DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS CORPORATE HISTORY WorldTeq Group International, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of Nevada on October 13, 1997, and was originally named Halo Holdings of Nevada, Inc. On October 15, 2001, we amended our articles of incorporation to adopt our current name, which we believe more accurately reflects the business in which we are now engaged. From the date of our incorporation in 1997 until early 1999 our company was engaged in skydiving and related business ventures. Between February and April 1999 we sold our skydiving business and acquired three companies which were providers of Internet connectivity and related products and services. Specifically, in February 1999 we acquired Virtual Information Express, Inc. a Maryland corporation, which provided outsourced Internet services such as e-commerce applications and collaborative technologies. In March 1999, we acquired Computer Ease LLC, a Maryland limited liability company which provided Web design and development services to corporate clients and associations. Computer Ease was merged into our subsidiary A1 Internet Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation. In April 1999 we acquired Networld Ohio, Inc., an Ohio corporation, which is an Internet service provider ("ISP") based in Freemont, Ohio. In March 1999 we wound down Virtual Information Express. In November of 2000 we formed WorldTeq Corporation, a Delaware Corporation, to focus on adding Long Distance services to our product line. In May of 2003 Networld Ohio, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of WorldTeq Group International, Inc., was sold to our former president, Bruce Bertman for $1. WorldTeq recorded the sale as a credit to additional paid in capital for the net liabilities totaling approximately $435,000. In September of 2003 WorldTeq added financial services to its product line in the form of Payroll services through its stored-value debit card product, MonEcard. As a result of these transactions, our principal business now is providing Payroll solutions to small to medium sized companies, as well as Long Distance Service and related products and services to both business and residential customers alike. Our principal offices are located at 30 West Gude Drive, Rockville, MD 20850 (telephone # 301-530-2662). OVERVIEW We are a switch-less and facilities-based provider of Internet protocol and traditional fiber-based communications services, including voice and data, along with toll free and related services. We market our services to groups specializing in specific ethnic demographics, residential communities located in major metropolitan areas, associations, network marketing organizations, and multi-level-marketing organizations (MLM's). Our goal is to become a leading provider of payroll services and communication services, including voice, data and Internet services to our targeted markets, comprised of affinity communities. We provide our services through a flexible network of owned, contracted facilities and resale arrangements. We have an extensive network available to us of IP gateways, international gateways, and domestic switches. Through our subsidiary WorldTeq Corporation we provide agents, associations, and businesses with opportunities to generate revenues by supplying those associations, individuals, and businesses with Internet technology and communications solutions and services. Our products and services enable the agents and affinity groups to offer their members, customers and others a variety of revenue producing solutions and services without making large investments in technology, infrastructure or staff. The principal products and services which we offer are: - Long Distance Service - Toll Free Products - Financial Services / Corporate Payroll Solutions - Billing Services - Web site creation and design; and - Web site hosting. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS In February of 2003, the former CEO of the company resigned and was immediately replaced on February 6th by Jeffrey Lieberman, the former Vice President Operations. Additionally, on February 26, 2003 Mr. Lieberman assumed the duties of Chairman of the Board. In May of 2003, the Board of Directors and Management approved the sale of Networld Ohio, Inc. to our former CEO, Bruce Bertman. In September of 2003 the Board of Directors and new Management decided to modify our business plan to better focus on our core competencies, in addition to concentrating on reducing debt, reducing operational overhead, and reducing expenses by outsourcing key components of sales and operations. As part of our modified business plan, in September of 2003, Management pursued making the MonEcard available. The revised plan called for a complete restructuring of the company that included: 1) a change in our staff to increase experience in our industry, 2) accelerated migration of direct customer sales staff to that of contracted agents and direct telemarketing organizations, 3) discontinuation of unprofitable, low-margin business lines, 4) implementation of certain cost reduction procedures such as complete sales automation for its communication products (commenced in the third quarter of 2003), 5) the sale of one of our subsidiaries, NetWorld Ohio, Inc., and 6) launching of our financial services product, MonEcard. 2003 KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS During 2003, WorldTeq has overcome many obstacles. WorldTeq survived during a year where there were changes in leadership and attacks on our customer base, from competitors of our staple long distance business. The company credits the reason for its survival and improved performance on the following accomplishments, which are all centered on four key ideas: Cost Reduction, New Products, Sales Automation, and an Expanded Sales Department. - Signed three new agents for the telecom business - Sold subsidiary of the company without significantly impacting revenues - Reduced long term debt by $600,000 - Reduced annual overhead expenses by $300,000 - Reorganized management to concentrate on efficiencies and sales growth - Launched MonEcard product and signed first contracts - Increased exposure in the financial marketplace - Enhanced end-user website to include digital signatures for online ordering - Launched a new enhanced billing system INDUSTRIES BACKGROUND The last few years have been challenging. Many telecom organizations have been overspending and accruing a significant amount of debt. However, the need for telephony products remains. While there are pricing pressures on the industry as a whole, for those organizations that can properly manage their infrastructure costs, we believe there are profits to be made. WorldTeq has been able to take advantage of its vendor's under-utilization of their capacity, allowing us to buy capacity at a fraction of the cost of creating the capacity as a stand alone provider. By leveraging this overcapacity, combined with a properly structured marketing campaign, we believe profits can be achieved even in a price sensitive