CAUTIONARY FORWARD - LOOKING STATEMENT
-------------------------------------
Statements included in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and in future filings by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company's press
releases and in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized
executive officer which are not historical or current facts are "forward-looking
statements" and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently
anticipated or projected. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place
undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of
the date made. The following important factors, among others, in some cases have
affected and in the future could affect the Company's actual results and could
cause the Company's actual financial performance to differ materially from that
expressed in any forward-looking statement: (i) the extremely competitive
conditions that currently exist in the three dimensional software development
marketplace are expected to continue, placing further pressure on pricing which
could adversely impact sales and erode profit margins; (ii) many of the
Company's major competitors in its channels of distribution have significantly
greater financial resources than the Company; and (iii) the inability to carry
out marketing and sales plans would have a materially adverse impact on the
Company's projections. The foregoing list should not be construed as exhaustive

YEAR 2000 ISSUES
----------------
Year 2000 Issues - Uncertainty Of The Effects Of The Year 2000 On Computer
Programs And Systems. The "year 2000" issue concerns the potential exposure
related to the possible automatic generation of business and financial
misinformation resulting from the application of computer programs which have
been written using two digits, rather than four, to define the applicable year
of business transactions. When the year 2000 begins, programs with such
date-related logic will not be able to distinguish between the years 1900 and
2000, potentially causing software and hardware to fail, generating erroneous
calculations or presenting information in an unusable format. The Company is
dependent on multiple computer servers and the third-party computer programs
14
<PAGE>
running on them to provide data in support of its accounting and administrative
functions. The Company's plan for year 2000 compliance includes the following
phases: (i) conducting a comprehensive inventory of the Company's internal
systems, including information technology systems and non-information technology
systems and the systems acquired or to be acquired by the Company from third
parties, (ii) assessing and prioritizing any required changes, upgrades, or
enhancements, (iii) resolving any problems by repairing or, if appropriate,
replacing the non-compliant systems, (iv) testing all remediated systems for
Year 2000 compliance and (v) developing contingency plans that may be employed
in the event that any system used by the Company is unexpectedly affected by a
previously unanticipated problem relating to the Year 2000. In recognition of
the potential year 2000 problem, the Company has begun a program to replace any
of its existing communications, engineering and accounting software that is not
year 2000 compliant with new software that is warranted by its vendors as being
year 2000 compliant. It is anticipated that the costs of such replacement will
not be material. The Company has relationships with various third parties on
whom it relies to provide goods and services necessary for the manufacture and
distribution of its products. These include suppliers and vendors. As part of
its determination of year 2000 readiness, the Company has identified material
relationships with third party vendors and is in the process of assessing the
status of their compliance through the use of informal inquiries and review of
hardware and software documentation. The components to be purchased by the
Company in connection with the manufacture of its products are generally
available through numerous independent sources. Due to the broad diversification
of these sources, the risk associated with potential business interruptions as a
result of year 2000 non-compliance by one or more sources is not considered
significant. It is anticipated that the steps the Company has taken and is
continuing to take to deal with the year 2000 problem will reduce the risk of
significant business interruptions, but there is no assurance that this outcome
will be achieved. Failure to detect and correct all internal instances of
non-compliance or the inability of third parties to achieve timely compliance
could result in the interruption of normal business operations which could,
depending on its duration, have a material adverse effect on the Company.
RISK FACTORS
------------
FUTURE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS; UNCERTAINTY OF FUTURE FUNDING. The Company's
plan of operation calls for additional capital to facilitate growth and support
its long-term development and marketing programs. It is likely that the Company
would need to seek additional financing through subsequent future public or
private sales of its securities, including equity securities. The Company may
also seek funding for the development and marketing of its products through
strategic partnerships and other arrangements with investment partners. There
can be no assurance, however, that such collaborative arrangements or additional
funds will be available when needed, or on terms acceptable to the Company, if
at all. Any such additional financing may result in significant dilution to
existing stockholders. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may be
required to curtail one or more of its future programs.
PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. The Company relies on patents, contractual
rights, trade secrets, trademarks, and copyrights to establish and protect its
proprietary rights in its products and its components. The Company has patented
the technology that is incorporated into its products and believes that, since
it is a technology patent, competitors will have a more difficult time
developing products functionally similar to the Company's. To further protect
its products, the Company will apply for additional patents for its inventions
and for non-commercial available components designed and developed by the
Company that are integral to product performance. The Company intends to closely
monitor competing product introductions for any infringement of the Company's
proprietary rights. The Company believes that, as the demand for products such
as those developed by the Company increases, infringement of intellectual
property rights may also increase. If infringement of the Company's proprietary
rights is by industry competitors, they have substantially greater financial,
technical, and legal resources than the Company which could adversely affect the
Company's ability to defend its rights. In addition, the Company could incur
substantial costs in defending its rights.
15
<PAGE>
DEPENDENCE ON KEY EMPLOYEES. Historically, the Company has been heavily
dependent on the ability of Bruce E. Raidl, to contribute essential technical
and management experience. In the event of future growth in administration,
marketing, manufacturing and customer support functions, the Company may have to
increase the depth and experience of its management team by adding new members.
The Company's success will depend to a large degree upon the active
participation of its key officers and employees. Loss of services of any of the
current officers and directors could have a significant adverse effect on the
operations and prospects of the Company. There can be no assurance that it will
be able to employ qualified persons on acceptable terms to replace officers that
become unavailable.
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL SPECIALIZED PERSONNEL. Although the management of the
Company is committed to the business and continued development and growth of the
business, the additional of specialized key personnel and sales persons to
assist the Company in its expansion of its national operations will be
necessary. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to locate and
hire such specialized personnel on acceptable terms.
COMPETITION. There are numerous corporations, firms and individuals which
are engaged in the type of business activities in which the Company is presently
engaged. Many of those entities are more experienced and possess substantially
greater financial, technical and personnel resources than the Company. While the
Company hopes to be competitive with other similar companies, there can be no
assurance that such will be the case.
VOTING CONTROL. Due to the joint ownership of a majority of the shares of
the Company's outstanding common stock by Angela M. Raidl and her brother Bruce
Raidl, collectively, these individuals have the ability to elect all of the
Company's directors, who in turn elect all executive officers, without regard to
the votes of other stockholders.
ABILITY TO MAINTAIN ADEQUATE INVENTORY LEVELS. The size of the fire
retardant and fire protection markets and need to maintain adequate inventories
with regard to such products could force the Company into implementing
additional manufacturing and warehousing programs. There can be no assurance
that the Company will have the necessary capital resource or man power to
implement such manufacturing and warehousing programs.
DEPENDENCE ON ABILITY TO MARKET PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. Due to the Company's
limited resources, the sales and marketing of the Company's products has been
limited to date. The success of the Company is dependent upon its ability to
market and sell the products and services of the Company with such limited
resources.
RISKS OF "PENNY STOCKS." The Company's common stock may be deemed to be
"penny stock" as that term is defined in Reg. Section 240.3a51-1 of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks are stocks (i) with a price of
less than five dollars per share; (ii) that are not traded on a "recognized"
national exchange; (iii) whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated
quotation system (NASDAQ-listed stocks must still meet requirement (i) above);
or (iv) of an issuer with net tangible assets less than US$2,000,000 (if the
issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or
US$5,000,000 (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with
average annual revenues of less than US$6,000,000 for the last three years.
Section 15(g) of the 1934 Act and Reg. Section 240.15g-2 of the Commission
require broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors
with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually
signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any
transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. Potential investors in
the Company's common stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure
carefully before purchasing any shares that are deemed to be "penny stock."
Moreover, Reg. Section 240.15g-9 of the Commission requires broker-dealers
in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such
stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires
the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or
her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii)
reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny
stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient
knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of
16
<PAGE>
penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement
setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in
(ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the
investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial
situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with
these requirements may make it more difficult for investors in the Company's
common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of
them.
