ITEM 6. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
ORGANIZATION
The company was incorporated in Texas in 1986, under the name Eastex
Chemex Corporation, as a retail distributor of truck washing equipment and
chemicals to operators of large trucking fleets. In July 1990, the company
changed its name to Fleetclean Systems, Inc.
Until 1992, the company operated locally, in the Houston, Texas area.
Thereafter, sales efforts were directed to large national trucking companies. In
1994, the company acquired the assets and business accounts of Chemex
Southwestern Inc. and began to manufacture equipment and chemicals for retail
distribution. During 1994, the company opened a distribution warehouse in
Statesville, North Carolina. In January 1996, the company acquired the Kentucky
operations, including a distribution warehouse, and customer accounts of
Fleetcleaning Supply Company, Inc. In June 1998, the distribution warehouse was
moved to Lafayette, Indiana and subsequently to Warsaw, Indiana in June 1999. In
February 1999, the company acquired the assets and ongoing business accounts of
Tri-State Chemex Corp of Providence, Rhode Island. After this transaction, the
company has sales and service warehouses in Hardin, Texas; Warsaw, Indiana;
Statesville, North Carolina; and Providence, Rhode Island. All equipment is
manufactured in Texas, with chemical mixing facilities operating in Texas and
Rhode Island. Distribution and customer service is by company employees who
service specific geographic regions.
As of September 30, 1999, the company had a cash balance of $1,672, and a
working capital deficiency of $168,359. The company has received preliminary
approval of a $1,100,000 Rural Development Loan through Economic Development
Capital to be funded in January 2000 with which it intends to fund its ongoing
operations and refinance its liabilities. Economic Development Capital is a
corporation in the business of mortgage financing with experience in the
processing of loans with governmental agencies and other issuers of long-term
debt. This Rural Development Loan application is being reviewed for approval by
the United States Department of Agriculture. This loan process is anticipated to
culminate before December 31, 1999 and is described in the Economic Development
Capital letter exhibit 6.5 to this filing. There is no assurance that the
company will receive final approval of this Rural Development Loan. If the
company is unable to close on this loan it will be required to curtail
expansion, seek other external financing, or otherwise bring cash flows into
balance. The company believes its current financial situation is due to its
rapid growth, which it believes is important to its ongoing success. The company
believes it can sustain its current operations if it discontinues all growth
expenditures, and uses all cash flows from operations to fund its current
operations.
Additionally, in October 1999, the company borrowed $35,000 from a
non-affiliated shareholder in the form of a note payable at an interest rate of
10% due April 2000. In October 1999, the Company borrowed $100,000 in the form
of a note payable at an interest rate of 10% due April 2000 from Kenneth A.
Phillips for operating purposes.
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
HAND HELD HIGH-PRESSURE TRUCK WASHING SYSTEM
The company manufactures stainless steel pressure washing equipment for
hand washing of trucks. The chemicals are formulated for "two step" washing,
which allows the user to simply spray the chemical on the unit and rinse it off
for complete cleaning without brushing. The chemical run off is neutral and is
accepted in municipal waste water systems nationwide with no special permitting
required. The company knows of no federal regulations which restrict the
company's customers from discharging waste water into municipal sewer systems.
Each municipality has specific requirements for accepting industrial waste
water. There is no assurance that in the future federal or state governments
would not implement new regulations. The company offers several different types
of
1
<PAGE>
chemicals, depending on the surface of the truck and upon the level of cleaning
required.
The company believes its customer base is stable in that the company
provides washing equipment to it's customers "on loan" at no charge, in return
for the ongoing chemical business, provided the customer purchases a pre-set
amount of chemicals each month. Each customer that is provided the equipment
agrees to purchase a minimum of 200 gallons of chemicals exclusively from the
company, or agrees to pay a rental fee of $250. The current prices of chemicals
are approximately $2.60 to $7.00 per gallon. Company personnel install the
equipment at each customer's facility, and provide instruction and training. The
company believes customer turnover has been low due to the quality of the
products and the level of service provided on a regular monthly basis. Some
customers have been serviced continuously for ten years.
As of September 30, 1999, the company serviced 168 customers on a regular
basis, which is an increase of 54 from the 1998 level. The majority of the
increase in the number of customers came as a result of the Tri-State Chemex
acquisition, and many of these are low volume chemical users. Under historical
conditions which continue to apply in other parts of the country these low
volume chemical users would not be serviced by the company. However, due to the
close proximity of these customers to the Rhode Island warehouse, and the fact
that the company does not provide equipment for their uses, as they have
purchased the equipment, the company can continue to service them, and realize
maintenance revenue from these small volume users. While the total number of
customers has increased, the average gallons of chemical usage is lower. The
decline in revenue for 1999 compared to 1998 is due to the sale in 1998 of
$91,000 in drive thru truck wash systems. There were no sales of drive through
truck wash systems in 1999. During the nine month period ending September 30,
1999 total chemical sales were $671,475 compared to $641,247 for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1998.
During 1999, the company has discontinued service to 16 customers. Of
these, the company took the initiative in nine cases to terminate service
because the chemical volume did not meet our requirements. The others terminated
for a variety of reasons, but the company has not been notified that any
termination was due to the failure of the product to perform. During 1999, the
company gained 15 new chemical customers whose chemical volume more than exceeds
the loss of business during this period. Historically, the company estimates
that the chemical business has had annual growth rate of 6% to 7%. Of the 168
customers currently served, 39 have been regular customers for more than 5
years. The company is not dependent on a few major customers for its revenues.
DRIVE THRU TRUCK WASHING SYSTEM
The company has also designed a drive thru truck wash system that washes a
tractor /trailer combination in approximately 90 seconds. Unlike the hand
washing systems, drive thru washing systems are not provided on loan, but are
sold at prices of $55,000 - 75,000. The system cleans without brushing by means
of two chemical spray arches and a rinse arch, each with separate pump systems,
a chemical mixing system, and a master control panel with appropriate controls
and sensors. The system initially dispenses a pre-soak solution, followed with a
detergent solution, which reacts with the pre-soak solution to finish cleaning.
Finally, the truck is rinsed, including an undercarriage rinse, with a rinse
pump dispensing water at a rate of approximately 230 gallons per minute. The
system can handle trucks up to 8 feet 6 inches wide and 13 feet 6 inches high.
To date, the company has sold six drive thru wash systems.
A drive thru truck wash is a mechanical and electronic system which is
sold to a customer, typically not a tank truck carrier, but a dry freight box
carrier to clean the exteriors of trucks and trailers. These systems are sold to
trucking companies which have sufficient number of units to require high volume
production washing. The systems, when sold, are installed at the customer's
maintenance facility, allowing them to clean their own tractor/trailer
combinations on a regular basis. The company sells maintenance and cleaning
chemicals on an ongoing basis to the owners of the drive thru truck wash
systems.
INTERNAL TANK CLEANING OPERATIONS
The company's business has grown primarily within the large truck
industry. As a result the company's management has become familiar with the
characteristics and needs of that industry, which prompted the company to enter
into "internal" tank cleaning in 1999. In March 1999, the company acquired on a
lease purchase contract, a truck terminal/tank wash facility in Hahnville,
Louisiana. After remodeling the facility at a cost of approximately $300,000,
the facility opened in August 1999.
2
<PAGE>
Internal tank cleaning is a necessary process in the functioning of
chemical and food tank truck and trailers. Most chemical or food tankers haul a
variety of products, though there are some unique situations where a trailer is
on a dedicated haul of one specific product. In every case where a trailer is
loading a product different from the previous load, it must be thoroughly
cleaned internally, and in some cases externally. This is done by taking the
trailer to a plant which is equipped with a steam boiler and high pressure
pumps, which are used through a spinner device to inject hot caustic or hot soap
or hot diesel in some cases at high pressure to clean the tank. Rinsing and
