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

(A) Financial Results of the First Quarter, Fiscal Year 2001. During the quarter
that ended September 30, 2000, Progressive Asset Management, Inc. ("PAM")
continued to produce positive financial results. PAM generated total revenues of
$140,558 in relation to expenses of $101,383. This means that PAM had net income
of $39,175 for the quarter--with earnings of 0.02 cents per share (0.01 cents
per share, fully diluted. In comparison, for the same quarter in the previous
fiscal year PAM earned total revenues of $121,508 in relation to $109,502 in
expenses, yielding $ 11,996 in net profit.

As we have discussed in past reports, under the new strategic alliance with
Financial West Group ("FWG"), FWG executes securities transactions and receives
the commissions for registered representatives who are members of the PAM
Network. Then FWG distributes the preponderance of the commissions to the
registered representatives, retaining a portion which is shared with PAM.

The financial results for the fifth quarter under this new system provide
continuing positive confirmation of PAM's new business plan.

(B) National Office Move. PAM's national office is in the process of moving to
1010 Oak Grove Road, Concord, CA 94518. The phone number will remain
800-786-2898, and the email address will remain [email protected]. The
move will be made the end of calendar year 2000.

(C) Bottom Line 2001 Conference. PAM is joining with the



                                       5
<PAGE>   6

E-Education Advisors to co-convene a new conference, Bottom Line 2001: The
Future of Fiduciary Responsibility. The Conference will take place at The Mark
Hopkins Hotel in San Francisco, California, April 18 through April 20, 2001.

Bottom Line 2001 will be the inaugural, educational conference for fiduciaries
designed to explore and debate the growing inclusion of social and environmental
factors within the context of public and private fiduciary responsibility. The
conference will invite elected officials public fiduciaries, trustees, and staff
from pension funds, foundations, religious organizations, labor unions, family
trust offices, colleges and universities to examine these issues in an
educational environment.

PAM and E-Education Advisors have developed a high-quality program for Bottom
Line 2001. A wide range of investment organizations have agreed to cosponsor the
conference. Invitations have been sent out and early interest on the pail of the
institutional investment community is high.

(D) ProgressiveTrade. In September 2000, and as reported in PAM's Annual Report,
PAM agreed to move forward in a strategic alliance with Sustainable Systems,
Inc., to establish ProgressiveTrade as a new company to offer
socially-responsible investing to on-line investors. PAM will own 70% of the
initial stock of ProgressiveTrade and Sustainable Systems will own 30%.

The purpose of ProgressiveTrade is to design and build an on-line social
screening system that offers investors a way to create and apply their own
social and environmental screens to evaluate investments and then execute trades
in those investments through one or more affiliated on-line brokerages.

ProgressiveTrade is being formed as a new corporation with offices in the
Communication Technology Cluster business incubator in downtown Oakland. A full
business plan is being completed and initial capital is being raised. At
present, PAM's maximum financial commitment to this endeavor is $100,000.

(D) Conclusion. Management is pleased that PAM's new business model is working,
the financial results of the first three-quarters are favorable, and the PAM
Network is growing. We continue to appreciate the support of our shareholders as
PAM offers investors the opportunity to invest for financial return and social
progress.

political attitude towards socially-responsible investments. PAM cautions that

these areas could cause PAM's results to differ materially from results that
