Item 1. Change in Control of Registrant
eNote.com Inc. (the "Company") and John R. Varsames ("Varsames"), a former
President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company, entered into a
transaction on September 26, 2000 (the "Transaction") that has resulted in a
change in control of the Company. Varsames transferred 6,680,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock to the Company in exchange for (i) all of the assets of
the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary WebATM, Inc. and (ii) subject to the
rights of James D. Richards and Martine Richards, the Company's 55% equity
interest in SolutioNet.com, Inc.
As a result of the Transaction the Company's issued and outstanding Common
Stock was reduced from 11,289,481 shares to 4,589,501 shares. This reduction in
outstanding shares had a pro-rata increase in the percentage of voting control
exercised by the remaining stockholders of the Company. Burton G. Friedlander, a
significant stockholder of the Company, had his percentage of voting control
increased from approximately 34% to 57% as a result of the Transaction. Mr.
Friedlander has voting and investment control over all 5,000,000 shares of the
Company's Convertible Preferred Stock, which is held by Friedlander
International Limited and Friedlander Limited Partnership through their
investment manager, Friedlander Capital Management Corp. of which Mr.
Friedlander is the sole stockholder. Furthermore, Mr. Friedlander exercises
voting and investment control over 461,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
In addition, Mr. Friedlander controls (a) immediately exercisable warrants to
acquire 2,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of
$1.00 per share, (b) warrants to acquire 2,000,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, and (c) an 8% Convertible
Note in the principal amount of $250,000 which is convertible into the Company's
Common Stock at the ratio of one share for every $2.50 of converted principal
and interest; all of which if exercised and converted, as applicable, would
increase Mr. Friedlander's voting control to an aggregate percentage amount
equal to approximately 70%. All the figures in this report relating to Mr.
Friedlander's ownership interest, except for the warrants to acquire 2,000,000
shares of Common Stock at $2.50 per share and the $250,000 Convertible Note, are
based on a Statement on Schedule 13D filed by Mr. Friedlander and Friedlander
Capital Management Corp. with the Commission on July 15, 1999 and a Form 4
amended as of March 9, 2000 provided by Mr. Friedlander and Friedlander Capital
Management Corp., and the Company assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of
such information.
Prior to the Transaction, Mr. Varsames was the Company's largest single
shareholder, having voting control over 43.59% of the Company's capital stock.

Item 2. Disposition of Assets
As part of the Transaction, the Company's subsidiary WebATM, Inc.
transferred all its assets and, subject to the rights of James D. Richards and
Martine Richards, the Company transferred all its equity interests in
SolutioNet.com Ltd (collectively the "Transferred Assets") to John R. Varsames,
a former President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company. The
consideration received by the Company in exchange for the Transferred Assets
consisted of 6,680,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The net book value
of the Transferred Assets was approximately $198,779 or 5.83% of the Company's
total assets.
