ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
        -----------------------

Introduction

         Win-Gate Equity Group, Inc. (the "Company/Win-Gate") is a Florida
corporation, organized on May 17, 1996, to seek and effect a merger, acquire the
assets or the capital stock of existing businesses or other similar business
combination (a "Business Combination"). The Company is a development stage
company and has not begun to operate.

         The office address of Win-Gate is 2808 N. Federal Highway, Fort
Lauderdale, Florida 33306. The telephone number is (954) 561-9766. The Company's
fiscal year end is December 31.

Background

         On October 10, 1998, the Company's Registration Statement on Form SB-2
became effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and an offering
(the "Blank Check Offering") commenced of 100,000 units (the "Units"). Each Unit
consisted of one (1) share of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share and ten
(10) Common Stock Purchase Warrants at a purchase price of $1.00 per Unit
through the Company's sole director and executive officer, Ms. Debra Janssen. No
commissions or underwriting fees were paid in connection with the Blank Check
Offering which is subject to Rule 419 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act").

         All of the Common Stock offered by the Company was sold pursuant to the
Company's prospectus. The gross offering proceeds to the Company were $64,000
and all proceeds, along with the Common Stock issued to investors in the Blank
Check Offering were deposited in an escrow account (the "Deposited Funds" and
"Deposited Securities," respectively) with Mellon United National of Miami (the
"Escrow Agent") which were held for the sole benefit of the purchasers of the
Units pursuant to the Blank Check Offering. Ms. Debra Janssen advanced all of
the expenses of the Offering and was not reimbursed for any of such expenses.
While held in the escrow account, the Units could not be traded or transferred.
The Deposited Funds and the Deposited Securities could not be released until an
acquisition meeting certain specified criteria has been made and a sufficient
number of investors reconfirmed their investment in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Rule 419 and promulgated by the Company.

Compliance with Rule 419

         Rule 419 requires that before the Deposited Funds and the Deposited
Securities can be released, the Company must first execute an agreement to
acquire an acquisition candidate meeting certain specified criteria. The
agreement must provide for the acquisition of a business or assets for which the
fair value of the business represents at least 80% of the maximum offering
proceeds received in the Blank Check Offering. On that basis, the fair value of
the business or assets to be


                                        3

<PAGE>



acquired had to have been at least $1,040,000. Once the acquisition agreement
meeting the above criteria had been executed and shareholders representing 90%
of the maximum proceeds received in the Blank Check Offering elected to
reconfirm their investment, the Company must successfully complete the mandated
reconfirmation offering, as discussed below, and consummate the acquisition.

         Pursuant to Rule 419, to the extent that any shareholder does not elect
to remain a shareholder in the Reconfirmation Offer, the Company must return the
entire portion of that shareholder's Deposited Funds. Unless 90% in interest of
the investors elected to remain shareholders of the Company, all shareholders
would be entitled to the return of their portion of the Deposited Funds in the
event that the Company elected to consummate the proposed transaction.
Additionally, Debra Janssen had agreed to absorb all expenses for those
shareholders who did not elect to remain shareholders so that any investor who
did not elect to reconfirm their investment would be entitled to the return of
their entire investment in the Blank Check Offering. Furthermore, in the event
an acquisition was not consummated within 18 months of the effective date of the
Registration Statement which became effective on October 10, 1998 (which
termination date would be April 10, 1999), the Deposited Funds were required to
be returned to all investors.

