CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors
Global MAINTECH Corporation:
We consent to the use of our report included herein and to the reference to our
firm under the heading "Experts" in the prospectus in this Form SB-2
registration statement.
Our report dated April 14, 2000, contains an explanatory paragraph that states
that the Company has suffered losses from operations and has a working capital
deficiency and an accumulated deficit that raise substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that
uncertainty.
Our report refers to a change in the method of accounting for depreciation.
