TECHNOLOGY GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On September 1, 1994, the Company received a memorandum from the United
States Justice Department outlining proposed settlement terms relating to toxic
chemical contamination at a site formerly occupied by a subsidiary of the
Company. The memorandum stipulated that the Untied States Government (U.S.G.)
would receive $25,000 upon the execution of the settlement, $206,000 payable
over five years, and a balloon payment of $150,000 payable in five years. In
addition, the U.S.G. would receive 60 percent of the net rental income derived
from the property and 60 percent of the net proceeds from the sale of the
property. The Company has requested a re-negotiation of the settlement terms.
In March of 1997, the Company made a counter-proposal to the U.S.G.
seeking reduction in the proposed terms for restoration expenditures incurred by
the Company resulting from severe zoning changes following the cleanup phase. As
of December 31, 1999, the Company's expenditures to accommodate code changes in
order to permit re-occupancy of the premises were approximately $200,000. At
December 31, 1999, this counter-proposal was being evaluated by the U.S.G. In
the event of an unfavorable resolution to this matter, the Company could
experience a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of
operations and cash flows and may have no alternative means by which to finance
such resolution other than to sell certain of its assets to meet its obligation
resulting from the ultimate resolution.
In July of 1997, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
(D.E.P.) instituted suit against the Company related to toxic chemical
contamination at the site mentioned in the preceding paragraphs. The civil
action is brought pursuant to the Spill Compensation and Control Act (Spill
Act), whereby the D.E.P. seeks to recover costs which it has expended and
intends to expend in the future for the cleanup of the hazardous substances.
As of July 1997, the D.E.P. had incurred costs in excess of $1,150,000
and is attempting to recover an amount equal to three times the cleanup costs
incurred, and to be incurred, in accordance with a provision in the Spill Act.
The litigation is now in the discovery process, and the ultimate outcome of such
litigation cannot be determined at the present time. In the event of an
unfavorable resolution to this matter, the Company could experience a material
adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows
and may have no alternative means by which to finance such resolution other than
to sell certain of its assets to meet its obligation resulting from the ultimate
resolution.
At December 31, 1999, the Company has accrued $444,000 which management
believes will be sufficient to satisfy any liabilities which may result in
connection with the settlement of the above mentioned matters.
In addition to the above, the Company is party to various lawsuits and
claims arising in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate effects of
such litigation cannot be determined at the present time, it is management's
opinion, based on the advice of legal counsel, that any liabilities which may
result from these actions would not have a material effect on the Company's
ability to operate.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The Company has incurred costs of approximately $75,000 towards the purchase of
hardware, software, installation and the training of personnel. The new system
was fully operational by October 1999.

Item 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
For the nine-month period ended December 31, 1999, Technology General
Corporation and subsidiary had consolidated revenues of $2,393,590 and a net
loss of $109,930. Technology General Corporation, operating individually as a
holding company managing the various operating segments, does not generate
significant revenue other than allocating management expenses to the
operating entities and leasing space to two tenants.
The Eclipse and Clawson Divisions operate in combination with each other
and total sales for the nine-month period amounted to $798,340 and $324,299
respectively for a total of $1,122,639. The comparable sales for the nine-month
period ending December 31, 1998 were $805,827 for Eclipse and $276,463 for
Clawson for a total of $1,082,290. The 1999 nine-month combined sales increased
$40,349 compared to the 1998 nine-month total.
Clawson Machine's ice crushing products featuring the patented "Plus
Crusher* are used in conjunction with major ice cube machines, primarily
Scotsman, Manitowoc, Crystal Tips and Ice-O-Matic. This system provides an
in-line means to intercept the flow of ice cubes in order to process them into
crushed ice during each ice cube harvest cycle. This device, which is installed
as an integral part of each ice cube machine, is used predominately by hotels
and restaurants where large volumes of crushed ice are required.
Clawson Machine has received recognition form the National Sanitation
Foundation (N.S.F.) for improvements of its various machines used primarily for
crushing ice applicable to hotels and restaurants. N.S.F. approval is becoming a
mandatory requirement throughout various parts of the country for machines used
in the processing of foods and liquids to assure maintenance of sanitary
conditions. Clawson is one of a few manufacturers in its category who has been
awarded this distinction.
Elcipse System's sales for the nine-months ended December 31, 1999,
decreased $7,487 from the comparable period for 1998. Management expects sales
to increase as a result of the introduction of a new line of industrial mixers.
The division has recently designed and developed a special line of chemical
mixers, which are expected to generate increased sales in the air-driven mixer
market.
The Precision Metalform Division reported sales for the nine-months
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 of $725,890 and $695,072 respectively.
Management anticipates that sales for the balance of the year are expected to
increase in the writing instrument field whereas cosmetic sales are expected to
remain stable. Precision Metalform, along with the Company's other operating
divisions, has taken positive steps to reduce its general and administration
overhead, including efforts to reduce inventories to conserve cash flow.
Transbanc International Investors Corporation, a wholly owned
subsidiary, is a real estate holding company, which leases its 107,000 square
foot building to five (5) industrial tenants. Total rental revenue for the
nine-months ended December 31, 1999 amounted to $417,018, an increase of $960
compared to the nine-months ended December 31, 1998. Management anticipates a
modest increase in revenue from this facility resulting from modified leases for
an extended period of time.
The Company's Aerosystems Technology Division owns a 24,000 square foot
industrially zoned building situated on 22 acres located in Franklin, New
Jersey, of which 3.5 acres were subject of an E.P.A. Superfund cleanup. This
property has been fully restored and is presently occupied by two (2) tenants.
Rental revenue for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1999 totaled $19,242
compared to $34,388 for the comparable 1998 period, a decrease of $15,146.

LIQUIDITY
As of December 31, 1999 current assets amounted to $1,354,228 and
current liabilities totaled $353,172, reflecting a working capital of $1,001,056
and a current ratio of 2.83 to 1. There was a negative cash flow of $296,943 for
the current nine-month period due to the purchase of building improvements and
equipment in the amount of $196,512 and principal payments of long-term debt of
$170,692.

generated sales of $1,848,529 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1999.
RENTAL SALES. Total consolidated rental billings for the nine-month
period ended December 31, 1999 amounted to $545,061, a decrease of $18,044 over
the same period for 1998.
GROSS MARGIN. The consolidated gross profit margin for the nine-months
ended December 31, 1999, was 40 percent.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. These expenses as a
percent of net sales were approximately 46 percent for the nine-months ended
December 31, 1999.
INTEREST. Total Interest Expense for the nine-months ended December 31,
1999 amounted to $108,260 of which $97,966 is reflected under "Cost of Rentals"
and the remainder of $10,294 is shown as a separate line item within "Other
Income (Expense)".
NET INCOME/LOSS. The net loss for the nine-months ended December 31,
1999 amounted to $109,930 and the net loss for the comparable 1998 nine-month
period was $55,637.
