PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
General
The company's principal line of business is the full-service processing,
packaging, and storage of shrimp and other seafood. This business is principally
conducted through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Custom Pack, Inc. ("Custom Pack").
The company maintains an Aquaculture Division within Custom Pack, which is
engaged in the production of freshwater prawns. The company also packages and
distributes recreational fishing bait products through its Killer Bee, Inc.
subsidiary.
Custom Pack was incorporated under the laws of the State of Mississippi on
February 15, 1988. Through a reverse merger completed on October 31, 1995,
Custom Pack became a wholly-owned subsidiary of International Custom Pack, Inc.,
the successor in name to predecessor entities Enviro Solutions International,
Inc. and Rue de Rivoli Perfumeries of America, Ltd., incorporated in Nevada on
May 29, 1986. On December 21, 1998 the company changed its name to Global
Seafood Technologies, Inc. to reflect the expansion of business activities
beyond the core business of seafood processing and packaging. The expanded
activities include production of seafood, and processing, packaging, and
distribution of bait products for recreational fishing.
Industry Overview and Competition
According to data provided by the United Nations Food and Agricultural
Organization, the annual worldwide market for seafood products is in excess of
$50 billion, of which the United States market is approximately $8 billion.
Consumption demand for seafood products, and principally shrimp, has risen
steadily throughout the last two decades.
The worldwide market for shrimp is the largest segment of the industry at
$30 billion. The United States shrimp market was estimated at $2.5 billion.
Shrimp is the number one seafood in this country, with annual consumption
averaging 2.7 lbs per person in 1997. Approximately 75% of the shrimp consumed
worldwide are caught in the oceans, and about 25% are grown in aquaculture.
The seafood industry is very fragmented. It is characterized by thousands
of suppliers and middlemen throughout the distribution chain from product
procurement, to wholesale distributors, and to retail food stores or
restaurants. Seafood is sold fresh or frozen in blocks or by IQF (Individual
Quick Freeze) methods. The company is one of the IQF (Individual Quick Freeze)
processors of seafood in the United States.
There is no major player in the seafood industry that commands a
significantly large market share, creates a nationally recognized brand name, or
establishes descriptive product standards. Products like shrimp are sold on a
commodity-type basis with little uniformity of size or species. Restaurants,
supermarkets, and other outlets buy a variety of products from a variety of
suppliers. Product availability and consistency of quality are important factors
in the service provided.

<PAGE>
The company does not operate under government contracts or other long-term
contracts and has no backlog.
The recreational bait industry represents a $1.0 Billion sales market
annually in the United States, according to Department of Commerce Wildlife and
Fisheries 1996 data. The company is not aware of any single dominant company or
nationally recognized brand name for bait products.
Statutory and Regulatory Changes
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point ("HACCP") regulations took
effect in the seafood processing industry in December 1997. The company's plants
were in compliance in advance of the effective date and are fully approved.
Compliance with HACCP will not affect the company's operations, but compliance
may affect competition, which might not be in the same position.
The discharge of water wastes from company facilities is in full
compliance with existing government regulations and standards. The company does
not envision that any significant capital expenditures will be required for
environmental control procedures for the foreseeable future.
Company Strategy
In its core business activities, the company has established itself to
provide an increasing variety of seafood items, which are of consistent quality
and are conveniently packaged for commercial or consumer use. The company will
continue to focus on packaging innovations and value-added specialty entrees to
expand sales and increase margins in these areas.
The recreational bait segment of the business is seen as offering great
potential to utilize the established business strengths of the company in
procuring and processing bait products, and in making the products available
through distribution to convenient outlets.
As a long term strategy, the company will entertain strategic mergers and
acquisitions of both processing and sales entities, which would increase market
share, improve profit margins, and facilitate unified marketing efforts that
create brand identification.
Products and Services
The company's core operations involve the utilization of state-of-the-art
equipment for IQF (Individual Quick Freeze) freezing, processing, and packaging
of frozen shrimp and seafood. The products are distributed to many of the
nation's largest seafood restaurant chains and retail grocery outlets. This
business is conducted through the Custom Pack subsidiary.
The seafood products and packaging are well developed. Frozen,
headless shrimp (with shell on) is the principal product processed, which is
frequently packaged in consumer friendly, one pound and two pound packages.
Peeled shrimp is also processed under private labels for customers or for
distribution to restaurants. Frozen fish fillets are packaged for distribution,
as

