ENVIRONMENTAL PLUS, INCORPORATED FORM 10-KSB ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 1996 PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS Environmental Plus, Inc. (the "Company"), is in the business of construction and repair of industrial cooling towers, primarily in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas, for electric utility companies; and the marketing of a fire retardant foam as a fire fighting device for industrial use. These activities are the result of two significant acquisitions during 1996. Prior to the acquisition of substantially all of the shares of the Company by Environmental Plus, Incorporated during the fiscal year 1996, the Company operated as Kinlaw Energy Partners Corporation ("KEPC"), a Texas corporation, which was formed in December 1983. Prior to August 31, 1987, the Company's operation consisted primarily of investments in oil and gas partnerships and joint ventures and the acquiring of interests in producing oil and gas properties located in the continental United States. During the year ended August 31, 1987, substantially all of KEPC's assets, including its oil and gas properties, were assigned to certain shareholders and creditors in satisfaction of that indebtedness. During the year ended August 31, 1992, the Company began providing management services to Kinlaw Oil Corporation ("KOC"). All funding requirements of the Company had been made through advances from either the majority shareholder of the Company or KOC. On or about June or July 1995, KOC ceased operations; thereby eliminating the Company's sole source of revenue. As a result, the Company terminated the employment of its employees. In November 1995, the Company's majority shareholder sold its shares comprising 90.01% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company to Environmental Plus Incorporated, which subsequently changed its name to GD-JD, Inc. Effective March 12, 1996, Messrs. George Davis and J.D. Davenport, the new majority shareholders of the Company were elected as Directors of the Company to fill existing vacancies. In April 1996, Mr. James Harris, the only remaining KEPC Director resigned. On May 23, 1996, the Board of Directors elected J.D. Davenport as President of the Company, George Davis as Chairman of the Board of Directors, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company and Charles I. White as Vice President as well as a Director of the Company. The Directors were also authorized to interview certified public accounting firms to perform all required auditing, tax and audit work for the 1996 fiscal year. Additionally, on May 23, 1996, the Directors voted to form a subsidiary of the Company under the name of Gulf Coast Towers, Inc. On June 1, 1996, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of FireZap, Inc. ("FZI"), a Texas corporation. The consideration for the stock of FZI included 450,000 shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ($1.00 par value). The purchase agreement between the Company and FZI also provides for certain contingent payments of an additional 450,000 shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ($1.00 par value) if FZI has net revenues for the 12 months ending June 1, 1997 of $900,000.00 or greater. The acquisition resulted in FZI becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible on a share for share basis into common stock. FZI is in the business of marketing a fire retarding foam as a fire fighting device for industrial use. FZI, a Texas corporation, was incorporated in January 1996. It was founded for the purpose of marketing products produced by Fire Response Systems International, Inc. of Houston, Texas. These products are known as Aqueous Film Forming Foam ("AFFF") and are used by fire fighters in cities, forests, agriculture, aviation, maritime and other fire fighting application. Three basic products are offered to FZI's customers, two of which are sold under the name of Fire Away and Fire Choke and are designed to quench or choke the fire by cutting off the oxygen. The Fire Quench product market by the Company is produced by the Texas Department of Corrections and may only be sold to tax supported entities. Like the other two products, it is biodegradable and noncorrosive. FZI has the exclusive right to market these products in the United States. FZI currently has three major competitors in the market. However, FZI believes that it has a price advantage as well as current approval on environmental impact. FZI also believes that its products meet the current guidelines of the Department of Defense, the Environmental Protection Agency and the General Service Administration. Factory capacity is more than adequate to supply all the product needed. Each of the producers are able to expand on very short notice. All prices on the products are F.O.B., but FZI has favorable rates with various freight lines. Additionally, significant inventory can be achieved at no cost on Fire Quench since the Texas Department of Corrections will ship the product on consignment, with billing occurring when the products are used. Effective July, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Gulf Coast Cooling Tower Services, Inc. ("GCCTS") from the Company's Director and Secretary, George Davis. The value of the assets acquired by the Company from GCCTS was $599,000 for which the Company paid 599,000 shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. ($1.00 par value) The acquisition resulted in the continuation of the business underlying the assets (through the Company's subsidiary Gulf Coast Towers, Inc.), which is construction repair of industrial cooling towers primarily in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas for electric utility companies and related consulting services. Gulf Coast Towers, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("GCT"), which operates the business of GCCTS and is located in Overton, Texas. It is in the business of constructing and repairing industrial cooling towers primarily in Texas and Arkansas. Its customers are generally in utility, petro chemical and oil refining industries. The Company has six (6) full time employees. