                                    PART I
                               
   Item 1. Description of Business.

           Arinco Computer Systems,  Inc.  (Arinco,  Company or Registrant)
   was incorporated under the laws of the State of New Mexico on March  31,
   1978.  Arinco is a publicly held, NASDAQ Bulletin  Board traded  company
   organized principally to serve  its subsidiary operations.

          On March 1, 1983, it acquired a telephone  inter-connect  company   
   which   had   engaged   in   selling   and installing telecommunications  
   equipment in  commercial and governmental facilities. In  July  of 1987,  
   operations  ceased   when  two creditors  of the telephone inter-connect 
   subsidiary received the assets  of the company.  A negotiated settlement 
   was  agreed upon because of continued default by the company  in payment 
   of its secured obligations.

          In  July  of 1985, the Registrant sold its interest in a computer  
   retail chain  to  a public company involved in a similar business.  Upon 
   the default of the  purchaser  to  meet its cash and securities  payment  
   obligations to  the   Registrant, the  Registrant  instituted  suit  and 
   secured a judgment against the purchaser and guarantor for  the  balance  
   owing  on  notes, interest  thereon,  and attorneys fees.  In 1986,  the
   purchaser filed  bankruptcy and in 1987, the guarantor filed bankruptcy. 
   In 1995, the Registrant received  an  interim  distribution  of $284,000 
   from  the  bankrupt  estate  of the guarantor.  During 1996, a  creditor  
   whose  claim had   been disallowed   was successful in  having the order  
   disallowing its claim set aside.  The claim after a court proceeding was  
   subsequently disallowed.  The creditor subsequently petitioned the court 
   to  again  review  the  previous  Judge's  ruling;  however, to date, no 
   action has been taken.  Management believes the Company will prevail and 
   a ruling requiring recall of the distribution is unlikely; nevertheless, 
   it  is reasonably possible that  such an event could  occur, and if such  
   an  event  did  occur, the  amount  of  the  recall  cannot currently be 
   estimated.

          At  the  end  of  the  fiscal  year  ended  December 31, 1998 the 
   Registrant was without any business, had assets consisting  of  $173,000  
   in  cash, trading  securities  of  $49,000,  a receivable from a related 
   party of $16,000 and had liabilities of $2,000. At the end of the Fiscal 
   Year  ending December 31,  1997 it  had assets consisting of $270,000 in  
   cash  and  liabilities  of  $647,000.  The decrease of liabilities was a  
   result of  a  review  of  old  liabilities that after legal advice, were 
   determined to no longer be enforceable as claims against the Registrant. 
   As a result of the extinguishment of these obligations, an extraordinary 
   income  item  of  $666,000 was recognized  in  the  fourth  quarter. The 
   decrease in assets was due  primarily  to  a  mark  down  to  market  of 
   securities  held  for  sale,  in  addition, to  an increase of $8,000 of 
   operating expense as compared to last year.

   Employees.

          The Registrant currently has no employees who are compensated for  
   their  efforts  on  behalf  of the Registrant.  The  sole officer of the 
   Registrant is employed without compensation, but is to be reimbursed all 
   out of pocket expenses incurred by him on the Registrant's business. The  
   Registrant's sole director is not paid  for  being  a  director  or  for 
   attending directors meetings, but is  to be reimbursed all out of pocket 
   expenses incurred  in attending such meetings. The time incurred by  the
   Registrant's  sole  officer and  director is minimal. No compensation or 
   reimbursments have been paid.


   Item 2. Description of Properties.

   The  Registrant  utilizes  office  space  of  a  company  managed by its 
   President  and  sole  director, Mr. James  A. Arias, at 1650  University 
   Blvd., N.E., Suite 5-100, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87102.  The Registrant 
   is not presently  paying rent for the use of this office space, however, 
   the space used is negligible.


   Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

   1.  The Registrant had been subjected to the following judgments:

          a)   On  July  21, 1988,  a  Judgment  was  entered  in the First 
   Judicial District,  County of Santa Fe, New Mexico for legal fees in the
   amount of $5,869.97.

          b)   During  fiscal  1987  pursuant   to  a  Stipulation  in  the 
   US District Court or  the Eastern District of New York, a prior supplier   
   of material to  a formally owned subsidiary,  obtained Judgment  against  
   the Registrant in the amount of $245,738, plus interest.

   These two judgments  remain unpaid at the  date of this Report, however,  
   as described  in Item 1 above, these judgments and all accrued  interest 
   thereon, were  extinquished, after legal advice that  these  liabilities  
   were no longer enforceable as claims against the Company.