well. For the respective periods of the fiscal year ending March 31, 1999 and
the interim nine months ending December 31, 1999, this segment accounted for
99.9% and 93.2% of revenues.
In 1997 the company acquired Co Mar Foods, which produces breaded and
stuffed shrimp, stuffed lobster, cooked shrimp rings (with cocktail sauce) and
other value-added, ready-to-cook, ready-to-eat seafood products. The products
produced at Co Mar Foods are in the process of being integrated into Custom Pack
during the March 31, 2000 fiscal year.
The company's Aquaculture subsidiary is engaged in the development of farm
grown seafood, principally freshwater prawns, at its facility in Ocean Springs,
MS, which was acquired in 1997. The facility hatches and nurses shrimp larvae
for stocking in ponds operated by independent growers in Mississippi. Revenues
from this segment are not presently significant, accounting for 0.01% in the
fiscal year and 0.18% in the interim nine months period.
In 1998 the principals of the company developed a full line of branded
frozen bait products for recreational fishermen. These products include
varieties of bait shrimp, catfish bait, eels, cut squid, cigar minnows,
ballyhoo, frozen chum, and menhaden oil. In April, 1999 this activity was
incorporated as a wholly-owned subsidiary, Killer Bee, Inc., and was
consolidated into the company. The products are packaged in the Custom Pack
facility and in contracted independent facilities in Pascagoula, MS. The "Killer
Bee Bait" name is a registered trade name, and the products are sold through Wal
Mart, K Mart, and independent marinas and bait stores. For the interim nine
months period, Killer Bee accounted for 6.66% of total revenues of the company.
Marketing
All of the company's sales were to the United States for the last three
fiscal years. Foreign or export sales are not expected to be a material factor
in future revenues.
Customer Support
For fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, one customer, Ocean To Ocean Seafood
Sales, generated 85% of total revenues for the year. For the fiscal years ended
March 31, 1998, the sales to two customers, Ocean To Ocean Seafood Sales and
Seacoast Foods, amounted to 25% and 22%. For the fiscal years ended March 31,
1999, the sales to these two customers amounted to 36% and 32%. In the opinion
of management, the loss of these customers would have a material, short-term
impact on the company, but this business could be generated from other sources,
if necessary. All significant sales were in the seafood packaging and processing
segment.
Suppliers
Seafood products are readily available in the domestic and international
markets. Company operations rely on outside sources for seafood product. Current
product is usually purchased at the dock source or trucked in for processing.
Buying agents are employed in the States along the South Atlantic Coast and Gulf
of Mexico from North Carolina to Texas. The company also imports seafood from
Asia and Central and South America. The aquaculture
4
<PAGE>
subsidiary does not supply a material amount of product to the company, but it
is the company's intention to develop this business as a consistent source of
supply for the future.
In fiscal year ending March 31, 1996 no supplier accounted for more than
10% of purchases. In fiscal year ending March 31, 1997 , two suppliers accounted
for a total of 27% and 16% of purchases, respectively. In fiscal year ending
March 31, 1998 , three suppliers accounted for a total of 26%, 15%, and 15% of
purchases, respectively. In fiscal year ending March 31, 1999 , these three
suppliers accounted for a total of 22%, 15%, and 12% of purchases, respectively.
In the opinion of management, the loss of these suppliers would have a material,
short-term impact on the company, but the purchases could be generated from
other sources, if necessary. All significant purchases were in the seafood
packaging and processing segment.
The company utilizes many of the supply sources for its seafood products
to supply the "Killer Bee Bait" line of bait products. Because of its
established sources of supply for seafood products and the relative volume of
existing business, the company believes that it is in a position to acquire
abundant supplies of recreational fishing bait products to support this line of
business.
Proprietary Rights
The company has acquired a federally-registered service mark for the
"Killer Bee Bait" name and for its bait products. In addition, the company
relies upon common law rights to establish and protect its intellectual
property. There can be no assurance that the company's measures to protect its
intellectual property will deter or prevent the unauthorized use of the
company's intellectual property. If the company is unable to protect its
intellectual property rights, including existing trademarks and service marks,
it could have a material adverse effect upon the company's results of
operations.
Regulation
The terms and conditions under which the Company prepares, packs and
distributes its seafood products are subject to government regulation. Federal
laws and FTC regulations apply to interstate distribution of frozen seafood
products, while particular state regulatory authorities have jurisdiction over
seafood distribution and sale within their borders.
Employees
As of October 31, 1999 there were approximately 120 persons employed by
the Company. This number does not include its independent commission salesmen,
who are classified by the Company as independent contractors rather than
employees. The Company's employees are not unionized, and the Company believes
that its relationship with its employees is good.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
The following discussion is provided to afford the reader an understanding
of the major elements of the Company's financial condition, results of
operation, capital resources and liquidity. It should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto and other information appearing
elsewhere in this Registration Statement.

