                           WINMAX TRADING GROUP, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 2002
                                   (UNAUDITED)


(1)   Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(GAAP) for interim financial information and Item 310(b) of Regulation SB. They
do not include all of the information and footnotes for complete financial
statements as required by GAAP. In management's opinion, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the periods
presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year. For further information, refer to the Company's financial statements
as of December 31, 2001 and for the two years then ended, including notes
thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB.

(2)   Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates net income (loss) per share as required by SFAS 128,
"Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing
net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing net
income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive
common stock equivalents outstanding. During periods when they are
anti-dilutive, common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered in the
computation.

(3)   Stockholders' Equity

During March 2001 the Company effected a reverse stock split in a ratio of 1 to
25 and during March 2002 the Company effected a reverse stock split in a ratio
of 1 to 20. All share and per share amounts have been adjusted to give effect to
these splits.

During the period ended June 30, 2002 the Company issued 1,960,763 shares of its
common stock valued at $3,918,850. The shares were issued for services rendered
and were valued at the fair market value of the common stock on the dates it was
agreed that the shares were to be issued.

In addition, during the period ended June 30, 2002, the Company recorded
$455,600 of non cash stock compensation related to the amortization of deferred
compensation.

(4)   Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, determined by specific  identification
or market and consists principally of gem stones.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 2002
                                   (UNAUDITED)

(5)   Other-Various Lawsuits and Claims

During July 1999 the Company entered into a lease agreement for office
facilities for a five-year term commencing during December 1999. The lease
provided for an initial base rent of approximately $4,020 per month plus the
Company's proportionate share of operating expenses. In addition, the lease
provided for annual adjustments to the base rent. During December 1999 the
Company elected not to honor the terms of the new lease and the lessor retained
a $5,000 deposit as liquidated damages and the Company charged the $5,000 to
rent expense during 1999.

During 2001 the lessor filed suit against the Company and a former officer "ELO
Associates II Ltd. V. Winmax Trading Group, Inc. et al" (Case No.
CA-CE-02-004868(14))(17th Judicial District, Broward County Florida). A motion
for default judgment was filed seeking damages of $222,324. During August 2002 a
final judgment was entered into in favor of the plaintiff in the approximate
amount of $313,000.

(6)   Related Party Transactions

During the period ended June 30, 2002 affiliates of the Company provided working
capital aggregating $205,444 by direct payment of certain obligations of the
Company aggregating 131,844 and cash advances aggregating $73,600.

(7)   Reclassifications

Certain amounts included in the previous periods' financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

(8)   Basis of Presentation

The Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the
normal course of business.

The Company has experienced significant losses from operations. For the period
ended June 30, 2002 the Company incurred net losses of $4,845,684. In addition,
the Company has an accumulated deficit of $9,355,044 and a working capital
deficit of $414,372 at June 30, 2002. Approximately 80% of the Company's revenue
for the period ended June 30, 2002 was generated from the sale of web sites to
an affiliate/consultant who contracted with the Company to design the sites for
his third party clients.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its
ability to expand its service operations, generate revenues from the sales of
gemstones and secure additional financing. The Company is pursuing financing for
its operations and seeking to expand its operations. Failure to secure such
financing or expand its operations may result in the Company not being able to
continue as a going concern.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments 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 possible inability of
the Company to continue as a going concern.

(9)   Correction of an Error

The accompanying financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the accrual
of the final judgment discussed in Note 5 in the amount of $313,000 at June 30,
2002. The effect of this adjustment was to increase the net loss by $313,000 or
$.17 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and
related notes thereto. The following discussion contains forward-looking
statements. Winmax Trading Group, Inc. is referred to herein as "the Company",
"we" or "our." The words or phrases "would be," "will allow," "intends to,"
"will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated,"
"estimate," "project," or similar expressions are intended to identify
"forward-looking statements". Such statements include those concerning our
expected financial performance, our corporate strategy and operational plans.
Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the
forward-looking statements as a result of a number of risks and uncertainties.
Statements made herein are as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-QSB with
the Securities and Exchange Commission and should not be relied upon as of any
subsequent date. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, we do not
undertake, and we specifically disclaim any obligation, to update any
forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences, developments, unanticipated
events or circumstances after the date of such statement.

