Notes To Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 1. Business GreenMan Technologies, Inc. (the "Company" or "GreenMan") operates two business segments, the tire recycling operations (the "Recycling operations") located in Jackson and Lawrenceville, Georgia; Savage, Minnesota; Batesburg, South Carolina; and St. Francisville, Louisiana and the industrial material operation located in Birmingham, Alabama. Until closure in January 1998, the Company also operated an injection molding operation (the "Molding operation") located in Malvern, Arkansas. In August 1998, the Company's Louisiana crumb rubber processing facility was severely damaged by a fire which necessitated the closure of the operation. On June 30, 1997, the Company acquired as wholly owned subsidiaries, all of the capital stock of BFI Tire Recyclers of Minnesota, Inc. ("BTM") and BFI Tire Recyclers of Georgia, Inc. ("BTG"), both of which were wholly-owned subsidiaries of Browning-Ferris Industries, Inc. and are in the scrap tire collection and processing business. BTM and BTG have been renamed GreenMan Technologies of Minnesota, Inc. ("GMTM") and GreenMan Technologies of Georgia, Inc. ("GMTG"), respectively. On November 19, 1997, the Company acquired as a wholly owned subsidiary, all of the capital stock of Cryopolymers, Inc., ("Cryopolymers") a processor of scrap tire chips into crumb rubber located in St. Francisville, Louisiana. Cryopolymers was renamed GreenMan Technologies of Louisiana, Inc. ("GMTL"). GMTL ceased processing operations in August 1998 due to a fire and GMTL's facility was completely closed in December 1998. On September 4, 1998, the Company acquired all of the scrap tire collection and processing assets of United Waste Service, Inc. ("United"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Republic Services, Inc.. The two recycling operations are located in Lawrenceville, Georgia and Batesburg, South Carolina. The Lawrenceville operation was assumed by GMTG. The Batesburg operation has been incorporated as GreenMan Technologies of South Carolina, Inc. ("GMTSC"). The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, DuraWear Corporation ("DuraWear") located in Birmingham, Alabama manufactures, installs and markets a diverse range of high quality ceramic, polymer composite, and alloy steel materials engineered to resist severe abrasive and corrosive conditions typically encountered in bulk material handling systems. 2. Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company, GMTM, GMTG and DuraWear for all periods presented, GMTL since November 19, 1997 and GMTSC since September 4, 1998. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The Company discontinued operations at the Malvern, Arkansas molding operation effective January 1998. Management adopted a formal plan to dispose of the facility on January 31, 1998 and as a result, the consolidated financial statements of the Company were restated to reflect the operating results of the facility as a separate line item for all periods presented. The financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the transition period ended September 30, 1998 included in the Company's Form 10-KSB/A-1. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules and regulations, although the Company believes the disclosures which have been made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The results of operations for the periods reported are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary for a fair statement of operating results for the interim periods presented have been made. 8 GreenMan Technologies, Inc. Notes To Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 3. Change in Fiscal Year On June 24,1998, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a change of its fiscal year-end from May 31 of each year to September 30. Accordingly, during the first full year of the newly adopted fiscal period, quarterly results for the periods ended December 1998, March 1999 and June 1999 will be compared to prior fiscal periods ended November 1997, February 1998 and May 1998 respectively. Management believes there are no significant factors which would negatively impact the comparability of the information or trends reflected. 4. Net Loss Per Share Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stock divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential dilutive common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed conversion. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and warrants, (determined using the treasury stock method) and convertible debt. The assumed conversion of outstanding dilutive stock options and warrants would increase the shares outstanding but would not require an adjustment to income as a result of the conversion. For all periods presented, options, warrants and convertible debt were anti-dilutive and excluded from the net loss per share computation. All share and per share data in the financial statements have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to a reverse split of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to which each five shares of Common Stock then outstanding were converted into one share. The reverse split became effective on March 23, 1998. 