<PAGE>
Overview
The core seafood packaging business of the company does not require
significant inventory requirements, as products are either sold immediately from
processing or are packaged for third-party accounts. However, subsequent to
March 31, 1999, the Company acquired Killer Bee, Inc. and began packaging and
distributing frozen bait products for the recreational fishing industry. The
recreational bait products require that the company acquire, process, and have
available for distribution an adequate supply of product in inventory. As this
segment of business expands, the company's relative levels of inventory will
expand accordingly. The balance sheet as of December 31, 1999 reflects an
increase in inventory from $-0- at March 31, 1999 to $533,304 due to the
operations of Killer Bee.
Subsequent to its fiscal year end, the Company entered into several
financial transactions which provided additional liquidity to support the
anticipated growth of inventory and accounts receivable assets (See "Liquidity
and Capital Resources" below).
NET SALES
Net Sales primarily reflects the results of processing and packaging
operations. The amount of revenues recognized in any given year is a function of
whether the products are: a) purchased, processed, and packaged by the Company,
or; b) processed and packaged for third parties on a consignment basis. In the
first instance, revenues would be higher, reflecting the cost of the product,
and in the latter case revenues would only reflect a processing charge. Gross
Margins are relatively unaffected by either scenario, but the reported Net Sales
figures can be greatly affected.
Net Sales for the year ended March 31, 1999 declined from the previous
year from $14,054,926 to $13,841,059. However, Gross Margin increased from
$1,756,514 to $2,138,690 an increase of 21.75%. This increase in Gross Margin
properly reflects the higher level of production activity in the March 31, 1999
year, where gross profits were earned from a higher level of products which were
processed on consignment in that year relative to the previous year. The Company
attributes the increased production activity to the continued expansion of its
customer base for packaged seafood by its Custom Pack subsidiary.
Net Sales for the nine months period ended December 31, 1999 increased
2.0% to $11,300,455 from $11,071,189 in the comparable period ended December 31,
1998. This increase reflects $753,214 in Net Sales from Killer Bee.
Cost of Sales sets forth the processing and packaging costs, including
plant labor, in-bound and out-bound freight, and the raw material (seafood)
costs where the products are processed for the Company's own account. Where
processing is done for third-party account, the raw material (seafood) costs are
not carried on the Company's books. Approximately 20% to 30% of Net Sales is
reflected in processing for third parties, where the Company charges a
processing fee and does not maintain any inventory level of product for its own
account. The decline in Cost of Sales from $12,298,412 to $11,702,369 (minus
4.8%) reflects the higher level of consignment processing in the March 31, 1999
year. The nine months periods ending December 31, 1999 and 1998 reflects in
increase in third party processing from 19% to 32% of
8
<PAGE>
Net Sales. The increase in Gross Margins to 21.7% from 18.7% reflects this
relative increase in processing sales as well as the additional contribution of
Killer Bee products.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $1,275,453 to
$1,672,925, an increase of 31.2% in the latest fiscal year. CoMar Foods was
acquired in October 1997, and therefore approximately $100,000 of the increase
is a direct result of the recognition of a full year's operations of CoMar in
the March 31, 1999 year. The balance of the increase reflects the Company's
investment in expanded corporate overhead in anticipation of future revenue
growth from aquaculture and expanded seafood processing. In comparing December
31, 1999 to 1998, the activities of Killer Bee added $527,303 or 101% of the
$521,844 increase.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSES)
The Company reported Other income of $66,822 and $142,833 in the two
fiscal years ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. For the interim
periods ending December 31, 1999 and 1998 Other Income was $29,911 and $119,611.
Other Income predominantly reflects lease payments received from rental of
Company-owned property to the Casino industry in Biloxi, Mississippi. The
decline during the last fiscal year resulted from the termination of a lease
agreement for parking on land owned by the Company and leased to a casino.
NET INCOME
Net Income from the core business of Custom Pack, Inc. has been used by
the Company to offset operating losses from CoMar Foods and the Aquaculture
Division for the fiscal years ending March 31, 1999 and 1998, when net income
declined from $131,393 to $28,600. In the last fiscal year, losses of $227,734
and $185,340, respectively from those areas, offset $495,400 net profit from
Custom Pack. The Company is integrating the CoMar operations with those of
Custom Pack by transferring packaging and processing operations of CoMar to the
Custom Pack facility to improve the performance of that business. The Company
views the initial losses in the Aquaculture Division as an investment in the
future for the Company. For the interim nine months ending December 31, 1999 the
loss in CoMar Foods was reduced to $99,069 and the Aquaculture Division loss
declined to $61,811. Operations of Killer Bee, also in a beginning phase,
contributed $552,368 to the reported $149,722 net loss for the nine months
period ending December 31, 1999. These operating losses offset $594,210 net
income from Custom Pack. Killer Bee was not included in the December 31, 1998
results. Company expects Killer Bee to be a net income provider in the near
future.
Gain on Sale of Assets
During the fiscal year ending March 31, 1999 the company sold two pieces
of equipment is separate transactions to unrelated parties for cash totaling
$31,000. These assets had a net book value of $5,674, which resulted in a Gain
on Sale of Assets of $25,326.
Seasonality
Because of the availability of seafood throughout the world markets, there
is only a modest seasonal factor for the company's business. Typically, the
Company's operating activities increase slightly during the Spring and Fall
domestic shrimp harvesting seasons,
9
<PAGE>
depending on the abundance of the crop which is found in the wild. The Company
expects that the operations of Killer Bee will demonstrate seasonality which
reflects the higher recreational fishing activities in the warmer months of the
year.
Inflation
The Company's business is not significantly affected by inflation. The
Company anticipates that any increased costs would be passed on to its
customers.
New Products and Services
On April 1, 1999 the company issued 152,564 common shares for the
acquisition of Killer Bee, Inc. assets, brand name and customer lists valued at
$238,000. The number of shares was determined by the share price of $1.56 which
existed at the time of the transaction. Killer Bee packages and distributes over
30 brand name bait products for recreational fishermen. These products are
currently sold along the United States Gulf Coast and the Atlantic coast from
Florida to Virginia through selected K Mart and Wal Mart stores and independent
outlets. The Company believes that these bait products compliment existing
seafood operations and will enhance Net Sales significantly.
On June 25, 1999 the Company purchased the assets and brand name of Drag N
Bait, Inc., for $339,000 cash consideration. The purchase price was determined
by asset values agreed to by the Company and the seller. There was no
affiliation between the parties. Drag N Bait is a recognized supplier of
ballyhoo to the recreational fishing market, particularly in Florida. Ballyhoo
is considered a premium bait product. The operations of Drag N Bait after June
25, 1999 have been consolidated with those of Killer Bee in the nine months
interim financial reports.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The operations of the Company and its subsidiaries have historically been
provided principally from cash flow from operations of Custom Pack. Financing
activities have more recently provided significant capital resources.
OPERATING ACTIVITIES
The Company's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows reported $685,572
generated from Operating Activities in the March 31, 1999 fiscal year.
Depreciation provided $350,639 and net changes in working capital accounts
contributed $334,933. For the nine months ended December 31, 1999, Operation
Activities used $1,317,634 in funds, primarily in increased Accounts Receivable
($546,559) and increased inventories from Killer Bee ($533,304). Depreciation
provided $313,233 in the latest nine month period.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES
The Company purchased additional property and equipment of $475,333 and
$391,535 in the last fiscal years from March 31, 1999 to 1998, respectively.
Sales of property and equipment
10
<PAGE>
generated $31,000 in the latest year only. Purchases of property and equipment
in the December 31, 1999 and 1998 nine month periods were $622,824 and $506,497,
respectively.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Financing activities have become a much more significant source of net
cash for the Company and the expansion of the business activities of its
subsidiaries. $3,290,610 was provided from this source in the nine months ended
December 31, 1999, primarily from $2,792,600 in additional capital contributed.
Net cash of $463,848 was provided in the 1999 fiscal year from Financing
Activities. $100,000 was provided from sale of additional preferred stock, and
$363,848 was provided from net changes in notes payable and lease obligations.
Subsequently, on April 1, 1999 the Company issued 152,564 common shares
for the acquisition of Killer Bee, Inc. assets valued at $238,000. On April 7,
1999 the Company issued 114,800 common shares to buy out the balance of $143,500
in payments due under the outstanding non-compete agreement, and issued 32,000
common shares for services rendered, which had a value of $40,000.
On March 5, 1999 we issued 1,050,000 shares to four investors to be held
in escrow until cash proceeds of $650,000 was received by the company. As of the
date hereof, we received $477,600 and an aggregate of 771,508 shares were
delivered to the investors. We intend on canceling the balance of the
subscriptions and returning 278,492 shares to our treasury.
During April, 1999 we issued 200,000 shares of preferred stock valued at
$10.00 per share and 2,000,000 warrants exercisable at the rate of $1.00 per
share, expiring on July 15, 2001 for $2,000,000 in cash to William Schofield, a
Director of the company. We relied on the exemption from registration at Section
4 (2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for non-public offerings and Rule 506 under
Regulation D. These funds are designated by the Company to support working
capital requirements for the expansion of the Killer Bee bait products.
SUMMARY DISCUSSION OF LIQUIDITY
The net increase in cash from Operating Activities, Investing Activities,
and Financing Activities for the March 31, 1999 fiscal year totaled $705,087.
Subsequent Operating Activities, Investing Activities, and Financing Activities
between March 31 and December 31, 1999 have contributed an additional $1,350,153
in net cash.
Lines of Credit from banks totaling $1,000,000 are available for normal
business activities. $500,000 was outstanding as of December 31, 1999.
ITEM 3. PROPERTIES
The seafood processing and packaging business is conducted through the
Custom Pack subsidiary at its plant located at 555 Bayview Avenue, Biloxi, MS.
The plant facility occupies over 50,000 square feet of floor space, including
processing areas, coolers, and freezers and is on 3.7 acres of property.
11
<PAGE>
Certain value-added, ready-to cook, ready-to-eat food items are packaged
at the company-owned CoMar Foods, Inc. plant location at 10200 Cody Driskell
Road, Irvington, AL. There is 12,800 square feet of processing space on 10 acres
of property.
The company's aquaculture business is conducted at its Ocean Springs, MS
facility, which occupies 25 acres, with 10.7 acres developed, and includes three
geothermal water wells.
Year 2000
The company believes that it has addressed potential technological
concerns related to the "Year 2000". The company hired an independent consultant
to evaluate internal computer needs and "Y2K" compliance, and, as a result, the
company has replaced its computer systems and software within the last year.
Additionally, the company has communicated with its major vendors and customers
and has ascertained their respective readiness to address potential "Y2K"
problems. No problems are expected.
Should the company's freezing and storage capacity be affected by
widespread municipal power shortages, the company would have a period of five to
seven days to address such loss of power through alternative means before any
losses would be experienced.

