AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Company) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements April 30, 1996 and 1995 (unaudited) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Business Organization American Absorbents Natural Products, Inc. was incorporated on February 9, 1984 under the laws of the State of Utah and under the name of TPI Land, Inc. as a wholly-owned subsidiary of TPI, Inc. On September 14, 1990, the Company changed its name to Environmental Fuels, Inc. and began developing its involvement in various phases of the conversion of vehicles to operating on compressed natural gas. That developing business was sold on April 23, 1991 (see Note 3). On May 6, 1991, the Company changed its name to Geo-Environmental Resources, Inc. and is now developing its involvement in the distribution of zeolite, a mineral product which is an absorbent and has many potential uses such as oil and gas well cleanup, shoe and refrigerator freshener, landfill absorption, and other agricultural uses. On February 6, 1992, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of Geo-Environment Services, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary involved in marketing of the zeolite products. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. In accordance with the FASB technical bulletin 85-5, historical costs were used to record the acquired assets and liabilities. In 1996, the Company changed its name to American Absorbent Natural Products, Inc. and the name of its subsidiary to American Absorbents, Inc. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Absorbents Natural Products, Inc. and it subsidiary American Absorbents, Inc. Collectively, these entities are referred to as the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Method of Accounting The Company recognized income and expenses according to the accrual method of accounting. Expenses are recognized when performance is substantially complete and income is recognized when earned. Earnings (loss) per share are computed based on the weighted average method. The fiscal year of the Company ends January 31 of each year. The financial statements reflect activity from inception, February 9, 1984. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Nonmonetary Transactions Nonmonetary transactions are transactions for which no cash was exchanged and for which shares of common stock were exchanged for assets. These transactions are recorded at fair market value as determined by the board of directors. -12- 13 AMERICAN ABSORBENTS NATURAL PRODUCTS, INC.

Substantially all of the Company's efforts since its formation have been devoted to establishing its new business. No significant revenue has been earned as of the balance sheet date. Operations have been devoted to raising capital, purchasing zeolite property and establishing a marketing plan. Continuation of the development effort is contingent upon the Company raising sufficient capital from shareholders or other sources. It is managements' intent to raise capital and further develop the marketing of its zeolite products. -13- 14 AMERICAN ABSORBENTS NATURAL PRODUCTS, INC.

Depreciation expense is $3,697 and $2,885 for the three months ended April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company has agreements with various vendors to do the mining and milling of its zeolite mineral and products; this has resulted in minimal investment in machinery and equipment. During 1996, the Company purchased a building near Burns, Oregon that will act as a processing and storage facility for its Oregon zeolite deposits. NOTE 8 - MINING CLAIMS The Company has purchased several zeolite mining claims in three different regions in the western United States. All purchases were acquired through stock issuance's and are described below. In April 1991 (before acquisition by Geo-Environmental Resources) (now American Absorbents Natural Products, Inc.), the Company's subsidiary issued 440,000 shares of its stock for mining claims containing zeolite in the Mohave County, Arizona region, and the stock given was originally valued at $.50 per share. Thus the mining claims were originally valued at $220,000. Since the -18- 19 AMERICAN ABSORBENTS NATURAL PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY (A Development Stage Company) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements April 30, 1996 and 1995 (unaudited) NOTE 8 - MINING CLAIMS (Continued) value of the mining claims was not readily determined the mining claims were written down to a value of $20,000. In October 1991 the Company acquired twenty zeolite mining claims in Harney County, Oregon. The value of the claims was agreed to be $185,000 by the seller and purchaser and 13,214 shares of common stock were issued. The stock was quoted on the market at $1.40 per share, thus determining the number of shares to be issued for the claims. In December 1991, the Company acquired an additional 203 zeolite mining claims in the Harney County, Oregon region. A geological study was conducted and reserves were estimated at over 477,600,000 tons. The value per ton was also estimated based on mining costs and market value of the other companies in the industry. The reserves were then discounted 99% and a value was determined to be approximately $4,800,000. Stock was then issued at market price to equal the value given to the claims. To date no depletion has been taken on any of these claims. Depletion of these assets will begin once mining operations on these claims begin. NOTE 9 - PRODUCT TRADENAMES In August of 1991 the Company purchased for common stock, notes payable and cash, the inventory and the tradenames for two shoe products. The inventory was valued at $115,000 and the remainder of the purchase price of $25,000 was attributed to the tradenames of the products. The tradenames are being amortized on the straight-line method over a five (5) year period. NOTE 10 - RELATED PARTY NOTES PAYABLE The notes payable-related party consist of advances from Austin-Young, Inc., a major shareholder of the Company. The balances are as follows: April 30, --------------------- 1996 1995 Notes payable - Austin-Young, Inc., bearing interest at 7% interest and payable on demand.

