NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF INTERIM PRESENTATION
The accompanying interim period financial statements of Clariti
Telecommunications International, Ltd. ("Clariti" or the "Company") are
unaudited, pursuant to certain rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement
of the results for the periods indicated, which, however, are not necessarily
indicative of results that may be expected for the full year. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the notes thereto included in Clariti's June 30, 2002
Form 10-K and other information included in Clariti's Forms 8-K and amendments
thereto as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
NOTE 2 - DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Clariti Telecommunications International, Ltd. is a non-operating U.S.
parent company with subsidiaries in the U.S. and Italy. In this Form 10-Q, the
terms "Clariti" and "the Company" are used interchangeably in reference to the
parent company and/or any of its subsidiaries. Clariti holds proprietary
technology for digital transmission of data utilizing radio frequencies
transmitted by FM radio stations.
On April 18, 2002, Clariti Telecommunications International, Ltd. filed a
voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District
of Pennsylvania (case no. 02-15817(DWS)). The Company has managed its
properties and operated its business as "debtor-in-possession" under
jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with applicable
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. The Company's Plan of Reorganization has
been approved by the Bankruptcy Court, with an effective date of November 12,
2002.
NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Fiscal Year End
- ---------------
The Company's fiscal year ends on June 30. In these financial statements, the
three-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 are referred to as Fiscal
1Q03 and Fiscal 1Q02, respectively.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
- -----------------------------------------------------
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
all wholly-owned subsidiaries where management control is not deemed to be
temporary. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001
NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Income Taxes
- ------------
There is no income tax expense (benefit) for income (losses) for the three
months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 due to the following:
Current tax expense - availability of net operating loss carryforwards
Current tax benefit - the operating losses cannot be carried back to
earlier years.
Deferred tax benefit - the deferred tax assets were offset by a valuation
allowance required by FASB Statement 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." The valuation
allowance is necessary because, according to
criteria established by FASB Statement 109, it is
more likely than not that the deferred tax asset
will not be realized through future taxable income.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
- -----------------------------------
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and equivalents,
accounts payable, liabilities subject to compromise and post-petition
financing. These balances, as presented in the balance sheet as of September
30, 2002 and June 30, 2002 approximate their fair value because of their short
maturities.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
- ----------------------------------
Net income (loss) per common share is based upon the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. The treasury stock method is used
to calculate dilutive shares. Such method reduces the number of dilutive
shares by the number of shares purchasable from the proceeds of the options and
warrants assumed to be exercised. Basic and diluted weighted average shares
outstanding for Fiscal 1Q03 and Fiscal 1Q02 were the same because the effect of
using the treasury stock method would be antidilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
- --------------------------------
In August 2001, FASB Statement 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" was
issued, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
Statement 142 addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or
with a group of assets should be accounted for upon their acquisition and also
addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for
after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. Also,
for previously recognized non-goodwill intangible assets, the useful lives must
be reassessed with remaining amortization periods adjusted accordingly, and
reflected as a change in accounting principle. The adoption of this standard
in Fiscal 1Q03 did not result in any significant impact on results of
operations or financial position of the Company.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001
NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144,
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("Statement
144"), effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, with early
adoption permitted, and in general are to be applied prospectively. Statement
144 establishes a single accounting model for the impairment or disposal of
long-lived assets, including discontinued operations. Statement 144 superseded
Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," and APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the
Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a
Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and
Transactions." The adoption of this standard in Fiscal 1Q03 did not result in
any significant impact on its financial position or results of operations.
The following recently issued accounting pronouncements are currently not
applicable to the Company.
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141,
"Business Combinations" ("Statement 141"), effective for all business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Statement 141 requires all
business combinations to be accounted for under the purchase method. Statement
141 supersedes APB Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations," and Statement No.
38, "Accounting for Preacquisition Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises."
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 143,
"Accounting for Obligations Associated with the Retirement of Long-Lived
Assets" (Statement 143), effective in fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2002, with early adoption permitted. Statement 143 establishes accounting
standards for the recognition and measurement of an asset retirement obligation
and its associated asset retirement cost. It also provides accounting guidance
for legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived
assets.
