PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Financial Statements (unaudited)
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Enviro Voraxial
Technology, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-B. 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 considered necessary for a fair presentation
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been included. 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 assets 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. Operating results for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 2000. For further information, refer
to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the year ended
December 31, 1999 found in the Company's Form 10-KSB.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
Enviro Voraxial Technology, Inc. (the "Company") operates a high precision
engineering machine shop located in Florida, which designs, manufactures and
assembles specialized parts and components. Prior to 1999, the Company performed
contract-manufacturing services to the aerospace and automotive industries.
Since 1999, the Company has been focusing its efforts on developing and
marketing the Voraxial Separator ("VAS"). The VAS is a continuous flow turbo
machine that efficiently separates mixture of fluids or fluids and solids at
extremely high flow rates while achieving very high levels of purity through the
utilization of a strong centrifugal force or vortex. The scalability, efficiency
and effectiveness of the VAS make the technology universal to any industry
requiring the separation of liquids and/or liquids and solids, regardless of the
quantity needed to be processed. Potential commercial applications include
ballast water exchange, oil/water separation, sewage separation, environmental
cleanup and the separation of industrial chemicals.
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
[1] Principles of consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2000 include the
accounts of the parent company Enviro Voraxial Technology, Inc. and its wholly
owned subsidiary Florida Precision Aerospace, Inc. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
[2] Cash and cash equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
[3] Property, plant and equipment:
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. The cost of maintenance and
repairs is charged against results of operations as incurred. Depreciation is
computed by the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful life of
the assets (5 -20 years).
[4] Net loss per share:
Basic and diluted loss per share has been computed by dividing the net loss
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. The convertible preferred stock has been excluded from the
calculation since it would be anti-dilutive.
[5] Inventory:
Inventory, which consists primarily of parts, is priced at lower of first-in,
first-out cost or market.

ENVIRO VORAXIAL TECHNOLOGY, INC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
[6] 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 amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets
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.
[7] Income taxes:
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of
differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial
reporting amounts at year end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates
applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect
taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary, to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
[8] Research and development expenses:
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
[9] Revenue recognition:
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when the products are shipped
to customers.
[10] Fair value of financial instruments:
The carrying amounts of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, and amounts due to stockholders approximate fair
value due to their short maturities. Mortgage note payable and obligations under
capital leases approximate fair value as the interest rates applicable to these
debt instruments are comparable to quoted market prices for similar issues.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of
Operations
General
Management's discussion and analysis contains various forward-looking
statements. These statements consist of any statement other than a recitation of
historical fact and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology
such as "may," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate" or "continue" or use of
negative or other variations or comparable terminology.
We caution that these statements are further qualified by important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the
forward-looking statements, that these forward-looking statements are
necessarily speculative, and there are certain risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those referred to
in such forward-looking statements.

<PAGE>
Three Months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999
Net Sales. Our net sales increased by approximately 629% to $51,000 as compared
to $7,000 for the previous three months ended September 30, 1999. This sales
increase was primarily do to increased shipments to New Venture Gear in the
third quarter of 2000.
Our gross profit was $30,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 as
compared to $4,000 for the previous three months ended September 30, 1999. This
increase in gross profit was also primarily due to shipments to New Venture Gear
in the third quarter of 2000.
General and Administrative expenses
General and Administrative expenses increased by 81% to $121,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 up from $67,000 for the previous three months
ended September 30, 1999. This increase was due to increased marketing efforts
for application sales of the Voraxial Separator.
We have rented excess space in our operating facility. Income amounted to
$12,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2000. The monthly rental income
amounts to $4,000 per month.
Nine Months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999
Net Sales. Our net sales increased by approximately 70% to $192,000 as compared
to $113,000 for the previous nine months ended September 30, 1999. This increase
was due to increased contract requirements for New Venture Gear and other
various contracts.
Our gross profit was $114,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as
compared to $30,000 for the previous nine months ended September 30, 1999.
During the first nine months of 2000, new customer orders of machine work were
at a higher margin. The Company is only focusing on higher margin machine work.
Concentration and efforts of the Company are centered on marketing and
developing the foundation for future growth around the Voraxial Separator.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by 75% to $374,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 up from $214,000 for the previous nine months
ended September 30, 1999. Increased marketing activities for the Voraxial
Separator generated additional general and administrative expenses.
We have rented excess space in our operating facility. Income amounted to
$42,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The monthly rental income
amounts to $4,000 per month.