drying completes the process.
This internal tank cleaning facility is permitted by the Louisiana
Department of Environmental Quality, and currently holds an EPA permit as a
waste water generator, and an air quality permit from the state of Louisiana.
The company has completed its required permitting and expects no further fees or
permits. The company is subject overall to regulation by the DOT, EPA, and OSHA
and currently believes it has complied with all regulatory requirements. The
company as a whole is permitted by the DOT as a hazardous materials carrier.
These permits have been in place since 1993. The company meets all DOT
requirements and state requirements for operation of trucks interstate hauling
hazardous materials. Different states have different permitting requirements,
which are addressed state by state. The Hahnville facility is permitted by the
EPA as a waste generator, which is not hazardous. Additionally, the company has
acquired a Louisiana DEQ Air Quality Permit, and a boiler permit from the
Louisiana State Fire Marshall.
The company believes it has complied with all applicable environmental
regulations with respect to its operations. However, due to the nature of its
business, the company may become subject to future laws regulating the chemicals
used in its operations.
As a long-term objective the company intends to open additional tank
cleaning facilities. There are no specific plans at this time, nor has funding
been arranged for such expansion. Any new facilities would require EPA and state
permits. The development of new facilities would be limited by the ability to
obtain necessary permits in specific location, or as an alternative, acquisition
of existing facilities which have the needed permits.
The company does not employ any processes or operations which are limited
by availability of materials or suppliers, as all components of the company's
products are commercially available and can be purchased from a number of
sources. The uniqueness of the products marketed is in the formulation of the
chemicals to proprietary formulas, which are strictly controlled. All employees
sign a confidentiality and non-compete agreement, except the tank wash personnel
who have no access to secret information.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The company does not have a formal research and development division.
Company expenditures on research and development has been limited to contracting
with a research chemist for assistance with certain new chemical formulas, at a
total cost of $3,000 in the last two years.
The company regards intellectual property rights as essential to its
success, and relies extensively on trademark rights and confidentiality
agreements, between and amongst its partners, employees and others, to protect
its proprietary interests. The company is the proprietor of a service mark on
the Fleetclean Systems, Inc. mark. The service mark consists of an outline of
the United States with two large trailer trucks placed on top, one stating
"FLEETCLEAN" and the other stating "SYSTEMS, INC." There is no assurance that
the steps taken to protect the company's proprietary rights will be adequate, or
that third parties will not infringe or misappropriate its service marks or
similar proprietary rights. The company does not currently hold any patents on
its chemical formulas or on the components comprising its drive thru washing
system. If the company is unable to utilize any of the foregoing materials due
to intellectual property restraints, its business would be adversely affected.
MARKETING
3
<PAGE>
The company has not entered into extensive advertising programs, but has
grown through direct sales efforts, and referrals from satisfied customers. The
company currently services 155 customers in 24 states. Although the company
believes it competes in a fragmented market with few large competitors, there is
no assurance that the company will not in the future compete against larger
companies with greater financial resources.
EMPLOYEES
The company currently has 20 full-time employees and one part-time
employee. No employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
Management considers relations with its employees to be satisfactory.
COMPETITION
Competition in the chemical distribution business is very fragmented, with
the bulk of the competition as locally owned family businesses. There are
currently 265 commercial tank cleaning facilities in the country as listed in
the March 1999 issue of "Modern Bulk Transporter." Of these, management
estimates 51 are limited to "food grade only," and another 48 are operated by
trucking firms primarily to service their own trucks, leaving only 166
facilities as independent full service commercial tank washes. Of the 166
independent facilities, 25 are owned and operated by Philip Services
Corporation.
Tank trailers are divided into three basic categories, dry bulk (flour,
plastic pellets, sand, etc.); liquid food trailers; and chemical trailers. For
obvious reasons of possible contamination, a food trailer would not normally be
used to haul chemicals, which in many cases would be hazardous. In some
applications certain types of food product trailers can be cleaned in a
general-purpose tank wash facility. However some food product trailers must be
cleaned in special "food grade" wash bays, which requires all stainless steel
equipment and fixtures. The Hahnville facility is a general-purpose chemical
tank wash and does not have a "food grade" bay as the company believes the local
market does not require such a facility. There are certain tank washes which
specialize in "food grade" cleaning only and would not be able to clean a
variety of chemical products without voiding their "food grade" designation.
The majority of the independent tank washes are small family owned
businesses. Some of these family owned businesses are being considered as
potential acquisition candidates with a view to developing a national chain.
However, at the present time, the company has no plans for such acquisitions.
The company believes many of these businesses use antiquated, inefficient
methods, and the company believes that an opportunity exists for it to become a
significant service provider nationwide by acquiring certain carefully selected
facilities, while at the same time building new modern facilities in key
markets. The company will require external financing to execute its acquisition
strategy. At this time, the company has no commitments for such financing, and
can provide no assurance that such financing will be available on favorable
terms, if at all.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
On September 30, 1999 the company had a net cash balance of $1,672, and a
net working capital deficiency of $168,359 as compared with net working capital
of $18,401 on September 30, 1998. The working capital deficiency for 1999 is
attributable to increases in short term debt. The company intends to refinance
all current liabilities and certain long-term debt from the proceeds of a
twenty-three year Rural Development Loan of $1,100,000 at an interest rate of
prime plus two percent. The company received preliminary approval of the loan
from Economic Development Capital and its application is being processed with
the federal government in order to obtain a loan guaranty and the funding date
is to occur in January 2000. There is no assurance that the company will receive
final loan guaranty from the federal government. If the company is able to
4
<PAGE>
complete the loan transaction discussed above, it believes that it should be
able to continue its current operations for the foreseeable future if it
curtails its expansion.
Most of the company's growth in the chemical distribution business comes
by referrals from existing customers, or by existing customers expanding their
operations and asking the company to expand service to new locations. Management
believes that meeting these expansion opportunities is vital to the continued
growth and stability of the customer base. The company has never obtained
adequate outside capital to fund growth and expansion. The company can operate
on a sustained basis with current cash flow from operations, but any growth or
expansion must be funded from external sources in order to remain cash flow
positive. In order to continue to grow, the company has made a choice of slow
growth from within, financed by current operations, which have produced losses.
In the last quarter of 1998 and first quarter of 1999 the company raised a total
of $744,858 from sales of securities. A substantial portion was used to cover
legal and accounting expenses, and the balance was used to cover the cost of
acquiring Tri-State Chemex, Inc., and the tank wash facility in Hahnville, plus
some of the renovation cost at Hahnville. Growing internally with current
operating capital has kept the company in a very tight cash situation.
If the company is unable to close on the $1,100,000 loan it will be
required to curtail its expansion, seek other external financing, or otherwise
bring cash flows into balance. The company believes its current financial
situation is due to its rapid growth, which it believes is important to its
ongoing success, but which the company is unable to adequately finance
internally. The company believes it can sustain its current operations if it
discontinues all growth expenditures, and uses all cash flows from operations to
fund its current operations. If the company is unable to close the loan, it will
seek additional equity or debt financing in order to continue its growth.
However, there is no assurance that the company will be successful in obtaining
such financing on favorable terms, if at all.

