PART I

ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

                                    Business

The Auxer Group, Inc. was incorporated in Idaho on June 24, 1920 under the name
"The Auxer Gold Mines, Inc." The Auxer Group's original business was mining.
Auxer's life was changed from a life of 50 years to a term of existence of
perpetuity on August 27, 1960. In 1972 the mining assets were transferred to
Idora Silver Mines, Inc. and Auxer maintained a dormant status for a majority of
the 1970's and 1980's.

Effective May 2, 1994, we began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board under the
symbol AUXI. On April 18,1995, Auxer acquired all of the issued and outstanding
shares of CT Industries, which became our wholly owned subsidiary and issued
4,000,000 shares of our common stock to shareholders of CT Industries. CT's
assets included the distribution rights to an oil treatment formulation, called
Formula 2000. At such time, Auxer moved its offices to Ridgewood, New Jersey.
Auxer continued to develop the engine treatment and test market the product it
acquired from CT Industries through infomercials and by sponsoring regional
races.

In 1996, Auxer established Wayne, New Jersey as its principal place of business
and acquired the issued and outstanding shares of two companies. On February 8,
1996, it acquired Universal Filtration Industries, Inc. a company that
manufactured and delivered products for dry cleaners. Auxer issued 1,500,000 of
its shares of common stock to Universal Filtration shareholders for all the
outstanding shares of Universal Filtration. 500,000 of the 1,500,000 shares were
issued and delivery was contingent upon meeting various performance objectives.
On March 24, 1999, our board of directors approved closing down Universal
Filtrations operating account. Currently, Universal Filtration is dormant with
no operating activity. Universal Filtration is no longer an active subsidiary.
No products are currently being developed or marketed.

On October 25, 1996, Auxer acquired Harvey Westbury Corporation, Inc. a light
manufacturer and wholesaler of aftermarket automotive products. Auxer issued
170,000 shares of its common stock to Harvey Westbury shareholders for all
outstanding shares of Harvey Westbury Corp. Consideration value was based upon
the market value of Auxer's securities at the time of the acquisition.

In August 1997, shareholders of Auxer voted to exchange their shares on a one
for one basis for shares in The Auxer Group, Inc., the new Delaware corporation.
The Auxer Group, was incorporated in the State of Delaware on August 11, 1997
and was authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares at $.001 par value. Of those
shares, 20,000,000 shares were common stock, while the remaining 5,000,000
shares were preferred stock. On September 22, 1997, the Auxer Group filed an
amendment to its articles of incorporation whereby it increased its authorized
shares to 75,000,000. Of those shares, 50,000,000 shares are preferred stock. In
August 1997, Auxer merged into the Auxer Group. Effective on or about August 7,
1997, the Auxer Group began trading on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board under
the symbol AXGI. In June 1998, the Auxer Group divested itself of its software
business for the amount of the investment, $353,000, which was received in the
form of a promissory note. As of September 30, 1999, the Auxer Group determined
the collectability of the promissory note was doubtful and wrote it off.

                                       3
<PAGE>

On March 19, 1999, the Auxer Group amended its articles of incorporation to
increase the number of shares the Auxer Group had authority to issue to
175,000,000 shares. Of such shares, 150,000,000 shares are common stock, while
the remaining 25,000,000 shares are preferred stock.

On April 22, 1999, the Auxer Group purchased automotive parts inventory from
Ernest DeSaye, Jr., employed Mr. DeSaye and placed these assets in Hardyston
Distributors, Inc., one of the Auxer Group's wholly owned subsidiaries.
Hardyston was incorporated in New Jersey on April 22, 1999. The Auxer Group
issued 836,700 shares of its common stock plus $15,000 cash for the purchase of
the automotive parts inventory to Ernest DeSaye, Jr.

Effective September 4, 1999, the Auxer Group began trading on the National
Quotation Service Pink Sheets because it did not comply with the OTC Bulletin
Board Eligibility Rule.

Effective June 6, 2000, Auxer complied with the OTC Bulletin Board Eligibility
Rule and it began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board.

On July 12, 2000 the Auxer Group's board of directors approved the formation of
a telecommunication group for the purpose of acquiring and/or investing in
Telecommunications companies and/or related technology.

In July 2000, the Auxer Group signed two letters of intent. One letter of intent
was with Sponge Technologies to acquire assets of a switch operation. The other
was with Clifton Telecard Alliance, a northeast United States distributor of
prepaid phone cards, to acquire its assets.

In August 2000, shareholders of Auxer voted to amend its articles of
incorporation to increase its authorized number of shares of common stock to
1,000,000,000.

Auxer Telecom Inc. was incorporated on August 7, 2000 in Delaware. The Auxer
Group acquired 2 telecommunications excel switching platforms, which is a series
of equipment that enables companies to track and bill telecommunications
traffic. These assets were placed into Auxer Telecom Inc. on August 24, 2000. At
such time, Auxer Telecom Inc. was one of the Auxer Group's wholly owned
subsidiaries. In August 2000, the Auxer Group added two members to the Auxer
Telecom team: Samir Khalaf and Richard Lydiate. Mr. Khalaf is a special
consultant in telecommunications, financing, acquisitions and international
business. Richard Lydiate was responsible for the transition and overseeing of
the switch operations group in Los Angeles, California. Mr. Lydiate also
assembled a management team with experience in telecommunications sales &
marketing, engineering, switch operations and customer services.

Presently, the Auxer Group is finalizing a settlement with Chasin of Long Beach
(d/b/a Colbie Pacific Capital) whereby the switching platforms and related
equipment will be surrendered to Chasin to satisfy the Auxer Group's obligation
on the switches. The equipment will then be liquidated to pay the outstanding
indebtness of $350,000. The indebtness is presently $478,000 but will be reduced
to $350,000 if the Auxer Group complies with the settlement agreement. Any
deficiency after liquidation will remain an obligation of the Auxer Group.

On September 21, 2000, the Auxer Group purchased the assets of Clifton Telecard
Alliance, Inc., employed Mustafa Qattous and placed these assets in Clifton
Telecard, Inc., one of the Auxer Group's wholly owned subsidiaries. Clifton

                                       4

Telecard, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on August 7, 2000. The Auxer Group
issued 2,000,000 shares of its common stock plus $500,000 in cash and $200,000
in promissory notes to the shareholders of Clifton Telecard Alliance, Inc.

Financial conditions and results of operation for the acquisitions of the
telecommunications excel switching platforms and Clifton Telecard Alliance are
reflected as of the dates disclosed above.

On March 9, 2001 CT Industries, Inc.'s Board of Directors approved the expansion
of its business focus to include telecommunications related business.

On May 16, 2001, The Auxer Group sold 100% of the stock of Clifton Telecard,
Inc.

On March 18, 2002, The Auxer Group dissolved its subsidiary Auxer Telecom, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation.

The following sets forth the valuation of the above-referenced acquisitions

Our auditors have stated in their opinion that there is substantial doubt
regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. We were a development
stage company with limited revenues, a history of significant losses and a
substantial accumulated deficit. Subsequent to December 31, 1997, the Auxer
Group's primary attention turned to routine on-going activities and ceased to be
a development stage company.

