                    COLE COMPUTER CORPORATION
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Cole Computer
Corporation have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the
results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year.


NOTE 2.  THEFT LOSS

In May 1999, the Company suffered a theft loss of $127,755 through the
unauthorized use of credit cards.  Management has not written off this amount,
because they believe the amount is properly reimbursable.


NOTES 3.  SHORT-TERM NOTES PAYABLE

In connection with the theft loss, the Company agreed to repay the credit card
clearing bank, pending an investigation of liability, in 8 monthly
installments of $15,000 beginning July 20, 1999, plus a final installment of
the remaining balance on March 20, 2000, with no interest.

The Company borrowed $250,000 from a director, stockholder and major supplier.
This amount is unsecured and is repayable in February 2000, with 12% interest
payable monthly.

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

Plan of Operation.
- ------------------

          Computer Masters has developed the unique opportunity in the
computer markets with sales of parts, software, upgrade components and custom
designed computer systems coupled with quality and personal service to retail
and wholesale customers as well as local, state and federal government
agencies.

          This market niche exists because of the monumental and rapid changes
in the computer industry wherein a computer system from last year (or even
last month) needs to be upgraded due to technology advances. The ultimate
design of every computer system today must consider the need for
interchangeable parts so that these systems can be upgraded, with ease, when
future technology advances are made.

          Computer Masters has sought to fill this market need by its
selection of strategic suppliers, including Advanced Micro Devices, Microsoft
and many others, and has grown with such partners to now hold direct
purchasing power, which provides a substantial economic advantage over other
competitors in its area of focus.

          Computer Masters has found that rural and small-town computer
markets have been left alone by the major computer companies which have chosen
to focus on sales or complete systems alone or by major retailers who fail to
offer parts, upgrade components or professional support to the computer user.

          From its home base in central Oklahoma, Computer Masters has and
will continue to be in the development of select market areas in the Midwest,
especially rural and "small-town" America, which have been neglected by major
computer retailers. This niche currently seeks personal contact with quality
support and services to meet their information systems needs, no matter if
such consumer is a family, small business, school district, federal government
agency or military forces base.

Results of Operations.
- ----------------------

         The Company achieved revenues from commercial operations of
$2,183,846 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, as compared to $2,473,917
for the quarter ended September 30, 1998.  Such revenues were derived from
sales of computer systems, component parts and upgrade parts from its nine
storefront locations in Oklahoma and Arkansas.  During 1998, the Company
opened four new locations and is pleased to report significant activity
accomplishments at each existing and new location.

          During 1998, the Company's gross profit margin was an estimated
10.7% of net sales.   This includes wholesale, government and retail sales
activities.  No single customer accounted for more than 10% of sales
activities for the year.  This gross margin percentage reflects the opening of
four new store fronts in 1998.

          The Company incurred a ($29,822) net loss after taxes for the
quarter ended September 30, 1999, as compared to net income of $21,253 for the
quarter ended September 30, 1998.  Such activities include all costs
of operations along with incurred or accrued costs from the reorganization
activities between the public corporation and the privately held Computer
Masters.

Liquidity.
- ----------

           The Company had current assets of $76,507 in cash, $85,111 in
Accounts Receivable and $725,950 of inventory.  The Company had trade accounts
payable of $407,415, accrued expenses of $163,727, along with current portions
of installments and notes payable of $6,883.

Year 2000
- ---------

          All hardware products sold by the Company are Year 2000 compliant.
However, the Company accepts no responsibility or Y2K compliance with regards
to software.  Software compliance is the sole responsibility of its respective
manufacturers.

          The Company can give no assurance that third parties with whom it
intends to do business will ensure Year 2000 compliance in a timely manner or
that, if they do not, their computer systems will not have an adverse effect
on the Company.  However, the Company does not believe that Year 2000
compliance issues of third parties will result in a material adverse
effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