The following summary table presents comparative cash flows of the Company
for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998:
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
Net cash provided from operations ... $ 66,073 $ 57,825
Net cash used in investing activities $(448,589) $ (80,863)
Net cash provided by financing
activities .......................... $ 329,805 $ 23,479
Cash provided from operating activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 was $66,073 as
5
<PAGE>
compared to $57,825 for the same period in 1998. The primary components of the
cash increase were a reduction in the cost of chemicals purchased and the
emphasis of higher gross profit sales products to tank washing facilities. Cash
used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was
$448,589 as compared to $80,863 in the same period 1998. The increase is due
primarily to the acquisition of Tri-State Chemex, Inc. ($100,000) and equipment
purchased for the Hahnville Tank Wash ($243,429).
The increase of cash from financing activities was from a combination of
additional bank debt, financing of equipment, sale of common stock, and issuance
of convertible debt.
On September 30, 1999 the company had a net cash balance of $ 1,672, and a
net working capital of deficiency of $(168,359) as compared with net working
capital of $18,401 on September 30, 1998. The working capital deficiency for
1999 is attributable to increases in short term debt. The company intends to
refinance all current liabilities and certain long-term debt from the proceeds
of the $1,100,000 loan discussed above.
The increase in assets from $825,279 on September 30, 1998 to $2,024,784
on September 30, 1999 is principally due to the acquisition of the assets of
Tri-State Chemex, Inc, and the purchase of the Hahnville tank wash facility,
along with the equipment improvements at that facility. Transportation equipment
increased $102,118 due to the purchase of two commercial trucks in October 1998.
During 1999, the company financed its acquisitions through short-term bank
debt, long-term equipment financing, issuance of convertible debt, and a sixty
month lease purchase for the Louisiana tank wash facility. The tank wash
acquisition was accounted for as a $450,000 capital lease and, accordingly, a
significant capital lease obligation was recorded. Footnote 3 to the financial
statements provides for the disclosure of the details of this capital lease
transaction. Footnote 2 to the financial statements provides for the disclosure
of the details of the company's borrowings.
The increase in shareholders' equity for the nine months ended September
30, 1999 is due to the sale of common stock for $100,000 (400,000 shares), the
acquisition of the assets of Tri-State Chemex, Inc. for $150,000 (300,000
shares), the payment of salaries of $62,000 (775,000 shares) and professional
fees of $64,196 (802,455 shares), and debt conversion of $150,000 (1,493,659
shares). The company valued the shares issued for salaries and professional fees
at the bid price on the day of issuance which was $0.08 per share. Shareholders'
equity was reduced by syndication costs of $92,187 related to the sale of common
stock and fund raising activities. The increase in shareholders' equity for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 is due to the sale of common stock for
$80,000 (242,858 shares), the payment of salaries and professional fees of
$74,500 (265,000 shares), and debt conversion of $62,500 (62,500 shares).
Shareholders' equity was reduced by syndication costs of $187,309 related to the
sale of common stock and fund raising activities.
The company recognizes income at the point of sale. The company's revenues
decreased by $11,558 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 as
compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 1998. During the 2nd
quarter of 1998 the company sold and installed two drive thru truck wash systems
which accounted for the variance in revenues reported for the 1998 and 1999
periods. For the nine months period ended September 30, 1999 there were no drive
thru sales. Chemical sales to new customers increased three percent during the
nine month period ended September 30, 1999, as a result of an increase in
overall customers. However, the lack of drive thru sales was not offset by the
increase in overall chemical sales.
Due to the difference in the sales product mix, cost of revenues, as a
percentage of sales, improved by two percent during the nine month period ended
September 30, 1999 as compared to the nine month period ended September 30,
1998.
During the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 operating expenses
totaled $872,008 as compared to $628,900 for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1998, an increase of $243,108. Of the increased amount, $126,196
is attributed to the non-cash payment of salaries and professional fees. The
balance of the increase is the result of start up expenses at the Hahnville Tank
Wash and increased insurance costs. The primary expense in Hahnville was
salaries before the facility became revenue producing. The Hahnville Tank Wash
employees seven full time persons and operates fifteen hours a day, six days a
week.

