                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The financial statements of ConMat Technologies, Inc. ("ConMat") as of September
30, 1999 and for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 and
related footnote information are unaudited. All adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) have been made which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for a fair presentation. Results of operations for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for any future period.

NOTE B - CHANGES IN SECURITIES

On June 29, 1999, Polychem Corporation, the wholly owned subsidiary of ConMat
("Polychem"), foreclosed on a note due it from The Eastwind Group, Inc.
("Eastwind") due to default by Eastwind on the obligation. As settlement,
Polychem took possession of 313,333 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock of ConMat which had been pledged as collateral. The transaction was
recorded as a reduction in outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Shares.

NOTE C - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

ConMat reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.
128, Earnings Per Share. SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of basic and diluted
earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in
computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution
and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the
weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings
per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted
into common stock.

The following are basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the
periods presented:

"Cost of Goods Sold" is determined as the sum of material costs, direct
manufacturing labor costs, and an allocation of utilities and other overhead
costs attributable to manufacturing activities.

Total revenues increased by $288,000 or 11.4% to $2,805,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1999 ("Current Quarter") from $2,517,000 for the three
months September 30, 1998 ("Comparable Quarter"). This increase is attributable
to Polychem's successful effort to increase market penetration internationally
where it has previously done business as well as increased volume from the
domestic market. As a result of these efforts, Polychem entered the Current
Quarter with an order backlog of $6,134,000 compared to $4,766,000 for the
Comparable Quarter, an increase of 29%. This increased backlog is the basis for
increased revenues.

Gross profit increased by $193,000 or 25.8% to $941,000 for the Current Quarter
from $748,000 for the Comparable Quarter. Gross profit increased as a percentage
of sales to 33.5% for the Current Quarter from 29.7% for the Comparable Quarter.
These increases are a result of increased utilization of existing plant capacity
as the result of which increased production did not require substantial
increases in manufacturing costs, as well as the ongoing effect of several cost
saving measures implemented by management. These measures include improved
productivity as a result of mechanization through new equipment purchases. This
increase in productivity allows Polychem to maintain the same level of
production with lower direct labor costs (wages expended on skilled and
unskilled workers that are allocated directly to a particular unit). While
difficult to quantify, improved productivity arising from the purchase of new
automated machinery should yield approximately $25,000 to $37,500 in quarterly
cost savings. Further, Polychem has internalized previously outsourced
production resulting in lower material costs. Management estimates cost savings
of $12,500 to $25,000 quarterly from this reduced outsourcing.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased by $23,000, or 3.4% to $646,000
for the Current Quarter from $669,000 for the Comparable Quarter. As a
percentage of revenues, selling and administrative expenses decreased to 23.0%
for the Current Quarter from 26.6% of total revenues for the Comparable Quarter.
Management is closely monitoring selling and administrative expenses and expects
such expenses to decrease as a percentage of sales in future periods due to
expected increased revenues due to the realization of benefits from expenditures
made in late 1997 and early 1998 in an effort to increase Polychem's global
sales focus, including the hiring of additional sales personnel. As the efforts
of Polychem's global sales force progress, Polychem anticipates increased
revenues without significant increases in selling and

                                        9


<PAGE>



administrative expenses.  This is reflected in the decrease in selling and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues experienced in the Current
Quarter.

Interest expense for the Current Quarter increased $18,000 or 14.6%, to $141,000
from $123,000 for the Comparable Quarter. This higher cost reflects ConMat's
increased borrowing on its working capital line to finance increased receivables
and inventory arising from increased volume. Interest costs as a percentage of
total revenues increased to 5.0% in the Current Quarter compared to 4.9% in the
Comparable Quarter.

ConMat realized a profit of $79,000 and a net cash surplus of $18,000 for the
Current Quarter. For the Comparable Quarter, ConMat experienced a loss of
$205,000 and a net cash surplus of $269,000. The improved profitability is a
direct result of increased revenues. At the current level of revenues, ConMat is
operating above its break-even point. The decrease in net cash realized is the
result of both a single receivable of approximately $1.3 million for which
payment has been delayed by ninety days and the reduction of outstanding trade
payables of $265,000 from proceeds of the mortgage financing. ConMat expects to
collect a material portion of this receivable by year-end.

Total revenues increased by $1,878,000 or 27% to $8,798,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 ("Current Period") from $6,920,000 for the nine months
September 30, 1998 (Comparable Period"). This increase is attributable to
Polychem's successful effort to increase market penetration internationally
where it has previously done business as well as increased volume from the
domestic market. In the Current Period, Polychem realized revenues in excess of
$500,000 from international markets in which it had previously never consummated
sales. This included $400,000 in South America, primarily Columbia, and over
$100,000 in the Middle East, including Egypt and Dubai. Additionally, Polychem
realized increased domestic revenues, primarily out of the West and Southwestern
regions of the United States where there has been increased spending on water
treatment projects and where Polychem has a strong marketing presence.

