                         INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT



Board of Directors
Equitex, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Equitex, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2001, and the related condensed
consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods
then ended, the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders' equity for
the six months ended June 30, 2001 and cash flows for the six-month periods
ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management.

We  conducted  our  reviews in  accordance  with  standards  established  by the
American  Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants.  A  review  of  interim
financial  information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial  data and making  inquiries of persons  responsible  for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the  expression  of an opinion  regarding the  financial  statements  taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of
June 30, 2001 and for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and
2000 for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2000, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated
March 30, 2001, except for Notes 16, 20, and 21, as to which the date is May 15,
2001, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2000, is fairly stated,
in all material respects, in relation to the balance sheet from which it has
been derived.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                     SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2000

1.   Basis of presentation:

     The condensed consolidated financial statements of Equitex, Inc. and
       subsidiaries (the "Company") for the three-month and six-month periods
       ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, have been prepared by the Company without
       audit by the Company's independent auditors. In the opinion of the
       Company's management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
       financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company
       as of June 30, 2001, and for the periods then ended have been made. Those
       adjustments consist only of normal and recurring adjustments, except for
       those described in Note 2. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
       December 31, 2000, has been derived from the audited consolidated balance
       sheet of the Company as of that date.

     Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company's
       annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
       accepted accounting principals have been condensed or omitted. These
       condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
       with a reading of the financial statements and notes thereto included in
       the Company's Form 10-K/A annual report for 2000, filed with the
       Securities and Exchange Commission on May 16, 2001. The results of
       operations for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, are not
       necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

     The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods
       ended June 30, 2001 include the accounts of Equitex, Inc., and the
       following significant subsidiaries: nMortgage, Inc. ("nMortgage"), and
       through June 28, 2000, it's wholly-owned subsidiary First Bankers
       Mortgage Services, Inc. ("FBMS"), First Teleservices Corporation ("FTC"),
       Triumph Sports Group, Inc. ("Triumph") and Meridian Services, Inc.
       ("Meridian"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
       been eliminated in consolidation.

     Minority interest at June 30, 2001, represents issued and outstanding
       preferred stock of nMortgage and Meridian. Minority interest reflected
       in the Company's statement of operations for the six months ended June
       30, 2001 represents net losses of nMortgage allocated to minority
       preferred stockholders.

     On August 6, 2001, the Company acquired Nova Financial Systems, Inc., a
       Florida corporation ("Nova") and Key Financial Systems, Inc. ("Key"),
       both companies that were under common control with nearly an identical
       ownership structure, in exchange for (i) 9,084,773 shares of the
       Company's common stock, (ii) cash consideration of $5 million, (iii)
       warrants to acquire an aggregate of 990,134 shares of the Company's
       common stock exercisable at $0.02 per share, and (iv) warrants to acquire
       an aggregate of 3,933,350 shares of the Company's common stock
       exercisable at $5.65 per share. In order to raise the cash consideration
       of $5 million, the Company issued two new series of convertible preferred
       stock; the Series H 8% Convertible Preferred Stock which raised an
       aggregate of $2,359,000, and the Series I 6% Convertible Preferred Stock
       which raised an aggregate of $4,000,000. (Notes 4 and 8)

2.   Rescission of FBMS Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and divestiture of
     FBMS:

     Effective June 28, 2000, the Company entered into a rescission agreement
       with the previous owner of FBMS, in which the Company and the previous
       owner agreed to rescind the terms of the August 23, 1999 FBMS Agreement
       and Plan of Reorganization (the "August 23, 1999 Agreement"). Under the
       terms of the rescission agreement, all assets and liabilities of FBMS as
       of June 28, 2000 were returned to the previous owner of FBMS.

     Pursuant to the terms of the settlement relating to the rescission
       agreement, the parties agreed that nMortgage was to retain certain
       technological rights which were developed subsequent to August 23, 1999.
       In addition, as part of the settlement, the Company agreed to issue up to
       50 additional shares of Series E convertible preferred stock relating to
       certain performance conditions pursuant to the FBMS acquisition that were
       satisfied prior to the rescission (Note 4).

