INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
GlobeNet Inc.
Dallas, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GlobeNet Inc.
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial
statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
schedules are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and schedules. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and schedules.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of GlobeNet Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

GLOBENET INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of GlobeNet Inc., (GlobeNet or the Company) and its wholly owned
Subsidiaries; Royal Bodycare, Inc.(RBC-US), Royal Bodycare, Inc. (Canada)
(RBC-Canada), Pure Life International Products, Inc.(Pure Life), Arlington
Laboratories, Inc. (Arlington) and Royal Bodycare S.A. de C.V. (RBC-Mexico)
(collectively the Subsidiaries). RBC-Canada and Pure Life are organized under
the Canadian Business Corporation Act. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated. A subsidiary of the Company, Kalo Vita,
Inc. (KV) filed for bankruptcy in 1994. The Company does not have control of
this entity, therefore it is not consolidated in these financial statements.
The common stock of the Subsidiaries was owned by Clinton H. Howard and members
of his family until July 1, 1995. On that date the common stock of the
Subsidiaries was contributed to GlobeNet in exchange for 3,600,000 shares of
common stock. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared as if
the Subsidiaries had been contributed to GlobeNet on the respective dates of
their affiliation with Mr. Howard.
COMPANY HISTORY - GlobeNet was incorporated in Texas in June 1995 by Clinton H.
Howard, to serve as a holding company for certain companies affiliated with Mr.
Howard. In July 1995, all of the outstanding capital stock of these affiliated
companies was contributed to GlobeNet by Mr. Howard and his immediate family.
The Company's principle U.S. marketing operations are conducted through RBC-US,
formed by Mr. Howard in 1991.
In 1991 Mr. Howard formed Arlington, a Texas corporation for the purpose of
operating a facility to test the Company's products and perform certain private
label manufacturing activities.
In 1992 Mr. Howard formed RBC-Canada to market products in Canada through a
network of independent distributors. RBC-Canada owns all the outstanding stock
of Pure Life which it purchased in 1992. Pure Life has been in business since
1982.
In 1993 Mr. Howard formed RBC-Mexico to market nutritional and skin care
products. RBC-Mexico ceased operations in late 1995 due to revenue below
expectations.
In 1995 the Company entered into separate agreements to license the exclusive
rights to sell its products in Indonesia and Sweden through office /warehouse
facilities owned and operated by third parties in the respective companies. In
1996 the Company entered into a similar arrangement with a third party licensee
to market the Company's products in Japan. Under these agreements distributors
in these countries are compensated according to the same compensation plan as
that used for the Company's independent distributors.
TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES - All current assets and liabilities of
foreign subsidiaries were translated into U. S. dollars at the exchange rate in
effect at the balance sheet date. Long-term assets and equity were translated
at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expense accounts were translated at
weighted average exchange rates. Translation gains and losses are reflected as
a separate component of shareholders' equity.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
REVENUE RECOGNITION - The Company sells its products through a network of
independent distributors. The Company recognizes revenue upon sale to its
distributors.
INVENTORIES - Inventories, consisting of finished goods held for resale and
packaging materials, are stated at the lower of cost or market using the
first-in first-out method. The Company may from time to time purchase raw
materials in bulk to be processed at third party locations. These materials are
stated at cost.
CASH EQUIVALENTS - For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company
considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment are recorded at cost.
Depreciation and amortization are being provided over the estimated useful
lives of the related assets, principally on the straight-line and declining
balance methods ranging from three to seven years.
The Company reviews its property and other noncurrent assets for impairment
when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. Impairment is measured as the amount by which the carrying
amount of the asset exceeds the fair market value of the asset less disposal
costs.
INCOME TAXES - The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS 109 requires
an asset and liability approach to financial accounting for income taxes. In
the event differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis
of the Company's assets and liabilities result in deferred tax assets, SFAS 109
requires an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future
benefits indicated by such assets. A valuation allowance is provided for a
portion or all of the deferred tax assets when there is an uncertainty
regarding the Company's ability to recognize the benefits of the assets in
future years.
