              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               September 30, 2002
                                   (Unaudited)
Note  1.         General

            The  accompanying   unaudited   condensed   consolidated   financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting
principles for interim  financial  information  and with the instruction to Form
10-QSB and Item 310 of Regulation S-B.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of
the  information  and  footnotes  required  by  generally  accepted   accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,  the
accompanying  unaudited  interim  financial  statements  contain all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring  accruals) necessary to make such financial
statements not misleading.  Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2002
are not  necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected  either for
any other  quarter in the year ending  December  31, 2002 or for the entire year
ending  December 31, 2002. For further  information,  refer to the  consolidated
financial  statements  and footnotes  thereto  included in the Company's  Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Note  2.         Operations

            Gateway  Industries,   Inc.  (the  "Company")  was  incorporated  in
Delaware  in July 1994.  It  acquired  all of the  outstanding  common  stock of
Oaktree Systems,  Inc.  ("Oaktree") in March 2000.  Oaktree  provides  real-time
database  development  consolidation and management  services,  such as database
marketing,  Product fulfillment,  subscription fulfillment,  web site design and
maintenance  to  customers.   Such  customers  are  principally   not-for-profit
entities, health care providers and publishers throughout the United States.

            The Company had no full time  employees from December 1996 until the
acquisition of Oaktree in March 2000. The Company's  officers and Steel Partners
Services,  Ltd.  (an  entity  controlled  by  the  Company's  Chairman)  devoted
significant  time to the  Company's  administration  and in exploring  potential
acquisitions and other business opportunities.

Note  3.         Net Income (Loss) Per Share

            Net  Income  (loss)  per share  was  calculated  using the  weighted
average number of common shares outstanding. For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2002 and 2001,  stock options  excluded  from the  calculation  of
diluted loss per share were 592,500 and 492,500,  respectively,  as their effect
would have been antidilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted income per share is
the same for each of the three and nine  months  ended  September  30,  2002 and
2001.

Note  4.         Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

            Effective   January  1,  2002,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets.  Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are
no longer  amortized  but will be reviewed  at least  annually  for  impairment.
Separable  intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite life will
continue to be amortized  over their useful  lives.  The Company  completed  the
first of the required impairment tests of goodwill during the three months ended
March 31, 2002 and no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill was required.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2002

            If the Company continued amortizing  goodwill,  the net income would
have decreased by $52,000 or $.01 per share for the three months ended September
30, 2002.  The Company  recorded  amortization  of goodwill for the three months
ended September 30, 2001 of $52,000.  If this standard was adopted as of January
1, 2001 the  pro-forma  net loss for the three months ended  September  30, 2001
would have been $127,364 or $.03 per share.

                                       6





Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002

            If the Company continued amortizing  goodwill,  the net income would
have decreased by $156,000 or $.04 per share for the nine months ended September
30,  2002.  The Company  recorded  amortization  of goodwill for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001 of $156,000. If this standard was adopted as of January
1, 2001 the  pro-forma  net loss for the nine months  ended  September  30, 2001
would have been $365,245 or $.09 per share.

            There  has been no  change to the  carrying  value of the  Company's
goodwill  since January 1, 2002.  The  Company's  intangible  assets  subject to
amortization  primarily consists of software of approximately  $183,000,  net of
accumulated  amortization  of $180,000 at September  30, 2002 and is included in
other assets. Amortization expense was $53,190 for each of the nine months ended
September  30,  2002 and  2001.  There  were no  other  intangible  assets  with
indefinite useful lives.

            In January 2002,  the Company  adopted SFAS No. 144,  Accounting for
the  Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets ("SFAS 144").  This  supercedes
SFAS No. 121,  Accounting for the  Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for Long
Lived Assets to be Disposed of, while retaining many of the requirements of such
statement.  There was no  significant  impact on the financial  statements  upon
adoption.

Note  5.         Recent Accounting Pronouncements

            In April 2002,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board ("FASB")
adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  145  Rescission  of FASB
Statements No. 4, 44, and 64,  Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections  ("SFAS  145").  This  Statement  rescinds  FASB  Statement  No.  4,
Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, and an amendment of that
Statement,  FASB  Statement  No.  64,  Extinguishments  of Debt Made to  Satisfy
Sinking-Fund  Requirements.  This Statement also rescinds FASB Statement No. 44,
Accounting for Intangible  Assets of Motor Carriers.  This Statement amends FASB
Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases,  to eliminate an inconsistency  between
the  required  accounting  for  sale-leaseback  transactions  and  the  required
accounting for certain lease  modifications  that have economic effects that are
similar  to  sale-leaseback  transactions.  This  Statement  also  amends  other
existing  authoritative  pronouncements to make various  technical  corrections,
clarify  meanings,  or describe their  applicability  under changed  conditions.
Statement  No. 145 is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after May 15, 2002.
The Company  believes that this statement will not have a significant  impact on
its results of operations or financial position upon adoption.