2.   Rescission of FBMS Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and divestiture of
     FBMS (continued):

     As a result of the rescission agreement, the Company divested itself of the
       assets, liabilities, and operations of FBMS as of June 28, 2000, and as a
       result, recorded a loss of $3,979,000, represents the write off of the
       Company's investment in FBMS, including remaining goodwill as of the date
       of the rescission. The operating results of FBMS have been included in
       the consolidated statements of operations from the date of acquisition
       through the date of rescission.

     The following pro forma information has been prepared assuming the
       rescission of FBMS had taken place on January 1, 2000. The pro forma
       information includes adjustments to remove the operating results of FBMS,
       related amortization of goodwill arising from the acquisition of FMBS,
       the loss on the FBMS rescission, and to include amortization expense
       related to the technological rights retained in the rescission
       transaction.

     The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the
       results of operations as they would have been had the transaction been
       effected on the assumed date.

                                                        Six months ended
                                                          June 30, 2000

3.   Commitments and contingencies:

     Litigation:

     On August 18, 2000, William G. Hays, Jr., liquidating agent for RDM Sports
       Group, Inc. and related debtors, filed an adversary proceeding against
       the Company, Smith Gambrell and Russell, LLP, David J. Harris, P.C. and
       David J. Harris, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
       District of Georgia, Newnan Division, Adversary Proceeding No. 00-1065.
       The liquidating agent alleges that the Company breached its October 29,
       1987 consulting agreement with RDM, breached fiduciary duties allegedly
       owed to RDM, and that the Company is liable for civil conspiracy and
       acting in concert with directors of RDM. The liquidating agent is seeking
       unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, along with attorney's
       fees, costs and interest. On April 2, 2001, the court granted the
       Company's motion to enforce the arbitration clause contained in the
       consulting agreement. The Company intends to vigorously defend this
       matter. Because this matter is in the preliminary stages and no
       arbitration date has been set, it is too early to predict the outcome of
       this matter.

3.   Commitments and contingencies (continued):

     Litigation (continued):

     The Company is involved in various other claims and legal actions arising
       in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the
       ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse
       impact either individually or in the aggregate on consolidated results of
       operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.

     Consulting and employment agreements:

     In connection with the acquisition of Meridian in September 2000, the
       Company entered into certain consulting and employment agreements which
       require nMortgage to issue to the consultant/employee common shares of
       nMortgage equal to 2% of the issued and outstanding common shares of
       nMortgage on a fully diluted basis. The Company has recognized $124,000
       of expense during the six months ended June 30, 2001, in accordance with
       these agreements. The employment agreement also required nMortgage to
       grant to the employee options to purchase up to 150,000 shares of
       nMortgage common stock at $1.00 per share, the estimated fair value of
       the nMortgage common stock at the date of grant.

     In September 2000, the Company entered into a consulting agreement for

4.   Stockholders' equity (continued):

     Series D convertible preferred stock (continued):

     The Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at any time,
       at a conversion price per share of common stock equal to 65% of the
       average closing bid price of the Company's common stock as specified in
       the agreement.

     In May and June 2001, 475 shares of the Series D Preferred Stock plus
       accrued dividends of $65,401 on those shares, were converted into 127,364
       shares of common stock, at an average conversion price of $4.24 per
       share.

     Series E convertible preferred stock and receivable from former Series E
     preferred stockholder:

     In connection with the August 23, 1999 acquisition of FBMS, the Company
       issued 250 shares of Series E convertible preferred stock (the "Series E
       Preferred Stock") valued at approximately $2,531,000, and contingent
       consideration consisting of up to 750 shares of Series E Preferred Stock,
       as specified in the acquisition agreement. In conjunction with the June
       28, 2000 FBMS rescission agreement, the Company agreed to issue an
       additional 50 shares of Series E Preferred Stock to the owner relating to
       certain performance conditions pursuant to the FBMS acquisition that were
       satisfied prior to rescission. The 50 additional shares of Series E
       preferred stock are convertible into 50,000 shares of common stock and
       are valued at $368,750, which was based on the quoted market price of the
       underlying shares of common stock at the date of rescission, and which
       was recorded as expense by the Company in 2000.

