NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS AT MARCH 31, 2000
NOTE 1. UNAUDITED INFORMATION
The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2000 and the
consolidated statements of operations for the three month periods
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 were taken from the Company's books
and records without audit. However, in the opionion of management,
such information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring accruals) which are necessary to properly reflect the
consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2000
and the results of operations for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999.
Certain information and notes included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted, although management believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be achieved for and entire year. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes to financial statements included in the Company's financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Management Discussion
Management is pleased with the progress made by the company during
the first quarter of 2000. The company filed the 10-SB document on
January 4, 2000 and received an initial comments letter from the
SEC on March 17, 2000. The process of responding to comments
continued in the second quarter with the most recent response being
filed on July 24, 2000. A response to this submission is expected
shortly.
The technical support group was enhanced during the first quarter
with the engagement of Bill Klingensmith of Akron Consulting and
Paul Standley of Zephyr Associates to design and execute a testing
program on the de-vulcanization processes to determine the range of
applications that will be suitable for the company's products.
Testing results achieved through the end of June, have indicated
a de-vulcanization level in the RU material in excess of 90% of
cross-links being severed without significant lowering of the
molecular weight of the compound. The technical team has also made
significant strides in analyzing the proprietary reactive compounds
used by the company with respect to locating domestic sources and
supplies for manufacture of the compound in company facilities in
North America.
The marketing team has also had a very active operation in the
first half of 2000 with significant progress in incorporating
the company's AMR/(Orion) and RU/(Sirius) materials in a variety
of existing and new products. The material that can be produced
with AMR includes a wide range of products which have been
typically heat molded using crumb rubber and variety of
polyurethane binders. With AMR/(Orion) material, these products
can be extruded in some cases using up to 100% AMR at a very
competitive price because of elimination of the polyurethane
binders.
Management has focussed in the early part of 2000 on assembling a
team of experienced managers for various facets of the evolving
business. We believe strongly that in addition to the unique and
valuable technology that the intellectual property assets of the
company through the acquisition of experienced management personnel
is critical to the development of the company. Management expects
to conclude agreements in the third quarter that will put in place
an extremely competent management team.
Management believes that in addition to acquiring feed stocks from
current producers, the company must develop its own processing
systems. The company believes that the preparation of
product for market in addition to being marketed through the
manufacture of products, will involve compounding and the company
is evaluating alternatives in the acquisition of development and
rubber compounding capacity.
The Company currently has no revenues as it is in the development
stage. Monthly cash requirements to continue development and the
recruitment of a full operating management team is approximately
$150,000. It is the intention of the Company to complete at least
one fully operating plant by the end of 2000 with a production
capacity of approximately 50 tons per day of reactivated rubber.
The estimated cost of this production faciltity would be between
$1.5 and $2.5 million. The Company intends to obtain funds by
means of private offerings of equity and debt securities or from
bank or other traditional means of financing.
In conclusion, management feels that the consolidation of test
results, development of management personnel, location and
evaluation of processing systems and the review of potential
acquisitions have resulted in the development of a position where
the company is ready to make significant advances in the latter
half of 2000 and early 2001.
