                              operation of the SEGOES website, an Internet-based
                              offshore asset management and trading system.

Description of the Business   The Company operates in one business segment,
                              which provides Website consulting services and
                              development of Internet computer software
                              products. The Company does not operate based upon
                              product lines but as one business unit. Its major
                              customers are International Business Machines
                              (IBM) and Appsmall.com (See Note 5).

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 disclosure of
                              contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
                              the financial statements and the reported amounts
                              of revenues and expenses during the reporting
                              period. Actual results could differ significantly
                              from those estimates.

                        Summary of Accounting Policies

Cash and Cash Equivalents     For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the
                              Company considers all highly liquid investments
                              with maturity of three months or less when
                              purchased to be cash equivalents.

Office Furniture, Equipment   Office equipment and furniture are stated at cost.
and Depreciation              Depreciation is computed principally by the
                              straight-line method for financial reporting
                              purposes over the estimated useful lives of the
                              assets and by accelerated methods for tax
                              purposes.

Developed Computer Software   Software development costs are accounted for in
                              accordance with the provisions of Statement of
                              Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 86,
                              "Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software To
                              Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed."  Software
                              development costs and certain product
                              enhancements, when significant, are capitalized
                              subsequent to the establishment of technological
                              feasibility for the product and prior to the
                              product's general release to customers.

                              Costs incurred prior to technological feasibility
                              or subsequent to the product's general release to
                              customers, as well as selling, general, and
                              administrative costs associated with the products,
                              are expensed as incurred.

Fair Value of Financial       The Company's financial instruments consist
Instruments                   of cash, receivables, investments, notes payable,
                              accounts payable and long-term debt. Due to the
                              short-term nature of the items, other than
                              investments and long-term debt, and the variable
                              interest rates on a substantial portion of the
                              long-term debt, management estimates that carrying
                              amounts of the Company's financial instruments
                              approximate their fair values at September 30,
                              2000.

Revenue Recognition           Revenues for the sale of the Company's Internet
                              products are recognized when the customer has
                              accepted the product. The Company records its
                              revenue from Website consulting contracts on a
                              monthly basis as amounts are invoiced for time and
                              expenses incurred.


Earnings (Loss) Per Share     Basic earnings (loss) per share includes no
                              dilution and is computed by dividing income (loss)
                              available to common stockholders by the weighted
                              average number of common shares outstanding for
                              the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share
                              reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive
                              effect, the effect of common shares issuable upon
                              exercise of stock options.

                        Summary of Accounting Policies

New Accounting Pronouncements SFAS 133 regarding derivative instruments is
                              effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years
                              beginning after June 15, 2000, as amended by SFAS
                              137. The statement will become effective for the
                              Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2001.
                              Historically, the Company has not entered into
                              derivative contracts either to hedge existing
                              risks or for speculative purposes. Accordingly,
                              the Company does not expect adoption of the new
                              standard to affect its financial statements.

Investments                   The Company has a minority interest in three
                              privately held companies. These investments are
                              carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair
                              market value (Note 9).

                         with a note holder, whereby the Company exchanged
                         25,000 of its common shares of stock for forgiveness of
                         $74,000 of indebtedness less an income tax benefit of
                         $25,000. This transaction has been treated as an

                         customers totaling $1,035,000 and $1,077,000 for the
                         nine months ending September 30, 2000 and 1999,
                         respectively. These three customers in the aggregate
                         accounted for 91% and 53% of the Company's revenue for
                         these periods, respectively.

5. Taxes on Income       Income taxes are calculated using the liability method.

                         Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of
                         temporary differences between the carrying amounts of
                         assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes
                         and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

                         Significant components of the Company's deferred tax
                         assets as of September 30, 2000 are as follows:

                         Accruals                           $    88,000
                         Net operating loss carryforwards     3,289,000
                         Tax credit carryforwards                22,000
                         Capital loss carryforwards              24,000
                                                            -----------

                         Total Deferred Tax Assets          $ 3,423,000

                         Valuation Allowance                 (3,423,000)
                                                            -----------
                                                            $         -
                                                            -----------

                         As of September 30, 2000, the Company had a net
                         operating loss carryforward of approximately $9,674,000
                         and investment tax credit carryforwards of
                         approximately $22,000 available to reduce future
                         taxable income and taxes, respectively.  These
                         carryforwards expire from 2000 through 2011.