     In June 2001, all 300 shares of the Series E Preferred Stock were converted
       into 300,000 shares of common stock, at a conversion price of $1,000 per
       share.

     Certain FBMS obligations totaling $597,145 and $553,645 at June 30, 2001
       and December 31, 2000, respectively, most of which were guaranteed by the
       Company, were paid on behalf of the Company by the Company's president or
       by the Company's subsidiary, nMortgage. The Company recorded a payable to
       the president as well as a receivable from the previous owner of FBMS,
       who is also the former Series E preferred stockholder. Due to the
       uncertainty regarding the ultimate realization of the receivable, the
       balance is classified as a reduction to stockholders' equity at June 30,
       2001 and December 31, 2000.

4.   Stockholders' equity (continued):

     Series F convertible preferred stock:

     In connection with the Company's acquisition of Meridian in September 2000,
       the Company issued a total of 460,000 shares of Series F convertible
       preferred stock (the "Series F Preferred Stock"), valued at $6.50 per
       share, which was the quoted market price of the Company's common stock on
       September 7, 2000 (the date the agreement was signed). The Series F
       Preferred Stock includes a stated value of $8.00 per share and contains a
       liquidation preference in the amount of 105% of the stated value. Series
       F preferred stockholders are entitled to dividends in the amount declared
       with respect to the Company's common stock.

     In July 2001, all 460,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock were converted
       into 525,716 shares of common stock, at a conversion price of $7.00 per
       share.

     Series G redeemable convertible preferred stock:

     In September 2000, the Company issued 1,300 shares of 6%, Series G
       convertible preferred stock (the "Series G Preferred Stock") along with
       warrants to purchase 130,000 shares of common stock for $1,000 per share,
       which is the stated value per share (total proceeds of $1,300,000 less
       issue costs of $60,000). The Series G Preferred Stock is convertible,
       together with any accrued but unpaid dividends, at any time into shares
       of the Company's common stock at a conversion price per share equal to
       the lesser of $6.50 or 65% of the average closing bid price of the
       Company's common stock as specified in the agreement. The warrants were
       valued at $242,000 utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and
       therefore $242,000 of the total proceeds was allocated to the warrants,
       resulting in an imputed interest rate of 7.4%.

     Because the Series G Preferred Stock contained an immediate beneficial
       conversion feature, both additional paid-in capital and the accumulated
       deficit were increased by $700,000 during the third quarter of 2000, the
       amount of the discount resulting from the beneficial conversion feature.
       The holder of the Series G Preferred Stock is entitled to cumulative
       dividends at 6% per annum plus a 4% dividend default rate, payable
       quarterly commencing September 30, 2000. Dividends are payable in cash
       or, at the Company's option, in shares of the Company's common stock. All
       outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock automatically convert into
       common stock on August 31, 2003. The Series G Preferred Stock is
       redeemable at the Company's option at any time through August 31, 2003 at
       a redemption price equal to $1,350 per share plus any accrued but unpaid
       dividends. Through June 30, 2001, the Company recorded a $650,500
       accretion to the Series G Preferred Stock balance so that the carrying
       value of the Series G Preferred Stock will equal the redemption amount at
       the redemption date.

     In May 2001, the Company satisfied criteria which removed the manadatory
       redemption requirements from the Series G Preferred Stock terms; and
       therefore the Series G Preferred Stock has been reclassified to
       stockholders' equity at June 30, 2001.

       issue costs of approximately $300,000). Each share of Series H Preferred
       Stock automatically converted into 200 shares of the Company's common

       retail stores in exchange for a $268,000 note receivable. In connection

         common stock from 7,500,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares.

     B.  A proposal to provide for the distribution by the Company of all of its
         assets (which primarily consist of its investments in subsidiaries) to
         Equitex 2000; the assumption of all the Company's liabilities by
         Equitex 2000; and the subsequent distribution of Equitex 2000 common
         shares to the stockholders of the Company in a spin off transaction.

     C.  A proposal to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Nova and
         Key, companies under common control with nearly an identical ownership
         structure, in exchange for 50% of the outstanding common stock of the
         Company on a post acquisition basis, cash consideration of $5 million
         and a warrant. Effective August 6, 2001 the Company completed these
         acquisitions.