5. Acquisition of Subsidiaries On June 30, 1997, the Company acquired, as wholly owned subsidiaries, all of the capital stock of BFI Tire Recyclers of Minnesota, Inc. ("BTM") and BFI Tire Recyclers of Georgia, Inc. ("BTG"), both of which were wholly-owned subsidiaries of Browning-Ferris Industries, Inc. and are in the scrap tire collection and processing business. BTM and BTG were renamed GreenMan Technologies of Minnesota, Inc. ("GMTM") and GreenMan Technologies of Georgia, Inc. ("GMTG"), respectively. The Company agreed to pay $5,331,516 for all of the outstanding capital stock of GMTM and GMTG of which $650,000 was paid as a deposit and the balance of $4,681,516 was financed by a short-term note, at an interest rate of 10% from BFI. The acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the net assets and results of operations of GMTM and GMTG are included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. On November 19, 1997, the Company acquired as a wholly owned subsidiary all of the outstanding common stock of Cryopolymers Inc., (renamed "GMTL") a privately-held crumb rubber producer located in St. Francisville, Louisiana. The purchase price consisted of (1) 153,402 shares of common stock (then valued at $744,000); (2) warrants to purchase 240,000 shares of common stock exercisable commencing April 1, 1998 for period of five years at prices ranging from $15.00 to $35.00 per share; and (3) additional warrants to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock exercisable at $4.85 per share for a period of five years and vesting over a two-year period. The Company has determined the total purchase price to be $775,000 based upon the value of the common stock and a $31,000 value ascribed to the warrants to purchase 260,000 shares of common stock at varying prices. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, the operations of GMTL are included in the consolidated financial statements since November 19, 1997. Goodwill was recorded as the total consideration paid by the Company exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired by $100,000. In August 1998, GMTL's facility was severely damaged by a fire which necessitated the closure of the operation. As a result, the remaining goodwill balance was expensed as of September 30,1998. 9 GreenMan Technologies, Inc. Notes To Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 5. Acquisition of Subsidiaries - (Continued) On September 4, 1998, the Company acquired all of the scrap tire collection and processing assets of United Waste Service, Inc. ("United"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Republic Services, Inc. The Company paid $4,050,000 for the acquired assets in the form of $850,000 in cash and $3,200,000 of preferred stock. The preferred stock is convertible into the Company's common stock beginning in February 2001 based upon the higher of the trailing 15 day average closing bid (as defined) prices prior to the conversion date or the average of the closing bid prices during the period from September 3, 1998 to February 3, 2001. The 320,000 shares of Class B convertible preferred stock have a liquidation preference of $10 per share. Simultaneous with the acquisition, the Company entered into an equipment financing agreement with Heller Financial Inc., which provided $850,000 in cash that was required for the transaction. The acquired assets are located in Lawrenceville, Georgia (reported as an operating division of GMTG) and Batesburg, South Carolina (incorporated as GreenMan Technologies, of South Carolina, Inc. "GMTSC") .The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, the operations are included in the consolidated financial statements since September 4, 1998. Goodwill was recorded as the total consideration paid by the Company exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired by $2,015,000. The following unaudited proforma financial information summarizes the consolidated results of operations of the Company and the subsidiaries as if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of fiscal year ended May 31,1998. The unaudited proforma information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had the purchase been made at the beginning of the fiscal year or of future results of operations of the combined companies. Three Months Ended November 30, 1997 -------------- Revenue $ 4,337,748 Net (Loss) Profit From Continuing Operations (632,304) Net Loss (929,840) Net Loss per Weighted Average Share (0.51) 6. Insurance Claim Receivable on Casualty Loss In August 1998, GMTL's facility was damaged by a fire which necessitated the closure of the operation. The Company does not intend to rebuild in St. Francisville, Louisiana and is still assessing alternatives for replacing equipment and re-establishing crumb rubber capabilities either on its own or through alliances with existing crumb rubber producers and/or crumb rubber users. Under the terms of GMTL's $3,000,000 property insurance policy, the Company anticipates initially receiving approximately $2,050,000. The remaining $950,000 may be paid if the Company can demonstrate, to the insurance company's satisfaction, that the Company has invested $3,000,000 (replacement policy limit) in alternative equipment that satisfies the replacement requirements of the insurance policy. There can be no assurance that this will be the case. In January 1999, the Company submitted a proposal to the insurance company, which would allow GMTL to receive the remaining funds due under the policy. The Company will recognize as income the remaining $950,000 of insurance proceeds when it has received the funds from the insurance company and replaces the damaged property. As a result of the closure of GMTL, management wrote down all GMTL assets to their estimated net realizable value and accrued for all remaining estimated fire related costs at September 30, 1998 resulting in a casualty loss of $1,450,000. 