Gross profit increased by $809,000 or 46.3% to $2,557,000 for the Current Period
from $1,748,000 for the Comparable Period. Gross profit increased as a
percentage of sales to 29.1% for the Current Period from 25.3% for the
Comparable Period. These increases are a result of increased utilization of
existing plant capacity as the result of which increased production did not
require substantial increases in manufacturing costs, as well as the ongoing
effect of several cost saving measures implemented by management. These measures
include improved productivity as a result of mechanization through new equipment
purchases. This increase in productivity allows Polychem to maintain the same
level of production with lower direct labor costs (wages expended on skilled and
unskilled workers that are allocated directly to a particular unit). While
difficult to quantify, improved productivity arising from the purchase of new
automated machinery should yield approximately $100,000 to $150,000 in annual
cost savings. Further, Polychem has internalized previously outsourced
production resulting in lower material costs. Management estimates cost savings
of $50,000 to $100,000 annually from this reduced outsourcing.

Selling and administrative expenses increased by $123,000, or 7.4% to $1,775,000
for the Current Period from $1,652,000 for the Comparable Period. This increase
reflects one-time charges of $88,000 related to the Polychem acquisition. As a
percentage of revenues, however, selling and administrative expenses decreased
to 20.2% for the Current Period from 23.8% of total revenues for the Comparable
Period. Management is closely monitoring selling and administrative expenses and
expects such expenses to decrease as a percentage of sales in future periods due
to expected increased revenues due to the realization of benefits from
expenditures made in late 1997 and early 1998 in an effort to increase
Polychem's global sales focus, including the hiring of additional sales
personnel. As the efforts of Polychem's global sales force progress, Polychem
anticipates increased revenues without significant increases in selling and

administrative expenses.  This is reflected in the decrease in selling and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues experienced in Current
Period.

Interest expense for the Current Period increased $45,000 or 13.2%, to $385,000
from $340,000 for the Comparable Period. This higher cost reflects ConMat's
increased borrowing on its working capital line to finance increased receivables
and inventory arising from increased volume. Interest costs as a percentage of
total revenues declined to 4.4% in the Current period compared to 4.8% in the
Comparable Period.

                         Liquidity and Capital Resources

ConMat realized a profit of $220,000 and a net cash surplus of $26,000 for the
Current Period. For the Comparable Period, ConMat experienced a loss of $464,000
and a net cash surplus of $186,000. The improved profitability is a direct
result of increased revenues. At the current level of revenues, ConMat is
operating above its break-even point. The decrease in net cash realized is the
result of both a large increase in accounts receivable resulting from increased
volume and a single receivable of approximately $1.3 million for which payment
has been delayed by ninety days. ConMat expects to collect a material portion of
this receivable by year-end.

ConMat's primary source of working capital is a credit facility of up to $5.0
million secured by Polychem's assets with borrowings limited to a percent of
eligible receivables and inventory. As of September 30, 1999, the maximum
borrowing amount was $2,548,000 and the outstanding balance was $2,162,000.
Management believes that ConMat has sufficient assets, equipment and facility to
attain and absorb forecasted growth in revenues. ConMat has no commitments for
significant capital expenditures in the foreseeable future. Management believes
that ConMat's cash and capital resources, together with cash flow from
operations, will be sufficient to finance current and forecasted operations
including its capital spending and research and development needs. ConMat is,
however, actively seeking potential strategic acquisitions and, depending on the
size and terms of any such acquisitions, additional financing, including equity
infusions for ConMat, may be required.

ConMat has completed a mortgage financing with the Public School Retirees
Pension Fund on Polychem's Phoenixville, Pennsylvania property. Proceeds of the
$1.88 million mortgage were used to prepay the majority of the balance of the
outstanding term loan to GE Capital and fund working capital needs. The
financing will result in lower debt service costs and eventually increased
capital reserves.

In addition, at September 30, 1999, ConMat had significant net operating loss
carry forwards which expire in periods up to 2018. ConMat has recorded a
valuation allowance to reflect a net deferred tax asset that management believes
is realizable in future tax years from income from operations. Management's
expectations with respect to the realization of the net deferred tax asset are
based on the realization of a net profit for the Current Period, the current
operation of ConMat above its break-even point and Polychem's significant booked
order backlog. However, no assurances can be given that ConMat will generate
sufficient profits to utilize the net operating loss carry forwards. If ConMat
is unable to realize the net deferred tax asset, it will be charged off as an
expense and removed as an asset from ConMat's consolidated balance sheet.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, ConMat realized net cash from
all sources of $26,000. During the same period, ConMat saw an increase in
operating capital requirements of $1,116,000. This increased requirement was
generated primarily from an increase in accounts receivable of $1,849,000
resulting from increased revenues and delay in payment of a single $1.3 million
receivable. This increase in accounts receivable was offset by an increase in
accounts payable of $245,000. ConMat's operating capital needs for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 was sufficiently financed by its current credit
facility. Cash flow from investing activities included expenditures for new
equipment of $40,000. Financing activities included proceeds from the mortgage
financing of 1,880,000 with a corresponding repayment of principal on
outstanding debt of $1,248,000. ConMat had net borrowings of $764,000 reflecting
primarily draws on its working capital line to fund its working capital
requirements.