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed statements of operations for
       the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2001, and for the year
       ended December 31, 2000, give effect to the transactions described above
       as if they had occurred effective January 1, 2001 and January 1, 2000
       respectively. The following unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet
       as of June 30, 2001, gives effect to the transactions as if they had
       occurred on June 30, 2001.

     The summary historical data has been derived from and should be read in
       conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the
       Company, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended
       December 31, 2000, and its unaudited interim financial statements

        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                     SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2000

8.   Unaudited pro forma financial information (continued):

     These unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements do not purport to
       present results which would actually have been obtained if the
       transactions had been in effect during the periods covered or any future
       results which may in fact be realized. These unaudited pro forma
       condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
       accompanying notes and the separate historical financial statements of
       the Company referred to above.

     Description of Equitex pro forma adjustments:

     A.  To reflect the distribution by the Company of all of its assets to
         Equitex 2000, and the assumption by Equitex 2000 of the Company's
         liabilities.

     B.1 To reflect the issuance of 2,359 shares of Series H Preferred Stock in
         exchange for net proceeds of $2,059,000 (net of $300,000 issue costs),
         which is to be used along with the proceeds from the Series I Preferred
         Stock (see B.2) in connection with the Company's acquisition of Key and
         Nova. All shares of Series H Preferred Stock converted into 471,800
         shares of the Company's common stock on July 19, 2001.

     B.2 To reflect the issuance of 4,000 shares of Series I Preferred Stock in
         exchange for net proceeds of $3,500,000 (net of $500,000 issue costs),
         which is to be used along with the proceeds from the Series H Preferred
         Stock in connection with the Company's acquisitions of Key and Nova.

     B.3 To reflect the conversion of all 460,000 shares of Series F Preferred
         Stock into 525,716 shares of the Company's common stock on July 19,
         2001.

     B.4 To reflect the issuance of 112,500 shares of the Company's common stock
         to consultants upon the exercise of warrants and the issuance of
         320,450 shares to related parties for debt conversions and the purchase
         of receivables prior to the completion of the acquisitions.

     C.  To reflect the acquisition of all of the outstanding common shares of
         Key and Nova, companies under common control with nearly an identical
         ownership structure, and consolidation of Key and Nova. All
         intercompany accounts have been eliminated. The purchase price consists
         of 9,084,773 shares of the Company's common stock (which represents 50%
         of the outstanding common shares of the Company, after giving effect to
         the consummation of the merger), and warrants for the purchase of
         common stock of the Company equal to 100% of any warrants, options,
         preferred stock or other securities outstanding at the closing date and
         exchangeable for or convertible into the Company's common shares.

         The transaction is recorded as a reverse acquisition. The purchase
         price applied to the reverse acquisition has been based on the net
         book value of the underlying assets of the Company prior to the
         transaction plus $5,000,000.

     D.  To reflect estimated federal and state income tax effects of the
         transactions described above, taking into consideration available net
         operating losses.

MATERIALLY DEPENDING ON A VARIETY OF IMPORTANT FACTORS, INCLUDING UNCERTAINTY
RELATED TO THE COMPANY'S OPERATIONS, MERGERS OR ACQUISITIONS, GOVERNMENTAL
REGULATION, THE VALUE OF THE COMPANY'S ASSETS AND ANY OTHER FACTORS DISCUSSED IN
THIS AND OTHER COMPANY FILINGS WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

(a) Liquidity.
(b) Capital Resources.

On August 6, 2001, the Registrant completed the distribution of all of its
assets and liabilities, net of $5,000,000 in cash utilized to complete the
acquisitions of Nova Financial Systems, Inc. ("Nova") and Key Financial Systems,
Inc. ("Key"), to Equitex 2000 In addition, effective August 6, 2001, the
Registrant completed its acquisitions of Nova and Key. As a result of these
transactions, beginning in August 2001, the historical cash flow information
detailed below as well as discussions of liquidity and capital resources of the
Registrant's current operations will move to Equitex 2000. On a going forward
basis following the acquisitions of Nova and Key, liquidity and capital
resources issues for the Registrant will be related to the operations of Nova
and Key.