<PAGE>
During the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 the company incurred
a net loss from operations of $255,248 as compared with a net loss of $12,387
for the nine month period ended September 30,1998. The primary factors
contributing to the loss in 1999 were the non-cash salary and professional fees
charge of $62,000 and $64,196 respectively. In addition, the costs related to
raising capital, legal, and accounting have increased. Costs related to the
acquisition of the assets and business accounts of Tri-State Chemex, Inc. were
higher than anticipated due to the addition of two new employees, and unforeseen
difficulty in converting that operation into the operating methods of the
company. The start up of Hahnville produced an operating loss of $59,000 through
September 30, 1999 and both interest expense and depreciation expenses increased
due to the purchase and financing of new equipment for Hahnville.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997.
The following table sets forth certain operating information regarding the
company for the years ending December 31, 1998, and 1997:

Revenues ................................. $1,028,952 $832,729
Cost of Revenues ......................... 224,627 208,539
Income from Operations ................... 4,938 29,010
The following summary presents comparative cash flows of the company for
the years ending December 31, 1998 and 1997:
1998 1997
--------- ---------
Net cash provided from operations ............. $ 182,812 $ 94,667
Net cash used for investing activities......... (266,262 (200,488)
Net cash provided by financing activities...... 137,633 105,821
Cash provided from operating activities for the fiscal year ended December
31,1998 was $182,812 as compared to $94,667 for the same period 1997. Cash from
operations in 1998 is due to increased sales activities and related collections,
reduced expenditures for fund raising activities and improved management of
inventory purchasing. Additionally, in 1998 there were sales of drive through
truck wash systems totaling $91,400 and $-0- in 1997.
Cash used in investing activities in 1998 was $266,262 as compared with
$200,488 for the same period in 1997. The increase is principally related to the
purchase of washing equipment to satisfying the increase in new customers and
sales activities. The cost of equipment in service increased from $297,209 in
1997 to $381,969 in 1998.
The increase of cash from financing activities is principally due to the
sale of common stock for $158,012.
On December 31, 1998 the company had a net cash balance of $54,383 and a
net working capital of $94,002 as compared with a net working capital deficiency
of $107,468 on December 31, 1997. The improvement in working capital is due to
the conversion of $62,500 of short-debt to equity, extending the repayment terms
of short-term debt, and the sale of common stock. Additionally, the increase in
sales in 1998 resulted in accounts receivable increasing from $105,820 on
December 31,1997 to $131,888 on December 31, 1998.
The increase in assets from $818,512 on December 31, 1997 to $993,332 on
December 31, 1998 is due primarily to the purchase of two commercial trucks in
October 1998 for $102,118.
The increase in shareholders' equity for the year ended December 31, 1998
is due to the exercise of warrants by the president of the company for $30,000
(100,000 shares), the conversion of debt to equity for $62,500 (62,500 shares),
issuance of shares for consulting services rendered $74,500 (265,000 shares),
and sales of common stock $181,300 (344,858 shares). Shareholders equity was
reduced by syndication costs of $190,288 related to the sale of common stock and
fund raising activities.
The company's revenues increased from $832,729 in 1997 to $1,028,952 in
1998, a net increase of $196,223. During 1998 and 1997, the company sold and
installed drive thru truck washes totaling $91,400 and $0, respectively.
Additionally, chemical sales increased from $745,444 in 1997 to $853,821 in
1998.
Cost of sales increased from $208,539 in 1997 to $224,627 in 1998, which
is due to the increased sales activities.

During the year ended December 31,1998, operating expenses totaled
$799,387 as compared to $595,180 for the year ended December 31,1997. The
increase of $109,000 is attributed to the hiring of three new employees for
servicing customers on a nationwide basis. Travel and auto expenses accounted
for an additional $75,000 due to the cost of training new employees in the field
and expansion into new market areas. For the year ended December 31, 1998,
interest expense and depreciation expense increased by $10,000 over the 1997
amounts. These increases are a result of additional borrowings and an increased
property and equipment base for depreciation purposes.
For the year ended December 31, 1998, the company's operating income was
$4,938 as compared to $29,010 for the year ended December 31, 1997. The decrease
in profits is due to increased operating expenses incurred by hiring and
training new employees in field service and distribution in the Southeastern and
Midwestern states.
PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in
connection with transactions in "penny stocks." Penny stocks generally are
equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require
a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt
from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by
the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of
risks in the penny stock market. These disclosure requirements may have the
effect of reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market for a
stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The company's common stock
may be subject to the penny stock rules, and accordingly, investors in the
company's common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares in the future,
if at all.

PART II
ITEM 1. MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND
RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
The company's common stock trades under the symbol "FLSY" on the OTC
Electronic Bulletin Board. The market for the common stock on the OTC Electronic
Bulletin Board is limited, sporadic, and highly volatile. The following table
sets forth the high and low bid prices per share of the common stock since the
common stock began trading on September 9, 1998, as reported by the OTC
Electronic Bulletin Board. These prices reflect inter-dealer prices, without
retail mark-ups, mark-downs or commissions, and may not necessarily represent
actual transactions.