In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 145,
"Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 13, and Technical Corrections (Statement 145), effective in fiscal years
beginning after May 15, 2002.

NOTE 4 - MANAGEMENT'S PLANS FOR REORGANIZATION
On April 18, 2002, the Company filed a voluntary petition for reorganization
under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (case no. 02-
15817(DWS)). The Company managed its properties and operated its business as
"debtor-in-possession" under jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in
accordance with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. The Company's
Plan of Reorganization has been approved and an effective date of November 12,
2002 has been issued. The Company plans to continue to develop and utilize its
wireless technology in several communications devices. However, these matters
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.
On June 25, 2002, the Company filed its Chapter 11 Reorganization Plan with the
Bankruptcy Court detailing the plans for settling claims of creditors and
restructuring the interests of its equity holders, which has since been
approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The following is a brief summary of the
Reorganization Plan:
1. The Company owed Priority Unsecured Claims as of the filing date of
approximately $85,000. Included in these claims are four former employees
who are owed wages, which accrued during the statutory priority period.
Each of these four individuals has a priority claim in the amount of $4,650.
Additionally, the Company owed certain federal, state and local taxes, which
totaled just in excess of $67,000. The Reorganization Plan calls for all
Priority Unsecured Claims to be paid at 100 cents on the dollar.
2. The Company owed Secured Creditors as of the filing date approximately
$1,345,000. Specifically, the Company owed $858,000 to Ansteed (its largest
shareholder), $250,000 to Pasubio Spa, an Italian joint venture partner, and
$237,000 to Eizen Fineburg & McCarthy, former corporate counsel. The
Reorganization Plan calls for all three secured creditors to receive a
convertible, non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note for the face
amount owed to them. The principal amount of the note payable to Ansteed
and/or its affiliate will also include any amounts advanced to the Company
during the bankruptcy case and thereafter until December 31, 2002. The notes
payable will mature on December 31, 2005 if not converted earlier. The
notes are convertible at the Company's discretion at the rate of $2.00 per
share (after the planned 100:1 reverse split) for Ansteed, its affiliate and
Pasubio, and at a rate of $10.00 per share (after the planned 100:1 reverse
split) for Eizen Fineburg & McCarthy.
3. The Company owed General Unsecured Creditors approximately $3,782,000 as of
the filing date. An affiliate of Ansteed has agreed to fund the
Reorganization Plan for $300,000 to be used to pay the Administrative costs
totaling approximately $76,000, Priority Unsecured Claims totaling
approximately $85,000 and General Unsecured Claims, in that order. It is
thus estimated that General Unsecured Claims will receive a total of
approximately $139,000. This will result in a gain on discharge of
indebtedness of approximately $3,600,000.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001
NOTE 4 - MANAGEMENT'S PLANS FOR REORGANIZATION (continued)
4. Existing equity holders, including common stock option and warrant holders,
will be subject to a 100:1 reverse split.
The Company's exclusive source of post-petition operating funds have been
advanced by Ansteed and/or its affiliate. The Company reached an agreement
with them to continue to advance funds to permit the business to work further
toward the final development of the ClariCAST(TM) FM wireless technology.
Since the inception of the bankruptcy, Ansteed and/or its affiliate have
advanced $316,000 through October 31, 2002.
The Company believes this Reorganization Plan provides the most reasonable and
realistic approach to satisfaction of the allowed claims in the most efficient
manner. The Reorganization Plan provides for the repayment of the outstanding
Administrative costs and Priority Unsecured Claims in cash upon the
Reorganization Plan effective date and further provides for a small cash
payment to unsecured creditors.
The Company has chosen to focus its future efforts on development and
commercialization of its patented ClariCAST(TM) FM wireless technology.
Because the Company's technology is still under development, the Company
expects no revenues or operating cash flows in the near term. Future cash
expenditure requirements have been significantly reduced through major
reductions in corporate overhead expenses.
