PART I

Item 1. Business.

(a) Development of Business.

Global DataTel, Inc., was originally incorporated in the State of Utah in 1980,
as LaPlate Oil and Mining, Inc., and changed its name to Gold Coast Resources,
Inc. in 1982. The Company's state of incorporation was changed in December, 1996
to the State of Nevada. In December, 1998, the Company's name was changed to
Global DataTel, Inc., in connection with a change in control of the Company. The
change resulted from the series of events described below which occurred earlier
in 1998 and refocused the direction of the Company. In December 1998, [1] the
largest shareholder of the Company, surrendered a portion of his shares, and the
Company reissued shares to, among others, new shareholders who invested along
with the new business of the Company. Shortly thereafter, the existing officers
and directors of the Company, David Newren and David Levy, resigned, and Richard
Baker, Antonio Serrato, and Jerry Daye were appointed to the Board of Directors
and Richard Baker was appointed President, Gerald D'Ambroseo appointed Secretary
and Michael DeMarie appointed Treasurer. Mr. Baker resigned from all positions
with the Company in June 2000. All share and per share data in the Report give
retroactive effect to Company's December 1998 one-for-two reverse stock split.

In 1998, a number of significant transactions took place. The Company, in
September 1998, acquired International Computer Resources, Inc. ("ICR"), a
Florida corporation, which does business as an IBM computer reseller, and
Mantenimiento Electronico de Systemas, Ltd. ("MES"), a Colombian corporation,
which does business as a computer integrator and service provider.

In November, 1998, Global acquired three additional Colombian corporations, Casa
Informatica, S.A., ("CASA"), DLR & CIA, Ltda., ("DLR") and Microstar, Ltda.
("MICRO"). CASA, an IBM computer reseller, was acquired for $840,000.00 in cash
and a promissory note (since paid) and 392,000 restricted shares of the
Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") valued at $1,176,000. DLR, an IBM
computer reseller and system integrator, was acquired for a total consideration
of $600,000, which was

2
<PAGE>

paid $300,000 in cash and a promissory note (since partially paid) and 60,000
restricted shares of the Company's common stock valued at $300,000. The
remaining payments under the promissory note to DLR ($120,000) were placed in
escrow while the parties negotiate a settlement. The remaining balance on,
MICRO, also a IBM computer reseller and system integrator, was acquired for a
total consideration of $500,000, which was paid $150,000 in cash and a
promissory note (since paid) and 70,000 restricted shares of the Company's
common stock valued at $350,000.

Global now has three wholly owned or controlled operating subsidiaries:

Global DataTel de Colombia, S.A. (GDC), a Colombian
corporation which is subsidiary, consisting of four acquired
companies in Colombia, MES, CASA, DLR and MICRO. These
companies are involved in the computer system integration
business. Global owns 94.9% of the capital stock of GDC, with
100% of the voting rights. Under Colombian law, a foreign
entity cannot own more than 94.9% of a Colombian corporation.

On Line Latin America, S.A. (OLA), now known as eHola.com
S.A., a Colombian corporation, is in the Internet service
business. Global owns 94.9% of the capital stock of OLA, with
100% of the voting rights.

eHOLA.com, Inc, (eHOLA), a Nevada corporation (formerly
Electronic Latin America On-Line, Inc.), a wholly owned
subsidiary, is in the Internet service business.

Global DataTel de Colombia was incorporated under the laws of Colombia on May
10, 1999, in Bogota, Colombia. The company was the combination of the 4
Colombian acquired companies, DLR, CASA, Microstar, and MES. OLA was
incorporated under the laws of Colombia on January 3, 1999, in Barranquilla,
Colombia, and subsequently changed its name to ehola.com S.A. The corporation
was a newly formed company. Ehola.com,Inc., formerly known as On Line Latin
America,Inc. was incorporated on December 31,1998, in Nevada. The corporation is
a newly formed company.

The operations of International Computer Resources, Inc. ("ICR") are now
conducted under Global DataTel, Inc., and form the North American component of
the Information Systems Division.

Gold Coast Resources prior to September 1998 was involved in the marketing of
the "Travel Agent's Hotel Guide", a publication that provided travel agents
exposure to Hotels and hotels around the world. Prior to that, Gold Coast
Resources was involved in oil, gas, mining and mineral investments.

On December 14, 1998, the Company sold its interest in a subsidiary, The Travel
Agent's Hotel Guide, Inc., a Nevada corporation, to Ameriresources Technologies,
Inc. in consideration for a convertible debenture in the face amount of
$3,350,000, bearing interest at the rate of seven (7%) percent per annum and
convertible in three years into common stock of Ameriresources. Gold Coast
Resources had acquired a 20% interest in the Travel Agent's Hotel Guide, Inc. on
August 17, 1998, by payment of 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock to David Newren,
a former officer and director of the Company. The Company had previously
acquired an 80% interest.

[11] In April, 1999, we negotiated a letter of intent to acquire Malibu Shopping
Networks, Inc., doing business as "Latin Pak," which company provides marketing
and distribution services to the Latin American community. No agreement was ever
entered into and the Company elected not to pursue this acquisition.

<PAGE>

At one time, Gold Coast Resources pursued mergers with Biostasis, Inc., Shoulder
Shade Products, Inc., Secure Bind, Inc., and Fox Broadcasting Inc., but
rescinded these transactions in August 1998, canceling the 1,000,000 shares of
preferred stock previously issued to each of these entities.

(b) Narrative Description of Business.

Global DataTel de Colombia, (GDC) is the largest operating subsidiary of Global,
with over 95% of its revenues and profits. This subsidiary is the South American
component of our Information Systems Division. The North American component of
our Information Systems Division presently accounts for approximately 5% of the
Company's revenues and profits. GDC is a midrange to large system integration
computer solution provider. In Colombia, GDC is authorized by various leading
high tech companies as a reseller. [4] An authorized reseller is a company that
has met the minimum requirements established by a manufacturer in order to be
able to resell that manufacturer's product. GDC represents such firms as IBM
Corp., Compaq Computer, Microsoft, and Lotus. The GDC subsidiary has been
authorized by IBM de Colombia to resell midrange and personal computer systems
and IBM's operating system software and utilities in Colombia. We deal directly
with IBM de Colombia for order fulfillment. We are also authorized to resell
Compaq Corp. systems in Colombia. We can purchase directly or through their
distributors as best suits our needs. The Microsoft Corp. has authorized GDC to
be a Microsoft Solution provider. [3] In that capacity, GDC integrates Microsoft
products with other applications, i.e., installing and setting up Microsoft
programs in the hardware and network elements being purchased by our customers
as part of an integrated system. The Lotus Corp., an IBM company, has authorized
us to resell their products. These products are primarily purchased through
their authorized distributors in Colombia. Global is also an authorized reseller
in Colombia of Global One telecommunications products and services. Global One
is a corporation owned jointly by Sprint, French Telecom, and Deutsche Telecom.
They operate Global One outside their primary markets. Because of changes in
control of Global One no agreement is in effect and Global has not generated any
revenues from Global One. [8] [9]

We are authorized distributors for IBM and Lotus, and we have a written
distribution agreement with JBA International, Inc. ("JBA") [2] [5] There are no
exclusive sales territories for IBM, Compaq, Microsoft, JBA, Cisco Systems or
Lotus.[2] We do have an "installed base" with IBM, whereby any contact to buy
IBM hardware by applicable customers is made through GDC.

