1. Description of business and summary of significant accounting policies
Description of business - Promotional Containers Manufacturing, Inc.
(hereinafter referred to as the "PCMI") is a professional photo packaging
operation, specializing in wedding albums, baby albums and photo mounts
from its factory in Lexington, Kentucky.
History - Promotional Containers Manufacturing, Inc. was incorporated
under the laws of Nevada on January 24, 2003 with authorized common stock
of 75,000,000 with a par value of $0.001.
On December 10, 2003, the Company purchased the assets of Show Me Ink,
LLC, an entity owned by the Company's Chief Executive Officer and majority
stockholder in exchange for $450,000, which was contributed by the Chief
Executive Officer to the Company. In addition, the Company forgave debt
owed by Show Me Ink, LLC totaling $1,588,521.
On December 30, 2003, Telco Blue, Inc. ("TBLU") consummated an agreement
to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Promotional Containers
Manufacturing, Inc., in exchange for 28,700,000 shares of the Company's
common stock ("TBLU Transaction"). Prior to the TBLU Transaction, TBLU was
a non-operating public shell company with no operations, nominal assets
and 5,482,075 shares of common stock issued and outstanding; and
Promotional Containers Manufacturing, Inc was a professional photo
packaging operation, specializing in wedding albums, baby albums and photo
mounts from its factory in Lexington, Kentucky. The TBLU Transaction is
considered to be a capital transaction in substance, rather than a
business combination. Inasmuch, the TBLU Transaction is equivalent to the
issuance of stock by Promotional Containers Manufacturing, Inc. for the
net monetary assets of a non-operational public shell company (TBLU),
accompanied by a recapitalization. TBLU issued 28,700,000 shares of its
common stock for all of the issued and outstanding common stock of
Promotional Containers Manufacturing, Inc. The accounting for the TBLU
Transaction is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition,
except goodwill or other intangible assets will not be recorded.
Accordingly, these financial statements are the historical financial
statements of Promotional Containers Manufacturing, Inc. Promotional
Containers Manufacturing, Inc was incorporated on January 24, 2003.
Therefore, these financial statements reflect activities from January 24,
2003 (Date of Inception for Promotional Containers Manufacturing, Inc) and
forward.
Going concern - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and
the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The
Company is in the development stage, has no operating revenue and incurred
a net loss of approximately $175,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2004. The Company has an accumulated loss during the development stage of
approximately $2,321,000 and current liabilities exceed current assets by
approximately $963,000.
These conditions give rise to substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not
include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
reported asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities
that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a
going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent
upon its ability to obtain additional financing or sale of its common
stock as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability.
Definition of fiscal year - The Company's fiscal year end is December 31.

1. Description of business and summary of significant policies (continued)
Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Inventory - Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
principally determined by using the average cost method. Inventory
consists of raw materials as well as finished goods held for sale. The
Company's management monitors the inventory for excess and obsolete items
and makes necessary valuation adjustments when required.
Fixed assets - Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is primarily 3
to 5 years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as
incurred. Expenditures for property betterments and renewals are
capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset, cost
and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or
loss is reflected in other income (expense).
The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have
occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful lives of fixed
assets or whether the remaining balance of fixed assets should be
evaluated for possible impairment. The Company uses an estimate of the
related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the fixed
assets in measuring their recoverability.
Revenue and expense recognition - Revenues are recognized upon shipment of
products to customers. Costs and expenses are recognized during the period
in which they are incurred
Shipping and handling costs - The Company accounts for certain shipping
and handling costs related to the acquisition of goods from its vendors as
cost of revenue. Additionally, shipping and handling costs related to the
shipment of goods to its customers is classified as cost of revenue.
Advertising and marketing costs - The Company recognizes advertising
expenses in accordance with Statement of Position 93-7 "Reporting on
Advertising Costs." Accordingly, the Company expenses the costs of
producing advertisements at the time production occurs, and expenses the
costs of communicating advertisements in the period in which the
advertising space or airtime is used. There was no advertising expenses
incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
Income taxes - The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, which requires
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective
tax bases and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to
taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period
that includes the enactment date.
