STARNET FINANCIAL, INC.
PART I -- FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

U.S. RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE BANKING INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
The Mortgage Bankers Association estimates the United States mortgage
market to total over $4.3 trillion in terms of loans outstanding and projects
mortgage originations to be $1.2 trillion in 1999. The mortgage industry is
divided broadly into four major segments today:
o mortgage origination -- sourcing, verifying and documenting
of mortgage loans, typically done by mortgage brokers and
single-source lenders;
o mortgage funding -- underwriting, funding and selling closed
loans to mortgage loan purchasers;
o securitization -- aggregating loans for sale into the
secondary market; and
o servicing -- ongoing billing, collection and
foreclosure/collateral management.
Over the past two decades, the mortgage industry has evolved
dramatically. Until the late 1970's, the mortgage market was primarily a
captive banking market, where retail banks and savings and loan institutions
originated loans through their branches, underwrote and closed loans
internally, funded loans from their own customer deposits and then serviced the
loans themselves. This internal chain of production was broken by the emergence
of the pure mortgage bank that could buy mortgages from mortgage brokers and
sell to government-sponsored mortgage investors, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac, and the development of a large, liquid secondary funding and trading
market for mortgage debt. This efficient new market for mortgage funding made
it viable for the first time to uncouple from the large retail banks both the
front-end functions of mortgage origination and mortgage funding and the
back-end function of servicing mortgages.
Now with the emergence of the Internet as a viable means of conducting
electronic commerce, the mortgage banking industry has made great efforts to
utilize this non-traditional distribution channel to increase the amount of
originated mortgages. According to Forrester Research, the market for on-line
mortgage originations is expected to grow from an estimated $18.7 billion in
1999 to over $91.2 billion in 2003, representing an increase in the percentage
of the existing mortgage market conducted over the Internet from 1.5% in 1999
to 9.6% in 2003. Mortgage origination is well-suited to an Internet-based
distribution model for a number of reasons, including:
o mortgages are information products that need no physical
delivery or warehousing;
o complex mortgage products can be made more understandable
through the use of graphical and dynamic real-time
presentations, including explanations of terminology and easy
access to detailed supporting information;
o borrower data can be efficiently captured through an Internet
website, allowing real-time automated underwriting and
streamlined overall mortgage application processing; and
o costly local offices or brokers and the expensive fee
structure associated with the traditional mortgage
distribution model are no longer required.
StarNet believes that in addition to traditional distribution channels
(such as regional offices and brokers), there exists a significant market
opportunity for a centralized, nationally accessible and simple-to-use on-line
service with a broad selection of products, a compelling value proposition
based upon saving borrowers money, time and effort, and an open, integrated
service that provides complete transaction fulfillment. StarNet's on-line
service will differ from those of its competitors in that it will offer a
variety of products from a number of lenders and allow the customer to complete
the mortgage application process on-line instead of merely being a referral
service where
2
<PAGE> 5
customers can only compare interest rates and costs of various lenders or are
limited to the products of a single lender.
SUBSIDIARIES AND DIVISIONS
StarNet is comprised of three wholly owned subsidiaries and two
distinct operating divisions involved in mortgage loan origination,
underwriting and/or processing:
o StarNet Mortgage, Inc. This subsidiary originates mortgage
loans using the Company's "net branches" located across the
country.
o The GM Group, Inc. (d/b/a StarNet Retail) This subsidiary
markets mortgage loan products through exclusive programs
with various homebuilding companies.
o StarNet TRAkkER, Inc. This subsidiary originates sub-prime
mortgage loans using the TRAkkER proprietary
software/database system.
o StarNet Funding This division conducts wholesale loan
originations and processing operations via a nationwide
network of independent mortgage loan brokers.
o StarNet Loans.com This division conducts direct consumer
mortgage loan origination via the Internet.
BACKGROUND
StarNet (formerly known as Sarkis Capital, Inc.("Sarkis")) was
incorporated in March 1987, in Delaware. On May 13, 1999, Sarkis entered into
an exchange agreement with LoanNet, Inc., a Texas corporation ("LoanNet") and
the shareholders of LoanNet, whereby Sarkis agreed to acquire LoanNet, and its
subsidiary, The GM Group, Inc., a Texas corporation (sometimes referred to
herein as "GM") from the LoanNet shareholders in exchange for shares of Sarkis
common stock (the "Exchange Agreement"). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement,
Sarkis issued 9,000,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the
outstanding shares of LoanNet. The closing of the Exchange Agreement took place
on May 28, 1999. As part of the reorganization, Sarkis changed its name to
"StarNet Financial, Inc." in June 1999. The transaction was accounted for as a
reverse merger.