   2.    See  Item  1  above,  regarding  the  current   status  of a legal 
   challenge  by a creditor to recover a prior interim distribution to  the  
   Registrant, of $284,000 from a bankrupt estate.

   Insofar  as  is known to the Company's management,  there  are no  other  
   proceedings  now  pending, threatened,  or contemplated,  or unsatisfied  
   judgments outstanding  which have not been  provided for in any court or
   agency to which the  Company  or any of  its officers  or directors,  in
   such capacity, are or may be a party, except as discussed above.


   Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Securities Holders.

   No  matters were  submitted  to a vote of shareholders during the fourth 
   quarter of the fiscal year.


                                    PART II
    
   Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.

   The  Registrant's  common stock has been listed  in  the NASDAQ Bulletin  
   Board under the symbol "ARCU".  The high  and low bid prices during each 
   quarter  of  1998  and  1997  represent   inter  dealer  prices  without  
   adjustment  for  retail  markups,  markdowns or commissions, and may not 
   reflect actual transactions.



                       Bid Prices                           Bid Prices
                     High      Low                        High       Low
                     -----    -----                       -----     -----

   March 31, 1998   $0.10     $0.01      March 31, 1997   $0.02      $0.01
   June  30, 1998   $0.10     $0.01      June  30, 1997   $0.02      $0.01
   Sept. 30, 1998   $0.10     $0.01      Sept. 30, 1997   $0.02      $0.01
   Dec.  31, 1998   $0.10     $0.01      Dec.  31, 1997   $0.02      $0.01




   There were approximately 400 holders of the Registrant's common stock on
   March 16, 1999.

   The Registrant has never paid dividends on its common stock.


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

   (a) Plan of operation.
   Liquidity and Capital Resources.

   The Registrant currently has approximately $238,000,  consisting of cash
   and other liquid assets.

   The  Registrant's sole  officer  and director  is currently devoting his  
   services,  as  needed,  to  the  Registrant  without   compensation.  No 
   increase   of  employees  is  anticipated  during the foreseeable future  
   of the  Registrant.   Other  costs  and  expenses, including  legal  and 
   accounting costs  are being paid  from the cash  held by the Registrant.  
   The Registrant  may  continue to operate in a  limited manner  utilizing 
   the funds it currently has.  It  is believed  that  the  Registrant  has 
   sufficient  funds  to   maintain  its  current activities,  for the year  
   ending December 31,  1999,  while it  seeks  to  acquire  or establish a 
   new business.  There is no assurance that given the Registrant's limited 
   financial resources, it will  succeed in atracting acquisition or merger 
   prospects.

   
   Financial Condition and Changes in Financial Condition:

   As  stated  above,  the  Registrant's  present  financial  condition  is
   sufficient  to  maintain   its  present  level  of  operation  into  the
   foreseeable future.   The Registrant  does not at  this time  anticipate 
   any  cash  expense   that   could  not be  met  by the it's current cash 
   resources.

 
   Year 2000 Issues:

   Because of the limited  operations of the  Registrant,  year 2000 issues  
   are minimal.   The Registrant's  banks and professional service  vendors 
   have notified  that they are year 2000 compliant.  The personal computer 
   and  software,   which  the  Registrant  utilizes, is  deemed  year 2000 
   compliant.

                  NOTES TO CONSILIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
               
                         December 31, 1998 and 1997


   NOTE A - ORGANIZATION

      Arinco Computer Systems, Inc.  (the "Company") was incorporated under
      the laws of the State of New Mexico on March  31,  1978. The  Company
      is a publicly-held,  over-the-counter traded  company that has had no
      business  operations  since  1988.   Intercompany  transactions   and
      balances   with  the  Company's  subsidiary,  New  Start,  Inc.,  are  
      eliminated  in  consolidation.   Prior  to the  settlement of certain
      liabilities  of  the  Company in 1998 (Note D), the Company  reported
      on  the  liquidation  basis  of  accounting;  however, this change in
      reporting had no  effect on the 1998 or  1997 financial statements or
      their presentation.

      The Company's  activities  consist  primarily  of paying general  and
      administrative costs.   At present, the Company  has no employees and  
      is  wholly dependent  on the personal  efforts  of its  officers  and
      directors, who are engaged full-time in other activities,  endeavors,
      and professions.

   NOTE B - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      A  summary   of  the  significant  accounting  policies  consistently
      applied  in  the   accompanying  consolidated   financial  statements 
      follows.

