GlobeTel Announces Partnership with Universal Express Inc.
Wednesday August 27, 1:03 pm ET
MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 27, 2003--GlobeTel Communications Corp. (OTCBB:GTEL - News), today announced that it is set to launch its stored value prepaid calling card service with Universal Cash Express, a division of Universal Express Capital Corp. Universal Express Capital Corp. is a wholly own subsidiary of Universal Express Inc. (OTCBB:USXP - News).
Universal Cash Express will offer these services to thousands of private postal stores throughout North America. Tim Huff, CEO of GlobeTel Communications Corp stated, "The agreement with Universal Express Capital Corp. provides GTEL a valuable distribution network to initiate our prepaid debit/credit card services announced in July. To view our platform services that will be rolled out to Universal Cash Express see our press release of July 16, 2003 (http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/030716/165294_1.html)
Brett Hudson, President of Universal Cash Express, stated, "Engaging this contract with GlobeTel provides Universal Cash Express an enormous opportunity to issue an International Debit/Credit Card on the spot. Our unique (POSA) point-of-sale-activation terminal gives Universal Cash Express the foundation for setting up merchants as retail/load stations and offers a method to send money Worldwide with its card-to-card money transfer capability." Mr. Hudson went on to say, "The Universal Express International Debit/Credit Card, in addition to bank functionality, will provide a rechargeable phone card for International and Domestic phone calls at some of the lowest rates available today through the GlobeTel Network. This results in the right product for the targeted consumer. In addition, this provides a cost effective structure for the merchant, allowing for a strong revenue producing center both at point of sale and on a recurring basis."
David Russell of Universal Express Capital Corp. continued by saying, "Providing a substantive and diversified product line within Universal Cash Express significantly improves the fundamental implementation of its prepaid stored value card program. This enables us to place a desirable and profitable offering into the WorldPost network of retail outlets as well as the general marketplace, via both direct sale and POSA inclusion. GlobeTel and Universal Cash Express provide the synergy for a profitable relationship."

Hey Carpie, glad you made it over! Hoping for news on "funding"
soon, after that we roll, imo...take care...rock
Remember, GTEL will be connecting their network to Grupo's network allowing customers from that base to use our card..rock
smch and all, as stated in paragraph below, Mexico and Brazil are using GTEL receivables to set the "card" up in their countries. GTEL expects their share to be about $350k to go towards the rollout. Gtel applied for $1.6MM loan on June 30th, 2003, one could possibly assume the monies needed would come from that loan IF APPROVED, JMO...rock
We have recently begun distribution of our new product called "The Magic Money Card(R)." The Magic Money Card(R), in addition to being a prepaid calling card, is also a debit card/stored value card offering services that will include prepaid calling and added financial services such as domestic and foreign money remittances that will allow the user to shop in places that accept MasterCard and Maestro Debit/Credit Cards. Our associate in this venture is a company called Grupo Ingedigit, a certified MasterCard services provider, through its subsidiary in the U.S., AmericasCom International, Inc. As part of the agreement, we will be connecting our network with Grupo Ingedigit's network, valued at over $5 million and in return, the group will be able to tap into our current market, starting with the Mexico and Brazil markets. We have been negotiating with several companies who want to avail of this service, and we believe that we will be able to generate considerable revenues from this product once we have fully setup with all our networks. We have receivables from our Mexico and Brazil customers which we are allowing them to utilize to help set up the Magic Money Card(R) program in their respective countries. We expect that our contributions to the rollout of the networks in Mexico and Brazil will not exceed $350,000.
Faq's update
Question: Good Day, On August 20 , a poster by the alias name of
BOZO217 posted the following on the GTEL Raging Bull Message Board. Is the information correct/accurate that he claims ? If so when did GTEL plan to advise it's shareholders ? And how are planning to safeguard the investment $$$$ of GTEL Shareholders. Thank you In Advance for your anticipated Response.
Here is the posting by BozO217:
To Strikeitrich and all who read this Board.