The Company is actively pursuing opportunities to secure additional financing
which, if obtained, is expected to be sufficient to develop and market its
wireless technology. There can be no assurances that such funding will be
generated or available, or if available, on terms acceptable to the Company.
Failure to secure additional financing will have a material adverse impact on
the Company.
Clariti Wireless Messaging, Inc. and RadioNet International, Inc., both wholly
owned subsidiaries of Clariti Telecommunications International, Ltd., each
filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy under Chapter 7 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania on October 24, 2001 and May 3, 2002, respectively. Both companies'
operations have ceased. Neither company held significant assets. The
Bankruptcy Court closed the case on Clariti Wireless Messaging, Inc. in Fiscal
2002 and the Company recorded an extraordinary gain on discharge of
indebtedness of approximately $1,568,000. The Bankruptcy Court also closed the
case on RadioNet International, Inc. on July 12, 2002 and the Company recorded
an extraordinary gain on discharge of indebtedness of approximately $340,000 in
Fiscal 1Q03.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating
to the recoverability of recorded asset amounts or the amounts of liabilities
that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern.

NOTE 7 - SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS FROM RELATED PARTY
On May 3, 2001, the Company borrowed $750,000 from Ansteed Investment, Ltd.
("Ansteed"), a greater than 5% shareholder, for a period of 61 days. The note
carries interest at the rate of 10% per annum and is secured by substantially
all of the Company's assets. The amount shown on the Company's consolidated
balance sheet as of September 30, 2002 includes $73,000 of accrued interest.
In connection with this loan, the Company granted to Ansteed warrants to
purchase 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of
$0.95 per share. Such warrants expire on May 3, 2003.
On November 30, 2001, the Company and Ansteed Investment, Ltd. executed a
Forbearance and Amendment Agreement whereby extending the terms of the
repayment of the $750,000 loan amount to March 31, 2002. In addition, the
Forbearance and Amendment Agreement allowed for Ansteed to advance an
additional $20,500 to the Company for legal fees associated with the agreement.
The additional $20,500 also carries interest at the rate of 10% per annum and
was due by March 31, 2002. On March 3, 2002, the Company borrowed an
additional $13,519 from Ansteed Investment, Ltd. for certain expenses, carrying
the same terms as the original note. The Company is in default of this loan.
Ansteed and/or its affiliate have agreed to fund the Company's working capital
requirements through Chapter 11 and until December 31, 2002. The amount funded
as of October 31, 2002 was $316,000. Some of this funding is expected to be
included in the convertible, non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note(s)
to be issued to Ansteed and/or its affiliate pursuant to the Reorganization
Plan.
NOTE 8 - CONVERTIBLE SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
On June 28, 2001, the Company borrowed $62,500 from a third party. The
unsecured note was due on November 1, 2001 and carries interest at the rate of
8% per annum. The note is convertible into shares of the Company's common stock
at the option of the lender at a conversion price of $0.075 per share. The
amount shown on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of September 30,
2002 includes $6,000 of accrued interest. In connection with this loan, the
Company granted to the third party warrants to purchase a total of 125,000
shares of the Company's common stock, 62,500 of which are exercisable at $0.25
per share and 62,500 of which are exercisable at $0.50 per share. These
warrants expired on June 28, 2002. The Company was unable to repay the loan by
the November 1, 2001 due date, and is therefore in default of the loan
agreement.
On July 2, 2001, the Company entered into a Funding Agreement with a third
party pursuant to which Clariti borrowed $250,000 (the "Outstanding Balance").
