Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

1. ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Saratoga Holdings I, Inc. (the Company), is a Texas corporation. As of September
30, 1999, the Company has no operations other than those related to a portfolio
of past due account receivables. Accordingly, no prior year comparable numbers
are presented for the statements of operations and cash flows. The Company is in
the business of purchasing portfolios of accounts receivable at a discount and
of collecting receivables or reselling them in the same or in differently
configured portfolios. Effective May 17, 1999, the Company's registration
statement on Form SB-2 was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission and, accordingly, the company is subject to the reporting
requirements of section15(d) of the securities exchange act of 1934. Its shares
are now publicly registered.
The Company was previously the wholly owned subsidiary of Saratoga Resources,
Inc., a Delaware Corporation (The "Parent"). In connection to the merger of the
Parent with another entity, the Parent distributed 3,465,292 of its shares of
the Company to the Parent's stockholders and the Parent transferred 301,375
shares of the Company to Saratoga Resources, Inc., a Texas corporation
("Saratoga-Texas")(also a former subsidiary of the Parent, spun-off
simultaneously with the Company).
The accompanying unaudited financial statements are those of the Company, and
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and
Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation for
the periods indicated have been included. Operating results for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. The
balance sheet at December 31, 1998 has been derived from the audited financial
statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and notes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements (including the notes thereto) for the year
ended December 31, 1998.
2. GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information,
which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the
Company had no operating activities prior to
6
<PAGE>
November 12, 1998 and had limited cash, working capital and available sources of
financing at September 30, 1999, raising substantial doubt about the entity's
ability to continue as a going concern. The Company currently has limited
expenses other than legal, accounting and commissions which the Company intends
to pay with collections of the past due accounts receivable. Saratoga- Texas has
agreed to pay the Company's legal, accounting and reporting expenses up to
$40,000 for the first 18 months of the Company's operations subject to repayment
if the Company becomes profitable. This agreement is documented by a note dated
November 12, 1998 which provides for interest a the rate of 10% per annum. In
addition, the Company hopes that it will be able to support some of its
operations through the collection of accounts receivable.

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
On May 17, 1999, the Company's registration statement on Form SB-2 was declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, publicly registering the
stock of Saratoga Holdings I, Inc. which was then spun off by Saratoga
Resources, its former parent.
Randall Johnson, the President of the Company, is also a stockholder, officer
and director of both the company that sold the past due accounts receivable to
the Company and of the company that the Company has hired to collect the
receivables (the Premium Group). The Premium Group's primary role will be to
provide management expertise and strategic direction to the Company for the
acquisition of companies and consolidation of collection companies. On June 14,
1999, the Company agreed to the following compensation, upon the closing of one
or more acquisitions of collection companies by the Company resulting in pro
forma after tax earnings of $4 million: issuance to Randall Johnson and the
Premium Group collectively 376,668 shares of common stock of the Company as well
as warrants to purchase an additional 376,668 shares. Half of these warrants, at
an exercise price of 110% of the average Company stock price 90 days after the
first acquisition, will vest one year after the first acquisition and expire two
years later. The remaining half of the warrants, at an exercise price of 200% of
the average Company stock price 90 days after the first acquisition, will vest
two years after the first acquisition and expire two years later. In exchange
for these shares and warrants, the Company received an option to acquire all of
the equity ownership of the Premium Group within 90 days of an acquisition, at a
price based on the EBITDA of the acquired collection agencies. If no
acquisitions of collection agencies has been made by December 31, 1999, the
agreement expires.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
Overview. Since the consummation of the spin off of the Company from
the Parent, management has sought new business opportunities relating to the
acquisition, resale, management, and collection of portfolios of delinquent and
defaulted accounts receivable.
The Company has also entered into a strategic alliance with the Premium
Group ("Premium"), a regional collection agency located in Georgetown, Texas. In
accordance with this agreement, Premium will act as the exclusive agent to
assist the Company in the location, purchase and sale of receivables. Using its
current customer base and extensive contacts within the industry, Premium will
assist the Company in the acquisition of these portfolios. This agreement will
serve to allow the Company to negotiate for larger portfolios and to take
advantage of associated volume discounts.
Additionally, the Company is currently negotiating with investment
bankers to raise approximately $40 million to be dedicated to the acquisition of
regional and national collection agencies, as described in the "Business
Strategy" section of the Prospectus of the Company's registration statement on
Form SB-2.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Registrant utilizes software and related technologies that may be
affected by the Year 2000 issue, which is common to most businesses. The
Registrant is addressing the effect of the potential Year 2000 issue on all its
critical systems and with all of its critical vendors, customers and clients. At
this time, critical information systems throughout the Registrant are Year 2000
compliant. No extra costs were incurred in obtaining this compliance. Management
has determined that no critical business areas will be adversely affected by
Year 2000 issues, but the Registrant continues to work with its vendors,
customers and others to ensure a smooth transition. Based on the foregoing
Management does not consider any contingency plan to be necessary, and
management believes that any costs and risks related to Year 2000 compliance
will not have a material adverse impact on the liquidity or financial position
of the Registrant. If the Registrant hereafter engages in acquisitions or
business combinations, such as the purchase of the consumer debt accounts
receivable in 1999, management will address possible new Year 2000 problems
related to such transactions at the time of such transactions.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements contained herein that relate to the Registrant's future
performance, including without limitation statements with respect to the
Registrant's anticipated results for any portion of 1999, shall be deemed
forward looking statements within the safe harbor provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. A number of factors affecting the
Registrant's business and operations could cause actual results to differ
materially from those contemplated by the forward
8
<PAGE>
looking statements. Those factors include, but are not limited to, demand and
competition for the Registrant's products and services, changes in the
requirements of clients and customers, and changes in general economic
conditions that may affect demand for the Registrant's products and services or
otherwise affect results of operations or the value of the Registrant's assets.
The forward-looking statements that are included in this report were prepared by
management and have not been audited by, examined by, compiled by or subjected
to agreed-upon procedures by independent accountants, and no third party has
independently verified or reviewed such statements. Readers of this report
should consider these facts in evaluating the information and are cautioned not
to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained herein.