Reconfirmation Offering

         Within five business days after the effective date of the Company's
Post-Effective Amendment, the Company was to commence a reconfirmation offer.
The terms of the reconfirmation offer included the following conditions: (i) the
prospectus contained in the Post- Effective Amendment would be sent to each
investor whose securities were held in the escrow account within five business
days after the effective date of the Post-Effective Amendment; (ii) each
investor would have no fewer than 20 and no more than 45 business days from the
effective date of the Post-Effective Amendment to notify the Company in writing
that the investor elected to remain an investor; (iii) if the Company did not
receive written notification from any investor within 45 business days following
the effective date, the pro-rata portion of the Deposited Funds and any related
interest or dividends held in the escrow account on such investor's behalf would
be returned to the investor within five business days by first class mail or
other equally prompt means, but only if the proposed transaction were
consummated; (iv) the acquisition would be consummated only if a minimum number
of investors representing 90% of the maximum offering proceeds received in the
Blank Check Offering elected to reconfirm their investments; and (v) if a
consummated acquisition did not occur within 18 months from October 10, 1998,
the effective date of the Company's Blank Check Offering registration statement
(which would be April 10, 1999), the Deposited Funds held in the escrow account
would be returned to all investors on a pro-rata basis within five business days
by first class mail or other equally prompt means.

         The Company was not able to complete the offering on a timely basis,
and as a result, all of the funds were returned to the investors in the Rule 419
offering.

         The Company will continue with its original business plan which
consisted of efforts to seek and undertake a merger, acquire the assets or the
capital stock of existing businesses, effectuate joint


                                        4

<PAGE>

ventures or strategic alliances or otherwise complete a business combination
with independent companies or with entities or businesses affiliated with the
principal of the Company. Inasmuch as certain of the shares of Common Stock held
by shareholders of the Company are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 or are
currently freely tradeable as a result of having been acquired and held for in
excess of two years, the Company plans to seek inclusion of its Common Stock on
the OTC Bulletin Board.

         The Company is currently a reporting company under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. It is the Company's intention to maintain a current status with regard to
its obligation to file periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.

Competition

         The Company expects to encounter intense competition from other
entities having a business objective similar to that of the Company. Many of
these entities are well-established and have extensive experience in connection
with identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through
affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater financial, technical,
personnel and other resources than the Company and there can be no assurance
that the Company will have the ability to compete successfully. Inasmuch as the
Company may not have the ability to compete effectively with its competitors in
selecting a prospective Acquired Business, the Company may be compelled to
evaluate certain less attractive prospects. There can be no assurance that such
prospects will permit the Company to meet its stated business objective.

Employees

         As of the date hereof, Roman Fisher, the Company's sole officer,
devotes approximately 50% of his working time to the affairs of the Company.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
        -----------------------

         The Company currently maintains its executive business address on a
rent free basis at 2808 N. Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33306 from
PST Computer, Inc. The Company considers this space adequate for its current
operations.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
        ----------------------------------------------------------

General

         The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Florida on May
17, 1996 in order to seek and effect a merger, acquire the assets or the capital
stock of existing businesses or other similar business combination. The Company
has not been engaged in active operations since its organization and is in the
developmental stage. From inception of the Company through the fiscal year
ending December 31, 1998, management's primary emphasis has been on organizing
the Company, preparing and completing the Company's Registration Statement on
Form SB-2 for purposes of undertaking the Blank Check Offering and the
investigation of certain potential business opportunities. The Company was not
able to complete the reconfirmation offer on a timely basis and all funds were
returned to investors. The Company remained obligated to file periodic reports
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and will continue to seek to effect a
business combination.

Plan of Operation/Liquidity and Capital Resources

         During the period from the Company's inception through the date hereof,
the Company was principally engaged in organizational activities, completing the
aforementioned Registration Statement and investigation of certain potential
business opportunities. During 1998, the Company completed the public offering
of 64,000 Units pursuant to Rule 419 under the Securities Act of 1933. The
funds, including interest earned thereon, along with the Common Stock sold in
such offering, were held in escrow until the Company could receive shareholder
approval for a proposed acquisition. The Company's principal asset at December
31, 1998 was the $64,000 in restricted cash held in escrow as investor funds
until an acquisition could be consummated. Inasmuch as the acquisition could not
be consummated by April 10, 1999, the deposited funds were returned to
investors. As of December 31, 1998, the Company had total current liabilities of
$20,092.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
        ---------------------------------------------------------------
        FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
        --------------------

                  On May 28, 1999, Millward & Co., was replaced by London Witte
& Company, P.A. as the Company's independent auditors when that firm declined to
stand for re-election or appointment. Millward & Co.'s report of audit since
inception of the Company did not contain any adverse opinion, any disclaimer of
opinion, nor has any opinion been qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principles.