The Outstanding Balance is secured by a second position security interest in
substantially the same assets as those securing the $750,000 loan from Ansteed
(see Note 7). No interest is due on the Outstanding Balance. The Outstanding
Balance was to be repaid on or before July 2, 2002. Therefore the Company is
in default of the funding agreement. The third party may convert the

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
France Telecom SA ("France Telecom") initiated a complaint against the Company
on May 12, 2000 before the Tribunal de Commerce de Paris (Paris Commercial
Court) in Paris, France. France Telecom's claim relates to a debt it claims it
is owed by GlobalFirst Communications SA, a former French subsidiary of the
Company, for long-distance telephone services. France Telecom sought payment
from Clariti of 20,000,000 French Francs (approximately $2,700,000). France
Telecom further claimed unspecified damages corresponding to the loss of
revenue resulting from the ceasing of commercial relations with GlobalFirst
Communications SA. The Company vigorously defended the claims asserted by
France Telecom. Clariti believed that it did not verbally or in writing make a
promise to pay any obligations of GlobalFirst Communications SA, and that it
caused no damages to France Telecom because commercial relations with
GlobalFirst Communications SA had ceased before Clariti held any negotiations
with France Telecom. On April 10, 2002, The Tribunal de Commerce de Paris
issued a decision in favor of the Company, denying France Telecom any damages.
On or about September 28, 2000, Michael P. McAndrews filed a Demand for
Arbitration with the American Arbitration Association against the Company and
Clariti Wireless concerning obligations arising under Mr. McAndrews' Employment
Agreement. Mr. McAndrews has alleged that the Company had guaranteed and
assumed the obligation due Mr. McAndrews pursuant to an Assignment and Guaranty
Agreement. Mr. McAndrews claimed that as a result of a material change in his
duties, he resigned from employment for "good reason" (as defined in the
Employment Agreement), therefore entitling him to a severance package in an
amount in excess of $294,000. Additionally, Mr. McAndrews requested reasonable
attorney fees and other costs and fees, together with interest thereon.
Clariti Wireless and the Company disputed Mr. McAndrews' allegations, asserting
that Mr. McAndrews was not entitled to any payments and/or damages under the
Employment Agreement. The Arbitrators held a hearing on June 14 and 15, 2001
regarding the matter. On October 18, 2001, the Arbitrators ruled that the
Company and Clariti Wireless are jointly and severally liable to pay Mr.
McAndrews $290,500 plus reasonable attorney's fees and costs. On December 17,
2001, the Arbitrators awarded Mr. McAndrews $83,219 for attorney's fees and
costs, bringing the total award for Mr. McAndrews to $409,000, including
accrued interest. This amount is included as a general unsecured claim in the
Company's Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.
On June 12, 2001, M&T Bank filed an action against the Company in the Court of
Common Pleas of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. M&T Bank seeks to hold Clariti
responsible under the terms of a guaranty agreement pursuant to which Clariti

allegedly guaranteed certain obligations of its former subsidiary, Clariti
Telecom, Inc. M&T Bank seeks damages in the amount of $368,000.
On October 17, 2001, Nine Penn Center Associates filed a complaint against the
Company in the Court of Common Pleas of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Nine
Penn Center Associates is the landlord and owner of real property known as the
Mellon Bank Center, 1735 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103, a former
address of the Company's headquarters. Nine Penn Center Associates is seeking
damages associated with the remainder of a lease agreement. On April 2, 2002,
the Court entered a judgment by default in favor of Nine Penn Center Associates
in the amount of $1,203,493. This amount has been accrued and recorded in
general and administrative expenses. However, this amount is based on the
acceleration of the lease through 2006 and therefore is being disputed by the
Company through the Bankruptcy Court.
The Company is, from time to time, during the normal course of its business
operations, subject to various other litigation claims and legal disputes. The
Company expects none to have a material adverse impact on its operations;
however, no assurance can be given that an adverse determination of any claim
or dispute would not have an adverse impact on its operations during any given
period.
NOTE 10 - COMMON STOCK
During Fiscal 1Q03 certain employees exercised 53,333 shares of its common
stock at an exercise price of $.001 per share. The amount has been recorded as
Common Stock and Additional Paid in Capital.
NOTE 11 - STOCK OPTIONS
There were no new stock options issued during Fiscal 1Q03.
NOTE 12 - WARRANTS
From time to time, the Company may issue warrants to purchase its common stock
to parties other than employees and directors. Warrants may be issued as a
unit with shares of common stock, in connection with borrowings, as an
incentive to help the Company achieve its goals, or in consideration for cash
or services rendered to the Company, or a combination of the above. Cost
associated with warrants issued to other than employees is valued based on the
fair value of the warrants as estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the
following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 80%, and a
risk-free interest rate of 5.0%.

