statements" relating to the Registrant which represent the Registrant's current
expectations or beliefs, including, but not limited to, statements concerning
the Registrant's operations, performance, financial condition and growth. For
this purpose, any statements contained in this Annual Report and Form 10-KSB

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may", "will",
"expect", "believe", "anticipate", "intend", "could", "estimate", or "continue",
or the negative or other variation thereof or comparable terminology are

dependence on management and key personnel and variability of quarterly results,
ability of the Registrant to continue its growth strategy and competition,
certain of which are beyond the Registrant's control. Should one or more of
these risks or uncertainties materialize or should the underlying assumptions

3821-B Tamiami Trail, Suite 201
Port Charlotte, Florida 33952
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Equity Growth Systems, inc. (A
Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 1998, and the related statements
of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended December
31, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Equity Growth Systems, inc. (A
Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 1998, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1998 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 8 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations
and has a net working capital deficiency that together raise substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard
to these matters are also described in Note 8. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business and Organization
The Company (formerly known as InfoTech, Inc.) was organized under the laws
of the State of Delaware on December 8, 1964. The principal business of the
Company is specializing in structuring and marketing mortgaged backed securities
as well as the acquisition of select commercial real estate for its own account.
Effective December 31, 1998 the company discontinued the mortgage business and
was reclassified as a development stage company.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks, and any
highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of
purchase.
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at a financial
institution which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to
$100,000. At December 31, 1998, there is no concentration of credit risk from
uninsured bank balances.
Fixed Assets
The fixed assets are depreciated over their estimated allowable useful
lives, primarily over five to seven years. Expenditures for major renewals and
betterments that extend the useful lives of fixed assets are capitalized.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred.
Income Taxes
In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a
Statement on Financial Accounting Standards 109 of "Accounting for Income
Taxes". Under Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective bases.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in
effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date. The Company has net operation loss carryovers of
approximately $2,900,000 which expire by the year 2013.
Basic Loss Per Shares
Primary basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
year.
Fully Diluted Loss Per Shares
Fully diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the
shares that would be outstanding if all stock options were exercised.
NOTE 2 SETTLEMENT WITH CREDITORS - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On November 28, 1998, the Company offered 150,000 shares of its common
stock in consideration for the cancellation of $3,000 of legal and advisory
services currently shown as a liability on the Company's books. This offer was
accepted in February of 1999.
NOTE 3 CONSULTING AGREEMENTS
In 1997, a consulting agreement with Warren A. McFadden was terminated and
the 110,000 shares of common stock he received, which were subsequently acquired
by Diversified Consulting, were used by Diversified as consideration to cancel a
$30,000 promissory note liability owed to the Company.
In 1998 a consulting agreement with Yankee Companies, Inc., (Yankee) a
Florida corporation was executed to develop investment banking relationships,
develop access to debt and equity capital markets and to develop growth through
acquisition of complementary business operations. In consideration for Yankee's
assistance, Yankee is to receive options for common stock equal to 10% of the
outstanding shares of the Company (see Note 5[d]).

NOTE 4 INCOME TAXES
As discussed in Note 1, the Company has applied the provisions of Financial
Accounting Standards Statement 109.
The significant components of deferred income tax expense benefit for the
year ended December 31, 1998 arising from net operating losses as follows:

$ -

The Company has operating loss carryforwards in excess of $2,000,000.
There is no reasonable expectation that any tax benefits can be utilized in the
future.
NOTE 5 STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
During the year ended December 31, 1998 the Company issued its common stock
for cash and in exchange for services as follows:
(a) On March 26th 290,000 shares of common stock were issued at $ .02 per share
for services.
(b) On September 9th 50,000 shares of common stock were issued at $ .02
per share for services.
(c) On December 9th 75,000 shares of common stock were issued at $ .02 per share
for services and 1,750,000 shares were issued at $ .02 per share for cash.
During the year the Company also issued stock options for
200,000 shares to the president of the corporation The options are exercisable
at $.02 per share and accordingly no compensation expense has been recorded or
will be incurred with the issuance.
(d) In September 1998, the Company entered into a consulting arrangement for
services relating to reorganization, mergers, acquisitions and other strategic
corporate development which was formalized in a written agreement dated November
25, 1998. As compensation the consultant was granted an option to purchase up to
10% of the outstanding and reserved common stock for a maximum of $60,000.
The option term commenced on the 60th day after the execution of the agreement
and will terminate at the close of business on the 45th business day after the
shares of common stock into which they can be exercised are registered for sale
to the public under applicable federal and state securities laws. The agreement
also allows the options to be exercised at a 50% discount if exercised prior to
such registration.
11
<PAGE>
If the option had been exercised on December 31, 1998, the Company would have
issued approximately 586,615 shares under this agreement for $60,000,
approximately $0.10 per share. Assuming that the Company's authorized
capitalization remain 20,000,000 shares of common stock, the maximum number of
shares issuable under the terms of this agreement would be 2,000,000 shares for
$60,000 or $0.03 per share.
The Company has elected to account for the stock options under Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and
related interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been
recognized on the stock options.
Had compensation expense for the stock option plan been determined based on the
fair value of the options at the grant date consistent with the methodology
prescribed under Statement of Financial Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock
Based Compensation," the Company's net loss would have been increased by
approximately $16,000. The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of
grant using the fair market option pricing model with the assumption:
Risk-free interest rate 5.5 %
Expected life (years) 2
Expected volatility 2,665
Expected dividends None