StarNet's principal executive office is located at 17000 Preston Road,
Suite 350, Dallas, Texas 75248 and its telephone number is (972) 239-2939.

STARNET FINANCIAL, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 - ORGANIZATION
StarNet Financial, Inc. ("StarNet") and its subsidiaries (collectively, with
StarNet, the "Company") began operations as a new mortgage company on February
2, 1999. The Company's strategy from the outset was to create a net branching
operation. It is the belief of Management that net profits from this business
plan will not be realized for at least the first two quarters of operation due
to the timing of obtaining licensing and approvals, opening regional and net
branch offices, and increasing the sales and marketing activities. This
business plan, however, did not include any acquisitions or mergers that
resulted in an immediate volume of revenue. On April 30, 1999, Management
altered the strategy and acquired The GM Group, Inc. ("GM") which brought with
it an active pipeline of mortgage loans and all associated revenues. Therefore
all revenues in the current fiscal period are the direct result of the purchase
of GM and its continuing operations. GM retained 100% of its own pipeline of
business, as well as all of its employees, and continued to operate as a wholly
owned subsidiary of StarNet.
On May 12, 1999, StarNet was acquired by a public shell company, Sarkis
Capital, Inc. ("Sarkis"). This transaction has been accounted for as a reverse
acquisition, in which StarNet is the acquirer for accounting purposes.
Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements are those of StarNet since
April 1, 1999. Before such date, Sarkis had no operations.
The following chart sets forth the corporate structure of the Company and its
100% owned subsidiaries and divisions at June 30, 1999:
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]

<PAGE> 9
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of StarNet Financial, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All inter-company
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial
statements.
Revenue Recognition - Revenues are recognized when services are performed and
are recorded as charges disclosed to customers per all related FNMA, HUD/FHA,
and RESPA rules and regulations.
Prepaid Expenses - Prepaid expenses represent advance payments made or
liabilities incurred on various contracts and agreements with initial terms of
one year or less. The carrying amount of prepaid expenses is determined by
comparing the remaining period of the agreement to its initial cost.
Warehouse Loans Receivable - At the end of each fiscal quarter, warehouse
receivables represent those loans that had been previously funded through the
warehouse line, but had not yet been paid off by the investor, less all accrued
interest.
Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements - Property and equipment are
stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from 3 to 10 years.
Goodwill - The net excesses of the aggregate purchase prices over the fair
market values of net assets resulting from the Sarkis/StarNet and StarNet/GM
acquisitions is included in the accompanying balance sheet as goodwill, and is
amortized over a twenty-year period using the straight-line method. The Company
periodically evaluates whether changes have occurred that would require
revision of the remaining estimated useful life of the assigned goodwill or
impair the recoverability of the carrying value of the goodwill. If such
circumstances arise, the Company records an impairment loss as the difference
between the estimate of the related after-tax income contribution, on a
discounted basis, and the carrying value of the goodwill. Any impairment loss
would be reported as a component of income from continuing operations before
tax.
Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the use of the
"liability method" of accounting for income taxes.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions - Management uses estimates and assumptions in
preparing its financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual
results may vary from the estimates that were used.
Loans in Process - The Company capitalizes certain expenditures (processing
fees, underwriting fees, flood certifications, etc.) on all loans in the
pipeline that have been reviewed, received loan commitment, and placed into
processing.
Warehouse Loans Payable - At the end of each fiscal quarter, warehouse payables
represent those loans that had been previously funded through the warehouse
line, but had not yet been paid off by the investor, plus all accrued interest.
3 - LEASES
The Company leases two office spaces and has no leased equipment. Total
combined rent expense during the period ended June 30, 1999, for all operating
leases was $22,069.16.
7
<PAGE> 10
4 - ACQUISITIONS
On June 30, 1999, the Company purchased 100% of GM's common stock. The
acquisition resulted in an immediate inflow of revenues from operations. GM
operates solely as a subsidiary to StarNet, operating with its own budget and
officers.
5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
At the time of the purchase of GM there was also an associated consulting
agreement for the management of the pipeline between GM and SW Pelco ("Pelco"),
a company owned by an employee of the Company. Per the agreement, Pelco is
responsible for maintaining the balance of the pipeline, but has no role in day
to day operations in the Company, and in return receives $8,000 per month for
such services. The acquisition also resulted in past due debts of GM being paid
off which had both late charges and accrued interest associated with them.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
PLAN OF OPERATION
1. THE COMPANY
StarNet Financial, Inc. is a full service mortgage banker comprised of
five distinct operating divisions or subsidiaries involved in mortgage loan
origination:
(a) StarNet Retail (d/b/a The GM Group, Inc.). A wholly owned
subsidiary that functions as the mortgage banker for the
entire Company. GM also participates in exclusive homebuilder
programs as well as originating through realtors, brokers,
etc.
