                    Report of Independent Public Accountants

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
NorStar Group, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
NorStar Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2000, and the related
condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six and three months
ended June 30, 2000 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2000. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

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

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

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31,
1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for
the year then ended which are not presented herein, and in our report dated
March 13, 2000, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated
financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1999, is
fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance
sheet from which it has been derived.

The accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six and
three months ended June 30, 1999 and cash flows for the six months ended June
30, 1999 were not audited or reviewed by us and, accordingly, we do not express
an opinion or any other form of assurance on them.

              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)



Note 1 - Unaudited interim financial statements:

               In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
               condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all
               adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary
               to present fairly the financial position of NorStar Group, Inc.
               and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2000, and
               their results of operations for the six and three months ended
               June 30, 2000 and 1999 and cash flows for the six months ended
               June 30, 2000 and 1999. Information included in the condensed
               consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1999 has been
               derived from, and certain terms used herein are defined in, the
               audited financial statements of the Company as of December 31,
               1999 and for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 (the
               "Audited Financial Statements") included in the Company's Annual
               Report on Form 10-KSB (the "10-KSB") for the year ended December
               31, 1999 that was previously filed with the United States
               Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Pursuant to the
               rules and regulations of the SEC, certain information and
               disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
               accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
               been condensed or omitted from these condensed consolidated
               financial statements unless significant changes have taken place
               since the end of the most recent fiscal year. Accordingly, these
               unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be
               read in conjunction with the Audited Financial Statements and the
               other information also included in the 10-KSB.

               The results of the Company's operations for the six and three
               months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
               results of operations for the full year ending December 31, 2000.

               As of June 30, 2000, the Company had not generated significant
               revenues on a sustained basis, and its operations had generated
               losses and cash flow deficiencies from its inception, although a
               substantial portion of the losses was attributable to noncash
               charges for the fair value of shares issued for services,
               compensation and other expenses. As of June 30, 2000, the Company
               had a working capital deficiency of approximately $73,500;
               however, the Company had a cash balance of $48,496 and its only
               significant current liabilities were attributable to noninterest
               bearing demand notes payable to its stockholders which had an
               aggregate balance of $113,309. Management is attempting to obtain
               additional financing for the Company to enable it to fully
               develop its web services as initially planned through the
               issuance of equity securities, loans from financial institutions
               and/or strategic alliances. Management believes, but cannot
               assure, that the Company's stockholders will not require the
               repayment of the demand notes and that the Company will be able
               to continue to operate on at least a limited basis during the
               year ending June 30, 2001 without any additional financing.
               However, if the Company is not able to obtain additional
               financing, its operations may have to be curtailed during that
               period and, eventually, it may not be able to continue to
               operate.

              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)


Note 2 - Earnings (loss) per common share:

               As further explained in Note 2 of the notes to the Audited
               Financial Statements, the Company presents basic earnings (loss)
               and, if appropriate, diluted earnings per share in accordance
               with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
               Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share". Diluted per share
               amounts have not been presented in the accompanying unaudited
               condensed consolidated statements of operations because (i) the
               Company had net losses for the six and three months ended June
               30, 2000 and, accordingly, the assumed effects of the exercise of
               options granted in April 2000 (see Note 5 herein) would have been
               anti-dilutive and (ii) the Company did not have any potentially
               dilutive common shares outstanding during the six and three
               months ended June 30, 1999.

Note 3 - Income taxes:

               As of June 30, 2000, the Company had net operating loss
               carryforwards of approximately $5,565,000 available to reduce
               future Federal taxable income which, if not used, will expire at
               various dates through 2020. The Company had no other material
               temporary differences as of that date. Due to the uncertainties
               related to, among other things, the changes in the ownership of
               the Company, which could subject those loss carryforwards to
               substantial annual limitations, and the extent and timing of its
               future taxable income, the Company offset the deferred tax assets
               attributable to the potential benefits of approximately
               $2,226,000 from the utilization of those net operating loss
               carryforwards by an equivalent valuation allowance as of June 30,
               2000.

