Item 1. Change in Control of Registrant A.Yankee Companies On or about September 15, 1998, International Telemedia Associates, Inc., a Georgia corporation ("ITA") with which the Registrant engaged in business through RCP Communications, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary ("RCP"), defaulted in its obligation to pay RCP approximately $1,800,000 for services rendered to third parties, payment for which was collected by ITA. Thereafter, RCP and two other corporations, Psychic Discovery Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation and BLJ Communications, Inc., a Florida corporation, all creditors of ITA filed a petition seeking ITA's involuntary bankruptcy. As a result of such default, all of the Registrant's operations were materially affected in a very negative fashion and it is likely that some or all of the Registrant's current business operations will have to be restructured, divested or terminated. Realizing that the Registrant would have to drastically revise its operations, the Registrant began negotiations with the Yankee Companies, Inc., a Florida corporation ("Yankees"), for assistance in developing and implementing new strategic plans. Negotiations with Yankees culminated in a consulting agreement (the "Consulting Agreement"), a copy of which is filed as an exhibit hereto. The Consulting Agreement permits Yankees to acquire 51% of the Registrant's common stock at a cost of $40,000, but required Yankees to recruit additional directors and to assist the Registrant to develop and implement a new strategic plan, assist the Registrant to negotiate with its creditors and assist the Registrant to prepare and file required reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Registrant's independent ability to do so having been affected by its current lack of required funds). To date, Yankees has exercised its options as to 2,000,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock. In conjunction with its obligations to the Registrant, Yankees recommended that three new directors be elected (see biographies below) and recruited a new general counsel and secretary, all of which were elected by the Registrant's existing directors to the positions described below. B.Biographies of New Directors and Officers G. Richard Chamberlin, General Counsel G. Richard Chamberlin, age 52, has been elected as the Registrant's general counsel. From 1973 to 1974 he served as Trust Officer with Central Bank & Trust Company, Jonesboro, Georgia.

Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets The Registrant has retained the Yankee Companies to assist it in developing and implementing a new strategic plan. The Yankee Companies has suggested that the Registrant's activities be divided into three different areas. First, that the current operations be segregated in a new subsidiary group, to be presided over by the Registrant's current president. Second, that the Registrant's management and new directors provide consulting services to third parties that desire to attain public trading status by assisting them in preparation of Forms 10 and 10-SB in exchange for securities to be distributed directly by the client issuer to the Registrant's stockholders. Third, that the Registrant acquire operating companies that could benefit from the Registrant's public trading status and from the experience of the Registrant's directors. In addition, Yankees has recommended that the Registrant divest itself of its currently operating subsidiaries in order to obtain required working and development capital and to assure that their current liabilities do not impact its future prospects. In the event that appropriate sales cannot be arranged, Yankees has recommended that the operating subsidiaries be spun out to the Registrant's current stockholders as independent public companies. The Registrant's Board of Directors is considering Yankee's recommendations. As a result of the default described in Item 1, the Registrant has discontinued all of its business operations, other that those of its subsidiary, Tech-Tel Communications, Inc. Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant On January 21, 1999, Ernst & Young LLP resigned as independent auditors for the Registrant. The report of Ernst & Young LLP on the Registrant's financial statements as of September 30, 1997 and for period from June 1, 1997 (date of inception) to September 30, 1997 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In connection with the audit of the Registrant's financial statements as of September 30, 1997 and for the period from June 1, 1997 (date of inception) to September 30, 1997, and in the subsequent period, there were no disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP in any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure , or auditing scope or procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst & Young LLP, would have caused Ernst & Young LLP to make reference to the matter in their report, the Registrant has requested Ernst & Young LLP to furnish it a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of that letter will be filed as an exhibit to Form 8-Ka. The Registrant has selected the firm of Weinberg & Company, P.A., Certified Public Accountants, of Boca Raton, Florida to replace Ernst & Young LLP. 4