(b) StarNet Mortgage. A wholly owned subsidiary which has a
network of branches throughout the country that originate
mortgage loans while actually operating as employees of the
Company.
(c) StarNet TRAkkER. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
which conducts sub-prime loan originating and underwriting
via a proprietary software and database system.
(d) StarNet Funding. A division of the Company which has
wholesale operations via a nationwide network of mortgage
brokers.
(e) StarNet Loans.com. A division of the Company which conducts
direct consumer mortgage loan origination via the Internet.
Secondary marketing, corporate and personnel administration,
accounting and certain technical functions operate on a corporate level and
provide support to each of the Company's operating divisions.
2. PLAN FOR EXPANSION
A. StarNet Retail
As of June 30, 1999, GM (d/b/a StarNet Retail) is the only division of
the company producing revenues. GM is party to two separate joint venture
agreements with Dallas, Texas, homebuilders.
1. Kimball Hill Homes ("KHH") - Based out of Chicago,
Illinois, and a nationwide builder for 30 years, KHH is relatively new to the
Dallas area. KHH sells roughly 250 homes per year in the Dallas area, of which
GM retains 95% of the related mortgages. the profit sharing agreement splits
all of the "pricing income" (i.e. origination, rate premium and/or discount,
and service release premium) 51% to 49% in favor of GM less any loan officer
commissions. As of June 30, 1999, the per loan amounts due to KHH was $860, or
0.66% of the funded amounts. Total amounts collected per loan before the splits
were $2,165, or 1.59%, of the funded amounts. There were also fees collected in
the amount of $862.50 per loan that are not shared in the joint venture
agreement but rather go entirely to GM. The joint venture is payable quarterly
on a calendar year.
2. Woodhaven Homes ("WH") - WH is located entirely in the
Dallas area. WH sells roughly 500 homes per year, of which GM retains 65% of
the related mortgages. the profit
9
<PAGE> 12
sharing agreement splits all of the "pricing income" (i.e. origination, rate
premium and/or discount, and service release premium) 51% to 49% in favor of WH
less any loan officer commissions. As of June 30, 1999, the per loan amounts
due to WH was $865, or 0.74% of the funded amounts. Total amounts collected per
loan before the splits were $2,145, or 1.83% of the funded amounts. There were
also fees collected in the amount of $862.50 that are not shared in the joint
venture agreement but rather go entirely to GM. the joint venture is payable
quarterly on the calendar year.
Retail Loan Officers - GM employs 8 retail loan officers who all
originate their own leads and pipelines and are paid full commission on each
loan they close. Full commission is 50% of the pricing income (i.e.,
origination, rate premium and/or discount, and service release premium). As of
June 30, 1999, retail loan officers collected on average 2.25%, or $2,135 per
loan.
Plans on expanding the GM division include the following:
a. Pursuing similar joint ventures with other
homebuilders.
b. Pursuing KHH in other areas of operation in Texas
(Austin, Houston, McAllen, and El Paso).
c. Capturing a higher percentage of WH volume by
expanding the product base to create more options
for their more specific buyers.
d. Recruiting more retail loan officers that are proven
in the industry and have active transferrable
pipelines.
B. StarNet Mortgage
StarNet Mortgage had no operating income as of June 30, 1999. However,
expenses were incurred due to efforts to start up the subsidiary.
Each state has its own licensure criteria and/or requirements that
must be satisfied before mortgage companies can originate loans within the
respective state. At the present time, StarNet is licensed or has applications
filled and pending in the following twenty-four (24) states:
(1) Arkansas (13) Ohio
(2) Arizona (14) Oklahoma
(3) California (15) Oregon
(4) Colorado (16) Pennsylvania
(5) Florida (17) South Carolina
(6) Georgia (18) Utah
(7) Indiana (19) Texas
(8) Kansas (20) Montana
(9) Michigan (21) Minnesota
(10) Nevada (22) Washington
(11) New Mexico (23) Wisconsin
(12) North Carolina (24) Wyoming
StarNet will continue to pursue licensing in other states as part of
its defined growth strategy to: (a) identify and prioritize desired markets
based upon projected activity and unique influences; (b) schedule recruitment
and screening efforts to coincide with the above; and (c) support entry into
new markets with carefully-timed and properly-targeted Company marketing
efforts. The Company anticipates being approved and licensed in virtually every
state across the country by the end of next year.