The primary focus is to provide presale consulting to Colombia's largest
national, government, and international companies, to determine the best
solution to their particular information system requirements. Based upon this
analysis, GDC can provide clients with a fully integrated solution which may
include hardware, software and services from various sources. The products may
include an AS/400 mini-computer, which becomes the host system in a centric
computing architecture operating under IBM's proprietary OS/400 operating
system. The applications suite that reside on these hosts may include an ERP
application such as JBA's System 21 product localized and customized for each
account. The Information Systems Division's main business is to provide system
consulting, resale of new micro, mini, or mainframe hardware, as well as
software and complementary contract services as

4
<PAGE>

needed. These services may include help desk, contract programming, training,
and hardware/software maintenance contracts. Sale of new hardware typically may
include wintel based micro computers such as IBM desktops, IBM AS/400-RS/6000
mini computers, and IBMS/390 mainframes. A typical sales cycle begins with
either a sales lead from one of our suppliers such as IBM, or a direct outbound
sales call from one of our salespersons. We market primarily in Colombia, with 4
offices in the major cities. Our staff includes 162 employees, all of them
full-time employees. Customer support is determined by the product or service
that has been supplied to the account. In the case of new hardware, the supplier
handles the warranty directly and subsequently may sell an ongoing service
agreement. Software products may include Microsoft, Lotus, JBA, and several
other complimentary application software programs as may be deemed necessary in
order to provide satisfactory results. Services include various supplemental
after sale products such as executive training, employee implementation, and
long term contractual maintenance agreements.

Our largest order to date is from La Cachareria La Catorce a large supermarket
chain headquartered in Cali, Colombia. This order is primarily for IBM point of
sale hardware and software.[7] While the parties negotiated a contract they
chose instead to enter into a three-year plan beginning in 1999. Each year upon
Global's submission of a budget and schedule of store by store implementation,
GDC obtains a work order. Invoicing and payment is made when each store
installation is completed. As of February 1, 2000, we had fulfilled
approximately $850,000 of the plan rollout. There was a 12 month delay from the
original schedule due to technical problems with IBM's network. The year 2000
should constitute $500,000 with the balance of a $5 million budget subject to
review.

[10] GDC formerly had a service agreement with the Colombian National Police to
maintain and service their IBM Information System. This agreement ended in
December, 1999, due to the fact that the National Police added 20 additional
RS/6000 servers which they wanted the Company to maintain at no additional
compensation. It was not profitable for the Company to do so. Our current
service agreement covers power, original cabling, networking elements,
connectors, switching and frames. In connection with our system integration
services we provide the National Police with hardware from Cisco and Hewlett
Packard, as well as cabling services needed for the installation, configuration
and testing of their information system. We also receive installation
assignments on an as-needed basis.

The customer support for software and services, may reside with Global, with
certain levels of support accorded our company from the supplier. New product
developments include e-commerce solutions as well localization of some software
programs for our suppliers such as JBA. At the moment we have no intellectual
property rights, or patents, and licenses.

[13] The division operates across a broad horizontal marketplace and is not
limited to any single vertical market. We compete in a very competitive
marketplace against not only other integrators, but also manufacturers such as
Sun Microsystems, as well as IBM themselves in certain instances. Management
believes that Global is well positioned in the marketplace and has a good
reputation in fulfilling the client contracts. Our competitors however, may have
greater resources or superior products, than our offerings. The competitive
nature of system integration requires a talented workforce to compete
effectively. The competition may have expertise in certain areas that would give
that company an edge in winning a contract and vice versa.

5
<PAGE>

[13] GDC has been selling integrated systems and providing enterprise resource
planning (ERP) services in the manufacturing and distribution sectors, and
competes, management believes, on the basis of price, quality and speed. ERP
integrates all departments and functions across a company into a single computer
system to serve, in an efficient and integrated fashion, the needs of the
different departments. By including all of the hardware, software and services
to implement a project from our broad portfolio of products and services, which
includes electronic business to business applications, we maintain a competitive
advantage. A growing percentage of sales is directly related to the business to
business area, which is a natural complement to our integrated systems
offerings.

Because of our concentration of business in Colombia, we are dependent on the
laws of that country to offer our products and services. At present there is
substantially no known detrimental regulations concerning the products we sell,
such as IBM, Compaq and other computer manufacturers, as well the services we
provide as part of standard set of offering to the commercial sector in
Colombia. The Internet division has to date not been adversely effected by any
governmental rules or regulatory laws. It is possible legislation may be enacted
that could effect both divisions ability to conduct business in Colombia.

On Line Latin America, S.A. (now eHOLA.com S.A.), and eHOLA.com operate under
our On Line Services Division. This division's main business is two-fold: to
provide dial-up Internet access ("Internet Access") principally to do business
in the United States, Central America, and South America, (which is marketed
under the eHOLA name) and to provide both simple and sophisticated e-commerce
business solutions ("Technology Solutions").

Our Internet access operations commenced on April 22, 1999. We presently offer
Internet access in the following countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile,
Colombia, El Salvador, Equador, Guatemala, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, United States
and Venezuela. We are in a testing phase, and are actively seeking subscribers.
eHOLA offers, for one basic yearly subscription price per country, in the
countries listed above, unlimited Internet access including the World Wide Web
multilingual portal The service also includes free e-mail and Microsoft Internet
Explorer browser. As of June 30, 2000, we had 343 Internet access subscribers,
approximately 4,400 registered users, and revenues of $66,920.

The Internet in Latin America is still in its infancy as compared to the United
States or Europe as looked at from a population penetration percentage. Although
the market place is relatively new, competition is growing more robust. Though
eHOLA endeavors to engage in predominately business-to-business e-commerce in
Latin America where there is presently limited competition due to the high
distribution channel barriers to entry, there is no guarantee that competition
in this realm will remain comparatively tepid.

[14] America OnLine's ("AOL") entrance into Latin America (AOL LA) has dedicated
its effort to build dialup service and consumer oriented content. AOL LA has
launched service in Brazil, and we expect that it will expand to other countries
in Latin America, following the consumer oriented market. While it may take time
to build brand name recognition in Latin America, with AOL's resources and
expertise, it is expected that AOL LA will be a market leader. Nevertheless, we
believe that the market is so large that we will be able to maintain our
presence in the market place.