As of March 31, 2004, the Company has available net operating loss
carryforwards that will expire in various periods through 2024. Such
losses may not be fully deductible due to the significant amounts of
non-cash service costs and the change in ownership rules under Section 382
of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company has established a valuation
allowance for the full tax benefit of the operating loss carryovers due to
the uncertainty regarding realization.
Comprehensive income (loss) - The Company has no components of other
comprehensive income. Accordingly, net loss equals comprehensive loss for
all periods.

1. Description of business and summary of significant policies (continued)
Stock-based compensation - The Company applies Accounting Principles Board
("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
Related Interpretations, in accounting for stock options issued to
employees. Under APB No. 25, employee compensation cost is recognized when
estimated fair value of the underlying stock on date of the grant exceeds
exercise price of the stock option. For stock options and warrants issued
to non-employees, the Company applies Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which
requires the recognition of compensation cost based upon the fair value of
stock options at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model.
The Company issued no stock, neither granted warrants nor options, to
employees for compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and
Disclosure. SFAS No. 148 amends the transition and disclosure provisions
of SFAS No. 123. The Company is currently evaluating SFAS No. 148 to
determine if it will adopt SFAS No. 123 to account for employee stock
options using the fair value method and, if so, when to begin transition
to that method.
Fair value of financial instruments - The carrying amounts and estimated
fair values of the Company's financial instruments approximate their fair
value due to the short-term nature.
Earnings (loss) per common share - Basic earnings (loss) per share
excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible
securities. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the
weighted-average number of outstanding common shares during the applicable
period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted
average number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding
during the period. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the
computation if their effect is antidilutive.
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98
(SAB 98). Under the provisions of SFAS 128 and SAB 98, basic net loss per
share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common
stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net
loss per share gives effect to common stock equivalents, however,
potential common shares are excluded if their effect is antidilutive. For
the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, options and warrants to
purchase 3,168,100 and 2,752,400 shares of common stock, respectively,
were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because
their effect would be antidilutive.
New accounting pronouncements - Financial Accounting Standards Board
Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an
interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated
Financial Statements, addresses consolidation by business enterprises of
variable interest entities. It is effective immediately for variable
interest entities created after January 31, 2003. It applies in the first
fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable
interest entities acquired before February 1, 2003. The impact of adoption
of this statement is not expected to be significant.
SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities, amends and clarifies accounting for derivative
instruments under SFAS No. 133. It is effective for contracts entered into
after June 30, 2003. The impact of adoption of this statement is not
expected to be significant.
SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with
Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, establishes standards for
how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with
characteristics of both liability and equity. It requires that an issuer
classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability
(or an asset in some circumstances). This statement is effective for
financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and
otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period
beginning after June 15, 2003. The impact of adoption of this statement is
not expected to be significant.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
telcoBlue's financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this
Form 10-QSB.
Except for the historical information contained herein, the discussion in this
Form 10-QSB as amended contains certain forward looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of telcoBlue's plans,
objectives, expectations and intentions. The cautionary statements made in this
Form 10-QSB should be read as being applicable to all related forward statements
wherever they appear in this Form 10-QSB. telcoBlue's actual results could
differ materially from those discussed here.
Nature of Business. telcoBlue, Inc., formerly Better Call Home, Inc. ("BCH"), a
development stage company, was formed in Nevada on August 2, 2002, to operate an
Internet based long distance telephony network using state of the art Voice over
Internet Protocol.
On August 29, 2002, BCH entered into a reorganization with Wave Power.net, Inc.,
an inactive public company, whereby Wave Power acquired all of the issued and
outstanding shares of BCH's common stock by issuing to BCH's shareholders, pro
rata, 16,000,000 shares of Wave Power common stock. At that time, Wave Power had
14,000,000 shares outstanding. The combined entity changed its name to
telcoBlue, Inc. on August 29, 2002.
