Item 1.  Business.

GENERAL

         Equity Technologies & Resources, Inc. ("Equity", or "the Company") is a
Delaware corporation, the successor to Equity AU, Inc., which was engaged in the
exploration and mining of certain minerals in Arkansas. The principal corporate
offices are now located at 1050 Chinoe Road, Suite 304, Lexington, Kentucky
40502 and its telephone number is (859) 268-4446. Equity AU, Inc. ceased all
mining activity in December 1996. The corporation changed its name to Equity
Technologies & Resources, Inc. in 2000 which was an integral part of the change
in focus of the Company. In December 2000 Verified Prescription Safeguards, Inc.
was acquired by Equity Technologies & Resources, Inc. It will be operated as a
wholly owned subsidiary as a solution provider for the prescription drug
industry.

HISTORY AND CURRENT ACTIVITY

         In February of 1995, then Chairman of the Company, James Arch ("Mr.
Arch") reached an agreement with a shareholder and investor, Stephen Guarino, to
invest significant equity capital into the Company. Mr. Arch thereafter granted
full management and financial control to Mr. Guarino. The then current
President, Kingman L. Hitz resigned, and all operations were moved to Mena,
Arkansas. Director Gail W. Holderman resigned shortly thereafter. Mr. Guarino
was appointed with the official title of President in May of 1995, and was also
appointed as a Director, along with William Hanlon and Roger Tichenor. Kingman
Hitz had not received notice of any meetings, and subsequently resigned as a
director in July of 1995. In early 1996, a partnership controlled by Mr. Arch
foreclosed on the Company's property and equipment which had been pledged for
loans received from the partnership.

         In June of 1996, Mr. Guarino, Mr. Hanlon, and Mr. Tichenor resigned all
of their positions with the Company, and Mr. Arch entered into agreements with
Mr. Guarino and Mr. Tichenor to purchase all of the Class A Common shares which
had been previously issued to them.

         Mr. Arch elected to resume operations at Mena, Arkansas on June 1,
1996. Ore production was commenced in early September, 1996. Management
determined that the operation could not be profitable and operations were
terminated.

                                       2

         In November, 2000 Frank G. Dickey, Jr. was elected President of Equity
AU, Inc. Unable to find a suitable company for merger or acquisition, the
Company changed its name to Equity Technologies & Resources, Inc. and continued
to seek a merger or acquisition candidate. In December, 2000 Verified
Prescription Safeguards, Inc. was acquired. It will be operated as a wholly
owned subsidiary as a solution provider for the prescription drug industry.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors
Equity Technologies & Resources, Inc. and Subsidiary
(A Development Stage Company)
Lexington, Kentucky

We  have  audited  the  accompanying   consolidated   balance  sheet  of  Equity
Technologies & Resources,  Inc. and Subsidiary (a development  stage company) as
of December  31, 2000 and the related  consolidated  statements  of  operations,
stockholders' equity (deficit),  and cash flows for the years ended December 31,
2000 and 1999 and from  inception  of the  development  stage on January 1, 1994
through  December 31, 2000.  These  consolidated  financial  statements  are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated 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  consolidated  financial  statements are
free of material  misstatement.  An audit includes  examining,  on a test basis,
evidence  supporting the amounts and disclosures in the  consolidated  financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant  estimates  made by  management,  as well as evaluating  the overall
consolidated  financial  statement  presentation.  We  believe  that our  audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects,  the consolidated financial position of Equity
Technologies & Resources,  Inc. and Subsidiary (a development  stage company) as
of December 31, 2000 and the consolidated  results of their operations and their
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, and from inception of
the development stage on January 1, 1994 through December 31, 2000 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying  consolidated  financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 7 to the
consolidated  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 7. The consolidated  financial  statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
                           December 31, 2000 and 1999