You are correct when you assume that Management are not keeping
shareholders or the market informed. Two days ago IPW was put into liquidation by the Court in Australia, as a result of ongoing action by a number of creditors. The creditors had been waiting for over 12 months for GlobeTel to [honor] its agreement with IPW. GlobeTel has only ever delivered 1 network (Brazil) and more importantly never paid any income from that network to IPW.
I believe readers of this Board can come to their own conclusions as to GTEL Management being open, honest and [competent].
The implications of this development are also obvious for the future of
GTEL. The Shareholders of IPW have a very different view as to the Management skills of GTEL compared to some of the glowing views expressed on this Board.
I regret that this news had to come to readers in this manner as it was the responsibility of Management.
Bozo 217
Response: Well, as usually is the case, some of what he said is correct, most is
not. IPW is in liquidation and the court appointed administer is
working with IPW and the creditors to agree to a pay out that would
bring them out of liquidation. It is our opinion that this is a good
move for IPW, since it will clear up all their creditors at one time and
stop the distractions that have slowed its list. As far as the other
claims by Bozo, they are far from the facts and the agreements that have the IPW shareholder's approval and that form the basis of the
relationship between IPW and Charterhouse and then Charterhouse and GTEL. GTEL has stopped the rollout of networks to IPW until the issue of their list is resolved.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question: It is great to see a reduction of almost 50 million shares. Is
there a potential for additional shares to be retired? If so, how many
shares? Thanks for your continued efforts.
- Eric Stamps
Response: Yes there is an opportunity to retire more shares and we are working on doing so. The company is in the middle of fund raising and new shares will be presented to investors into the company so it is important that we manage the process.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question: As a long time investor, I have been very pleased with the recent announcements regarding GTEL, especially it's recent new high
stock price of $.047.
What concerns me is that the stock is never able to maintain interim
daily highs. Example, the stock price is back to $.03.
I realize that senior management is very busy with building this company. But how are we going to build stockholder support the stock price.
Last year I remember management stated that during 2003 brokerage
support would be expanded in the U.S. and Europe. Can someone explain what is currently being done in this area and what are the time frames.
-Stephen Ehrling
Response: The company will soon turn its sights on the Public markets. We are
planning in this area but we are trying to finish the fund raising and
the telecom plans for the rest of this year. I do realize your
frustration but this needs to be built one step at a time to make sure
that the structure will support the fruits of our labor. I am in the
beginning of the second year of a three year plan. Year two we will
focus on fund raising and the public markets as we expand our business.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
smch, in reality we already have a partner in the card business.
GTEL, with its partner Grupo Ingedigit, through its subsidiary in the U.S., AmericasCom International, Inc., have begun their program to start distribution of its Magic Money Card(R), a prepaid calling card and MasterCard and Maestro Debit/Credit Card all rolled into one with a host of additional stored value services.
http://www.ingedigit.com/ingles/index.htm
Hoping this all comes together as management has made it sound like it's much more than they expected...rock
smch, not sure I answered your question. It will look and work just like a credit/debit card but it will have all the services I listed in previous post. Why not have a card that does it all?..I am getting the impression it could possibly be a cash cow if things are done properly and the funds are generated by GTEL to get it going everywhere, jmo...rock
smch, this explains it pretty well,
(taken from company press release)
GTEL, with its partner Grupo Ingedigit, through its subsidiary in the U.S., AmericasCom International, Inc., have begun their program to start distribution of its Magic Money Card(R), a prepaid calling card and MasterCard and Maestro Debit/Credit Card all rolled into one with a host of additional stored value services. The Magic Money Card(R) is not just a prepaid calling card, it is a debit card/stored value card offering services that not only include prepaid calling, but adds financial services such as domestic and foreign money remittances and allows you to shop in all the 20 million places that accept MasterCard and Maestro Debit/Credit Cards and use any of the 1 million ATMs worldwide that have the Maestro and Cirrus logos.
This product will not only allow all of GTEL's prepaid calling customers to upgrade their calling cards to MasterCard and Maestro Debit/Credit Cards but will offer to GTEL a much larger new customer base to sell not only telephony services but a host of other financial and non-financial services. Under the Grupo Ingedigit aegis as a certified MasterCard services provider, the Magic Money Card(R) services will be available around the world. GTEL sees this opportunity as a quantum leap to gain brand recognition for its prepaid calling services while providing its customers with a full array of MasterCard Debit/Credit Card features and GTEL stored value services. GTEL customers will use the debit/credit cards to make prepaid telephone calls, transfer funds, go out to dinner or take a vacation. GTEL expects to earn substantial income from these financial and merchant services in addition to its telephony services.
