                                   (Unaudited)

1.   General

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles for
interim  financial  information and with the instruction to Form 10-QSB and Item
310 of Regulation S-B.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting  principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management,  the accompanying unaudited
interim financial statements contain all adjustments  (consisting only of normal
recurring accruals) necessary to make such financial  statements not misleading.
Results  for the  three  and nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000,  are not
necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected either for any other
quarter in the year  ending  December  31,  2000,  or for the entire year ending
December 31, 2000. For further information,  refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999.

2.       Operations

         Gateway  Industries,  Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware
in July 1994. The Company had no operating  business from December 1996 to March
2000, when it acquired all of the outstanding  common stock of Oaktree  Systems,
Inc.  ("Oaktree").  Oaktree  provides  database  development  consolidation  and
management  services,  and web site design and  maintenance  to customers.  Such
customers are  principally  not-for-profit  entities,  health care providers and
publishers throughout the United States.

         The Company had no full time  employees  from  December  1996 until the
acquisition of Oaktree in March 2000. The Company's  officers and Steel Partners
Services,  Ltd. (an entity controlled by the Company's  Chairman) devote time to
the Company's  administration and in exploring potential  acquisitions and other
business opportunities.

3.   Purchase of Subsidiary

     In March 2000 the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Oaktree
for a purchase  price of  $4,078,000,  consisting  of  $2,000,000  in cash,  the
issuance of 600,000  shares of common  stock of the  Company,  the  repayment of
existing Oaktree bank debt of $640,000 and expenses of $70,000.  The acquisition
was  accounted  for as a  purchase,  and,  accordingly  include  the  results of
operations since the date of acquisition.  The excess of purchase price over the
fair value of net assets  acquired  was recorded as goodwill of  $3,124,000  and
other intangible assets of $350,000 which will be amortized over 15 and 5 years,
respectively.

     The  following  consolidated  condensed  unaudited  proforma  statement  of
operations, as if the Oaktree acquisition had occurred at January 1, 1999.

4.   Significant Accounting Policies

     Revenue Recognition:

     Revenues are  recognized  upon delivery of services.  Billings on contracts
which  extend  beyond  one month are  deferred  and then  recognized  as earned.
Customer  deposits  are used to pay for  printing  and  materials  for  customer
mailings.  The  Company  receives  these  deposits  and then makes  payments  as
directed by the customer for printing and materials as a service only.

5.   Lease Commitments

     The Company  entered into a three-year  operating lease for office space in
New York, NY which began April 1, 1998.  The Company has sublet a portion of its
office space to affiliated companies.

     Oaktree  leases 9,008 square feet of office space in  Calverton,  New York.
The lease expires on February 1, 2003. The space is rented from a partnership in
which two of the  senior  managers  of  Oaktree  each own a  material  interest.
Oaktree has a lease for 1,650 square feet in St. Paul,  Minnesota  which expires
on Dec 31, 2000.

     Future minimum lease payments under these leases are as follows:

6.   Net Loss Per Share

     Net loss per share was  calculated  using the  weighted  average  number of
common shares  outstanding.  The effect of all common stock  equivalents  is not
included  in the per  share  computation  for the three  and nine  months  ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999, as such items are  anti-dilutive in these quarters.
Accordingly,  basic and diluted  income per share are the same for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.
<PAGE>
ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

     The Company  acquired  Oaktree on March 21, 2000,  for a purchase  price of
approximately  $4.1 million,  consisting of $2 million in cash,  the issuance of
600,000  restricted  shares of common stock of the Company and the assumption of
approximately  $640,000  of debt  (which  was  repaid in full at  closing),  and
certain fees and expenses.

     Oaktree  had  revenues  of  approximately  $3.0  million  in  1999  and was
marginally profitable. Oaktree's 1999 operating income was adversely impacted by
expenses related to Year 2000 preparedness,  unusually large software and system
upgrades  and web design  development  projects  which are not expected to recur
annually  to the  extent  incurred  in 1999.  The  Company  believes  that these
expenditures will enable Oaktree to significantly  enhance the services provided
to its customers.

     The  Company  intends to  continue  to enhance  Oaktree's  internal  growth
opportunities and efforts,  and explore acquisitions of established products and
service  providers that will provide  opportunities  to present  customers to an
integrated, full-service product offering.

     The Company's ability to make further product  acquisitions will depend on,
among other things, the availability of appropriate  acquisition  opportunities,
the  ability  to obtain  appropriate  financing  and the  Company's  ability  to
consummate  acquisitions on acceptable terms. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to consummate any such acquisition on acceptable terms.

     Oaktree  competes in a highly  fragmented  industry  with many national and
local  competitors.  Competition  comes  from many  sources  including  database
development companies,  service bureaus, and mailhouses. Many of the competitors
of Oaktree possess  substantially  greater financial,  technical,  marketing and
other resources than Oaktree.

     As of  September  30,  2000,  Oaktree  employed  64 full time and part time
employees.  None of the  employees  are  subject  to any  collective  bargaining
agreements and the Company believes that the relationship  with its employees is
good.

REVENUES AND EXPENSES

     The Company had no operating  business from 1996 until the  acquisition  of
Oaktree in March 2000.

     During the three  month  period  ended  September  30,  2000,  Oaktree  had
revenues of $936,000,  cost of sales of $133,000 and a gross profit of $803,000.
Gateway's  consolidated  costs and  expenses  for the three month  period  ended
September  30,  2000  aggregated  $935,000,  consisting  of payroll  expenses of
$498,000,  professional fees of $35,000,  general and administrative  expense of
$225,000, rental cost of $33,000, and depreciation and amortization of $144,000.

     During the period from March 22, 2000 to September  30,  2000,  Oaktree had
revenues  of  $1,899,000  and cost of sales of  $320,000  and a gross  profit of
$1,579,000.  Gateway's consolidated costs and expenses for the nine month period
ended  September  30, 2000 totaled  $2,114,000,  including  payroll  expenses of
$1,032,000,  professional fees of $154,000,  general and administrative expenses
of $643,000,  rental costs of $61,000,  and  depreciation  and  amortization  of
$224,000.

     The proforma income statement in Note 3 shows that the net loss incurred by
the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 calculated as
if Oaktree had been  acquired on January 1, 1999,  decreased for the three month
period and increased for the nine month period over the net loss incurred during
the same periods in 1999.  Sales are higher in both periods in 2000 versus 1999.
Higher expenses in 2000 are attributable to increased  payroll and related costs
at Oaktree  that  were  incurred as a result of  increased  sales in 2000 and in
preparation for higher sales expected to be realized starting in early 2001.
<PAGE>
OTHER INCOME

     During the third  quarter of 2000,  the Company  recognized  $42,000 of net
interest income compared with $58,000 in the comparable  period of 1999. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2000,  other income totaled  $169,000  including
interest  income of $150,000  and other  income of $19,000.  For the nine months
ended September 30, 1999,  other income consisted of interest income of $169,000
and other income of $15,000.  The  difference  results  primarily from less cash
equivalents  on hand  during  2000  earning  interest  income  since the Company
invested cash in the operating business of Oaktree in March 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $3,064,000 at September 30,
2000 and $5,465,000 at December 31, 1999. $2,643,000 cash was expended March 21,
2000 for the  acquisition  of Oaktree.  At  September  30, 2000,  the  Company's
working capital balance was $2,767,000. There were no long term liabilities.

     While the  Company  seeks an  acquisition  or other  business  combination,
management  believes its cash  position is  sufficient  to cover  administrative
expenses and current obligations for the foreseeable future.