         During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and subsequent
interim periods preceding the change in independent auditors, there were not any
disagreements with Millward & Co. on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.

         London Witte & Company, P.A. was selected by management to replace
Millward & Co. as the Company's independent auditors as determined by its sole
director and executive officer.

         ROMAN FISHER

         Mr. Fisher has not participated in any previous Blind Pool or Blank
Check Offerings. Mr. Fisher expects to devote up to 50% of his available
business time for the search for a suitable acquisition candidate.

         All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders
and the election and qualification of their successors. Directors receive no
compensation for serving on the Board of

                                        7

<PAGE>


Directors other than reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred in attending
meetings. Officers are appointed by the Board of Directors and serve at the
discretion of the Board.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

         Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
Company's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten
percent of the outstanding Common Stock, to file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") initial reports of ownership on Form 3 and
reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock on Forms 4 or 5. Such persons
are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all such
reports they file.

         Based solely on its review of the copies of such reports furnished to
the Company or written representations that no other reports were required, the
Company believes that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its
officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied
with during the year ended December 31, 1998, except for Debra Janssen who
inadvertently is late in filing Form 3 for reporting initial beneficial
ownership of securities and is currently preparing such Form 3.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Stockholders of
Win-Gate Equity Group, Inc.



We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Win-Gate Equity Group, Inc. (a
development stage company) as of December 31, 1998 and the related statements of
income, retained earnings, and cash flows for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit. The financial statements of Win-Gate Equity Group, Inc. as of
December 31, 1997 and for the period from May 17, 1996 (date of inception)
through December 31, 1997 were audited by other auditors whose report dated
April 1,1998, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Win-Gate Equity Group, Inc. as
of December 31, 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ---------------------------------------------------

Nature of Activities

Win-Gate Equity Group, Inc. is a Florida corporation formed on May 17, 1996, to
seek and make one or more business combinations to the extent its limited
resources will allow. The Company is in the development stage and has no
operating history. The subsistence of the Company is dependent upon sufficient
proceeds being raised through financing or capital contributions to enable the
Company to make such a business combination, of which there is no assurance. Any
such proceeds may be insufficient to enable the Company to conduct potentially
profitable operations or otherwise to engage in any business endeavors,
acquisitions, or mergers.

Basis of Presentation

The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting
and accordingly reflects all receivables, payables, and other liabilities.

Fiscal Year

The Company's year-end is December 31.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the financial statements, the Company considers all unrestricted
highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to
be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates
market value.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences
between the financial statement and tax bases assets and liabilities using
enacted tax rates in effect for the year which differences are expected to
reverse.

The Company provides a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if, based
on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some or all
of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

                           WIN-GATE EQUITY GROUP, INC.
                          (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           December 31, 1998 and 1997



NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ---------------------------------------------------

Loss Per Share

In 1998, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No.
128, "Earnings Per Share," (SFAS 128). Under SFAS 128, basic net income (loss)
per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted income (loss) per common share reflect the maximum dilution that
would have resulted from the assumed exercise related to dilutive stock options
and is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of
common shares and all dilutive securities outstanding.

Financial Statement Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results
could differ from those estimates.


NOTE 2 - DEFERRED OFFERING COSTS
- --------------------------------

Deferred offering costs represent costs incurred pending completion of a
proposed public offering. Because the offering was refunded in 1999 (see note
10), these costs were expensed at the end of 1998 when it became unlikely that
any future benefit of these costs would be realized.