ITEM 7. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Except as set forth below, there have neither occurred within the
preceding three year period, nor are there pending or proposed, any direct or
indirect material transactions between the Company and any of its directors,
executive officers or controlling shareholders outside the ordinary course of
the Company's business.
On April 1, 1999 the Company issued 152,564 shares of its outstanding
common stock to purchase the assets, brand name, and customer lists of Killer
Bee, Inc., a company jointly controlled by Brent Gutierrez and Clayton
Gutierrez. The acquisition was valued at $238,000, which represented the value
of acquired inventory, as the brand name and customer lists were given no value.
On the same date, the Company granted warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of
common stock (500,000 each) to Brent Gutierrez and Clayton Gutierrez in
connection with such purchase. The number of shares given as consideration as
well as the exercise price of the options granted to the former owners of Killer
Bee, Inc. was determined by the market share price of $1.56 which existed at the
time of the transaction.
During April, 1999 William F. Schofield was elected as a director of the
Company, and he purchased 200,000 shares of preferred stock, which was issued by
the Company for $2,000,000 cash consideration. The 200,000 convertible preferred
shares were issued at the same stated value of $10 per share and under the same
terms as were applicable to preferred shares previously authorized and issued by
the Company.
15
<PAGE>
The company purchases some of its product from a related company, G & G
Trading Company, and derives a portion of its revenues from sales to that
related company. All transactions are at the same prices as with unaffiliated
companies. Invoices to this related company for the nine month period ending
December 31, 1999 totaled $172,586, or 1.5% of Net Revenues for the period.
ITEM 8. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Voting Rights
Each holder of common stock is entitled to cast one vote for each share
held on all issues requiring a shareholder vote, but may not cumulate his, her
or its votes for the election of directors or for any other purpose. The
Company's bylaws authorize the holders of 10% or more of the outstanding capital
stock to call a shareholder meeting, and the Nevada General Corporation Act
separately authorizes a state district court to order the conduct of a
shareholder meeting, upon application of any shareholder, when the Company has
failed to hold an annual meeting within the 30 day period succeeding occurrence
of the last date designated therefore. To the date of this filing, no such
application has been made.