The Company files a consolidated tax return with its subsidiaries. Deferred
income taxes are the result of temporary differences between the amount of
assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting and tax purposes for
the Company's Canadian subsidiaries.
GOODWILL - Goodwill is amortized over 20 years. Goodwill is reviewed for
impairment on an annual basis.
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994
10. CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED):
PRIVATE PLACEMENT - In 1996 and 1995 the Company sold 120,000 and 285,000
shares of common stock, respectively, through a private placement offering at a
per share price of $2.50. The proceeds were used to pay accounts payable, to
repay a portion of the note to shareholder and for international expansion.
11. INCOME TAXES:
Until July 1995, RBC-US, Arlington and KV qualified under IRS regulations as
Subchapter S corporations. As such, all of their net operating losses prior to
July 1995 were passed through to their shareholders for inclusion in the
respective tax returns of such shareholders. Therefore the Company has no net
operating loss carryforwards for periods prior to July 1995 available to offset
future taxable income.
Income tax benefits in 1994 recognized by Canada are due to the application of
carry forward losses and capital cost allowances together with the recognition
of previously unclaimed capital loss allowances.
12. LIGHTFORCE ACQUISITION:
In June 1996 the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain
liabilities of Lightforce, a network marketing company which distributed a line
of nutritional products, for 600,000 shares of the Company's common stock
valued at $1,500,000. In connection with the acquisition the company received
inventory and fixed assets and agreed to assume certain trade accounts payable,
notes payable and commissions payable.
The purchase agreement calls for additional shares of common stock to be paid
based on sales to the Lightforce distributors. Additional common stock, valued
at market price but in no event less than $2.50 per share, will be paid equal
to 25% of sales generated by the Lightforce distributor network during the
first year after the purchase; and 25% of incremental sales above the first
year generated during the second year.
In addition, the agreement specified that the seller will receive a 5%
commission on all sales of Lightforce products. This commission amounted to
$57,240 in 1996.
13. KV BANKRUPTCY:
On November 22, 1994, as a result of a lien filed related to an outstanding
payable, KV filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the
bankruptcy code. In September 1996 a plan of liquidation was approved and
became effective for KV.
Until approval of the plan of liquidation, KV was operated under a Management
Agreement with RBC-US, which provided, among other things, that RBC-US operate
KV in exchange for KV's payment of a prorata share (based on the relative sales
volumes of the two companies) of the expenses incurred to support the
operations of RBC-US and KV.

14. DISCONTINUED OPERATION:
In 1994 the Company closed the Arlington facility and transferred its testing
and manufacturing activities to other entities. This closing has been accounted
for as a discontinued operation in these financial statements.
15. NON-CASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES:
In 1996 the Company purchased Lightforce for 600,000 shares of common stock
valued at $1,500,000.
16. SUBSEQUENT EVENT:
On March 31, 1997 the company merged with Mighty Power USA, Inc.(Mighty Power),
a public company domiciled in the state of Delaware. Similar to the Company,
Mighty Power sells vitamins and health food products through a network of
independent distributors. Under the terms of the merger the Company exchanged
100% of its outstanding common stock for 10,407,750 shares, or 86%, of the
outstanding common stock of Mighty Power. This transaction, a purchase, will be
accounted for as a reverse merger with the Company being the acquirer.
Concurrent with the merger with Mighty Power, an affiliate of Mighty Power,
Great Xpectations Marketing, Inc. (GXI) acquired all of the assets and
liabilities of two other Mighty Power affiliates for $100,000 in notes payable.
Then, Mighty Power purchased all of the stock of GXI for a $100,000 promissory
note. As part of the merger Mighty Power changed its name to GlobeNet
International I, Inc.
The following unaudited pro forma summary presents the consolidated results of
operations of the Company as if the Mighty Power merger had occurred at the
beginning of periods presented, after including the impact of certain
adjustments including amortization of intangibles.