market. In addition, by linking other offerings with phone service, WorldTeq aims to create customer retention. In 2003 WorldTeq began offering business customers the MonEcard, its branded, stored value card, to be used to distribute payroll to the business customers' employees. While there are a number of competitors in this industry, most are small and no dominant player has yet emerged. WorldTeq is targeting companies with 50-500 employees. With 12 million small businesses in the U.S. and nearly 1/2 million new businesses each year, this is a growing market segment. While payroll cards have been on the market since 1996, the market penetration is less than 2%. However, we feel that general acceptance of payroll cards has been increasing within the last few months. We speculate the reason for the acceptance recently is the cost savings to employers and the benefits to employees are being better communicated and many companies are starting to use the product. With gift cards, phone cards and retailer electronic cards becoming more commonplace in the last year or two, people are more accepting of the technology. Many companies are evaluating payroll cards as a payroll solution. Celent Communication, a research-marketing firm, which closely follows the industry, expects 2-3 million new payroll cards on the market in the next 12 months with continued acceleration in 2005 and 2006. According to their market research, by the end of 2005, there will be 7 million new payroll cards on the market. This is still a small percentage of the 70 million employed Americans with no direct deposit and the 30-40 million with no bank accounts. OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY Our business strategy is to combine the global scale of tier one providers with the local presence of regional and local resellers of Long Distance and voice services. We provide affordable connectivity on a global scale by contracting with Global Crossing, a leading tier one provider, for access to their fiber network on a wholesale level, with greatly discounted per-minute fees. We enable associations, membership sales organizations and other affinity groups to create revenue and sales programs by offering their members high quality communications products and services without the investment in technology, equipment and personnel that would ordinarily be required. In effect, we enable associations, membership sales organizations and the like to become virtual communications resellers who market under their own name products and services, which they purchase from us. CUSTOMERS We provide long distance and toll free services to both residential and business customers. In 2003 WorldTeq decided to concentrate on business customers as we have found there is a much greater retention rate as opposed to residential clients. In the last 18 months, the Tier one communications providers have been offering residential customers unlimited long distance bundled with the provider's local services. Keeping this in mind, it is our experience that there are fewer major competitors in the B2B marketplace. On December 31, 2003 we had approximately 450 direct business customers, compared to approximately 100 at the end of December 2002. During these same periods we have maintained about the same level of residential customers. We suspect this is due to less customer retention and increased competition from the unlimited plans offered by the Tier One Providers. We have seen the same trend with our wholesale clients as their business customers have increased by almost 200% with only about a 10% increase on residential customers. As for our payroll services, we target our MonEcard sales to small to medium sized businesses, with the number employees being between 50 and 500. Additionally, we have found the most success when speaking to owners of companies in specific industries that have a higher percentage of immigrant workers. Such industries include but are not limited to, construction, landscaping, manufacturing, commercial farming, and trucking. We find that we get greater interest from companies that have a higher immigrant workforce, because it is those employees who find the card more useful as many of these individuals do not have checking accounts. COMPETITION Because there are little barriers of entry, the business of providing Long Distance services and Payroll solutions is a highly competitive one. We believe that competition will intensify in the future, and our ability to successfully compete depends on a number of factors, including the: - Capacity, reliability and security of the Tier One providers with which we interconnect; - Pricing structures of our services; - Expansion of the variety of products and services we offer; - Ability to adapt our products and services to new technological developments and market trends; - Ability to build and maintain a larger, knowledgeable and effective sales force; - Our ability to implement broad and effective distribution channels; and - Principal market and economic trends. Current and prospective competitors include: - Long distance and local telecommunications providers; - National Payroll services, such as ADP. Major long distance companies and cable companies currently offer Internet access services. Companies using wireless terrestrial and satellite-based technologies are expected to offer Internet connectivity and related services in the near future. Such competitors have the ability to bundle Internet connectivity with other services such as local and long distance telecommunications. This bundling could adversely affect our ability to compete and could result in a downward pressure on our prices that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We do not have available information that would permit us to accurately measure our market share. However, several major long distance service providers reported that they have millions of end-users each; compared to the approximately 700 direct residential and business users and almost 1,500 users through our wholesale customers, we have at present. In the area of payroll services, and more directly the area of payroll distribution, a number of our competitors report significantly greater revenues, and we believe that we represent substantially less than 1% of these market sectors. We strive to differentiate ourselves from our competitors by: - offering low prices made possible by our low overhead - focus on superior customer service; and - our ability to quickly adapt to new developments in our industry resulting from the small size of our organization. EMPLOYEES As of December 31, 2003 we had 5 full time employees categorized as follows: - 1 full time employee in sales and marketing; - 1 full time technical staff member; - 1 full time employee in product development; and - 2 full time employees in administration staff. There are no collective bargaining agreements in effect. We believe the relationships with our employees are good. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY We have no patented technology that would preclude or inhibit competitors from entering our market. We have entered into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees to limit access to and disclosure of our proprietary information. We intend to apply for copyrights as we develop new products and solutions. There can be no assurance that these measures will prove sufficient to prevent misappropriation of our intellectual property or to deter independent third-party development of similar products. The FCC has jurisdiction over all U.S. telecommunications common carriers to the extent they provide interstate or international communications services. Wile WorldTeq acts as a carrier reseller we still can be subject to the rules and regulations set, so that the FCC's current and future policies could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. In accordance with the FCC's Detariffing Order, our rates, terms and conditions for interstate and international services are no longer set forth in tariffs filed with the FCC. Nonetheless, we remain subject to the FCC's general requirements that rates must be just and reasonable, and not unreasonably discriminatory, and are also subject to the FCC's jurisdiction over complaints regarding our services. The detariffing of domestic interstate and international services may pose additional risks for us because we will no longer have the benefit of the "filed rate doctrine." This doctrine enabled us to bind our customers to the terms and conditions of the tariff without having each customer sign a written contract and enabled us to change rates and services on one day's notice. Since the rates and terms of service are no longer tariffed, we may be subjected to increased risk of claims from customers involving terms of service and rates that could impact our financial operations. RISK FACTORS You should consider carefully the risks described below and other information in this Form 10-KSB. If any of the events identified in the following risk factors actually occur, they could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES AND CANNOT BE CERTAIN WE WILL ACHIEVE POSITIVE CASH FLOW Since inception, we have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flow from operations. Although we have made significant steps toward profitability, we can give no assurances that we will not have continuing operating losses in the future. In the third quarter of 2003, we had our first profitable quarter in a year and a half; however, there are no assurances that this will continue. Even thereafter, we cannot be certain that we will achieve or sustain positive cash flow or profitability from our operations. Our net losses and negative cash flow from operating activities are likely to continue even longer than we currently anticipate if: - We cannot establish and maintain a customer base that generates sufficient revenue; - Prices for our products or services decline faster than we have anticipated; - We cannot remain competitive in the innovation and quality of our products; and - We cannot attract and retain qualified personnel. OUR ABILITY TO ACHIEVE OUR OBJECTIVES IS SUBJECT TO FINANCIAL, COMPETITIVE, REGULATORY, LEGAL, TECHNICAL AND OTHER FACTORS, MANY OF WHICH ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL. PURCHASES AND SALES OF OUR STOCK ARE SUBJECT TO PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS Our stock has had a market price of less than $5.00 per share. The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. During periods when our common stock does not qualify for inclusion on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market or is removed there from, the common stock may become subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the "penny stock" rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell our common stock in the public market. OUR LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO ASSESS OUR PAST PERFORMANCE AND FUTURE PROSPECTS We have limited historical operating and financial information, which may make our performance and our prospects difficult to evaluate. We have acquired five companies since the beginning of 1999 and disposed of substantially all of the businesses in which we were engaged in prior years. This limits the comparability of our operating and financial information from period to period. Our prospects need to be considered in light of the substantial risks, expenses, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the new and rapidly evolving markets for Internet products and services. Such risks include the possibility that: - We may be unable to increase and sustain levels of interest in our products and services by Associations, membership marketing companies and ISPs; - We may fail to sell our products successfully through our direct sales force; - Our competitors may develop services or products similar or superior to our own; - Market prices for our products and services may fall as a result of competition or other factors; - We may be unable to identify, attract, motivate and retain qualified personnel; and - We may fail to fully integrate our existing operations the technology and operations with any of the businesses that we might acquire. We cannot be sure that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operation. WE ARE DEPENDENT ON GLOBAL CROSSING FOR LONG DISTANCE AND OTHER VOICE SERVICES Our ability to offer end-user access to a tier one Voice network on an affordable basis is dependent upon our relationship with Global Crossing. If this relationship were to be terminated, or if the terms were to be substantially amended, we might be required to enter into arrangements for services with other providers on less favorable terms. There is no assurance that we would be able to purchase voice services on comparable terms, and there is no assurance that we would be able to pass on additional costs to our customers. Our inability to obtain minutes on comparable terms could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. WE RELY ON OTHERS TO MARKET OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES TO END-USERS We believe that we may derive the majority of our recurring revenues from subscription fees and fees for value added services paid by end-users of our products and services. The amount of these revenues is dependent upon the level of success achieved by resellers, membership marketing companies and multi-level market organizations (MLM's) in marketing our products and services to their members and customers. If sales to end-users do not meet our expectations, our business would be adversely affected and we would be required to develop alternate marketing and sales strategies. WE ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS AS WE MAKE ACQUISITIONS AND ENGAGE IN STRATEGIC ALLIANCES As part of our business strategy, we may acquire, make investments in, or enter into strategic alliances with companies in complementary businesses, so as to optimize our market presence in the regions we presently serve and expand into other regions. In particular, we intend to acquire local and regional ISPs and E-commerce