INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Equity Technologies & Resources, Inc.
(formerly Equity AU, Inc.)
(A Development Stage Company)
Maitland, Florida
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Equity Technologies &
Resources, Inc. (formerly Equity AU, Inc.) (a development stage company) as of
December 31, 1999 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity
(deficit), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 and
from inception of the development stage on January 1, 1994 through December 31,
1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of 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.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Equity Technologies &
Resources, Inc. (formerly Equity AU, Inc.) (a development stage company) as of
December 31, 1999 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, and from inception of the development
stage on January 1, 1994 through December 31, 1999 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 6 to the
financial statements, the Company is a development stage company with recurring
losses which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in
Note 6. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 1999
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. History
The Company was organized on March 4, 1988 as a Delaware
corporation under the name Sherry Lynn Corporation. The Company
was organized as a public company for the purpose of finding a
suitable combination partner.
On December 6, 1988, the Company changed its name to Equity Gold,
Inc. The number of shares of common stock authorized to be issued
changed from 50,000,000 to 150,000,000 with a par value of $0.001
per share of common stock.
On December 14, 1989, the Company merged with Gold Equity, Inc., a
Delaware corporation. The surviving corporation was Equity Gold,
Inc.
On February 7, 1989, the Company changed its name to Equity AU,
Inc.
On April 14, 1989, the Company changed the number of authorized
shares of common stock to 99,900,000.
On November 7, 1991, the Company authorized 2,000,000 shares of
preferred stock with a par value of $1.00 each.
On February 19, 1992, the Company authorized 99,900,000 shares of
Class A common shares with a par value of $0.001 per share. The
Company authorized 100,000 shares of Class B common shares with a
par value of $0.01 per share.
In January, 2000, the Company elected to change its official name
from Equity AU, Inc. to Equity Technologies & Resources, Inc.
The Company engaged in research and development of a process to
extract gold and other precious metals on various real properties
located in Arkansas. Partnerships were formed prior to 1994 by the
Company or by affiliates of the Company to raise working capital,
acquire mineral claims, rights, facilities and equipment and to
explore for precious metals. In 1994, the Company was notified by
general partners of the partnerships that they were terminated and
dissolved.
The Company has had no significant operations since August 1993
and entered the development stage on January 1, 1994. During
September 1996, the Company resumed operations and again suspended
operations in December 1996. The Company can make no assumptions
as to if and when operations will resume again.
b. Accounting Method
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual
method of accounting. The Company has elected a December 31 year
end.

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES (Continued)
c. Use of Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
d. Basic Loss Per Share
The computation of basic loss per share of common stock is based
on the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding
during the periods of the financial statements as follows. Fully
diluted loss per share is not presented because of the
antidilutive nature of the common stock equivalents.

Loss per share $ (0.02) $ (0.02)
============= =============
e. Income Taxes
The Company is subject to the greater of federal income taxes
computed under the regular system or the alternative minimum tax
system. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income taxes." The statement
requires the use of an asset and liability approach for the
accounting and financial reporting of income tax. No deferred tax
asset has been recognized for the operating loss carryforward as
it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the net
operating loss will not be realized and any valuation allowance
would reduce the benefit to zero.
f. Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of financial statement presentation, the Company
considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less, from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
NOTE 2 - CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
The Company owed $58,830 as of December 31, 1999 in federal taxes.
Penalties and interest continue to accrue. Management has
determined that this will have no significant or material adverse
effect on the results of operations.

Notes to the Financial Statements

NOTE 2 - CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS (Continued)
On December 31, 1997, the Company canceled 8,402 Class A shares of
common stock. These shares had been authorized for issue during
prior years. No details were available as to whom the shares
should be issued to. Management canceled these shares which
resulted in contributed capital of $8,394.

NOTE 6 - GOING CONCERN
The Company has no capital resources available to meet current
obligations and develop its properties and bring into production a
profitable mining operation. The adverse effect on the Company's
results of operation due to its lack of capital resources can be
expected to continue until such time as the Company is able to
generate additional capital from other sources.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. Management has
implemented, or developed plans to implement, a number of actions
to address these conditions including: maintaining the most
attractive mining properties; selling the precious gems; obtaining
additional financing; and, investigating various joint venture
opportunities.
Additional funding will be necessary for the Company's development
plans. There can be no assurance that additional funding will be
available when needed or, if available, that the terms of such
financing will not adversely affect the Company's results from
operations.
The financial statements do not include any adjustment to reflect
the possible future effects on the recoverability and
classification of assets or the amounts and classification of
liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