10 GreenMan Technologies, Inc. Notes To Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 6. Insurance Claim Receivable on Casualty Loss - (Continued) The Company also recorded an insurance receivable of $170,226 at December 31, 1998 associated with its business interruption policy. As of December 31, 1998, the Company has received $500,000 of advance payments from the insurance company against the total insured loss. On December 31, 1998, The Company reached an agreement in principal with the lessor of GMTL's cryogenic equipment capital lease obligation whereby the lessor agreed to forgive $500,000 of capital lease obligations in return for a $500,000 payment when the Company receives the additional payment from the insurance company. The lessor agreed to execute a 10 year note payable with the Company for the remaining capital lease balance of $1,600,000. The note will bear interest at 10% per annum and is payable in monthly payments of $21,144 including interest and principal starting in June 1999. The Company has recorded this forgiveness of debt as other income for the period ended September 30, 1998. The Company, however, has subsequently received correspondence from attorneys for the lessor purporting to terminate the lease restructuring. The Company believes that the lessor is bound by its December 31, 1998 agreement. However, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. The parties are currently in negotiations to resolve this dispute. 7.

Notes To Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 9. Discontinued Operations In January 1998, the Company discontinued operations at its Malvern, Arkansas facility (the "Facility"). The Facility was previously engaged in providing injection molding manufacturing services. During the year ended May 31, 1998 and the three months ended November 30, 1997, the Facility's revenues totaled $1,126,627 and $327,760 respectively. Management adopted a formal plan to dispose of the Facility on January 31, 1998. As a result, the Company recorded an estimated loss on disposal of the Facility of $1,100,000 and wrote down the Facility's net assets to their estimated fair market value. The consolidated financial statements of the Company were restated to reflect the net operating results of the Facility as a separate line item for all periods presented. The Company reported a loss from discontinued operations for the year ended May 31, 1998 and the three months ended November 30, 1997 of $660,954 and $297,536 respectively. In July 1998, the Company disposed of the remaining assets and converted $300,000 of the capital lease obligations into a $300,000, 10% convertible note payable. The note is payable in 36 monthly payments of $9,680 and is convertible into common stock at the holder's option, at $1.38 per share. As of December 31, 1998, the Company has not made any payments on the convertible note payable and is currently in default. The Company has classified the entire principal amount of the note as a current liability. At September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1998, the Company has approximately $246,000 and $189,000, respectively of the facility's net obligations remaining which are included in accrued expenses. The Company is currently negotiating payment terms with the remaining creditors. 10. Convertible Notes Payable December 1997 Debentures In December 1997, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements (the "Debenture Agreements") with two investors (the "Debenture Holders") and pursuant thereto, the Company issued debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $1,600,000 (the "Initial Debentures") and immediately exercisable two-year warrants to purchase 32,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.13 per share. Each Initial Debenture bears interest at 8% and is due December 15, 2000. The Initial Debentures are convertible at the election of the holder at any time commencing upon the earlier to occur of (i) the effective date of the registration statement covering the shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures, or (ii) 60 days following the date of issuance at a conversion price equal to the lower of the average closing bid prices on the five trading days preceding the date of the closing of the December Offering or 75% of the average closing bid prices on the five trading days preceding the date of the conversion of the Debentures. The Debentures automatically convert into shares of common stock upon maturity. The Company also issued immediately exercisable two-year warrants to purchase 32,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.13 per share to the placement agent. The net proceeds from the December Offering were approximately $1,350,000 after deducting commissions and expenses of approximately $250,000. The Company used $750,000 of the proceeds to paydown the outstanding loan payable to BFI for the purchase of GMTM and GMTG. The Company recorded a deferred charge of approximately $533,000 associated with the 25% discount from market to be realized upon conversion of the Debentures. The Company also recorded deferred financing costs of $32,000 in connection with the issuance of warrants to purchase 64,000 shares of common stock to the investors and placement agents in accordance with SFAS No. 123. Pursuant to the Debenture Agreements, the Debenture Holders have agreed to purchase up to an additional $2,000,000 in the aggregate of debentures ("Additional Debentures") in multiple tranches during 12 months following the effective date of the registration statement covering the shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures. Each tranche shall be for the purchase of between $75,000 and $175,000 in Additional Debentures and may be completed at the election of the Company subject to certain conditions. Each Additional Debenture shall bear similar terms to the Initial Debentures including the issuance of warrants per Additional Debenture to both the Debenture Holders and the placement agent. The Additional Debentures are convertible at the holder's option, within two days of issuance. Pursuant to the terms of the Debenture Agreements, the Company is obligated to borrow at least $1,000,000 in Additional Debentures or the Company must provide the 12 