On January 22, 2004, telcoblue, Inc. acquired all the issued and outstanding
stock of Promotional Containers Manufacturing, Inc. ("PCM"), a private Nevada
company in exchange for 28,700,000 shares of telcoBlue, Inc. ("TELCO") common
stock through a tax-free stock exchange, the terms and conditions set forth in
an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization ("Agreement and Reorganization"). The
company presently trades on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board stock exchange
under the symbol, "TBLU".
The principal asset in TELCO is Gross-Medick-Barrows ("GMB"). GMB is a well
respected professional photo packaging company that is a leader in its industry.
Our products are unique, and because most of them are handcrafted, professional
photographers recognize that our products add value and quality to their work.
The company's founder, Mr. Oliver Gross, was born in Takay, Hungary, in 1875 and
came to the United States in 1889. In 1898 he was joined by two brothers in a
company called, "The Western Photo and View Company". Touring the West and
South, they would arrive into town, pitch a tent, and begin to photograph (with
flash powder) the people, stores, and plants of the community. One of their
stops was Toledo, Ohio, where they decided to stay. There, they formed the basis
of Gross Manufacturing Corporation. The original business was photographic
supply items. One item, which they purchased, from an eastern film, was card
mounts, which were used to serve as a support for photographers' pictures.
Because the supply became irregular, Mr. Gross bought some presses and started
to make his own card mounts. This card mount business developed into more
elaborate presentations now used by professional photographers worldwide.
11
In 1930, his son, Mr. Robert Gross, joined the company and through the years,
ran the Photomount Manufacturing, as well as a large retail and supply business
from 1948 to 1970.
In 1973 the "Nova" frame was introduced, which put the company into the plastic
frame business.
The Company moved from Toledo, Ohio in 1980 to the City of El Paso, Texas,
located at 6001 Threadgill Ave. This allowed the Company to remain cost
competitive through reduced labor costs.
Although we are not an industrial giant, we are one of two companies in the
United States that do manufacture paper packaging products which are an
important part of the professional photographers' business.
In the late 1980's, Gross purchased Medick-Barrow's, one of its competitors.
In the spring of 2003, PCM acquired GMB's assets and began to update its systems
and manufacturing. These changes allows us to provide digital as well as
standard products while maintaining our quality.
With increase in market share and customer demands, the company was engaged in a
process to increase its production capabilities. In 1984 "G-m-b" was relocated
to the city of El Paso, Texas. The first tow manufacturing facilities were
located in Paisano Street. In order to provide customers with the highest
quality standards and lowest possible costs, the company decided to move into
the only one facility. The company then moved to its current location, which is
located in the west part of El Paso, Texas.
The facility comprises 60,480 sq. ft. The total area is divided into offices,
manufacturing area, shipping and receiving, warehouse, work in progress area,
and cafeteria. The total number of employees for G-m-b is 40 including white
collar and blue collar, working one shift from 7 in the morning to 3 in the
afternoon.
"G-m-b's" primary market is in the United States, but the distribution of its
products are scattered all around the country. The company suffered through
fiscal distress during the late 90's as a result of strategic/execution errors
upon expanding into a new market. It subsequently changed ownership in mid 2003,
although continued to struggle. In April of 2003 PCMI acquired the assets of the
former G-m-b and implement a 12-month turnaround. The company headquarters are
located in Lexington, Kentucky.
Brand Franchise - The old G-m-b is one of the most recognized names in the
portraiture industry. It has enjoyed a reputation of customer service, quality
and delivery by professional photographers countrywide. Its fundamental market
niche relates to high-quality, hand made products manufactured to exacting
needs. This sets it apart from the competition, which can only supply it's
products in large bulk quantities in standardized designs. We are currently
implementing a new business model to bring the organization into profitability.
This includes the introduction of state-of-the art manufacturing techniques and
fiscal disciplines. New Market Opportunities - The Company has received approval
from the NFL and Major League Baseball for various promotional and display
products. Other professional venues are under negotiations. These markets are
"Evergreen" which allow for incremental year over year revenue growth. The
Company defines its accessibility of markets into two categories that are listed
below.
