                    Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

                                March 31, 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.
Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1997.

2. STOCKHOLDER'S 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. In addition to the
aforementioned issuance, the Company issued 658,200 shares of common stock to
various individuals and recognized $521,791 as compensation for services based
upon the value of Common Stock sold during those periods. This amount has been
recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the statement of
operations.

During the period the Company sold 386,840 shares of common stock and received
gross proceeds of $595,593.

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 $1.54 per share. The Company has deferred the value of such
services and is amortizing such over a twelve month period.

          Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                             and Plan of Operations

                                                           
GENERAL

During the three month period ended March 31, 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,
subject to the Company's successful completion of its research with regard to
evaluating 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 could be ready
for marketing during 1997, although no assurances thereof can be given. Based
upon the Company's current financial status, the need to continue research and
development and the Company's emphasis on its paint stripping and foam products,
management does not believe that it will 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 (See note 1 to the financial statements) as raising substantial doubt
as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern are (i) the Company
has incurred recurring operating losses and (ii) the Company has a working
capital deficiency.

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND MARCH 31, 1996

Sales and Net Losses. For the three month period ended March 31, 1997, sales
- ---------------------
decreased to $9,523 from $12,744 in the same period of the prior year, a
decrease of 25%. The Company's marketing and sales efforts are still in the
formative stages and therefore comparisons to the prior period are not
meaningful. For the three month period ended March 31, 1997, the Company
reported net losses of $1,064,486 compared to $671,000 in the prior period, an
increased loss of 59%, due primarily to an increase in selling, general, and
administrative expenses as discussed below.

Selling, General and Administrative. For the three month period ended March 31,
- ------------------------------------
1997, the Company incurred selling, general and administrative expenses of
$953,287 compared to $608,414 in the same period of the prior year, an increase
of 57% due primarily to an increase of approximately $346,000 in consulting and
compensation expense to various individuals for professional services performed.
The value of such services was based upon the fair market value of Common 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 March 31, 1997,
- -------------------------
research and development expenses increased to $101,222 from $57,509 in the same
period of the prior year, an increase of 76%. The increase relates to activities
associated 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 $486,000 as of this date and
the private placement of equity securities amounting to $6,031,470 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 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 the licenses with
respect to the various technologies under which the Company has undertaken
substantial ongoing financial commitments. Unless the Company is able to obtain
additional financing, the Company will be unable to meet its commitments under
such agreements.

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.
