SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 16, 2000,  Quest Net Corp.  issued to James LLC 25,900,000  shares of
its common stock. The shares were issued as partial settlement of a lawsuit that
was filed  against  Quest on May 5, 2000 in the United  States  District  Court,
Southern District of New York, by James LLC (Case No. 00 Civ. 3467). The lawsuit
stemmed from the sale of common stock to James LLC for  $5,000,000.  The lawsuit
alleged  that the Company  breached  its contract of sale to James LLC by, among
other  things,  failing  to  register  the  common  stock,  and  failing  to pay
liquidated  damages for the  non-effectiveness  of the  registration  statement.
James LLC  demanded  damages  in  excess  of  $5,000,000.  Quest  also  issued a
Promissory Note in the principal sum of $3,500,000,  maturing December 31, 2001,
and bearing interest at the rate eight percent per annum.

In October 2000, the Company returned $391,818 of communication equipment not in

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

      Quest Net Corp., since inception, has been primarily engaged in  providing
Internet connectivity and the development of Internet tools for individuals  and
companies.

      The Company has  incurred  net losses  applicable  to common  shareholders
since inception through  September 30, 2000, of approximately  $18,530,400 after
discounts and dividends on preferred stock. The Company  anticipates that losses
from operations will continue due to the lack of working capital and the capital
necessary to fund its operations.

      The  Company's  costs  and  expenses  primarily  fall  into the  following
categories:

            o     Telecommunications and operations;
            o     Employee stock compensation plans;
            o     Employees' salaries
            o     General and administrative;
            o     Amortization and depreciation.

         Telecommunications     and     operating     expenses     consist    of
telecommunications,  including  the cost of local  telephone  lines and costs of
leased lines connecting the Internet and operations centers.

         Operating   expenses  also  include  employee  salaries  and  benefits,
equipment  costs,  office rent and utilities and customer  service and technical
support costs.

         Employee stock  compensation  plans consist of restricted  common stock
awards  and  options.  The  Company  has  utilized  its  restricted  stock as an
incentive to attract and keep qualified experienced key personnel.

         General and administrative expenses consist primarily of administrative
staff and related benefits.

         Amortization  expense primarily relates to the amortization of goodwill
and a non-compete agreement acquired in a purchase of an e-commerce provider and
certain  equipment  and  licenses  related to proposed  plans to offer  Internet
kiosks.  Amortization  expense is based on the  Company's  best  estimate of the
useful lives of the intangible assets.

                                       7

         Depreciation expense primarily relates to equipment and is based on the
estimated  useful lives of the assets ranging from three to five years using the
straight-line method for the equipment.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

REVENUE

      Revenue for the three ended September 30, 2000 was $114,090 as compared to
$47,745 for the same period in 1999.  The increase was primarily a result of the
inclusion of the telephone operations and associated revenues of CW Tel, Inc.,
which was acquired in March 2000, in the amount of $82,523.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

      Cost of revenue, was substantially comprised of leased and telephone lines
for the quarter  ended  September 30, 2000 was $72,500 as compared to $5,792 for
the same period in 1999.  The  increase was a result of a the increase of leased
lines expense of $61,781  associated  with the  telephone  operations of CW Tel,
Inc..

   Stock  based  compensation  decreased  by $257,000  during the quarter  ended
Septmeber 30, 2000 as compared  $257,000 to the quarter ended September 30, 1999
due to the scaled down operations of the Company,  the corresponding  decline in
manpower and the  non-issuance  of shares of common stock of the Company  during
the quarter ended September 30, 2000.


      Salaries  and  bonuses  decreased  by  $97,984  during the  quarter  ended
September 30, 2000 to $71,268,  as compared to $169,252 during the quarter ended
September  30,  1999,  due to a reduction in manpower as a result of scaled down
operations.

      General and  administrative  costs decreased to $214,074 the quarter ended
September  30, 2000 as compared  to  $275,657  for the same period in 1999.  The
decrease was  attributable  to cost  cutting  efforts  during the quarter  ended
September 30, 2000.