Neither the Auxer Group nor any of its subsidiaries has filed any petition for
bankruptcy and is not aware of any actions related to bankruptcy. Furthermore,
there are no known personnel of the Auxer Group who currently have any petitions
filed under the Bankruptcy Act or under any state insolvency laws.

The Auxer Group has formed 2 groups with focuses on telecommunications and
automotive industries.

The Auxer Group is a holding company that has a Telecommunications Group that
consists of one active subsidiary, CT Industries, a wholesale distributor of
prepaid phone cards. The telecommunication group accounted for 65.0% of the
revenue in 2001 and 10.5% of revenue in 2000 on a proforma basis less Clifton
Telecard Alliance.

Additionally, Auxer owns an automotive group with 2 active subsidiaries:
The Harvey Westbury Corporation Inc. and Hardyston Distributors, Inc. Harvey
Westbury assembles and packages automotive accessories under the name, easy
test, sells engine treatment under the name Formula 2000 Ultimate, and sells
waxes and polishes under the name Garry's Royal Satin to the automotive, marine,
and aviation industries. Hardyston Distributors, Inc. is a specialty distributor
of automotive parts and accessories to local mechanics, service stations, and
dealers.

The automotive group accounted for 35.0% of revenue in 2001 and 89.5% of revenue
in 2000 on a proforma basis less Clifton Telecard Alliance.

The Telecommunication Group

Industry Overview

The Auxer Group believes prepaid phone cards have been widely used throughout
Europe and Asia for more than fifteen years. The Auxer Group believes prepaid
phone cards were introduced into the North American marketplace by small long
distance consolidators and resellers, which purchase a high volume of long
distance minutes from major carriers at rates significantly lower than those
that could be obtained by individuals and small businesses and resell those
minutes to their established customer base. The Auxer Group believes prepaid
phone cards were originally introduced to meet very specific telephony
applications, and oriented towards the credit challenged components of the
marketplace. The Auxer Group believes prepaid services have evolved into a
widely accepted solution by both businesses and consumers.

Prepaid phone cards are an alternative to coin-operated calling, collect
calling, operator assisted calls and standard credit calling cards. Unlike
credit calling cards, which provide virtually unlimited credit and impose
surcharges on long distance services, prepaid phone cards are paid for in
advance and provide finite amounts of calling time. Shaped like a credit card,
the prepaid phone card easily fits into a standard wallet. Generally, the front
face denotes the denomination of the card. The back of the cards contains a
scratch-off surface covering the card number and personal identification number
PIN.

Most domestic prepaid cards utilize remote memory technology, which permits
users to place local, long distance and international calls from any touch-tone
phone by dialing a toll- free or local access number to connect to a prepaid
phone card switching platform. After being prompted to enter a PIN, the caller
is advised of the value remaining on the card and is prompted to enter the
telephone number to be called. The call is then routed to its destination. The
per- minute charges for the call are automatically decremented from the prepaid
account corresponding to the PIN as the call progresses. Prepaid phone cards are
distributed through a vast network of retail outlets, including convenience
stores, newsstands, grocery stores and discount stores. While prepaid phone card
products are also sold through vending machines and, more recently, over
Internet websites, the vast majority of phone card sales are still made through
retail outlets.

                                       6
<PAGE>

The retail outlets are serviced by independent distributors, which often
distribute newspapers or other items to the retail outlets. As a wholesale
distributor to these retail outlets, CT Industries which purchases large
quantities of prepaid phone cards from a long distance carrier or reseller, and
sells the cards in smaller quantities, together with cards from other carriers,
to the independent distributor for ultimate distribution to the retail outlet.
The discount from face value at which cards are bought and sold by the
participants in the distribution chain varies depending upon the carrier and the
features of the card, such as local versus toll free dial-up access, or the
rates and geographic regions for which the card can be used. For example, CT
Industries may sell a phone card with a face value ( a value at which the end
user would pruchase at the retail outlet) of $10 to a local distributor at a
discount to the face value such as $7.50. The local distributor would in turn
sell the same card to a retail outlet at a lesser discount to the face value
such as $8.50 which in turn, would sell the card to an end user at face value,
$10.

The Auxer Group believed entering the telecom industry in 2000 would be a good
strategy as management believed the prepaid industry was a market that
represented an opportunity to increase the Auxer Group's revenue. In 2000
management was introduced to opportunities to acquire distribution and
telecommunications equipment.

Review Of Products

The telecom group has one subsidiary selling telecommunication services and
products, CT Industries. Clifton Telecard, which was sold on May 16, 2001
distributed prepaid phone cards.

Prepaid Phone Cards Wholesale Distribution Operation

CT Industries, Inc.'s board of directors expanded its business focus in March
2001 to include telecommunications related business. CT Industries is now a
wholesale distributor of prepaid phone cards. Generally, each type of prepaid
phone card is available in $5, $10 and $20 denominations. With the exception of
the private label phone cards, which CT Industries prints and activates itself,
CT Industries purchases pre-printed, pre-activated phone cards from each of the
applicable telecommunications resellers or carriers and distributes the cards
through its network of independent distributors. CT Industries is in the process
of developing the X-Factor product line, which may contain feature products,
such as The X Cell Phone and the X Calling Card, the later of which is already
being distributed nationally. Additionally, CT Industries is attempting to gain
distribution in all 50 states as soon as possible. As of August 2001, CT
Industries currently had sold to distributors in 19 states. CT Industries is an
independent company unrelated to Clifton Telecard, which was formerly owned by
the Auxer Group and sold on May 16, 2001. The two companies continue to have a
vendor/client relationship. The two companies don't have any agreements
outlining this relationship. CT Industries handles walk-in customers in the West
Paterson, NJ area and will also provide warehouse space to handle inventory.

                                       7

Marketing

CT Industries retail customers can use the prepaid phone cards it distributes
at any touch tone telephone by dialing an access number, followed by a PIN, or
personal identification number, assigned to each card and the telephone number
the customer seeks to reach. The carrier's switch completes the call, and its
debit card platform reduces the outstanding balance of the card during the call.

CT Industries focus has been on distribution in ethnic markets in the U.S. that
generate high levels of international traffic to specific countries. Recent
immigrants and members of ethnic communities are heavy users of international
long distance, given their desire to keep in touch with family members and
friends back home.

CT Industries has independent wholesalers and retailers throughout the New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut area as well as domestically throughout the United
States and is continually seeking to add distributors in other areas.

Source And Supply

CT Industries' arrangements with subcontractors and/or suppliers consists of
both purchase orders for phonecards which is either prepaid or on credit, and
purchasing time used to access network resources which is prepaid. The orders
have no guarantees of supply and are based on demand and availability of
resources and product; therefore, CT Industries may be at risk due to its
inability to obtain products from its suppliers in a timely fashion. The risk is
minimal since these products are easily accessible and several sources exist. CT
Industries purchases these products and/or access time from several suppliers to
include Access International, Qwest Communications, 9278 Communications,
Blackstone Communications, Axiom Communications, IDT Communications, and
Telestar.

Competition

The telecommunications services industry generally, and the prepaid phone card
industry specifically, is intensely competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to
constant technological change. There are several large and numerous small
competitors in the industry, and the Auxer Group's telecom group expects to face
continuing competition based on price and service offerings from existing
competitors and new market entrants. The principal competitive factors in the
market include price, quality of service, geographic presence, customer service,
reliability, network capacity and the availability of enhanced communications
services.