At June 30, 2001, the Registrant had a cash position on a consolidated basis of
$177,168. Cash flows used in operating activities in the six months ended June
30, 2001 was $(707,549) versus cash provided by operating activities of
$11,944,388 during the same period of 2000. A significant portion of the change
was the decrease in mortgage loans held for sale of $13,838,929, which was
related to the restructuring and subsequent rescission of the acquisition of
First Bankers Mortgage Services, Inc. ("FBMS") during 2000. The Registrant does
not expect this trend to continue in the future as the Registrant's mortgage
operations primarily utilize the table funding method for loans, thus minimizing
mortgage loans held for sale. Also of note is the repricing of options and
warrants, warrants issued for services, deferred compensation expense for
services and common stock issued for services which aggregated $2,032,500 during
the six months ended June 30, 2001, significantly affecting the net loss for the
period. On a short-term basis, until the acquisitions of Nova and Key are
complete, the Registrant anticipates negative liquidity from operations.
However, the Registrant expects the operations of Key and Nova will positively
affect the long-term liquidity prospects for the Registrant given their
historical operating profitability.

Cash flows provided by investing activities was $44,474 in the six months ended
June 30, 2001 as compared to cash flows used in investing activities of
$(2,401,701) in 2000. In the 2001 period, the Registrant received cash from the
sales of investments and repayment of loans and notes receivable. In the 2000
period, issuances of loans and notes receivable accounted for a majority of cash
used in investing activities. The Registrant expects cash flows from investing
activities in the final half of 2001 will be significantly affected by the
acquisitions of Key and Nova.

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $503,009 in the first six
months of 2001 versus cash used in financing activities of $(10,106,132) in
2000. Repayment of warehouse loans of $(14,906,244)

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
                              FINANCIAL CONDITION

significantly affected the Registrant's financing activities during the 2000
quarter. This is a non-recurring item related to the FBMS mortgage lending
activities and as a result of the rescission. The Registrant issued $658,235 in
notes payable and warehouse loans and other notes payable that were offset by
the repayment of notes payable of $(155,226) during the six month period in
2001.

In order to complete the acquisitions of Key and Nova, which required $5,000,000
in cash, the Registrant commenced two private placements of preferred stock. The
Registrant received net proceeds from the Series H and Series I preferred stock
private placements of approximately $5,560,000. Of this amount, $5,000,000 was
used to complete the Nova and Key acquisitions; the remainder was distributed to
Equitex 2000 providing immediate liquidity. In addition, the conversion of
certain warrants during the third quarter of 2001, prior to the acquisitions of
Nova and Key, provided additional liquidity to Equitex 2000 as cash remaining
from those exercises was distributed per the distribution agreement to Equitex
2000 at August 3, 2001. Sales of equity securities could also continue in the
long-term for Equitex 2000 providing additional liquidity. Certain of the
Registrant's options, warrants and preferred securities that are convertible
into common stock may not be converted during the year 2001, thus carrying-over
for possible conversion in the year 2002 providing additional liquidity for the
Registrant following the acquisitions of Nova and Key.

On August 23, 1999, the Registrant acquired FBMS a mortgage banking company
headquartered in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in exchange for 250 shares of the
Registrant's Series E convertible preferred stock ("Series E Preferred Stock").
In September 1999, the Registrant transferred all outstanding shares of FBMS to
its then wholly owned subsidiary, nMortgage, Inc. On August 15, 2000, the
Registrant reached an agreement to rescind the acquisition of FBMS, effective
June 28, 2000. Under the terms of the agreement, all assets and liabilities of
FBMS were returned to the previous owner effective June 28, 2000. As a result of
the rescission, nMortgage retained certain technological rights which were
developed after August 23, 1999 and funded by the Registrant's investment. These
technological rights are valued at approximately $1.4 million, net of
accumulated depreciation, at June 30, 2001. Also as part of the agreement and
rescission, the Registrant has agreed to issue up to 50 additional shares of its
Series E Preferred Stock related to performance conditions under the terms of
the acquisition that were satisfied prior to the rescission, bringing the total
Series E Preferred Stock outstanding to 300. On June 22, 2001, all 300 shares of
the Series E Preferred Stock automatically converted into 300,000 shares of the
Registrant's common stock. As a result of the rescission, the Registrant
divested itself of the assets, liabilities and operations of FBMS as of June 28,
2000 and the Registrant's investment in FBMS was written-off as of June 28, 2000
resulting in a loss of $3,979,000.

