herein sometimes collectively referred to as the "Reporting Persons.")

            The name, business address, present principal occupation or
employment and citizenship of each director and executive officer of each of the
Reporting Persons are set forth on Schedules I through VII hereto. During the
past five years no Reporting Person nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting
Persons, any of the persons listed on Schedules I through VII has been convicted

or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of
competent jurisdiction which resulted in him or it being subject to a judgment,
decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or
mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any
violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

            GIN99 acquired the Preferred Shares and Warrants (as such terms are
defined in Item 5(a)-(b)) in exchange for 100% of the membership interests in
GIN99, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement dated April 9, 1999.

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

            GIN99 acquired the Preferred Shares and Warrants for investment
purposes. None of the Reporting Persons has any current plans or proposals which
relate to or would result in (a) the acquisition by any person of additional
securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer, (b) an
extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or
liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (c) a sale or
transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its
subsidiaries, (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of

                                       9
<PAGE>

inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association,
(i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination
of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, or (j) any action similar to any of the enumerated actions in (a) through
(i) above.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

            (a)-(b) GIN99 owns 736,450 class B preferred shares of the Issuer
(the "Preferred Shares") and warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Issuer
(the "Warrants"). Each Preferred Share is convertible at the option of the
holder into 10 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. Each Warrant expires on
November 9, 2001 and entitles the holder to purchase 2,400,000 shares of Common
Stock of the Issuer at a price of $0.24 per share. Accordingly, GIN99 may be
deemed the beneficial owner of 9,764,500 shares of the Common Stock of the
Issuer, representing 27.85% of the 35,057,086 shares of Common Stock (i)
outstanding as of the date hereof, (ii) into which the Preferred Shares may be
converted and (iii) for which the Warrants may be exercised.

            Pursuant to an Assignment Agreement dated April 9, 1999 (the
"Assignment Agreement"), 100% of the Type A and Type B membership units of GIN99
were transferred by assignment to Lighthouse. Lighthouse contributed a 20%
interest in the Type B membership units of GIN99 to each of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, E-Commerce, E-Links, E-Sales, E-Trade and E-Business. Lighthouse,
E-Commerce, E-Links, E-Sales, E-Trade and E-Business may each be deemed a
beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer beneficially owned
by GIN99 by reason of the ownership by Lighthouse of each of E-Commerce,
E-Links, E-Sales, E-Trade and E-Business, each of which in turn owns 20% of the
membership interests of GIN99.

            Accordingly, for purposes of this Statement: (i) GIN99 is reporting
that it has the sole power to vote or direct the vote and the power to dispose
or direct the disposition of the total of 9,764,500 shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by it, (ii) Lighthouse is reporting that it shares the power
to vote or direct the vote and the power to dispose or direct the disposition of
the 9,764,500 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by GIN99, (iii)
E-Commerce is reporting that it shares the power to vote or direct the vote and
the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the 9,764,500 shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by GIN99, (iv) E-Links is reporting that it shares the
power to vote or direct the vote and the power to dispose or direct the
disposition of the 9,764,500 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by GIN99,
(v) E-Sales is reporting that it shares the power to vote or direct the vote and
the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the 9,764,500 shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by GIN99, (vi) E-Trade is reporting that it shares the
power to vote or direct the vote and the power to dispose or direct the
disposition of the 9,764,500 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by GIN99,
and (vii) E-Business is reporting that it shares the power to vote or direct the
vote and the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the 9,764,500 shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned by GIN99, in each case representing
approximately 27.85% of the as adjusted shares of Common Stock outstanding.

            Other than as described above, GIN99 has the sole power to vote or
direct the vote and to dispose or direct the disposition of all the shares of
Common Stock stated to be beneficially owned by GIN99 in Items 5(a)-(b) hereof.

            (c)-(e) Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to
          Securities of the Issuer.

            The description that follows of certain provisions of the Assignment
Agreement and form of Warrant included as Exhibits 7.1 and 7.2, respectively,
hereto, is not, and does not purport to be, complete, and is qualified in its

            (b) GIN99 also holds warrants to purchase 2,400,000 shares of Common
Stock of the Issuer, exercisable at a purchase price of $0.24 per share of
Common Stock, at any time before November 9, 2001, a form of which is
incorporated by reference as Exhibit 7.2.

            Except as set forth herein or in the Exhibits filed or to be filed
herewith, no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or
otherwise) between the Reporting Persons and any other person exists with
respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to transfer