GreenMan Technologies, Inc. Notes To Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 10. Convertible Notes Payable -(Continued) Debenture Holders and placement agents warrants to purchase an additional 40,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate. As of September 30, 1998, $1,210,260 of the Initial Debentures and $57,955 of accrued interest has been converted into 1,121,212 shares of common stock. During the quarter ended December 1998, the remaining $389,740 of Initial Debentures and $28,457 of accrued interest were converted into 1,395,358 shares of common stock. The Company issued $450,000 of Additional Debentures during the period ended September 30, 1998 and immediately exercisable two-year warrants to purchase 27,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise prices ranging from $1.17 to $2.41 per share. The Company also issued immediately exercisable two year warrants to purchase 27,000 shares of common stock at an exercise prices ranging from $1.17 to $2.41 per share to the placement agent. The Company recorded a deferred charge of approximately $150,000 associated with the 25% discount from market to be realized upon conversion of the Additional Debentures. The Company also recorded deferred financing costs of $54,000 in connection with the issuance of warrants to purchase 54,000 shares of common stock to the investors and placement agents in accordance with SFAS No. 123. During the quarter ended December 31, 1998, $192,500 of Additional Debentures and $15,734 of accrued interest was converted into 731,288 shares of common stock. In January 1999, the remaining $257,500 of Additional Debentures and $7,348 of accrued interest were converted into 833,443 shares of common stock. The deferred charges are being amortized over the estimated life of the Initial and Additional Debentures. Amortization and interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 was $311,383. 11. Capital Leases. In October 1997, the Company entered into a fifteen-year cryogenic equipment lease agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, GMTL was paying $25,500 per month plus an additional $100,000 of bonus rent per year for the first six years of the agreement. The bonus rents were payable in the Company's common stock with the number of shares determined using the closing bid price of the common stock on each December 31. The lease was classified as a capital lease at May 31, 1998 with an equipment value of $2,771,876. As a result of the August 21, 1998 fire at GMTL, the leased cryogenic equipment was destroyed. On December 31, 1998 the Company reached an agreement in principal with the lessor of the capital lease equipment whereby the lessor agreed to forgive $500,000 of capital lease obligations at September 30, 1998 in return for a $500,000 payment when the Company receives additional payments from its insurance company. The lessor agreed to execute a 10-year note payable with the Company for the remaining capital lease balance of $1,600,000. The note will bear interest at 10% per annum and is payable in monthly payments of $21,144 including interest starting in June 1999. The Company, however, has subsequently received correspondence from attorneys for the lessor purporting to terminate the lease restructuring. The Company believes that the lessor is bound by its December 31, 1998 agreement. However, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. The parties are currently in negotiations to resolve this dispute. 12. Letter of Intent On June 1, 1998, the Company signed a letter of intent to acquire all of the capital stock of Mac's Tire Recyclers ("Mac's") a privately-held tire recycler located in Saltillo, Mississippi. The Company has been operating the Mac's facility since June 1, 1998 under a management agreement (the "management agreement") and anticipates completing a purchase and sale agreement during the first quarter of calendar 1999. The management agreement provides for the Company to earn a management fee equal to 90% of the net income of Mac's before depreciation and income taxes. The Company has recognized $36,000 of income under this agreement for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 and accounts receivable from Mac's amounted to $184,200 at December 31, 1998. 13 GreenMan Technologies, Inc. Notes To Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1998 13. Segment Information The Company has two principal operating groups: the recycling operations and the industrial materials operation. The recycling group collects, transports and processes scrap tires into feedstock for tire derived fuel ("TDF"), civil engineering projects and/or for further processing into crumb rubber. The industrial materials group manufactures and markets ceramic, polymer composite and alloy steel materials engineered to resist highly abrasive conditions experienced in material handling systems. Information with respect to industry segments is as follows: At or For the Quarter Ended December 31, 1998 --------------------------------------------- Industrial Recycling Materials Operations Operations Total ---------- ---------- ----- Operating Revenues $ 4,380,951 $ 196,820 $ 4,577,771 Operating Profit (Loss) 647,171 (100,286) 546,875 Net Income (Loss) 528,924 (110,384) 418,539 Identifiable Assets 14,433,341 1,793,819 16,227,160 Depreciation/Amortization 354,589 31,455 386,044 Capital Expenditures 450,883 -- 450,883 At or For the Quarter Ended November 30, 1997 --------------------------------------------- Industrial Recycling Materials Operations Operations Total ---------- ---------- ----- Operating Revenues $ 2,401,342 $ 660,236 $ 3,061,578 Operating Profit (Loss) 318,693 59,788 378,481 Net Income (Loss) 194,380 45,372 239,752 Identifiable Assets 11,550,810 2,343,656 13,894,466 Depreciation/Amortization 247,183 32,233 279,416 Capital Expenditures 4,266,281 -- 4,266,281 The difference between the cumulative net operating profit of the segments and the consolidated net operating profit at December 31, 1998 and November 30, 1997 is due to unallocated corporate overhead charges of $330,125 and $477,600, respectively. The difference between the cumulative net loss of the segments and the consolidated net loss at December 31, 1998 and November 30, 1997 is due to the operating profit differences noted above, corporate interest and financing costs of $309,227 and $447,418, respectively and $297,536 associated with discontinued operations at November 30, 1997. 