CT Industries' competitors include:

*    Other distributors and switching operations of prepaid products, such as
     Union Telecard Alliance and 9278 Communications;


*    Telecommunications companies that produce their own prepaid products, such
     as IDT Communcations and PT-1 Communications; and

EasyTest Product Line:
The Easy Test product series was founded by Harvey Westbury. The products
consist of 3 types of antifreeze and battery testers, a carbon monoxide tester,
and drain plug series. Additionally, the air conditioning line is trademarked
under Easy Test as well as the Hatchback solar powered rechargeable light and
other accessory products.

Antifreeze & Battery Testers: The Harvey Westbury tester products are
manufactured at the its facilities in Farmingdale, NY. The main products are
anti-freeze and battery testers, which come in three different sizes. The first
type is a five-ball tester that consists of a four-inch glass catheter,
assembled together with a vinyl squeeze bulb and dispensing tail. The working
components in these items are five specific gravity balls that float at
different concentrated levels of the solution being tested. The solution for the
anti- freeze test involves a water to anti-freeze mix, while the battery test
involves a water to acid mix. Once the items are manufactured and assembled,
they are then packaged for retail distribution using Harvey Westbury's in-house
machinery and equipment. The same concept applies to the other two size types,
which are much larger and resemble a French horn and turkey-baster in their
respective shapes. Most items are sold under their registered trademark Easy-
Test7, however, Harvey Westbury Corp. also maintains several private label
contracts within the industry.

Mobile Air Conditioning Accessories: Harvey Westbury markets all of its
air-conditioning accessory items under the brand name Easy-Test. The product
line is mainly comprised of retrofit kits, recharge kits, charging hose,
fittings, manifold gauges, leak detector kits, thermometers, and protective
goggles. Additionally, the accessory items are designed to service all R-12,
also known as CFC-12 or Freon, and R134a, also known as HFC- 134a, automotive
systems.

Crankcase Drain Plug Series - oil drain plugs: Two series of crank case drain
plugs are currently packaged by Harvey Westbury Corp.. The group actively
markets the CDP series which is a strong rubber plug complete with an inserting
tool. The product is marketed to the do it yourself market and the quick oil
change chains. The product is purchased in single or six pack blister pack
options. The second series is a metal screw in product. The product is
self-tapping.

Carbon Monoxide Testers: Harvey Westbury assembles and packages Carbon Monoxide
devices that alert the consumer to the presence of carbon monoxide by changing
color. This small indicator is roughly 2" in diameter and is comprised of a
proprietary blend of chemicals, which react to carbon monoxide. The pill
indicator is affixed to an adhesive backed plastic applicator that allows the
item to be placed almost anywhere. In addition, the pill indicator changes back
to its original color after the carbon monoxide is removed which makes the item
reusable.

                                       17
<PAGE>

Depending on the surrounding climate, these detectors can last up to a full
year. Harvey Westbury offers two types of testers based on their levels of
detection sensitivity. Since carbon monoxide is measured in Part Per Millions,
one tester will react to carbon monoxide dosages of 50ppm and the other will
react at 100ppm.

Fleet Drain Plug Series: The Fleet drain plug series is an imported product. The
product is generally designed for large construction and farm equipment as well
as RVs. The product comes as a kit. The product allows the user to insert a
drain tube by screwing onto a permanent attachment to vehicles.

of America, Inc. United Suppliers of America Inc.'s trademarked product is
Autofrost. Harvey Westbury plans to produce Easy Test Autofrost Air Conditioning

market, sell and package the product. Autofrost plans to supply the alternative
refrigerant.

Sources And Suppliers

The Automotive Group currently has no contracts or arrangements with
subcontractors and/or suppliers. Therefore, the Automotive Group may be at risk
due to its inability to obtain products from its manufacturers in a timely
fashion. The risk is minimal since the raw materials for all of the Company's
current products are easily accessible and several sources exist.

We have a market position of less than 5% for any of our products.

Garry's Royal Satin Product Line for Automotive, Marine & Aviation: The Wax and
Polish market is mainly comprised of waxes, polishes, and Protectants. The care
products industry is comprised of multiple types of products and brand names.
Any area or component of one vehicle has a particular product made to clean
and/or protect it. The products, mechanically, generally come in either aerosol
cans or plastic spray bottles with a typical range to include lubricants,
cleaners, sealants, adhesives, and protectants. In addition to the Automotive
Industry, Harvey Westbury is also involved in the Marine Waxes and Polishes
industry.

The wax market primarily consists of what Harvey Westbury terms Do It Yourselfer
client base. The distribution chain from manufacturer to end-user or consumer
generally follows a traditional route. It's a three level process that starts
with the manufacturer wholesaler who sells to the distributor who, in turn,
sells product to the Jobber, or reseller, and/or retailer. The consumer can then
purchase from the retailer to complete the chain. Major retailers command a
larger influence in the industry by being their own distributors. This push has
started to shift the distribution chain towards a two step process, which
entails the wholesaler selling direct to the retailer. Under this method, the
retailer can now handle more volume than the distributor, in most cases, and is
able to demand lower purchase levels. Electronic Data Inquiry systems are also
becoming more accepted by major retailers. These systems make it easier to order
directly from the manufacturer.

Harvey  Westbury  Corp.  falls  into the first  level of  distribution.  It is a
manufacturer  distributor of Garry's, which is its own line of car care products
to include waxes, pastes, cleaners & Protectants.

There are three primary strategies from which Harvey Westbury intends for this
segment of its business to provide opportunity for growth. The first of which is
better and more appealing packaging. Few product lines offer attractive, screw
top containers. The second is the one- step application process. Finally, sales
support can play a big factor. Market penetration exists for those manufacturers
who supply assistance with sales support. Harvey Westbury has just introduced a
new packaging scheme for its Royal Satin Wax Garry's line which involves a new
twist off plastic container for convenience along with a new color and label
design.

Major Customers

Harvey Westbury sells product to many national and international distributors
and retailers, such as Atlantic Pacific, PEP Boys, Carquest, FJ Distributors,
TRAK Auto, and National Wholesale Distributors. There are no clients of the
Automotive Group that represent 20% or more of the Automotive Group's total
revenues. Management does not believe it is dependent on any one or a few major
clients at this time.

In October 1995, Universal Filtration entered into an agreement with William
Hayday for the purchase of the worldwide non-transferable rights to market the
Fiona Micro Screen Filter and the rights to make any future modification to the
design. The term of the agreement was October 1, 1995 until September 30, 1999.
The agreement has expired.

On May 23, 1996, CT Industries entered into a supply agreement with MotionLube,
licensee of patented technology relating to vehicular and machinery lubricants
covered by Patent No. 5,385,683 whereas MotionLube will manufacture or cause to
be manufactured the product covered above which will be sold under the name
Formula 2000. The term of the agreement was for one year from the date of the
agreement, which will automatically renew annually provided no violations by
either party. The agreement was not renewed after the first year. Subsequently,
the Harvey Westbury created a new formula, specifically Formula 2000 Ultimate,
which Harvey-Westbury markets and sells. Formula 2000 Ultimate is not a
registered trademark. Formula 2000 Ultimate maybe a difficult name to register
as the name itself could be considered generic in nature. Additionally, Formula
2000 Ultimate could be considered similar to Turtle Wax's Formula 2001.
Management does not believe that the similarity could be a problem due to the
fact that Formula 2000 Ultimate is categorized as an engine lubricant product
and Formula 2001 is categorized as a wax and polish product. Should it ever be
determined that Formula 2000 Ultimate does in fact infringe on Turtle Wax's
trademark, Harvey Westbury would be required to sell its product under another
name. Management does not believe that this would impact sales of this product.