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The principal office of the Company is in Overton, Texas. FZI currently has established a temporary office at 3445 Highland Road in Dallas, Texas and is currently being provided warehouse space at no cost. The Company obtained property at 701 Industrial Blvd in Borger, Texas which consists of 3.98 acres with a warehouse and three (3) offices, and a warehouse and offices at 2227 Lake Road in La Marque, Texas when it purchased the assets of GCCTS. The current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet the Company's needs. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is not involved in any material legal proceedings. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS On May 23, 1996, at a duly convened special meeting of the Shareholders of the Company, the shareholders voted to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation to 1) change the name of the Company, and 2) to authorize the issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value to be issued at such times and in such amounts and containing such rights, preferences and designations as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time. Additionally, at the special meeting of Shareholders held on May 23, 1996, the Shareholders elected Mr. J.D. Davenport, Mr. George Davis and Mr. Charles I. White to serve as directors of the Company. With respect to the Shareholders vote regarding the change of the name of the Company to Environmental Plus, Inc. of the 37,775,108 shares entitled to vote at the meeting, 34,569,246 shares voted for the proposal, 0 shares voted against, and 3,205,862 were withheld. With respect to the proposal to authorize the issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares, of the 37,775,108 shares entitled to vote at the meeting, 34,569,246 shares voted for the proposal, 0 against, and 3,205,862 were withheld. For each of the Directors nominated and elected at the meeting, of the 37,775,108 shares entitled to vote, 34,569,246 shares voted for the nominees, 0 against and 3,205,862 were withheld. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS The common stock of the Company has traded from time to time on the over-the-counter market. Due to the infrequency of trades during the past two years, the Company does not believe that there is an established public trading market for its common stock. As of August 31, 1996, there were 1489 holders of record of the Company's common stock. There have been no dividends paid or declared since the inception of the Company, and the Company's present financial condition does not permit the payment of dividends. The Company cannot predict when, if at all, it will commence payment of dividends. ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION. Results of Operations. - --------------------- Overview The Company's results of operations for fiscal 1996 were significantly affected by the Company's acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of FZI and the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of GCCTS. Virtually all of the Company's revenues for fiscal 1996 were derived from operations resulting from those two acquisitions. Virtually all of the Company's revenues for fiscal 1995 resulted from a management agreements between the Company and KOC, which ended when KOC ceased operations in July 1995. GCT, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, utilizing the assets acquired from GCCTS, undertakes the Company's business of construction and repair of industrial cooling towers, primarily in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas. GCT has entered into a maintenance contract with a Texas public utility company through December 31, 1997. The Company anticipates that this contract should provide sufficient revenue during the period through December 31, 1997 to service all debt and pay all expenses of GCT's business. GCT is engaged in active bidding for similar contracts with other utility and petro chemical companies. The Company, through GCT has established a sales office in the Dallas metroplex area. While the Company believes it is premature to determine any trends in GCT's business, it believes that GCT has the opportunity to secure a niche in the "commercial cooling tower market". The Company does not believe that it will have to make any material commitments for capital expenditures during the next twelve months with respect to GCT's business as it the Company anticipates that income from operations will be a sufficient source of funds to meet all capital needs. GCT's need for employees fluctuates with its contractual commitments to provide work and services. As a result, other than its executive officers who will receive no compensation until warranted by income, GCT has no full time employees. Any employees hired will be compensated on a job-by-job basis or in the form of commissions for sales. FZI, acquired by the Company in June 1996, experienced very little activity for the remainder of fiscal year 1996. Since FZI operations contributed to the Company's revenues for only the last two months of fiscal 1996, any impact on the Company's overall revenue was insignificant. The Company believes that FZI's revenues for the next twelve months will be sufficient to meet all capital needs, including those necessary to continue FZI's research and development activities regarding specialized fire fighting products. FZI anticipates adding approximately six commissioned sales personnel during the next twelve months, and aside from its executive officers who receive no fixed compensation, FZI has no full time employees. The Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of the end of fiscal 1996 and anticipates that it will have no material commitments for capital expenditures during fiscal 1997 which cannot be met with revenues generated from operations. Results of Operations