6
<PAGE>

eHOLA is moving towards being a business to business oriented company. As
Internet use in Latin America grows, more businesses will need to develop
internet strategies. While AOL LA will affect the ISP portion of our business,
our e-commerce, Web integration, hosting, connectivity and application service
provider portions are not considered to be, at least today, affected by AOL LA.
As AOL LA's marketing efforts bring more consumers to the Internet, more
business oriented opportunities shall appear for eHOLA.

[12] In February 2000, we opened an e-business center in Bogota, Colombia,
including Global Plaza and Global Merchant. Global Plaza is an Internet site
where our clients can build a virtual store where, for a monthly fee, they can
link, promote, catalog and sell their products over the Internet and share our
search capabilities without the need to acquire, operate and maintain their own
hardware and software. Global Merchant is an e-commerce application that allows
small, and medium size companies to create multiple virtual stores to exhibit,
promote, and commercialize their products and services over the Internet by
taking real-time sales orders from existing or perspective customers 24 hours a
day, seven days a week. Global Merchant provides the ability to generate
advertising spaces for each store, track performance and sales and derive
consumer profiles to obtain demographic information. The Bogota center currently
has three users, and is still in the process of launching. Presently, it is our
goal for this center to provide services for all of Colombia. Once established,
we will seek to open centers in Cali, Medillen and Baranquilla, Colombia.

The Technology Solutions operations are in their development stage. eHOLA
endeavors to provide both simple and sophisticated e-commerce business solutions
to Latin American companies with which eHOLA/com comes in contact by virtue of
GDC's (and its progeny's) Web and system integration engagements, its Internet
Access clientele, business visitors to its Internet business center, and through
its own direct solicitations. eHOLA's Technology Solutions operations have
attracted relationships with top-tier American technology providers (e.g.,
BroadVision) seeking to capitalize upon GDC's and eHOLA's Latin American
synergies.

Global is not dependent upon any major customer at the present time. From time
to time Global has had large government contracts. Such large government
contracts or clients are, in the opinion of Management, an exception. As we
purchase products only in connection with our sales, we do not experience
backlogs.

The South American component of our Information Systems Division, GDC, accounts
for approximately 95% of the Company's revenues. The North American component
presently accounts for approximately 5%.

Global has no research and development costs to date. [6]

Possible Future Acquisitions. Management believes that an important element of
Global's strategy to be a lending provider of e-business and infrastructure
solutions is and will continue to be organic growth and growth through
acquisitions. The web and systems integration, Internet access and related
businesses in Latin America are still relatively fragmented in comparison to
similar companies in the United States. This fragmented market creates
opportunities for companies like Global who are positioned to acquire small,
independent companies throughout Latin America and then aggregate these
companies within one business enterprise that can enjoy economics of scale and
other synergies.

7
<PAGE>

Global presently has no definitive agreements to consummate any such
transactions, but has entered into discussions with a number of web and systems
integration companies and Internet service providers in Latin America with
respect to either entering into a letter of intent or acquiring an option to
purchase such businesses. Management expects that any such transactions would be
consummated, if at all, following the recapitalization and consummation of the
GDIS Acquisition. Management also expects that the majority of the consideration
paid to acquire such companies would be in the form of shares of Class B Common
Stock of Surge Components, Inc. However, there can be no assurance that any such
transactions will be consummated, or, if they are, as to the terms of the
definitive purchase agreements.

Item 2. Properties.

The Company presently maintains the following facilities:

Information Systems Division - North America

policies. Present utilization of our facilities is at approximately 75%.

We also utilize our suppliers' in-country backbone facilities to allow
access to our network, thereby eliminating any need for additional offices in
separate countries.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

The Company has been named by Seven Oaks Holdings as a third-party defendant in
litigation in connection with the reissuance of a stock certificate for
approximately 400,000 shares, with restrictive legend. A shareholder of the
Company had pledged the shares to Seven Oaks Holdings in connection with a loan
transaction. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to such
action. [26] The action, initially commenced in May, 1999, is pending in the
Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County,
Florida, Case No. CL 99-4900 AI, and is entitled "Joseph Charles & Associates,
Plaintiff, and Classic Inns, Inc., Plaintiff Intervenor, vs. Seven Oaks
Holdings, Limited, Defendant/Third Party Plaintiff, vs. Global DataTel, Inc. and
Signature Stock Transfer, Inc., Third Party Defendants."

On October 5, 1999, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
issued a Formal Order Directing Private Investigation pursuant to Section 20(a)
of the Securities Act and Section 21(a) of the Exchange Act in the Matter of
Global DataTel, Inc., to determine if any acts or practices were in violation of
Sections 17(a) and 17(b) of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) of the Exchange
Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The Company believes that the SEC's
investigation is focused on the accuracy of information published by the
Company. The Company has responded to all requests for documentary information
sought by the SEC in its investigation. The Staff has taken testimony in this
matter.

In June 2000, Global received written notice and claim for payment of
approximately $134,000 from Efflux, Inc. ("Efflux"), in connection with two
alleged written contracts and an oral agreement relating to construction of a
Web site, and other Web related work for ehola. In addition, Efflux claims
certain amounts for software and related license purchases on behalf of ehola.
Efflux claims ownership of the Web site and its use, pursuant to the contracts,
until payment is made in full. Global believes that it has a meritorious defense
to the claims asserted by Efflux, and to date, no litigation relating to this
matter has been commenced by either Efflux or Global.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

The issuance of shares by the Company in connection with the hereinafter
described acquisitions of ICR, MES, DLR and MicroStar, as well as the terminated
acquisitions described below, were each transactions exempt from registration
pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"),
as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering. No unregistered
distribution of the Company's securities was made in any of the transactions
without an appropriate exemption from the registration requirements. [27] The
issuance of shares pursuant to the exemption from registration pursuant to
Regulation D of the Securities Act is also noted where appropriate. Unless
otherwise indicated below, no underwriters or placement agents were involved in
any transactions.

In 1997, the Company engaged in negotiations for various entities wherein
preferred stock was issued. These investors were exempt from registration under
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The Company issued approximately 4,500,000
shares of preferred stock in connection with Biostasis, Inc., Shoulder Shade
Products, Inc., Secure Bind, Inc., Fox Broadcasting Inc. and the acquisition of
Travel Agents Hotel Guide, Inc. All of the proposed acquisitions were cancelled.
These preferred stock transactions were reversed in August, 1998. (See
"Consolidated Financial Statements" and Notes thereto).

During 1997, Gold Coast acquired 135,751 shares of Synfuels Technology, Inc. by
issuing 1,585,040 shares of its restricted common stock. An additional 30,125

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

Except for historical information, the materials contained in this Management's
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation is forward-looking (within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange
Act) and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These include the
Company's losses, lack of working capital, general economic downturns, economic,
social and political conditions in Colombia and other parts of Central and South
America, and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company's filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although forward-looking statements
in this Report reflect the good faith judgment of the Company's management, such
statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by the
Company. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to
risks and uncertainties, actual results and outcomes may differ materially from
the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. Readers
are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by the
Company in this Report, as an attempt to advise interested parties of the risks
and factors that may affect the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations and prospects.

