    This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D, and the cover page thereto, filed on April 10, 2000 (the "Schedule 13D") by Gateway Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Gateway"), with respect to its beneficial ownership of common stock, $0.001 par value (the "Common Stock"), of quepasa.com, inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Issuer"). This Amendment No. 1 is made to report the sale of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

    On November 30, 2001, Gateway sold all of its 1,428,571 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock in a private transaction at $0.15 per share, and ceased to be a beneficial holder of 5% or more of the Issuer's Common Stock. Gateway then held none of the Issuer's 17,763,291 outstanding shares of Common Stock (based upon the outstanding shares of Common Stock set forth in the Issuer's Form 10-K on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 20, 2001), and possessed no right to acquire any additional shares of the Issuer's Common Stock. Gateway also had no power to vote, direct the vote of, dispose of, or direct the disposition of, any shares of the Issuer's Common Stock as of November 30, 2001. No other person had the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Common Stock.

    No other person disclosed in response to Item 2 in the Schedule 13D beneficially owns any shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, and other than as described above, in the last sixty days, none of Gateway nor any other person disclosed in response to Item 2 in the Schedule 13D has been a party to any transaction in the Common Stock.