for the years ended August 31, 1995 and 1996. - ----------------------------------------- Revenues Revenue from sales and other sources in fiscal 1996 were $112,937 and $16,833 respectively compared to -0- in fiscal 1995. The Company received no revenue from management fees in fiscal 1996 compared to $142,110 in fiscal 1995. The sales revenue in fiscal 1996 reflected the Company's acquisition of FZI and the assets of GCCTS. The lack of management fee income in fiscal 1996 reflected the discontinuation of the Company's agreement with KOC in late fiscal 1995. Costs and Expenses. Costs of sales in fiscal 1996 were $93,640 compare to -0- in fiscal 1995. Cost of sales in fiscal 1996 reflected the change in the Company's business from a management service entity to a product orientated entity. Other Operating Expenses. During 1996, the officers of the Company determined that they would not take a salary until cash flow from operations permitted them to pay each of the three (3) officers $50,000. Therefore, no salaries were paid in fiscal 1996. The SEC staff has determined that the historical statement of operations should reflect all costs of doing business. Accordingly, officers' salaries for 1996 were imputed based on the actual number of months of operation during 1996. This expense is reflected in the 1996 statements of operations and also as an increase to paid-in capital. As discussed above, salaries and benefits for fiscal 1996 were imputed at $37,500 compared to $163,124 in fiscal 1995. This change again reflected a change in the Company's business and the relativity short period of time during which the Company operated after the acquisitions of FZI and the assets of GCCTS until the end of fiscal 1996. New Accounting Standards. In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". SFAS No. 123 establishes a new, fair value-based method of measuring stock-based compensation, but does not require an entity to adopt the new method for preparing its basic financial statements. For entities not adopting the new method for preparing basic financial statements, SFAS No. 123 requires disclosures in the footnotes of pro forma net earnings and earnings per share information as if the fair value-based method had been adopted. Adoption of SFAS No. 123 is required no later than the Company's fiscal year ending August 31, 1997. The disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 are effective for financial statements for financial years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company will comply with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 in its financial statements for its fiscal year ending August 31, 1997. Subsequent Event. - ----------------- Effective October 1, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire all of the common shares of CT Lewis Industries ("CTL"), a Texas Corporation. CTL is engaged in the business of fabrication of heavy metal, industrial equipment processes, brakes, lathes, drill pieces, vessels and other metal products and equipment. The transaction, the purchase price of which was 300,000 shares of the Company's Series A convertible preferred stock, was contingent and conditioned upon CTL providing the Company with audited financial statements by January 1, 1997. CTL did not provide the requested audited financial statements and the Company effective January 2, 1997 declared the agreement in material default and terminated same. Deferred Tax Assets. - -------------------- At August 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company had deferred assets totaling $28,284 and $38,684 respectively. The deferred tax assets are the result of net operating losses and have been fully reserved by valuation allowances because it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized based on the weight of available evidence. "Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. - ----------------------------------------------------------------- Forward-looking statements in this report, including without limitation, statements relating to the adequacy of the Company's resources, are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statement involve risks and uncertainties, including without limitation; potential quarterly fluctuation in sales; risks associated with acquisitions and expansion, and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

While the statements audited by Hutton, Patterson & Company for fiscal 1995 had a "going concern opinion" there were no disagreements between the Company and its accountants on any matter of principals or practices on accounting, financial disclosure matters, or auditing procedure during fiscal years 1995 and 1996.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS. Effective July 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Gulf Coast Cooling Tower Service, Inc. from the Company's Director and Secretary, George Davis. Mr. Davis abstained from voting as a Director of the Company in the transaction. The value of the assets according to the agreement between the parties is approximately $599,000. The acquisition resulted in the continuation of the business underlying the assets (through the Company's subsidiary, Gulf Coast Towers, Inc.), which is the construction and repair of industrial cooling towers primarily in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas for electric utility companies, and related consulting services. The purchase price for the assets was 599,000 shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value of $1.00 which is convertible on a one- for-one basis into the Company's common stock. During fiscal 1996 the Company contracted with an affiliate by common control, to perform certain services on the cooling tower sales.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company had a retained deficit of $595,929 at August 31, 1995. This condition and others discussed in NOTE H raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ Hutton, Patterson & Company March 4, 1996 Dallas, Texas F-3 ENVIRONMENTAL PLUS, INC.