Harvey Westbury does not have any contractual agreements or licensing
arrangements with its suppliers for Garry's Royal Satin products. There are no
patents held by third parties or by Harvey Westbury.

Since the sale of Clifton Telecard on May 16, 2001, The Auxer Group no longer
has this obligation.

Auxer Telecom Inc. entered into a month-to-month lease agreement with a
non-affiliated party beginning August 1, 2000 at a monthly rate of $2,500 for
facility space in Los Angeles, California. Such space is approximately 500
square feet. Auxer Telecom also leases office space in Los Angeles, California
on a month-to-month basis at the monthly rate of $7,766.00, which lease was
terminated in June 2001. Such space is approximately 1,800 square feet. On June
6, 2001, Auxer Telecom, Inc. entered into a month to month Service Agreement
with a nonaffiliated party at a monthly rate of $1500.00, which included
sub-leasing space for office purposes. Such space is approximately 500 square
feet. When Auxer Telecom Inc. dissolved on March 18, 2002, the Auxer Group
assumed its responsibilities on such leases.

into by Mr. Ernest DeSaye, Jr. beginning March 1, 1999 and expiring on February
28, 2000, at 22B Lasinski Road, Franklin, NJ. The option to renew for an
additional two years was invoked extending the expiration of the lease to
February 29, 2001. The lease was not renewed.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Certain matters discussed herein (including the documents incorporated herein by
reference) are forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the safe
harbors from liabilities established by the Private Litigation Reform Act of
1995. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified as such
because the context of the statement will include words such as we or Auxer
"believes," "plans," "intends," "anticipates," "expects," or words of similar
import. Similarly, statements that describe our future plans, objectives,
estimates, or goals are also forward-looking statements. Such statements address
future events and conditions concerning capital expenditures, earnings,
litigation, liquidity and capital resources and accounting matters. Actual
results in each case could differ materially from those currently anticipated in
such statements by reason of factors such as future economic conditions,
including changes in customer demands; future legislative, regulatory and
competitive developments in markets in which we operate; and other circumstances
affecting anticipated revenues and costs.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes. In addition to historical information, this
discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks,
uncertainties and assumptions, which could cause actual results to differ
materially from our expectations. Factors that could cause differences include,
but are not limited to, expected market demand for our products, fluctuations in
pricing for products distributed by us and products offered by competitors, as
well as general conditions of the telecommunications marketplace.

We are a holding company that previously formed a telecommunications group and
established two (2) subsidiaries, Clifton Telecard Inc., a wholesale distributor
of prepaid phone cards which was subsequently sold on May 16, 2001, and Auxer
Telecom Inc., which provides telecommunication services from telecommunications
carriers to the telecommunications industry, which was dissolved on March 18,
2002. On March 9, 2001, CT Industries, Inc. changed its business focus to the
telecommunications related business. Additionally, Auxer owns an automotive
group with two active subsidiaries: The Harvey Westbury Corporation Inc. and
Hardyston Distributors, Inc. Harvey Westbury assembles and packages automotive
accessories under the name, Easy Test, sells engine treatment under the name,
Formula 2000 Ultimate and sells waxes and polishes under the name, Garry's Royal
Satin to the automotive, marine, and aviation industries. Hardyston
Distributors, Inc. is a specialty distributor of automotive parts and
accessories to local mechanics, service stations and dealers.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations for the Years December 31, 2000 and 2001.

The financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 have
been prepared on a going concern basis. The issuance of a going concern opinion
by the auditors indicates that the auditors have substantial doubt about the
Auxer Group's ability to continue as a going concern. The Auxer Group incurred
net losses of $11,230,735 for period from April 18, 1995 to December 31, 2001.
These factors indicate that the Auxer Group's continuation, as a going concern
is dependent upon its ability to obtain adequate financing. If the Auxer Group
is unable to obtain adequate financing necessary to support the Auxer Group's
ability to continue its operations, advance its plan of operations, increase its
sales, increase its inventory and working capital, the Auxer Group would be
substantially limited. If the Auxer Group is unable to properly fund its plan of
operations, the Auxer Group's continuation would be jeopardized. Management's
plan to overcome its financial difficulties consists of raising additional
capital and increasing revenues from its subsidiaries. At this point, the Auxer
Group has no definite plans to raise money.

Net Income (Loss)

We had net losses of $3,802,997 or a loss of $0.03 per share in 2001 compared to
losses of $2,795,833 or a loss of $0.03 per share in 2000 representing an
increase in losses of $1,007,164 or $0.03 per share.

The increase in losses was a result of an increase in expenses, related to the
telecommunications operations.

Inventory

We had inventory of $479,928 on December 31, 2001 compared to inventory of
$1,226,807 on December 31, 2000 representing an decrease of $746,879 or 61%.

The decrease in inventory was as a result of decreased automotive inventory.

A substantial part of our growth has been achieved through acquisition within
the telecommunications industry. Given the acquisition and disposition of
Clifton Telecard, the results from operations from period to period are not
necessarily comparable. Clifton Telecard was sold on May 16, 2001.

Our principle source of revenue has been the telecom group's prepaid phone
cards. The telecom group's markets and distributes branded prepaid phone cards
produced by a variety of telecommunications long distance carriers and
resellers, as well as private label proprietary prepaid phone cards produced for
the Auxer Group by various long distance carriers and/or resellers.

Branded cards are purchased by the telecom group at a discount from the face
value of the card, and result to the distributor at a slightly lower discount.
The difference between the two discount rates, typically from 1% to 3%,
represents the grow margin retained by the telecom group. Purchases of branded
cards by the Auxer Group are made on varying terms, from C.O.D. to a net 21
basis, although the majority of the Auxer Group's purchases are made on credit
terms of 10 days or less. Sales by the telecom group of its product are
generally made on a net 30 basis.

Private label cards are generally designed and produced by the Auxer Group,
utilizing card numbers and PINs provided by the telecommunications' carrier or
reseller providing the long distance service for the card. The Auxer Group
incurs the upfront expense of printing the phone cards. However, the Auxer Group
does not pay the long distance carrier until it activates the cards, which
occurs upon the sale by the Auxer Group to the distributor. Accordingly, through
the use of private label cards, the Auxer Group's cost of inventory is
significantly reduced, as purchases are effectively made on an as-needed basis.

We plan to invest in marketing and advertising its products which may increase
sales. We believe increased marketing and advertising can impact our gross
revenues.

                                       31
<PAGE>

We plan to continue to pursue our acquisition strategy over the next twelve
months and believe this may impact our gross revenues and costs.