NOTE 3 - DEFERRED TAXES
- -----------------------

Under current tax law, all start up costs must be amortized over a period of not
less than 60 months starting with the month in which the business begins. As of
December 31, 1998 and 1997 the amount of start up costs were $26,592 and $238
respectfully. Since operations have not commenced as of December 31, 1998, the
start up costs are a non-amortizable asset for income tax reporting. Based on
the evidence available, the Company has provided a valuation allowance to offset
any deferred tax asset arising from the future tax benefits from the
amortization of its start up costs.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           December 31, 1998 and 1997


NOTE 4 - STOCKHOLDER LOAN
- -------------------------

During 1997 and 1998, the President and Chief Executive Officer for that time
period made advances to the Company to pay certain offering costs. Such amounts
are non-interest bearing and are payable on demand. In accordance with Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 107 "Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments,"(SFAS 107), market value is estimated at cost because of
the nature of the loan. The loan balances are $12,281 and $5,152 as of December
31, 1998 and 1997.


NOTE 5 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
- -----------------------------

Common Stock Offering Subject to Rescission

On April 7, 1998, the Company sold 64,000 units pursuant to a Blank Check
Offering (see note 8) at $1 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of Common
Stock and 10 Common Stock purchase warrants to purchase Common Stock at $1.20
per warrant exercisable over a 5 year period. The gross proceeds from the
offering was $64,000. All costs incurred with the blank check offering were
categorized as deferred offering costs in 1997 and subsequently expensed during
1998.

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of common stock having a
per share par value of $.001. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company has
issued 4,900,000 common shares to its shareholders in exchange for an aggregate
of $6,900. Each share of common stock entitles its owner to one vote. The common
shares carry no preemptive rights and are not redeemable. Cumulative voting is
not permitted.

Preferred Stock

The Company has authorized the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock
with a par value of $.001 per share, bearing such voting, dividend, conversion,
liquidation and other rights and preferences as the Board of Directors may
determine. There has been no issuance of preferred stock.

                           December 31, 1998 and 1997



NOTE 6 - STOCK OPTION PLAN
- --------------------------

On June 25, 1996, the Board of Directors and shareholders approved a stock
option plan entitled the "1996 Stock Option Plan" (the "plan"). Under the plan,
the Company has reserved an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock for
issuance pursuant to options granted under the plan. The Options Committee of
the Board of Directors of the Company administers the plan including, without
limitation, the selection of the persons who will be granted options under the
plan, the type of options to be granted, and the number of shares subject to
each plan option and plan option price.

Options granted under the plan may either be options qualifying as incentive
stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1996, as amended
or non-qualified options. In addition, the plan also allows for the inclusion of
a reload option provision which permits an eligible person to pay the exercise
price of the plan option with shares of common stock owned by the eligible
person and receive a new plan option to purchase additional shares of common
stock in the same quantity as the shares tendered. Any incentive option granted
under the plan must provide for an exercise price of not less than 100% of the
fair market value of the underlying shares on the day of such grant. However,
the exercise price of any incentive option granted to an eligible employee
owning more than 10% of the Company's common stock must be at least 110% of such
fair market value as determined on the date of the grant. The term of each plan
option and the manner in which it may be exercised is determined by the Board of
Directors or the Option Committee provided that no plan option may be
exercisable more than 10 years after the date of its grant, and in the case of
an incentive option granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of the
Company's common stock, no more than five years after the date of the grant.

No plan options have been granted as of December 31, 1998.

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS
- --------------------

During 1998, the Company conducted its common stock offering subject to the
Securities and Exchange Commission's Rule 419 of Regulation C under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Rule 419 generally requires that the
securities to be issued and the funds received in a blank check offering be
deposited and held in an escrow account until an acquisition meeting specified
criteria is completed (See Note 10). Before the acquisition can be completed and
before the funds and securities can be released, the blank check company is
required to update the registration with a Post-Effective Amendment. After the
effective date of any such Post-Effective Amendment, the Company is required to
furnish investors with the prospectus produced thereby containing information,
including audited financial statements, regarding the proposed acquisition
candidate and its business. According to the rule, the investors must have no
fewer than 20 and no more than 45 days from the effective date of the
Post-Effective Amendment to decide to remain as investors or require the return
of their investment funds. Any investors that do not make a decision within the
45 day period are to automatically receive a return of their investment funds.
