                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Stockholder
Reifsneider Transportation, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the related statements of
operations, stockholder's equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Reifsneider Transportation, Inc.
("Reifsneider") at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of Reifsneider's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.      ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

                  Reifsneider Transportation, Inc. ("Reifsneider") a
        Pennsylvania corporation, is a commercial and industrial non-hazardous
        liquid waste transportation and disposal services company servicing
        customers in eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and
        New York.

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

                  A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in
        the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - Reifsneider considers all highly liquid
        investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of
        purchase as cash equivalents.

        PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment are recorded at cost and
        are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
        lives of 5 to 8 years for machinery and equipment, 4 to 10 years for
        furniture and fixtures, and 4 to 6 years for transportation equipment.
        When depreciable property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the
        related assets and accumulated depreciation are removed from the
        accounts and any resultant gain or loss is included in operations.

        OTHER ASSETS - Goodwill, which represents the excess of the cost of a
        purchased company over the fair value of its net assets at the date of
        acquisition, is being amortized using the straight-line method over 40
        years.

        INCOME TAX STATUS - Reifsneider, with the consent of its shareholder,
        has elected under the Internal Revenue Code to be an S corporation. A
        similar election has been made for state tax purposes. In lieu of
        corporate income taxes, the shareholders of an S corporation are taxed
        on their proportionate share of Reifsneider's taxable income.
        Therefore, no provision for federal or state income tax has been
        included in the financial statements.

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued

        CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK - Financial instruments which potentially
        subject Reifsneider to concentrations of credit risk consist principally
        of cash and receivables. However, at December 31, 1998 and 1997,
        Reifsneider had deposits held in banking institutions in excess of
        federally insured limits of approximately $585,000 and $230,000,
        respectively. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade
        receivables are limited due to the Reifsneider's large number of
        customers.

        REVENUE RECOGNITION - Reifsneider recognizes revenues as services are
        provided.

        USE OF ESTIMATES - In preparing Reifsneider's financial statements in
        conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is
        required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
        amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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.

3.      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

                  For the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, Reifsneider
        was owed $123,679 and $337,156, respectively, from related companies.
        No interest is charged, and advances, are due on demand.

                  For the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, Reifsneider
        was owed $91,856 and $170,515, respectively, from the sole
        stockholder. No interest is charged, and advances are due on demand.

                  For the years ended December 31, 1997, Reifsneider owed a
        former shareholder $402,692. Interest was being charged at 10%, and
        advances are due on demand.

                   UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
       Introduction to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements


Effective March 1, 1999, EarthCare Company, ("EarthCare") acquired all of the
outstanding capital stock of Reifsneider Transportation Inc. ("Reifsneider"), a
Pennsylvania corporation, in exchange for $5,050,000 in cash, 350,000 shares of
EarthCare common stock, the delivery of a $200,000 note payable to the former
owner of Reifsneider and a final working capital adjustment, as defined in the
Stock Purchase Agreement. This transaction was consummated pursuant to a Stock
Purchase Agreement, dated February 26, 1999. Reifsneider is a commercial and
industrial non-hazardous liquid waste transportation and disposal services
company servicing customers in eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, New
Jersey and New York. EarthCare currently intends to operate Reifsneider in
substantially the same manner as it was operated prior to this transaction.
EarthCare funded the cash portion of purchase price with borrowings under
EarthCare's revolving credit facility with Bank of America National Trust and
Savings Association. The total purchase price was determined based upon an
evaluation of the business of Reifsneider and the results of negotiations
between the parties. The Reifsneider acquisition and related financing is
referred to herein as the "Transaction."

The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of December 31,
1998, and the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year
then ended give effect to the Transaction using the purchase method of
accounting as well as other pro forma adjustments as outlined in the notes to
unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. These unaudited pro forma
combined financial statements present EarthCare and give effect to the
Transaction with EarthCare and other significant purchase business combinations
consummated since January 1, 1998, as if the transactions had been consummated
as of the beginning of 1998. The unaudited pro forma combined financial
statements also give effect to EarthCare's merger with Microlytics, Inc.
("Microlytics") on May 13, 1998, which has been accounted for as a capital
transaction accompanied by a recapitalization of EarthCare ("Recapitalization").
EarthCare, the other 1998 purchase business combinations and Microlytics are
hereafter referred to as the "Company." The other 1998 purchase business
combinations are as follows:

EarthCare has preliminarily analyzed the savings that it expects to be realized
from reductions in salaries and certain benefits to the owners. To the extent
the owners of the acquired businesses have agreed prospectively to reductions
in salary, bonuses and benefits, these reductions have been reflected in the
pro forma combined statement of operations. With respect to other potential
cost savings, EarthCare cannot fully quantify these savings at this time. It is
anticipated that these savings will be partially offset by costs related to
EarthCare's corporate management and by the costs associated with being a
public company. These costs cannot be quantified accurately. Accordingly, only
those anticipated savings and costs that are factually supportable have been
included in the accompanying pro forma financial information of the Company.

The pro forma adjustments are based on estimates, available information and
certain assumptions and may be revised as additional information becomes
available. The pro forma financial data do not purport to represent what
EarthCare's results of operations would actually have been if such transactions
in fact had occurred on those dates and are not necessarily representative of
the EarthCare results of operations for any future period. Since neither the
1998 businesses acquired nor Reifsneider were under common control or
management, historical combined results may not be comparable to, or indicative
of, future performance. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the historical Reifsneider financial
statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein.