      Depreciation and amortization  decreased  by  $184,382  during the quarter
ended September 30,2000 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1999. The
decrease  was due a review  conducted by the Company at June 30, 2000 of the net
book value of its fixed  assets,  covenant  not to compete  associated  with its
acquisition of Wings Online,  Inc. and goodwill  associated with acquisitions of
CWTel,  Inc.  and AVX  Communications.  The review  indicated  that based on the
Company's level of operations,  the Company's  estimate of the recoverability of
such net book  values  was  significantly  impaired.  Accordingly,  the  Company
recognized a loss on impairment of $2,467,749 comprised of $714,851 attributable
to fixed  assets,  $179,633  attributable  to the  covenant  not to compete  and
$1,573,265 attributable to goodwill.

      Interest  expense  decreased by $31,230 during the quarter ended September
30, 2000 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1999. During the quarter
ended  September  30, 1999,  as a result of Company not  redeeming its preferred
stock outstanding on a timely basis due to a lack funds at the time, the Company
incurred $33,872 of interest expense.

      Interest  income  decreased by $35,368 during the quarter ended  September
30, 2000 as compared to the quarter  ended  September 30, 1999 due to a decrease
in money  market  investment  interest  earned on the  proceeds  of a  $5,000,00
private  placement which were totally  expended to fund the Company's  operating
and investing activities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      From inception,  the Company's  revenues have been insufficient to support
its  operations  and as a result its continued  existence is dependent  upon its
ability to resolve its liquidity problems,  principally by obtaining  additional
debt and/or equity financing. The Company currently has a working capital
deficiency  of  $2,627,029  as  compared  to working  capital of  $1,419,135  at
September  30,  1999 and a  Shareholders'  deficit of  $1,753,386  including  an
accumulated deficit of $18,530,383 at September 30, 2000. Additionally, the cash
used in  operations  for the quarter ended  September 30, 2000 totaled  $60,360.
These and other  factors  raise a  substantial  doubt as to the  ability  of the
Company  to  continue  as a going  concern.  In order to  continue  its  current
operations and effectuate its  operational  plan the Company will need to obtain
additional debt or equity financing.  In the event that the Company is unable to
obtain debt or equity  financing or are unable to obtain such financing on terms
and conditions  that are  acceptable,  the Company may have to cease or severely
curtail operations.

      The Company has  financed  its  operations  through  several  Regulation D
private placement transactions.

      The Company  anticipates  that the  balance of its  capital  needs for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 2001 will be approximately $ 250,000.

      In June 1999, the Company  finalized a Private Placement ( REG D 506) with
James LLC in the  amount of  $5,000,000,  of which the  company  received  a net
amount of $4,650.000. On May 5, 2000, a lawsuit was filed against Quest by James
LLC.  The lawsuit was settled On October 5, 2000,  the lawsuit was  settled.  As
part of the settlement,  the Company issued James LLC,  25,900,000 shares of its
common stock,  thereby giving James LLC a majority interest in the shares of the
Company's  common  stock then  outstanding  and a note in the  principal  sum of
$3,500,000 maturing on December 31, 2001 with interest at 8% per annum.

Limited Operating History; Continuing Operating Losses
------------------------------------------------------

         From  inception  to  September  30,  2000,  we  generated  revenues  of
approximately  $1,478,800  and  incurred  operating  expenses  of  approximately
$18,381,000. At September 30, 2000, we had a net loss of approximately $269,500.

The Company is Unable to Meet Capital Needs
-------------------------------------------

         At  present,  we are not  generating  enough  cash  flow  to  meet  our
operating  needs.  We have  downsized our  employees to three  full-time and one
part-time employee,  including our sole officer, Charles Wainer. The Company has
cut back on all but the  necessary  expenses,  however we still  cannot fund our
operations.

         We have been seeking additional capital to fund our operations,  and we
are seeking to obtain  additional  capital  through debt or equity  financing or
conventional loans. However, we have been unsuccessful to date due to our credit
rating and low stock price. If we cannot obtain  additional funds or a candidate
that wishes to take over the Company and infuse  additional  capital  within the
next  few  months,  the  Company  will be  forced  to cease  operations  or seek
protection by filing for Bankruptcy.

