Corporate Operations. The Company offers home cleaning services and
through its emphasis on budget pricing, has developed a niche in the
home cleaning industry. The Company currently operates two offices and
dispatches 40-50 workers daily, in teams of two. The Company specializes
in affordable home services needed daily by millions of customers. The
Company through its wholly owned subsidiary Beautymax.com is developing
a powerful e-commerce web site. The Company has entered into a web site
development contract with Meurer Marketing of Los Angeles to development
its store web site The site will be designed and built to produce a
world-wide marketing of cosmetic, hair care, nail and skin care and
general beauty lines on a discounted basis. Beautymax.com will catalogue
popular products, primarily to females 18-40 years, including a
department aimed at ethnic customers. Visitors to the online store will
be able to shop 24 hours a day, regardless of world time zones, and
online customers will be able to shop and order in English, Spanish, or
French.
Distribution and Marketing for home cleaning services will be through
print adds, television and radio commercials. Secondly on a local level,
management uses a call back system for quality control; customers who
are not happy after service are offered a discount fro a makeup. Our
customer policies allow us to reward each customer with a future
discount for referring a friend for service.
Beauty products will be marked over the "World Wide Web" via the
"Internet". All customer orders will be implimented by online credit
card or cyber cash systems with a virtual shopping cart. Actual in-house
staff is projected at 3 employees. Initially we anticipate a catalogue
format with about 1000-3000 products, new product lines will be added as
web traffic and "hits" increase.
Competition. The home cleaning and beauty care related sales industries
are highly competitive with respect to price, service, quality and
internet location. As a result anyone in these arena's may have a high
failure rate. There are numerous well-established competitors,
possessing substantially greater financial, marketing, personnel and
other resources than the company. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to respond to various competitive factors affecting
the business.
Principal suppliers. The company is in contract negotiations with
suppliers of beauty related items, and has verbal commitments from three
suppliers, however does not have any principal suppliers at this time.
Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers. The Company does not expect
that any single customer will account for more than ten percent of its
business.
Need for Government approval. At the present time there is no need for
government approval, this may change in the future.
Research and Development. There has been no research and development to
date.
Employees. The Company has three full time employees.
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Trends and uncertainties. Demand for the Company's home cleaning
services and Beautymax products will be dependent on, among other
things, market acceptance of the Company's concept, the quality of its
Web site and general economic conditions which are cyclical in nature.
Inasmuch as a major portion of the Company's activities is the receipt
of revenues form the sales of its products, the Company's business
operations may be adversely affected by the Company's competitors and
prolonged recessionary periods.
Capital and Source of Liquidity. The company will require substantial
capital in order to meet its current and strategic business plan. As of
March 31, 1999 the Company has issued 12,816,604 Common Shares valued at
$12,816.60
Page 2
<PAGE>
On a long term basis, liquidity is dependent on continuation and
expansion of operations, receipt of revenues, additional infusions of
capital and debt financing. The Company believes that additional capital
and debt financing in the short term will allow the Company to develop
its Home Cleaning and Beauty related products marketing. However , there
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional
equity or debt financing in the future, if at all.
Plan of Operation. The Company is not delinquent on any of its
obligations even though the Company has begun to generate revenue. The
Company intends to market its products utilizing cash made available
from the private and public sale of its securities. The Company is of
the opinion that revenues from the sales of its products and joint
ventures along with proceeds of the sale of its securities will be
sufficient to pay its expenses.
ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company's executive offices are located at 4614 North University
Drive, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33351. These offices consist of 1,100
square feet, which are leased month to month for $1,000.00 per month.

officer of the Company, or served any other enterprise as director,
officer or employee at the request of the Company. The Board of

a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceedings) is asserted by
such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with any
securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of
its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS OR PERSONS CONTROLLING THE CORPORATION FOR
LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, IS HELD TO BE
AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AND IS
THEREFORE UNENFORCEABLE.

To the Board of Directors
ATR INDUSTRIES, INC. (a Nevada corporation) & SUBSIDIARIES
4614 North University Drive
Lauderhill, Florida 33351
I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of ATR Industries, Inc. (a
Nevada corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998
and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows
for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my
opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of ATR Industries, Inc. (a Nevada
corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