Sounds as if GTEL has drawn quite a bit of interest in the Magic Money card..
Another exciting venture for GTEL is the Magic Money Card, which allows credit/debit card transactions and prepaid calling. Since our announcement that the technology has finished the testing process and the product/service is ready for release, we have been literally bombarded with companies desiring access to the platform. Over the next 30 days, we will be announcing the agreements and contracts with companies and partners in Mexico, Poland, Australia, China and Brazil. With the money remittance feature and the prepaid calling combined into one card, this offers the ability and potential to dwarf our previous projections for a predominately telecom related business. The Magic Money Card is to be distributed in the United States beginning October 1, 2003.
August 21, 2003..Letter to Shareholders,
August 21, 2003
To Our Valued Shareholders,
Personally, I hope this finds you and your families well in this very unique time in our history. Much has and is taking place on the national and international scene. Personal security and guaranties we once took for granted are now viewed in a different light.
I will address several important issues and ones that have been of concern by virtue of e-mail and phone contacts to our staff and me. Of course, we are concerned with any and everything connected with the company but we cannot keep you aware of the daily activities, as we need to run your company.
Even though we moved several of our key staff members to Miami earlier in the year, as well as my own family, we have had little time to enjoy the environment as it has taken our combined resources, time and energies to build the company.
We will endeavor to more communicative in the future about the status and activities of GlobeTel Communications Corp (GTEL), and hopefully, in the near future, will have others assisting us in getting information to our shareholders and the public.
As you are aware, the SB-2 was withdrawn. The SB-2 was to register 60 million shares. One basic purpose was to have unrestricted stock for resale in order to pay off loans for $ 500,000. The note holders for the $ 500,000 have agreed to accept payment of the note for approximately 22 million shares of 144 stock being held by the escrow agent.
There were also other two notes, totaling $ 250,000, that were not part of the SB-2 and are collateralized by 30 million shares. These notes will be satisfied by the end of August.
The end result is that the notes will have been satisfied and 38 million shares will be returned to GlobeTel's treasury, the outstanding share balance will be reduced by 38 million shares, to be reflected in the third quarter filing. There will also be additional shares returned to treasury when the two notes totaling $ 250,000 are satisfied.
Now, a topic of concern by us all, IP World, Ltd. (IPW). We entered into the initial agreements, as we believed it was good for GTEL and it was done for several reasons. First, in redesigning ADGI/GTEL last year, we needed a partner in Asia and at the time IPW offered some distinct advantages. IPW was represented as being a couple of months away from listing, which our due diligence, at the time, confirmed. Both Charterhouse and I knew and had dealt with some of the key parties involved in IPW so we believed all was in order. The original agreement was constructed to be tri-lateral with IPW acquiring six (6) networks from Charterhouse and then Charterhouse contracting with GTEL to build the networks. IPW was to receive twenty-five percent (25%) of the profits of any traffic that GTEL sent over the networks, but GTEL had no obligation to send their traffic over the six networks.
Since GTEL was going to be a shareholder in IPW, we would have a definite incentive to run traffic over the networks to enhance our asset in IPW stock, this being mutually beneficial as to the potential growth for both companies.
Unexpectedly, a problem arose. Charterhouse elected to transfer its shares in IPW to another Charterhouse entity in Malaysia for reasons of operations and time zone considerations. Under their agreement with IPW, Charterhouse had this right but the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC), the SEC comparable of Australia, viewed this as a change of more than twenty percent (20%) of the company to another party. They ruled that this exchange must be approved by the shareholders of IPW. IPW, over the next several months, tried to show that the two companies were in fact the same, but could not convince the ASIC. During this period and time delay, other issues surfaced with IPW. GTEL’s agreement for compensation with Charterhouse to deliver the six networks was based on “cash and/or tradable securities”. This was not a stipulation in the IPW/Charterhouse agreement. This caused additional concerns with the ASIC as to how it viewed IPW’s control over the process and the networks.