F-7 ENVIRONMENTAL PLUS, INC. (F/K/A KINLAW ENERGY PARTNERS CORPORATION) AND SUBSIDIARIES Summary of Accounting Policies ================================================================= NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Environmental Plus, Incorporated (F/K/A Kinlaw Energy Partners Corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Fire Zap, Inc. and Gulf Coast Towers, Inc. from the date of their respective acquisitions, as discussed below. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Environmental Plus, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) is primarily in the business of construction and repair of industrial cooling towers, primarily in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas for electric utility companies; and marketing of fire retarding foam for industrial use. These activities are the result of two significant acquisitions during 1996, as discussed below. Prior to the acquisition of substantially all of the shares of the Company by Environmental Plus, Inc. during fiscal 1996 the Company operated as Kinlaw Energy Partners Corporation, (KEP), a Texas Corporation. Prior to August 31, 1987, the Company's operations consisted primarily of investments in oil and gas partnerships and joint ventures and acquired interests in producing oil and gas properties located in the continental United States. During the year ended August 31, 1987, substantially all of KEP's assets, including its oil and gas properties, were assigned to certain stockholders and creditors in satisfaction of outstanding indebtedness. During the year ended August 31, 1992, the Company began providing management services to an affiliated company, Kinlaw Oil Corporation (KOC). All funding requirements of the Company had been made through advances from the shareholder and advances from KOC (Note 5). In October 1995, all directors of KEP resigned. In June 1995, KOC ceased operations; thereby eliminating the Company's sole source of revenue. All employees were terminated as a result. F-8 ENVIRONMENTAL PLUS, INC. (F/K/A KINLAW ENERGY PARTNERS CORPORATION) AND SUBSIDIARIES Summary of Accounting Policies ================================================================= ACQUISITIONS OF BUSINESS On June 1, 1996, the Company purchased 100 percent of the stock of Fire Zap, Inc. (FZI). The consideration for the stock of FZI included 450,000 shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The purchase agreement also provides for certain contingent payment of an additional 450,000 preferred shares of the Company if the net revenues for the twelve months ending June 1, 1997, of FZI products and services exceeds $900,000. FZI is in the business of marketing a fire retarding foam as a fire fighting device for industrial use. The acquisition of FZI was accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the net assets acquired based upon their fair market values. On June 15, 1996, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of Gulf Coast Cooling Tower Service, Inc. (GCCTS) from the Company's director and secretary. The acquisition resulted in the continuation of the business underlying the assets through the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Gulf Coast Towers, Inc. (GCT). The consideration for the assets of GCCTS included 574,184 shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The acquisition was between entities under common control and accordingly the purchase of assets was recorded at historical value by the Company in a manner similar to a pooling of interest. The accompanying consolidated statements of operations reflect the operating results of FZI and GCCTS since the effective date of the acquisitions. The following pro forma unaudited consolidated operating results of the Company is presented as though the acquisitions occurred as of September 1, 1994. However FZI results are included only for the period from inception of FZI (January 22, 1996) to August 31, 1996. 1996 1995 - ---------------------------------------------------------- Net sales $ 429,000 $ 403,500 Net income (loss) (3,500) 162,000 Earning (loss) per share $ - $ - F-9 ENVIRONMENTAL PLUS, INC. (F/K/A KINLAW ENERGY PARTNERS CORPORATION) AND SUBSIDIARIES Summary of Accounting Policies ================================================================= The pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and include certain adjustments. They do not purport to be indicative of the consolidated results of operations which actually would have resulted had the combination been in effect on September 1, 1994, or of the future results of operations of the consolidated entities. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclose of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first- out) or market. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the length of the lease, including anticipated renewal periods, whichever is shorter. ORGANIZATION COSTS AND GOODWILL Organizational costs are costs directly associated with the FZI business acquisition and the direct costs of acquiring the KEP shares. The goodwill represents the net cost in excess of net assets acquired in the FZI acquisition. These costs are being amortized over a five year period on a straight-line basis. The Company evaluates the recoverability and remaining life of its goodwill and determines whether the goodwill should be completely or partially written-off or the amortization period accelerated. The Company will recognize an impairment of goodwill if undiscounted estimated future operating cash flows of the acquired business are determined to be less than the carrying amount of the goodwill. If the Company determines that the goodwill has been impaired, the measurement of the impairment will be equal to the excess of the carrying amount of the goodwill over the amount of the undiscounted estimated future operating cash flows. If an F-10 ENVIRONMENTAL PLUS, INC. (F/K/A KINLAW ENERGY PARTNERS CORPORATION) AND SUBSIDIARIES Summary of Accounting Policies ================================================================= impairment of goodwill were to occur, the Company would reflect the impairment through a reduction in the carrying value of goodwill. TAXES ON INCOME The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under SFAS 109, deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS 109, the effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. CASH EQUIVALENTS For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. PER SHARE INFORMATION Per share information is based on the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding. Common stock equivalents in the form of stock options and warrants are also considered in the computation, if dilutive. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Effective September 1, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of". The new standard establishes new guidelines regarding when impairment losses on long-lived assets, which include property and equipment, certain identifiable intangible assets and goodwill, should be recognized and how impairment losses should be measured. The Company expects no effect from the adoption of this new accounting standard. In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". SFAS No. 123 establishes a new, fair value- based method of measuring stock-based F-11 compensation, but does not require an entity to adopt the new method for preparing its basic financial statements. For entities not adopting the new method for preparing basic financial statements, SFAS No. 123 requires disclosures in the footnotes of pro forma net earnings and earnings per share information as if the fair value-based method had been adopted. Adoption of SFAS No. 123 is required no later that the Company's fiscal year ending August 31, 1997. The disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 are effective for financial statements for financial years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company will comply with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 in its financial statements for its fiscal year ending August 31, 1997. F-12 ENVIRONMENTAL PLUS, INC. (F/K/A KINLAW ENERGY PARTNERS CORPORATION) AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ================================================================= 1. INVENTORIES Inventories at August 31, 1996 consist primarily of parts for construction of cooling towers and trailers totaling $43,256. 2.

