ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
EarthCare Company

In our opinion, the accompanying combined balance sheets and the related
combined statements of operations, stockholder's equity and cash flows present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of
International Petroleum Corporation and Related Entities, as defined in Note 2,
(the "Company") at March 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company'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 auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States, 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.

INTERNATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION
AND RELATED ENTITIES
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.      ORGANIZATION

        OPERATIONS - International Petroleum Corporation and Related Entities
        were wholly-owned subsidiaries of World Fuel Services Corporation
        ("Parent") until February 15, 2000 (See Note 10). The Company collects,
        blends, and recycles non-hazardous petroleum products and petroleum
        contaminated liquids. The recycled oil products are sold primarily to
        industrial and commercial customers throughout the Southern and
        Mid-Atlantic United States.

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

        PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION - The accompanying financial statements
        reflect the combined financial statements of International Petroleum
        Corporation, International Petroleum Corporation of Louisiana,
        International Petroleum of Maryland, International Petroleum Corporation
        of Delaware, International Petroleum Corporation of Georgia,
        International Petroleum Corporation of Lafayette, International
        Petroleum Corporation of Pennsylvania and International Environmental
        Services, Inc. The individual entities share common ownership and
        management and collectively are International Petroleum Corporation and
        Related Entities (the "Company"). All significant intercompany
        transactions have been eliminated.

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

        INVENTORY - Consists of used, virgin and recycled oil and is valued at
        the lower of cost or market.

        PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment are recorded at cost and
        are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
        lives of 10 to 40 years for plant facilities, machinery and equipment, 5
        to 7 years for furniture and fixtures, 5 to 10 years for transportation
        equipment, 5 to 10 years for autos and trucks, 3 to 5 years for computer
        equipment and 40 years for office buildings. 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.

        PREPAID EXPENSES - Prepaid expenses consist of advance payments for
        licenses and vehicle registrations on transportation vehicles and
        consulting contracts. Also included are insurance policies for which
        coverage extends into the following year.

                                      F-6

<PAGE>   9

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued

        INCOME TAXES - The accounts of the Company are included in the
        consolidated income tax return filed by its Parent. The provision for
        income taxes reflected in these combined financial statements is
        calculated on a separate company basis using statutory tax rates with
        the current income tax liability recorded as an increase in Advances
        from Parent.

        CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK - Financial instruments which potentially
        subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist
        principally of cash and receivables. Concentration of credit risk with
        respect to trade receivables are limited due to the Company's large
        number of customers.

        REVENUE RECOGNITION - The Company recognizes revenues as services are
        provided or upon the shipment of recycled oil to customers.

        USE OF ESTIMATES - In preparing the Company'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 March 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company leased
        properties from an officer of its Parent company which totaled
        $103,999 and $99,047, respectively.

        In addition, the Company's Parent performs or administers various
        services on behalf of the Company. The allocated cost of certain
        overhead functions such as payroll services, information technology
        services, telecommunications services, tax services, human resource
        services, and certain accounting services were charged to the Company
        in the amounts of $328,413 and $296,400 during the years ended March
        31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

        Costs for insurance totalling $1,248,631 and $1,124,978 were charged
        to the Company by the Parent during 1999 and 1998, respectively.

        Interest costs totalling $1,648,806 and $1,524,180 were charged to the
        Company by the Parent related to the advance from the Parent during
        1999 and 1998, based on the Parent's bank prime rate.

(b)            Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information required by Article 11 of
Regulation S-X is presented herewith:

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA

On February 15, 2000, EarthCare Company, ("EarthCare") acquired all of the
outstanding capital stock of World Fuel Services Corporation's ("WFS") oil
recycling services division in exchange for $28.0 million in cash and 750,458
shares of EarthCare common stock. The oil recycling services division consists
of International Petroleum Corporation, International Petroleum Corporation of
Louisiana, International Petroleum of Maryland, International Petroleum
Corporation of Delaware, International Petroleum Corporation of Georgia,
International Petroleum Corporation of Lafayette, International Petroleum
Corporation of Pennsylvania and International Environmental Services, Inc. The
individual entities share common ownership and management and collectively are
International Petroleum Corporation and Related Entities ("IPC"). In addition,
concurrently therewith, the Company acquired from an officer of WFS certain
land for approximately $2.0 million. The cash used to fund the IPC and related
land acquisitions was provided by $10.0 million from EarthCare's Credit
Agreement and $20.0 million from EarthCare's 12% subordinated notes. IPC
operates major recycling centers in Wilmington, DE, Plant City, FL, and New
Orleans, LA, and satellite collection centers strategically located near its
customer base. IPC collects and receives, directly from customers, nonhazardous
used oil, oil filters and oily wastewater.

The actual allocation of the purchase price and the resulting effect on income
or loss from operations may differ significantly from the unaudited pro forma
amounts included herein. These unaudited pro forma adjustments represent the
Company's preliminary determination of purchase accounting adjustments and are
based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company
believes to be reasonable. Consequently, the amounts reflected in the Unaudited
Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements are subject to change, and the
final amounts may differ substantially.

The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations
for the year ended December 31, 1999 assumes that the acquisition of IPC took
place on January 1, 1999, the beginning of the Company's fiscal year. The
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet gives pro forma effect to
the acquisition of IPC as if the transaction occurred on December 31, 1999.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma information is presented for illustrative
purposes only and is not indicative of the financial position or results of
operations that may be reported in the future. The accompanying Unaudited Pro
Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with
the historical financial statements and related notes thereto of EarthCare as
reported in the annual Form 10-K and the audited annual and unaudited interim
financial statements of IPC included herein.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.       BACKGROUND

EarthCare Company ("EarthCare") was formed to act as a consolidator of
nonhazardous liquid waste businesses. From its inception on March 19, 1997
through April 28, 2000, EarthCare has acquired 19 businesses.

2.       HISTORICAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The historical financial statements of the businesses acquired were derived
from the respective acquired businesses' financial statements. All acquired
businesses have a December 31 year-end, or their financial results have been
recast to a December 31 year-end. The audited historical financial statements
of IPC are included elsewhere herein and the other 1999 acquired businesses
have been audited, as required, and filed previously with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

3.       UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED BALANCE SHEET ADJUSTMENTS

The acquisition of IPC was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting.
Under purchase accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to the
tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of IPC based upon their
respective fair values as of the closing date based upon valuations and other
studies.

The estimated purchase price and preliminary allocation of the purchase price
in excess of the net assets acquired as a result of the acquisition is as
follows:
