ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

         On January 19, 2000, Omega Research, Inc. ("Omega") and
onlinetradinginc.com corp., a Florida corporation ("Online"), entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement") under
which Omega and Online are to be merged in a stock-for-stock transaction. The
parties to the Merger Agreement are Omega, Online, OnlineTrading.com Group,
Inc., a recently-formed Florida corporation that will be the holding company for
Omega and Online if the merger is completed ("Holding Company"), Omega
Acquisition Corporation, a recently-formed Florida corporation that is owned by
Holding Company ("Omega Merger Sub"), and Onlinetrading Acquisition Corporation,
a recently-formed Florida corporation that is owned by Holding Company ("Online
Merger Sub"). Assuming that the merger is completed, Omega Merger Sub will merge
into Omega, Online Merger Sub will merge into Online, and Omega and Online will
then be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Holding Company. Consummation of the merger
is contingent upon satisfying all broker-dealer regulatory requirements relating
to the merger, approval by the shareholders of Omega and of Online of the
merger, the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 filed by
Holding Company, and the listing of Holding Company shares on The Nasdaq
National Market.

         The audited financial statements of Online as of January 31, 2000 and
1999 and for each of the two years in the period ended January 31, 2000 are
filed herewith. In addition, the unaudited pro forma combined financial
statements as of December 31, 1999 filed herewith have been prepared to give
effect to, and assuming completion of, the contemplated merger between Omega and
Online on a pooling-of-interests basis.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To onlinetradinginc.com corp.:

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of
onlinetradinginc.com corp. (a Florida corporation, formerly doing business as
Online Trading, Inc.) as of January 31, 2000, and the related statements of
income, changes in stockholders' equity 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.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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 onlinetradinginc.com corp. as
of January 31, 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States.

                            JANUARY 31, 2000 AND 1999

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

                  Online Trading, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Florida
         on September 7, 1995 and operates as a registered securities
         broker/dealer under the rules of the National Association of Securities
         Dealers ("NASD"). In February 1999, OnlineTrading.com changed its name
         to onlinetradinginc.com corp. ("OnlineTrading.com"). OnlineTrading.com
         is headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida and has branch offices in
         Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Ohio.

                  OnlineTrading.com manages its customer accounts through Bear
         Stearns Securities Corp., and US Clearing Corporation (collectively,
         the "Clearing Firms") on a fully disclosed basis. The Clearing Firms
         provide services, handle OnlineTrading.com's customers' funds, hold
         securities, and remit monthly activity statements to the customers on
         behalf of OnlineTrading.com. The amount receivable from brokers and
         dealers relates to commissions earned by OnlineTrading.com for trades
         executed by the Clearing Firms on behalf of OnlineTrading.com.

                  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
         accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
         Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         MARKETABLE SECURITIES

                  Marketable securities are valued at market value and
         securities not readily marketable (if any) are valued at fair value as
         determined by the board of directors. The resulting difference between
         cost and market (or fair value) is included in the statements of
         income.

         PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

                  Furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded
         at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of those assets
         using the straight-line and accelerated methods. Expenditures for
         routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred.

         INTANGIBLE ASSET

                  The intangible asset is a result of the acquisition as
         described in Note 13, and is being amortized on a straight-line basis
         over five years.

         LONG-LIVED ASSETS

                  OnlineTrading.com reviews long-lived assets for impairment
         whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
         amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For the years ended January
         31, 2000 and 1999, there were no write-downs in value.

         SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

                  Proprietary securities transactions in regular-way trades are
         recorded on the trade date, as if they settled. Profit and loss arising
         from all securities transactions entered into for the account and risk
         of OnlineTrading.com are recorded on a trade date basis. Customers'
         securities transactions are reported on a settlement date basis to the
         customer with related commission income and expenses reported on a
         trade date basis.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

         COMMISSIONS

                  Commissions and related clearing expenses are recorded on a
         trade-date basis as securities transactions occur.

         ADVERTISING

                  The costs of advertising, promotion, and marketing programs
         are charged to operations in the year incurred. Such expense items
         totaled $103,000 and $30,382, respectively, for the years ended January
         31, 2000 and 1999.

         CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

                  Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid
         investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or
         less. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of money market funds
         and commercial paper with an original maturity of three months or less.
         OnlineTrading.com occasionally maintains cash balances in financial
         institutions in excess of the federally insured limits.

         FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

                  Cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued
         expenses are reflected in the financial statements at cost, which
         approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those
         instruments. The fair value of OnlineTrading.com's subordinated loans
         payable, as described in Note 7, and OnlineTrading.com's capital lease
         obligation, as described in Note 8, are the same as the recorded
         amounts because rates and terms approximate current market conditions.

         INCOME TAXES

                  OnlineTrading.com accounts for income taxes in accordance with
         the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109,
         "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the recognition of
         deferred tax liabilities and assets at currently enacted tax rates for
         the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included
         in the financial statements and tax returns.

         EARNINGS PER SHARE

                  Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No.
         128, "Earnings Per Share," which requires companies with complex
         capital structures or common stock equivalents to present both basic
         and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") on the face of the income
         statement. Basic EPS is calculated as income available to common
         stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares
         outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated using the "if
         converted" method for convertible securities and the treasury stock
         method for options and warrants as previously prescribed by Accounting
         Principles Board Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share."

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

         COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

                  In accordance with SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
         Income," OnlineTrading.com is required to report its other
         comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income refers to revenue,
         expenses, gains, and losses that under accounting principles generally
         accepted in the United States are included in comprehensive income but
         are excluded from net income, as these amounts are recorded directly as
         an adjustment to stockholders' equity. A statement of comprehensive
         income is not presented since OnlineTrading.com had no items of other
         comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is the same as net income
         for all periods presented herein.

         SEGMENT INFORMATION

                  OnlineTrading.com adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about
         Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," effective January
         31, 1999. SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way that public
         companies report selected information about operating segments in
         annual and interim financial reports to shareholders. It also
         establishes standards for related disclosures about an enterprise's
         business segments, products, services, geographic areas and major
         customers. OnlineTrading.com operates its business as a single segment.
         As a result, no additional disclosure was required.

         RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

                  In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
         ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
         and Hedging Activities-Deferral of FASB Statement No. 133." SFAS No.
         137 defers for one year the effective date of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting
         for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 will
         now apply to all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after
         June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 will require OnlineTrading.com to recognize
         all derivatives on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities
         measured at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be
         adjusted to fair value through income. OnlineTrading.com will adopt
         SFAS No. 133 effective for the year ending January 31, 2002.
         OnlineTrading.com has not yet determined the impact SFAS No. 133 will
         have on its financial position or results of operations when such
         statement is adopted.

NOTE 2 - NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

                  OnlineTrading.com is subject to the Securities and Exchange
         Commission uniform net capital rule (Rule 15c3-1), which requires the
         maintenance of minimal net capital and requires that the ratio of
         aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not
         exceed 15 to 1. As of January 31, 2000, OnlineTrading.com had net
         capital of $14,051,801, which was $13,914,699 in excess of its required
         net capital of $137,102.

NOTE 3 - PENSION PLAN

                  OnlineTrading.com had maintained a "SIMPLE" retirement plan
         for all eligible employees. Eligible employees may contribute up to
         $500 per month for which OnlineTrading.com will match
         dollar-for-dollar, up to 3% of the employees' compensation.
         Contributions by OnlineTrading.com under this plan totaled $39,928 and
         $46,987 for the years ended January 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
         Effective December 31, 1999, OnlineTrading.com decided to terminate the
         plan.

NOTE 3 - PENSION PLAN (continued)

                  Effective January 15, 2000, OnlineTrading.com started a
         defined contribution 401(k) plan. Eligible employees can contribute up
         to 15% of their eligible salary for which OnlineTrading.com will match
         fifty percent up to $2,500. Contributions by OnlineTrading.com under
         this plan totaled $6,658 for the year ended January 31, 2000.

NOTE 4 - SECURITIES OWNED AND SECURITIES SOLD BUT NOT YET PURCHASED

                  Securities owned and securities sold but not yet purchased
         consist of marketable trading and investment securities at quoted

NOTE 10 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

         (a) CAPITAL STOCK

                  On March 24, 1999, the shareholders and directors affected an
         amendment to OnlineTrading.com's articles of incorporation to change
         the number of authorized common shares to 30,000,000 with a par value
         per share of $0.01 and to change the number of authorized preferred
         shares to 1,000,000 with a par value of $0.01 per share. Prior to that
         date, OnlineTrading.com had 1,000 authorized common shares with no par
         value and authorized preferred shares of 300,000 with a stated value
         per share of $1,000. All of the shares outstanding at that date were
         converted into 8,000,000 shares of the new $0.01 par value common
         stock, and into 300 shares of Series A preferred stock, stated value
         $1,000 per share.

                  On April 3, 1999, a stock split of 11.11111 shares for each 10
         shares of common stock outstanding was effected. All of the common
         shares outstanding at that date were converted into 8,888,888 shares.

                  On May 8, 1999, the shareholders and directors affected an
         amendment to OnlineTrading.com's articles of incorporation to change
         the number of authorized common shares to 100,000,000 with a par value
         per share of $0.01. The effect of the stock split has been
         retroactively reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

                  Each holder of the new $0.01 par value common stock is
         entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters presented to a
         vote of shareholders, including the election of directors.

NOTE 10 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (continued)

                  Holders of common stock have no cumulative voting rights or
         preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any stock or other
         securities, and there are no conversion rights or redemption or sinking
         fund provisions with respect to this stock.

                  OnlineTrading.com's directors have the authority to issue
         1,000,000 shares of the new $0.01 par value preferred stock in one or
         more series and to fix, by resolution, conditional, full, limited or no
         voting powers, and the designations, preferences and relative,
         participating, optional or other special rights, if any, and the
         qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, including
         the number of shares in the series (which the board may increase or
         decrease as permitted by Florida law), liquidation preferences,
         dividend rates, conversion or exchange rights, redemption provisions of
         the shares constituting any series and such other special rights and
         protective provisions with respect to any class or series as the board
         may deem advisable without any further vote or action by the
         shareholders. Any shares of preferred stock so issued could have
         priority over the common stock with respect to dividend or liquidation
         rights or both and could have voting and other rights of shareholders.

                  The board has authorized and issued a Series A preferred with
         the following terms: 300 shares with a stated value of $1,000 per
         share, one vote per share, and redeemable at 110% of stated value at
         the option of OnlineTrading.com. In July 1999, OnlineTrading.com
         redeemed all of the then outstanding preferred stock.

         (b) INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

                  OnlineTrading.com completed its initial public offering (the
         "IPO") by issuing 2,587,500 shares of common stock (including 337,500
         shares to cover over-allotments), $0.01 par value (the "IPO Shares") on
         June 11, 1999. The IPO shares were issued in a registered offering
         pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (Commission File No.
         333-75119; effective date June 11, 1999) through a syndicate of
         underwriters, the principal representatives of which were Werbel-Roth
         Securities, Inc., OnlineTrading.com, Seaboard Securities, Inc.
         and The Agean Group, Inc.

                  The IPO shares were offered and sold by the underwriters at an
         initial public offering price of $7.00 per share, resulting in
         aggregate gross offering proceeds of $18,112,500, net concession and
         management fee proceeds for participation in the underwriting of the
         IPO of $189,867 and net proceeds to OnlineTrading.com of $15,810,891.

                  OnlineTrading.com incurred offering expenses in connection
         with this offering as follows:

                  Underwriting discounts and commissions      $ 1,539,563

                                                              ===========

                  Except for the concessions earned by OnlineTrading.com as a
         result of participating in the underwriters syndicate, none of the
         above expenses were paid either directly or indirectly to directors,
         officers, general partners of OnlineTrading.com or its associates, or
         to persons owning more than 10% of any class of equity security of
         OnlineTrading.com or to affiliates of OnlineTrading.com.

                  In conjunction with the IPO, OnlineTrading.com issued 225,000
         warrants to the underwriters for $100. The warrants have an exercise
         price of $11.55 (165% of the $7.00 IPO price).

NOTE 12 - STOCK OPTIONS

                  In June 1999, OnlineTrading.com adopted the 1999 Stock Option
         Plan. Pursuant to the terms of this plan, employees, non-employee
         directors, consultants and independent contractors are eligible to

         issued under the plan and will be drawn from either authorized but
         previously unissued shares or from treasury shares. Options granted
         under this plan are granted at the fair market value of the common
         stock at the date of grant. In general, the employee options become
         exercisable over a five-year period beginning June 11, 2000. All
         options expire ten years after the date of grant.

                  No stock options have been exercised during the year ended
         January 31, 2000.

                  OnlineTrading.com, as permitted by SFAS No. 123, applies the
         APB Opinion No. 25 for options granted to employees. Accordingly, no
         compensation is recognized for such grants to the extent their exercise
         price is equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock at the
         date of grant. Had compensation cost for OnlineTrading.com's stock
         options been based on fair value at the grant dates consistent with the
         methodologies of SFAS No. 123, OnlineTrading.com's pro forma net income
         (and pro forma earnings per share on a diluted basis) for the year
         ended January 31, 2000 would have been $919,424 (.07 per share). The
         fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
         the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free
         interest rate - 6%; dividend yield - 0%; volatility factor - 70%; and
         weighted average life (years) - 5.

NOTE 13 - ACQUISITION

                  On December 6, 1999, OnlineTrading.com acquired certain
         intangible assets of Newport Discount Brokerage, Inc. ("Newport")
         pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated September 21, 1999 (the
         "Asset Purchase Agreement"). Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement,
         OnlineTrading.com purchased all of Newport's right, title and interest
         in and to its clients. The total consideration paid by
         OnlineTrading.com in connection with this acquisition included cash of
         $2,682,000 and up to 125,000 shares of OnlineTrading.com's common
         stock.

                  Issuance and delivery of the common stock consideration is
         contingent upon the acquired assets achieving certain revenue goals and
         maintaining customer accounts within one year from closing. For
         accounting purposes, the transaction was treated as a purchase.
         OnlineTrading.com recorded an intangible asset of $2,682,000 in
         connection with this acquisition, which is being amortized over five
         years. Amortization expense for the year ending January 31, 2000 was
         $89,400.

NOTE 14 - CONCENTRATIONS AND CREDIT RISKS

         FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

                  OnlineTrading.com will periodically sell securities that it
         does not currently own and will therefore be obligated to purchase such
         securities at a future date. OnlineTrading.com has recorded these
         obligations in the financial statements at January 31, 2000, at market
         values of the related securities. As of January 31, 1999,
         OnlineTrading.com had none of these transactions outstanding.

                  OnlineTrading.com's customer securities activities are
         transacted on either a cash or margin basis. In margin transactions,
         OnlineTrading.com extends credit to its customers, subject to various
         regulatory and internal margin requirements, collateralized by cash and
         securities in the customers' accounts. In connection with these
         activities, OnlineTrading.com executes and clears customer transactions
         involving the sale of securities not yet purchased, substantially all
         of which are transacted on a margin basis subject to individual
         exchange regulations. Such transactions may expose OnlineTrading.com to
         significant off-balance-sheet risk in the event margin requirements are
         not sufficient to fully cover losses that customers may incur. In the
         event the customer fails to satisfy its obligations, OnlineTrading.com
         may be required to purchase or sell financial instruments at prevailing
         market prices to fulfill the customer's obligations.

                  OnlineTrading.com seeks to control the risks associated with
         its customer activities by requiring customers to maintain margin
         collateral in compliance with various regulatory and internal
         guidelines. OnlineTrading.com and its clearing firm monitor required
         margin levels daily and, pursuant to such guidelines, require the
         customers to deposit additional collateral or to reduce positions when
         necessary.

                  OnlineTrading.com's customer financing and securities
         settlement activities require OnlineTrading.com to pledge customer
         securities as collateral in support of various secured financing
         sources such as bank loans and securities loaned. In the event the
         counterparty is unable to meet its contractual obligation to return
         customer securities pledged as collateral, OnlineTrading.com may be
         exposed to the risk of acquiring the securities at prevailing market
         prices in order to satisfy its customers obligations. OnlineTrading.com
         controls this risk by monitoring the market value of securities pledged
         on a daily basis and by requiring adjustments of collateral levels in
         the event of excess market exposure. In addition, OnlineTrading.com
         establishes credit limits for such activities and monitors compliance
         on a daily basis.

NOTE 14 - CONCENTRATIONS AND CREDIT RISKS (continued)

         CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

                  OnlineTrading.com is engaged in various trading and brokerage
         activities in which counterparties primarily include broker-dealers,
         banks, and other financial institutions. In the event counterparties do
         not fulfill their obligations, OnlineTrading.com may be exposed to
         risk. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the
         counterparty or issuer of the instrument. It is OnlineTrading.com's
         policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of each
         counterparty.

NOTE 15 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         OPERATING LEASES

                  OnlineTrading.com is obligated under four non-cancelable
         operating leases for office space with expiration dates ranging from
         February 2000 to February 2007. OnlineTrading.com subleases space to
         three unrelated entities in its corporate headquarters. On March 2,
         1999, OnlineTrading.com entered into a three year operating lease for
         office furniture and equipment.

                  Rent expense for the years ended January 31, 2000 and 1999 was
         as follows:

NOTE 15 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)

         LITIGATION

                  OnlineTrading.com has been named in a civil action by a former
         customer alleging excessive trading and commissions, violation of
         Massachusetts General Laws c.93A ss. and c.110A ss.ss.101 and 102 and
         violation of NASD conduct rules. The claimant is seeking total alleged
         damages of $566,345 plus interest, costs, fees, and treble damages.
         OnlineTrading.com's attorneys moved the case to the United States
         District Court for the District of Massachusetts, Eastern Division,
         where the matter is currently pending and awaiting ruling on our motion
         to compel arbitration.

                  The case is in the early stages and no estimate of a potential
         liability against OnlineTrading.com, if any, can be determined at this
         time. Management believes the case to be completely without merit and
         intends to present a vigorous defense and to seek reimbursement for all
         costs and fees associated with our defense.

                  In addition, from time to time, OnlineTrading.com may become
         engaged in ordinary routine litigation and/or arbitration incidental to
         its business. OnlineTrading.com does not believe that such ordinary
         routine litigation/arbitration would have a material adverse effect on
         its financial position or results of operations.

                UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements give effect to,
and assume the completion of, the proposed merger of Omega Acquisition
Corporation, a recently-formed corporation wholly-owned by OnlineTrading.com
Group, Inc. ("Holding Company"), with and into Omega, and the merger of
Onlinetrading Acquisition Corporation, a recently-formed corporation also
wholly-owned by Holding Company with and into Online, on a pooling-of-interests
basis. Immediately after the mergers, Omega and Online would be wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Holding Company. Holding Company's unaudited pro forma combined
balance sheet assumes that the mergers took place on December 31, 1999 and
combines the Omega consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1999 with Online's
balance sheet as of January 31, 2000. Holding Company's unaudited pro forma
combined statements of operations assume that the mergers took place as of the
beginning of the periods presented and combine Omega's consolidated statements
of operations for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 with Online's
statements of operations for the years ended January 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Holding Company's unaudited pro forma combined financial
statements are based on Omega and Online's historical annual financial
statements and related notes thereto, which have not been restated for the
effect of the merger.

         It is anticipated that nonrecurring merger expenses in the amount of
approximately $4.1 million will be incurred in connection with the merger. Such
expenses are not reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined statements of
operations.

         The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are presented for
illustrative purposes only, assume the completion of the proposed merger, and
are not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or results of
operations of future periods or the results that actually would have been
realized had the entities been a single entity during these periods.

         Certain amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma combined financial
statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes.