Year Ended December 30, 1999 as Compared to the Year Ended December 30, 1998

During 1998, the Company changed its focus, disposing of the operations
previously carried on by the Company (primarily related to the publication of
the Travel Agents Hotel Guide) and acquiring five companies operating in the
computer and electronics industry and a developing company in the internet
service business. As a result, comparison of the Company's operations would not
be meaningful. The following table summarizes the results of operations for the
acquired companies:

Year Ended December 31,
1999 1998

Net sales $13,836,785 $21,457,159
Cost of goods sold 8,411,701 15,620,783
Gross profit 5,425,084 5,836,376
Selling, general & administrative expenses 4,345,900 2,768,733
Payroll and related expenses 3,541,784 2,626,204
(Loss) profit from operations (2,462,600) 441,439

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 1999 ("Fiscal 1999") decreased by
$7,620,374, or 36%, to $13,836,785, as compared to $21,457,159 for the year
ended December 31, 1998 ("Fiscal 1998"). This decrease was attributable
primarily to having the Company's main supplier sell directly to clients, with
the Company receiving a commission on the sale. In this

13
<PAGE>

way, the Company limited its credit risk. Beginning during the first quarter of
2000, the Company reinstituted the policy of purchasing equipment from this
supplier. Approximately 82% of the sales in Calendar 1999 or $11,349,168 were
from the sales of computer equipment as compared to $18,238,585 or 85% of sales
in Calendar 1998.

The Company's gross profit for Fiscal 1999 decreased by $411,292, or 7%, to
$5,425,084, as compared to $5,836,376 for Fiscal 1998. The decrease in the gross
profit resulted primarily from the decrease in sales volume. The Company has
reduced the amount of inventory it keeps on hand and the related carrying costs
as a result of the Company's main supplier selling directly to the customer.
Additionally, a greater percentage of the sales during 1999 were from services
provided to customers. These sales have historically had a higher gross profit
than those of the sales of products. The receiving of commission on the sales
made by the Company's main supplier directly to the Company's customers also
results in an increased gross profit. As a result, gross profit as a percentage
of sales increased from 27% in Calendar 1998 to 39% in Calendar 1999.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1,577,167, or 57% to
$4,345,900 in Fiscal 1999, as compared to $2,768,733 for Fiscal 1998. The
increase in these expenses relates to the costs associated with the commencing
of operations for ehola.

Payroll expenses increased by $915,580, or 35% to $3,541,784 in Fiscal 1999, as
compared to $2,626,204 in Fiscal 1998. The increase is due to the hiring of
additional staff such as marketing, design, and technical personnel. These
increases are primarily due to the Company's commitment towards increasing sales
and its related investment in internet e-commerce activities during the third
quarter of Fiscal 1999.

As a result of the above, the acquired companies on a proforma basis, had a loss
from operations totaling $2,462,600 in Fiscal 1999, as compared to income from
operations totaling $441,439 in Fiscal 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's Current Ratio changed to 0.71 at December 31, 1999, as compared to
0.85 at December 31, 1998, as a result of an increase of other current assets,
accounts payable and accrued expenses. At December 31, 1999, the Company has a
working capital deficiency totaling $1,960,013. The deficiency primarily relates
to the funds expended for the purchase of Micro, DLR and Casa in 1998 and start
up costs relating to ehola. The Company incurred losses totaling $3,218,822
during Fiscal 1999, which it financed through increases in accounts payable,
accrued expenses, note payable from Surge Components, Inc and proceeds totaling
$300,000 from the issuance of stock.

exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in the
political and social conditions in Colombia, and by changes in governmental
policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures,
currency conversion, remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation among
other things. Since its working capital has been limited, obligations and
commitments have gone unfulfilled. The Company's current financial situation, as
well as the ongoing funding to support the initial operations of ehola, will
require the Company to obtain additional financing in order to meet its
obligations during the next twelve months. The Company currently has no material
commitments for capital expenditures.

The Company has had losses generated from operations for several years. These
losses have generally been financed through stockholder loans, proceeds from
stock issuances or the issuance of shares to pay for services rendered to the
Company. During 1998, Gold Coast issued 1,198,500 shares of its common stock to
officers, directors, employees and others for services rendered. The shares were
valued at $.20 per share. During 1998, Gold Coast issued 2,870,000 shares of its
common stock for cash at $.20 per share pursuant to rule 504 of Regulation D. On
February 5, 1999 the Company did an offering under Rule 504 of Regulation D for
100,000 shares of its common stock at $3.00 per share. The offering was
subscribed to in full by a stockholder.

At one time, Gold Coast Resources pursued mergers with Biostasis, Inc., Shoulder
Shade Products, Inc., Secure Bind, Inc., and Fox Broadcasting Inc., but
rescinded these transactions in August 1998, canceling the shares of preferred
stock previously issued to each of these entities.

On November 30, 1998, the Company acquired DLR for $300,000 ($100,000 due at
closing and five monthly installments of $40,000 thereafter, as defined) in
cash, and 60,000 shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $3.00 per
share. The net assets acquired and liabilities assumed approximated $3,527,000
and $1,786,000, respectively. The acquisition resulted in goodwill of
approximately $502,000. The Company did not make the payments as required and is
in default on the remaining obligation. In March 2000, the remaining payments
under the agreement totaling $120,000 were placed in escrow while the parties
negotiate a settlement.

On November 30, 1998, the Company acquired Micro for $150,000, payable in six
consecutive monthly payments from the date of closing, and 70,000 shares of the
Company's common stock, valued at $3.00 per share. The net assets acquired and
liabilities assumed approximated $890,000 and $748,000, respectively. The
purchase resulted in goodwill of approximately $218,000.

15
<PAGE>

On November 30, 1998, the Company acquired Casa for $840,000, payable in 9
monthly payments of $93,333 commencing at the date of the closing and 392,000
shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $3 per share. The net assets
acquired and liabilities assumed approximated $3,300,000 and $1,800,000,
respectively. The purchase resulted in goodwill of approximately $512,000.

On December 14, 1998, the Company sold its interest in a subsidiary, The Travel
Agent's Hotel Guide, Inc., a Nevada corporation, to Ameriresource Technologies,
Inc. in consideration for a convertible debenture in the face amount of
$3,350,000, bearing interest at the rate of seven (7%) percent per annum and
convertible in three years into common stock of Ameriresource. Gold Coast
Resources had acquired 20% interest in the Travel Agent's Hotel Guide, Inc.
company on August 17, 1998, by payment of 7,000,000 shares of Common Stock
shares to David Newren, a former officer and director of the Company. The
remaining 80% had previously been acquired by the issuance of 600,000 shares of
Gold Coast Resources common stock.

At December 31, 1998 the Company has only one class of common stock outstanding
and a Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock has a liquidating value of no less than $35,000,000 and has preference
over all other stock in a liquidation. The conversion value is based on the
liquidating value and a maximum share price of 111 shares of common stock for
one share of preferred stock. There are no arrearages in preferred dividends. On
June 25, 1999, the shares were converted into 13,000,001 shares of the Company's
common stock.