companies. Any such future acquisitions, investments or strategic alliances would involve risks, such as: - Incorrect assessment of the value, strengths and weaknesses of acquisition and investment opportunities; - Underestimating the difficulty of integrating the operations and personnel of newly acquired companies; - Potential disruption of our ongoing business, including possible diversions of resources and management time; - Potential inability to maintain uniform standards, control, procedures and policies; and - The threat of impairing relationships with employees and customers as a result of changes in management or ownership. We cannot assure that we will be successful in overcoming these risks. Moreover, we cannot be certain that any desired acquisition, investment or strategic alliance could be made in a timely manner or on terms and conditions acceptable to us. Neither can we assure that we will be successful in identifying attractive acquisition candidates. We expect that competition for such acquisitions may be significant. Competition for Internet companies is based on a number of factors including price, terms and conditions, size, access to capital, and ability to offer cash, stock or other forms of consideration. We may compete with others who have similar acquisition strategies, many of whom may be larger and have access to greater financial and other resources than those available to us at any given time. An additional risk associated with acquisitions is that many attractive acquisition candidates do not have audited financial statements and have varying degrees of internal controls. Although we may believe that the available financial information for a particular business is reliable, we cannot guarantee that a subsequent audit would not reveal matters of significance, including but not limited to those in connection with liabilities, contingent or otherwise. We expect that, from time to time in the future, we will enter into acquisition agreements, the pro forma effect of which are not known and cannot be predicted. WE MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY MANAGING OUR RAPID GROWTH Our growth strategy has placed, and will continue to place, a significant strain on our customer support, sales and marketing, administrative resources, network and operations, and management and billing systems. Such a strain on our administrative and operational capabilities could adversely affect the quality of our services and our ability to collect revenues. To manage our growth effectively, we will have to enhance the efficiency of our operational support, all back office processes and financial systems and controls. We cannot assure that we will be able to maintain adequate internal operating, administrative and financial systems, and procedures and controls. Managing our growth will become even more challenging as we expand our target markets and our product and service offerings. Promotion and enhancement of our products and services will depend largely on our success in continuing to provide high quality Internet communications services, solution and product support. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to maintain those levels of quality. If we are unable to do so or otherwise fail to promote and maintain our products or services, or if we incur excessive expenses in an attempt to improve our services or promote and maintain our products, then our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, as we continue to grow we will have to expand and train our employee base to handle the increased volume and complexities of our business. We cannot assure that we will be able to attract, train and manage sufficient personnel to keep pace with our growth. SALES OF SHARES BY OUR SHAREHOLDERS COULD DEPRESS OUR STOCK PRICE The market price of our common stock could drop as a result of sales of a large number of our shares in the public market. The perception that such sales may occur could have the same effect. As of January 31, 2004, our executive officers, directors and affiliates owned, directly or indirectly, less then 1% of our common stock. WE ARE SUBJECT TO SECURITY AND FRAUD RISKS Despite our efforts to implement network security measures, such as limiting physical and network access to our computers, our Internet infrastructure is vulnerable to computer viruses, break-ins and similar disruptive problems caused by customers, employees or other Internet users. Computer viruses, break-ins or other disruptive or security problems could lead to interruptions, delays or cessation in service to our Internet customers. Further, such inappropriate or unauthorized use of the Internet could also potentially jeopardize the security of confidential information stored in the computer systems of our customers and other parties connected to the Internet, which may deter potential customers and give rise to liability to users whose security or privacy has been violated. The security and privacy concerns of existing and potential customers may inhibit the growth of the Internet service industry in general and our customer base and revenues in particular. A significant security breach could result in a loss of customers, damage to our reputation, direct damages, costs of repair and detection and other expenses. In addition, our revenues for any given period may be adversely affected by fraud or debt collection problems that we experience. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect our business, results of operations and financial condition. WE MAY BE HURT BY SYSTEM FAILURES Our success is largely dependent upon our ability to deliver high speed, uninterrupted access to the Internet. Any system failure that causes interruptions in our operations could have a material adverse effect on us. We currently rely upon our vendor's Internet Network. Failures in this or any other telecommunications network on which we rely would result in customers' receiving no or diminished access to the Internet. WE COULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR INFORMATION DISSEMINATED OVER OUR NETWORK The law relating to the liability of ISPs for information and materials carried on or disseminated through their networks has not been completely clarified. The possibility that courts could impose liability for information or material carried on or disseminated through our network could require us to take measures to reduce our exposure to such liability. Such measures may require us to spend substantial resources or to discontinue certain product or service offerings. Any of these actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Due to the increasing use of the Internet, it is possible that additional laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet covering issues such as user privacy, pricing, taxes, defamation, obscenity, intellectual property protection, consumer protection, technology export and other controls. Changes in the regulatory environment relating to the Internet services industry could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition. WE ARE SUBJECT TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RISKS Legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights in Internet-related industries are uncertain and still evolving and we cannot be certain as to the future viability or value of any of our intellectual property rights or those of other companies within the IT industry. We cannot assure that the steps we have taken to protect our intellectual property rights will be adequate or that third parties will not infringe or misappropriate our proprietary rights. Any such infringement or misappropriation, should it occur, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, we cannot be certain that our business activities will not infringe the proprietary rights of others or that such other parties will not assert infringement claims against us. We anticipate that we may be subject to claims in the ordinary course of our business, including claims of alleged infringement of the trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third parties due to the dissemination of our content or the provision of access by our online services to content made available by third parties. Such claims and any resultant litigation, should it occur, could subject us to significant liability for damages and could result in invalidation of our property rights and, even if not meritorious, could be time-consuming and expensive to defend, and could result in the diversion of management time and attention, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We regard substantial elements of our products and services as proprietary, and we attempt to protect them by relying on trademark, service mark, trade dress, copyright and trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure and transfer of title. We also enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, suppliers, distributors, consultants, vendors and customer and license agreements with third parties and generally seek to control access to and distribution of our technology, documentation and other proprietary information. We are pursuing the registration of our service marks, but we currently have no patents or applications for patents pending for our products or services. Effective service mark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available. WE ARE SUBJECT TO THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH RAPID INDUSTRY CHANGES The Internet services industry in which we operate is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, emerging competition and frequent new service, software and other product innovations. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to identify new service opportunities successfully and develop and bring new products and services to market in a timely and cost-effective manner, or that product, software and services or technologies developed by others will not render our products and services non-competitive or obsolete. In addition, we cannot provide any assurance that our product or service developments or enhancements will achieve or sustain market acceptance or be able to address effectively the compatibility and interoperability issues raised by technological changes or new industry standards. WE DO NOT EXPECT TO PAY DIVIDENDS The Company does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY Our headquarter is located at 30 West Gude Drive, Suite 470, Rockville, Maryland 20850, where we share approximately 13,000 square feet of office space. The month-to-month term of the lease commenced on August 1, 2002 and the monthly rent is $3000.00. We previously leased 450 square feet of office space in Sandusky, Ohio at an annual rental of $3,750, and approximately 2,800 square feet in Fremont, Ohio at an annual rental of $16,800. The properties were subject to one-year leases that expired on July 31, 2002 however they continued on a month-to-month basis until December 31, 2003 and are no longer being utilized. This property is no longer the responsibility of WorldTeq Group as it is now the responsibility of Networld Ohio since the sale of that subsidiary. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS From time to time we are involved in litigation incidental to the conduct of our business. We are not currently a party to any lawsuit or proceeding which, in the opinion of management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We are pursuing through legal channels the collection of several cases, one in the amount of $3,400,000 where we have a default judgment against St. Andrews Telecommunications and are investigating the possibility of pursuing the management and shareholders to collect. We have filed in District Court in Montgomery County MD a suit to collect $337,000 by Zenex Telecommunications; this debt has a signed promissory note and guarantee from the public company parent Zenex International. In the beginning of 2003, our former President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Bruce Bertman, was convicted in the Southern District of Florida for wire, mail and securities fraud and conspiracy in connection with the sale of WorldTeq Group International common stock. There are no allegations of financial statement impropriety, unlike recent actions taken against companies such as WorldCom. We have no reason to believe our financial statements as filed with the SEC are in any way inaccurate or will in any way require restatement. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matters were submitted during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this Report to a vote of security holders, through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS On October 10, 1998 shares of our common stock, par value $.001, were initially available to the public on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "HALO". On May 24, 1999 the board of directors and shareholders approved a name change to A1 Internet.com Inc. and the symbol was changed to "AWON". On January 4, 1999, the SEC approved amendments to Rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers that limit quotations on the OTC Bulletin Board to the stock of companies that are registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On November 19, 1999, an "E" was affixed to our OTC Bulletin Board trading symbol and our common stock began trading under the symbol "AWONE." Our common stock was removed from the OTC Bulletin Board on December 16, 1999, because we had not then completed the registration process, and began trading on the "Pink Sheets" of the National Quotation Bureau, LLC. The closing price of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board $4.125 as of December 15, 1999. In March 2000, we completed our registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. On March 20, 2000, our common stock was once again listed on the OTC Bulletin Board and began trading under the symbol "AWON." In late 2000 an "E" was affixed to our OTC Bulletin Board trading symbol and our common stock began trading under the symbol "AWONE.

The closing price of our common stock on the OTC was $0.11 as of December 31, 2003.