General Operations
- ------------------
The current focus of our business is the development and commercialization
of ClariCAST(TM), our proprietary wireless technology that will support data
and information services to a high-speed digital wireless device.
Recent Events
- -------------
On April 18, 2002, Clariti Telecommunications International, Ltd. filed a
voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District
of Pennsylvania (case no. 02-15817(DWS)). At that time the Company reported
tangible assets with a book value of approximately $700,000 and liabilities of
approximately $5,212,000. The Company continued to manage its properties and
operate the business as "debtor-in-possession" under jurisdiction of the
Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy
Code. On October 15, 2002, the Company's Plan of Reorganization was approved
by the Bankruptcy Court with an effective date of November 12, 2002.
The Company's approved Reorganization Plan with the Bankruptcy Court details
the plans for settling claims of creditors and restructuring the interests of
its equity holders. Following is a brief summary of the Reorganization Plan:
1. The Company owed Priority Unsecured Claims as of the filing date of
approximately $85,000. Included in these claims are four former employees
who are owed wages, which accrued during the statutory priority period.
Each of these four individuals has a priority claim in the amount of $4,650.
Additionally, the Company owed certain federal, state and local taxes, which
totaled just in excess of $67,000. The Reorganization Plan calls for all
Priority Unsecured Claims to be paid at 100 cents on the dollar.
2. The Company owed Secured Creditors as of the filing date approximately
$1,345,000. Specifically, the Company owed $858,000 to Ansteed (its largest
shareholder), $250,000 to Pasubio Spa, an Italian joint venture partner, and
$237,000 to Eizen Fineburg & McCarthy, former corporate counsel. The
Reorganization Plan calls for all three secured creditors to receive a
convertible, non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note for the face
amount owed to them. The principal amount of the note payable to Ansteed
and/or its affiliate could also include any amounts advanced to the Company
during the bankruptcy case and thereafter until December 31, 2002. The notes
payable will mature on December 31, 2005 if not converted earlier. The
notes are convertible at the Company's discretion at the rate of $2.00 per
share (after the planned 100:1 reverse split) for Ansteed, its affiliate and
Pasubio, and at a rate of $10.00 per share (after the planned 100:1 reverse
split) for Eizen Fineburg & McCarthy.
3. The Company owed General Unsecured Creditors approximately $3,782,000 as of
the filing date. An affiliate of Ansteed has agreed to fund the
Reorganization Plan for $300,000 to be used to pay the Administrative costs
totaling approximately $76,000, Priority Unsecured Claims totaling
approximately $85,000 and General Unsecured Claims, in that order. It is
thus estimated that General Unsecured Claims will receive a total of
approximately $139,000. This will result in a gain on discharge of
indebtedness of approximately $3,600,000.
4. Existing equity holders, including common stock option and warrant holders,
will be subject to a 100:1 reverse split.
19
The Company's exclusive source of post-petition operating funds have been
advanced by Ansteed and/or its affiliate. The Company reached an agreement
with them to continue to advance funds to permit the business to work further
toward the final development of the ClariCAST(TM) technology. Since the
inception of the bankruptcy, Ansteed and/or its affiliate have advanced
$316,000 through October 31, 2002.
The Company believes this Reorganization Plan provides the most reasonable and
realistic approach to satisfaction of the allowed claims in the most efficient
manner. The Reorganization Plan provides for the repayment of the outstanding
Administrative costs and Priority Unsecured Claims in cash upon the
Reorganization Plan effective date and further provides for a small cash
payment to unsecured creditors.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 ("Fiscal 1Q03")
vs. Three Months Ended September 30, 2001 ("Fiscal 1Q02")
- --------------------------------------------------------
For Fiscal 1Q03, the Company incurred net income of $168,000, or $0.00 per
share, on no revenue as compared to a net loss of $2,838,000, or $0.08 per
share, on no revenue in Fiscal 1Q02. Excluding extraordinary gain on discharge
of indebtedness, the Company incurred a net loss of $172,000, or $0.01 per
share, on no revenue as compared to a net loss of $2,838,000, or $0.08 per
share, on no revenue in Fiscal 1Q02.