LINE OF CREDIT AND NOTES PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTIES At August 31, 1996, the Company had net borrowings of $33,000 under a revolving line of credit with a bank. The maximum borrowings under the line of credit is $37,000 and the agreement terminates as of February 1997. The line of credit is secured by substantially all assets of FZI and accrues interest at prime rate plus 3 percent. Notes payable to related parties consist of the following at August 31, 1996: 12% unsecured demanding note payable to officer $ 5,000 10.5% unsecured note payable to GCCTS, due July 31, 1997 12,000 10.5% unsecured note payable to shareholder, due July 31, 1997 1,000 ------------------------------------------------------------ $ 18,000 ============================================================ F-13 ENVIRONMENTAL PLUS, INC. (F/K/A KINLAW ENERGY PARTNERS CORPORATION) AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ================================================================= 5. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES During the year the Company contracted with an affiliate by common control, to perform certain services on the cooling tower related sales. Costs to the Company and cash disbursements to the affiliate totaled $64,070. At year end the Company had certain notes payable to related parties as discussed in Note 4. During the year GD-JD, Inc., an affiliate by common control, loaned the Company $4,000 and make payments on behalf of the Company for $11,391. The net amount due GD-JD, Inc. at August 31, 1996 was forgiven and added to additional paid-in capital. During fiscal 1996, certain expenses totaling $23,445 were paid on behalf of the Company by non-shareholders. These payments are recorded as forgiveness of debt. During 1996, the officers of the Company determined that they would not take a salary until cash flow from operations permitted them to pay each of three officers $50,000. Therefore, no salaries were paid in fiscal 1996. The SEC staff has determined that the historical statement of operations should reflect all costs of doing business (SAB 79). Accordingly, officers' salaries for 1996 were imputed based on the actual number of months of operation during 1996. This expense is reflected in the 1996 statement of operations and also as an increase to paid-in capital. The Company collected management fees totaling $142,110 from KOC for the year ended August 31, 1995. Additionally, KOC provided office space to the Company at no charge, through June 1995. The Company had a payable to a shareholder of $24,786 at August 31, 1994. The shareholder forgave the repayment of this amount during the year ended August 31, 1995. The Company also had a payable to KOC of $206,560 at August 31, 1994. During the year ended August 31, 1995, KOC advanced additional funds of $14,000 to the Company and paid $12,435 to various vendors on behalf of the Company. The Company repaid $21,000 and transferred its property and equipment to KOC. The remaining balance of $206,883 was forgiven by KOC. During fiscal 1996 KOC advanced $4,602 to the Company for the payment of payroll taxes. This amount was also forgiven. F-14 ENVIRONMENTAL PLUS, INC. (F/K/A KINLAW ENERGY PARTNERS CORPORATION) AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ================================================================= 6. INCOME TAXES During the years ended August 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company utilized net operating loss carryforwards of $30,529 and $193,777, respectively, to offset taxable income. Therefore, there is no provision for federal income tax for the years then ended. This resulted in a reduction of the recorded deferred tax asset at August 31, 1996 and 1995 of $10,400 and $48,029, respectively. The related valuation allowance was reduced accordingly. Management established the valuation allowance since it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized based on the weight of available evidence. In accordance with the Internal Revenue Code, the availability to carry forward net operating losses incurred prior to 1987 are limited due to a significant change in ownership during that year. If not utilized, these net operating losses will begin to expire in 2006. The remaining net operating losses for tax purposes, are approximately $100,832. However, during fiscal 1996 there was another significant change in ownership which will further limit the availability of those net operating losses (Note 10). The extent of the limitation has not been determined. The Company has investment tax credits available to be carried forward to offset income tax in the amount of $3,364 which expire in 1997 through 2001. The net deferred tax asset in the accompanying balance sheets includes the following at August 31,: 1996 1995 ------------------------------------------------------------ Deferred tax asset $ 28,284 $ 38,684 Less valuation allowance 28,284 38,684 ------------------------------------------------------------ - - ------------------------------------------------------------ Deferred tax liability - - ------------------------------------------------------------ Net deferred tax asset $ - $ - ============================================================ F-15 ENVIRONMENTAL PLUS, INC.