During December 1993, the Company issued 38,170 and 41,902 shares of restricted common stock in a private placement at $3 and $1.84 per share, respectively. The shares issued were under an option agreement as part of the private placement that occurred during October 1993. On July 5, 1994, 22,500 shares of common stock were issued at $4 per share in a regulation D private stock offering. In 1996, the Company issued 214,168 shares of common stock in a regulation private placement for total consideration of $394,362. -20- 21 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS. The Company, per FASB statement No.7, is properly accounted for and reported as a development stage enterprise. The Company's efforts since entering its current business have been devoted primarily to Company capitalization, acquisition of mining properties, packaging and milling facility acquisitions and product and market development. The Company has realized limited sales in each of its fiscal years ended January 31, 1992, January 31, 1993, January 31, 1994, January 31, 1995 and January 31, 1996 from limited test marketing programs for its products while in the development stage. During the development stage the Company has developed over a dozen products and test marketed these products in various parts of the country. LIQUIDITY Austin-Young, Inc., the parent corporation of the Company, provided a portion of the Company's operating capital during fiscal years 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1996 through loans and equity funding and the Company owed approximately $182,539 to the parent company at April 30, 1996. Revenues to date have provided insignificant funding of working capital because of the development stage status of the company and the limited test marketing programs. During the fiscal years 1994, 1995 and 1996, the Company has incurred losses that reflect the development stage activity of researching and test marketing its products. The company has paid $81,370, $140,739 and $0 for research and development for the years 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The Company paid $76,500 to the Bureau of Land Management in August 1993 on its mining claims and $91,700 in the fiscal year ended January 31, 1996. In the future, approximately $37,400 will be due to the Bureau of Land Management in August of each year to satisfy claim maintenance fees on existing claims. Austin-Young, Inc. has provided, through loans and equity funding, any deficiencies to the necessary funding during the development stage, but expects funding from private placements and other offerings will be sufficient for future development costs. Total net funds loaned to the Company from Austin-Young, Inc. as of April 30, 1996 and 1995, were $182,539 and $130,101, respectively. When possible, the Company has issued stock for the acquisition of assets or services to reduce the need for additional operating capital from it parent corporation, additional shareholders or gross profits from its limited marketing efforts. A large part of the Company's zeolite mineral deposits were acquired by stock issuances which is expected to play an integral part of maintaining a competitive edge by keeping supply costs of the principle ingredient of its products to a minimum. During the development stage, the Company has also relied on the time and talents of Austin-Young, Inc. personnel and office space and equipment to maintain a lower overhead to conserve its limited resources for product and market development. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 1994, the Company issued 12,000 shares of common stock to its parent corporation under an option agreement for $36,000. During October 1993, the Company issued 66,667 shares of common stock to a group of private investors for $200,000 in a private offering. The offering also granted a 90-day option to these investors to take additional shares and on December 17, 1993, the investors exercised their options in the amount of 80,072 shares for $191,400. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 1995, the Company issued 22,500 shares in a private placement for $90,000. During that same time period the Company also issued a total of 62,750 shares for services rendered to the Company and valued at $251,735. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 1996, the Company issued 214,168 shares in a private placement for $394,362 and issued 9,000 shares for services rendered to the Company and valued at $22,400. During the quarter ended April 30, 1996, the Company issued 39,834 shares in a private placement for $54,750 and issued 8,000 shares for services rendered and valued at $16,000. The Company realizes gross profit margins generally ranging from 20% to 60% on its product sales depending on product line and pricing levels. At current operating expense levels and with the anticipated product sales mix, the Company estimates its break-even at approximately $100,000 in sales per month or just over $1,000,000 in sales per year. The Company has no bank debt outstanding. All accounts payable and accrued expenses are paid when due or sooner when discounts are available. In addition to monthly operating expenses the Company has a monthly mortgage payment of $1,500 due to a corporation on a warehouse/plant it purchased. The mortgage has a balloon payment due in September 1996. The Company intends to pay the mortgage from proceeds of a public or private -21- 22 stock offering or through a bank mortgage on the facility. During the Quarters ended April 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company recorded losses of $83,881 and $97,214, respectively. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Because the Company is a development stage enterprise, it has incurred losses in each of its fiscal years ended January 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996. This is due to the Company incurring operating expenses during a time when most of the efforts were expended in product and market development and other areas not directly related to marketing while positioning the Company to implement various marketing programs. In fiscal 1992, the Company began test marketing products that it had developed and/or to which it had acquired the rights from other companies. Revenues increased from $11,388 in 1992 to $43,115 in 1993 due to test marketing of existing products in limited market areas. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 1994, the Company concentrated on attractive packaging of its products, Company capitalization and distribution networks, with less emphasis on product research as it prepared to implement various marketing programs for its products. Sales for the fiscal year indicated no growth over the previous year and, in fact, showed a decline in sales. Sales for the fiscal year ended January 31, 1995, increased to $69,467, or 242% over the previous year, as the Company expanded the test marketing of products into more outlets. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 1996, sales declined to $26,070 as the Company's management concentrated on the revamping of existing marketing structures in retail outlets, the design of a marketing program to market agricultural products through feed dealers, the development of the conceptional framework for marketing the smaller packaged products through a direct sales organization, the development of a relationship with an import company in France to market products in France and the acquisition of a milling facility in Oregon. The Company expects revenues to increase in the new year. The Company's products are priced at various levels to generate gross profit margins of 20% to 60%. Even in the test marketing programs, the Company has maintained gross profit margins of 58%, 42% and 26%, respectively, for the fiscal years ended January 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992. The gross profit margin for the fiscal year ended January 31, 1995, was negative primarily due to a write-off of obsolete and excess inventory in the amount of $42,702 and to product promotions that involved free product to new customers in introductory offers. The gross profit margin for the fiscal year ended January 31, 1996 was negative due to free product promotions. Profit margins should increase and then stabilize once production and marketing costs become reasonable with higher production levels and higher sales volume. Quantity discounts on bag purchases for certain of the Company's products could result in up to a 30% increase in the gross profit percent. Profit margins will increase significantly once the Company's milling facility in Oregon has been equipped and the Company begins to mine and process zeolites from its own properties. Gross profit margins for the quarters ended April 30, 1996 and 1995 were 16% and 0%, respectively, on revenues of $31,303 and $6,063, respectively. Ownership of its own zeolite deposits should allow the Company to better control its cost of sales since zeolite is the major raw material used in its products. The Company also has negotiated mining arrangements with mining companies to eliminate large capital requirements that would be necessary to acquire equipment. Also, milling, packaging, and inventory arrangements have eliminated the need to spend additional money for capital equipment necessary for these processes. The Company does plan to equip a milling facility that it purchased in October, 1995, from proceeds of a private or public stock offering to be made by the Company during the current fiscal year. General and administrative expenses have increased steadily since January 31, 1991, as the Company developed more products and added personnel to test market products. Depreciation and amortization expenses since inception have remained low because the Company contracts many of its needs that would otherwise require capital expenditures. A significant portion (approximately $251,000) of the Company's January 31, 1995 operating expenses relating to consulting services were funded through the issuance of common stock pursuant to S-8 Registration Statements. Approximately $22,400 of the operating expenses for the fiscal year ended January 31, 1996, were funded through S-8 