Throughout the years 2000 and early 2001, The Auxer Group's Executive Vice
President, Ronald Shaver, conducted three interviews on August 7, 2000, October
17, 2000 and March 6, 2001 to answer investor questions. The during an interview
with Investornuts.com, management disclosed that "The Auxer Group's next six
months was dedicated to growing the Telecom Group through acquisition and growth
in sales." Management also disclosed "Auxer is currently in discussions on
several other telecommunications ventures to include projects in the area of
broadband technology and other cutting edge concepts." Management also disclosed
that, "If our two groups continue at the current pace and some of the
discussions the company is currently involved continue to materialize, we
believe this company could achieve revenue levels in excess of $150 Million for
the next year." Management also disclosed, "Auxer is expecting both of its
operating groups to show profits this year." At the time of the interviews The
Auxer Group was considering additional acquisitions, which would have supported
the above referenced revenue level. The acquisition never came to fruition. At
the time of the interview, management believed both of its operating groups
could show profits. These projections were based on management's business plans
and the client bases potential to purchase product from each of the operating
subsidiaries. The actual earnings results for The Auxer Group were losses of
$2.7 Million for the year ended December 31, 2000.

In January 2001 The Auxer Group announced that Auxer Telecom's switch received
holiday traffic of 1.2 Million minutes of telecommunications traffic during the
holiday season. The minutes reported were based on traffic reports generated
from Auxer Telecom's switch software. In March of 2001 CT Industries launched
its X-Factor line of products under the X-Factor trademark and logo. The first
series of products will be a prepaid calling card known as the X- Card.

On March 9, 2001, CT Industries, Inc.'s Board of Directors approved the
expansion of the business focus to include telecommunications related business.
As part of this expansion, CT Industries hired Nadia Mustafa, a former sales
manager of Clifton Telecard Alliance prior to the Auxer Group acquiring the
Clifton Telecard operation. Ms. Mustafa was contracted as Sales Manager for CT
Industries' phone card operations in March 2001 for a two (2) year term. The
terms of her employment are unrelated to Auxer's former subsidiary Clifton
Telecard and she is currently the Sales Manager of CT Industries.

In March 2001 The Auxer Group hired M. Johnson & Associates to provide investor
relations services to The Auxer Group and its subsidiaries. On March 14, 2001,
the Auxer Group added Benjamin Colarossi to the marketing team for the X-Factor.
Mr. Colarossi is a consultant to Auxer and is currently acting in that capacity.

On March 17, 2001, as part of a promotional campaign, the Dick Barbour Racing
Team unveiled the X-Factor logo on the number 15c Porsche at the 12 hours of
Sebring, a premier race of the American La Mans Series.

On March 22, 2001 The Auxer Group announced they achieved record revenues for
the year 2000 of $10.99 Million in sales for the year, compared to $871,000 that
The Auxer Group posted in 1999. The Telecom Group represented $8.5 Million of
those revenues in the fourth quarter of 2000. The Automotive Group represents
the remainder of revenues for the year 2000. Assets under management were $5.4
Million in 2000, compared to $471,000 posted in 1999. Revenues are based on
audited financial statements of The Auxer Group. On March 26, 2001 CT Industries
hosted its grand opening in West Paterson, NJ to assist Clifton Telecard's
growing sales. This new location will allow Clifton Telecard to handle
additional walk-in customers and will also provide additional warehouse space.
On April 16, 2001, management announced that Clifton Telecard's fourth quarter
sales were on a $34 Million annualized pace and that CT Industries' projected a
sales pace equivalent to its sister company, Clifton Telecard, by the third
quarter of 2001. These projections were based on Clifton Telecard's client base
and management's estimate of potential growth. The $34 Million pace was
extrapolated by multiplying Clifton Telecard's fourth quarter 2000 sales of $8.5
Million by four quarters. As of July 2001 CT Industries has distribution in
nineteen states. Its current business plan is to obtain distribution throughout
all 50 states. CT Industries currently has no new distribution agreements in
place.

On March 29, 2001, CT Industries reached an agreement with Universal Services &
Telcom, Inc. to distribute products under the X-Factor product line.

On April 14, 2001, the X-Factor debuted on NBC Sports in two thirty second
commercials, which telecast during the European Le Mans Series from England's
Donington Park circuit. The commercials were advertising the X-Factor Grand Prix
Sonoma, a North American Series race to be held on July 22, 2001.

On May 16, 2001 The Auxer Group sold 100% of the stock of Clifton Telecard, Inc.
to Kattosko Communications in consideration for cash, elimination of debt, and a
note payable totaling $972,350. The method for determining the valuation was
based on CLifton Telecard's actual value of its tangible assets less its
accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. The total valuation of the
transactions was $972,350 which was determined based on the value of the current
bank account, valued at approximately $528,000, forgiveness of inter-company
debts netting at approximately $344,350 and a note payable in the amount of
$100,000. The Auxer Group and Kattosko Communications agreed that the valuation
of Clifton Telecard warranted a preminium or "goodwill" of $100,000 in the form
of a note payable. This was in addition to the value of the bank account of
$528,000 and the forgiveness of inter-company debt of $344,350. The valuation of
the premium or "goodwill" was negotiated based on the fact that CLifton
Telecard's net income from operations for the 1st quarter of 2001 was $1,249
derived from revenues of $7,185,748, or basically break-even. No basis in
valuation was determined for the other intangible assets which consisted
principally of the following trademarks: One Cent, Kamustahan, Humsafar, El Sol
Mexico, Jerusalem Middle East, Que Viva Mexico, African Talk, Para Todos, Brazil
Campeao, Original and African Voice. Since both the Auxer Group and Kattosko
Communications retained the rights to distribute these trademarks, the
trademarks were determined not to have any basis in valuation of the
transaction. In addition to the above consideration, terms and rights to above
trademarks, Kattosko Communications continues to have rights to purchase prepaid
cards from Auxer Telecom and The Auxer Group and its subsidiaries will have
rights to purchase prepaid phone cards from Kattosko Communications. The

                                       33
<PAGE>

negotiations were handled by the officers of The Auxer Group and Kattosko
Communications. In addition, Mustafa Qattous resigned as President of Operations
and terminated his employment contract. Under the terms of this termination, he
retains the initial 1,000,000 shares of common stock received, but forfeits any
remaining options and/or cash compensation outlined in his employment agreement.
The two companies continue to have a vendor/client relationship. The two
companies don't have any agreements outlining this relationship.

Management decided to divest of Clifton Telecard due to its declining
profitability. Additionally, management believed that CT Industries represented
potentially higher profit margins. During the second quarter, management
estimates the sale of Clifton Telecard impacted The Auxer Group's total revenues
were reduced by approximately $5.5 Million. During the third and fourth quarters
of 2001 and third quarter of 2001, management expects the impact of the sale of
Clifton Telecard to be approximately a $5 to 7 Million reduction in revenue per
quarter. Impact estimates are based on estimated quarterly revenues of Clifton
Telecard of approximately $6 Million. Clifton Telecard represented approximately
96 percent or $7 Million of The Auxer Group's revenue base during the first
quarter of 2001. Based on CT Industries client and prospective client list and
by retaining the rights to trademarks serviced by Auxer Telecom under the
agreement for the sale of Clifton Telecard Alliance, management believes that CT
Industries can achieve similar revenues during the fourth quarter of 2001. These
projections are based on CT Industries current and potential client base and its
plans to develop and introduce new products. Clifton Telecard represented
approximately 97 percent or $6.9 Million of Auxer's cost of goods and
approximately 15 percent or $281,000 of Auxer's general and administrative
expenses. Management estimates the impact of the sale of Clifton on the assets
of Auxer to be a reduction of approximately $3,000,000 and on the liabilities of
Auxer to be a reduction of approximately $3,000,000 based on the terms of the
sale agreement and the forgiveness of intercompany debts.