For Fiscal 1Q03, net loss from continuing operations was $172,000 as compared
to $2,738,000 in Fiscal 1Q02. The $2,566,000 reduction in loss from continuing
operations was primarily due to the elimination of the expenses associated with
subsidiaries that ceased operations during Fiscal 1Q02. In addition, the
Company operated with limited expenses in Fiscal 1Q03 due the Chapter 11
proceeding mentioned above.
General and administrative expenses decreased $2,177,000, from $2,283,000 to
$106,000 in Fiscal 1Q03. Fiscal 1Q02 amounts include accruals of $1,256,000
for certain leases in default and legal proceedings. Once again, the severe
cash shortage forced the Company to significantly reduce its costs.
During the period from December 1998 to May 2001, the Company was also a
significant provider of wire-line telecommunication services through its
interest in several businesses with operations in the United States, United
Kingdom, Europe and Australia. During the year ended June 30, 2001, the
Company divested these business operations, which formed its former business
segment, Telephony/Internet Services. During Fiscal 1Q02 the Company recognized
an additional $100,000 loss on the disposal of one of those businesses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
At September 30, 2002, the Company had a working capital deficit of $5,478,000
(including a cash balance of $1,000) as compared to a working capital deficit
of $5,711,000 (including a cash balance of $5,000) at June 30, 2002. The
working capital increase of $233,000 is primarily due to a $340,000 decrease in
liabilities subject to compromise offset by an increase in post-petition
financing of $87,000 in Fiscal 1Q03. The decrease in liabilities subject to
compromise is due to the extraordinary gain on discharge of indebtedness of
$340,000 associated with the closing of the Chapter 7 proceedings for RadioNet
International.
20
The Company has operated as debtor-in-possession under jurisdiction of the
Bankruptcy Court. The Reorganization Plan submitted to the Bankruptcy Court
has been approved and the Company expects that all of its unsecured liabilities
are going to be extinguished as it emerges from Chapter 11 proceedings.
Ansteed and/or its affiliate have agreed to fund the Company's working capital
requirements through Chapter 11 and until December 31, 2002. Such working
capital requirements are forecasted to be approximately $50,000 per month,
principally to cover the compensation and related costs of its two engineering
employees as well as limited general and administrative expenses. This funding
is expected to be included in the convertible, non-interest bearing, unsecured
promissory note(s) to be issued to Ansteed and/or its affiliate pursuant to the
Reorganization Plan. The Company has chosen to focus its future efforts on
development and commercialization of its ClariCAST(TM) technology. Because the
technology is still under development, the Company expects no revenues or
positive operating cash flow in the near term.
The Company has no firm commitments for funding after December 31, 2002. The
Company has historically relied principally on equity financing to meet its
cash requirements. As the Company emerges from Chapter 11, it expects to find
the process of raising equity capital extremely difficult. These matters raise
substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern. Significant
additional funding will be required beyond Fiscal 2003 to meet expected
negative operating cash flows. There can be no assurances that such funding
will be generated or available, or if available, on terms acceptable to the
Company.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On April 18, 2002, Clariti Telecommunications International, Ltd. filed a
voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District
of Pennsylvania (case number 02-15817(DWS)). The Company managed its
properties and operated as "debtor-in-possession" under the jurisdiction of the
Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code. The Company filed a Plan of Reorganization dated June 25,
2002 and an Amended Disclosure Statement dated August 7, 2002. Clariti's Plan
provided for the optimum payments to creditors within the shortest practical
and realistic period of time giving consideration to the creditors and the
Company's limited resources. On October 15, 2002, the Company's Plan of
Reorganization was approved by the Bankruptcy Court with an effective date of
November 12, 2002.