NO MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK. Although the Company intends to submit for
quotation of its common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board of the NASD following
the effectiveness of this registration statement, and to seek a broker-dealer to
act as market maker for its securities (without the use of any consultant),
there is currently no market for such shares, there have been no discussions
with any broker-dealer or any other person in this regard, and no market maker
has been identified; there can be no assurance that such a market will ever
develop or be maintained. Any market price for shares of common stock of the
Company is likely to be very volatile, and numerous factors beyond the control
of the Company may have a significant effect. In addition, the stock markets
generally have experienced, and continue to experience, extreme price and volume
fluctuations which have affected the market price of many small capital
companies and which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of
these companies. These broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic
and political conditions, may adversely affect the market price of the Company's
common stock in any market that may develop.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION.
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Alman v. AFRC Florida
---------------------
The Company was involved in litigation in the calendar year 1997. The
Company's former subsidiary, AFRC Florida was a party defendant in the matter
Allen E. Alman and Phyllis S. Alman v. American Fire Retardant Corporation of
Florida and Stephen F. Owens, Dade County Florida, Case No. 97-7203 CA 09. The
matter was a dispute over the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement entered into
in September 1993 with regard to the purchase by AFRC Florida of all the stock
and assets of Apco Equipment Sale Corporation dba Thoro-Sheen Company. This
matter was resolved in July 1997 wherein AFRC Florida and Mr. Owens agreed to
pay to Mr. And Mrs. Almans the total sum of $51,550, payable $5,775.00 on or
before July 15, 1997, $5,775.00 on or before August 30, 1997 and the balance of
$40,000 in installments of $1,800.00 per month for 24 months commencing on
September 30, 1997, until paid in full.
All payments were made in a timely manner pursuant to the terms of the
Joint Stipulation and the final payment was made on September 15, 1999.
Halvelin v. AFRC
-----------------
The Company is a party defendant in the matter of Havelin v. American Fire
Retardant Corporation, United States District Court, Southern District of
Mississippi, Case No. 1-99CV156GR. The Plaintiff, Jennifer L. Havelin was suing
the Company alleging that the Company discriminated against the Plaintiff
because of Plaintiff's sex, a female. The Plaintiff originally filed a claim
with Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") in May 15, 1998 alleging
discrimination and that Plaintiff had been laid off because she was a female. On
January 29, 1999 the EEOC dismissed Plaintiffs claim as being without merit.
This action arose from the same facts set forth by Plaintiff in her claim with
the EEOC. Further, pursuant to Title VII the Plaintiff had 90 days (i.e. until
May 1, 1999) to file a lawsuit in Federal Court with regard to this matter. The
Plaintiff filed her action beyond the prescribed time period.
On August 25, 1999, the Company settled this matter for a total sum of
$5,000 paid by the Company to Ms. Havelin.
As a result of the resolution of the above matters, the costs of litigation
associated with those matters have ceased and therefore there is no further
effect on the results of operations and liquidity.

Delinquent Payroll Taxes
------------------------
The Company owes the Internal Revenue Service $219,582 for prior delinquent
payroll taxes by the Company's former subsidiaries, AFRC Florida and AFRC
Louisiana. These payroll taxes became delinquent starting in the 3rd quarter of
1997 through the 4th quarter of 1998. The total delinquent payroll tax
liabilities are $101,403 attributed to AFRC Florida and $118,178 attributed to
AFRC Louisiana. The Company has retained the tax counsel of Royston & Hebert in
Lafayette, Louisiana to represent the Company before the Internal Revenue
Service and the Company is currently submitting an Offer and Compromise work-out
agreement to obtain a substantial reduction of the outstanding payroll tax
balance due. The Company has since kept current with all present payroll and
other tax obligations.
With the exception of the legal proceedings and tax matter set forth above,
the Company is not presently a party to any litigation, claim, or assessment.
Further, the Company is unaware of any unasserted claim or assessment, which
will have a material effect on the financial position or future operations of
the Company.
Item 2. Changes in Securities.