On May 22, 2001 The Auxer Group announced revenues for the first quarter of 2001
of $7.4 Million, compared with revenues of $535,540 for the first quarter 2000.
The increase in revenues was primarily attributed to the prepaid phone card
business of CT Industries, Auxer Telecom and Clifton Telecard. The Auxer Group
also reported losses of $1,957,333 for the first quarter 2001. These losses were
primarily related to new product development, consulting, and one-time financing
related expenses. The revenues reported were based on financial review conducted
by The Auxer Group's auditors.

On June 12, 2001 The Auxer Group announced its decision to reduce overhead by
restructuring several areas of its operation. Since June, The Auxer Group has
reduced its staff in Los Angeles to five personnel and reduced its facility
costs by relocating its staff. Additionally, CT Industries has implemented a
direct sales and marketing approach in an effort to minimize its costs. Also,
the Automotive Group has trimmed its operations and delivery staff in an effort
to cover its overhead.

On December 19, 2001, CT Industries introduced a new line of prepaid calling
cards under the Platinum Series. The company plans to expand this line. To date,
no new products have been disclosed.

On January 3, 2002, The Auxer Group announced restructuring to accommodate
future acquisition opportunities. The restructuring is to take place during the
first quarter. Management has agreed to defer compensation. Mr. Shaver has
resigned his position as Executive Vice President. To date, the restructuring
phase has no further disclosures. This restructuring phase will continue into
the second quarter of 2002.

On July 11, 2002, CT Industries introduced its new website, www.ctiprepaid.com.
This site is an informational site on CT Industries' products. Auxer also plans
to introduce new sites for its investor and distributor companies as well. To
date, no new sites have been introduced.

On March 15, 2002, the Board of Directors approved the dissolution of Auxer
Telecom and consolidation of the telecom assets into CT Industries. Auxer
Telecom was dissolved on March 18, 2002. CT Industries will continue to
distribute prepaid phone cards.

reclassification of $102,000 of stock issued in connection with the acquisition
of assets of Clifton Telecard Alliance. The result of this reclassification
reflects a change in the purchase price of Clifton Telecard to $964,000. At the
time of the 8K/A filing on December 8, 2000 the purchase price was accounted for
based solely on the bill of sale of $862,000.

Our automotive sales of air conditioning products can be effected by the
intensity of the weather during the 2nd and 3rd quarter of the year.

We formed a telecom group consisting of two subsidiaries, Auxer Telecom and
Clifton Telecard, Inc. All of the revenue generated from Auxer Telecom was
related to distribution and sales from Clifton Telecard, Inc. for the period
ending December 31, 2000. The revenue has been accounted as intercompany sales
in the consolidated financial statements.

Our ability to achieve profitability will depend, in part, on our ability to
successfully increase our revenue from our operating groups. We will require
additional funding through external sources to achieve profitability. There is
no assurance that we will be able to successfully raise the additional funding
or increase its revenue in order to achieve profitability.

Section 5 violation

In 1998, 1999, and 2000, The Auxer Group completed a series of Regulation D,
Rule 504 Offerings which might be considered to violate Section 5 of the 1933
Securities Act as well as violate certain state securities laws that would allow
holders of the securities the right to rescind and demand the return of their
purchase price.

Our issuances of common stock pursuant to Regulation D Rule 504 in 1998, 1999
and 2000 might be considered a public offering in violation of the federal
securities laws. These issuances might also have been in violation of certain
state securities laws where holders of these securities might be granted the
right to rescind the sale of shares and demand that we return the purchase price
of the shares.

                                       35

Section 5 of the 1933 Securities Act states that it is unlawful to sell
securities unless a registration statement is effective or an exemption from
registration can be relied upon. In the event that it would be determined that
we were in violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Act regarding our Regulation D
Rule 504 offerings due to the fact that we sold unregistered securities in our
1998, 1999 and 2000 Regulation D, Rule 504 offerings, Section 12(1) of the 1933
Act would apply regarding statute of limitations.

Pursuant to Section 12(1) of the 1933 Act, the statute of  limitations  for this

type of claim is one year after the date of the  alleged  violation.  Thus,  the
limitation  period  began  to run as  soon as the  violation  of  Section  5 has
occurred,  regardless of whether an investor was aware of the violation. In this

case, the Section 5 violation was the sale by us of unregistered securities from

January  1998 to January  2000.  As of December 4,  2001,  if Section 5 of the

Securities Act of 1933 was violated, no claims could be made since these
violations occurred more than one year ago.

The Regulation D, Rule 504 Offerings discussed above may have violated
securities laws of several states in connection with the issuance of our common
stock. Holders of these securities may be able to make a claim to rescind the
sale or issuance of these securities to them and demand a return of the purchase

price paid for these shares. We are not aware of any pending claims of recission
against us. Nevertheless, it is possible that a claim could be made by one or
more of the holders of our securities under state law since the statute of
limitations for violating state securities laws varies from state to state. If a
state court were to hold that we violated state securities laws, we could be
forced to rescind the sales of our securities, requiring significant monetary
payments to the claiming owners equaling approximately $494,000. These claims,
if successful, could significantly exceed our cash reserves and require us to
borrow funds and would materially and negatively affect our results of
operations and financial condition.

Internal and External Sources of Liquidity

Our subsidiary, Harvey Westbury had a credit facility agreement with Merchant
Financial Corporation. The credit facility up to $400,000 against a fixed
percentage of 75% of eligible accounts receivable and up to 40% of the eligible
inventory. The interest rate on the line of credit was calculated at a rate
equal to the prime rate plus 5% per annum above the prime rate of 6.75%
effective June 28, 2001. The credit facility agreement required a commitment fee
of 1% of the maximum credit line on each anniversary date of the signing of the
agreement. The anniversary date is July 11, 2000. On July 11, 2001, the
agreement was terminated. Both parties mutually agreed not to extend the terms
of the credit facility. Merchant Financial Corporation determined the account
did not meet minimum outstanding balances sufficient for justifying
administration costs. On September 26, 2001, the outstanding balance for the
credit facility with Merchant was paid in full. By terminating this credit
facility, Harvey Westbury could be prevented from receiving adequate funding to
properly operate and pay for product on a timely basis.

In January 2001, we refinanced our note payable to shareholders listed in the
Selling Security Holder section in the amount of $551,685 and borrowed an
additional $360,000 as part of an issuance of 8% convertible debentures which
are due on January 16, 2006, totaling $911,685, plus interest. The Debentures
may be converted into our common stock by multiplying the conversion amount that
a Regulation D Investor converts times 65% or the Conversion Factor of the
market price of our common stock. The market price is calculated by averaging
the 3 lowest closing bid prices on our common stock for the 10 trading days
prior to conversion. We executed a Registration Rights Agreement with each
Regulation D Investor. Such agreement requires us to register the maximum number
of shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures. In addition, the
Registration Rights Agreement requires this registration statement to become
effective by May 31, 2001 or the Conversion Factor shall decrease based on the
following: September 29, 2001 or later: 50%

For the year ending December 31, 2001, we paid for operations by raising
$1,313,879 through common stock issuance and debt borrowings after payments to
short term debts.