                                       9
<PAGE>

         Our lack of working  capital  has  necessitated  the sale of 20% of our
subsidiary  GlobalBot.  In  addition,  our Board of  Directors  has approved the
spin-off of GlobalBot in order to give  GlobalBot the financial and  operational
flexibility  to  take  advantage  of  significant  growth  opportunities  in the
E-commerce  business.  We believe that  separating  the two companies  will give
GlobalBot a better  access to capital,  and allow the  investment  community  to
measure GlobalBot's performance as a stand alone company.

         In November  2000,  we were forced to sell our dial-up  customers to an
unaffiliated  third party because be could no longer afford to maintain our dial
up lines.

         If we are unable to continue our operations,  your entire investment in
us  will be  lost.  See  "Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial
Condition  and Results of  Operations--Liquidity  and Capital  Resources"  for a
discussion of our working capital and capital expenditures.

We Have Had History Of A Limited  Customer  Base And This May Continue To Be The
Case.
         At  present,  our  customer  base is  limited.  Our  ability to operate
profitably  depends on increasing  our customer  base and  achieving  sufficient
gross profit margins.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to increase our
customer base or to operate profitably.

We Are Subject To All Of The Substantial Risks Inherent In An Internet Business,
Which May Harm Our Ability To Operate Successfully.

         We are subject to all of the substantial  risks inherent in an Internet
related business, any one of which may harm our ability to operate successfully.
These include, but are not limited to:

   Our inability to develop,  maintain  and/or increase levels of traffic on our
     Internet sites.
   Our inability to attract or retain customers.
   Our inability to generate significant Web-based revenue from our customers.
   Our failure to anticipate and adapt to a developing market and the level of
     use of the Internet and online services for the purchase of consumer
     products and in general.
   Our inability to upgrade and develop competitive systems and infrastructures.
   The failure of our servers and networking  systems to efficiently  handle our
     Web  traffic.
   Technical difficulties and system downtime or Internet brownouts.

If We Raise Addition Capital Through The Issuance Of Equity Or Convertible Debt,
Your Proportionate Interest Will Be Diluted.

         We will need more  working  capital to continue our  operations.  If we
raise additional  capital by issuing equity or convertible debt securities,  the
percentage ownership of our then-current  stockholders will be reduced, and such
securities may have senior rights, preferences, or privileges.

Our Data  Centers And The  Networks On Which We Rely Are  Sensitive To Harm From
Human  Factions  And  Natural   Disasters.   Any  Resulting   Disruption   Could
Significantly Damage Our Business And Reputation.

         Our reputation for providing  reliable  service  largely depends on the
performance  and  security  of  our  data  centers  equipment  and  the  network
infrastructure  on which we rely.  Our  customers  often  maintain  confidential
information on our servers.

                                       10
<PAGE>

         Our  data  centers,   equipment  and  networks,   and  our   customers'
information are subject to damage and unauthorized access from:

               Human error and tampering.
               Breaches of security.
               Natural disasters.
               Power loss.
               Capacity limitations.
               Software defects.
               Telecommunications failures.
               Intentional acts of vandalism, including computer viruses.

         All of which,  will cause  interruptions in service or reduced capacity
for our customers. These events could potentially jeopardize the security of our
customers'  confidential  information  such as  credit  card  and  bank  account
numbers.

         Despite  precautions  we have taken and plan to take, the occurrence of
any one of the  events  listed  above  or  other  unanticipated  problems  could
seriously damage our business and reputation and cause us to lose customers.

         The time  and  expense  required  to  eliminate  computer  viruses  and
alleviate  other security  problems  could be  significant  and could impair our
service quality.

We Could Not  Provide  Adequate  Service To Our  Customers  If We Were Unable To
Secure Or  Maintain  Sufficient  Network  Capacity  To Meet Our Future  Needs On
Reasonable Terms Or At All.

         Our  failure to achieve or maintain  high  capacity  data  transmission
could negatively  impact service levels to our existing  customers and limit our
ability to attract new customers, which would harm our business.


We Are Dependent On Internet Network Access Services We Receive From Others, Any
 Disruption Of These Services Could Harm Our Business

         We rely on third-party networks,  local telephone companies,  and other
companies to provide  data  communications  capacity.  Any  disruption  of these
services could cause our customers to find other  providers and prohibit us from
obtaining new customers.

