Furthermore, by completing the necessary filings, FDNI will meet another essential objective, which is removing the Company from the "Pink Sheets." Present Position of the Company The Company explained that effective the 5th day of February 2001, FDNI terminated the services of their certifying accounting firm, Lazar, Levine & Felix, LLP LLP - Lower Layer Protocol , of New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of , New York. Thereafter, the Company engaged the services of Mr. Charles Meeks, of Meeks, Dorman & Company, P.A., a local certifying accounting firm, to finish the auditing requirements for 2000 and 2001. Due to the filing for bankruptcy of the Company's two subsidiaries, ClearPoint Communications, Inc., f/k/a FON Fon People of southern Benin and adjacent parts of Togo. They speak a dialect of Gbe, a Kwa language of the Niger-Congo language family. Numbering about 3 million, the Fon are mainly farmers. Digital Network, Inc., and American Tel Enterprises, Inc., management placed the year-end audit temporarily on hold until the subsidiaries were discharged from bankruptcy. The Court ordered the discharge in July of this year. In the past month, the Company has resumed conversations with Mr. Meeks, the certifying accountant, in reference to proceeding with the audit for the year 2000. Management and Mr. Meeks are confident that the audit can be completed in an efficient and timely manner. During the first half of 2001, the Company greatly curtailed operations, again awaiting the results of the bankruptcies. Consequently, revenue production has not been significant enough to afford the completion of the audit and the SEC filings. The Company is presently seeking and reviewing various funding options to bring in the necessary capital for the Company to be current. Future Outlook Although the Company has been in a holding pattern for the past several months, the Board has been diligently investigating potential avenues for the Company's future. The Board has reviewed no less than a dozen merger or acquisition prospects. The review of these possibilities has been based on two factors: first, the benefit to the stockholders, and second, the synergistic fit for the Company. The Board will only consider a proposal that addresses both criteria. Safe Harbor Safe Harbor 1. A legal provision to reduce or eliminate liability as long as good faith is demonstrated. 2.