At December 31, 2001, we had total current assets of approximately $1,386,800.
This included $27,616 in cash, $479,928 of inventory and $166,463 of accounts
receivable. Our cash balances vary significantly from day-to-day due to the
large volume of purchases and sales made by us from the various prepaid phone
cards companies and the numerous distributors to whom we sell cards. Due to the
shorter credit terms made available to us from the telecommunications companies
from whom we buy branded cards, as compared to the credit terms made available
by us to our customers, we, from time-to-time, require infusions of cash in
order to maintain our preferential buying/purchasing terms, which are made by us
from time-to-time to take advantage of favorable pricing opportunities. To date,
we have satisfied such cash requirements by loans and/or private financing to
provide us with liquidity to meet our future needs. There can be no assurance
that we will be able to obtain such financing on commercially reasonable terms,
or otherwise, or that it will be able to otherwise satisfy our short- term cash
flow needs from other sources in the future.

In December 2000, we raised $551,685 in notes payable. The notes were refunded
in January 2001 with short term notes as part of an issuance of 8% convertible
debentures, due on January 16, 2006, totaling $911,685.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Board of Directors
The Auxer Group, Inc.

       We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of The Auxer
Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and the related statements of operations,
changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

       We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

       In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Auxer Group,
Inc. at December 31, 2001 and the results of its' operations and cash flows for
the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

       The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
The Auxer Group, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As more fully described
in Note 2, the Company has incurred operating losses since inception and
requires additional capital to continue operations. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans as to these matters are described in Note 2. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible effects on
recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications
of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of The Auxer Group,
Inc. to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

     The accompanying 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. The Company incurred net losses of
$0,000,000 for the period from April 18, 1995 to December 31, 2001. These
factors indicate that the Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent
upon its ability to obtain adequate financing.

     The Company will require substantial additional funds to finance its
business activities on an ongoing basis and will have a continuing long-term
need to obtain additional financing. The Company's future capital requirements
will depend on numerous factors including, but not limited to, continued
progress developing additional products, improve manufacturing efficiency, build
an inventory to meet fulfillment requirements for the Company's various
automotive products and the completion of planned acquisitions. The Company
plans to engage in such ongoing financing efforts on a continuing basis.

     The consolidated financial statements presented consist of the company and
its wholly owned subsidiaries CT, Universal Filtration, Harvey Westbury,
Hardyston Distributors Inc. and Auxer Telecom, Inc., all of which are under
common control. Material inter-company transactions and balances have been
eliminated in consolidation.

Note 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

     Earnings (Loss) per share

     Basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted effect of all
common shares issued and outstanding, and is calculated by dividing net income
by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings
(loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation plus
the number of common shares that would be issued assuming conversion of all
potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. Dilutive earnings (loss) per
share are not presented since diluted securities have an anti-dilutive effect.

     Receivables

     Allowances against receivables are provided equal to the estimated
collection losses that will be incurred in collection of all receivables and a
reserve for returns and discounts traditionally taken. Estimated allowances are
based on historical collection experience coupled with review of current status
of the existing receivables and amounted to $26,505 at December 31, 2001 and
$65,223 at December 31, 2000, respectively.

     Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated under the
straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of
property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs
are charged to expense as incurred.

Note 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

     Revenue Recognition

     The Company acts as principal in its revenue generating transactions, takes
title to its products, and has risks and rewards of ownership. The Company
recognizes revenues as earned. Amounts billed in advance of the period in which
service is rendered are recorded as a liability under "deferred revenue." The
Company's revenue recognition policy for each product and subsidiary are the
same.

     Research and Development Expenses

     Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred.

     Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that effect 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. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

     In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value
of long lived assets, including associated intangibles, may be impaired, an
evaluation of recoverability is performed by comparing the estimated future
undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset to the assets carrying amount
to determine if a write down to market value or discounted cash flows is
required .

Note 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

     Off Balance Sheet Risk

     The Company purchased prepaid phone cards from various telephone companies
who agree to provide long distance phone service to the cardholder after the
Company activates the phone card when it is sold. In the event the long distance
service provider does not provide the service or goes out of business the
Company would be responsible for refunding the purchase price of the phone card.

     The Company mitigates its risk by dealing with well-capitalized long
distance service providers.

Note 3- ACQUISITIONS

     Acquisition of Telecommunications Switch Operations

     On August 24, 2000 the Company acquired 2 telecommunications excel
switching platforms from Colbie Pacific Capital, an unrelated party, in exchange
for a note payable in the amount of $558,000 (includes imputed interest at 12%
of $48,660). The Company placed these assets into its wholly-owned subsidiary
Auxer Telecom Inc. Operations started in December 2000.

     Acquisition of Wholesale Prepaid Phone Distribution Operation

     On September 22, 2000 the Company acquired the assets of Clifton Telecard
Alliance Inc., (CTA), a New Jersey based telecommunications company for a total
purchase price of $964,000

     The Company paid $500,000 to the shareholders of CTA at closing, issued 3
million shares of common stock valued at $264,000, and issued a note payable to
them for $200,000 due in 2001, as more fully described in Note 5.

     The excess of the amount paid over the fair value of CTA's identifiable net
assets was $846,939, which has been reflected in the balance sheets as goodwill.
The Company expects to benefit from the goodwill acquired in this transaction
over a period of five years, and is amortizing the amount recorded using the
straight-line method over that period.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 31, 2001

Note 6- DEBT (continued)

     Notes payable (continued)

     In January 2001, the Company refinanced its note payable to certain
shareholders in the amount of $551,685 and borrowed an additional $360,000 as
part of an issuance of 8% convertible debentures, due on January 16, 2006,
totaling $911,685. The notes are convertible by the holders into shares of the
Company's common stock at any time at a conversion price per share equal to
sixty-five percent (65%) (the "Discount Multiplier") of the Market Price. The
notes are redeemable at the option of the Company at 130% of the principle
amount plus accrued interest. In December 2001 $18,838 principle amount of
debentures was converted into the Company's common stock.

Note 7- INCOME TAXES

     The Company provides for the tax effects of transactions reported in the
financial statement. The provision, if any, consists of taxes currently due plus
deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of assets and
liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and
liabilities, if any, represent the future tax return consequences of those
differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and
liabilities are recovered or settled. As of December 31, 2000, the Company had
no material current tax liability, deferred tax assets, or liabilities to impact
on the Company's financial position because the deferred tax asset related to
the Company's net operating loss carry forward and was fully offset by a
valuation allowance.

     The Company has net operating loss carry forwards for income tax purposes
of approximately $11,000,000 at December 31, 2001, and $7,600,000 at December
31, 2000, respectively. These carry forward losses are available to offset
future taxable income, if any, and expires starting in the year 2012. The
Company's utilization of this carry forward against future taxable income may
become subject to an annual limitation due to a cumulative change in ownership
of the company of more than 50 percent.

</TABLE>

     The Company recognized no income tax benefit for the loss generated for the
periods through December 31, 2001.