               The Company had also offset the potential benefits from net
               operating loss carryforwards by equivalent valuation allowances
               during 1999. As a result of the increases in the valuation
               allowance of $40,000 and $477,000 during the six months ended
               June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $30,000 and $107,000
               during the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
               respectively, no credits for income taxes are included in the
               accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Note 4 - Stock option plan:

               On April 17, 2000, the Board of Directors approved a Stock Option
               Plan (the "Plan"), subject to ratification by the Company's
               stockholders, whereby up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company's
               common stock may be granted to key personnel in the form of
               incentive stock options and nonstatutory stock options, as
               defined under the Internal Revenue Code. Key personnel eligible
               for these awards may include all present and future employees of
               the Company and individuals who are consultants to the Company as
               well as nonemployee directors of the Company. Under the Plan, the
               exercise price of options must be at least 100% of the fair
               market value of the common stock on the date of grant (the
               exercise price of an incentive stock option for an optionee that
               holds more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes
               of stock of the Company must be at least 110% of the fair market
               value on the date of grant). The maximum term of any stock option
               granted may not exceed ten years (or five years for an optionee
               that holds 10% or more of the Company's stock) from the date of
               grant.

               As of August 8, 2000, no stock options had been awarded under the
               Plan.

Note 5 - Commitments:

               Software development contracts:
                  During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company entered
                  into contracts which obligate it to make payments aggregating
                  approximately $1,100,000 for services to be rendered
                  subsequent to June 30, 2000 in connection with the on-going
                  development of its web service.

               Employment agreements:
                  On April 17, 2000, the Company entered into agreements with
                  three consultants that will expire on April 17, 2001. Under
                  these agreements, the consultants will, among other things,
                  assist the Company in finding businesses located primarily in
                  England, other European countries and the Northeastern section
                  of the United States that will advertise in and/or link to the
                  Company's online community. The three consultants received
                  options to purchase a total of 1,300,000 shares of the
                  Company's common stock that will be exercisable at $.40 per
                  share at any time during the term of the consulting agreements
                  as consideration for their services.

                  The Company did not record any compensation expense in
                  connection with the issuance of the options to the consultants
                  because the estimated aggregate value of the options
                  determined by the Company using a fair value based method of
                  accounting for stock options, as required by Statement of
                  Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
                  Stock-Based Compensation," was not material.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed
financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

OVERVIEW

General

         The Company was originally incorporated in March 1961 under the name
Florist Accounting Service, Inc. and changed its name in 1971 to Luxor Group
N.A., Inc and in 1992 to NorStar Group, Inc. In April 1992, NorStar acquired 680
acres (17 gold mining claims) in Nevada. NorStar is presently seeking a joint
venture partner to work its mining claims. During the period from April 1992
through March 31, 2000 the Company acquired and/or began to develop and dispose
of, several businesses and certain other investments. Since 1999, the Company is
creating an Internet online community of "One Stop Shopping" for products,
entertainment, education and business services from a network of providers.
NorStar's portal will provide the subscriber with access to several web
browsers, a directory of thousands of stores, an Internet shopping mall, three
dimensional virtual reality chat rooms, forums, game rooms, a virtual reality
dating service, business conference rooms using virtual reality chat room
technology, specialty advertising rooms with virtual reality activities, and
global e-mail service which can be accessed through the web anywhere in the
world.