Meridian Services is now handling the mortgage lending activities of nMortgage,
which plans to move forward with its business plan and continue to roll out its
business to consumer and business to business mortgage programs in conjunction
with Meridian Services. Meridian Services is presently relying primarily on
origination and other loan related fees from lenders to whom it brokers mortgage
loans. As nMortgage and Meridian Services continue to develop the business to
business Internet solutions, it is anticipated additional fees will be
recognized from fee-based programs for private labeling third party websites.
This should generate additional loan-related as well as service-related fees.
nMortgage and Meridian Services are currently cash flow positive and the
Registrant anticipates both companies' liquidity and capital resources will be
sufficient to fund their operations during 2001.

Triumph relies primarily on cash flows from operations for its working capital.
In addition, during 2000, Triumph received a cash infusion from the sale of an
investment purchased from an officer of Triumph considerably below market value.
This capital infusion provided additional cash of approximately $270,000 to
operate its business and was considered a contribution of capital. In an effort
to streamline its operations and lower its operating overhead, during 2000 and
in the first quarter of 2001, Triumph closed its two independent retail
operations leaving only its two GNC retail stores. As a result of Triumph's
continuing losses, the Registrant may need to assist Triumph with its liquidity
and capital resources needs during the remainder 2001 to help fund its
operations.

During 2000 as well as in the first quarter of 2001, the Registrant participated
with other third parties in making certain loans to VP Sports to assist both of
its subsidiaries, Victoria Precision and Torpedo Sports, with liquidity needs
during peak manufacturing periods. Certain of the assets of VP Sports'

                                       24

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND

subsidiaries secured these loans. It is anticipated the Registrant may make
further advances to VP Sports and its subsidiaries during the remainder of 2001
as additional peak liquidity and capital resource needs arise.

During 2000, the Registrant ceased funding the operations of its subsidiary
First TeleServices Corp. ("FTC") and the company relied on internal sources of
funds generated through cash flows from certain consulting services for its
liquidity and capital resources. During 2000, FTC embarked on two initiatives to
further its business plan and generate operating funds. Neither initiative was
successful and at December 31, 2000, FTC had very limited operations. FTC has
closed its offices and is presently inactive. Given the present staffing at FTC
and the past lack of success, the Registrant does not anticipate significant
revenues or losses from FTC in 2001.

(c) Results of operations.

The Registrant's historical operations discussed below, which were distributed
to Equitex 2000 on August 6, 2001, are divided into segments consisting of:
financial services, which includes the operations of FBMS (during the year
2000), FTC, nMortgage and Meridian Services; sporting goods/product related,
which includes the operations of Triumph and equity in the gains and losses of
VP Sports; and corporate activities, which includes the Registrant prior to
consolidation. Effective August 6, 2001, the Registrant completed its
acquisitions of Nova and Key. As a result of these transactions, the future
results of operations of the Registrant will be related to the operations of
Nova and Key. The Registrant's current operations will move to Equitex 2000.

REVENUES: Consolidated revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001
were $937,245 and $1,707,836, respectively, as compared to $321,427 and
$1,778,720 for the Registrant and its subsidiaries for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2000. Net revenues by segment were as follows:

Financial Services Segment
--------------------------
Financial services sales increased by $99,830 and $705,960 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2001 compared to the three and six months ended June 30,
2000. The revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 were derived
from the operations of FBMS. The revenues for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2001 were $855,254 and $1,542,329, respectively, for Meridian Services
and $37,036 and $49,776, respectively, for nMortgage.

During March 2001, Meridian Services entered into an agreement with a financial
institution. The financial institution, utilizing its national charter and its
private labeled Meridian-serviced Website, will be able to close loans in all

fifty states. Meridian Services will purchase these closed loans to effectively
operate in all fifty states. The loans Meridian Services will purchase will be
pre-sold by Meridian Services to third party investors.