6. Employee Benefit Plan The Company has a profit sharing defined contribution
                         pension plan covering substantially all employees.
                         Under the plan, employees may make tax deferred
                         voluntary contributions which, at the discretion of the
                         Company's Board of Directors, may be matched within
                         certain limits by the Company. In addition, the Company
                         may make additional discretionary contributions to the
                         plan as profit sharing contributions. All contributions
                         to the plan are limited by applicable Internal Revenue
                         Code regulations. There were no Company contributions
                         charged against operations during the three months and
                         nine months ended September 30, 2000 or 1999.

7. Operating Leases      The Company leases its facilities and certain equipment
                         under non-cancelable operating leases. Management
                         expects that in the normal course of business, leases
                         will be renewed or replaced with other leases. Rental
                         expense under these leases was approximately $78,000
                         and $84,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
                         2000 and 1999, respectively. Future minimum annual
                         lease payments subsequent to September 30, 2000 are as
                         follows:

                                   2001    $93,000
                                   2002    $ 8,000
                                   2003    $ 8,000
                                   2004    $ 2,000

8. Incentive Stock       The Company maintains an incentive stock option plan
Option Plan              that provides for the granting of options to officers
                         and other key employees at an exercise price not less
                         than 100% of the fair market value on the date of the
                         grant. Twenty percent of the options become exercisable
                         each year following the date they were granted, and can
                         remain outstanding for five years following the day
                         they become fully vested. Options outstanding are
                         summarized as follows:

                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                         At September 30, 2000, 582,255 shares of common stock
                         were reserved for the incentive stock option plan and
                         15,000 options were vested and exercisable. The
                         remaining weighted average contractual life on these
                         options is five years. The remaining 300,000 options
                         are not vested and have a remaining contractual life of
                         ten years.


9. Investments           During August 2000, the Company discharged a customer
                         from $209,000 of indebtedness and also assigned that
                         customer certain proprietary computer technology and
                         software for the products known as Career/NET and HR
                         Department. In exchange for this discharge and
                         assignment, the Company received 2,000,000 shares (18%
                         interest) each in the common stock or units in two
                         privately held entities. These entities provide web-
                         based resume tracking solutions and career boards and
                         were working towards raising additional capital of fund
                         expansion of their growth. During the third quarter of
                         2000, the raising of additional capital was suspended
                         due to deteriorating market conditions for such fund
                         raising. The Company determined that it was appropriate
                         to writedown these investments to their net realizable
                         value at this time.

                         In addition, the Company holds a minority equity stake
                         in SEGOES, Ltd. which offers offshore trading on the
                         Web.

10. Supplemental         Interest paid for the nine months ended September 30,
    Disclosure of Cash   2000 and 1999 was $21,000 and $17,000 respectively. The
    Flow Information     Company paid no income taxes during 2000 and 1999.

                         Non-cash investing and financing activities are
                         summarized as follows:

                         Forgiveness of indebtedness in the amount of $74,000 in
                         exchange for 25,000 shares of common stock in April
                         2000.

11. Litigation           From time to time, the Company is involved in various
                         legal actions arising in the normal course of business.
                         Management does not anticipate any material losses as a
                         result of these proceedings.

                         1999, options to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock
                         at $2.50 per share were not included in the computation
                         of the diluted earnings as they were anti-dilutive.

13. Sale of Securities   In January 2000, Stek, Ltd., the Company's wholly owned
                         Caymanian subsidiary, sold approximately 20,000 shares
                         of its 1,500,000 shares of SEGOES, Ltd. stock with net
                         proceeds to the Company of $28,199. The Company had
                         received these shares in January 1999 for the
                         successful completion of the development, installation
                         and operation of the SEGOES website.

14. Continued Existence  The Company's financial statements have been
                         presented on the basis that it is a going concern,
                         which contemplates the realization of assets and the
                         satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of
                         business. The Company has suffered recurring losses
                         from operations in prior years, has a significant
                         working capital deficit, and requires additional
                         capital to continue its product development.
                         Management believes the Company will continue as a
                         going concern and is actively marketing its products to
                         enable the Company to meet its current obligations and
                         provide additional funds for continued new product
                         development. In addition, management is currently
                         negotiating several additional contracts for its
                         services and products. Management is also embarking on
                         other strategic initiatives to expand its business
                         opportunities. However, there can be no assurance these
                         activities will be successful.