GTEL and IPW then began to reconstruct the agreements to make the transaction a more direct relationship. This new agreement was to have been presented to the upcoming IPW shareholder’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) for their approval to replace the agreement of June of 2002. The delay in relisting of IPW also caused substantial creditor issues. IPW has been placed in liquidation proceedings by three of the creditors and a court appointed representative is to decide if indeed a majority of the creditors will agree on terms of settlement. IPW has over $ 1.5 million AUS in debt. Under Australian law, if terms cannot be reached with a majority of the creditors, then the company will sell all of its assets to satisfy the creditors. This can be a good thing for IPW and GTEL as IPW has the opportunity to settle with all of its creditors at one time and clean up its balance sheet. With this scenario, IPW will come out of liquidation and proceed to relist without distraction. The AGM is to be held around the end of September. After the AGM, there are approximately fourteen (14) days to clear other outstanding issues with the ASIC and Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) for relisting.
We have given notice to Charterhouse that all issues concerning IPW must be cleared by the third quarter filing for GTEL or we will call for a default on agreements with Charterhouse and seek restitution and payment under the agreements between GTEL and Charterhouse. We do not believe this will happen and still believe the end result will be good for GTEL. This is but one of many things that are in motion and either IPW becomes a solid asset or something to handle but we are moving on and rapidly on other fronts.
Another exciting venture for GTEL is the Magic Money Card, which allows credit/debit card transactions and prepaid calling. Since our announcement that the technology has finished the testing process and the product/service is ready for release, we have been literally bombarded with companies desiring access to the platform. Over the next 30 days, we will be announcing the agreements and contracts with companies and partners in Mexico, Poland, Australia, China and Brazil. With the money remittance feature and the prepaid calling combined into one card, this offers the ability and potential to dwarf our previous projections for a predominately telecom related business. The Magic Money Card is to be distributed in the United States beginning October 1, 2003.
As I’ve previously stated, we have embarked upon a three-year plan. We are within that plan even though we have had some unexpected delays and made some changes due to new opportunities.
I will reiterate our three-year plan:
YEAR ONE
Reconstruction of ADGI into GTEL - accomplished
Substantial increased revenues and profits - accomplished
From the best previous financial year of $ 3 million in revenues and a $ 1.2 million loss to $ 12 million in a revenue run rate for 2003 and with substantial profits.
Projections and goals set and accomplished
YEAR TWO
Our goals are not to compete in highly competitive markets but to use our knowledge, opportunities and international contacts to deploy telecom and especially non-telecom products in high tech methods in markets and situations with high potential margins. With deregulation, there are fertile grounds and markets to use technology to reach billions of people and to offer a range of services such as international calling, credit cards, debit cards, video services, data and last mile solutions. To deploy these services and products takes a substantial investment and funding. This is our current phase and with funding secured, we can accelerate our projects and launch new programs, which will propel the company to another level.
I’m sure you have seen many companies focus on termination traffic, have large and increasing revenues but with steadily shrinking margins and losses. We are not in the business of intentionally losing money.
Our goals for year two include securing adequate funding and setting the stage to move to another exchange.
YEAR THREE
This is the year “it all comes together” – the stock, company structure and market support. This is by no means to say that we will not pay attention to these issues before year three. We do not want to have a false start and want to make sure the company and its projects, ventures, management, partners, support personnel and needed consultants are all in place as we want to be assured of continuing an upward climb with the proper momentum for sustained investor confidence.
Our long term loyal shareholders and management have been very patient. Our management team has either received minimum and some even no cash compensation, as we all are into this endeavor for the equity appreciation. I believe we all realize that good things, especially in these times, do not happen quickly and without hard work, long hours and perseverance.
If you call the office and do not get an immediate response for me or others please realize we are very busy and working for our mutual good and best interests plus several of our management team have an increased travel schedule over the next few months.
