            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.

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
$2,562,892 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to $1,619,753 for
the quarter ended March 31, 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 ($24,727) net loss after taxes for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to a net income of $33,064 after
taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 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 $58,586 in cash, $126,921 in
Accounts Receivable and $880,275 of inventory.  The Company had trade accounts
payable of $666,326, accrued purchases/expenses of $116,927, along with
current portions of installments and notes payable of $9,332.

          The Company also raised $392,900 through the sale of 392,900 shares
of its common stock ("restricted securities") during 1998.

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.