14. Market for Common Stock On October 29, 1998, the Company received notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("Nasdaq") stating that the Company's common stock would be delisted from NASDAQ if, in the ninety day period ended January 29, 1999, the Company could not demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid price for ten consecutive trading days. As of January 29, 1999, the Company had not regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement but has submitted a written appeal to Nasdaq's Listing and Hearing Review Committee and anticipates that delisting of the Company's common stock will be stayed during the pendency of such appeal. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to maintain Nasdaq listing for the Company's common stock (whether as a result of failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement, the market value requirement or other requirements imposed by Nasdaq). The Company's management anticipates that the absence of the Nasdaq listing for the Company's common stock would have an adverse effect on the market for, and potentially the market price of, the Company's common stock. If the Company's common stock is delisted from Nasdaq, the Company expects that brokers would continue to make a market in the company's common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board. As of February 8, 1999, the Company's stock traded at or above $1.00 for a ten consecutive day period. The Company has notified the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Committee of this fact and has requested acknowledgment of the Company's compliance with minimum bid requirement. 14 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 of the Quarterly Report, and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company's Form 10-KSB/A-1 filed for the transition period ended September 30, 1998. All share and per share data in this Form 10-QSB have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to a reverse split of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to which each five shares of Common Stock then outstanding were converted into one share. The reverse split became effective on March 23, 1998. On June 24,1998, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a change of its fiscal year-end from May 31 of each year to September 30. Accordingly, during the first full year of the newly adopted fiscal period, quarterly results for the periods ended December 1998, March 1999 and June 1999 will be compared to prior fiscal periods ended November 1997, February 1998 and May 1998 respectively. Management believes there are no significant factors which would negatively impact the comparability of the information or trends reflected. Information contained or incorporated by reference in this document contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "would," "can," "could," "intend," "plan," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate" or "continue" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. The following matters constitute cautionary statements identifying important factors with respect to such forward-looking statements, including certain risks and uncertainties, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements. Overview GreenMan Technologies, Inc. (the "Company" or "GreenMan") currently operates two business segments, the tire recycling operations (the "Recycling operations") located in Jackson and Lawrenceville, Georgia; Batesburg, South Carolina; Savage, Minnesota and the industrial material operation located in Birmingham, Alabama. Until closure in January 1998, the Company also operated an injection molding operation (the "Molding operation") located in Malvern, Arkansas. In August 1998, the Company's St. Francisville, Louisiana crumb rubber processing facility was severely damaged by a fire, which necessitated the closure of the operation. On June 30, 1997, the Company acquired as wholly owned subsidiaries, all of the capital stock of BFI Tire Recyclers of Minnesota, Inc. ("BTM") and BFI Tire Recyclers of Georgia, Inc. ("BTG"), both of which were wholly-owned subsidiaries of Browning-Ferris Industries, Inc. and are in the scrap tire collection and processing business. BTM and BTG have been renamed GreenMan Technologies of Minnesota, Inc. ("GMTM") and GreenMan Technologies of Georgia, Inc. ("GMTG"), respectively. On November 19, 1997, the Company acquired as a wholly owned subsidiary, all of the capital stock of Cryopolymers, Inc., ("Cryopolymers") a processor of scrap tire chips into crumb rubber located in St. Francisville, Louisiana. Cryopolymers has been renamed GreenMan Technologies of Louisiana, Inc. ("GMTL"). GMTL ceased processing operations in August 1998 due to a fire and the St. Francisville facility was completely closed in December 1998. In January 1998, the Company closed its Molding operations in order to eliminate continued operating losses. The Molding operations were previously engaged in providing injection molding manufacturing services to customer specifications in the production of plastic and thermoplastic rubber parts for such products as stereo components and