Please feel free to forward any questions or comments to shareholder@globetel.net. Subject to the disclosure rules under which GTEL operates as a public entity, we will post questions and answers on the GTEL web site shareholder’s page. This is an elective service of the company and we will not answers questions that will violate disclosure rules or questions or that are in the realm of the company’s proprietary information.
We at GTEL are excited, encouraged and look forward to the coming days.
Thank You
Sincerely,
Timothy M. Huff

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Overview
GlobeTel Communications Corp. ("GlobeTel") was organized in July 2002 under the laws of the State of Delaware. Upon its incorporation, GlobeTel was a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Diversified Group, Inc. (ADGI). ADGI was organized January 16, 1979, under the laws of the State of Nevada. ADGI had two other wholly-owned subsidiaries, Global Transmedia Communications Corporation (Global), a Delaware corporation, and NCI Telecom, Inc. (NCI), a Missouri corporation.
On July 1, 2002, both Global and NCI were merged into ADGI. On July 24, 2002, ADGI stockholders approved a plan of reincorporation for the exchange of all outstanding shares of ADGI for an equal number of shares of GlobeTel. Subsequently, ADGI was merged into GlobeTel, which is now conducting the business formerly conducted by ADGI and its subsidiaries, and all references to ADGI in these financial statements now apply to GlobeTel interchangeably.
In July 2002, pursuant to the reincorporation, we authorized the issuance of up to 1,500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.00001 per share and up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.001 per share.
Forward-Looking Statements; Market Data; Risk Factors
Forward-Looking Statements: This Form 10-QSB and other statements issued or made from time to time by GlobeTel and ADGI contain statements which may constitute "Forward-Looking Statements" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, 15 U.S.C.A. Sections 77Z-2 and 78U-5 (SUPP. 1996). Those statements include statements regarding our intent, belief or current expectations, our officers and directors as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our plans, objectives, expectations, intentions and assumptions and other statements that are not historical facts. Words like "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "plan", "believe", "seek", "estimate" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.
This quarterly report contains certain estimates and plans related to the telecommunications industry. The estimates and plans assume that certain events, trends and activities will occur, of which there can be no assurance. In particular, we do not know what level of growth to expect in the telecommunications industry, and particularly in the Voice over Internet Protocols markets.
The majority of our revenues are dependent on the Brazil and Mexico networks and our ability to achieve revenues from additional networks, including, networks in the Philippines, Venezuela, Colombia and other countries we have identified as our potential market. In addition, our shares in IPW represent the majority of our assets. Our ownership position in IPW totals 86 million shares of their common stock, valued at $5,901,500. We have 16 million shares held by us, and 70 million shares held on our behalf by Charterhouse Investment. The IPW shares are not currently tradable. Based on information provided to us, we believe the stock will become tradable and that the value of the shares is fully realizable. However, in the event that the stock does not become tradable, the share value may materially affect our asset value in the future.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations - Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002
Revenues. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2003, our gross sales were $2,995,422, representing an increase of 42% over the same period in the prior year when its gross sales were $2,101,425. This increase is primarily attributable to the growth of our operations in Mexico and Brazil. Our two main customers were the source of over 91% of all revenues. Our Mexico network generated $1,992,802 (or 66% of gross sales) from one customer and our Brazil network generated $752,193 (or 25% of gross sales) from another customer.
For the three months ended June 30, 2003, we had no income from International sales, compared to the same period in 2002 when we had international sales representing 97% of total sales, including $67,380 or 3% related to the Brazil network and $1,968,575 or 94% related to the network sales and services to related parties (Charterhouse) domiciled outside of the United States.
Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales consists primarily of the costs of depreciation of telecommunications equipment, technical services, rents and the wholesale cost of buying bandwidth purchased by us for resale. We had cost of sales of $2,126,394 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $1,071,271 for the same period in 2002. We expect cost of sales to increase in future periods only to the extent that our sales volume increases.
Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses consist primarily of payroll and related taxes, expenses for executive and administrative personnel, facilities expenses, professional and consulting service expenses, travel and other general corporate expenses. Our operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $496,584 compared to $846,228 for the same period in 2002. The decrease in expenses was predominantly caused by the reduced consulting costs we incurred during the current period.
