                    Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

                                 June 30, 1997


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operation results for the six month period ended June 30, 1997, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1997.  Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market.

2.  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

In accordance with employment contracts for the Company's two executive
officers, the Company issued 93,040 shares of common stock to each of these
officers and recorded a pro rata portion of the annual compensation expense
which approximated $72,000 during the three month period and $143,000 for the
year to date.  In addition to the aforementioned issuance, the Company issued
384,000 shares of common stock to various individuals and recognized $449,242 as
compensation for services based upon the value of common stock sold during the
three month period.  This amount has been recorded in selling, general, and
administrative expenses in the statement of operations.

During the three month period the Company sold 493,000 shares of common stock
and received gross proceeds of $577,500.

3.  CONSULTING AGREEMENT

In February 1997, the Company entered into a consulting agreement for the
introduction of the Company's chemical paint stripper into the European market.
As compensation for services, the Company issued 365,000 shares of its common
stock valued at $562,000.  The Company is amortizing the costs of such services
over a twelve month period.  The charge for the three months ended  June 30,1997
was $140,525 and for the six months was $213,913.

4.   EXCLUSIVE MARKETING LICENSE

In April 1997, the Company issued 250,000 shares of its common stock to an
individual in exchange for exclusive worldwide marketing and manufacturing
rights to a patented product known as Natural Cool Systems.  The transaction
resulted in additional selling, general, and administrative expense of $292,500
during the quarter.  The license agreement provides for payments of a two (2%)
percent royalty on gross sales of the Natural Cool product.  The agreement
provides for an indefinite term as long as certain 

                                       7

performance criteria are met and such performance criteria have been met to
date. The Company has accrued the royalty due on sales made during the second
quarter.

          Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

                            and Plan of Operations


General

During the three month period ended June 30, 1997, management of the Company has
continued to concentrate a significant portion of its efforts on the marketing
and sale of the Company's paint stripping product.  Additionally, the Company
has successfully completed its research with regard to determining the
appropriate mechanism for delivery of the foam product onto its intended
surface, and subject to the Company's ability to obtain additional financing,
management believes that the Company's foam products will be ready for marketing
during 1997, although no assurances thereof can be given.  Also during the
period ended June 30, 1997, the Company successfully completed initial sales of
its Natural Cool Systems.  In February 1997, the Company successfully negotiated
and signed a License Agreement for the exclusive worldwide marketing rights and
manufacturing rights to a patented product known as Natural Cool.  The Natural
Cool product is a patented air circulation system by which relatively cold
ambient air can be used to cool walk-in coolers in lieu of using refrigeration
systems.  The products are based on the concept of using nature's own resources
to reduce energy costs in commercial refrigeration.  The Company believes,
subject to additional financing, that the sales of these units will continue to
grow through the remainder of 1997.  Based upon the Company's current financial
status, the need to continue research and development and the Company's emphasis
on its paint stripping, foam, and Natural Cool products, management does not
believe that it will bring to market any of its sealants, coatings or solvents
in 1997.

The report of the Company's independent auditors contains a paragraph as to the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Among the factors cited by
the auditors as raising doubt as to the Company's ability to continue are (i)
the Company has incurred recurring losses and (ii) the Company has a working
capital deficiency.  The Company has never generated sufficient revenues to
finance its operations and has been able to remain in business solely as a
result of raising capital through the sale of the Company's stock.

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTH AND SIX MONTH PERIODS
ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND JUNE 30, 1996

Sales and Net Losses.  For the three month period ended June 30, 1997, sales
- --------------------
increased to $327,957 from $24,917 in the same period of the prior year, an
increase of $303,040.  For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, sales
increased to $337,480 from $37,661 for the same period in the prior year, an
increase of $299,819.  Sales increases during the 

                                       9

quarter were realized in both the Company's paint stripping and Natural Cool
products. Sales of the paint stripper totaled $22,509 in the quarter compared to
$12,744 for the prior period, an increase of $9,765 or 77%. Initial sales of the
Natural Cool product during the quarter totaled $305,448. For the three month
period ended June 30, 1997, the Company reported net losses of $827,791 compared
to $625,756 in the prior period, an increased loss of $202,035 or 32%. For the
six month period ended June 30, 1997, the Company reported losses of $1,892,277
compared to $1,296,756 for the same period of the prior year, an increase of
$595,521 or 46%. The increase in losses for the three month period and year-to-
date is attributed entirely to an increase in selling, general, and
administrative costs as discussed below.

