue Date 6/97) requires the reconciliation of
        total segment information presented to the corresponding amounts in the
        consolidated financial statements, and establishes standards for related
        disclosure about products and services, geographic areas and major
        customers. The Company adopted SFAS 131 in 1998 and manages its
        activities as one segment under the guidelines of the standards.

    k)  Advertising expenditure

        Advertising is expensed as incurred.

    l)  Net loss per common share

        Net loss per common share is based on the net loss divided by the
        weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

        Convertible preferred stock and outstanding warrants have not been
        included, as their effect would be antidilutive.

    m)  Comprehensive Income

        Statement No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income (Issue Date 6/97)
        requires companies to report all changes in equity during a period,
        except those resulting from investment by owners and distribution to
        owners. SFAS No. 130 was effective for periods beginning July 1, 1998
        and the Company has disclosed Comprehensive Income / (Loss), which
        encompasses net income and foreign currency translation adjustments, in
        the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity.

    n)  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
        Activities (Issue Date 6/98) establishes accounting and reporting
        standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain
        derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the
        balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair
        value. The Statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair
        value be recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting
        criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a
        derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged
        item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally
        document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that
        receive hedge accounting. Statement No. 133 is effective for fiscal
        years beginning after June 15, 1999and must be applied to (a) derivative
        instruments and (b) certain derivative instruments embedded in hybrid
        contracts that were issued, acquired, or substantively modified after
        December 31, 1997. The Company has not yet quantified the impact of
        adopting Statement No. 133.

        Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
        Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" provides guidance on
        accounting for the costs of computer software developed or obtained for
        internal use. This SOP requires computer software costs that are
        incurred in the preliminary project stage to be expensed as incurred.
        Once the capitalization criteria of the SOP have been met, directly
        attributable development costs should be capitalized. It also provides
        guidance on the treatment of upgrade and maintenance expenditures. SOP
        98-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998.
        Costs incurred prior to initial application of this SOP, whether
        capitalized or not, should not be adjusted to the amounts that would
        have been capitalized had this SOP been in effect when those costs were
        incurred. The Company has not determined the impact that this SOP will
        have on its consolidated financial statements.

        Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up
        Activities" (Issued 4/98), requires that costs for start-up activities
        and organization costs should be expensed as incurred. SOP 98-5 is
        effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998 and initial
        adoption is required to be reflected as a cumulative effect of
        accounting change. The Company has not determined the impact that this
        SOP will have on its consolidated financial statements.

    o)  Reclassifications

        Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial
        statements to conform to the current year's presentation.

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

    Depreciation amounted to $520,421 and $184,794, including $301,828 and
    $84,833 in depreciation of assets under capital leases, for the years ended
    December 31, 1998 and 1997 respectively.

    Capitalized interest expense incurred during the installation of the network
    amounted to $6,656 for the year ended December 31, 1997. The network
    equipment was used in operations with effect from October 1, 1997.

    It is the Company's policy to depreciate its computer and network equipment
    over their estimated useful lives based on current conditions. Given the
    rapid technological change affecting such equipment, it is at least
    reasonably possible that the Company's estimates may change in the near
    term.

6.  Capital lease obligations

    The Company's Swiss subsidiary is obligated under capital leases (network,
    computer and cars) and operating leases (offices) expiring at various dates
    through September 2002.

                                         =================    =================

    As at December 31, 1997, the Company owed $250,000 plus accrued interest in
    respect of the balance of two convertible loans received during 1996. In
    April 1998, the Company converted $225,000 of the principal to 145,161
    shares of Common Stock, and repaid $25,000 of principal and $71,089 of
    accrued interest in cash.

    As at December 31, 1998 the Company owed $1,000,000 in respect of a loan
    convertible into preferred stock of the Company upon the conclusion of
    additional equity financing, or redeemable, at the option of the lender. In
    January 1999, the loan was converted into 540,541 shares of Series C
    Preferred Stock (see Note 11.b)

8.  Related party transactions

    a)  Software Solution provider

        In January 1997 the Company entered into a 3-year software distributor
        agreement with a financial software solution provider as disclosed in
        Note 9.c)

    b)  Employment agreements

        Commencing May 1, 1996, the Company entered into five-year term
        employment agreements with two stockholders. Both agreements provide for
        compensation of at least approximately $5,600 per month plus monthly car
        allowances of approximately $420 per month. The agreements can be
        extended up to three additional three-year terms and are subject to
        yearly consumer price index increases. Total compensation paid under
        these agreements amounted to $144,480 during both 1998 and 1997.

    c)  Administrative assistance

        In May 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with a related party
        for the provision of certain administrative services to the U.S. holding
        corporation. Amounts paid under this agreement amounted to $24,000 and
        $48,000 during 1998 and 1997 respectively.