The Colombian subsidiaries obtain short-term financing from banks and financing
companies. Interest on such obligations currently range between 18% and 28%
annually and is determined by the financing source subsequent to the
availability of funds. Most of these obligations are personally guaranteed by
officers of the companies and the balance owed as of December 31, 1999
approximated $450,000.

ICR has available a $100,000 line of credit, at 10% interest, personally
guaranteed by the majority stockholder of the Company, for working capital
purposes. As of December 31, 1999, the balance owed on this line of credit was
approximately $95,000.

The Colombian subsidiaries have credit facilities from IBM for the purchase of
computer equipment which are guaranteed by certain shareholders and officers of
the Colombian subsidiaries. The available credit facilities at December 31, 1999
approximated $1,200,000 for Casa, $600,000 for DLR, and $150,000 for Micro. The
outstanding balances at December 31, 1998 totaled $2,119,915.

In April 1999, the Company entered into an option agreement with a consultant,
in partial payment for services rendered. The agreement grants 250,000 shares of
the Company's common stock, at an exercise price of $5.75 per share. The options
are non-dilutive. To date, no options have been exercised.

In October 1999, the Company issued a subordinated Convertible Promissory Note
(the "Note") in the amount of $1,000,000. The Note is due on June 1, 2000 and
accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum. Upon the successful completion of
the asset purchase by Surge, the Note is canceled and all interest accrued to
date will be forgiven. If the asset purchase with Surge is not completed by
February 28, 2000 or is not approved by the shareholders of both companies,
Surge at its sole discretion may convert the Note into the common stock of the
Company at a conversion price equal to 90% of the average closing price of the
Company's common stock for the twenty previous trading days. In January 2000,
the Note was cancelled to Surge and replaced with a new note totaling
$4,100,000.

In December 1999, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with
Surge Components, Inc. ("Surge") whereby Surge would acquire the assets of the
Company in exchange for stock to be treated as a "tracking stock" covering the
assets sold by the Company. Among other conditions, the completion of the
acquisition is conditioned on the approval of both Companies' stockholders and
successful completion of due diligence. The Company issued 1,000,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock for investment banking services in connection with
this transaction.

In February 2000, the Company replaced the previous Subordinated Convertible
Promissory Note ("Convertible Note") with Surge totaling up to $6,250,000.
Through February 29, 2000, $2,165,876 has been loaned to Global, and the
remaining $4,084,124 may be loaned to Global, upon satisfaction of certain
conditions. The Convertible Note accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum.
Upon completion of the Company's acquisition by Surge, the Convertible Note and
all accrued interest will be forgiven. If the acquisition does not occur by July
30, 2000, Surge, at its own discretion, may convert this note into the common
stock of the Company on a dollar for dollar basis at a conversion price equal to
90% of the average closing price of the Company's Common Stock for the preceding
20 trading days or Surge may demand repayment. As the acquisition was not
consummated by July 31, 2000, the parties, by oral consent, agreed to extend the
agreement until October 1, 2000. The Convertible Note is secured by the pledging
of certain shares of stock owned by the President of the Company.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
----------------------------------------------

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission released Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB
101"). SAB 101 summarizes the interpretations of certain revenue recognition
issues by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The guidance
provided by SAB 101 has been adopted effective January 1, 2000. The Company does
not expect there to be a material impact of this standard in its financial
statements.

17
<PAGE>

INFLATION

The effects of inflation have lessened in recent years as indicated by
the average consumer price index, which has been below 3% in each of the past
two years. The Company has generally been able to offset the impact of rising
costs through purchase price reductions. As a result, inflation has not had, nor
is it expected to have, a significant impact on the Company's business. However,
inflation and changing interest rates have had a significant effect on the
economy in general and, therefore, could affect the Company's future operating
results.

Item 7. Financial Statements.

The Financial Statements to be provided pursuant to this Item 7 begin on page
F-1 of this Report, following Part III hereof.

Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and
Financial Disclosures.

In December, 1998, the Company retained as auditors, Infante, Lago & Company, as
that firm was familiar with dealing with Latin American companies. Prior
thereto, the Company's auditors were Schvaneveldt & Company. The change was not
due to any disagreement in accounting principles or practices followed by the
Company. On December 2, 1999, the Registrant was informed by Jesus Lago, CPA,
the engagement partner responsible for Global DataTel, Inc.'s audit, that he had
resigned from the firm of Infante, Lago & Company and that the Registrant must
retain (i) Roger Infante, CPA, (ii) Mr. Lago's new firm, the DeCarlo group or
(iii) a new accounting firm. On December 16, 1999, the registrant retained the
firm of Seligson & Giannatasio as its new auditors. A Form 8-K was filed with
regard to this change on January 10, 2000.

Item 9. Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons;

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
----------------------------------------

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
GLOBAL DATATEL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Global DataTel,
Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 1999, and the related
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, cash flows and
changes in shareholders' deficiency for the two years then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global DataTel, Inc.
and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for the two years ended December 31, 1999, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 16 to the
financial statements, the Company's working capital deficiency raises
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

Our report dated February 14, 2000 on the financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 1998 included a qualification as to the Company's opening
inventory. Subsequent to the issuance of the report, we obtained information
enabling us to complete our audit procedures and remove the qualification.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

Organization - Global DataTel, Inc. ("the Company") was originally incorporated
under the laws of the State of Utah on April 17, 1980 as La Plate Oil and
Mining, Inc. On October 1,1982 the Company changed its name to Gold Coast
Resources, Inc. ("Gold Coast"). On September 30, 1998 Gold Coast purchased 100%
of the outstanding common stock of International Computer Resources ("ICR") (a
Florida corporation) and Mantenimiento Electronico de Sistemas Limited ("MES")
(a Colombian corporation). On December 2, 1998 the company changed its name to
Global DataTel, Inc.

On November 30, 1998, the Company purchased three unrelated companies in
Colombia, South America, DLR & CIA ("DLR"), Micro Star LTD. ("Micro"), and CASA
Informatica "("Casa"). The companies acquired are also in the business of
providing software and hardware solutions to companies in their markets. Prior
to the acquisition of ICR and MES, Gold Coast Resources was a development stage
company that, through a wholly-owned subsidiary The Travel Agents Hotel Guide,
Inc. ("Hotel"), was engaged in the business of developing a hotel guide selling
advertising space to the hotel and travel industry. Gold Coast sold Hotel on
December 14, 1998.

The Company currently engages primarily in the sale and distribution of medium
and high-end computer and software products, including Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) suites, as well as, providing information technology solutions
and support to medium and large business clients primarily in Central and South
America. The Company has distribution agreements with International Business
Machines ("IBM"), Lotus, Cisco Systems, and JBA.