At year end 2000, FTC closed its office thereby reducing its overhead to
negligible levels and effectively ceasing day to day operations. As a result,
FTC had no revenues through June 30, 2001 as compared to $58,500 in revenues in
the first six months of 2000 which represented a majority of FTC's revenues for
the entire year. The Registrant presently anticipates FTC will generate little
or no operating revenue for the remainder of 2001.

Through June 30, 2001, revenues were slightly higher in 2001 as compared to
2000. The Registrant anticipates revenues from its mortgage operations to
increase in 2001 as Meridian Services continues to offer residential mortgage
loans over the Internet utilizing nMortgage's website GreatRate.com. Additional
revenues will be generated through Meridian Services' agreement with a financial
institution described above. In addition, nMortgage and Meridian will continue
development of the business to business Internet solutions generating further
revenues with a fully interactive customized Website system that connects the
financial institution clients and their customers directly to Meridian Services.
As of June 30, 2001, Meridian Services has signed five agreements under this
program.

Sporting Goods Segment
----------------------
Triumph sales decreased by $78,830 and $125,499 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2001 compared to the same periods in 2000. The decrease is
attributable to the sale and closing of two of the Registrant's retail locations
in the year 2000 and the closing of one location in the first quarter of 2001.
For the remainder of 2001, the Company plans to operate its two GNC franchised
stores, which accounted for sales of $185,768 in 2000. Additionally, as a result
of losses incurred in both 1999 and 2000, Triumph replaced its senior management
in charge of store operations and instituted tighter inventory and sales audit
controls while installing point-of-sale computer systems to aid in inventory
tracking. These initiatives will allow Triumph to concentrate its efforts on the
two remaining GNC franchised stores and a return to profitability.

$136,321 in 2000. The decreases of $35,085 and $62,937 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2001 were caused by the Registrant operating only two of
its retail operations in 2001 as compared to four locations in 2000.

LOAN PRODUCTION AND PROCESSING: The Registrant had no loan production and
processing costs for 2001 as a result of the FBMS rescission as of June 28, 2000

Financial Services Segment
--------------------------
Financial services selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by
$1,455,696 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 2000. The decrease
included the effect of the rescission of FBMS which when combined with nMortgage
accounted for $3,004,525 of the total in 2000. In the first six months of 2001,
nMortgage had $585,590 in selling, general and administrative expenses compared
to $72,163 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The increase was
substantially due to amortization of $350,166 and consulting fees of $124,000.
Meridian Services had selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,462,600
for the six months ended June 30, 2001.

FTC recorded $7,823 and $128,058 in selling, general and administrative expenses
during the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. This decrease
of $120,235 is the result of FTC's limited operations during 2001 as compared to
2000. This trend should continue during the remainder of 2001.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, the financial services segment's
selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $65,630 to $1,107,671.

period for 2000 as Meridian Services was acquired in September 2000. nMortgage
selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $268,050 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 compared to June 30, 2000. The increase was

Triumph's selling, general and administrative expenses were $147,648 and
$213,175 for the first six months of 2001 and 2000, respectively. The decrease

repricing of certain options and warrants as well as the issuance of warrants
and common stock to consultants. Without the effect of this expense, which
totaled approximately $1,913,000, selling, general and administrative expenses
increased approximately $611,000 in 2001 as compared to 2000 due to increased
amortization expense and significantly increased legal and accounting expense

OTHER ISSUES

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES. This statement, as
amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000. Currently, the Company does not have derivative financial instruments and
does not participate in hedging activities. Therefore, management believes that
SFAS No. 133 will not have an impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

In December 1999, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, REVENUE RECOGNITION IN FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS. SAB No. 101, as amended by SAB No. 101A and SAB No. 101B, effective
no later than the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1999. SAB No. 101 provides the Staff's views in applying generally accepted
accounting principles to selected revenue recognition issues. The Company
believes that it complies with the accounting and disclosure described in SAB
No. 101; therefore, management believes that SAB No. 101 will not impact the
Company's financial statements.