A. Overview of Operations.

We remain dependent upon our ability to expand our web development and Internet
services and secure additional financing. We will attempt to generate revenues
from the sales of gemstones. Most of our revenues for the six months ended June
30, 2002 were primarily generated from sales to an affiliate/consultant, Anthony
Sklar, who is our president's son. The affiliate/consultant directly contracted
with third party clients to construct websites for those clients and then
contracted with us to assist in the design and construction of the websites. At
June 30, 2002, approximately $168,000 was sold to this affiliate.

As described in more detail in our Form 10-KSB for the period ended December 31,
2001, we adopted a new corporate strategy and business of engaging in the web
development and Internet business, and in the production, processing, and
Internet marketing of precious and semi-precious gemstone and jewelry.

For the three months ended June 30, 2002, we incurred net losses of $849,939. We
expect to continue to generate losses from our operations until we are able to
substantially increase our revenues. There is no assurance that we can increase
our revenue sources and it is unlikely that we can lower our expenses in our
present mode of operations.

As of June 30, 2002, we had $36,180 of accounts receivable. We have required and
continue to require substantial capital to fund our business operations. Our
future capital requirements, revenues and operating results will depend upon
many factors, and will be subject to numerous risks and uncertainties.

Our quarterly revenues are unpredictable and we expect them to continue to
fluctuate in the future. In view of such fluctuations, we believe that quarterly
comparisons of our financial results are not necessarily meaningful and should
not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.

B. Results of Operations.

During the three month period ended June 30, 2002, we derived 80% of our
revenues from sales to an affiliate that provided web development services. Our
quarterly revenues are unpredictable and we expect them to continue to fluctuate
in the future. In view of such fluctuations in our quarterly revenue, we believe
that quarterly comparisons of our financial results are not necessarily
meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.

Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2002
are $409,938. As indicated above, because we did not adopt a new corporate
strategy and business until June 2001, no meaningful comparison can be made
between our general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended
June 30, 2002 and the same period during 2001.

C. Liquidity and Capital Resources.

At June 30, 2002, we had no cash upon which to conduct our operations. As
indicated above, because we did not adopt a new corporate strategy and business
until June 2001, there is no means of comparing our liquidity and capital
resources to a comparable period during 2001.

We have experienced significant losses from our operations. For the period ended
June 30, 2002, we incurred net losses of $4,845,684. In addition, we had an
accumulated deficit of $9,355,044 at June 30, 2002. Our ability to continue as
a going concern is contingent upon our ability to expand our service operations,
generate revenues from the sales of gemstones and secure additional financing.
Our failure to secure such financing or expand our operations may result in our
not being able to continue as a going concern.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures within the 90 days preceding the
filing date of this amended quarterly report. Based upon this evaluation, the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that material
information required to be disclosed is included in the reports that it files
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or, to the
knowledge of the management of the Company, in other factors that could
significantly affect these controls subsequent to the evaluation date.




                            PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are presently engaged in the following legal action as indicated below.

Name of Case. ELO Associates II. Ltd. v. Winmax Trading Group, Inc. et.al. (Case
No. CA-CE-02-004868(14)) (17th Judicial District, Broward County, Florida).
During July 1999 the Company entered into a lease agreement for office
facilities for a five-year term commencing during December 1999. The lease
provided for an initial base rent of approximately $4,020 per month plus the
Company's proportionate share of operating expenses. In addition, the lease
provided for annual adjustments to the base rent. During December 1999 the
Company elected not to honor the terms of the new lease and the lessor retained
a $5,000 deposit as liquidated damages and the Company charged the $5,000 to
rent expense during 1999. During 2001 the lessor filed suit against the Company
and a former officer "ELO Associates II Ltd. V. Winmax Trading Group, Inc. et
al" (Case No. CA-CE-02-004868(14))(17th Judicial District, Broward County
Florida). A motion for default judgment was filed seeking damages of $222,324.
Subsequent to this reporting period ended June 30, 2002, during August 2002 a
final judgment was entered in favor of the plaintiff in the amount of $313,000.
We have no insurance coverage for the damages that were awarded against us and
we do not have available funds to pay the judgment against us. We do not have
sufficient revenues to pay the judgment against us and any attorneys fees or
sanctions awarded against us. As such, the judgment will have a material adverse
affect on our operations and financial condition.

To the best of our belief, there are no other outstanding lawsuits or actions,
active or pending, in which we are involved.