During 1999, MES, DLR and Micro were merged into Casa. The combined entity then
changed its name to Global Datatel de Colombia, Inc. ("GDC"). In addition, the
Company commenced internet operations as an Internet service/content provider
through its wholly-owned subsidiary of ehola.com SA and ehola.com, Inc.

The following is summary of the significant policies followed in the preparation
of the consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
During 1998, the financial statements include the operations of ICR and MES for
the period beginning September 30, 1998 and CASA, DLR and Micro for the period
beginning November 30, 1998.

Cash - For purposes of cash flows the company considers investments of three
months or less as cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition - Revenues from services are recognized as the services are
performed. Revenues from the sales and installation of hardware packages are
recognized when the installation is substantially completed and operational.

Change in Fiscal Year - Effective April 1, 1997, the Company changed its fiscal
year to end on December 31.

Inventories - Inventories are principally composed of finished goods and are
stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

Accounts Receivable - The Company periodically reviews the adequacy of the
allowance for doubtful accounts and maintains the allowance for doubtful
accounts at a level which management believes is sufficient to cover potential
credit losses.

Prepaid Taxes - Prepaid taxes are comprised of the advanced payment of income
taxes to the Colombian government required to be paid through the normal course
of business on the Company's sales and purchasing activities.

Property, Plant and Equipment - Property, plant, and equipment is recorded at
cost. Depreciation is generally on a straight-line basis over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets as follows:

Building and improvements 20 years
Furniture and office equipment 5 - 10 years
Computer and EDP equipment 5 years
Transportation equipment 5 years

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that effect 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 reported
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Concentration of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentration of credit risk consists primarily of accounts
receivable and debt securities. Concentration of credit with respect to accounts
receivable as of December 31, 1998 was limited to an amount due from an agency
of the Colombian Government, which represented approximately 22% of the net
accounts receivable. Subsequent to year-end this balance was paid. As of
December 31, 1999, no one customer accounted for more than five percent of
outstanding accounts receivable. The Company provides for estimated credit
losses at the time of sale based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of
specific customers, historical trends and other information.

Fair Value - The Company has a number of financial instruments, none of which is
held for trading purposes. The Company estimates that the fair value of all
financial instruments at December 31, 1999 and 1998, does not differ materially
from the aggregate carrying values of these financial instruments recorded in
the accompanying balance sheets. The estimated fair value amounts have been
determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate
valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessarily required in
interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value, and,
accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that
the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

Investments - The Company utilizes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") Number 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" to account for its investments. The Company's investments consist
primarily of a convertible debenture from a publicly traded company and are
being reported as held to maturity securities. Held to maturity securities are
carried at amortized cost. Held to maturity securities declines in fair value
below amortized cost that are other than temporary, are included in earnings.

Goodwill - Goodwill, which represents the excess of acquisition costs over the
net assets acquired in the business combinations, is amortized on the
straight-line method over 20 years. The carrying amount of goodwill is reviewed
annually using estimated undiscounted cash flows for the businesses acquired
over the remaining amortization periods.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Loss Per Share - Loss per share for all periods was computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares
outstanding and also is adjusted for the assumed conversion of shares issuable
upon exercise of options and other convertible securities. The Company had
losses in each of the years presented and, accordingly, common stock equivalents
are excluded as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes - The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries file a consolidated income
tax return. Foreign subsidiaries are not consolidated. The Company has adopted
SFAS 109 and this pronouncement caused no material changes on the financial
statements. The provision for income taxes is primarily related to the
reconciliation of the taxes paid and owed by the foreign subsidiaries in
accordance with the taxing rules and regulation promulgated by the Colombian
government as of December 31, 1999. The Company has approximately $1,900,000 of
net operating loss carryforwards, which are subject to certain restrictions and
limitations based on the Company's ownership changes during 1998. The Company
also has approximately $1,300,000 in net operating losses subsequent to the
change in ownership, which may be used to offset income through 2019. A
valuation allowance has been provided against the benefits available from these
net operating losses due to the uncertainty regarding its realization.

Translation of Foreign Currency - The Company's Colombian subsidiaries are
translated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52
(SFAS No. 52), which requires that foreign currency assets and liabilities be
translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Results
of operations are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing during
the period. For purposes of SFAS No. 52, the Company considers the Colombian
Peso to be the functional currency. The effects of unrealized exchange
fluctuations on translating foreign currency assets and liabilities into U.S.
dollars are accumulated as the cumulative translation adjustment in
shareholders' equity. Realized gains and losses from foreign currency
transactions are included in the results of operation for the period.
Fluctuations arising from intercompany transactions are long term in nature and
are accumulated as cumulative translation adjustments.

Year 2000 Computer Readiness - Unaudited - The Company is in the process of
evaluating the effect of the year 2000 ("Y2K") on its computer systems. The
Company believes that the cost of upgrading its systems will not materially
affect the operations but will constitute the normal periodic ongoing cost of
maintaining and improving its computer system.

GLOBAL DATATEL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company has initiated communications with all of its significant suppliers
to determine the extent to which the Company's operations are vulnerable to
those third parties failure to remediate their own Y2K issues. There can be no
guarantee that the system of such companies or payors will be timely converted
and would not have an adverse impact on the Company. Additionally, general
problems such as electric power, water and sewer etc., are beyond the ability of
the Company to determine, and would affect most other companies in the
geographic area of Colombia. The Company experienced virtually no Y2K problems
in January 2000 and does not expect to incur any material costs.

Prior Period Adjustments - During the current year, certain errors were detected
in the previously reported goodwill resulting from the 1998 acquisitions of ICR
and MES. An adjustment of approximately $948,000 was made to reduce goodwill at
the beginning of the year. A corresponding adjustment was made to reduce the
previously reported amortization expense in 1998 by approximately $11,000. As
the result of current and previous losses, there is no resulting change in the
income tax provision for 1998.

Subsequent to the issuance of the 1999 financial statements, it was determined
that costs associated with the treatment of costs related to the purchase of the
Company's assets should have been expensed as incurred. As a result net loss and
net loss per share are greater than the previously issued financial statements
by $2,000,000 and $.09, respectively.

Reclassifications - Certain prior year information has been reclassified to
conform to the current year's presentations.

NOTE 2 - BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

All acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method. The results
of operations of the acquired businesses are included in the consolidated
financial statements from the dates of acquisition. In all of the acquisitions,
100% of the acquired companies were purchased.

ICR - On September 30, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock
of ICR in exchange for 105,000 shares of convertible preferred stock valued at
$0.001 per share and 4,243,843 shares of common stock valued at $.20 per share.
The net assets acquired and liabilities assumed approximated $90,000 and
$190,000, respectively. The transaction has been recorded as a reverse
acquisition.

NOTE 2 - BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS (Continued)
------------------------------------------

MES - On September 30, 1998, the Company acquired MES for 357,143 common shares
of the Company's common stock, valued at the book value of MES. The net assets
acquired and liabilities assumed approximated $1,152,000 and $913,000,
respectively.