      1.  Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
          --------------------------------
           
      Earnings  (loss)  per  common  share  has  been  computed  using  the
      weighted  average  number of  common  shares  outstanding during each 
      period  after deduction  of preferred  stock  dividends.   Basic  and  
      diluted loss  per share  are the same  because the effect of warrants
      and convertible preferred stock would be antidilutive.

      2.  Cash Accounts
          -------------
  
      The  Company  maintains its cash  in bank deposit  accounts which may
      exceed   federally   insured   limits.     The   Company    has   not 
      experienced  any  losses  on  such  accounts and  believes it  is not
      exposed to  any significant credit risk on cash.

      3.  Use of Estimates
          ----------------

      The   preparation   of   financial  statements   in  conformity  with
      generally  accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to 
      make  estimates and  assumptions  that  affect  the  amounts reported  
      in  the financial  statements  and  accompanying  notes; accordingly, 
      actual results could differ from those estimates.

      4.  Securities
          ----------

      Trading securities (cost of $79,000) are bought with the intention of
      selling them in the near term and are carried at  fair value with any
      unrealized gains or losses included in earnings.  Cost is  determined
      by specific identification  and $30,000  of  unrealized   loss on the
      securities was included in earnings for the year ended  December  31,
      1998.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

                          December 31, 1998 and 1997
                               
                               
   NOTE C - NOTE RECEIVABLE - RELATED PARTY

      The Company has  a note receivable  from a  related party of $16,000,  
      due on demand with interest payable at 8.5%.

   NOTE D - EXTINGUISHMENT OF LIABILITIES

      The Company incurred certain liabilities which could not be paid as a
      result  of  unprofitable  operations  before  1988.  During 1998, the 
      Company  reviewed  these  old  liabilities  and,  as a result of that
      review   and   upon   advice  from  legal  counsel,  determined  that
      liabilities   totaling   approximately   $666,000   were   no  longer 
      enforceable  as  claims  against  the  Company.  As  a  result of the 
      extinguishment of these obligations, an extraordinary income  item of
      $666,000 was recognized in the fourth quarter.
   
   NOTE E - INCOME TAXES

      The  following  is   a  reconciliation   between  the   Company's tax 
   provision to the tax computed at the statutory federal rate:

      Computer Centers Corporation and  its organizers (defendants) seeking
      the   balance  due  of  $450,000  on a  note  plus  accrued  interest 
      (guaranteed  by  Aaron  D.  and Jerilyn  H. Silver). On  February 14,
      1990,  the  Company settled  the litigation  and  received settlement
      proceeds in 1995 of approximately $284,000.  Subsequent to receipt of
      settlement proceeds,  a creditor  whose claim  had been disallowed in
      the defendants  bankruptcy proceedings  was successful  in having the
      order disallowing its claim set aside.   If the claim is subsequently
      allowed, the creditor could petition the court to have the bankruptcy
      trustee recall the settlement proceeds;   however, to date, no action
      has been  taken.   Management believes court action requiring  recall
      of  the  settlement   proceeds  is  unlikely;   nevertheless,  it  is
      reasonably  possible that such  an event  will  occur,  although  the
      amount of the recall cannot currently be estimated.

                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-CONTINUED
                   
                             December 31, 1998 and 1997


   NOTE I - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

      The   following   table  includes   various   estimated   fair  value
      information as of  December 31, 1998  as  required  by  Statement  of 
      Financial Accounting Standards  ("SFAS")  No. 107,  Disclosures About
      Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Such information, which pertains
      to the Company's financial instruments, is based on the  requirements
      set forth  in  SFAS No. 107  and does not  purport to  represent  the
      aggregate net fair  value  of  the Company.  The  carrying amounts in
      the  table below are the amounts at which the  financial  instruments
      are reported in the consolidated financial statements.

      The  following  methods  and assumptions  were  used to  estimate the 
      fair  value  of  each class of financial instruments  for which it is
      practicable to estimate that value:

      1.   Cash
           ----

      The  carrying  amount approximates fair value because  of  the  short  
      maturity and highly liquid nature of those instruments.

      2.   Note Receivable - Related Party
           -------------------------------

      This note has no specific maturity date  and it  is  not practicable
      to estimate fair value.

      The carrying  amounts  and  estimated  fair values  of the Company's 
      financial instruments are as follows:
 
                                                Carrying      Estimated
                                                 amount      fair value

   Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

   On  September  11,  1998,  the  Registrant  loaned  $16,000 to a related
   person  of  a company  controlled  by  Mr. Arias.  The loan is evidenced
   by  a  demand  note  paying interest  at  the rate of  8.5%  per  annum.

   requirement for  the funds  or any part  of them.  On March 31, 1999 the
   Registrant had no loans outstanding to any parties.
