Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1. UNAUDITED INFORMATION
The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2000 and the
consolidated statements of operations for the nine month periods ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 were taken from the Company's books and
records without audit. However, in the opinion of management, such
information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
accruals) which are necessary to properly reflect the consolidated
financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2000 and the
results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
and 1999.
Certain information and notes included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted, although management believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be achieved for and entire year. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes to financial statements included in the Company's financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1999.
NOTE 2. DUE TO RELATED COMPANY

the Company. Kentucky advances funds and makes payments on behalf

Management Discussion
As at September 30, 2000
The events of this quarter reflect the beginning of the transition
from a Company under development to an operating entity. In prior
periods, the Company has established the credentials of the technology
through independent testing and has built a pilot plant to demonstrate
the viability of the technology. This facility also serves as a
platform for refinement and enhancement of the rubber activation
manufacture process. The evolving operations require centralized
direction and this requirement has been addressed by the Company
through selection of Nashville, Tennessee as head office.
Competent management, effective strategy and adequate resources must
compliment viable technology in order to build a viable business.
Marginal participants with a high rate of business failure have
characterized the rubber recycling industry. Company management
has designed a strategy to neutralize the effects of these failures
and accelerate the growth of the Company through prudent acquisition
of discounted infrastructure and resources.
The Comapny has expanded the management team with engagement of Mike
Elles-VP Business Development, Bill Klingensmith-VP Market Development,
Paul Standley-VP Technology, Bob Phillips-VP Operations and
Dan McVicker-VP General Counsel. The Company is confident that
accumulation of this array of competence is unique in the world of
rubber recycling. We believe that the ability to attract this caliber
of management talent is an attestation to the veracity of the technology
and an expression of faith in the integrity of the technology
implementation strategy.
The Company was also successful during the quarter in achieving
effectiveness of full reporting status under the Securities Act of 1933.
While this process extended longer than anticipated, the Company is
pleased that the result of the review process is a public document
that clearly reflects the evolution of the Company and forms a solid
foundation for future filings by the Company. In preparation for
pending corporate developments, the Company has commenced restructuring
of the Board of Directors. The addition of Mr. Carl Buccellato
significantly enhances the public company administration depth of
experience. Mr. Buccellato has been a leading participant in a number
of prominent public companies and currently serves as a director and
mentor of several pubcos. The appointment of Mr. Dan McVicker to the
board provides a solid source of legal guidance, enhances the Company's
ability to understand and adhere to securities regulations and assists
the Company in addressing potential corporate liability issues.
The Company concluded the quarter with participation in the review
and registration ceremony of the Guangzhou Research Institute for
Utilization of Reclaimed Resources' new "penetrating" devulcanization
technology "RU" rubber, held in Guangzhou, P.R. China. This unique
technology achieves a very high level of devulcanization while maintaining
a significant level of chemical, physical and dynamic properties.
The Company intends to evolve through strategic acquisition and
development in three core areas of business activities: 1) Production
of activated rubber materials in sheet, powder and compound forms,
2) Production of value added products from crumb rubber, fine powders,
fiber and steel, and 3) Production of processing systems and equipment
for rubber reduction and manufacture. The Company is confident that
significant advancement of these core business activities will occur
as the Company moves through the last quarter of 2000.
The Company currently has no revenues as it is in the development
stage. Monthly cash requirements to continue development and the
recruitment of a full operating management team is approximately
$200,000. It is the intention of the Company to continue development
as described above. Financing of acquisitions or plant expansions
will be by means of private offerings of equity and debt securities
or from bank or other traditional means of financing.

OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On December 15, 1999, the Company filed a complaint in the Supreme
Court of British Columbia (file no. C996620) against Walter Brandl,
Dr. F. Kui Lim Lu, Peter Lochhead, Pollutec Resources Inc.,
GWN Pyrolytic Corp. and Jan Fikkert. Dr. F. Kui Lim Lu beneficially
owns more than five percent of the outstanding common stock of the
Company and is a former director of Rebound Rubber Corp., a subsidiary
of the Company. The complaint alleges: i) intentional interference
by the defendants with intention to induce the Guangzhou Research
Institute to breach its contracts with the Company, ii) breach of
contract by Dr. Lu, iii) conspiracy by the defendants to convert
the Guangzhou Research Institute contracts or opportunity to their
collective or individual benefit, iv) breach of confidence,
v) intentional interference with business relations, and vi) defamation.
The Company seeks monetary and injunctive relief. The defendants
have filed a statement of defense which denies each and every item
in the statement of claim. The proceedings are currently progressing
through production of documents and examinations for discovery.
A trial date of February 12, 2001 has been determined. The Company
intends to vigorously pursue this matter.
Vaughn Interior Concepts Inc. has filed a claim against the Company
(Case No. 00-1407) in connection with a sub contract in Dayton, Ohio.
The Company is prepared to proceed to trial to resolve the dispute
if a settlement is not reached. The total amount of the claim is
approximately $45,000.