DLR - On November 30, 1998, the Company acquired DLR for $300,000 ($100,000 due
at closing and five monthly installments of $40,000 thereafter, as defined) in
cash, and 60,000 shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $3.00 per
share. The net assets acquired and liabilities assumed approximated $3,527,000
and $1,786,000, respectively. The acquisition resulted in goodwill of $502,000.
The Company did not make the payments as required by the purchase agreement and
is in default on the remaining obligation. In March 2000, the remaining payments
under the agreement were placed in escrow while the parties negotiate a
settlement.

MICRO - On November 30, 1998, the Company acquired Micro for $150,000, payable
in six consecutive monthly payments from the date of closing, and 70,000 shares
of the Company's common stock, valued at $3.00 per share. The net assets
acquired and liabilities assumed approximated $890,000 and $748,000,
respectively. The purchase resulted in goodwill of $218,000. In March 2000, the
remaining payments under the agreement were made.

CASA - On November 30, 1998, the Company acquired Casa for $840,000, payable in
9 monthly payments of $93,333 commencing at the date of the closing and 392,000
shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $3 per share. The net assets
acquired and liabilities assumed approximated $3,300,000 and $1,800,000,
respectively. The purchase resulted in goodwill of approximately $512,000. In
March 2000, the remaining payments under the agreement were made.

The Company issued non-interest-bearing promissory notes to the shareholders of
DLR, Casa and Micro for the unpaid cash portion of the consideration for the
acquisitions. The terms of the notes for the individual companies acquired are
as presented in the preceding paragraphs and the amount due is reflected as
notes payable to stockholders in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as
of December 31, 1998. The realization of a major portion of the assets in the
accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 1998 is dependent upon continued
operations of the Company, and their ability to raise additional capital.
Management believes that actions presently taken to revise the Company's
operating and financial requirements will provide the opportunity for the
Company to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 4 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE
------------------------------

On December 14, 1998, the Company sold Hotel to Ameriresource Technologies, Inc.
in exchange for a convertible debenture totaling $3,350,000. The debenture
accrues interest at the rate of 7% per annum and is due December 15, 2001. The
Company accounts for the debenture pursuant to SFAS Number 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". The Company has deemed these
securities to be "held-to-maturity" securities as defined by the standard and
account for the debenture at amortized cost. Although the debenture is
guaranteed by a third party, there are sufficient collectability and enforcement
concerns to cause a permanent reduction in its market value. This security has
therefore been totally reserved and charged against the gain associated with the
sale of Hotel.

NOTE 5 - SHORT TERM BORROWINGS, BANKS
-------------------------------------

The Colombian subsidiaries obtain short-term financing from banks and financing
companies. Interest on such obligations currently range between 18% and 28%
annually and is determined by the financing source subsequent to the
availability of funds. A portion of these obligations are personally guaranteed
by officers of the companies and the balance owed as of December 31, 1999
approximated $450,000.

ICR has a $100,000 line of credit, at 10% interest, personally guaranteed by the
majority stockholder of the Company, for working capital purposes. As of
December 31, 1999, the balance owed on this line of credit was approximately
$94,711.

The Colombian subsidiaries have credit facilities from IBM for the purchase of
computer equipment which are guaranteed by certain shareholders and officers of
the Colombian subsidiaries. The credit facilities at December 31, 1999
approximated $1,200,000 for Casa, $600,000 for DLR, and $150,000 for Micro.

NOTE 6 - DEFERRED REVENUES
--------------------------

Deferred revenues are comprised mainly of customer deposits on orders. The
nature of the Colombian operations requires a delay between the time that an
order is placed and the completion of the contract. Consequently, the Company
requests deposits on such arrangements.

NOTE 7 - MORTGAGE PAYABLE - BANK
--------------------------------

On March 14, 1996, DLR obtained a mortgage from a bank for the purchase of their
office facility in Bogota, Colombia. The mortgage expires on March 2012 and had
an initial principal balance of $99,400. The mortgage agreement allows for an
increase in the outstanding principal balance due to monetary adjustments as
mandated by the Colombian Central Bank. Therefor, management of the Company can
not reasonably determine minimum future payments. Although payments are due
currently, the entire balance has been classified as long-term because
management cannot determine, at this time, the amount that is due and payable in
the current year.

NOTE 8 - CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
------------------------------------

In October 1999, the Company issued a subordinated Convertible Promissory Note
(the "Note") in the amount of $1,000,000 to Surge Components Inc. ("Surge"). The
Note is due on June 1, 2000 and accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum.
Upon the successful completion of the asset purchase by Surge, the Note is
canceled and all interest accrued to date will be forgiven. If the asset
purchase with Surge is not completed by February 28, 2000 or is not approved by
the shareholders of both companies, Surge at its sole discretion may convert the
Note into common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to 90% of the
average closing price of the Company's common stock for the twenty previous
trading days. In January 2000, the Note was canceled and replaced with a new
note totaling $4,100,000 (Note 9).

NOTE 9 - SUBORDINATED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
-------------------------------------------------

In February 2000, the Company entered into a Subordinated Convertible Promissory
Note ("Convertible Note") with Surge for $4,100,000. The Convertible Note
accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum. Upon completion of the Company's
acquisition by Surge, the Convertible Note and all accrued interest will be
forgiven. If the acquisition does not occur by October 1, 2000, as extended by
oral consent. Surge, at its own discretion, may convert this note into the
common stock of the Company on a dollar for dollar basis at a conversion price
equal to 90% of the average closing price of the Company's Common Stock for the
preceding 20 trading days or Surge may demand repayment. The Convertible Note is
secured by the pledge of certain shares of stock owned by the President of the
Company. In February 2000, the Note was canceled and replaced with a new note
totaling up to $6,250,000.

NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
---------------------------------------

On January 1, 1997, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a two-year lease
with an indefinite renewal option for office facilities in Bogota, Colombia. The
lease calls for an approximate negotiable increase of 18% at renewal. The lease
can be canceled by either party without prior notification.

On December 9, 1996, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a one-year lease
for office facilities in Medellin, Colombia. The lease is personally guaranteed
by one of the officers of the Company and a bond for approximately 50% of the
annual lease was submitted to the lessor. The lease can be terminated by either
party without prior notification and calls for negotiated annual increases.

On August 16, 1997, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a one-year lease
with an indefinite renewal option for office space in Cali, Colombia. The lease
is personally guaranteed by an officer of the Company. The lease calls for
negotiated annual increases and can be canceled by non-fulfillment of the lease
terms.

On May 4, 1998, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a six-month agreement
to rent office space in Medellin, Colombia. The lease calls for an indefinite
renewal with annual increases to be tied to the legal inflation rate. The lease
may be canceled upon non-fulfillment of the lease terms with three months prior
notification.

On March 1, 1993, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a lease agreement
expiring in April 2000 to rent office space in Bogota, Colombia. The lease calls
for an indefinite renewable option.

On January 1, 1999, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a three-year lease
for office and warehouse space in Delray Beach, Florida. The lease is renewable
for an additional three years with annual increases of 5%.