First Quarter ............................. .6875 .25
Second Quarter ............................ .625 .11
Third Quarter ............................. .27 .085
On November 10, 1999, the last bid price of the Common Stock as reported
by the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board was $.06. The company believes that as of
September 7, 1999, there were approximately 375 record owners of its common
stock. It is the present policy of the company not to pay cash dividends and to
retain future earnings to support the company's growth. Any payment of cash
dividends in the future will be dependent upon the amount of funds legally
available therefor, the company's earnings, financial condition, capital
requirements and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant.
The company has not paid any dividends during the last two fiscal years and does
not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
ITEM 2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The company is the plaintiff in a suit in which, Leroy Sievers, a former
employee is being sued for violating a covenant not to compete. The suit was
filed August 1996 in the 75th district court in Liberty County, Texas. In 1997,
the suit was expanded to a co-conspirator who was assisting the defendant. In
April 1997, a temporary injunction was ordered to prevent the defendants from
competing further. The injunction is still in effect. The company is seeking
damages, reimbursement of expenses, and enforcement of the non-compete
agreement. In August 1999, the co-conspirator settled with the company for
$17,500 cash and a four year non-compete agreement, plus cooperation with the
company in pursuing it's claim against the original defendant. In 1996, the
defendant countersued the company for wrongful termination and for unspecified
damages.
The company is the defendant in a suit filed in the 29th Judicial District
Court, St. Charles Parish, State of Louisiana. The company's attorney has filed
a motion to remove the case to United States District Court, Eastern District of
Louisiana. The plaintiff, Timothy Litel, alleges that the company entered into a
verbal agreement for a partnership in the Hahnville, Louisiana tank wash. The
plaintiff has alleged fraud and breach of contract, with
II - 1
<PAGE>
damages unspecified. The company has denied the allegations, and intends to
vigorously defend the case.
ITEM 3. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
None
ITEM 4. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
The following information sets forth certain information for all
securities the company sold within the past three years, without registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"). There were no
underwriters in any of these transactions, nor were any sales commissions paid
thereon.
1. In October 1997, the company issued Kenneth A. Phillips a warrant to
purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.30 per
share, expiring April 30, 1998, which were exercised in March 1998. In
October 1997, the company issued Kenneth A. Phillips a warrant to purchase
100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share,
expiring December 31, 2001. The company believes the transactions were
exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act,
as Mr. Phillips is an officer and director of the company and an
accredited investor, and since the transaction was non-recurring and
privately negotiated.
2. During the last quarter of 1997, the company issued five convertible
notes, three notes of $25,000 each and two notes of $12,500 each, to five
non-affiliates in exchange for loans in the aggregate amount of $100,000.
The principal amount and accrued interest on each note may be converted
into shares at the rate of $1.00 of principal amount per share. In
addition, the note holders received warrants to purchase an aggregate of
100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share,
expiring September 30, 2000. In September 1998, the company issued an
aggregate of 62,500 shares of common stock to three individuals who
exercised their conversion option. The company believes the securities
issued and the underlying shares of common stock issued were exempt from
registration pursuant to Rule 504 of the Securities Act.
3. In July 1997, the company issued an aggregate of 549,407 shares to Mega
Holding Corporation, a New York corporation, which in January 1998,
distributed an aggregate of 300,000 shares to its shareholders and an
aggregate of 145,000 shares to three individuals and five entities,
retaining 104,400 shares. The company valued these shares at $60,434 or
$.11 per share. The company believes the securities issued were exempt
from registration pursuant to Rule 504 of the Securities Act.
4. In September 1998, the company issued 25,000 shares of stock to A&R
Transport, Inc. ("A&R") as partial consideration for A&R entering into an
agreement with the company, whereby the company is the sole and exclusive
supplier of cleaning chemicals to A&R. In September 1998, the company
issued an aggregate of 240,000 shares of stock to two non-affiliated
corporations and two non-affiliated attorneys for financial consulting and
legal services rendered. The company has valued these shares at $74,500 or
$.28 per share. In December 1998, the company issued 344,858 shares to six
non-affiliated entities for cash consideration of $181,300, or an average
of $.53 per share. The company believes the above securities issued were
exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 504 of the Securities Act.
5. In February 1999, the company issued to one non-affiliate an 8% Series A
Senior Subordinated Convertible Redeemable Debenture in the principal
amount of $200,000. The conversion price for each conversion share is 75%
of the closing bid price of the common stock as reported on the OTC
Bulletin Board for the trading day which immediately precedes the date of
receipt by the company of the conversion
II - 2
<PAGE>
notice. As of the date of this filing, 1,297,168 shares have been issued
as conversion of $136,000 of the principal amount, or an average of $.1274
per share. In February 1999, the company issued 200,000 shares to one
non-affiliate for cash consideration of $50,000. In March 1999, the
company issued an aggregate of 200,000 shares and warrants exercisable at
$.50 per share until September 30, 2000 to two non-affiliates for $50,000.
The company believes the securities issued above were exempt from
registration pursuant to Rule 504 of the Securities Act.
6. In June 1999, the company issued a two-year option to purchase 400,000
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.15 per share, provided
the company's bid price of its common stock exceeds $1.00, to an
accredited investor. The investor received the option for services
rendered to the company in connection with investor relations services. In
July 1999, the company issued an aggregate of 1,577,455 shares of common
stock to 17 accredited investors for services rendered, including an
aggregate of 825,000 shares to its officers and directors. The company
believes the above transactions were exempt from registration pursuant to
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as the recipients were all accredited
investors, and since the transactions were non-recurring and privately
negotiated.
ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Texas law authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal
liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of directors' fiduciary duty of care. The amended and
restated by-laws of the company limit the liability of directors of the company
(in their capacity as directors but not in their capacity as officers) to the
company or its stockholders to the fullest extent permitted by Texas law.
Specifically, directors of the company will not be personally liable for
monetary damages for breach of a director's fiduciary duty as a director, except
for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith that
constitute a breach of duty of the director to the company or an act or omission
which involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for
an act or omission for which the liability of a director is expressly provided
by an applicable statute, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director
received an improper personal benefit, whether the benefit resulted from an
action taken within the scope of the director's office. Section 2.41 of the
Texas Business Corporation Act relates to directors' liability for unlawful
dividends and stock issuances.
The inclusion of this provision in the by-laws may have the effect of
reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors, and may
discourage or deter stockholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against
directors for breach of their duty of care, even though such an action, if
successful, might otherwise have benefitted the company and its stockholders.
The company's amended by-laws provide for the indemnification of its
executive officers and directors, and the advancement to them of expenses in
connection with any proceedings and claims, to the fullest extent permitted by
the Texas Business Corporation Act. The amended by-laws include related
provisions meant to facilitate the indemnities' receipt of such benefits. These
provisions cover, among other things: (i) specification of the method of
determining entitlement to indemnification and the selection of independent
counsel that will in some cases make such determination, (ii) specification of
certain time periods by which certain payments or determinations must be made
and actions must be taken, and (iii) the establishment of certain presumptions
in favor of an indemnitee. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
controlling the company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the company has
been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Fleetclean Systems, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Fleetclean Systems, Inc. as
of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the related statements of income and retained
earnings, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31,
1998, 1997, and 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Fleetclean Systems, Inc. at
December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the results of its operations, stockholders'
equity, and its cash flow for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

