INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT




To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Return Assured Incorporated


We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Return Assured
Incorporated and Subsidiaries as of November 30, 2000, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for
the three-month period then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION, ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and in
         the opinion of management reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal
         recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation in
         accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and with the
         instructions to Form 10-QSB. Operating results for the three month
         period ended November 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
         results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2001.
         For further information refer to the annual financial statements of
         Return Assured Incorporated and Hertz Technology Group Inc. included in
         the 10-KSB report previously filed.

         Return Assured Incorporated (the "Company") was incorporated under the
         laws of the State of Nevada on June 10, 1999. The Company was deemed to
         be in the development stage as more fully defined in Statement No. 7 of

         guarantee customers who order products through the web sites of
         merchant members will get the product and that the merchant member will
         honour its stated return policies.

         became the accounting parent company and the legal subsidiary of Hertz
         Technology Group Inc. ("Hertz") Hertz subsequently was renamed Return

         (Nevada), Hertz Computer Corporation, Hergo Ergonomic Support Systems

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this
Quarterly Report. Certain statements in this Quarterly Report, which are not
statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. See "Special Note
Regarding Forward-Looking Information" on Page 3.


General
The Merger

We recently closed the business combination of our Return Assured business and
Hertz Technology Group business. On October 13, 2000 Asure Acquisition Corp., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Hertz Technology Group, Inc., a Delaware Corporation,
was merged into Return Assured Incorporated, a Nevada Corporation. At the same
Hertz Technology Group changed its name to Return Assured Incorporated.

As a result of this merger Return Assured Incorporated (Nevada) became the
predecessor for accounting purposes. The Consolidated Financial Statements now
include the following companies, Return Assured Incorporated (Delaware), Hergo
Ergonomic Support Systems Inc., Return Assured Incorporated (Nevada), Hertz
Computer Corporation, Remote IT.com, Inc. and Edutec Computer Education
Institute, Inc.

Subsequent to the merger we operate in three areas, our financial services area
comprising the Return Assured Business of its "Web Seal of Approval" and related
services, the Hergo Group which is comprised of Hergo Ergonomic Support Systems
Inc. and the Technology Group comprised of Remote IT Inc. and Hertz Computer
Corporation and Edutec Computer Education Institute Inc. Hertz Computer
Corporation ceased manufacturing in the later part of Fiscal (August 31, 2000)
2000 and Edutec ceased active operations in December with the surrender of the
Varick Street Lease.

The financial statements only include the Hertz operations from October 13,
2000, the date of the merger, to November 30, 2000.

Plan of Operations

At the completion of the merger we also completed a financing in the amount of
$5,000,000 through the issuance of 5,000 convertible preferred shares. As a
result of the financing we expects that we will have sufficient cash resources
to fund all of our proposed operations for the next 12 months.

We have recently commenced our Return Assured operations and have not generated
any revenues since inception in June 1999 through August 31, 2000. Our Return
Assured operations have consisted of:

         o    determining the feasibility and potential market acceptance of our
              web seal service;
         o    developing the infrastructure to deliver and monitor our web seal
              service;
         o    structuring our cyber insurance policy with Lloyd's of London;
         o    pursuing our marketing strategy by forming strategic relationships
              with web portals;
         o    raising capital to finance our business plan; and
         o    assembling our management team.


<PAGE>


Most of our expenses through November 30, 2000 have been:

         o    $ 1,662,433 wages and salaries;
         o    $   685,022  in professional and consulting fees; and
         o    $   717,919 financing fees.

Of the approximately $ 4.7 million in aggregate net losses since inception,
these wages and fees are approximately $2.3 million. Of this $2.3 million,
approximately $1.5 million is attributed to wages and fees paid in our common
stock.

Liquidity And Capital Resources

o        In October 2000, we raised $5,000,000 from the sale of our Series A
         convertible preferred stock. After giving effect to the merger, the
         sale of our Series A preferred stock and the redemption of Eli Hertz'
         common stock, we had, as of November 30, 2000, approximately:

o        $ 4,087,493 in cash; and
o        $ 5,517,004 in working capital.

         A significant portion of our working capital will be used to launch our
web seal operations which we anticipate will start to generate cash flow. If
cash flow from operations is not sufficient to meet our operating expenses, we
may require additional funding over the next twelve months. Should this not
materialize on favorable terms, we may be forced to curtail our plans and
spending.

         We expect our capital expenditures will increase significantly in the
future as we make technological improvements to our system and technical
infrastructure. We anticipate that we will spend at least $250,000 on developing
automated business processes and tools to carry out our business plan and
streamline systems that have already been developed. Additionally, we will
continue to evaluate possible investments in complementary businesses, products
and technologies, and plan to conduct aggressive brand promotions.

         We believe that our current cash will be sufficient to meet our
anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least
the next twelve months. If cash generated from operations is insufficient to
satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or
debt securities or to obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity or
convertible debt securities could result in additional dilution to our
stockholders. If we issue debt securities, our fixed obligations will increase
and we may become subject to covenants that would restrict our operations. Such
financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at
all.

Our current expenditures amount to $150,000 to $200,000 per month in the
financial services division without considering major purchases or significant
expenditures.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On December 15, 2000, we entered into a Program Promotion Agreement with Plasma
Net Inc., the provider of FreeLotto.com. a free online sweepstakes. Under the
Agreement, PlasmaNet and Return Assured will create promotional programs
enhanced by FreeLotto's relationship with its approximate 12,000,000 registered
users. Under the programs, FreeLotto members that opt in , will have their
contact information forwarded to us in real time for the purpose of new
membership / database relationship management.

In exchange for the above-mentioned membership generation, we will at the end of
each calendar week, issue $6.00 worth of our common stock to PlasmaNet for each
new member referred by us for that week. We have delivered into escrow 1,400,000
shares of common stock. Of the 1,400,000 shares in escrow, 542,066 shares have
been delivered to PlasmaNet for the first 200,000 registrations, which shares
will be returned to us if the program fails to result in 200,000 registrations.

These securities were sold under the exemptions from registration provided by
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. Neither we nor any person acting on our
behalf offered or sold the securities by means of any form of general
solicitation or general advertising. PlasmaNet, Inc. represented in writing that
it acquired the securities for its own account. A legend was placed on the
certificates stating that the securities have not been registered under the
Securities Act and cannot be sold or otherwise transferred without an effective
registration or an applicable exemption.

The holder of our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock converted a portion of
such preferred stock. On November 11, 2000, it converted $50,000 worth of the
preferred stock for 50,000 shares of common stock. On January 17, 2001, it
converted $125,000 worth of the preferred stock for 529,661 shares of common
stock. These shares of common stock were delivered from escrow to the holder
upon conversion under the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2)
of the Securities Act. Of the $175,000 worth of preferred stock converted by the
holder, $13,252 was accrued dividends and the difference reduced the amount of
preferred stock by $161,748.