Our operating expenses are expected to further decrease as a percentage of revenue in future periods because our existing operating infrastructure will allow increases in revenues without having to incrementally add operating expenses. Further, we reduced our payroll as of June 30, 2003, as we terminated the services of our employees in the St. Louis office. However, our expenses may increase in absolute dollars as we continue to expand our network termination locations worldwide and incur additional costs related to the growth of our business and being a public company.
Income from Operations. We had an income from operations of $372,478 during the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to an income of $183,926 during the same period in 2002. The gross margin for the three month period ended June 30, 2003 was 12% compared to 49% for same period in 2002. The difference in the margins is mainly attributable to extraordinary margins from the construction of networks in the prior year.
Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) consists of interest expense on our borrowings and interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents and receivables from related parties. We recorded interest income of $32 during the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared $491 during the same period in 2002. During the three months ended June 30, 2002, we recorded a loss of $43,488 attributable to the forgiveness of accrued interest receivable. We did not incur any such loss in 2003.
In June 2003, we recorded a gain of $34,365 in connection with the closing operations of our St. Louis, Missouri office after all accounting adjustments were made. Interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2003, was $40,598 compared to $10,031 during the same period in the prior year. Interest expense increased due to increases in notes and loans payable.
Net Income. Our net income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $366,277 compared to $130,898 during the same period in 2002. The increase in net income was mainly attributable to our increased sales in Mexico and Brazil, with sustained margin and overall reduced monthly operating expenses.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations - Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002
Revenues. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, we had gross sales of $6,093,111, compared to gross sales of $4,425,265 during the same period in 2002. The increase of 37% is primarily attributable to the growth of our sales from our Mexico and Brazil networks. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, our two main customers generated $5,393,232 in gross sales or 88% of all sales. Our Mexico network customer generated sales of $3,862,608 or 63% of all sales, while our Brazil network customer generated sales of $1,530,624 or 25% of total sales.
For the six months ended June 30, 2003, we had no income from international sales, compared to the same period in 2002 when we had international sales representing 48% of total sales, including $159,460 or 4% related to the Brazil network and $1,968,575 or 44% related to the network sales and services to related parties (Charterhouse) domiciled outside of the United States.
Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales consists primarily of the costs of depreciation of telecommunications equipment, technical services, rents and the wholesale cost of buying bandwidth purchased by us for resale. We had cost of sales of $4,247,843 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compare to $2,237,434 for the same period in 2002. We expect cost of sales to increase in future periods only to the extent that our sales volume increases.
Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses consist primarily of payroll and related taxes, expenses for executive and administrative personnel, facilities expenses, professional and consulting service expenses, travel and other general corporate expenses. Our operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $1,026,238 compared to $1,472,213 for the same period in 2002. The decrease of approximately 30% was predominantly due to a decrease in consulting costs and overall reduction in monthly operating costs.
Our operating expenses are expected to further decrease as a percentage of revenue in future periods because our existing operating infrastructure will allow increases in revenues without having to incrementally add operating expenses. Further, we reduced our payroll as of June 30, 2003, as we terminated the services of our employees in the St. Louis office. However, our expenses may increase in absolute dollars as we continue to expand our network termination locations worldwide and incur additional costs related to the growth of our business and being a public company.
Income from Operations. We had an income from operations of $819,029 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $715,618 for the same period in 2002. The income from operations is mainly attributable to the increased sales, sustained margin and reduced operating expenses. Our gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was 13%, compared to 49% for the same period in 2002. The difference in the margins is mainly attributable to extraordinary margins from the construction of networks in the prior year.
Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) consists of interest expense on our borrowings and interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents and receivables from related parties. We recorded interest income of $141 during the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $5,634 during the same period in the prior year. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, we recorded a loss of $43,488 attributable to the forgiveness of accrued interest receivable. We did not incur any such loss in 2003.
In June 2003, we recorded a gain of $34,365 in connection with the closing operations of our St. Louis, Missouri office after all accounting adjustments were made. Interest expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2003, were $76,186 compared to $13,496 during the same period in the prior year. Interest expense increased due to increases in notes and loans payable.