Item 5.Other Events Business Matters On or about September 15, 1998, International Telemedia Associates, Inc., a Georgia corporation ("ITA") with which the Registrant engaged in business through RCP Communications, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary ("RCP"), defaulted in its obligation to pay RCP approximately $1,800,000 for services rendered to third parties, payment for which was collected by ITA. Thereafter, RCP and two other corporations, Psychic Discovery Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation and BLJ Communications, Inc., a Florida corporation, all creditors of ITA, filed a petition seeking ITA's involuntary bankruptcy. As a result of such default, all of the Registrant's operations were materially affected in a very negative fashion and it is likely that some or all of the Registrant's current business operations will have to be restructured, divested or terminated. In addition, the resulting shortfall in revenue has caused the Registrant to delay payments on its own obligations, reduce personnel and operations. As a consequence of its lack of operating revenue, the Registrant was unable to pay the expenses associated with preparation of its annual audit on a timely basis and consequently, failed to file its annual report on SEC Form 10-KSB on a timely basis. The Registrant's management, together with its newly elected directors and its strategic planning consultant, the Yankee Companies, Inc., are taking steps to retain less costly auditors in order to promptly file the delayed report on SEC Form 10-KSB, as well as to streamline the Registrant's operations and seek new business opportunities. As a result of the default described in Item 1, the Registrant has discontinued all of its business operations, other that those of its subsidiary, Tech-Tel Communications, Inc., and as to those, the Registrant is negotiating to dispose of a controlling interest therein in consideration for being released from all liabilities associated therewith. Litigation The Registrant recently retained Mark C. Perry, Esquire, of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, as litigation counsel. The following information is provided based on Mr. Perry's preliminary observations: Current Litigation In Madhu Sethi v. Colmena Corporation, Techtel Communications, Inc. and T2U Co., Broward County Circuit Court, Case No: 98-21089 (Brescher), Madhu Sethi, (hereinafter referred to as Madhu), sued the Registrant upon an alleged breach of an employment agreement dated February 18, 1998, seeking $24,068.69 for past wages together with future wages and attorney's fees. The Registrant has various documents which indicate Madhu may have violated his employment agreement by utilizing the corporate American Express card to travel to India for personal reasons and further may have violated the non-competition provisions of the agreement. The Registrant may also have causes of action against Madhu for fraud with regard to sale of Business Technology Systems, Inc (hereinafter referred to as BTS) to the Registrant and with regard to funding received by BTS from Deutsche Financial Services Corporation (DFS). The Registrant's new management has recently contacted Mr. Madhu and it appears possible that these mutual claims may be resolved. Deutsche Financial Services Corporation v. Business Technology Systems, Inc., Richard C. Peplin, Jr., and Colmena Corporation, American Arbitration Association, No. 531490021598 (Columbus, Ohio). This arbitration case is scheduled for mediation on February 17, 1999 in Columbus, Ohio. A position statement is due on February 7, 1999. There is a request for a $1,000.00 deposit for the mediator, Samuel H. Porter, to be made on or before February l, 1999. A request for continuance of this mediation has been made to the American Arbitration Association. The Registrant's President is of the opinion that there may be various defenses to this action. Madhu sold the assets of BTS to a company created by the Registrant and which was to change the name of BTS to Sethi Holding Company thereby allowing the newly formed entity controlled by the Registrant to utilize the name BTS. At this time, it is unclear as to whether or not this was accomplished. The Registrant's president believes that Sethi, subsequent to the closing, may have continued to utilize the name BTS for funding from DFS as well as collateral certificates sent to DFS originated from Sethi utilizing BTS. The Registrant's newly appointed litigation counsel is evaluating the proceeding and will make recommendations to the Board in the near future. 5

Potential Regulatory Actions: In the matter of RCP Communications, Inc. (Attorney General, State of Kansas, Consumer Protection Division) a Subpoena Duces Tecum pursuant to K.S.A. 50-631 was issued and responded to by RCP. No formal complaint has been filed. In the matter of Louisiana Public Service Commission v. RCP Communications, Inc., Enterprise Group, Inc., T2U Communications, and Richard C. Peplin. No formal complaint has been filed, however, the parties have been requested to appear, at an unspecified date, before the Louisiana Public Service Commission by notice dated January 7, 1999. On December 9 th and 10, 1998, the president and regulatory affairs manager of T2U Co. (formerly RCP Communications, Inc. and sometimes doing business as RCP Enterprise Group, Inc.), a wholly owned Delaware subsidiary of the Registrants whose sales operations have been discontinued, were asked to testify in a confidential, non-public hearing before staff of the Federal Trade Commission "to determine whether various entities may be engaging or have engaged in unfair or deceptive action, acts or practices in or affecting commerce in violation of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, 15 U.S.C., Section 45, or the Commission's [FTC] Trade Regulation Rule pursuant to the Telephone Disclosure and Dispute Resolution Act of 1992, 16 CFR part 308." In addition, in response to a Federal Trade Commission Civil Investigative Demand, T2U Co. has produced a substantial number of documents. Should the Federal Trade Commission institute proceedings against the subject subsidiary, allegations could include, among other things, that it engaged in deceptive and/or unfair acts or practices in violation of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, 15 U.S.C. 45, by selling prepaid telephone calling cards via direct mail and billing customers through local exchange telephone companies under circumstances whereby many consumers have complained that they never purchased such cards or authorized the charges to their accounts. As monetary relief for any such violations, the Federal Trade Commission could seek consumer redress and disgorgement to the United States Treasury of up to the full amount of money consumers