Plan of Operation

         The Company's business strategy is comprised of the following:

         Membership. The Company intends to offer membership to the 100 million
consumers who currently have, or who will have some form of access to the
Internet. Consumers subscribing to the Company's network will be offered
discounts for products and services through the Company's provider network. The
Company's strategy is to address the trend toward rising out of pocket costs by
bringing together a provider network that offers quality products and services
at reduced prices. The Company believes that by having access to an extensive
multi-service provider network in a region its members will be able to receive
quality services and products at less than market prices. As a result, the
Company believes that it can establish a market niche where the discounts
obtained by the membership will far outweigh the cost of membership to join the
Company's network. The Company's discounts are designed not to be related in any
way to the dollar amount of purchases, volume of buying or products so members
will not be subject to any minimum requirements or other restrictions. The
member is simply being provided these programs based on the willingness of
service and product providers to offer their services and products to customers
of the Company at a discount.

         Providers. The foundation of the Company's business will be the
development and maintenance of a network of providers comprised of
manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and service providers. The Company intends
that providers who participate in the Company's network will receive some of the
following benefits, including but not limited to: elimination of paper order
form preparation and supporting


<PAGE>



documentation, reduction of bad debt, new customers with no additional
advertising expense, and more efficient utilization of personnel and equipment.
The national and regional marketing planned by the Company should give providers
an increased level of exposure. The Company will also contract with reliable
suppliers who offer computer network accessible products and services. It is the
Company's objective to establish a national network of providers within three
years through direct contracts, affiliations with national organizations and
other regional networks. The Company anticipates having an appropriate number of
providers under contract and available on the net by the first quarter of 2001.
The distribution method of these products and services to holders of membership
will be via the Internet. No assurances can be given that the Company will be
successful in establishing a national network. The failure to establish a
national network would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.

         The Cybervisor(TM) IPD (Interactive Personal Display). The Company
intends to complete the development of the Cybervisor (TM), a head mounted
display unit with interactive virtual reality capabilities by the fourth quarter
of 2000. The Company plans to aggressively market the Cybervisor (TM) for home,
business and school use. The Cybervisor (TM) IPD will allows the consumer to
interact in a fully immersive synthetic 3-dimensional environment. The Company
plans to introduce three IPD models: The Cybervisor (TM), The Super Cybervisor
(TM), and the Cybervisor Jr.(TM). The Cybervisor (TM) is the Company's standard
model complete with high fidelity audio, built-in microphone and 360 degree
tracking. The Super Cybervisor (TM) has all of the same features as the standard
model and includes upgraded optics, sound and controls. The Cybervisor Jr.(TM)
Is a monocular IPD built in a head set style with high fidelity audio,
microphone and 360 degree tracking. The physical tooling developed for the
VeeAreCity Head Mounted Display ("HMD") appearance and certain patents will be
owned by the Company.

         VeeAreCity. Com. The Company has completed development of a new Web
based community called "VeeAreCity.Com". VeeAreCity.Com, Inc., a Delaware
corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("VeeAreCity") owns and
will operate the Web site.

         Cybernizer. The Company also plans to begin construction of its
"Cybernizer" a web pager. In addition, the Cybernizer will be a Internet
navigation tool that will include such features as voice chat and instant access
to all major search engines.

         The source for funding the research and development of Cybervisor (TM)
IPD, VeeAreCity.Com and Cybernizer will come from additional equity and/or debt
financing. No assurance can be given that the Company will raise the necessary
capital to complete this project, or if completed that it will be accepted in
the marketplace.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX AND THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000
COMPARED TO THE SIX AND THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999


         The Company had no revenues for the six and three months ended June 30,
2000 or the six and three months ended June 30, 1999. The Company does not
expect any revenues until the beginning of its fourth quarter when it expects
its game rooms and virtual reality chat rooms to be completed. The Company
expects revenues to primarily consist of advertising sales, pay-per-view usage
fees and annual membership fees for joining the Company's network. The cost for
an annual family member ship is $120. Selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased from $1,192,855 to $100,299 and from $267,916 to $74,874 for
the six and three months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the six and three
month months ended June 30, 2000, respectively. This decrease was attributable
to $1,177,168 and $258,000 of non-cash charges resulting from the issuance of
shares of common stock for services during the six and three months ended June
30, 1999, respectively as oppose to none for the six and three months ended June
30, 2000. As a result, the Company's


<PAGE>



net loss for the six and three months ended June 30, 2000, decreased in line
with the selling general and administrative expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At June 30, 2000, the Company had cash of $48,496 as compared to
working capital of $179,176 at December 31, 1999. This decrease in cash is a
result of selling, general and administrative expenses as well as software
development costs. Recently, the Company's only source of cash has been proceeds
received from the issuance of its shares of common stock. In July 1999, the
Company issued 4,400,000 shares of common stock for $550,000 in cash.