            In July 2002,  The Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")
Issued  Statement  146  Accounting  for Costs  Associated  with Exit or Disposal
Activities  ("SFAS 146").  This  Statement  addresses  financial  accounting and
reporting for costs  associated  with exit or disposal  activities and nullifies
Emerging  Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3,  "Liability  Recognition  for
Certain  Employee  Termination  Benefits  and  Other  Costs to Exit an  Activity
(including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The principal difference
between  this  Statement  and  Issue  94-3  relates  to  its   requirements  for
recognition  of a  liability  for a cost  associated  with an  exit or  disposal
activity. This Statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an
exit or disposal  activity be recognized  when the liability is incurred.  Under
Issue 94-3, a liability for an exit cost as defined in Issue 94-3 was recognized
at the date of an entity's  commitment to an exit plan.  The  provisions of this
Statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after
December 31, 2002.  The Company  believes that this new standard will not have a
material effect on its results of operations or financial condition.

Note  6.         Reclassification

            Certain  amounts  from the  prior  year have  been  reclassified  to
conform to the current year presentation.

Note  7.         Repurchase of Common Stock

            The Company  approved on September 30, 2002 the repurchase of 10% of
the outstanding shares, or approximately 420,000 shares, of the Company's common
stock.  Repurchases may be made in open market or in negotiated transactions.

ITEM  2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
            ------------------------------------
Introduction
- ------------

            The Company  acquired  Oaktree on March 21, 2000 pursuant to a Stock
Purchase  Agreement.  The  purchase  price of  Oaktree  was  approximately  $4.1
million,  consisting of $2 million in cash,  the issuance of 600,000  restricted
shares  of Common  Stock of the  Company  and the  assumption  of  approximately
$650,000 of debt,  which was repaid at the closing  date,  plus certain fees and
expenses.

            Oaktree is a twenty year-old company  specializing in providing cost
effective marketing solutions to organizations needing sophisticated information
management  tools.  In the past,  these systems were found  principally  only on
mainframe and  minicomputer  systems.  Oaktree has developed a sophisticated  PC
based relational  database that provides  unlimited  capacity and flexibility to
meet today's  demanding  informational  needs.  Oaktree has also  implemented  a
state-of-the-art Data Center that incorporates the latest Client/Server based PC
architecture.  Oaktree currently manages direct marketing  databases for clients
which  contain  over 25 million  customers  that  include a related  100 million
transactions.

            Oaktree  provides a full set of database  marketing  solutions  that
cover the full range of customer interaction. These entirely Web based solutions
allow our  customers to manage their  marketing  promotions  and the  supporting
operational systems from their desktops in a real-time mode. The Internet is the
preferred  medium for  providing  information  and reports to our  clients.  All
reports,  data  access  and the  status  of  production  jobs are  available  to
customers 24 hours a day,  seven days a week simply by accessing  their  desktop
browsers. With Oaktree providing a single source solution, all data will reflect
a real-time  status,  meaning  that reports  will  reflect  information  that is
accurate and up-to-date.  Multiple  levels of security  provide a high degree of
data integrity and protection.

            Oaktree's  proprietary,  integrated  database  allows  clients  with
e-commerce,  subscription,  product  fulfillment and  fundraising  businesses to
utilize  a  single,  customer  focused  database  to do all of  their  marketing
promotions and response  analysis.  Clients can track their businesses on a real
time basis and make immediate  decisions to adjust marketing  promotions  and/or
production  schedules.  We believe  Oaktree's new Internet  initiatives  and the
release of its  database  product  DB-Cultivator  will allow us to offer  better
expansion   of   services   to   existing    customers   and   should   generate
quarter-to-quarter growth.

REVENUES AND EXPENSES

Three Months ended  September 30, 2002 compared to three months ended  September
30, 2001.