FLEETCLEAN SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Fleetclean Systems, Inc. (the Company) incorporated as a Texas corporation
and commenced business on June 1, 1986. The Company is engaged in the
business of sales and service of truck washing equipment to the trucking
industry (large fleet operations). In 1994 the Company expanded its
operations to include the manufacture of equipment and blending of washing
materials with its own chemical formulas.
A) INVENTORY
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
by using the average cost method. Inventories consist primarily of parts
and chemicals.
B) PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Prior to January 1, 1996, depreciation was
calculated using the modified accelerated cost recovery system as provided
by the tax reform act of 1986 for property and equipment acquired after
December 31, 1986 for both book and tax purposes. Commencing January 1,
1996, the company continues to use the modified accelerated method above
for income tax purposes, however, it calculates depreciation using the
straight-line method for book purposes. The recovery classifications are
as follows:
Demonstration Equipment 7 years
Furniture and Fixtures 7 years
Machinery and Equipment 7 years
Leasehold Improvements life of lease
Trucks 5 years
All repair and maintenance costs are charged against income in the period
incurred. Any repairs that increase the life of the asset are capitalized
and depreciated over the adjusted life of the asset.
C) INCOME TAXES
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (FASB) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires a
change from the deferral method to assets and liability method of
accounting for income taxes. Timing differences exist between book income
and tax income that primarily relates to depreciation.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (continued)
D) ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Management has elected to write-off uncollectable receivables to bad debt
expense at the time they are identified. No accounts receivables were
written off during 1998.
E) REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from the sale of products is recorded when the merchandise is
shipped to customers. Revenues from services and repairs are recorded as
the related services are performed.
F) NET EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Net earnings per common share are shown as both basic and diluted. Basic
earnings per share are computed by dividing net income less and preferred
stock dividends (if applicable) by the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share are
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding plus any dilutive common stock equivalents.
DECEMBER 31, 1998 DECEMBER 31, 1997
----------------- -----------------
Weighted Average Number of Common
Shares Outstanding Including:
Basic Common Shares 4,229,679 3,460,776
Dilutive Common Shares 4,492,179 3,860,776
G) USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumption that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent asset and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
H) ADVERTISING
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses was
$3,861, $761, and $799 during the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and
1996, respectively.

I) ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
During August of 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants (AICPA) issued Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-5 "Reporting
on the Costs of Start-Up Activities". This statement requires all costs
related to a company's start-up activities be expensed during the period
incurred rather than capitalized and amortized over a period of time.
This pronouncement becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1998. The Company has not elected early application of this
new statement.

NOTE 5 - WARRANTS:
In October 1997, the Board of Directors adopted a stock option plan under
which 100,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance to
the president of the Company at a purchase price of $ .30 per share. Such
issuance shall lapse if not exercised on or before May 1, 1998. During
1998, these options were exercised.
At the end of 1997, the Company received an aggregate of $100,000 in the
form of five convertible notes bearing 9% interest and due in fifteen
months (See Note 3). Holders of these notes may convert their notes, in
whole or part, into the Company's common stock at the rate of one share
for every one dollar owed. In conjunction with the issuance of such
indebtedness, the Company has agreed to issue such investors $2.00
Warrants to purchase 100,000 additional shares of common stock.
The Company has issued and outstanding the following warrants which have
not yet been exercised at December 31, 1998:
25,000 stock purchase warrants expiring June 16, 1999. These
warrants are subject to the marketability of the Company's common
stock. The warrants are to purchase fully paid and non-assessable
shares of the common stock, par value $.01 per share at a purchase
price of $1.00 per share. Such transactions may occur in whole or in
part, but must never amount to less than 100 shares.

NOTE 5 - WARRANTS:
100,000 stock purchase warrants expiring December 2001. These
warrants are subject to the ability of the Company to become a
public company and future marketability of the common stock. The
warrants are to purchase fully paid and non-assessable shares of the
common stock, par value $.01 per share at a purchase price of $1.00
per share. Such transactions may occur in whole or in part, but must
never amount to less than 100 shares.
25,000; 25,000; 25,000; 12,500; and 12,500 stock purchase warrants
that expire September 30, 2000. These warrants are subject to the
ability of the Company to become a public company and future
marketability of the common stock. The warrants are to purchase
fully paid and non-assessable shares of the common stock, par value
$.01 per share at a purchase price of $2.00 per share. Such
transactions may occur in whole or in part, but must never amount to
less than 100 shares.
NOTE 6 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
Intangible assets consist of goodwill and organization costs. The goodwill
was created during 1994 with an acquisition whereas organization costs
were primarily incurred during the reorganization of the Company's main
office. Goodwill and organization costs are both amortized using the
straight-line method for a period of fifteen (15) years. Accumulated
amortization at December 31, 1998 and 1997 was $2,283 and $ 1,129,
respectively.
According to the AICPA's SOP 98-5 (See Note 1), the Company will expense
any organization costs incurred subsequent to December 31, 1998 as
incurred.
NOTE 7 - DEFERRED PUBLIC OFFERING COSTS:
Deferred public offering costs consist of those expenditures incurred
during an attempt to raise capital by selling the Company's common stock
under Regulation D, Rule 504 of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(see Note 10). Upon successful completion of this offering, all expenses
incurred will be reclassified to additional paid in capital and treated as
syndication costs. During 1998, with the 504 stock offering substantially
complete, the Company has reclassified all deferred public offering costs
as syndication costs that reduced additional paid in capital.
NOTE 8 - LITIGATION:
The Company is the plaintiff in a suit in which the defendant (a former
employee) is being sued for violating a covenant not to compete.
Management is seeking damages and reimbursement of legal fees and is
confident that the Company will prevail in this case.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Tri-State Chemex, Inc. (the Company), incorporated as a Rhode Island
corporation and commenced operations on July 9, 1987. The Company is
engaged in the business of sales and service of truck washing
equipment to the trucking industry (large fleet operations).
A) Cash and Cash Equivalents
At December 31, 1998, the Company has $735 in cash located in
non-interest bearing accounts.
B) Accounts Receivable
The Company reserves for uncollectable accounts through an allowance
for doubtful accounts.
C) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is calculated by using the straight-line
method for financial reporting purposes. The recovery
classifications for these assets are listed as follows:
YEARS
-----
COMPUTER EQUIPMENT 3
OFFICE EQUIPMENT 3
FURNITURE AND FIXTURES 7
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against income
as incurred and major improvements are capitalized.
D) Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed under the provision of
Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue code. Under those provisions,
the Company does not pay federal corporate income taxes on its
taxable income and is not allowed a net operating loss carryover or
carry-back as a deduction. Instead, the stockholders are liable for
individual federal income taxes on their respective shares of income
and include their respective shares of the Company's net operating
loss on their individual income tax returns.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
NOTE 1 -BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (continued)
E) Impairment of Long Lived and Identifiable Intangible Assets
The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets and
identifiable intangible assets for potential impairment on an
ongoing basis. An impairment loss would be deemed necessary when the
estimated non-discounted future cash flows are less than the
carrying net amount of the asset. If an asset deemed to be impaired,
the asset's recorded value would be reduced to fair market value. In
determining the amount of the charge to be recorded, the following
methods would be utilized to determine fair value:
1) Quoted market prices in active markets.
2) Estimate based on prices of similar assets.
3) Estimate based on valuation techniques.
At December 31, 1998, no impairment existed.
F) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent asset and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G) Comprehensive Income
There were no items of other comprehensive income in 1998, and,
thus, net income is equal to comprehensive income.
NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE:
Accounts receivable consists of the following:
December 31,
1998
--------
Accounts Receivable ........... $ 41,157
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts (20,653)

the nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998:

Net cash provided by financing activities ... $ 329,805 $ 23,479
--------- ---------
</TABLE>
Cash provided from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 was $66,073 as compared to $57,825 for the same period 1998. The primary
components of the cash increase were a reduction in the cost of chemicals
purchased and the emphasis of higher gross profit sales products to tank washing
facilities.
Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
was $448,589 as compared to $80,863 in the same period 1998. The increase is
due primarily to the acquisition of Tri-State Chemex, Inc. ($100,000) and
equipment purchased for the Hahnville Tank Wash ($243,429).
The increase of cash from financing activities was from a combination of
additional bank debt, financing of equipment, sale of common stock, and issuance
of convertible debt.
On September 30, 1999 the company had a net cash balance of $ 1,672, and a net
working capital of deficiency of $(168,359) as compared with net working capital
of $18,401 on September 30, 1998. The working capital deficiency for 1999 is
attributable to increases in short term debt. The Company intends to refinance
all current liabilities and certain long-term debt from the proceeds of a
twenty-three year Rural Development Loan of $1,100,000. The application for this
long-term debt is being processed with the federal government and the funding
date is to occur in January 2000. Additionally, cash flow from the Hahnville
tank wash has commenced operations and is selling tank wash and light
maintenance services to the trucking industry.
The increase in assets from $825,279 on September 30, 1998 to $2,024,784 on
September 30, 1999 is principally due to the acquisition of the assets of
Tri-State Chemex, Inc, and the purchase of the Hahnville tank wash facility,
along with the equipment improvements at that facility. Transportation equipment
increased $102,118 due to the purchase of two commercial trucks in October,
1998.
During 1999, the Company financed its acquisitions through short-term bank debt,
long-term equipment financing, issuance of convertible debt and a sixty month
lease purchase for the Louisiana tank wash facility. The tank wash acquisition
was accounted for as a $450,000 capital lease and, accordingly, a significant
capital lease obligation was recorded. Footnote 3 to these financial statements
provides for the disclosure of the details of this capital lease transaction.
Footnote 2 to these financial statements provides for the disclosure of the
details of the Company's borrowings.
The increase in shareholders' equity for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 is due to the sale of common stock for $100,000(400,000 shares), the
acquisition of the assets of Tri-State Chemex, Inc. for $150,000(300,000
shares), the payment of salaries of $62,000(775,000 shares) and professional
fees of $64,196(802,455 shares), and debt conversion of $150,000(1,493,659
shares). The Company valued the shares issued for salaries and professional fees
at the bid price on the day of issuance which was $.08 per share. Shareholders'
equity was reduced by syndication costs of $92,187 related to the sale of common
stock and fund raising activities. The increase in shareholders' equity for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 is due to the sale of common stock for
$80,000(242,858 shares), the payment of salaries and professional fees of
$74,500(265,000 shares), and debt conversion of $62,500(62,500 shares).
Shareholders' equity was reduced by syndication costs of $187,309 related to the
sale of common stock and fund raising activities.

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998
Note 5. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS(CONTINUED)
The Company's revenues decreased by $11,558 for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1999 as compared to the nine month period ended September 30,
1998. During the 2nd quarter of 1998 the company sold and installed two drive
through truck wash systems which accounted for the variance in revenues reported
for the 1998 and 1999 periods. For the nine months period ended September 30,
1999 there were no drive through sales. Chemical sales to new customers
increased three percent during the nine month period ended September 30, 1999.
Due to the difference in the sales product mix, cost of revenues, as a
percentage of sales, improved by two percent during the nine month period ended
September 30, 1999 as compared to the nine month period ended September 30,
1998.
During the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 operating expenses totaled
$872,008 as compared to $628,900 for the nine month period ended September 30,
1998, an increase of $243,108. Of the increased amount, $126,196 is attributed
to the non-cash payment of salaries and professional fees. The balance of the
increase is the result of start up expenses at the Hahnville Tank Wash and
increase insurance costs. The primary expense in Hahnville was salaries before
the facility became revenue producing. The Hahnville Tank Wash employs seven
full time persons and operates fifteen hours a day, six days a week.
During the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 the company incurred a net
loss from operations of $255,248 as compared with a net loss of $12,387 for the
nine month period ended September 30,1998. The primary factors contributing to
the loss in 1999 were the non-cash salary and professional fees charge of
$62,000 and $64,196 respectively. The costs related to raising capital, legal
and accounting continue to increase. Costs related to the acquisition of the
assets and business accounts of Tri-State Chemex, Inc. were higher than
anticipated due to the addition of two new employees, and unforeseen difficulty
in converting that operation into the operating methods of the company. The
start up of Hahnville produced an operating loss of $59,000 through September
30, 1999 and both interest expense and depreciation expenses increased due to
the purchase and financing of new equipment for Hahnville.
The following table sets forth certain operating information regarding the
Company for the years ending December 31, 1998, and 1997:
1998 1997

