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.

         On August 4, 2000 the Company effected a 1:50 reverse stock split in
         anticipation of finding a suitable combination partner or another
         company to acquire.

         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.

         (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.

         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 September 30, 2000 and 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.

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.

         On December 31, 1997, the Company canceled 98,000 shares of Class A
         preferred stock, 272,200 shares of Class B preferred stock, and 10,200
         shares of Class C preferred stock. No record of owners of these shares
         could be determined. The results of the cancellation of these shares
         was contributed capital of $380,400. All dividends associated with the
         canceled shares were also canceled. The Company may be liable to the
         owners of these shares, should the owners of these shares be
         identified.

         At December 31, 1998, a creditor made a claim for approximately
         $20,000. Management contends the amount is not owed due to
         non-performance by the Lessor. The amount has been due since February
         1994.

         At December 31, 1998, a creditor made a claim for approximately
         $19,000. Management contends the amount is not owed due to
         non-performance by the creditor. The amount has been due since June
         1996.

         Company's common stock.

         In 1994, a related party loaned the Company $152,000 secured by the
         Company's land, buildings, and equipment. This note, plus interest, was
         due in the fourth quarter of 1996. The Company defaulted on the note.
         The property and equipment were claimed by the note holder and written
         off by the Company.

         During 1995, the Company paid $25,000 for services rendered by related
         parties and issued 2,500,000 shares of Class A common stock for
         additional services valued at $26,225.

         During 1997, the Company issued 1,029,500 shares of common A stock to a
         former President of the Company for services valued at $102,000. An

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.

operating capital. Management is uncertain of when operations will commence and
can give no assurances that operations will continue during the current fiscal
year. For the

present time Kentrust, Inc., certain related parties, and other third parties
are funding the cash requirements of the Company. There is no assurance as to
how long these parties will fund the Company. The Company is now actively
seeking an acquisition or merger candidate. Management can give no assurances as
to when, or if, a candidate will be identified.
