CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Introduction
EuroTelecom Communications Inc. is pleased to announce the
first results since the Company was admitted to AIM on 5 April
2000. The Company has submitted a revised Form 10-SB (the
registration statement for the Company's stock in the U.S.) in
answer to SEC comments and awaits their full acceptance of the
Company's registration statement which is required prior to
reinstatement of the Company's stock on the U.S. OTC Bulletin
Board (a quoted system operated by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. in the U.S.).
As stated in our AIM prospectus we have successfully delivered
the 'Q.ton Forum' project which is now operating. In addition,
'The Printworks', our Manchester based installation is proceeding
on schedule and the take up of our services is exceeding
expectations.
Development
Our growth is underpinned by the recruitment of key high
quality staff from market leading organisations. We have also
made a number of key strategic acquisitions to support our
core business of Intelligent Buildings and Application Linking
solutions.
Our investment in resource and assets has been accelerated to
ensure we are placed to capture the maximum opportunity from
our current enquiries/order book. The level of these enquires
remains at a high level.
We have focused on developing the infrastructure necessary to
support the success of our approach to strategic alliances
with key partners.
A Projects Group Office has been established in Stratford to
co-ordinate the design, implementation and performance of
major projects. Similarly, a research and development
facility now operates from offices in Stourbridge and provides
a fully operational demonstration facility for our Intelligent
Building services. A new purpose built management control
centre for remote monitoring and crisis response services is
currently being commissioned at our Corporate office in
Manvers, South Yorkshire. EuroTelecom Connect and easy/IP
have now taken joint occupation of premises at Newark,
Nottinghamshire.
Future Outlook
Our facilities management group has secured the contract to
deliver services to Jarvis at the Army Foundation College,
Harrogate and we expect to extend this to embrace the
Communications and Technology for the new college. Alongside
this we have established a joint venture, Defining Moments to
bring further core services to the Education Sector Market.
We are achieving delivery of our projected contracts whilst
controlling accelerated growth necessary to position the
Company to look forward with confidence in 2001 and beyond.
EuroTelecom's key strengths allow us to deliver profitability
to our customers using our technology.
The strategy is now clearly defined and the business is backed
by excellent technical and commercial skills. I have every
confidence that our management team will deliver a marked
improvement in sales and profitability in the current
financial year.

NOTES FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Group turnover arises substantially in the United Kingdom.
Turnover, results and net assets derive from the Group's
ongoing principal activity. The acquisition in the period
ended 30 June 2000 related to the purchase of the assets,
trade and name of Timtec International Limited, the principal
business of which is interior fit out contracting. The total
cost of sales and administrative expenses relating to this
acquisition amounted to #844,661 and #182,014 respectively.
2. Results are consolidated from the date of acquisition of
subsidiary undertakings. In accordance with FRS 10, goodwill
arising on the difference between the fair value of the
consideration paid and the fair value of the identifiable net
assets acquired is capitalised and amortised over 5 years
being the estimated useful economic life.
3. In accordance with FRS 9 investments are stated at cost
less any impairment for permanent diminution in value.
4. The calculation of loss per share is based on the weighted
average number of issued ordinary shares during the period of
19,097,390 (1999: 7,748,059) and the loss after taxation
#3,693,000 (1999: loss #729,000).
No diluted loss per share has been presented in the
current year or preceding period as all the share options
were non-dilutive.
5. During the period the company placed 11.2m shares for
admission to AIM. This is reflected in the increased share
capital during the period.
6. The comparative figures represent results and position for
the period to 30 June 1999. The group changed its year-end
from 31 December to 30 June and as a result the last audit
financial statements are as at 30 June 1999.
7. The results for the period to 30 June 2000 have been
extracted from the unaudited accounts prepared for the Group.
These results have been prepared utilising the accounting
policies adopted by the subsidiary Company EuroTelecom
Corporation Limited for the year ended 30 June 1999. The
results for the period ended 30 June 1999 have been extracted
from the prospectus prepared for the admission of the Group to
AIM and the placing of the 'A' Common stock. EuroTelecom
Corporation Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of EuroTelecom
Communications, Inc, filed consolidated accounts for the
period ended 30 June 1999 which have been delivered to the
Registrar of Companies. The accounts were unqualified and did
not contain a statement under section 237 (2) or 237 (3) of
the Companies Act 1985. However the audit report contained a
paragraph with reference to fundamental uncertainty with
regard to going concern.