Net Income. Our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $777,350 compared to $664,268 during the same period in 2002. The increase in net income was mainly attributable to our increased sales in Mexico and Brazil, with sustained margin and overall reduced monthly operating expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.
As of June 30, 2003, we had $56,957 of cash and cash equivalents compared to $201,631 at December 31, 2002 and $12,270 as of June 30, 2002. We had accounts receivable of $3,480,243 on June 30, 2003, compared to $1,747,819 on December 31, 2002 and $574,517 on June 30, 2002. At June 30, 2003, six customers accounted for all of our accounts receivable compared to June 30, 2002, when five customers accounted for all of our accounts receivable. We believe that all of our accounts receivable are collectible. We had non-readily marketable, available-for-sale equity securities of $1,600,000 at June 30, 2003 which were the same amounts reported as of December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2002.
As of June 30, 2003, our current assets were $5,137,200 compared to $3,549,450 as of December 31, 2002 and $2,186,787 as of June 30, 2002. The increase in current assets was primarily as a result of increase in our accounts receivable from customers. We had working capital of $342,516 as of June 30, 2003 which is a significant increase from prior periods, when we had a negative working capital of $581,565 at December 31, 2002.
As of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, we had non-readily marketable, available for sale equity securities due from related party - Charterhouse, totaling $4,301,500 compared to $1,850,750 as of June 30, 2002. This amount represents 70 million shares of IPW restricted stock valued at $.06145 per share, held by Charterhouse on our behalf.
Our total assets as of June 30, 2003 were $10,082,109, compared to $8,344,884 at December 31, 2002, and $4,488,282 at June 30, 2002. The increase in total assets is primarily attributable to the increase in accounts receivable and property and equipment.
Our total current liabilities as of June 30, 2003 were $4,794,684, compared to $4,131,015 at December 31, 2002 and $1,714,238 at June 30, 2002. The increase was primarily due to increases in accounts payable, notes payable and accrued officers' salaries. The increase in accounts payable was attributable to the company's increase in cost of sales related to the Mexico and Brazil networks. The notes payable consisted of Convertible Promissory Notes and as of the date of this filing, we are in the process of eliminating these debts by converting the loan into equity. All officers of the company agreed to accrue salaries in order to enable the company to continue operating.
Our cash used in operating activities was $725,980 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $256,882 during the same period in the prior year. Our net cash used in investing activities was $215,515 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $235,188 provided by investing activities for the same period in the prior year. Cash provided by financing activities was $796,822 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $1,731 for the same period in the prior year.
We have recently begun distribution of our new product called "The Magic Money Card(R)." The Magic Money Card(R), in addition to being a prepaid calling card, is also a debit card/stored value card offering services that will include prepaid calling and added financial services such as domestic and foreign money remittances that will allow the user to shop in places that accept MasterCard and Maestro Debit/Credit Cards. Our associate in this venture is a company called Grupo Ingedigit, a certified MasterCard services provider, through its subsidiary in the U.S., AmericasCom International, Inc. As part of the agreement, we will be connecting our network with Grupo Ingedigit's network, valued at over $5 million and in return, the group will be able to tap into our current market, starting with the Mexico and Brazil markets. We have been negotiating with several companies who want to avail of this service, and we believe that we will be able to generate considerable revenues from this product once we have fully setup with all our networks. We have receivables from our Mexico and Brazil customers which we are allowing them to utilize to help set up the Magic Money Card(R) program in their respective countries. We expect that our contributions to the rollout of the networks in Mexico and Brazil will not exceed $350,000.
If we are unable to realize funds from the assets, non-readily marketable, available-for-sale equity securities, and if we cannot bring the days of our accounts receivable below ninety days, We will not have capital resources or credit lines available that are sufficient to fund our operations and capital requirements as presently planned over the next twelve months. However, we are actively pursuing additional funds through the issuance of debt and equity instruments, and we believe sufficient capital resources will in fact be obtained to fund our operations and cash requirements over the next twelve months.