Our Business Depends In Part On Our Network Service Provider's  Numerous Peering
 Relationships. Their Inability To Maintain Their Peering Relationships Could Be
 Costly And Harmful To Our Business.

         The  Internet is  composed  of many  Internet  service  providers  that
operate  their  own  networks  and  interconnect  with  other  Internet  Service
Providers at various peering points.

         If our network service  provider's  network or infrastructure  fails to
continue  to meet  industry  requirements  for  peering or it loses its  peering
relationships for any reason, our transmission rates could be reduced, resulting
in a decrease in the quality of service we provide to our customers.

Potential Lack Of Liquidity Of Our Common Stock

         Our common stock trades on the OTC Electronic  Bulletin  Board.  Stocks
trading on the OTC Electronic  Bulletin Board generally attract a smaller number
of market makers and a less active public market.

                                       11
<PAGE>

         Moreover,  since  our  common  stock is  traded  on the OTC  Electronic
Bulletin Board, investors may find it difficult to dispose of or obtain accurate
quotations as to the value of our common stock.

We Are Subject To Penny Stock Regulations And Restrictions

         Our stock is designated as a Penny Stock.  Such a designation  requires
any broker or dealer  selling such  securities to disclose  certain  information
concerning the transaction,  obtain a written agreement from the purchaser,  and
determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase such securities.
These  rules will  restrict  the  ability of Broker / Dealers to sell our common
stock and may affect the ability of Investors to sell their shares.

You May Not Be Able To Resell  Shares Of Our Stock At Or For More Than The Price
You Paid.

         The price of our common stock and Internet and telecommunication  stock
in general,  have recently  experienced  extreme  volatility that often has been
unrelated to the operating performance of any specific public companies.  During
the period from July 10, 1998 to November  13, 2000 the bid and ask price of our
common  stock has ranged from a high of $30.71 to a low of $.02.  If  continued,
these broad market and industry  fluctuations  may adversely  affect the trading
price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.  This
volatility may negatively impact the liquidity and value of your shares.

Our Articles of Incorporation Allow Authorization and Discretionary Issuance  of
 Preferred Stock

         Our Articles of Incorporation  authorize the issuance of "blank check",
preferred  stock.  The Board of  Directors  is  empowered,  without  stockholder
approval,  to designate  and issue  additional  series of  preferred  stock with
dividend, liquidation,  conversion, voting, or other rights, including the right
to issue  convertible  securities  with no limitations  on conversion.  Any such
designations and issuances, could:

       Adversely  affect the voting  power or other rights of the holders of our
         common stock.

       Substantially dilute the common shareholder's interest. Depress the price
       of our common stock.

         Our Certificate Of Incorporation  Gives The Board Of Directors The Sole
Authority To Issue "Blank Check"  Preferred Stock. The Issuance Of "Blank Check"
Preferred  Stock Could Have The Effect Of Delaying,  Deterring,  Or Preventing A
Merger, Take Over Or Change In Control Without Any Action By The Shareholders.

         The Board of Directors,  by the issuance of preferred stock, could make
it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if the acquisition would
be beneficial to you. You may not realize the premium  return that  stockholders
may realize in conjunction with corporate takeovers.

        The issuance of "blank check"  Preferred  stock could delay,  deter,  or
prevent  a take  over,  merger or change of  control  and May  Prevent  You From
Realizing A Premium Return.

We May Be Unable To Protect  Our  Intellectual  Property  Rights Or To  Continue
Using Intellectual Property That We License From Others.

         We rely and will rely on a combination of copyright, trademark, service
mark,  and trade  secret laws and  contractual  restrictions  to  establish  and
protect certain of our proprietary  rights. We have no patented  technology that
would bar  competitors  from our  market.  Despite  our  efforts to protect  our
proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain
and use our data or technology.

The Uncertainty Associated With Unproven Business Models

         Since Quest Net's business model is relatively new and unproven, we may
not be able to anticipate and adapt to a developing  market, or may be unable to
manage its network infrastructure  (including server, hardware, and software, to
handle our Internet  traffic,  or to  effectively  manage our rapidly  expanding
operations.