        In addition to this fee, the related party received a total of 8,000
        shares of Common Stock during 1997.

    d)  Office lease

        The Company entered into a month to month sublease agreement with a
        company affiliated with a stockholder, whereby the Company recovers
        certain costs for the use of its premises, utilities and computer
        systems usage. Amounts charged to the affiliate amounted to
        approximately $9,000 per annum during both 1998 and 1997.

9.  Major agreements

    a)  Network equipment service agreement

        In September 1996, the Company entered into an equipment purchase and
        network maintenance service agreement with a major computer equipment
        manufacturer, whereby the Company committed to outsource the maintenance
        and operation of the network for a total of approximately $635,000 from
        1997 through 2000. Decreasing cancellation fees apply if the Company
        terminates the agreement before the end of the four-year term of the
        agreement, ranging from approximately $480,000 to $100,000.

        During December 1998, the Company concluded negotiations to take over
        certain operations and maintenance elements envisaged within the
        agreement for a reduction in the amount of ongoing payments.

        There are other major suppliers of similar equipment and services. A
        change in supplier, however, could cause disruption in service and a
        possible loss of revenues which would adversely affect future operating
        results.

    b)  License to use and disseminate stock market information

        In August 1996, the Company entered into a 30-month license agreement to
        use and disseminate stock market information. After the initial term,
        the agreement is renewable in twelve-month increments, with a 90-day
        cancellation notice period. According to the default terms of the
        agreement, a twelve-month renewal period commenced in February 1999.

    c)  Financial software solution provider

        In January 1997 the Company entered into a 3-year software distributor
        agreement with a financial software solution provider based in the USA
        controlled by a director of the Company. Under the agreement, the
        Company is required to pay royalties based on the number of its clients
        using the software. After the initial term, the agreement is renewable
        on a 12 monthly basis. A 90-day cancellation period applies throughout
        the contract.

        In December 1998 the Company extended the scope of this agreement
        whereby the software provider agreed not to undertake any new licensing
        agreements for Switzerland, Germany, France, and the Benelux countries
        until December 31, 2001. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company
        was committed to paying a single amount of $500,000 ($250,000 of which
        was settled in February 1999 in cash and the remainder in March 1999
        through the issuance of 135,000 common shares), and is further committed
        to minimum royalty payments of $50,000 per month from July 1, 1999,
        $100,000 per month from January 1, 2000 and $150,000 per month from July
        1, 2000.

        While there are other providers of related financial software solutions
        on the market, the specialist nature of the software solutions provided
        under the agreement means that the Company places significant reliance
        on this supplier in terms of securing future revenues.

10. Income Taxes

    Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are provided for temporary
    differences between financial statement income and amounts currently
    taxable.

    Both the Company and its Swiss subsidiary have incurred losses for the years
    ended December 31, 1998 and 1997. For US tax reporting purposes the Company
    has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately 

                                      -27-
<PAGE>
 
    $1,034,443 (1997: $656,260) to offset federal income taxes which expire at
    different dates through the year 2013. These net operating losses could be
    restricted due to a change in ownership. Its Swiss subsidiary has a net
    operating loss carry forward of $5,826,944 (1997: $2,676,718) to offset
    future income taxes in Switzerland which expires between the years 2002 and
    2005.

    Temporary differences that give rise to deferred income tax assets and
    liabilities are:

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

    A valuation allowance is used to reduce the deferred tax asset to a level
    which, more likely than not, will be realized. A valuation allowance for the
    full amount of deferred tax assets has been recorded since certain doubts
    exist regarding the use of the tax losses carried forward to offset future
    taxable income. It is at least reasonably possible that the Company's
    estimate of the valuation allowance may change in the near term and result
    in a partial or total reversal of the allowance during 1999.

11. Stockholders' equity

    a)  Common Stock

        The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock,
        $.001 par value ("Common Stock"). As of December 31, 1998, 5,781,309
        shares were issued and outstanding and held by approximately 328
        stockholders of record.

        As of December 31, 1998, there are no outstanding options, warrants or
        other securities, which upon exercise or conversion entitle their holder
        to acquire shares of Common Stock, other than the Unit Warrants, Series
        A and B Preferred Stock and options issued under the Stock Option Plan,
        described below.

        Holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on
        all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders. The approval of
        proposals submitted to stockholders at a meeting other than for the
        election of directors requires the favorable vote of a majority of the
        shares voting, except in the case of certain fundamental matters (such
        as certain amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation, and certain
        mergers and reorganizations), in which case Delaware law and the
        Company's Bylaws require the favorable vote of at least a majority of
        all outstanding shares. Stockholders are entitled to receive such
        dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors
        out of funds legally available therefore, and in the event of
        liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company to share ratably
        in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities. The holders of
        shares of Common Stock have no pre-emptive, conversion, subscription or
        cumulative voting rights.

        During January to March 1997, the Company issued 534,063 shares of
        Common Stock in a private placement offering for total consideration of
        $873,000.

        In February 1997, the Company issued 10,000 shares of Common Stock to a
        Director and a further 20,000 shares to an individual in consideration
        for consulting services rendered on behalf of the Company.

                                      -28-
<PAGE>
 
        In May 1997, the Company issued 50,000 shares of Common Stock to settle
        a liability of $12,500 resulting from consultancy services provided to
        the Company.

        In June 1997, the Company conducted a further private placement of
        204,000 units, each consisting of two shares of Common Stock plus one
        Common Stock warrant, at a price of $5.00 per unit. In February 1998,
        the Company reduced the price per Unit to $4.00 and consequently issued
        an additional 102,000 shares of Common Stock to the Unit purchasers. The
        204,000 warrants provide the holders with the right to acquire 204,000
        shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $3.50 per share up to
        December 31, 2000 (refer below).

        In December 1997, the Company issued 133,333 shares in repayment of a
        bridge loan to stockholders and other related parties amounting to
        $200,000.

        During 1997, the Company issued a further 8,000 shares of its Common
        Stock for various administrative services (see Note 8.c).

        In April 1998, the Company issued 145,161 shares of its common stock in
        conversion of $225,000 of loan principal at a price of $1.55 per share
        (see Note 7).

        Subsequent to December 31, 1998, the Company issued 135,000 shares in
        settlement of half of the amount due to the financial software solution
        provider as reflected in Note 9.c).

    b)  Preferred Stock

        The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
        $.001 par value ("Preferred Stock"). The Company's Board of Directors is
        authorized to issue from time to time, without shareholder
        authorization, in one or more designated series or classes, any or all
        of the authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock with such
        dividend, redemption, conversion and exchange provisions as may be
        provided in the particular series.

        The Board of Directors of the Company designated an initial series of
        Preferred Stock as "Series A Preferred Stock" consisting of 750,000
        authorized shares with a par value of $0.001 and a liquidation
        preference of $3.50. In November 1997 the conversion price of the Series
        A Preferred Stock was reset to $1.75 per share, which allows converting
        one Series A Preferred Stock into two shares of Common Stock. The Series
        A Preferred Stock does not carry dividend rights or any other rights
        senior to the Common Stock and has equal voting rights with the Common
        Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable by the Company, at a
        price equal to the liquidation preference plus any unpaid dividends, at
        the earlier of one year from the date of initial issuance or upon the
        closing of a public offering of the Company's Common Stock where
        immediately following such offering the Common Stock is listed on the
        New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market. No shares of Series
        A Preferred Stock shall be redeemed without the consent of the majority
        of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

        During 1996, the Company issued 283,781 units of its securities
        ("Units"), each Unit consisting of one share of Series A Preferred stock
        and one Common Stock purchase warrant ("Unit Warrant") for a total
        consideration of $875,520, net of $117,713 in issuance costs. In
        connection therewith, the Company also issued 200,000 shares of its
        common stock to related parties as commissions for the issuance of the
        Units. The shares were valued at $.25 a share, the opening trading price
        of the Company's stock in November 1996, resulting in a $50,000
        deduction from the Preferred Stock proceeds.

        As at December 31, 1998, 215,281 shares of Series A Preferred Stock have
        been converted into 430,562 Common Shares, and 68,500 shares of Series A
        Preferred Stock remained outstanding. In March 1999, a further 50,000
        shares of Series A Preferred Stock were converted.

                                      -29-
<PAGE>
 
        In December 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company designated a
        second series of preferred shares as "Series B Preferred Stock"
        consisting of 1,923,716 authorized shares with a par value of $0.001. On
        December 30, 1997, the Company sold 1,923,716 shares of its Series B
        Preferred Stock to three affiliated Alta-Berkeley venture capital funds
        (collectively referred to as "Alta-Berkeley") for $3,000,000 of which
        $1,000,000 was received in December 1997 and $2,000,000 in March 1998.