PREFERRED STOCK The Series A preferred stock was issued in conjunction with the FZI and GCCTS acquisitions. The terms of each share of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will, at the option of the shareholders, be convertible into one share of the Company's common stock. The Company may upon written thirty day notice delivered to the shareholders prior to the time of any conversion of such stock into the Company's common stock, repurchase such preferred stock for cash equal to two times the par value of such Preferred Stock. Shareholders are able to convert the Preferred Stock into shares of common stock of the Company at any time after the date of issue. In the event the Company delivers written notice to the shareholders of its intent to repurchase the Preferred Stock, shareholders will have twenty days to deliver written notice to buyer of their intent to convert the Preferred Stock into buyer's common stock. 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company entered into a Financial Advisory Agreement with Barron Chase Securities. As part of the agreement the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of its common stock. The agreement outlines the duties of the financial advisor and the fees for the related services. Fire Zap, Inc. entered into a management agreement with certain of its officers in February 1996, which stipulates salary and bonus requirements. The term of the agreement is twenty years. The Company is generally self-insured for losses and liabilities related primarily to workers' compensation, health and welfare claims, physical damage to property, business interruption resulting from certain events, and comprehensive general, product and vehicle liability. F-16 ENVIRONMENTAL PLUS, INC. (F/K/A KINLAW ENERGY PARTNERS CORPORATION) AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ================================================================= 9. RETIREMENT PLAN Effective August 1, 1994, the Company was provided with a 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) through KOC, that covered substantially all of its employees. Under the provisions of the Plan, employees were limited in contributions to 20 percent of their gross wages. The Company contributed $.25 for each dollar of the first $1,000 contributed by employees. Total employer contributions for the year ended August 31, 1995, were $250. The Company had the option to make discretionary contributions to the Plan, but elected not to do so for the year ended August 31, 1995. Pursuant to the change in ownership as discussed at Note 10, the employees are no longer covered under this Plan. 10. CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP In September 1991, ownership of the common stock shares held by Joe D. Kinlaw was transferred to the Kinlaw Family Trust. This trust is an irrevocable trust for the benefit of Mr. Kinlaw's minor children. Through October 1995, the Trust was controlled by trustees unaffiliated with Mr. Kinlaw. In October 1995, the above mentioned trustees resigned and Jim Harris was appointed trustee of the Trust. Subsequent to August 31, 1995, 34,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, which were held by the Kinlaw Family Trust, were sold to Environmental Plus, Inc. 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENT Effective October 1, 1996, the Company acquired all of the common shares of C.T. Lewis Industries (CTL), a Texas corporation. CTL is engaged in the business of fabrication of heavy metal, industrial equipment processes, brakes, lathes, drill presses, vessels and other metal products and equipment. The transaction, the purchase price of which was 300,000 shares of the Company's Series A convertible preferred stock, was contingent and conditioned upon CTL providing the Company with audited financial statements by January 1, 1997. CTL did not provide the requested audited financial statements and the Company effective January 2, 1997 declared the agreement in material default and terminated same. F-17 ENVIRONMENTAL PLUS, INC. (F/K/A KINLAW ENERGY PARTNERS CORPORATION) AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ================================================================= 12. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION During the fiscal 1996 and 1995 no cash was paid for interest or income taxes. As described in Note 5, the Company recognized forgiveness of debt income in 1996 and 1995 in the amount of $23,455 and $231,669, respectively. As described in the Accounting Policies, the Company issued 574,184 preferred shares and 450,000 common shares in the acquisitions of Gulf Coast Towers, Inc. and Fire Zap, Inc., respectively. During 1996 the Company issued 1,573,443 common shares for services provided.