10
<PAGE> 13
Unlike traditional retail office operations where expansion into a new market
by the Company requires (a) finding, leasing and furnishing an office; (b)
recruiting and hiring originators and support personnel; and (c) implementing
start-up marketing programs, the net branch approach places the burden of
overhead on the branch rather than the Company. This enables the Company to
grow at an accelerated rate without a proportionate increase in operating
expenses.
The net branch program will offer a comprehensive package of benefits,
products, and services including:
(a) Affiliation with a national corporate identity.
(b) Full lender status as a mortgage banker and exemption from
certain regulatory licensing, fee disclosure and net worth
requirements.
(c) Access to a comprehensive and competitive product line.
(d) FHA and VA direct endorsement underwriting.
(e) Sub-prime underwriting via proprietary TRAkkER system.
(f) Improved processing efficiency via Internet-based automation
systems.
(g) Established investor relationships.
(h) Marketing programs and assistance.
(i) Staff training.
(j) Production and recruitment incentives.
(k) Accounting, bookkeeping and payroll services.
(l) Group benefits and health insurance because of employee
status.
(m) Participation in Company stock option plan to be established.
Company net branches will cover their own overhead expenses, maintain
their own profit-and-loss statements, and retain branch profits after
expenses. StarNet Mortgage will receive certain processing and document
preparation fees on a "per loan" basis from the branch to cover its own net
branch servicing expenses, while branch loan origination will contribute to
Company production, volume, growth, and profitability.
Geographical market coverage by Company net branch offices is expected
to coincide with StarNet's defined expansion/state licensing timetable.
Qualification criteria and hiring standards for prospective net branch
representatives have been established by management, adherence to which is
closely monitored by an executive oversight committee.
While StarNet Mortgage recognizes its ultimate market to be mortgage
consumers across the country, it also realizes that its primary avenue to these
consumers is through its net branch originators. Accordingly, the initial
marketing efforts presently underway are targeted at prospective Company
originators already established and successful in their respective markets.
Individuals and/or groups fitting this prospect profile include experienced
mortgage brokers and loan officers/originators with other mortgage companies or
financial institutions. Various means and media are being utilized by
management to reach these target markets including trade publications, direct
mail and trade show participation.
C. StarNet TRAkkER (Sub-Prime Underwriting)
The rights to this software/database system were acquired by the
Company through the formation of a strategic alliance with TRAkkER Corporation,
the system's creator.
StarNet TRAkkER operations are based in Charlotte, North Carolina, and
instant access and availability to the system and database will be maintained
in every Company corporate and branch location across the country. The TRAkkER
database is updated monthly to incorporate new loan programs, requirements,
restrictions and/or rate adjustments.
11
<PAGE> 14
D. StarNet Funding
StarNet Funding management has had working relationships with a
network of over 3,000 mortgage brokers across the country. Over 1,700 of these
brokers presently operate within StarNet's geographic marketplace.
Management anticipates wholesale production over the next twelve
months to exceed $100 million, and continue to grow at an accelerated rate as
the Company commences activity in other states.
E. StarNet Loans.com
The StarNet Loans.com systems presently under development by the
Company and its technical advisors will be a complete mortgage origination
portal.
StarNet intends to continue to streamline and refine its online
origination and processing procedures, enabling borrowers as well as the
Company to more directly benefit from the cost, speed and convenience
efficiencies made possible by improved techniques and technologies.
Company management recognizes that successful online origination
requires a comprehensive web marketing plan designed to attract attention,
generate traffic and ultimately reach prospective borrowers. As part of that
plan, the Company is presently negotiating a strategic alliance with a major
Internet service provider in order to enhance its visibility and exposure in
this arena.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Because StarNet is considered the accounting acquirer in the reverse
acquisition of Sarkis, there are no operations to be reported for the three
months ended June 30, 1999. As explained in the Plan of Operations above, part
of the Company's operations were in the start-up phase during the three months
ended June 30, 1999, resulting in a net loss of $273,947, compared to a net
loss of $59 during the three months ended June 30, 1998. However, GM did
produce revenues of $397,254 for the period ended June 30, 1999. Salaries and
benefits for the period amounted to $404,955 for the same period. No other
individual expense category amounted to more than $29,000 for the same period.
Because Sarkis was a public shell company prior to the acquisition, there were
no operations for the three months ended June 30, 1998, other than the net loss
of $59, to be compared to the three months ended June 30, 1999.