         On April 17, 2000, the Company entered into agreements with three
consultants that will expire on April 17, 2001. Under these agreements, the
consultants will, among other things, assist the Company in finding businesses
located primarily in England, other European countries and the Northeastern
section of the United States that will advertise in and/or link to the Company's
online community. The three consultants will receive options to purchase a total
of 1,300,000 shares of the Company's common stock, exercisable at $.40 per share
through the end of the terms of the consulting agreements, as consideration for
such services.

         During the six months ended June 30,2000, the Company entered into
contracts obligated it to expend approximately $1,100,000 for services rendered
in connection with the on-going development of its web services. In addition,
the Company's current sources of liquidity and cash are insufficient to satisfy
its cash need through the next twelve months. The Company will require
additional capital to fund its operations and pursue its business strategies.
The Company expects to raise or obtain additional capital through the sale of
securities and through the exercise of outstanding options. There can be no
assurance that additional financing will be available. If adequate funds are not
available, there will be a material adverse effect on the Company's business and
financial conditions.

         The Company does not believe that its business is subject to seasonal
trends or inflation. On an ongoing basis the Company will attempt to minimize
any effect of inflation on its operating results by controlling operating costs
and whenever possible, seeking to insure that subscription rates and usage fees
reflect increases in costs due to inflation.

         The Company believes the following trends, events and uncertainties
could have a material impact on their short-term and/or long-term liquidity. The
market for Internet discount services and product programs is relatively new and
is evolving rapidly. The Company's future growth is dependent upon its ability
to create, develop and distribute programs that are accepted by its clients as
an integral part of their business model for communicating with their targeted
audiences. Demand and market acceptance of discount products and service
programs is dependent upon a number of factors, including the growth in consumer
access to and acceptance of these programs, the willingness of service and
product providers to offer their services and products to customers of the
Company at a discount, the Company ability to develop and maintain distribution
channels to sell memberships to consumers. The failure of providers or consumers
to participate in the Company's programs or substantial increases in the
adequacy or availability of other programs could have a material and adverse
impact on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. In
addition, the Company does not have long term contracts and needs to establish
relationships with new vendors. As a result, providers of discounted services or
products to the Company's members may unilaterally reduce the scope of, or
terminate their relationships with the Company. The termination of the Company's
business relationship or a material reduction in the availability of services or
products from any of NorStar's significant providers or networks thereof or the
Company's failure to develop significant new provider relationships would
materially and adversely affect its business, operating results and financial
condition.

         The Company believes that within the market niche it seeks to develop,
the following known trends, events or uncertainties that have had or that are
reasonably expected to have a material impact on their net sales or revenues or
income from their continuing operations will include the following: (i) the
market for discounted products and services is characterized by rapid changes in
participating companies, consumers and service provider requirements and
preferences, new service and product introductions and evolving industry
standards that could render the Company's existing service practices and
methodologies obsolete; (ii) the Company's success will depend, in large part,
on its ability to improve its existing services, develop new services that
address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of the Company's
clients, and respond to technological advances, emerging industry standards and
practices, and competitive service offerings; and (iii) the Company may not be
successful in responding quickly, cost-effectively and sufficiently to these
developments. If the Company is unable, for technical, financial or other
reasons, to adapt in a timely manner in response to changing market conditions
or these requirements, its business, results of operations and financial
condition would be materially adversely affected.