have paid in connection with the prepaid calling card program of T2U Co. (formerly RCP Communications Inc. and sometimes doing busines as RCP Enterprises Group, Inc.),which management estimates to be in excess of$7,275,000 Moreover, the staff of the Federal Trade Commission has, pursuant to a Civil Investigative Demand, subpoenaed a significant number of people, including some not affiliated with T2U, requiring the production of documents and /or testimony. While the investigation has been in progress for a significant period of time and the staff of the Federal Trade Commission has indicated that it will probably recommend proceedings, the Registrant is not in a position to determine whether the FTC will institute proceedings, the defendants to be named in any such proceedings should they be instituted, the scope of any such proceedings should they be instituted, the likelihood of any adverse decision should proceedings be instituted, or the extent of any penalties should they be sought in any proceeding. Registrant's management does not believe that either it or its subsidiary violated any of the foregoing provisions and it would vigorously defend against any action should an action be instituted. In Re: The People v. RCP, Communication. On March 19,1998, The State of Illinois filed a complaint for injunctive and other relief. The Complaint alleges that RCP has engaged in unfair and deceptive acts or practices in the conduct of trade and commerce in violation of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practice Act [815 ILCS 5055/1 et seq. (1996)]. RCP is accused of having "purportedly advertised, solicited, offered for sale, sold, and distributed enhanced services to, among others, residents of Sangamon County, Illinois, and billed or caused Illinois consumers to be billed for such services." A proposed final judgment and consent decree was forwarded to the Registrant but has not been signed. The proposed final consent decree is against RCP Enterprises Group, Inc. d/b/a RCP Communications Group and International Telemedia Associates, Inc. and if agreed upon requires a payment of $100,000.00 to the State as well as restitution to every Illinois consumer who was billed for any of RCP's enhanced services. 6

Litigation by the Registrant In re: International Telemedia Associates, Inc., Debtor Chapter 7, Case No: A98-75533-SWC, Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division Bankruptcy Court. On or about September 15, 1998, International Telemedia Associates, Inc., a Georgia corporation ("ITA") with which the Registrant engaged in business through RCP Communications, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary ("RCP"), defaulted in its obligation to pay RCP approximately $1,800,000 for services rendered to third parties, payment for which was collected by ITA. Thereafter, RCP and two other corporations, Psychic Discovery Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation and BLJ Communications, Inc., a Florida corporation, all creditors of ITA, filed a petition seeking ITA's involuntary bankruptcy. As a result of such default, all of the Registrant's operations were materially affected in a very negative fashion and it is likely that some or all of the Registrant's current business operations will have to be restructured, divested or terminated. Proof of Claim should be filed in this matter. LEC's may seek to recover monies from information providers such as RCP Communications, BW Communications, etc. Potential Litigation by the Registrant Strategica Service Corporation. Based on agreements between the Registrant and Strategica Group, and its affiliates (collectively "Strategica"), Strategica was to arrange funding required by the Registrant and the Registrant was to pay Strategica monthly fees of $5,000.00 per month for a period of 60 months. Subsequently the agreement was modified to require payment for May 1998 of $5,000.00, June 1998 through May 1999 of $5,000.00 per month and June 1999 through April 2003 at $5,000.00 per month with a $100,000.00 due diligence fee to be paid at a rate of $25,000.00 per month commencing on June 1, 1998. It was further agreed on June 9, 1998 at time of execution to transmit to Strategica Services Corporation an additional $40,000.00 within 2 business days. Strategica never arranged for the promised financing and the Registrant has paid some but not all of the fees called for under the agreements. The Registrant may seek to recover all payments made and pursue claims for damages occasioned, in which case it is possible Strategica would sue for the unpaid fees. Purchase and Sale of Stock Agreement between Colmena Corp. and Luis G. Coello. The Registrant paid approximately $300,000 in expenses as an advance to World Long Distance, Inc., Telenet Int'l, Inc., Telecuba and/or Mr. Coello pursuant to the Agreement. The Agreement provided that it be construed pursuant to Florida law and that any controversy would be resolved in arbitration. Further, in the event that the transaction did not close any funds advanced for working capital purposes not to exceed $500,000.00 would be converted into 24 month fully amortized note at 10% interest. The Registrant believes that it has a cause of action to recover the funds advanced. Potential Reorganization In light of the volume of litigation, potential litigation and regulatory action, the Registrant's recently retained strategic consultant which has discussed with members of the Registrant's Board of Directors, management and legal counsel, the possibility of a reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Such a procedure could consolidate all litigation and, through divestiture through spin out or otherwise of subsidiaries with potential regulatory problems (all of which are currently inactive), the Registrant could protect its assets, recover sums owed by third parties and proceed with new business plans. The Registrant's Board of Directors has such course of action under consideration, but currently prefers to work out settlements, if that course is available. 7