speakers, water filters and pumps, plumbing components and automotive accessories. Management believes that third party contract manufacturers could provide the Company with equivalent injection molding capability at equal or less cost on an as-needed basis should there be a necessity to meet market demands in the future. In June 1998, the Company signed a letter of intent to acquire all of the capital stock of Mac's Tire Recyclers ("Mac's") a privately held tire recycler located in Saltillo, Mississippi. In addition to scrap tire processing capacity of more than 4 million tires per year, Mac's also operates a state-permitted disposal site on about 40 acres of land. The Company has been operating the Mac's facility since June 1, 1998 under a management agreement (the "management agreement") and anticipates completing a purchase and sale agreement during the first quarter of calendar 1999. The management agreement provides for the Company to earn a management fee equal to 90% of the net income of Mac's before depreciation and income taxes. 15 On September 4, 1998, the Company acquired all of the scrap tire collection and processing assets of United Waste Service, Inc. ("United"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Republic Services, Inc.. The two recycling operations are located in Lawrenceville, Georgia and Batesburg, South Carolina and currently process over 5 million passenger tire equivalents annually. Lawrenceville operations are currently operating as a division of GMTG but will be eventually consolidated with ongoing Jackson, Georgia operations. The Batesburg operation has been incorporated as GreenMan Technologies of South Carolina, Inc. ("GMTSC"). The Company has not completed the filing of Form 8-K for the United acquisition. As a result, the Company is subject to a fine of up to $100 a day for the period until it completes its filing. The Company is also ineligible to register securities using SEC Form S-3 for a period of twelve months from the date on which it is current with respect to all of its SEC filings. The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, DuraWear Corporation ("DuraWear") located in Birmingham, Alabama manufactures, installs and markets a diverse range of high quality ceramic, polymer composite, and alloy steel materials engineered to resist severe abrasive and corrosive conditions typically encountered in bulk material handling systems. Results of Operations Three Months ended December 31, 1998 Compared to the Three Months ended November 30, 1997 Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 1998 were $4,577,771 as compared to $3,061,578 for the three months ended November 30, 1997. The increase of $1,516,193 or 50% was primarily attributable to the inclusion of revenues from the United acquisition of approximately $1,046,000 as they were acquired on September 4, 1998 and an internal growth in tires processed from existing operations of over 30% as compared to the three months ended November 30, 1997. This increase was offset by a $436,416 decrease in revenues from DuraWear during the three months ended December 31, 1998, compared to the three months ended November 30, 1997. Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 1998 was $1,358,188 or 30% of net sales as compared to $1,002,447 or 33% of net sales for the three months ended November 30, 1997. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased margins at DuraWear. Research and development expenditures were $14,375 for the three months ended December 31, 1998 as compared to $56,735 for the three months ended November 30, 1997. The decrease is due to the fact that during the prior fiscal year ended May 31, 1998, the Company expended a significant effort in the area of crumb rubber research and development. The effort resulted in the June 1998 Federal Highway Administration certification of the Company's crumb rubber modification technology for use in the asphalt industry. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,127,063 for the three months ended December 31, 1998, or 25% of sales as compared to $1,044,831 or 34% of sales, for the three months ended November 30, 1997. The three months ended December 31, 1998 include approximately $98,000 associated with employee termination benefits and the inclusion of the first full quarter of operating expenses of the United acquisition. As a result of the foregoing, the Company had an operating profit of $216,750 for the three months ended December 31, 1998 as compared to an operating loss of $99,119 for three months ended November 30, 1997. Interest and financing costs for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 decreased by $147,833 to $436,603 due to decreased amortization of the financing costs associated with the issuance of convertible debentures. Approximately $285,000 of financing costs were expensed during the period ended December 31, 1998 with $21,111 remaining to be amortized. The Company experienced a net loss of $220,813, or $0.02 per share for the three months ended December 31, 1998 as compared to a net loss of $982,802, or $0.58 per share for the three months ended November 30, 1997. The net loss for the three months ended November 30, 1997 includes a $297,536 loss from discontinued operations associated with the closure of the Company's injection molding operations in January 1998. 