        Subsequent to December 31, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company
        designated a third series of preferred shares as "Series C Preferred
        Stock" consisting of 3,783,784 authorized shares with a par value of
        $0.001. On January 25, 1999, the Company sold 3,783,784 shares of its
        Series C Preferred Stock to five parties, including Alta-Berkeley, two
        other venture capital funds, a bank and a private investor, for a total
        consideration of $7,000,000.

        Concurrent with the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, the
        Company and Alta-Berkeley entered into an Investors' Rights Agreement,
        which has been amended to include the holders of the Series C Preferred
        Stock. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, the Company increased
        the authorized number of its directors to nine. Holders of the shares of
        both the Series B Preferred Stock as a class, and the Series C Preferred
        Stock as a class, are each entitled to elect two members of the
        Company's Board (four in total). In addition, the Company has granted
        the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred
        Stock (the "Holders") the right of first refusal to purchase a pro rata
        share of any new equity securities which the Company may issue. The
        right of first refusal expires on January 24, 2006. The Investors'
        Rights Agreement also grants the Holders registration rights in certain
        circumstances as well as certain approval and disclosure rights over
        certain management and strategic matters.

        The shares of both the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C
        Preferred Stock have a liquidation preference of the greater of (i)
        $3.50 per share if the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up
        occurs on or before December 31, 2000 and thereafter of $5.20 per share
        and (ii) $1.85 plus a pro-rata share of any excess liquidation proceeds
        accruing to the common shareholders. The shares are all convertible at
        any time into shares of the Company's Common Stock on a one-for-one
        basis, subject to adjustment pursuant to certain anti-dilution rights,
        and have full voting rights.

    c)  Warrant Issues
    
        During 1996, the Company issued 283,781 units ("Units") of its
        securities, each Unit consisting of one Series A Preferred Share and one
        Common Stock purchase warrant ("Unit Warrant").

        During 1997, the Company issued a further 204,000 units ("Units") of its
        securities, each Unit consisting of two Common Shares and one Unit
        Warrant.

        Each Unit Warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share of Common
        Stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share until December 31, 2000,
        at which time the unexercised Unit Warrants shall expire by their own
        terms. The Unit Warrants are subject to anti-dilution provisions.

    d)  Stock Option Plan

        During 1997, the Company adopted a Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). As at
        December 31, 1998 a total of 750,000 common shares may be issued under
        the Plan and have been reserved by the Directors for that purpose.
        Pursuant to the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock an additional
        400,000 shares were reserved for the Plan. The Board of Directors
        determines the terms and exercise prices of all options to be granted.

        Officers and directors of the Company, as well as consultants,
        independent contractors or other service providers are eligible for
        "Non-qualified Options". Only employees of the Company or its
        subsidiaries (including officers and directors) are eligible to receive
        grants of "Incentive Stock 

                                      -30-
<PAGE>
 
        Options". No option may be granted under the Plan after March 19, 2008,
        but options granted before that date may be exercisable after that date.
        Options granted under the Plan are subject to a minimum vesting period
        of one year.

        share had compensation cost on all options granted been determined

        In March 1998, the strike price applicable to all of the options
        existing at that time was reset to $2.00. Since the revised fair value
        of the options based on the reset strike price was lower than the amount
        originally recorded as compensation cost, no adjustment was made as a
        result of the reset.

12. Retirement plans

    All of the Company's Swiss-based employees, including its executive
    officers, are required to participate in the pension or retirement plans
    required by law in Switzerland, which are similar to defined contribution
    plans.

    The Assurance Vieillesse et Survivants ("AVS") is a state-administered plan,
    under which the Company and the employee each contribute an amount of 5.05%
    of salary to the AVS fund. The Prevoyance Professionnelle plan ("LPP") is
    administered by an independent insurance company whereby amounts of between
    5% and 15% of each employee's compensation are contributed to the LPP fund.
    The Company and employees each contribute 50% of this cost. In addition to
    the legally required plans, the Company undertakes supplemental LPP programs
    for its management.

    The Company has no pension or retirement liability other than its obligation
    to make employer and employee contributions to the AVS and LPP funds.
    Amounts charged to income in respect of the AVS and LPP plans (including
    supplemental programs) for executive officers and other employees was
    approximately $176,561 and $59,586 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and
    1997 respectively.

    The Company does not maintain any plans for other post-employment or post-
    retirement employee benefits.

13. Subsequent events

    Subsequent to December 31, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company
    designated a third series of preferred shares as "Series C Preferred Stock"
    and on January 25, 1999, the Company sold 3,783,784 shares of its Series C