<PAGE>
Liquidity and capital resources
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 our working capital increased by
$102,000 from December 31, 1999. This increase was represented by an increase in
cash of $164,000, decrease of accounts receivable of $36,000 inclusive of
allowance for doubtful accounts of $24,000, and an increase in inventory of
$19,000 and an increase in current liabilities of $45,000. Operating at a loss
for the nine months negatively impacted our cash position, however we feel that
we have sufficient sources for needed capital.
Working capital for the next twelve months will be obtained from a number of
sources. The continuing contract for parts supplied to New Venture Gear will be
approximately $120,000. We will continue to take on machining contracts to
supplement working capital, if necessary, from our past customer. As discussed
in "Other Information" the Ballast Water Treatment System, which is centered
around the Company's patented Voraxial Separator, has received financial
contributions in the form of grants and resources from various entities, such as
NOAA, the Port Administration of Maryland and the US Maritime Administration, in
support of its Ballast Water Treatment System. Since the Voraxial Separator can
enhance the efficiency and productivity in other industries, the Company is also
pursuing the development of other systems that can benefit by incorporating the
Voraxial Separator. The Company anticipates that as interest and awareness of
the Voraxial Separator continues to increase, revenues should begin to be
realized from a variety of industries.
We believe that we have sufficient liquidity to meet all of our cash
requirements through the period of the next twelve months after the quarter
ended September 30, 2000. An increase in cash flow will be generated by sales
and leasing of the Voraxial Separator, which will phase in over the next year.
We believe, however, that additional funding may eventually be necessary to
expand marketing programs and specific applications for the Voraxial Separator.
We have raised $362,000 in the first quarter of 2000 through the private
placement of our securities pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act.
Continuing losses
Since 1999 we have encountered expenses in the development of our Voraxial
Separators and have had limited revenues from this development. Consequently,
our working capital may not be sufficient and our operating costs may exceed
those experienced in our prior years. While we have raised funds through the
private placement of securities, given our limited operations, we may be unable
to continue as a going concern.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements:
Certain statements contained in this Section and elsewhere in this report
regarding matters that are not, historical facts are forward-looking statements.
Because such forward-looking statements include risks and uncertainties, actual
results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. All statements, which address operating performance,
events or developments that management expects or anticipates to incur in the
future, including statements relating to sales and earnings growth or statements
expressing general optimism about future operating results, are forward-looking
statements. The forward-looking statements are based on management's current
views and assumptions regarding future events and operating performance. Many
factors could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates contained
in management's forward-looking statements. The differences may be caused by a
variety of factors, including, but not limited to, adverse economic conditions,
competitive pressures, inadequate capital, unexpected costs, lower revenues, net
income and forecasts, the possibility of fluctuation and volatility of the
Company's operating results and financial condition, inability to carry out
marketing and sales plans and loss of key executives, among other things.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None.
Item 5. Other Information
As mentioned in the last quarter report, the following events have continued:
The University of Maryland has recently received a commitment of funding of
approximately $300,000 from The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce. This is one of the largest sea
grants ever issued by NOAA and will be used to support testing of a patent
pending Ballast Water Treatment System developed by the Company and Maritime
Solutions Inc. The Ballast Water Treatment System is a state-of-the-art, high
flow rate, ballast water purification technology, which reduces particulate
sediment and treats unwanted marine organisms for the distinct purpose of
inhibiting the introduction of non-indigenous and invasive marine organisms into
local waters. Simultaneously, the system significantly reduces the build-up of
sand and sediments in the ships ballast tanks, which can potentially save the
industry billions of dollars in cleaning expenses.
The testing is being done in cooperation with the University of Maryland and it
is scheduled to begin next month in the Chesapeake Bay area in Baltimore. The
Maryland Department of Transportation and the Maryland Port Administration have
endorsed the testing of this water treatment system in Baltimore Harbor.
In addition, the Maryland Port Administration has recently committed nearly
$363,000 to rigorously test and evaluate the Ballast Water Treatment System as
an immediate solution for the treatment of ballast water to the shipping
industry. The testing is being done in cooperation with the University of
Maryland's Chesapeake Biological Laboratory. Dr. David A. Wright and Dr. Roger
Dawson of the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory will be the co-principal
investigators for the evaluation. Dr. Wright is an expert in the field of
Environmental Toxicology, while Dr. Dawson is an analytical chemist with
extensive expertise in the areas of natural product biocides and ultraviolet
(UV) light technology.
The Company and Maritime Solutions Inc. have also received the support of the
U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD), an agency of the U.S. Department of
Transportation, to evaluate the Ballast Water Treatment System. Testing will be
performed aboard one of MARAD's U.S. Ready Reserve Fleet ships, the Cape May.
The Cape May is an 875-foot long cargo carrier of 39,000 dead weight tons and
contains 23 ballast tanks with a combined capacity to carry 25,547 metric tons
of ballast water.
The testing program is scheduled to begin during the month of August and is
being conducted to conform to a recent testing program supported by the U.S.
Coast Guard Research and Development Center.
For the purpose of this evaluation, the EVTN Model 8000 Voraxial Separator has
been selected. The unit is capable of processing 4,500 gpm of ballast water. The
complete ballast water treatment system to be tested will include the
utilization of a single 8-inch EVTN Model 8000 Voraxial Separator, an
ultraviolet light system and, alternatively, a specific chemical biocide
pre-selected to treat marine species.
If accepted for use by the U.S. Coast Guard, Maritime Solutions Inc. will
commence selling efforts of a commercial Ballast Water Treatment System within
the shipping industry. An application will also be submitted to the
International Maritime Organization for approval of the EVTN/Maritime Solutions'
Ballast Water Treatment System to be accepted as the alternative to ballast
water exchange. Each year, ships exchange about 10 billion metric tons of
ballast water. Management believes that the potential market for approved
ballast water treatment systems may exceed $2 billion within the next 5 years.