As of October 25, 1999 there were 8,574,246 shares of the company's issued
and outstanding shares which are recorded as restricted on the books of the
transfer agent.
Distributions in Respect of Shareholdings
The Company has not declared or paid a dividend on its common shares.
The future dividend or distribution policy of the Company will be
determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and will depend upon a
number of factors, including future earnings, financial conditions, liquidity
and general business conditions. Each share will participate equally in
dividends or other distributions, which will be payable when and as declared by
the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose.
16
<PAGE>
Liquidation Rights
In any liquidation of substantially all of the Company's assets,
dissolution of its corporate existence or winding up of its operations or
affairs, each holder of one or more common shares of the Company's outstanding
capital stock will be entitled to a ratable portion of all assets available for
distribution after the Company's payment and satisfaction of all of its debts,
liabilities and preferences.
Vote Required to Amend
Under the Nevada General Corporation Act, the Company's Articles of
Incorporation are subject to amendment at any regular or special meeting of the
shareholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
Company's outstanding shares of capital stock, unless the vote of the holders of
a greater number of shares is required by the specific terms of such
Certificate. The Company's Articles of Incorporation contains no such
requirement.
Preemptive Rights
Generally, holders of shares of the Company's capital stock do not have
any preemptive or other right to subscribe for additional shares on a pro rata
basis when and if such additional shares are offered for sale.