NOTE 6 LEGAL MATTERS
The Company is currently not a party to any legal proceedings. Although the
Company is not a party to the following proceedings directly, they involve real
estate located in Kansas and Tennessee in which the Company had an interest.
A. On October 20, 1997, the various parties to a wrap around mortgage
transaction with the Company and the current tenant agreed to settle, but
certain parties reserved claims against each other. The settlement calls for a
payment from the current tenant of $150,000 in exchange for the transfer of a
clear and free title of the underlying real estate. The mortgage holder Fleet
National Bank received $52,000 and the balance to be held in escrow between the
other parties. The Company holds the position that the ultimate disbursement of
the substantial portion of these escrowed funds should be earmarked for the
reduction of the wrap around mortgage and promissory note receivable. Therefore
the Company has set up an escrow receivable for $98,000 ($150,000 52,000). The
escrow receivable was determined to be uncollectable and was expensed in the
loss from discontinued operations.
B. The Company was also in default of the mortgage on this property located in
Memphis, Tennessee because it could not satisfy the balloon payment, in the
original amount of $193,580, that was due on December 31, 1996. ($174,801 at
12/31/96). The mortgage holder (Lutheran Brotherhood) has refused to renegotiate
or extend the term of the mortgage and would not accept any further amortization
payments from the lessor of the underlying lease, other than the one made in
December, 1996, which was based upon the old repayment schedule's terms. Through
August 1997, the Company had received funds from Sun West N.O.P., the lessor on
the underlying lease, which represented the monthly rent payments made on such
lease ($4,609.38) by the tenant of the Memphis Property. Because the mortgage
holder could not accept any amortization payments on their matured loan from Sun
West N.O.P., the Company was using such proceeds to reduce the related wrap
mortgage receivable. In August of 1997, the mortgage holder foreclosed on the
mortgage payable, which resulted in a foreclosure sale of the Memphis, Tennessee
property. As a result of these events of foreclosure, the Company wrote off the
balance on the mortgage payable and the related wrap mortgage receivable
($251,772) and promissory note receivable ($93,686) at December 31, 1996.

NOTE 7 MATERIAL SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Granville-Smith Jr. Recission Settlement Agreement
On March 22, 1999, the Registrant's former president, Edward
Granville-Smith, rescinded by agreement of all employment, consulting and
creditor agreements and the following transactions described in previous reports
on 10-KSB by the Registrant and on previous filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as follows:
"During March of 1995, the Registrant's Board of Directors elected Edward
Granville-Smith, then president of KSG (then operating as EGSI), to the
Registrant's Board of Directors, after which, all directors other than Mr.
Granville-Smith resigned. Mr. Granville-Smith, as the sole director, elected
himself as president, chief executive officer and chairman of the Registrant's
Board of Directors. Thereafter, Mr. Granville-Smith, as the sole stockholder,
officer and director of Milpitas Investors, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Milpitas"), caused Milpitas to assign interests of four leases involving five
separate leased parcels of real estate (one lease covers two parcels), four
promissory notes secured by mortgages on real estate leased to third parties, in
each case subject to mortgages to third parties and four demand notes with an
aggregate original principal balance of approximately $160,000, to the
Registrant in exchange for 1,616,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock
$0.01 par value. The demand notes are subject to an arrangement with Mr. Jerry
C. Spellman (which the Registrant has agreed to honor) whereby payments thereon
are used to repay a $100,000 loan by Mr. Spellman to a former holder. Milpitas
thereafter distributed such stock to Granville-Smith Trust, which thereafter
transferred to K. Walker, Ltd., a Bahamian corporation (affiliated with Mr.
Granville-Smith) and Bolina Trading Registrant, a Panamanian corporation and/or
the WEFT Trust, (affiliated with Jerry C. Spellman)." Spellman General Release
On March 22, 1999, Mr. Jerry C. Spellman, on his own behalf and on behalf
of, Bolina Trading Registrant, S.A., a Panamanian Corporation, also known as
Bolina Trading Registrant, A Panamanian Corporation, and Bolena Trading
Corporation, S.A., Panamanian Corporation, and the WEFT Trust signed and
executed for the protection of the Company a general release.

NOTE 8 GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
organization will continue as a going concern. As discussed below, the
organization has a working capital deficit and an accumulated deficit that
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.
Management has entered into agreements (Note 15) that reduce current
revenues to zero. This is in preparation for new business opportunities
currently being sought out by the Company.
The Company's continued existence as a going concern will require the
infusion of new businesses. It is anticipated that the Company will effect this
transition through the acquisition of companies that will operate as
subsidiaries. The Company's continuation is dependent upon its ability to
acquire profitable businesses, control costs, and attain a satisfactory level of
profitability with sufficient financing capabilities or equity investment.
NOTE 9 - LOSS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On March 22, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement (Note 15) that
results in the discontinued operations of the mortgage finance business. The
following is a summary of income (loss) from operations of the discontinued
mortgage finance business.

(d) Pro Forma Financial Data
The following information attempts to demonstrate in summary fashion what
the Registrant's operations would have reflected, had it owned American Internet
(See Item 1, Business) throughout 1998 but not owned the operations subsequently
directed. Because no assuarnces can be provided that the American Internet
acquisition will ever be effected, these materials should be viewed as