Selling, General and Administrative.  For the three month period ended June 30,
- -----------------------------------
1997, the Company incurred selling, general and administrative expenses of
$955,060 compared to $565,941 in the same period of the prior year, an increase
of $389,119 or 69% due entirely to approximately $449,000 in consulting and
compensation expense to various individuals for professional services performed.
The Company's Common Stock was issued for such services, and the value was based
upon the fair market value of Common Stock sold during the period. For the six
month period ended June 30, 1997, the Company incurred selling, general, and
administrative expenses of $1,908,347 as compared to $1,174,355 in the same
period of the prior year, an increase of $733,922 or 63%. The increase is due
primarily to approximately $795,000 in consulting and compensation expense to
various individuals for professional services performed. The Company's common
stock was issued for such services and the value was based on the fair market
value of stock sold during the period. Calculations with respect to the
percentage of selling, general and administrative expenses relative to sales are
not meaningful.

Research and Development.  For the three month period ended June 30, 1997,
- ------------------------
research and development expenses increased to $81,848 from $55,775 in the same
period of the prior year, an increase of $26,073 or 47%.  This increase is due
to the Company's activities associated with its foam product.  For the six month
period ended June 30, 1997, research and development expense totaled $183,071,
up from $113,284 in the same period of the prior year, or an increase of $69,787
or 62% also due to activities with the Company's foam product. Calculations with
respect to the percentage of research and development expenses relative to sales
are not meaningful.



LIQUIDITY

The Company has never generated sufficient revenues to finance its operations
and has been able to remain in business solely as a result of raising capital.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern in the near term is
dependent upon obtaining additional financing. The Company does not have the
financial resources to operate its business, continue research and development
or market its products. The Company has financed its operations through loans
from shareholders which aggregated approximately $464,000 as 

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
of this date and the private placement of equity securities amounting to
$6,609,470 since inception. The Company continues to seek additional capital
from an array of potential sources. The Company has provided information
regarding its technologies to venture capital firms and is currently in
discussions with some of them, although there can be no assurances that any such
discussions will result in the Company obtaining additional capital. Even if the
Company is able to obtain additional capital there can be no assurances that the
structure or terms of such proposed financing will be on acceptable terms.

The Company has entered into agreements with SSC Marketing Co., for sales and
marketing services and with the respective licensors under licenses for the
exclusive sales, marketing, and manufacturing rights for the paint stripping,
foam, and Natural Cool System technologies. Under these agreements, the Company
has undertaken substantial ongoing financial commitments, and unless the Company
is able to obtain additional financing, the Company will be unable to meet its
commitments under such agreements.

As previously noted, the Company continues to seek additional capital with which
to finance ongoing operations.  The Company estimates that it will require
approximately $3,000,000 in additional financing in order to continue current
operations for the next twelve months, and an additional $2,000,000 in order to
complete research with respect to all of the technologies, commercially exploit
the products derived therefrom, market each such product and finance initial
production thereof.

The company currently has one lawsuit pending against it.  The lawsuit was
brought by Richard Coen as trustee for the bankruptcy estate of Samuel E.
Bernstein claiming back salary allegedly due to Mr. Bernstein.  The Company is
of the opinion that the lawsuit will have no material effect on its ability to
operate.

A lawsuit has been threatened by Edwin Stephens claiming payments due under a
prior licensing agreement.  The Company believes the claim is without merit and
will have no material effect on the operations of the Company.