paid. Consequently, once issued, the holders of such shares may not be subjected
to further assessment by the Company for the purpose of restoring impaired
capital or otherwise.

GLOBAL SEAFOOD TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
(Formerly International Custom Pack, Inc.)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 1999 and 1998
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Organization
The consolidated financial statements include those of Global
Seafood Technologies, Inc. (formerly International Custom Pack,
Inc.) (ICP) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Custom Pack, Inc. and
CoMar Foods, Inc. Custom Pack, Inc. has a separate division that is
accounted for as the "Aguaculture Division" in the consolidated
financial statements, although it is not a separate subsidiary.
Collectively, they are referred to herein as "the Company".
Global Seafood Technologies, Inc. (GST) was incorporated under the
laws of the State of Nevada on May 29, 1986 under the name of Rue de
Rivoli Perfumeries of America, Ltd. It later changed its name to
Enviro Solutions International, Inc. on November 21, 1994 in
contemplation of a merger with Enviro Solutions International, Inc.
of Utah. The merger was never completed. However, the name was still
changed.
On October 31, 1995, the Company completed an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization whereby GST issued 8,000,000 shares of its common
stock in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of Custom
Pack, Inc. (Custom). Pursuant to the reorganization, the name was
changed to International Custom Pack, Inc. The Company later changed
its name to Global Seafood Technologies, Inc. during 1998.
The reorganization was accounted for as a recapitalization of Custom
because the shareholders of Custom control the Company after the
acquisition. Therefore, Custom is treated as the acquiring entity.
Accordingly, there was no adjustment to the carrying value of the
assets or liabilities of GST. GST is the acquiring entity for legal
purposes and Custom is the surviving entity for accounting purposes.
On October 1, 1997, the Company completed an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization whereby GST issued 422,492 shares of its common stock
and $300,000 of cash in exchange for all of the outstanding common
stock of CoMar Foods, Inc. (CoMar). The acquisition has been
accounted for as a purchase, and the shares issued were recorded at
the market value of the shares on the date of issuance.
GST was incorporated for the purpose of creating a vehicle to obtain
capital to seek out, investigate and acquire interests in products
and businesses which may have a potential for profit.
Custom, a wholly-owned subsidiary, was incorporated under the laws
of the State of Mississippi on February 15, 1988. It was
incorporated for the purpose of being a full service processor,
packager, and storage provider of shrimp and other seafood.
CoMar, a wholly-owned subsidiary, was incorporated under the laws of
the State of Alabama on February 26, 1993. It was incorporated for
the purpose of being a full service processor and packager of shrimp
and other products.
b. Accounting Method
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using
the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a March 31
year end.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
c. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with
maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition. The
Company's cash accounts at its banks are insured by the FDIC up to
$100,000. The amount in excess of the insured limits at March 31,
1999 was $639,845.
d. Basic and Fully Diluted Earnings Per Share
The computations of basic earnings per share of common stock are
based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during
the period of the consolidated financial statements. Common stock
equivalents, consisting of the preferred shares, have been included
in the fully diluted earnings per share.
e. Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include those of Global
Seafood Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Custom
Pack, Inc. and CoMar Foods, Inc. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
f. Inventories
Inventory supplies are stated at the lower of cost (computed on a
first-in, first-out basis) or market. The inventory consists of
seafood, seafood storage bags, packing boxes and other miscellaneous
packaging materials.
g. Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for small
tools, ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
incurred. Major additions and improvements are capitalized.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line and accelerated
methods over estimated useful lives as follows:
Machinery and equipment 5 to 7 years
Furniture and fixtures 5 to 7 years
Buildings 3 to 7 years
Vehicles 5 years
Water well 7 years
h. Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded net of the allowance for doubtful
accounts of $5,886 and $5,886 for the years ended March 31, 1999 and
1998, respectively.
i. Related Party Transactions
The Company purchases some of its product and supplies from a
related company. The amounts owed to this Company at March 31, 1999
and 1998 was $71,583 and $980, respectively.
The Company also sells some of its product to the same related
company. The amounts owed from this company at March 31, 1999 and
1998 was $153,771 and $46,139, respectively.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
j. Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized upon shipment of goods to the customer.
k. 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 the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
l. Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to
the March 31, 1999 financial statement presentation.
m. Advertising
The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising
to expense as incurred.
n. Change in Accounting Principle
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" during the year ended March 31,
1999. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, diluted earnings per share
must be calculated when an entity has convertible securities,
warrants, options, and other securities that represent potential
common shares. The purpose of calculating diluted earnings (loss)
per share is to show (on a pro forma basis) per share earnings or
losses assuming the exercise or conversion of all securities that
are exercisable or convertible into common stock and that would
either dilute or not affect basis EPS. As permitted by SFAS No. 128,
the Company has retroactively applied the provisions of this new
standard by showing the fully diluted earnings per common share for
all years presented.