            The Company had  revenues of  $1,418,896  for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 compared to $1,146,449 for the  comparable  period in 2001, a
24% increase.  This increase was due primarily to customers  expanding their use
of  Oaktree's  services,  including  new services  such as Product  fulfillment,
Lockbox and Call center operations. Approximately $315,000 of revenue is derived
from these new services. Oaktree introduced these services in 2001.

            Fulfillment  and materials  costs were $127,649 for the three months
ended September 30, 2002 compared to $50,467 for the comparable  period in 2001,
a 153%  increase.  This  increase was due primarily to the cost of operations of
Oaktree's new Product fulfillment  facility,  Lockbox and Call center operation,
which was developed in 2001.

            Personnel  costs were $870,910 for the three months ended  September
30,  2002  compared  to  $740,723  for the  comparable  period  in 2001,  an 18%
increase.  This  increase was due  primarily to the  development  of an internal
finance and accounting  department and personnel  cost  associated  with the new
products offered by Oaktree, which increased staff salaries.

            Selling, general & administrative expenses were $330,648 for the
three months ended  September 30, 2002  compared to $552,690 for the  comparable
period  in 2001,  a 40%  decrease.  This was due  primarily  to cost  reductions
achieved by implementing  improvements to internal policies and procedures which
reduced unnecessary spending.

            Other income &  expenses  were $7,274 and $3,691,  respectively,
for the three months ended  September  30, 2002  compared to $21,019 and $2,952,
respectively,  for the  comparable  period in 2001,  an 80% net  decrease.  This
decrease was primarily due to decreasing  money market rates earned on cash held
by the Company.

            The Company had net  profits of $93,272 for the three  months  ended
September 30, 2002 compared to a net loss of $179,364 for the comparable  period
in 2001, a 152% increase. This increase was primarily due to increased sales and
internal restructuring of processes and procedures.

Nine Months ended September 30, 2002 compared to nine months ended September 30,
2001.

            The Company had  revenues of  $4,242,514  for the nine months  ended
September 30, 2002 compared to $3,156,953 for the  comparable  period in 2001, a
34% increase.  This increase was due primarily to customers  expanding their use
of  Oaktree's  services,  including  new services  such as Product  fulfillment,
Lockbox  and Call  center  operations.  Approximately  $1,042,000  of revenue is
derived from these new services. Oaktree introduced these services in 2001.

            Fulfillment  and  materials  costs were $436,561 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002 compared to $111,173 for the comparable period in 2001,
a 293%  increase.  This  increase was due primarily to the cost of operations of
Oaktree's new Product fulfillment  facility,  Lockbox and Call center operation,
which was developed in 2001.

            Personnel  costs were $2,615,547 for the nine months ended September
30,  2002  compared  to  $2,242,929  for the  comparable  period in 2001,  a 17%
increase.  This  increase was due  primarily to the  development  of an internal
finance and accounting  department and personnel  cost  associated  with the new
products offered by Oaktree, which increased staff salaries.

            Selling,  general &  administrative expenses were $1,086,363 for
the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2002  compared  to  $1,402,833  for the
comparable

                                       9





period  in 2001,  a 23%  decrease.  This was due  primarily  to cost  reductions
achieved by implementing  improvements to internal policies and procedures which
reduced unnecessary spending.

            Other  income and expenses  were $22,446 and $10,919,  respectively,
for the nine months  ended  September  30,  2002  compared to $82,394 and 3,657,
respectively,  for the  comparable  period in 2001,  an 85% net  decrease.  This
decrease was primarily due to decreasing  money market rates earned on cash held
by the Company.

            The Company had net  profits of $115,570  for the nine months  ended
September 30, 2002 compared to a net loss of $521,245 for the comparable  period
in 2001, a 122% increase. This increase was primarily due to increased sales and
internal restructuring of processes and procedures.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

            The  Company's  cash  and cash  equivalents  totaled  $1,791,724  at
September 30, 2002 and  $2,041,315 at December 31, 2001.  Subsequent to December
31, 2001,  the Company's  cash and cash  equivalents  decreased in the first and
second quarters of 2002 due to normal operating expenses and such decreases have
been  partially  offset in the third quarter.  The Company  continues to seek an
acquisition or other business  combination;  although no definitive  agreements,
arrangements or understandings  have been reached.  Management believes its cash
position is sufficient to cover administrative  expenses and current obligations
for the foreseeable future.

            The Company  approved on September 30, 2002 the repurchase of 10% of
the outstanding shares, or approximately 420,000 shares, of the Company's common
stock.  Repurchases may be made in open market or in negotiated transactions.