RECENT SALE OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES: We made the following sales of unregistered common stock during the year ended December 31, 2003. During September 2003 we issued 5,343,511 shares of our common stock to Bruce Bertman, the previous CEO of WorldTeq Group International, Inc., in exchange for forgiveness of debt in the amount of $100,000. During October 2003 we issued 588,235 shares of our common stock to Howard Lieberman, father of the current CEO, Jeffrey Lieberman, in exchange for forgiveness of debt in the amount of $50,000. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing stock transactions. The securities issued in connection with each of the above financings were private transactions, in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act, promulgated thereunder, because each offering was a non-public offering to accredited investors. The shares are subject to registration restrictions for a period of two years.OPTIONS AND WARRANTS: In September 2003, in exchange for investment banking services, we issued stock purchase warrants to Aero Financial, Inc. to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.10 per share. These shares later were registered under the Form S-8 filed in October 2003. In October of 2003 we completed a Form S-8, which registered five million shares according to the 2003 Stock Option Plan. In October 2003, in exchange for investor relations services we issued stock purchase warrants to Jim Price and Tim Rieu to purchase 4,000,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.05 per share under this plan. In October 2003, Jim Price and Tim Rieu each exercised 1,000,000 shares underlying the warrants. Additionally, in January 2004, they exercised the remaining 1,000,000 shares underlying their warrants. In February 2004, we registered 3,350,000 shares under our 2004 Employee Stock Option Plan on a Form S-8. We granted our CEO, Jeffrey Lieberman an option to purchase 2,000,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.13 per share. We also granted our VP of Sales, Brian Rosinski an option to purchase 350,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.13 per share. For both options, 16.667% of the Shares subject to the Option shall vest six months after February 25, 2004, and 1/36 of the Shares subject to the Option shall vest each month thereafter, subject to the Optionee continuing to be a Service Provider on such dates. ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, related notes, and other detailed information included elsewhere in this Form 10-KSB. Certain information contained below and elsewhere in this Form 10-KSB, including information regarding our plans and strategy for our business, are forward-looking statements. See "Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements." RECENT DEVELOPMENTS In February of 2003, the former CEO of the company resigned and was immediately replaced on February 6th by Jeffrey Lieberman, the former Vice President Operations. Additionally, on February 26, 2003 Mr. Lieberman assumed the duties of Chairman of the Board. In May of 2003, the Board of Directors and Management approved the sale of Networld Ohio, Inc. to our former president and CEO, Bruce Bertman. In September of 2003 the Board of Directors and new Management decided to modify our business plan to better focus on our core competencies, in addition to concentrating on reducing debt, reducing operational overhead, and reducing expenses by outsourcing key components of sales and operations. As part of our modified business plan, in September of 2003, Management pursued making the MonEcard available. The revised plan called for a complete restructuring of the company that included 1) a change in our staff with more experience in our industry, 2) accelerated migration of direct customer sales staff to that of contracted agents and direct telemarketing organizations 3) discontinuation of unprofitable, low-margin business lines and 4) implementation of certain cost reduction procedures such as complete sales automation for its communication products. Implementation of this plan commenced in the third quarter of 2003 and 5) the previous sale of one of our subsidiaries, NetWorld Ohio, Inc and 6) launching of our financial services product, MonEcard. 2003 KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS During 2003, WorldTeq has overcome many obstacles. WorldTeq survived and grew during a year where there were changes in leadership and attacks on our customer base from competitors of our staple long distance business. The company credits its survival and improved performance on the following accomplishments, which are all centered on four key ideas: Cost Reduction, New Products, Sales Automation, and an Expanded Sales Department. - Signed three new agents for the telecom business - Sold subsidiary of the company without significantly impacting revenues - Reduced long term debt by $600,000 - Reduced annual overhead expenses by $300,000 - Reorganized management to concentrate on efficiencies and sales growth - Launched MonEcard product and signed first contracts - Increased exposure in the financial marketplace - Enhanced end-user website to include digital signatures for online ordering - Launched a new enhanced billing system LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES FINANCIAL CONDITION We have limited financial resources after our restructuring. We have eliminated non-productive assets and pared down our workforce to reduce overhead, we sold one of our subsidiaries which reduced our debt by nearly $400,000. We have little long-term debt. Although our operating cash flow was negative in the fourth quarter of 2003; we believe it may be positive for 2004. We raised $100,000 of capital through the exercise of warrants in 2003, which was used to greatly reduce both long and short-term debts during WorldTeq's restructuring phase. In 2002, we financed $154,887 negative operating cash flow with $150,524 in key shareholder loans and contributions to capital. As our base continues to grow each month, slowly we hope we can reduce our reliance on any single customer. In addition, our new billing system provides us with improved tracking ability for receivables and a reduced occurrence of billing errors. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Total sales for the year ending 2003 decreased from 2002 by 80% to $820,933. This was largely due to the reorganization of the company that included the discontinuation of unprofitable business segments, such as the wholesale telecommunications business and the sale of a subsidiary during the year, Networld. The company concentrated its efforts during the first three quarters of the year on automating back office processes to allow us to greatly reduce monthly expenses. Additionally, we spent most of the year developing new products that should be much more profitable. We created new plans and refocused our sales efforts from residential long distance to business long distance. We began the early stages of developing MundoTeq, a Spanish Internet web portal and the development of our own proprietary VOIP network. As a result of the change of focus, our telecommunications revenue accounted for 70% of our total revenue for 2003. Our net loss for the year ending 2003 was $298,418 or $0.01 per share, compared to $536,797 for 2002, an improvement of 44% over the period ending December 31, 2002. Our total operating loss for the period ending December 31, 2003 was $368,880 Cost of sales for 2003 decreased from 2002 by 79%. This is due to the sale of Networld and the removal of the unprofitable wholesale telecommunications business. Selling, General and Administrative expenses for the period ending December 31, 2003 decreased by $1,199,217 or 65% compared to the same period ending 2002. The sale of Networld greatly reduced these expenses. Additionally, because of our reorganization efforts in WorldTeq Corporation and the automation of our back office we were able to greatly decrease our monthly expenses. We do anticipate a slight increase in 2004 due to the fact we are launching new products in 2004. While costs will be kept to a minimum because of our back office automation, we are expecting additional costs with our new MundoTeq and VoIP products. These new costs will be directly related to new revenues. Our bad debt expense for 2003 totaled $24,920 compared to $667,981 in 2002. This is due to the fact that while we had one large customer last year who defaulted, the improvements in our new billing system make sure non paying customers are no longer running long distance traffic through us. Interest expense dropped by 73% to $12,107 and depreciation expense dropped 22% and totaled $37,091 for the period ending December 31, 2003. In May of 2003 we successfully concluded the sale of our subsidiary NetWorld Ohio and we realized a one-time gain in 2003 plus a reduction in our overall debt total by approximately $400,000. To meet our growth expectations, we anticipate that we will need to add up to 6 to 8 additional employees in the areas of sales, marketing, and sales support over the next twelve months. However, we do not see a need to invest further in our back office infrastructure such as servers, office equipment, and software to sustain our growth projections for the next 2 years, based on the infrastructure need for current product offerings.

Rockville, Maryland We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of WorldTeq Group International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of WorldTeq's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of WorldTeq Group International, Inc. as of December 31, 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that WorldTeq will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, WorldTeq's significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

WORLDTEQ GROUP INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of business. WorldTeq Group International, Inc. ("WorldTeq") is a Nevada corporation formed October 13, 1997 and originally named Halo Holdings of Nevada, Inc. The name was changed to A1 Internet.com, Inc. in 1999 and again on October 15, 2002 to the current name. In 1999, WorldTeq acquired Virtual Information Express, Inc., Computer Ease LLC, and Networld Ohio, Inc. Virtual Information Express and Computer Ease were discontinued in 2000. WorldTeq sells long-distance telephone service and various Internet-related services, including website creation and hosting and internet connectivity services. Basis of presentation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WorldTeq and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, WorldTeq Corporation and NetWorld of Ohio, Inc. Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Estimates and assumptions. Preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses at the balance sheet date and for the period then ended. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less. Restricted cash is a credit card merchant cash deposit to secure customer credit card long distance payments. Revenue recognition. Revenue from internet and long-distance services is recognized when services are rendered. Deferred revenue represents collected prepaid long-distance services. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on credit experience. Property and Equipment. The Company calculates depreciation for financial reporting for its computers and other equipment using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets, estimated at 3 - 5 years. Income taxes. Income taxes are computed using the tax liability method of accounting, whereby deferred income taxes are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences reverse. Advertising costs. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Loss per Share. Basic loss per share equals net loss divided by weighted average shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share include the impact of common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method when the effect is dilutive. There were no common stock equivalents during 2003 or 2002. Stock based compensation. Stock options are accounted for by following Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, and by following Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, which established a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. Had compensation cost for the WorldTeq's stock-based compensation plan for employees been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans consistent with the Black-Scholes option-pricing model suggested by FASB Statement 123, the Company's net losses and loss per share would have been increased to the pro forma amount indicated below: 2003 2002 ------------ ---------- Net loss available for common shareholders -As reported $( 298,418) $(536,797) -Pro forma ( 298,418) (536,797) Net loss per share -As reported $ (.01) $ (.03) -Pro forma (.01) (.03) New Accounting Principles. WorldTeq does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flow. NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN The financial statements have been prepared assuming that WorldTeq will continue as a going concern. WorldTeq has a significant accumulated deficit and working capital deficiency at December 31, 2003 and is unable to meet its obligations as they come due; all of which raise substantial doubt about WorldTeq's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should WorldTeq be unable to continue as a going concern. The continued support of WorldTeq's creditors, lenders and shareholders is