Non-Compete Agreement (Continued)
Subsequent to March 31, 1999, the Company issued 114,800 shares of
its outstanding common stock in lieu of the future payments required
under the non-compete agreement (see Note 12).
Common Stock Contingency
The Company is aware of numerous possible claims by individuals that
received either through purchase or otherwise, 850,000 forged shares
of the Company's common stock that purport to represent issued and
outstanding shares. The shares are not listed on the Company's
shareholder records and do not represent duly issued and outstanding
shares of the Company's common stock. Although no litigation is
pending in relation to these shares, it is possible that the Company
may have to honor these 850,000 shares of common stock in the
future. The shares have not been recorded by the Company at March
31, 1999 since the ultimate outcome is currently not estimatable.
The Company is also in the process of trying to recover 1,700,000
common shares. The holder of the shares is claiming breach of
contract and claims that he is entitled to the shares. The claim is
currently in litigation and management intends on vigorously
contesting the claim. The Company has filed an answer and a
counterclaim against the holder seeking specific performance of a
settlement agreement previously entered into. While the possibility
that an unfavorable outcome exists, the Company has determined that
the potential loss is remote and fully intends on recovering the
entire 1,700,000 shares. It is remotely possible, however, that the
Company may have to honor these shares in the future, although the
shares have not been recorded by the Company as outstanding shares
as of March 31, 1999.
Leases
The Company has entered into several non-cancelable leases,
accounted for as operating leases, of certain machinery and
equipment used in operations. The minimum future payments required
under the operating leases are as follows:

of Utah. The merger was never completed. However, the name was still
changed.
On October 31, 1995, the Company completed an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization whereby GSFT issued 8,000,000 shares of its common
stock in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of Custom
Pack, Inc. (Custom). Pursuant to the reorganization, the name was
changed to International Custom Pack, Inc. The Company later changed
its name to Global Seafood Technologies, Inc. during 1998.
The reorganization was accounted for as a recapitalization of Custom
because the shareholders of Custom control the Company after the
acquisition. Therefore, Custom is treated as the acquiring entity.
Accordingly, there was no adjustment to the carrying value of the
assets or liabilities of GSFT. GSFT is the acquiring entity for
legal purposes and Custom is the surviving entity for accounting
purposes.
On October 1, 1997, the Company completed an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization whereby GSFT issued 422,492 shares of its common
stock and $300,000 of cash in exchange for all of the outstanding
common stock of CoMar Foods, Inc. (CoMar). The acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase, and the shares issued were recorded at
the market value of the shares on the date of issuance.
On April 1, 1999, the Company issued 152,564 shares of its common
stock to purchase the assets of a related company, Killer Bee, Inc.
(Killer Bee). The physical assets consisted of product inventory
valued at $238,000 and was accounted for by the purchase method. The
shares issued were based on the $1.56 market value of the shares on
the date of the transaction.
On June 25, 1999 the Company purchased the assets and brand name of
Drag N Bait, Inc., a recognized supplier of recreational fishing
bait in the Southeastern United States, and particularly in Florida.
The acquisition was $339,000 cash, which represented the value of
the assets acquired, and was accounted for by the purchase