GTEL Provides Update on Financing and Other Debt Reduction Activities
Monday August 11, 12:59 pm ET
MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 11, 2003--GlobeTel Communications Corp. (OTCBB:GTEL - News) today announced that the company has been working with a financing group to obtain a financing facility for up to $5 million. The facility is being processed with several major European banks and will be a collateralized loan with interest rates of 5.5% per annum, payable over 5 years.
Timothy M. Huff, CEO of GTEL, stated that the initial $1.6 million dollar loan is presently being processed, and that preferred shares will serve as collateral for the loan. Mr. Huff pointed out that the preferred shares can only be converted upon default and that if, for any reason, the loan is not funded, the preferred shares will be cancelled.
Mr. Huff continues, "With favorable interest rates and payment terms, this is an extremely attractive financing opportunity being made available to the company. However, just like all other financing vehicles, everything is subject to change until the process is completed and the funding is in the Company's hands. We advise everyone not to make any decision based on this information until we have formally completed the transaction, upon which another announcement will be made. We have also explored other financing avenues in order to be able to accelerate projects and bring other opportunities on line. Some of these are in various phases of due diligence by both parties."
The company also announced that its officers have agreed to accept stock considerations as payment of their accrued salaries for previous years. This will result in a reduction of over $700,000 in accrued officers' salaries and enhancement of the company's financial landscape, placing the company in a more attractive position to obtain future financing.
Mr. Huff states, "Once again, management has demonstrated its commitment to our agreed-upon goals and future success in making personal sacrifices such as reduced salaries and now the conversion of personal equity in order to reduce corporate liabilities."
Certain statements in this release constitute forward-looking statements or statements which may be deemed or construed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Placement Act of 1995. The words "forecast", "project", "intend", "expect", "should", "would", and similar expressions and all statements, which are not historical facts, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause the Company's actual results, performance (finance or operating) or achievements to differ from future results, performance (financing and operating) or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The above are more fully discussed in the Company's SEC filings.

GlobeTel Announces the Reduction of Debt and Outstanding Shares
Business Wire - July 31, 2003 08:56
MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 31, 2003--GlobeTel Communications Corp. (OTCBB:GTEL), today announced that it has completed negotiations with all the note holders that were represented in the SB-2 to retire the debt. One additional note that was not part of the SB-2 filing was also retired. This represents a debt retirement of $625,000. This will result in the retiring back into treasury of approximately 48 million plus shares of GTEL common stock held in escrow for collateral underpinning these notes. This reduces the outstanding shares issued in GTEL by approximately 8 percent of the outstanding shares.
Tim Huff, CEO of GTEL, stated: "We are reducing the debt of GTEL while bringing in capital and new channels of distribution. Our financial picture is coming into focus and this will fuel the growth of GTEL. It is a good day when you can reduce your debt, retire shares and increase your cash flow."

Gary,
You must understand that the people asking these questions don't want
the truth; they want to mislead and to confuse. But one more time, I
purchased the shares with my own money. It was not for compensations
for salary or bonuses or anything that GTEL owed me. I wrote a check,
sent money from my personnel account, gave up dollars that I held in a
US Bank, I hope you get the point, it was MY MONEY. I hope this is
clear now. Any shares that a director buys automatically become
restricted stock. If I go on the market today and buy 100 shares of
GTEL, since I am a director, those shares can't be sold for one year.
The one million shares I sold was from shares that I have held for over
two years and came from a completing different broker and account.
Thanks,
Tim[b/]

Gary,
The card is available in Mexico, Germany, Venezuela, Brazil. In the US
we are securing a US Bank to process the MasterCard transactions. You
need a BIN (Bank Identification Number) which is four of the 16 digits
on the credit/debit card. This number routes the money to the regional
bank for clearing of the transaction. We have a bank that has agreed
but we are working on securing a larger bank for convince. We hope to
have the card operational here in the US in the next few months.

Morning Tim and all,
With all the problems that RB has had of late I set up a new GTEL board
at
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=1871
I-Hub....for now a back up site but maybe more than that in the future.
BTW, do you expect to have some details on GTEL's web site soon
regarding the "Magic Money Card"? Also, will that card be available for
purchase
on the site? Would like to post on message boards as I have had e-mails
asking
about the card....thanks....gary