Year 2000 Compliance

Changing from the year 1999 to 2000 has the potential to cause problems in data
processing and other date-sensitive systems. The Year 2000 date change can
affect any system that uses computer software programs or computer chips,
including automated equipment and machinery. The Year 2000 problem is the result
of computer programs using two digits rather than four to define the year. Any
of Polychem's programs that are time sensitive may recognize a date using "00"
as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a major system
failure or miscalculations. At Polychem, computer systems are used to run all
administrative and key design and manufacturing functions. Computer software and
computer chips also are used to run security systems, communications networks
and other essential equipment. Because of its reliance on these systems,
Polychem is following a process to assure that such systems are ready for the
Year 2000 date change.

In June 1998, Polychem entered into an agreement with IBM Corporation and IBM's
authorized software licensee for systems, CNA Systems, Incorporated. Polychem
entered into the agreement, in part, to initiate a Year 2000 plan to ensure that
Polychem's existing information

                                       13




<PAGE>



systems were Year 2000 compliant. In connection with the agreement, Polychem has
upgraded its computer system from an IBM System 36 AS/400 and has purchased new
software applications relating to sales and marketing, manufacturing, financial
management, materials management, quality control and management information
support systems.

During the fourth quarter of 1998, Polychem commenced the editing and
reprogramming of its existing databases. During the first quarter of 1999,
Polychem commenced testing of inter- modular software applications, using the
revised databases. Polychem is currently running parallel with this system and
will complete its Year 2000 preparation by December 1, 1999. In connection with
the foregoing, Polychem has completed its assessment of which systems and
equipment are most prone to placing Polychem at risk if they are not Year 2000
compliant (i.e., mission critical systems).

Significant vendors have been requested to advise Polychem in writing of their
Year 2000 readiness, including actions to become compliant if they are not
already compliant. Vendors who provide significant technology-related services
to Polychem have modified their system to become Year 2000 compliant. The
monitoring of certain vendors will continue into the remainder of 1999.

Polychem has completed contingency plan for how Polychem would resume business
if unanticipated problems arise from non-performance by vendors.

Polychem spent $125,000 during the year ending December 31, 1998 and $45,000
during the nine months ended September 30, 1999, relating to costs incurred as a
result of its Year 2000 Plan. Polychem anticipates incurring approximately
$10,000 in additional costs related to the implementation of the Year 2000 plan.
Management presently believes the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant
operating problems for Polychem. However, if implementation and testing plans
are not completed in a satisfactory and timely manner by Polychem or third
parties on which Polychem is dependent, or other unforeseen problems arise, the
Year 2000 issue could potentially have an adverse effect on the operations of
Polychem.

PART II

Item 1.           Legal Proceedings.

                  ConMat is currently a defendant in a Pennsylvania state court
                  action filed on January 28, 1999, captioned John R. Thach v.
                  The Eastwind Group, et al. (Montgomery County C.C.P., Civil
                  Action No. 99- 01195). Plaintiff maintains that Eastwind, his
                  former employer, breached the terms of his severance agreement
                  and that the sale of Polychem to ConMat was part of a
                  conspiracy to avoid payments to him and has violated
                  Pennsylvania's Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act. The plaintiff
                  seeks damages of at least $350,0000 and punitive damages of at
                  least $500,000. In addition, the plaintiff seeks to have the
                  acquisition of Polychem declared null and void and to have a
                  receiver appointed to oversee the affairs of Eastwind,
                  Polychem and ConMat. Among the other named defendants is Paul
                  A. DeJuliis, President of ConMat and the former Chief
                  Executive Officer of Eastwind.

                  Initially, the plaintiff sought a temporary restraining order
                  and preliminary injunction seeking to set aside the sale of
                  Polychem to ConMat. By Order dated February 19, 1999, the
                  Court denied plaintiff's request for injunctive relief. ConMat
                  and Paul A. DeJuliis subsequently filed preliminary objections
                  to the complaint seeking to have themselves dismissed as
                  parties to the action. The parties have submitted briefs
                  relating to ConMat's preliminary objections and a decision by
                  the Court is pending.

Item 2.           Changes in Securities.

                  None.

Item 3.           Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

                  Not Applicable.