required in order for WorldTeq to continue as a going concern. Management's plans to support WorldTeq's operations include cutting overhead costs, borrowing additional funds and raising additional capital. WorldTeq's inability to obtain additional capital or obtain such capital on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations and its ability to continue operations. NOTE 3 - Sale of Networld In May 2003, WorldTeq sold its Networld of Ohio subsidiary to a company owned by the majority stockholder for $1 and the assumption of approximately $352,000 in net liabilities. The transaction was recorded as an increase in additional paid in capital in 2003. NOTE 4 - NOTE PAYABLE TO STOCKHOLDER In February 2003, WorldTeq signed a note with the majority stockholder. This note is secured by all asset of WorldTeq, bears interest at 8% and is due in monthly installments of $4,000, with the balance due February 2004. The note is convertible at the option of the holder at $.10 per share or the average of the closing bid price for the prior 20 day period. During 2003, the holder of the note converted $100,000 into 5,343,511 shares of common stock. NOTE 5 - NOTE PAYABLE This note is past due and incurs interest at 15% and is convertible at the option of the holder at $.10 per share or the average of the closing price for the prior 20 day period. During 2003, the holder of the note converted $50,000 into 588,235 shares of common stock. NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES WorldTeq has had losses since inception and therefore has no income tax liability. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry-forward has been fully reserved. The cumulative net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $20,400,000 at December 31, 2003, and will expire in various years through 2023. Deferred income taxes consist of the following at December 31, 2003: Long-term: Deferred tax assets $ 6,900,000 Valuation allowance (6,900,000) ------------ $ - ============ NOTE 7 - PREFERRED STOCK Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was issued in 1999 for net proceeds of $3,602,560. It is convertible into the Company's common stock at any time at the option of the holder on a one-for-one basis. This series is non-voting and pays no dividends. The liquidation value is $4.50 per share. Preferred stockholders have converted 60,000 shares of preferred stock into 60,000 shares of common stock. Note 8 - COMMON STOCK In 2003, WorldTeq issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock for $100,000 related to the exercise of warrants issued during 2003. In 2003, note holders converted $150,000 into 5,931,746 shares of common sotck (see notes 4 and 5). In 2002, WorldTeq recorded expense totaling $104,300 related to stock issued for services. The stock was valued at the trading price on the date of issuance. 100,000 shares were issued to a consultant for investor relations services, 200,000 shares were issued to the president and majority shareholder as a bonus and the remaining 120,000 shares were issued to various employees as a bonus. In 2002, WorldTeq recorded a $110,000 reduction in note payable to the majority shareholder in exchange for 920,000 shares of common stock. The transaction was approved by the board of directors. In 2002, WorldTeq recorded 60,000 shares of common stock issued in exchange for 60,000 shares of preferred stock. In 2002, 100,000 shares of common stock were returned to WorldTeq by a stockholder. These shares were retired in 2003. NOTE 9 - STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS WorldTeq's Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of both qualified and non-qualified options to directors, employees and consultants of WorldTeq, and opportunities for directors, officers, employees and consultants of WorldTeq to make purchases of stock in WorldTeq. In addition, WorldTeq issues stock warrants from time to time to employees, consultants, stockholders and creditors as additional financial incentives. The plan and warrants issuance are administered by the Board of Directors of WorldTeq, who have substantial discretion to determine which persons, amounts, time, price, exercise terms, and restrictions, if any. WorldTeq uses the intrinsic value method of calculating compensation expense for employees, as described and recommended by APB Opinion 25, and allowed by FASB Statement 123. During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, no compensation expense was recognized for the issuance of options and warrants to employees, because no option prices were below market prices at the date of grant No options were issued to employee in 2003 or 2002. During the year ended December 31, 2003, WorldTeq issued 2,000,000 options to consultants whose stock-based compensation must be recorded at fair value calculated using Black Scholes. The compensation cost record for these warrants was $53,000. Variables used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model include (1) 1.5% risk-free interest rate, (2) expected life of one year, (3) 100% volatility and (4) zero expected dividends.

At December 31, 2002 WorldTeq had a liability recorded of approximately $222,000 and received a credit totaling approximately $81,000 during 2003 leaving a liability of approximately $141,000 at December 31, 2003. However, Worldteq had been invoiced approximately $710,000. The disputed difference of approximately $488,000 relates mainly to charges incurred at various payphones. WorldTeq obtained a waiver from liability from the payphones owner and from Qwest for any of these charges. Management is currently in contact with Qwest and the differences are being reviewed by the Qwest. Management believes WorldTeq is not liable for the charges since waivers were obtained and has not recorded any liability related to these payphone fees. If WorldTeq is ultimately responsible for the charges they would be required to record an additional liability of approximately $488,000. The carrier has not made demand for payment of the balance since early 2003. NOTE 11 - MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND VENDORS One customer accounted for approximately 30% of Worldteq's revenues in 2003 and 2002. Global Crossing accounted for approximately 90% of long-distance carrier purchases in 2003 and 2002. NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In January and February 2004 Worldteq received $100,000 from the exercise of 2,000,000 options issued in 2004. In February 2004, Worldteq purchased long-distance customer base for $50,000 in cash. NOTE 13 - RESTATEMENTS OF PREVIOUSLY REPORTED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Worldteq erroneously reduced the note payable to stockholder and general and administrative expense at December 31, 2003 due to clerical error.