Registration Statements. Approximately $16,000 of the operating expenses for the quarter ended April 30, 1996 were funded through S-8 Registration Statements. The Company's note payable to its parent company increased by approximately $65,000 during the fiscal year ended January 31, 1995, and by another $46,000 during the current fiscal year as the Company borrowed funds to help cover overhead expenses and accrued rent expenses owing to Austin Young, Inc. The balance of the note is expected to be paid from future earnings of the Company or from proceeds from a stock offering. -22- 23 In September 1993, the Company acquired a warehouse/plant facility in Austin, Texas, that it had previously leased. The note on this facility has a balloon payment due in September 1996. This note is expected to be paid off from future public or private stock offerings by the Company or from the proceeds of a bank mortgage. The Company has maintained current ratios of 1.10, 1.81 and 3.80, respectively, for the fiscal years ended January 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994. The current ratio for the fiscal year ended January 31, 1996, would have been 11.79 except for the reclassification to short term notes payable of a balloon payment due on a warehouse facility. The company expects to pay the mortgage off from proceeds of an equity offering or refinance the mortgage with long term debt. The current ratio for the quarters ended April 30, 1996 and 1995 were 1.04 and 1.35, respectively. The Company does not expect inflation to have any material effect on its revenues, costs or overall operation. Since the Company owns its own zeolite deposits that are the main raw material used in its products, inflation would generally give the Company a competitive edge over companies that do not own their own deposits. The Company expects that anticipated increased paper costs for the packaging used in its products can be off-set by price increases without losing any competitive edges since all other competitors will face the same price increases. The Company has begun using quality, less expensive plastic packaging for its Stall Fresh product. PLAN OF OPERATIONS Management believes that it can continue to fund its operations through private placements or funds received from the parent company until a public stock offering can be completed or revenues reach the level (approximately $1,000,000 per year) at which the gross profits attained will finance the operations. The Company will have to raise a more significant amount of equity in order to expand its operations at a more rapid rate. Management has begun a limited marketing campaign, based on available capital, of its agricultural related products in certain market areas of Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio, New York, Virginia and West Virginia. Several distributors have been signed to distribute the products and discussions are being held with others and are in different stages of completion which usually requires extensive testing and approval by each of the wholesale or retail outlets. The Company continues to sell some of its smaller packaged products through several of the retail outlets that participated in the test marketing program for the products. In November, 1995, the Company signed a temporary agreement with E.N.S.R./S.A.R.L., an import company located in France, to export the agricultural products for distribution primarily in France. The Company expects to sign a permanent agreement with this company within the next few months that may expand the distribution to other European countries. The Company has completed design and packaging for products such as Mother Earth KittyKat Premium Cat Litter and Soil Enhancer, White Buffalo, Stall Fresh, Stinky Pinkys and Shoe Fresh as well as eight other products. The Company is also working the conceptual framework of various other products using the zeolite materials present in its existing product line. This includes the impregnation of zeolites with pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers for use in fields, pastures and gardens as well as chemicals to help eradicate fire ants. The Company has purchased a production plant containing 3,500,000 cu. ft. of production, packaging and storage space near its zeolite properties in Oregon. The facility is not subject to any existing mortgages. The facility is already equipped with a 70-ton crane for easy movement of inventory and equipment within the facility. The Company plans an equity offering that will be used, in part, to equip this facility with crushing, milling, drying, screening, packaging and storage equipment. If the Company is successful in its efforts and a public stock offering is completed, the Company expects to spend approximately $400,000 for milling equipment; $155,000 on warehouse facilities in Texas; $500,000 for market development of its product line and marketing programs; $150,000 for inventory; $50,000 for repairs and maintenance, and $750,000 for general and administrative, working capital and contingency operations. -23- 24 PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