Net cash used for investing activities ..... (266,262) (200,488)

Cash provided from operating activities for the fiscal year ended December
31,1998 was $182,812 as compared to $94,667 for the same period 1997. Cash from
operations in 1998 is due to increased sales activities and related collections,
reduced expenditures for fund raising activities and improved management of
inventory purchasing. Additionally, in 1998 there were sales of drive through
truck wash systems totaling $91,400 and $-0- in 1997.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(continued)
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998
Note 5. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS(CONTINUED)
Cash used in investing activities in 1998 was $266,262 as compared with $200,488
for the same period in 1997. The increase is principally related to the purchase
of washing equipment to satisfying the increase in new customers and sales
activities. The cost of equipment in service increased from $297,209 in 1997 to
$381,969 in 1998.
The increase of cash from financing activities is principally due to the sale of
common stock for $158,012.
On December 31, 1998 the Company had a net cash balance of $54,383 and a net
working capital of $94,002 as compared with a net working capital deficiency of
$107,468 on December 31, 1997. The improvement in working capital is due to the
conversion of $62,500 of short-debt to equity, extending the repayment terms of
short-term debt, and the sale of common stock. Additionally, the increase in
sales in 1998 resulted in accounts receivable increasing from $105,820 on
December 31,1997 to $131,888 on December 31, 1998.
The increase in assets from $818,512 on December 31, 1997 to $993,332 on
December 31, 1998 is due primarily to the purchase of two commercial trucks in
October 1998 for $102,118.
The increase in shareholders' equity for the year ended December 31, 1998 is due
to the exercise of warrants by the president of the Company for $30,000 (100,000
shares), the conversion of debt to equity for $62,500 (62,500 shares), issuance
of shares for consulting services rendered $74,500 (265,000 shares) and sales of
common stock $181,300 (344,858 shares). Shareholders equity was reduced by
syndication costs of $190,288 related to the sale of common stock and fund
raising activities.
The Company's revenues increased from $832,729 in 1997 to $1,028,952 in 1998, a
net increase of $196,223. During 1998 and 1997, the Company sold and installed
drive through truck washes totaling $91,400 and $-0-, respectively.
Additionally, chemical sales increased from $745,444 in 1997 to $853,821 in
1998.
Cost of sales increased from $208,539 in 1997 to $224,627 in 1998 which is due
to the increased sales activities.
During the year ended December 31,1998, operating expenses totaled $799,387 as
compared to $595,180 for the year ended December 31,1997. The increase of
$109,000 is attributed to the hiring of three new employees for servicing
customers on a nationwide basis. Travel and auto expenses accounted for an
additional $75,000 due to the cost of training new employees in the field and
expansion into new market areas. For the year ended December 31, 1998, interest
expense and depreciation expense increased by $10,000 over the 1997 amounts.
These increases are a result of additional borrowings and an increased property
and equipment base for depreciation purposes.
For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company's operating income was $4,938
as compared to $29,010 for the year ended December 31, 1997. The decrease in
profits is due to increased operating expenses incurred by hiring and training
new employees in field service and distribution in the Southeastern and
Midwestern states.

thereafter diligently pursued to completion within one
hundred eighty (180) days from the date of damage), the
LESSEE/PURCHASER may at any time thereafter prior to
substantial completion of such repairs terminate this
Lease/Purchase by giving at least thirty (30) days written

destruction or until the Premises are restored to their
former condition. Should LESSEE/PURCHASER elect to extend the
current term of the Lease/Purchase, LESSOR/SELLER shall
restore the Premises to their former condition with due
diligence, and LESSEE/PURCHASER shall not be liable to pay
the rent portion of the required monthly payment for the
period from the time of such destruction until the Premises
are so restored to their former condition.

LESSEE/PURCHASER shall continue to have the right to purchase
the Premises provided, however, that if LESSEE/PURCHASER
pursues its right to purchase the Premises following an event
of damage or destruction to the Premises and prior to the

insuring the other party for any business interruption or for any loss or damage
to the buildings, structures or other tangible property, or injury to or death
of persons occurring on or about the Premises or the buildings, or in any manner
growing out of or connected with LESSEE/PURCHASER'S use or occupation of the
Premises or buildings, or the use or occupation of the Premises by
LESSEE/PURCHASER'S agents, employees, representatives, visitors, guests even
though such business interruption, loss, damage, injury or death might have been
occasioned by the negligence of such party, its agents or employees, to the
extent that such business interruption, loss, damage injury or death is or could
be covered by a fire and extended coverage insurance policy (with vandalism and
malicious mischief endorsement attached), by a contents insurance policy or by a
sprinkler leakage or water damage policy, or to the extent of recovery under any
other insurance carried covering such business interruption, loss, injury or
death. Each insurance policy carried by the parties hereto shall contain a
clause to the effect that the foregoing waiver shall not affect the right of the
insured party to recover under such policy.

Re: USDA Rural Development Loan Guaranty Application
Dear Mr. Phillips:
In our telephone conversation today you mentioned that the Securities and
Exchange Commission requested information regarding your USDA loan guaranty
application. The following three paragraphs should provide the information:
1. After a thorough credit review of the information you submitted to our firm,
we determined that your company was both eligible and qualified for the issuance
of an 80% USDA Rural Development guaranty for a loan in the amount of $1,097,000
with a term of 20 years at an interest rate of Wall Street Journal Prime Rate
plus 2.00%. Through our underwriting process, we have determined that your loan
request meets all of the USDA requirements; therefore, the likelihood of
approval of the application is very good. Also, the new federal budget,
allocating funds for the USDA loan guaranty program was approved two weeks ago
so there will be no funding constraints in issuing the guaranty.
2. The only further steps needed for approval of the loan guaranty request are
the various underwriting reviews at the USDA local, district and state level, a
process that should take about six weeks.
3. Through the USDA Rural Development program, Economic Development Capital
provides commercial financing to businesses located in communities with
populations up to 50,000. Our web site at "www.bandiloans.com" provides an
excellent description of our company and services.
I hope that this correspondence adequately addresses the SEC's inquiry.
Sincerely,
/s/ STAN CORVIN, JR.