16 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources Since its inception, the Company has satisfied its capital requirements through the sale of common and preferred stock and debt securities to investors, loans from affiliated and unaffiliated lenders, the acquisition of machinery and equipment through capital leases and notes payable, and the issuance of common stock and common stock options and warrants in lieu of cash for services rendered. On February 5, 1998, GMTM and GMTG collectively secured a $5.0 million asset-based credit facility (the "Credit Facility") from Heller Financial Inc. ("Heller"). The Credit Facility consisted of : (i) $1,400,000 of three year term notes secured by the real estate of GMTM and GMTG, payable in monthly principal installments of $23,333 plus interest at prime plus 1.75% and a balloon payment of $583,380 due in February 2001; (ii) $1,900,000 of three year term notes secured by the machinery and equipment of GMTM and GMTG, payable in monthly principal installments of $31,667, with interest at prime plus 1.75% and a balloon payment of $791,620 due in February 2001 and (iii) a working capital line of credit of up to $1,700,000 secured by the eligible accounts receivable, as defined, of GMTM and GMTG. The line of credit bears interest at prime plus 1.5%. The Company used the proceeds from the Credit Facility, to repay the balance of $3,906,071, including interest, due under the short-term note payable to BFI for the purchase of GMTM and GMTG. The Company also incurred approximately $322,000 of deferred loan costs associated with securing the Credit Facility. These deferred charges are being amortized over the life of the term notes. On September 4, 1998, Heller provided GMTG an additional $850,000 term note secured by the machinery and equipment of GMTG and payable in monthly principal installments of $14,667, with interest at prime plus 1.75% and a balloon payment of $439,324 due in February 2001. GMTG used the proceeds for the United acquisition. In connection with the loan, Heller reduced the working capital line of credit from $1,700,000 to $1,079,000. In December 1997, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements (the "Debenture Agreements") with two investors (the "Debenture Holders") and pursuant thereto, the Company issued Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $1,600,000 (the "Initial Debentures") and immediately exercisable two-year warrants to purchase 32,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.13 per share. Each Initial Debenture bears interest at 8% and is due December 15, 2000. The Initial Debentures are convertible at the election of the holder at any time commencing upon the earlier to occur of (i) the effective date of the registration statement covering the shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures, or (ii) 60 days following the date of issuance at a conversion price equal to the lower of the average closing bid prices on the five trading days preceding the date of the closing of the December Offering or 75% of the average closing bid prices on the five trading days preceding the date of the conversion of the Debentures. The Debentures automatically convert into shares of common stock upon maturity. The Company also issued immediately exercisable two-year warrants to purchase 32,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.13 per share to the placement agent. The net proceeds from the December Offering were approximately $1,350,000 after deducting commissions and expenses of approximately $250,000. The Company paid $750,000 from the proceeds to BFI towards the outstanding loan payable for the purchase of GMTM and GMTG. Pursuant to the Debenture Agreements, the Debenture Holders agreed to purchase up to an additional $2,000,000 in the aggregate of Debentures ("Additional Debentures") in multiple tranches during 12 months following the effective date of the registration statement covering the shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures. Each tranche shall be for the purchase up to $175,000 or greater if mutually agreed upon in Additional Debentures and may be completed at the election of the Company subject to certain conditions. Each Additional Debenture shall bear similar terms to the Initial Debentures including the issuance of warrants per Additional Debenture to both the Debenture Holders and the placement agent. The Additional Debentures are convertible at the holders option, within two days of issuance. Pursuant to the terms of the Debenture Agreements, the Company is obligated to borrow at least $1,000,000 in Additional Debentures or the Company must provide the Debenture Holders and placement agents warrants to purchase an additional 40,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate. 17 During June and August 1998, the Company issued Additional Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $450,000 and immediately exercisable two-year warrants to purchase 27,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise prices ranging from $2.41 to $1.17 per share. The net proceeds from the Additional Debentures were approximately $371,500 after deducting commissions and expenses of approximately $78,500. United Acquisition On September 4, 1998, the Company acquired all of the scrap tire collection and processing assets of United Waste Service, Inc. ("United"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Republic Services, Inc. The Company paid $4,050,000 for the acquired assets in the form of $850,000 in cash and $3,200,000 of preferred stock. The preferred stock is convertible into the Company's common stock beginning in February 2001 based upon the higher of the trailing 15 day average closing bid (as defined) prices prior to the conversion date or the average of the closing bid prices during the period from September 3, 1998 to February 3, 2001. The 320,000 shares of Class B convertible preferred stock have a liquidation preference of $10 per share. Simultaneous with the acquisition, the Company entered into an equipment financing agreement with Heller Financial Inc., which provided the $850,000 for the transaction. The acquired assets are located in Lawrenceville, Georgia (reported as an operating division of GMTG) and Batesburg, South Carolina (incorporated as GreenMan Technologies, of South Carolina, Inc. "GMTSC") .The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, the operations are included in the consolidated financial statements since September 4, 1998. Goodwill was recorded as the total consideration paid by the Company exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired by $2,015,000. The Company has not completed the filing of Form 8-K for the United acquisition. As a result, the Company is subject to a fine of up to $100 a day for the period until it completes its filing. The Company is also ineligible to register securities using SEC Form S-3 for a period of twelve months form the date on which it is current with respect to all of its SEC filings. Private Offering of Common Stock In October 1998, the Company commenced a private offering of common stock in an effort to raise up to $500,000 in gross proceeds. As of December 31, 1998, the Company sold 1,078,947 shares of uregistered common stock to investors including officers and directors of the Company (the "Investors" ) for approximately $365,000. The Company granted the Investors piggy-back registration rights to register the common stock. The Investors have agreed not to sell or transfer the shares for a period of at least twelve months after issuance. At December 31, 1998 the Company had cash of $533,203, a working capital deficit of $843,344, net capital of $6,065,831 and accumulated losses of $19,576,818. Based on the Company's operating plans management believes that the available working capital together with revenues from operations, the equity financing commitment secured in December 1997, the sale of common stock in October and December 1998, the purchase of equipment through lease financing arrangements and the remaining availability under the Heller Credit Facility, should be sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements through fiscal 1999. The Company expects that additional financing may be required after this time in order to fund continued growth. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing, its ability to maintain its current level of operations could be materially and adversely affected and the Company may be required to adjust its operating plans accordingly. Factors Affecting Future Results The Company's revenue and operating results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a combination of factors, including (i) the ability of the Company' common stock and warrants to remain listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market (ii) the Company's ability to realize all amounts due under the GMTL property insurance policy (including the remaining $950,000); (iii) the Company's ability to reach satisfactory settlement with the remaining creditors of GMTL and the Company's closed injection molding operation; (iv) the Company's ability to reestablish or relocate the operations of GMTL or gain access to sufficient supplies of crumb rubber necessary for its modified asphalt needs; (v); the impact of the Company's ongoing merger and acquisition activities; (vi) ability to obtain raw materials from suppliers on terms acceptable to the Company; and (vii) general economic conditions. The Company's plans and objectives, are based on assumptions that it will be successful in the production or purchase of crumb rubber at a price that will be competitive in the market, that the Company will be successful in receiving additional financing to fund future growth and that there will be no material adverse change in the Company's operations or business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve or sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the Company's business, forward-looking statements made in this report should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved. 18 YEAR 2000 DATE CONVERSION Many computer software systems, as well as certain hardware and equipment utilizing date-sensitive information, were configured to use a two-digit date field, which will preclude them from properly recognizing dates in the year 2000. The inability to properly recognize date-sensitive information in the year 2000 could render systems inoperable or cause them to incorrectly process operational or financial information. The Company has hired GraVoc Associates, Inc. to assess and replace its office PCs that are not year 2000 compatible during calendar 1999. The Company is in the process of obtaining written confirmation that software is year 2000 compatible. The amounts anticipated to be charged to expense related to the Year 2000 computer compliance modifications, have not been and are not expected to be material to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, machinery and equipment often use or are controlled or monitored by electronic devices that contain embedded microchips. Such machinery and equipment could be rendered partially or totally inoperable if embedded microchips are date-sensitive and do not properly recognize the year 2000. The Company is taking steps to resolve year 2000 compliance issues that may be created by customers, suppliers and financial institutions with whom the Company does business. However, there can be no guarantee that the systems of other entities will be converted timely. The Company has initiated a process to (1) identify critical supplier and customer related issues, (2) access the year 2000 readiness of equipment located at all of its operating facilities and (3) determine what contingency plans may be required. At this time, the potential effects in the event that the Company or third parties are unable to resolve year 2000 problems timely are not determinable, however, the Company believes it will be able to resolve its own year 2000 issues. 19 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