     SFAS No. 109 requires that a valuation allowance be provided if it is more
likely than not that some portion of all of a deferred tax asset will not be
realized. The Company's ability to realize benefit of its deferred tax asset
will depend on the generation of future taxable income. Because the Company has
yet to recognize significant revenue from the sale of its products, the Company
believes that a full valuation allowance should be provided.

Note 8- BUSINESS AND CREDIT CONCENTRATIONS

     The amount reported in the financial statements for cash, trade accounts
receivable and investments approximates fair market value. Because the
difference between cost and the lower of cost or market is immaterial, no
adjustment has been recognized and investments are recorded at cost.

     Financial instruments that potentially subject the company to credit risk
consist principally of trade receivables. Collateral is generally not required.

Note 9- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     Leases

     The Company has entered into lease agreements for office and warehouse
space and equipment that expire at various times through 2005. Rental expense
under the operating leases for 2001 was $133,006. Remaining commitments under
operating leases are as follows:

Stock Issued to Employees). Accordingly, compensation expense is recognized in
the Company's financial statements when the exercise price of the Company's
employee stock options is less than the market price of the Company's common
stock on the date of grant. During 2000, the Company recorded compensation costs
of $20,000 related to the stock option plan.

     The pro forma net income impact under Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 123 (Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation) is not material.

Note 12-    STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     On January 2, 1999, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares and 1,250,000
shares of the Company's preferred stock valued at $0.15 per share to Eugene
Chiaramonte, Jr. and Ronald Shaver respectively as repayment of loans in the
amount of $15,000, reimbursement of expenses of $12,500, and deferred
compensation of $208,500 and $173,750 respectively.

     The Preferred Stock is convertible, at the holder's option, at any time
into shares of the Company's Common Stock at a rate of ten shares of Common
Stock for each share of Preferred Stock.

     The Company has potential liability attributable to common stock rescission
rights as follows:

</TABLE>

Note 13-    RESTATEMENT

     The Company restated its financial statements to disclose potential

change was to reclassify $1,361,625 and $1,238,225 at December 31, 2000 and 1999
respectfully, out of stockholders equity into common stock subject to rescission
on the balance sheet.

Telecard Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary. Accordingly, the operations of the

ITEM 8.   CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON
          ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

On March 19, 2002 we dismissed Kaloseih, Shackil & Meola, CPAs, P.C. as our
principal accountant and engaged Kempisty & Company, Certified Public
Accountants, P.C., as our principal independent accountants to audit our
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001.

The reports of Kaloseih, Shackil & Meola, CPAs, P.C. on our financial statements
for the years ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 did not contain an
adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified
as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

The decision to change accountants was approved by our Board of Directors. Our
Board of Directors determined that our auditing needs could be handled by
Kempisty & Company, Certified Public Accountants, P.C., as efficiently and more
economically compared to the former accounting firm.

During the years ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 and through March
19, 2002, there were no disagreements with Kaloseih, Shackil & Meola, CPAs, P.C.
on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosures or audit scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to
the satisfaction of Kaloseih, Shackil & Meola, CPAs, P.C. would have caused them
to make reference in their reports on the financial statements for such periods.

already granted may extend beyond that date. The number of Shares which may be
issued under the Plan shall not exceed 2,000,000 in the aggregate. To the extent
that any Option granted under the Plan shall expire or terminate unexercised or

All options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and
conditions:

(a)  The exercise price under each option shall be determined by the Board and
     may be more, equal to or less than the then current market price of the
     Shares as the Board may deem to be appropriate;

(b)  Period of an Option shall not exceed five years from the date of grant;

(c)  Each Option shall be made exercisable at such time or times, whether or not
     in installments, as the Board shall prescribe at the time the Option is
     granted and the person electing to exercise an Option shall give written
     notice to the Auxer Group of his/her election and of the number of shares
     he/she has elected to purchase and shall at the time of such exercise
     tender the purchase price of the shares he/she has elected to purchase.

(d)  Upon exercise of any Option granted, payment in full shall be made at the
     time of such exercise for all such shares then being purchased.

(e)  No options may be transferred by the Participant otherwise than by will or
     by the laws of descent and distribution, and during the participant's
     lifetime the Option may be exercised only by the Participant.

(f)  If the Participant is an employee and his/her employment terminates for any
     reason other than his/her death, the Participant may, unless discharged for
     cause, afterwards exercise his/her Option.

(g)  If prior to the expiration date of a participant Option, an Optionee shall
     retire or resign with the Auxer Group's consent, such Option may be
     exercised in the same manner as if the Optionee had continued in the Auxer
     Group's employ.

(h)  If a participant dies at a time when he/she is entitled to exercise an
     Option, then at any time or times within 1 year after his/her death, or
     such further period as the Board may allow, such Option may be exercised,
     as to all for any of the shares which the Participant was entitled to
     purchase prior to his/her death.

     In the event of a stock dividend, stock split or recapitalization or merger
     in which the Auxer Group is the surviving corporation, or other similar
     capital change, the number and kind of shares of stock or securities of the
     Auxer Group to be subject to the Plan and to Options then outstanding or to
     be granted under, the maximum number of Shares or securities which may be
     issued or sold under the Plan, the exercise price and other relevant
     provisions shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board of the Auxer Group,
     the determination of which shall be binding on all persons.

                                       43

The Board may at any time discontinue granting options under the Plan. The Board
of the Auxer Group may at any time amend the Plan or amend any outstanding
option for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of any changes in
applicable laws or regulations or for any other purpose which may at the time be
permitted by law.

Terms of the Regulation D Offering

Each Regulation D Investor received an 8% Convertible Debenture in the principal
amount set forth above. The debentures are all dated January 16, 2001 are for a
term of 5 years and accrue interest at the rate of 8% per annum. At our option,
interest on the Debentures may be payable by conversion into our Common Stock.
Notwithstanding same, we must pay interest in cash prior to this registration
statement becoming effective.

The Debentures may be converted into our common stock by multiplying the
conversion amount that a Regulation D Investor converts times 65% or the
Conversion Factor of the market price of our common stock. The market price is
calculated by averaging the 3 lowest closing bid prices on our common stock for
the 10 trading days prior to conversion. We executed a Registration Rights
Agreement with each Regulation D Investor. Such agreement requires us to
register the maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of the
Debentures. In addition, the Registration Rights Agreement requires this
registration statement to become effective by May 31, 2001 or the Conversion
Factor shall decrease based on the following:

September 29, 2001 or later: 50%

Additional terms of the Regulation D offering are as follows:

o    If a Valuation Event occurs, we are required to notify the Regulation D
     investors within 2 days. The Regulation D investors may convert the
     Debentures based on the current Market price of our common stock on any
     trading day during the valuation period, which is 10 trading days prior to
     conversion. A Valuation Event includes, but is not limited to, such events
     as subdividing or combining our common shares, distribution of our common
     shares, issuance of our common shares or our warrants or options at prices
     lower than our closing bid price on such date.

                                       51

     investor to own 10% or more of our issued and outstanding common stock at
     any time.

o    We have the option to redeem the Debentures at any time prior to conversion
     at a price equal to 130% of the principal amount of any Debenture plus
     accrued interest at the time of conversion.