Item 2. Management's
Discussion and Analysis
or Plan of Operation

Results of Operations    First Nine months of 2000 Compared to the First Nine
                         months of 1999

                         Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
                         were $1,149,000 compared to $1,382,000 for the nine
                         months ended September 30, 1999.  Sales of Internet
                         software products accounted for revenues of $350,000 in
                         2000 and $434,000 in 1999. The decrease in software
                         sales was due primarily to lower European sales, as the
                         Company's primary distributor in that region underwent
                         a change in marketing and sales personnel. This
                         decrease was offset, in part, by sales from the
                         Company's new distributor in the Pacific Rim. Revenues
                         from website and related consulting totaled $789,000
                         for the nine-month period of 2000, compared with
                         $938,000 for the same period of 1999. The decrease was
                         due primarily to the absence of $209,000 in revenue
                         from the termination of a support services agreement
                         with Career/NET L.L.C. in 1999. Exclusive of this item,
                         revenues from website and related consulting were
                         $729,000 in 1999.

                         Cost of revenues increased by approximately $12,000 to
                         $648,000 in 2000, as compared to $636,000 in 1999. The
                         cause for this increase was primarily increased
                         personnel costs related to the Company's contract with
                         IBM.

                         General and administrative expenses decreased by
                         approximately $45,000 to $414,000 in 2000 as compared
                         to $459,000 in 1999. The cause for this decrease was
                         lower executive employee costs.

                         During the third quarter of 2000, the Company
                         determined that it should adjust the carrying amount of
                         the minority investments it held in two privately held
                         companies. The effect of this writedown was to reduce
                         the cost of the investments to zero by taking a charge
                         of $209,000 against them.

                         Other income (expense) increased by $40,000 primarily
                         due to the gain on the sale by Stek Ltd. of SEGOES,
                         Ltd. stock in the amount of $29,000 and increased
                         interest income of $9,000.

                         During April 2000, the Company exchanged 25,000 of its
                         common shares for the forgiveness of $74,000 less an
                         income tax benefit of $25,000 of indebtedness to a note
                         holder. This exchange has been treated as an
                         extraordinary item.

                         Third Quarter of 2000 Compared to Third Quarter of 1999

                         For the three month period ended September 30, 2000,
                         revenues decreased by $97,000 as compared to the same
                         period of 1999, reflecting lower software sales in
                         Europe that were offset, in part, by higher consulting
                         revenues and software sales by the Company's new
                         distributor in the Pacific Rim.

                         Cost of revenues increased during the third quarter of
                         2000 compared with the same period in 1999, reflecting
                         increased use of contract employees for the Company's
                         website development consulting business.

Financial Condition      The Company's primary need for capital will be to
and Liquidity            invest in computer software development. The Company
                         has reduced its working capital deficit from a year
                         ago. As of September 30, 2000, the Company's working
                         capital deficit was $736,000, as compared to a deficit
                         of $834,000 at September 30, 1999. Cash provided by
                         operating activities and continued debt reductions have
                         provided the resulting decrease in working capital
                         deficit in 2000 and 1999.

                         In March 2000, the Company signed an extension to its
                         current website consulting agreement with IBM through
                         the end of March 2001. The Company has begun
                         preliminary discussions with IBM on an extension of
                         this contract.

                         In addition, the Company has exclusive worldwide
                         marketing and distribution agreements for the
                         distribution of its Webserver products. Appsmall.com
                         has the exclusive right through December 2000 to market
                         and distribute the Company's products in the United
                         States, Canada, Europe and the Middle East and Africa.
                         Discussions are underway regarding an extension of this
                         agreement. General Business Services Co. LTD (GBS) of
                         Tokyo, Japan has the exclusive territory of Japan
                         through March 2001.

                         The Company believes that the additional sales provided
                         by these  agreements, the continued development of new
                         products, together with the renegotiations of its
                         defaulted debt, should provide the Company with
                         sufficient working capital to market its products,
                         which would enable the Company to meet its current
                         obligations and provide additional funds for continued
                         new product development. The Company continues to
                         explore alternative options to reduce its debt
                         obligations, which could increase the Company's
                         financial stability.  In addition, management is
                         currently negotiating several additional contracts for
                         its services and products.  However, there can be no
                         assurance these activities will be successful.
