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 fire retardant and fireproofing industry
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
and the Company disclaims any obligation subsequently to revise any
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of
such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated
events.
RISKS FACTORS
-------------
The Company's present and proposed business operations will be highly
speculative and subject to the same types of risks inherent in any new or
unproven venture, as well as risk factors particular to the industries in which
it will operate, and will include, among other things, those types of risk
factors outlined below.
YEAR 2000 PROBLEMS MAY DISRUPT THE COMPANY'S OPERATIONS AND HARM ITS BUSINESS
RISK ASSOCIATED WITH YEAR 2000 ISSUES - THE COMPANY IS UNCERTAIN OF THE EFFECTS
OF THE YEAR 200O ON ITS COMPUTER PROGRAMS AND SYSTEMS.
Many currently installed computer systems and software programs were
designed to use only a two digit date field. These date code fields will need to
accept four digit entries to distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century
dates. Until the date fields are updated, the systems and programs could fail or
give erroneous results when referencing dates following December 31, 1999. Given
that the Company's products operate on certain hardware platforms and within
certain software operating systems and environments, the Company must rely upon
the efforts of the hardware and software vendors and manufacturers to be in the
vanguard with respect to operating systems and platform issues relating to the
Year 2000 compliance.
PRESENT YEAR 2000 STATUS
The Company has assessed the impact of the year 2000 issue on the Company's
products, services, platforms systems and internal information technology
systems (IT systems) and non-information technology systems (non-IT systems), in
use, and has found them to be Year 2000 compliant. The Company has also
contacted its major vendors and suppliers and has received confirmation and
verification that their respective computer systems are also Year 2000
compliant. The Company does not expect the Company's financial results to be
materially affected by the need to continue to monitor and address year 2000
issues, but if the costs associated with addressing these issues are greater
than planned, the Company's earnings and results of operations could be
affected. Due to the Company's dependence on computer technology to conduct the
Company's business, the nature and impact of year 2000 processing failures on
the Company's business, financial condition and operating results could be
material.

<PAGE>
BUSINESS CONTINUITY AND CONTINGENCY PLANNING
The Company continues the process of identifying the reasonably likely year
2000 problem failures that the Company could experience with the goal of
revising, to the extent practical, the Company's existing business continuity
and contingency plans to address the internal and external issues specific to
those problems. Thus far, the Company has focused as planned on reviewing the
Company's critical business processes and although the Company conducted tests
on the various and Platform systems in use, and has found them to be Year 2000
compliant, the Company's expect to continuously review, test and revise the
Company's existing business continuity and contingency plans to ensure that all
systems are and maintain year 2000 compliant. This will include as required
repairing or obtaining replacement systems; changing suppliers; and reducing or
suspending certain non-critical aspects of our operations.
POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF YEAR 2000 PROBLEMS
The Company believes that the Company has put in place the processes and
are devoting the resources necessary to achieve a level of readiness to meet the
Company's year 2000 challenges in a timely and appropriate manner. However,
there can be no assurance that the Company's internal systems or the systems of
others on which we rely will be year 2000 ready in a timely and appropriate
manner or that the Company's contingency plans or the contingency plans of
others on which the Company relies will mitigate the effects of year 2000
problem failures. Currently, the Company believes the most reasonably likely
worst case scenario would be a sustained, concurrent failure of multiple
critical systems (internal and external) that support the Company's operations
(i.e. vendors and suppliers of the Company). While the Company does not expect
that scenario to occur, that scenario if it occurs could, even despite the
successful execution of the Company's business continuity and contingency plans,
result in the reduction or suspension of a material portion of our operations
and accordingly have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and
financial condition.
The "Year 2000 Information" discussion contains various forward-looking
statements that represent the Company's beliefs or expectations regarding future
events. When used in the "Year 2000 Information" discussion, the words
"believes," "expects," "estimates," "plans," "goals," and similar expressions
are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements
include, without limitation, the Company's expectations as to when the Company
will complete the identification and assessment, remediation planning,
remediation, and testing activities of the Company's year 2000 program as well
as the Company's year 2000 contingency planning; the Company's estimated cost of
achieving year 2000 readiness; and the Company's belief that the Company's
internal systems and equipment will be year 2000 ready in a timely and
appropriate manner. All forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and
uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the
projected results. Factors that may cause those differences include availability
of information technology resources; customer demand for the Company's products
and services; continued availability of materials, services, and data from the
Company's suppliers; the ability to identify and remediate all date sensitive
lines of computer code and to replace embedded computer chips in affected
systems and equipment; the failure of others to timely achieve appropriate year
2000 readiness; and the actions or inaction of governmental agencies and others
with respect to year 2000 problems.
RISK THAT THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK MAY BE DEEMED A "PENNY STOCK."
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."