Critical Accounting Policies

Adoption Of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

             Effective  January  1,  2002,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets.  Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are
no longer  amortized  but will be reviewed  at least  annually  for  impairment.
Separable  intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite life will
continue to be amortized  over their useful  lives.  The Company  completed  the
first of the required impairment tests of goodwill during the three months ended
March 31, 2002 and no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill was required.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2002

            If the Company continued amortizing  goodwill,  the net income would
have decreased by $52,000 or $.01 per share for the three months ended September
30, 2002.  The Company  recorded  amortization  of goodwill for the three months
ended September 30, 2001 of $52,000.  If this standard was adopted as of January
1, 2001 the  pro-forma  net loss for the three months ended  September  30, 2001
would have been $127,364 or $.03 per share.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002

            If the Company continued amortizing  goodwill,  the net income would
have decreased by $156,000 or $.04 per share for the nine months ended September
30,  2002.  The Company  recorded  amortization  of goodwill for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001 of $156,000. If this standard was adopted as of January
1, 2001 the  pro-forma  net loss for the nine months  ended  September  30, 2001
would have been $365,245 or $0.09 per share.

            There  has been no  change to the  carrying  value of the  Company's
goodwill  since January 1, 2002.  The  Company's  intangible  assets  subject to
amortization  primarily  consists of software of  approximately  $183,000 net of
accumulated  amortization  of $180,000 at September  30, 2002 and is included in
other assets. Amortization expense was $53,190 for each of the nine months ended
September  30,  2002 and  2001.  There  were no  other  intangible  assets  with
indefinite useful lives.

                                       10





            In January 2002,  the Company  adopted SFAS No. 144,  Accounting for
the  Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets ("SFAS 144").  This  supercedes
SFAS No. 121,  Accounting for the  Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for Long
Lived Assets to be Disposed of, while retaining many of the requirements of such
statement.  There was no  significant  impact on the financial  statements  upon
adoption.

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

            In April 2002,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board ("FASB")
adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  145  Rescission  of FASB
Statements No. 4, 44, and 64,  Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections  ("SFAS  145").  This  Statement  rescinds  FASB  Statement  No.  4,
Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, and an amendment of that
Statement,  FASB  Statement  No.  64,  Extinguishments  of Debt Made to  Satisfy
Sinking-Fund  Requirements.  This Statement also rescinds FASB Statement No. 44,
Accounting for Intangible  Assets of Motor Carriers.  This Statement amends FASB
Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases,  to eliminate an inconsistency  between
the  required  accounting  for  sale-leaseback  transactions  and  the  required
accounting for certain lease  modifications  that have economic effects that are
similar  to  sale-leaseback  transactions.  This  Statement  also  amends  other
existing  authoritative  pronouncements to make various  technical  corrections,
clarify  meanings,  or describe their  applicability  under changed  conditions.
Statement  No. 145 is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after May 15, 2002.
The Company  believes that this statement will not have a significant  impact on
its results of operations or financial position upon adoption.

            In July 2002,  The Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")
Issued  Statement  146  Accounting  for Costs  Associated  with Exit or Disposal
Activities  ("SFAS 146").  This  Statement  addresses  financial  accounting and
reporting for costs  associated  with exit or disposal  activities and nullifies
Emerging  Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3,  "Liability  Recognition  for
Certain  Employee  Termination  Benefits  and  Other  Costs to Exit an  Activity
(including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The principal difference
between  this  Statement  and  Issue  94-3  relates  to  its   requirements  for
recognition  of a  liability  for a cost  associated  with an  exit or  disposal
activity. This Statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an
exit or disposal  activity be recognized  when the liability is incurred.  Under
Issue 94-3, a liability for an exit cost as defined in Issue 94-3 was recognized
at the date of an entity's  commitment to an exit plan.  The  provisions of this
Statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after
December 31, 2002.  The Company  believes that this new standard will not have a
material effect on its results of operations or financial condition.

Item 3.          Controls and Procedures
                 -----------------------

            (a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

            Within the 90 days  prior to the date of this  report,  the  Company
carried out an evaluation,  under the supervision and with the  participation of
the Company's  management,  including the Company's Chief Executive  Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's  disclosure controls and procedures.  Based upon that evaluation,  the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's
disclosure  controls and  procedures  are  effective in timely  alerting them to
material  information  relating  to  the  Company  (including  its  consolidated
subsidiary) required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings.

            (b) Changes in internal controls

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

            (c) Asset-Backed issuers

            Not applicable.