method. The operations of Drag N Bait after June 25, 1999 have been
consolidated with those of Killer Bee, Inc. in the nine months
interim financial statements.
Custom, a wholly-owned subsidiary, was incorporated under the laws
of Mississippi on February 15, 1988. It was incorporated for the
purpose of being a full service processor, packager, and storage
provider of shrimp and other seafood.
Comar, a wholly-owned subsidiary, was incorporated under the laws of
the State of Alabama on February 26, 1993. It was incorporated for

18, 1998. It was incorporated for the purpose of being a full
service processor, packager and distributor of bait and other
recreational fishing products.
b. Accounting Method
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using
the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a March 31
year end.
c. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with
maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition. The
Company's cash accounts at its banks are insured by the FDIC up to
$100,000. The Company's bank employs an overnight "sweep" to invest
cash balances which are in excess of daily operating needs.
d. Basic and Fully Diluted Earnings Per Share
The computations of basic earnings per share of common stock are
based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during
the period of the consolidated financial statements. Common stock
equivalents, consisting of the preferred shares and outstanding
warrants, have been included in the fully diluted earnings per
share.
e. Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include those of Global
Seafood Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Custom
Pack, Inc., CoMar Foods, Inc., and Killer Bee, Inc. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

k. 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 the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
l. Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to
the December 31, 1999 financial statement presentation.
m. Advertising
The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising
to expense as incurred.
n. Change in Accounting Principle
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" during the year ended March 31,
1999. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, diluted earnings per share
must be calculated when an entity has convertible securities,
warrants, options, and other securities that represent potential
common shares. The purpose of calculating diluted earnings (loss)
per share is to show (on a pro forma basis) per share earnings or
losses assuming the exercise or conversion of all securities that
are exercisable or convertible into common stock and that would
either dilute or not affect basic EPS. As permitted by SFAS No. 128,
the Company has retroactively applied the provisions of this new
standard by showing the fully diluted earnings per common share for
all periods presented.

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Common Stock Contingency
The Company is aware of numerous possible claims by individuals that
received either through purchase or otherwise, 850,000 forged shares
of the Company's common stock that purport to represent issued and
outstanding shares. The shares are not listed on the Company's
shareholder records and do not represent duly issued and outstanding
shares of the Company's common stock. Although no litigation is
pending in relation to these shares, it is possible that the Company
may have to honor these 850,000 shares of common stock in the
future. The shares have not been recorded by the Company at December
31, 1999 since the outcome is currently not estimatable.
The company is also in the process of trying to recover 1,700,000
common shares. The holder of the shares is claiming breach of
contract and claims that he is entitled to the shares. The claim is
currently in litigation and management intends on vigorously
contesting the claim. The company has filed an answer and a
counterclaim against the holder seeking specific performance of a
settlement agreement previously entered into. While the possibility
that an unfavorable outcome exists, the company has determined that
the potential loss is remote and fully intends on recovering the
entire 1,700,000 shares. It is remotely possible, however, that the
company may have to honor these shares in the future, although the
shares have not been recorded by the company as outstanding shares
as of December 31, 1999.
Leases
The Company has entered into several non-cancelable leases,
accounted for as operating leases, of certain machinery and
equipment used in operations. The minimum future payments required
under the operating leases are as follows:
Three months ending

March 31, 2000 $ 43,394

On November 1, 1998, the Company granted warrants to a consultant to
purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $1.00 per

price of the stock at the time of issuance. The warrants are
exercisable until July 1, 2008.
During April 1999, the Company granted warrants to an investor to
purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $1.00 per
share, which was the prevailing market price. The warrants are
exercisable until July 15, 2001.
On April 1, 1999, the Company granted warrants to purchase 1,500,000
shares of the Company's common stock at $1.56 per share in
connection with the purchase of the assets of Killer Bee, Inc.
Warrants of 500,000 shares were granted to each of the sellers
(three individuals, which included two executive officers and
directors of the Company). The warrants were valued at the
prevailing market price and are exercisable until April 1, 2009.