NOTE 1 -      NATURE OF ORGANIZATION

              The  consolidated  financial  statements  presented  are  those of
              Equity  Technologies  &  Resources,   Inc.  and  its  wholly-owned
              subsidiary,  Verified Prescription Safeguards,  Inc. Collectively,
              they are  referred  to herein as "the  Company."  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 changed its 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 December  15,  2000,  the Company  acquired  all the issued and
              outstanding common stock of Verified Prescription Safeguards, Inc.
              ("VPS") in exchange  for 40,000  shares of the  Company's  Class-B
              voting  preferred stock. At the time the purchase was consummated,
              VPS held no assets or liabilities. The consolidated entity elected
              to change its business plan toward the  development  and marketing
              of internet prescription drug technology. Management intends to us
              the  majority  of funds  obtained  toward  this  development.  The
              purchase price of the acquired subsidiary was determined among the
              parties to be 40,000 shares of Class-B preferred shares redeemable
              at $500 per share  ($20,000,000).  The preferred shares issued are
              redeemable  for cash at $500  per  share  payable  from 50% of net
              revenues  of the  subsidiary  for the next seven  years.  Since no
              revenues have been generated and payment is to be paid from future
              revenues,  the  acquisition  was  recorded  at a $-0-  value.  The
              Company is contingently liable for the $20,000,000  purchase price
              if sufficient revenues are generated. If and when the liability is
              recorded  in the  future,  corresponding  goodwill  will  also  be
              recorded.

                 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
                           December 31, 2000 and 1999


NOTE 2 -      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

              a.  Accounting Method

              The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using
              the  accrual  method of  accounting.  The  Company  has  elected a
              December 31 year end.

              b.  Use of Accounting Estimates

              The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity
              with generally accepted accounting  principles requires management
              to make certain  estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
              reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying
              notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

              c.  Basic Loss Per Share

              The  computation  of basic loss per share of common stock is based
              on the weighted  average number of shares  outstanding  during the
              period of the  consolidated  financial  statements.  The Company's
              preferred  shares have been  excluded  from the basic net loss per
              share calculation as they are antidilutive.

              d.  Provision for Taxes

              At  December  31,  2000,   the  Company  had  net  operating  loss
              carryforwards  of  approximately  $7,600,000  that  may be  offset
              against  future  taxable  income through 2020. No tax benefits has
              been reported in the consolidated  financial  statements,  because
              the potential tax benefits of the net operating loss carryforwards
              are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

NOTE 3  -     CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

              The Company owed $65,300 as of December 31, 2000 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.

              On December 31, 1997,  the Company  canceled 168 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.

              During the year ended  December 31, 2000,  the Company  received a
              loan  from  an  unrelated  party  for  $75,000.  As  part  of  the
              agreement,  the Company  guaranteed  payment from a third party to
              the same  creditor  for an  additional  $75,000.  Should the third
              party default on the loan,  the Company may be held liable for the
              $75,000 plus accrued interest.

NOTE 6 -      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

              Arkansas  American Mining and  Exploration,  Inc. (AAME) was owned
              and  controlled  by the  founders of the  Company.  In 1988,  AAME
              exchanged mining claims, milling facility and a core drilling rig,
              for the 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 agreement has been made with this former officer for
              continued consulting services.

              On December 23, 1998, the Company  borrowed $61,000 from Kentrust,
              Inc.,  an entity whose CEO is a director of the Company.  The note
              carried a 10% interest  rate, and was due on December 23, 1999. In
              1999, the Company borrowed an additional $104,500 from Kentrust at
              10%. During the year, the entire $165,500 became overdue and began
              accruing  interest at a rate of 12% per annum.  A $16,550  penalty
              for late payment was also levied against the Company.  At December
              31, 2000, the principal balance on this note remained at $165,000.

                 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
                           December 31, 2000 and 1999


NOTE 7 -      GOING CONCERN

              The  Company  has  limited  operations  and has not  been  able to
              develop  an  ongoing,  reliable  source  of  revenues  to fund its
              existence.  The Company's day-to-day expenses have been covered by
              cash  obtained  from the issuance of stock,  and by proceeds  from
              notes  payable.  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 the acquisition of Verified
              Prescription  Safeguards,  Inc.,  which  management  believes will
              provide  opportunities for growth within the internet prescription
              drug industry.

              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   consolidated   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.
