Again: Jane. FYI: This was in June of this year. == A Message from Jimmy Chin, CEO = The past month—since my last Digitcom Investor News letter—has been a good one for Digitcom. We were introduced to Siegfried Lietzmann, Managing Director of Lietzmann & Partner of Potsdam, Germany. He was invaluable in organizing our plans for a European presence and turning them into a proposal for financing that is available for “projects of economy-related infrastructure” in Brandenburg. The German government is targeting investment in the new federal states of the former East Germany. Their intention is to increase employment and modernize infrastructure by providing incentive funding for new or expanding enterprises. The financial supports come from both governmental and private sources on very favorable terms. Lietzmann & Partner has been able to secure preliminary approval of Digitcom's $25 Million (US) proposed data network and switch facility in Potsdam. While there are many steps to be taken yet, we're very encouraged by the prospect of locating our VoIP/Network point-of-presence in the Berlin area and extending data network infrastructure throughout the “new states”. This could develop into an important gateway for the Digitcom Network in Germany and to Russia in the near-term, and eventually, the rest of Europe. Also, my trip to the Middle East this month resulted in our association with WKG, United Arab Emirates. Digitcom will soon open an office in Abu Dhabi which will serve as the Digitcom/WKG joint venture company's regional headquarters. Both our planned international long distance telephony and data network services for the region will be co-ordinated from there. Discussions I had there, Saudi Arabia, and in Egypt lead me to be optimistic about Digitcom's future in the region. This month has seen some favorable major-media attention to the “online” followers of the Company's stock, and I'd like to thank Larry and Evan of The Launching Pad, and Dr. Byron Glenn for planting the seeds that grew into a WSJ-IE article. I'm aware that the past month has also seen some negative rumor-mongering among the online investor community. It's my belief that doing what we're doing, and building value in the Company will be the most effective response Digitcom can make to innuendo and rumor. Read on, and get the flavor of how we're doing.  Jimmy Chin, CEO

And it went on to say this: == Market Listing Update = The Company completed its drafting of a form 10-SB filing by the last week of May. This was a “due-date” that Roger Templeton, our Corporate Communications VP targeted in his online “chat” of May 13th in full confidence that the Company's legal review and the coding for electronic submission would follow in a few day's time. He was wrong, and has some comments regarding the matter below. Because there is substantial interest in the process, we'll take this opportunity to bring you up to date. The filing is currently under review by the Company's counsel, Cohen, Brame & Smith. They are familiar with Digitcom, having previously worked with the Company, and are devoted to making our filing as strong as possible. To that end, they have returned their own comments and suggestions, and with the usual give-and-take, these are being incorporated in a revised draft. Most significantly, in terms of the time of submission, is their suggestion that the Company file after 2nd Quarter ‘98 financial results are compiled and can be made part of the filing. There are two principal reasons that Management agrees that holding off to include 2nd Quarter results is the right course to take. First, filing within days of the end of the quarter would undoubtedly result in the Commission—days or weeks into their review—asking for the most recent Quarter's financial results, putting their review on hold until they are provided. Therefore, no time would be saved by filing early and amending it later. The second reason is more technical, but the consensus between Management and our Securities counsel is that the “Management's Discussion and Analysis” (MD&A) will be strengthened with the satisfaction of certain “Notes receivable” due at the end of the 2nd Quarter. With this done, we expect the usual Q&A exchange to be less than it would otherwise be. Cohen, Brame & Smith are handling our filing with all the dispatch that prudence allows. They have much of the material already electronically coded and on file, so there should be no delay once the data is complete. Digitcom is looking forward to moving onto fully-reporting status as quickly as commonsense business judgment dictates. == Investors in the News = The Company's vibrant community of online investors caught the attention of The Wall Street Journal Interactive Edition in their June 9, 1998 edition. Under the headline, “Digitcom Caters to Its Fans On Internet Message Boards,” reporter Carrie Lee took a look at the phenomenon in the WSJ-IE “Money & Investing” section. She noted the nearly 20,000 postings have been made since February to message boards on the Silicon Investor Web site and on Yahoo! Her archived article can be found at <http://interactive.wsj.com/> (paid subscription is required). == A Note About Investor Relations = Liberty Capital Group, Inc. no longer represents Digitcom Interactive Video Network. Liberty provided valuable and professional Investor Relations services to Digitcom through the end of May of this year. We thank them for their efforts and wish them the best in their future endeavors. Inquiries may still be directed to WorldVision Financial at (888) 345 6060, toll free, or through their Web site at <http://www.wvfg.com>. == A Personal Message from Roger Templeton = I learned a valuable lesson over these past few weeks: “Don't promise a future you don't control.” Apart from the obviousness of that lesson, I've learned just how important the expectations produced by my words are to the smooth functioning of our organization and to the good faith of our stockholders. In my “chat session” with interested investors on May 13th I predicted that Digitcom would be filing a form 10-SB by the first of June. In making that prediction I was making a couple of assumptions that, in hindsight, look more like a mixture of enthusiasm with a dash of hubris than a careful, professional judgment. As a result, an absolutely un-necessary injury to the trust with which those investors approach the Company may have occurred. For this, I take personal responsibility. And, I make my apology. While I may make another mistake again in my life, I will do my best to not make this one again.  Roger Templeton This edition of Digitcom Investor News will be available in a Web version that is exclusive to subscribers of Digitcom Investor News: <http://div-n.digitcom.com/html/newsletter_pages.html> The Small Print: This release of “Digitcom Investor News” includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