As of December 31, 1999, the minimum lease obligation for leases that management
can determine to have a minimum obligation is as follows:

Additional 1998 Common Stock Issuances - During 1998, Gold Coast issued
1,198,500 shares of its common stock to officers, directors, employees and
others for services rendered. The shares were valued at $.20 per share. During
1998, Gold Coast issued 2,870,000 shares of its common stock for cash at $.20
per share pursuant to Rule 504 of Regulation D. During 1998, Gold Coast issued
3,500,000 shares of its common stock to an officer/director/major shareholder
for his minority interest in the Travel Agent's Hotel Guide, Inc. The shares
were valued at $0.10.

Gold Coast issued 1,000,000 Class F Preferred shares for 80% of the outstanding
shares of Hotel. The Class F shares are redeemable for common stock based on the
performance guidelines established by the exchange agreement dated October 7,
1997. The Agreement specifies that for each $15,000 of earnings by Hotel, it may
redeem one share of class F preferred for 10 shares of common stock subject to
the rules and regulations of Rule 144. In the event that no earnings are
produced within a five-year period the preferred shares shall become
non-convertible.

On August 14, 1998, Gold Coast rescinded the mergers with the above subsidiaries
and canceled the preferred shares previously issued to each of these entities.

Additional 1999 Common Stock Issuances - On February 5, 1999 the Company
completed an offering under Rule 504 of Regulation D for 100,000 shares of its
common stock at $3.00 per share. The offering was subscribed to in full by a
stockholder, and the Form D was timely filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

In December 1999, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares for investment banking
services provided in connection with the Company's acquisition by Surge
Components, Inc.

Stock Options - In April 1999, the Company entered into an option agreement with
a consultant, in partial payment for services rendered. The agreement grants
250,000 shares of the Company's common stock, at an exercise price of $5.75 per
share. The options are non-dilutive. To date, no options have been exercised.

1999 Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Options Plan

In 1999, the Company adopted the 1999 Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Option
Plan ("Option Plan"). The plan provides for the grant of options to employees of
the Company and its subsidiaries to purchase an aggregate of 2,650,000 common
shares.

Option Plan activity is summarized as follows:

Weighted Average
Shares Exercise Price

Options outstanding - January 1, 1999 -- --
Granted 1,000,000 $ 7.12
Exercised -- --
----------

Options outstanding - December 31, 1999 1,000,000 $ 7.12
==========

Options exercisable - December 31, 1999 1,000,000 $ 7.12
==========

In March 2000, the Company granted options to purchase 550,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock to an officer of the Company. The options are exercisable
for a three year period at an exercise price of $.52 per share. The options were
exercised in March 2000 using the cashless method into 492,800 shares of the
Company's common stock.

In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation". The Company currently accounts for its stock-based compensation
plans using the accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Since the Company is not required
to adopt the fair value based recognition provisions prescribed under SFAS No.
123, it has elected only to comply with the disclosure requirements set forth in
the statement which includes disclosing pro forma net income and earnings per
share as if the fair value based method of accounting had been applied. The pro
forma net income and earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 1999
would have been $(9,120,837) and $(.41) had the new method been applied.

Compensation to non-employees is accounted for based on the fair value of the
consideration received or the fair market value of the equity instruments
issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of the grant using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions: expected volatility of 94.34% for awards granted in 1999; risk free
interest rate of 6.75%; and expected lives of 3 years.

The effects of applying SFAS 123 in the above pro forma disclosures are not
indicative of future amounts as they do not include the effects of awards
granted prior to 1997. Additionally, future amounts are likely to be affected by
the number of grants awarded since additional awards are generally expected to
be made at varying amounts.

NOTE 12 - INDUSTRY SEGMENT AND OPERATIONS BY GEOGRAPHIC AREAS

The Company operates predominantly in one industry segment, computer systems
design and hardware sales. The Company has two geographic groups, the U.S.

NOTE 12 - INDUSTRY SEGMENT AND OPERATIONS BY GEOGRAPHIC AREAS (Continued)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company has only one significant supplier, IBM de Colombia, which accounted
for approximately 60% of the total purchases made during 1999 and 1998.

NOTE 13 - SALE OF SUBSIDIARY
----------------------------

The Travel Agents Hotel Guide was a publication being developed by Gold Coast
and the former management of the Company for use by travel agents in order to
advertise and sell hotel rooms primarily throughout the United States. Gold
Coast acquired the publication rights, logo, client lists and business concept
from the former president of Hotel by issuing approximately 4,600,000 shares of
common stock of Gold Coast. A portion of these shares represent shares issued in
exchange for the canceled preferred stock previously issued.

On December 14, 1998, the Company sold Hotel for $3,350,000 in the form of a
convertible debenture issued by Ameriresources Technologies, Inc., a publicly
traded company, and guaranteed by Lexington Sales, Inc. (Note 4). The
accompanying statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1998
reflect discontinued operations, the loss from operations of approximately
$629,000 and the gain on sale of the subsidiary of approximately $2,000,000,
less amount reserved of $3,350,000.

NOTE 14 - INCOME TAXES
----------------------

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 15 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
------------------------------------

Prior to being purchased by the Company, the Colombian subsidiaries transacted
business with each other. Transactions among the subsidiaries were limited to
sales of equipment, which totaled approximately $50,000 during 1998 prior to
being acquired by the Company.

NOTE 16 - OPERATING RISKS
-------------------------

As substantially all of the Company's operations are currently conducted in
Colombia, the Company is subject to special consideration and significant risks
not typically associated with Companies operating in North America and Western
Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political,
economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company's
results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social
conditions in Colombia, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to
laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion,
remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation among other things. Since
its working capital has been limited, obligations and commitments have gone
unfulfilled. In order to fund the operations of GDC and support the development
and marketing of Ehola, the Company entered into a subordinated convertible
promissory note with Surge (Note 9). This note was made in conjunction with the
proposed sale of the Company's operations to Surge.

NOTE 17 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
---------------------------

Proposed Debenture Offering - In February 1999, the Company signed a letter of
intent with Dirks & Company to act as the Managing Underwriter in connection
with a proposed offering of shares of Cumulative Convertible Debentures of the
Company. Dirks & Company intends to underwrite, on a firm commitment basis, such
number of Debentures which will result in gross proceeds of approximately $50
million. A firm commitment does not guarantee that the underwriter will fund the
proposed offering, since their commitment is not known until the twenty day
waiting period following the SEC approved registration has been filed. As of
this date no registration document relating to this proposed offering has been
filed and management has had no contact with the underwriter for several months.

Asset Purchase Agreement - In December 1999, the Company entered into an asset
purchase agreement with Surge whereby Surge would acquire the assets of the
Company in exchange for stock to be treated as a "tracking stock" covering the
assets sold by the Company. Among other conditions, the completion of the
acquisition is conditioned on the approval of both Companies' stockholders and
successful completion of due diligence.
