                    KENWICK INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring accruals), which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results
for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested
that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction
with the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1999. The
results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business Activity

The Company operates in two business segments:

In August 1995, upon organization, the Company acquired the assets of American
Video Language Institute, Inc. These assets consisted of the trade name,
trademarks and copyrights needed to produce the English language courses. The
cost of the acquisition was $725,000, which exceeded the fair value of the net
tangible assets acquired by $655,000.

In August 1998, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of
the common stock of Automax USA, Inc., Automax International, Inc. and Automax
USA Finance, Inc. (collectively referred to as "Automax") in exchange for
1,000,000 shares of Kenwick's common stock. This acquisition was accounted for
by the pooling-of-interest method.

Automax is a Florida corporation organized in 1997, and is engaged in the
business of buying, selling and financing used cars in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.

Revenue Recognition

The Company and its subsidiaries utilizes the accrual basis of accounting. Sales
are recorded when products are shipped or when cars are delivered. The Company
recognizes interest on its installment loans receivable over the term of the
loan using the interest method.

</TABLE>

The receivables are collateralized by automobiles. If payments are delinquent,
the Company repossesses the automobiles which are then resold.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained at a level considered adequate
to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. The Company makes
continuous credit reviews of the loan portfolios and considers current economic
conditions, review of specific problem loans, and other factors in determining
the adequacy of its allowances. The Company's charge-off policy is based on a
loan-by-loan review. Since the Company has a short history, historical
information is being developed.

Inventories

Kenwick's inventories consist of blank and completed video tapes and shipping
materials. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined on a
first-in-first-out basis) or market.

Automax's inventories consist of used automobiles held for sale using the
specific identification method. Cost includes acquisition expenses, including
reconditioning and transportation costs. Inventories including parts and
accessories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures for major additions and
improvements are capitalized, while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs
are charged to expense as incurred. When property is retired or otherwise
disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts
and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the Consolidated Statement of
Income.

Depreciation is computed using the straight line method for financial reporting
purposes, and modified accelerated cost recovery system for income tax purposes.
For both methods, the useful lives are 5-7 years.

Deferred income taxes on the difference between tax and book depreciation is
insignificant.

A summary of property and equipment at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999
is as follows:

                                         9/30/00          12/31/99

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist primarily of the cost of the acquired business in
excess of the fair value of the net tangible assets acquired (goodwill). These
costs also include copyrights, trademarks and customer lists.

The intangible assets were being amortized over 15 years, straight line method,
for both financial reporting and federal income taxes.

During the first nine months of 2000, management reviewed its intangible assets
for impairment based on assessments of future operations and recorded an
impairment loss of $18,750.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." Accordingly, deferred income would be provided to
show the effect of temporary differences between the recognition of revenue an
expenses for financial and income tax reporting purposes and between the tax
basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial
statements.

The components of the provision for income taxes for the nine months ended
September 30 are as follows:

                                                       2000        1999

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument represents the amount at which the
instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties
other than in a forced sale or liquidation.

At September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the Company's financial instruments
included cash, receivables, accounts payable and borrowings. The fair values of
the these financial instruments approximated carrying values because of the
short-term nature of the instruments.

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic and dilutive net income (loss) per common share is based on the net income
(loss) divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during each year.

The Company's potential issuable shares of common stock pursuant to outstanding
stock purchase warrants and employee stock options are excluded from the
Company's diluted computation as their effect would be antidilutive. However,
the Company's convertible debentures are included in the computation of diluted
earnings per share since they are dilutive.

NOTE 3 - DUE TO RELATED PARTIES

The Company has loans with various shareholders in the amount of $2,512,760 and
$2,450,976 at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 respectively. The note
calls for principal payments of $20,000 per month commencing November 1, 1998
and on the first day of each month thereafter. The note matures on March 1,
2009. The notes were non-interest bearing until March 1, 1999, at which time
interest is payable at prime plus 1/2%. For the two months, January and February
1999, interest expense of $36,590 was imputed along with a corresponding credit
to additional paid in capital. This charge is in accordance with Staff
Accounting Bulletin Topics 1B and 5T. Interest was calculated at prime plus
1/2%.

The Company is in default regarding the above payments and has obtained a waiver
from the Holder while the terms are being renegotiated.

NOTE 4 - STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY

On June 17, 1999, the Board of Directors along with a majority of the
shareholders amended the Articles of Incorporation increasing its authorized
preferred stock from 1 million to 5 million shares and its par value from $.01
to $.001 per share.

They also increased the authorized common stock from 10 million to 50 million
shares, also changing the par value from $.01 to $.001 per share.

</TABLE>

NET SALES. The Company's revenues increased approximately $1.9 million, or 44%
from approximately $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to
approximately $6.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
Kenwick's sales of language tapes decreased approximately $3,600 while Automax's
sales of automobiles and related income increased approximately $1.9 million.

COSTS. Costs of goods sold were approximately $5.5 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 compared to approximately $3.3 million during the same
period in 1999, representing an increase of approximately $2.2 million, or 68%.
Cost of goods sold increased due largely to management's decision to reduce
older inventory in Automax. Management believes its current inventory will bring
increased margins in the future.

INTEREST INCOME. Interest income increased from approximately $1,648,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 to approximately $2.1 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of 21%. The increase in interest
income is attributable to increased activity at Automax and larger average
accounts receivable balances. Automax's primary business activity is buying,
selling and financing used cars and interest income is a significant source of
income.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses
(including depreciation and amortization) increased approximately $710,000 from
approximately $1,397,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to
approximately $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
Increased reserve for bad debt of nearly $583,000, interest expense of $134,000
and additional rent expense of approximately $79,000 were offset by reductions
of approximately $3,500 of salaries and commissions, $9,000 of advertising and
$7,600 of general office administration costs. The allowance for doubtful
accounts increased to maintain management's estimate of bad debt.

</TABLE>


Net cash flows used in operating activities were approximately $503,000 and
$636,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively.
Cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30,
1999 can be primarily attributed to approximately $747,000 of interest imputed
to discounts on the Company's convertible debentures, an increase of about $1.8
million of accounts receivable, and an increase of $209,000 in inventory offset
by an increase of $494,000 of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Cash
used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 can be
primarily attributed to approximately $316,000 in operating income, a decrease
in inventory of approximately $646,000, an increase in accounts payable and
accrued expenses of $213,000, an increase in income taxes payable of $301,000,
offset by an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $2.1 million.

Cash used in investing activities was approximately $55,000 and $7,000 during
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively. The 1999 and
2000 amounts reflect the acquisition of property and equipment consisting of
office equipment and leasehold improvements.

                                       14

<PAGE>

Cash provided by financing activities was approximately $693,000 and $624,000
during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000 respectively. During
the nine months ended September 30, 1999, approximately $442,000 was raised
through increases in related party loans and $318,000 was raised by the sale of
convertible debentures. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
approximately $217,000 was raised through increases in related party loans, and
$35,000 was contributed from shareholders, increases in notes payable of
approximately $51,000 and sale of common stock of approximately $321,000.

The activities described above resulted in a net increase in cash of about
$136,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and a net decrease of
about $20,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