We  Lack  Unique  Services  Or  Market  Niche  In  An  Industry Characterized By
 Significant Overcapacity For Current Demand

         The market for Internet  access is highly  competitive  and  fragmented
with over 4,800  Internet  service  providers,  primarily  in local  markets and
averaging less than 5,000 customers  each.  Multiple  Internet access  providers
serve every local market we have entered,  or intend to enter. We offer the same
type of services as other Internet service providers. Due to our lack of working
capital in the past, we have not obtained any significant market share.

We Cannot Be Certain  That We Will Be Able To Compete With  Significant  Pricing
Pressure By Our Competitors.

         As a result of  increased  competition  in our  industry,  we expect to
encounter  significant  pricing  pressure.  We cannot be certain that we will be
able to offset the effects of any required price reductions  through an increase
in the number of our  subscribers,  higher revenues from our business  services,
cost reductions or otherwise,  or that we will have the resources to continue to
compete successfully.

We May Not Be Able To Compete In The Internet Service Market

         We  operate  in  the  Internet  services  market,  which  is  extremely
competitive.   Our  current  and  prospective  competitors  include  many  large
companies that have substantially greater market presence, financial, technical,
marketing,  and other resources than we have. We compete  directly or indirectly
with the following categories of companies:

        >> Established  online services,  such as America Online,  the Microsoft
           Network, CompuServe, and Prodigy.
        >> Local,  regional,  and national Internet service  providers,  such as
           MindSpring, Earthlink, Network, Inc., Internet America, and PSINet.
        >> National  telecommunications  companies,  such  as  AT&T  Corp.,  MCI
           WorldCom, Inc., Sprint, and GTE.
        >> Regional  Bell  operating  companies,   such  as  BellSouth  and  SBC
           Communications.

         Our  competition  is likely to increase.  We believe this will probably
happen  as large  diversified  telecommunications  and media  companies  acquire
Internet service  providers and as Internet service  providers  consolidate into
larger, more competitive companies.

         Diversified  competitors  may bundle other  services and products  with
Internet  connectivity  services,   potentially  placing  us  at  a  significant
competitive disadvantage. As a result, our business may suffer.

We May Not Be Able To Compete In The Long-Distance Telephone Market

         Quest, through its wholly owned subsidiary CWTel, is a reseller of long
distance  telephone  service.  We compete with long distance  carriers and other
long distance  resellers and providers,  including  large carriers such as AT&T,
MCI WorldCom and Sprint and new entrants to the long  distance  market.  Many of
our competitors are significantly  larger and have substantially  greater market
presence and financial, technical,  operational,  marketing and other resources.
We will face stiff price competition and may not be able to compete.

                                       13
<PAGE>

Quest Has Limited Marketing And Sales Capability.

         Because of our lack of working capital we have not had the resources to
develop a marketing and sales force.

Dependence On Qualified Personnel.

         Due to the specialized nature of our business,  we are highly dependent
upon our  ability  to attract  and retain  qualified  technical  and  managerial
personnel.  Our failure to recruit key technical and  managerial  personnel in a
timely  manner has been  detrimental  to our plan of  operations  and has had an
adverse  impact  upon our  business  affairs  and  finances.  Due to our lack of
operating capital, we have had to downsize our technical personnel to two, which
includes Charles Wainer, our sole officer.


The "Going Concern"  emphasis On The Report Of Our  Independent  Accountants May
Reduce Our Ability To Raise Additional Financing.

         The  report  of our  independent  accountants  on  our  June  30,  2000
Consolidated  Financial  Statements contains an explanatory  paragraph regarding
our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our independent  accountants  cited
our history of operating losses,  limited operating  history,  and negative cash
flow from  operations,  which  raised  substantial  doubt as to our  ability  to
continue as a going  concern.  This "going  concern",  emphasis  will reduce our
ability to raise additional financing.

Control By James LLC/Possible Change Of Control

         James LLC  beneficially  owns 54.3% of the outstanding  Common Stock of
the Company. Due to it stock ownership,  James LLC is in a position to elect all
of the Company's  directors and control  policies and operations of the Company.
This  could  effectuate  a change in  control of the  Company.  See,  "Principal
Shareholders".

No Payment Of Dividends

         Although we declared a  three-for-one  stock dividend in December 1998,
it is not anticipated that we will pay any cash dividends on our common stock in
the  future.  The Board of  Directors  intends  to follow a policy of  retaining
earnings, if any, for use in our business operations. As a result, the return on
your  investment in us will depend upon any  appreciation in the market price of
the common stock.

GENERAL

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

SECURE TRANSACTION INTERNATIONAL CORP. ET AL.

      In April 1999, Quest filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of the 17th
Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida against Secure Transaction
International Corp., its subsidiaries and principals, the accounting firm of
Margolis, Fink & Wichrowski, Barry A Fink, C.P.A., P.A., Mark V. Wichrowski,
C.P.A. and Barry A. Fink and Mark Wichrowski, individually, alleging violation
of the Florida securities laws, negligent misrepresentations, breach of contract
payment of accounts, and conversion.

      The  lawsuit  stems  from  several  contracts  entered  into  with  Secure
Transaction  and  its  subsidiaries  for  bandwidth,   consulting  services  and
software.  As payment for the services,  Secure Transaction and its subsidiaries
issued redeemable  preferred stock that was convertible into Secure  Transaction
common stock.

      Quest provided the services as required and the appropriate amount of
convertible stock was not redeemed or converted.The amount due the Company under
these various agreements is approximately $867,842.

      Quest has also alleged that the Financial Statements provided, negligently
misrepresented   the  financial   condition  of  Secure   Transaction   and  its
subsidiaries.  Quest has asked the court for rescission,  compensatory  damages,
attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses.

      The defendants filed a motion to dismiss, which was denied. The defendants
have filed an answer to our complaint. The lawsuit is in the discovery stage. At
present, we are unable to predict the outcome this lawsuit.


JAMES LLC

      On May 5, 2000, a lawsuit was filed against the Quest in the United States
District  Court,  Southern  District of New York, by James LLC (Case No. 00 Civ.
3467).  The  lawsuit  stems  from the  sale of  common  stock  to James  LLC for
$5,000,000 The lawsuit alleges that the Company breached its contract of sale to
James LLC by,  among other  things,  failing to register the common  stock,  and
failing to pay liquidated damages for the  non-effectiveness of the registration
statement.  James  LLC have  demanded  damages  in excess  of  $5,000,000  to be
determined at trial,  liquidated  damages and a mandatory  injunction  requiring
Quest  register the shares,  together  with interest  costs and legal fees.  The
Company intends to defend this suit and has obtained litigation counsel,  who is
in the processes of reviewing  the case and filing an answer.  If the lawsuit is
tried and a judgment is entered against the Company,  the Company estimates that
the  damages  could be in  excess of $5  million,  which is the  minimum  amount
invested by James LLC.  In the event that the lawsuit  cannot be settled and the
Company is adjudged  libel,  the Company  does not have the funds  available  to
redeem any or all of common shares.  Any judgment to this effect would force the
Company to cease operations.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

      Quest has been advised by the Securities and Commission (the "Commission")
that they have  issued an order  directing a private  investigation  of possible
violations  of Sections  17(a) of the  Securities  Act and Section  10(b) of the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934  and Rule  10b-5  promulgated  there  under by
certain  unnamed  persons.  The  Commission  has  also  advised  Quest  that the
investigation  should not be construed as an indication by the Commission or its
staff that any  violation  of law has  occurred,  nor as a  reflection  upon any
person, entity, or security.

ITEM 5.    OTHER INFORMATION.

On February 25, 2000, Quest entered into a Stock Purchase  Agreement,  effective
March 1,  2000 to  purchase  CWTel,  Inc.  from  Charles  Wainer  for the sum of
$1,200,000.  Of the purchase  price  $200,000 was paid at closing,  $700,000 was
paid by the issuance of 360,000 share of the Company's  restricted  common stock
and $300,000 was to be paid in three equal  payments at 90 days,  180 days,  and
270 days from closing.  These payments were  represented by promissory  note and