12
A. Professional Sports-Baseball, Hockey, Soccer, Football,
Basketball, NASCAR, Lacrosse, etc.
B. Non-Professional Sports- includes Youth, College, High School and
Adult leagues for Baseball (Little league, Tee-ball and Softball),
Hockey, Soccer, Football, Basketball, etc. Also includes sports
camps and tournaments. The company has some presence in these
markets and plans to expand further.
C. Other- Corporate Hospitability (Luxury Suites), Corporate
Promotions, and Branding, Autograph market, theme parks and
International Sports.
Currently, the Company is unaware of any other companies in the market which can
provide quality, hand-made products at the quantities and price points
designated in the above markets.
3. New Products - The Company is planning the introduction of a new photo-mailer
product - which is a somewhat disruptive concept relative to the competition.
The photo-mailer has application in the target markets referenced above and
opens new venues aside from our traditional customer base. We are also
developing the introduction of a new line of exciting digital products along
with our standard formats. These products open new marketing channels and expand
untapped markets. These products provide a cost effective means for
personalization for individuals or small businesses. Digital, in particular, is
the venue of choice for non-professional baseball, soccer, basketball, football,
hockey, etc.
In the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company completed its web site. The
web site is being used as a manufacturing tool whereby our customers have the
ability to forward their request file to our site at www.gmbphotoalbums.com,

Item 3. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our
chief executive officer and chief financial officer, conducted an evaluation of
our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") Rules 13a-14(c)) within 90 days of the filing date
of this quarterly report on Form 10QSB (the "Evaluation Date"). Due to the lack
of cooperation by old management, certain transactions and agreements may exist
that current management is not aware of. These transactions and agreements could
have potential liability for telcoBlue. New management is seeking a court
injunction to seize and recover all records of telcoBlue. Based on their
evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have
concluded that, other than described above, as of the Evaluation Date, our
current disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that all
material information required to be filed in this quarterly report on Form
10-QSB has been made known to them in a timely fashion.
Changes in Internal Controls
Due to the lack of cooperation by old management, certain transactions
and agreements may exist that current management is not aware of. These
transactions and agreements could have potential liability for telcoBlue. New
management is seeking a court injunction to seize and recover all records of
telcoBlue. There have been no other significant changes (including corrective
actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our
internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these
controls subsequent to the Evaluation Date set forth above.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On February 11th, 2004, Creative Containers filed suit against Telco
Blue, Inc., in Cause No. 2004-631, in the 120th Judicial District Court in and
for El Paso County, Texas on sworn pleadings for unpaid invoices for goods
delivered. Telco Blue did not appear and wholly defaulted. Creative Containers
was awarded a judgment against Telco Blue on April 30th, 2004, in the amount of
$8,158.45, plus attorneys fees in the amount of $1,500.00. The judgment accrues
interest at the rate of 10% per annum. Creative Contains is currently seeking
post-judgment enforcement, to include a hearing for turnover relief. The next
hearing on the post-judgment enforcement is set for July 1st, 2004 before the
same 120th Judicial District Court.
On December 23rd, 2003, Philip Moseman filed suit against Mid-America,
GMB, Ltd., and Mid-America Photographics of Kansas, Inc., in the 327th Judicial
District Court, in and for El Paso County, Texas, seeking damages from alleged
breaches of employment agreements. Moseman later amended his suit to include
Telco Blue, Inc. as a party defendant. Telco Blue has filed a special appearance
challenging the jurisdiction of the court. A hearing on the special appearance
is set for July 7th, 2004. Should the special appearance be denied then Telco
Blue anticipates aggressively defending the suit. Moseman had originally been
hired by the two predecessor Mid-America employers and claims that his
employment agreement with Mid-America had carried over with his new employer,
Promotional Containers Manufacturing, Inc. (PCM). He claims that Telco Blue,
Inc., by merger, has stepped into the shoes of PCM and is thus liable.