<PAGE>
PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS - THE UNAUTHORIZED USE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
BY THIRD PARTIES MAY HARM THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS.
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.
PROSECUTING ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS COULD BE EXPENSIVE
AND, IF THE COMPANY IS NOT SUCCESSFUL, COULD DISRUPT ITS BUSINESS.
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.
Further, the Company's patents are U.S. patents, and the Company does not
have patent protection outside the United States. The Company will be unable to
obtain patent protection in most non-U.S. jurisdictions, including Europe and
Japan. Some competitors may have non-U.S. operations where U.S. Patent rights
are not effective which could permit competitors to infringe on the Company's
proprietary rights without violating U.S. law.
The Company anticipates, based on the size and sophistication of its
competitors and the history of rapid technological advances in its industry,
that several competitors may be working to develop the Company's patented
technology. The Company intends to closely monitor any infringement of the
Company's proprietary rights. Competitors may have patent applications in
progress in the United States that, if issued, could relate to the Company's
products. If such patents were to issue, there can be no assurance that the
patent holders or licensees will not assert infringement claims against the
Company or that such claims will not be successful. The Company could incur
substantial costs in defending itself and its customers against any such claims,
regardless of the merits of such claims. Parties making such claims may be able
to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief which could effectively block the
Company's ability to sell its products, and each claim could result in an award
of substantial damages. In the event of a successful claim of infringement, the
Company and its customers may be required to obtain one or more licenses from
third parties. There can be no assurance that the Company or its customers could
obtain necessary licenses from third parties at a reasonable or acceptable cost
or at all. Patent litigation could be very expensive, and there is no assurance
that it would not have an adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.
16
<PAGE>
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
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.
THE COMPANY IS DEPENDANT ON CERTAIN 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.
IF THE COMPANY IS UNABLE TOO HIRE AND RETAIN NECESSARY SPECIALIZED KEY PERSONNEL
THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS AND GROWTH WILL SUFFER.
Although the management of the Company is committed to the business and
continued development and growth of the business, the addition 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.
IF THE COMPANY IS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN ADEQUATE LEVELS OF INVENTORY THE COMPANY'S
BUSINESS MAY BE DISRUPTED.
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.
IF THE COMPANY IS UNABLE TO MARKET ITS PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ITS BUSINESS WILL
SUFFER.
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.
IF THE GOVERNMENT IMPLEMENTS NEW OR ADDITIONAL REGULATIONS IN THE INDUSTRY IN
WHICH THE COMPANY OPERATES, THESE REGULATIONS MAY BE COSTLY OR DIFFICULT FOR THE
COMPANY TO COMPLY WITH AND COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF SALE.
While the Company is unaware of any new regulations being contemplated by
the subject agencies, it remains possible that these agencies could institute
new guidelines which could affect all similar companies in this field. The
implementation of new regulatory compliance factors could restrict sales of
certain products. Additional testing could be required and such additional
testing could cause delays in the introduction of products into certain market
sectors, which delays could adversely affect the Company's revenues.
17
<PAGE>
IF THE COMPANY DOES NOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING IT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO
IMPLEMENT ALL OF ITS BUSINESS PLAN.
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.
COMPETITION AND RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE COULD HARM THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS.
The industry in which the Company operates is highly competitive, rapidly
growing and the Company will have to compete with a multitude of similar
companies, possessing substantially greater financial, personnel, technological
and marketing resources. It is particularly difficult for small independent
companies to compete with such major companies in the automobile industries,
fabric manufacturers, mills, etc. There is no assurance that the Company will be
able to compete in such an environment.
SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT THAT THE COMPANY CAN CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
The Company expects to continue to incur significant capital expenses in
pursuing its plans to increase sales volume, the expansion of its product line
and to obtain additional financing through stock offerings or other feasible
financing alternatives. Additional financing may not be available on terms
favorable to the Company, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are
not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to execute its
business plan or take advantage of business opportunities. The ability of the
Company to obtain such additional financing and to achieve its operating goals
is uncertain. In the event that the Company does not obtain additional capital
or is not able to increase cash flow through the increase of sales, there is a
substantial doubt of its being able to continue as a going concern.

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.
Not required.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