Clariti negotiated a Funding Agreement with Ansteed Investment, Ltd. (the
Company's primary secured creditor and its largest shareholder) and an
affiliated company, Cash Card Communications, Ltd. ("C4"), pursuant to which
Ansteed and C4 have agreed to provide limited funding to the Company during and
after Chapter 11 proceedings as well as the funding required to execute the
Plan of Reorganization. In consideration, the Company allowed such advances to
become secured claims of Ansteed and C4. Such advances were limited to minimal
expenses necessary to keep the Company operating.
France Telecom SA ("France Telecom") initiated a complaint against the Company
on May 12, 2000 before the Tribunal de Commerce de Paris (Paris Commercial
Court) in Paris, France. France Telecom's claim relates to a debt it claims it
is owed by GlobalFirst Communications SA, a former French subsidiary of the
Company, for long-distance telephone services. France Telecom sought payment
from Clariti of 20,000,000 French Francs (approximately $2,700,000). France
Telecom further claimed unspecified damages corresponding to the loss of
revenue resulting from the ceasing of commercial relations with GlobalFirst
Communications SA. The Company vigorously defended the claims asserted by
France Telecom. Clariti believed that it did not verbally or in writing make a
promise to pay any obligations of GlobalFirst Communications SA, and that it
caused no damages to France Telecom because commercial relations with
GlobalFirst Communications SA had ceased before Clariti held any negotiations
with France Telecom. On April 10, 2002, The Tribunal de Commerce de Paris
issued a decision in favor of the Company, denying France Telecom any damages.
On or about September 28, 2000, Michael P. McAndrews filed a Demand for
Arbitration with the American Arbitration Association against the Company and
Clariti Wireless concerning obligations arising under Mr. McAndrews' Employment
Agreement. Mr. McAndrews has alleged that the Company had guaranteed and
assumed the obligation due Mr. McAndrews pursuant to an Assignment and Guaranty
Agreement. Mr. McAndrews claimed that as a result of a material change in his
duties, he resigned from employment for "good reason" (as defined in the
Employment Agreement), therefore entitling him to a severance package in an
amount in excess of $294,000. Additionally, Mr. McAndrews requested reasonable
attorney fees and other costs and fees, together with interest thereon.
Clariti Wireless and the Company disputed Mr. McAndrews' allegations, asserting
that Mr. McAndrews was not entitled to any payments and/or damages under the
Employment Agreement. The Arbitrators held a hearing on June 14 and 15, 2001
regarding the matter. On October 18, 2001, the Arbitrators ruled that the
22
Company and Clariti Wireless are jointly and severally liable to pay Mr.
McAndrews $290,500 plus reasonable attorney's fees and costs. On December 17,
2001, the Arbitrators awarded Mr. McAndrews $83,219 for attorney's fees and
costs, bringing the total award for Mr. McAndrews to $409,000, including
accrued interest. This amount is included as a general unsecured claim in the
Company's Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.
On June 12, 2001, M&T Bank filed an action against the Company in the Court of
Common Pleas of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. M&T Bank seeks to hold Clariti
responsible under the terms of a guaranty agreement pursuant to which Clariti
allegedly guaranteed certain obligations of its former subsidiary, Clariti
Telecom, Inc. M&T Bank seeks damages in the amount of $368,000
On October 17, 2001, Nine Penn Center Associates filed a complaint against the
Company in the Court of Common Pleas of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Nine
Penn Center Associates is the landlord and owner of real property known as the
Mellon Bank Center, 1735 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103, a former
address of the Company's headquarters. Nine Penn Center Associates is seeking
damages associated with the remainder of a lease agreement. On April 2, 2002,
the Court entered a judgment by default in favor of Nine Penn Center Associates
in the amount of $1,203,493. This amount has been accrued and recorded in
general and administrative expenses. However, this amount is based on the
acceleration of the lease through 2006 and therefore is being disputed by the
Company through the Bankruptcy Court.
The Company is, from time to time, during the normal course of its business
operations, subject to various other litigation claims and legal disputes. The
Company expects none to have a material adverse impact on its operations;
however, no assurance can be given that an adverse determination of any claim
or dispute would not have an adverse impact on its operations during any given
period.
