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
2
<PAGE> 3
of suppliers. Product availability and consistency of quality are important
factors in the service provided.
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.
3
<PAGE> 4
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.
4
<PAGE> 5
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
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
5
<PAGE> 6
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.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATION
The following selected financial data, as of, and for each of the last
two years ended March 31, have been extracted from the audited financial
statements of the Company, a copy of which is included herein. The data for the
interim nine month period ending December 31, 1999, which is included in the
Exhibits, has not been subjected to audit and has been derived from the
Company's internally produced financial records. While the Company believes such
interim data to be materially correct, their failure to be subjected to
independent audit or to auditing standards should be noted. All such data should
be read only in conjunction with, and is qualified in their entirety by
reference to, the Company's financial statements and accompanying notes.

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.
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.
8
<PAGE> 9
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 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.

<PAGE> 10
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, 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.
10
<PAGE> 11
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 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.
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
15
<PAGE> 16
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.
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
The Company's only authorized classes of capital stock consist of:
i) 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001, of which
12,876,915 shares were issued and outstanding as of December
31, 1999 and 11,678,082 shares as of March 31, 1999; and,
ii) 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001, of
which 200,000 shares were issued and outstanding as of
December 31, 1999 and 30,000 shares as of March 31, 1999.
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
16
<PAGE> 17
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.
Restrictions on Transferability

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.
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.
Fully Paid and Non-Assessable
No share of the Company's common stock may be issued before being fully
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
Global Seafood Technologies, Inc.
(Formerly International Custom Pack, Inc.)
Biloxi, Mississippi
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Global Seafood
Technologies, Inc. (formerly International Custom Pack, Inc.) as of March 31,
1999 and 1998 and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 1999, 1998 and
1997. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Global
Seafood Technologies, Inc. (formerly International Custom Pack, Inc.) as of
March 31, 1999 and 1998 and the results of their operations and their cash flows
for the years ended March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, certain errors
were discovered by management of the Company during the current year resulting
in the overstatement of previously reported amounts in Additional Paid-In
Capital and Retained Earnings as of March 31, 1999 and 1998, and an
overstatement of net income for the years ended March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997.
Accordingly, certain adjustments have been made to the above-mentioned accounts
for the years ended March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 to correct the errors.

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
valued at $933,707, paid $300,000 in cash and assumed liabilities of
$266,293 for a total of $1,500,000 in exchange for all of the
outstanding common stock (CoMar). The acquisition has been accounted
for as a purchase. The 422,492 shares issued were valued at $933,707 or
$2.21 per share. The $2.21 per share amount was determined based upon
the market price of the 422,492 shares issued over a reasonable period
of time before and after the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization was
reached, which approximated the fair market value of the assets and
liabilities acquired through the purchase.
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. CoMar is a full service
processor and packager of shrimp and other seafood 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 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:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
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
</TABLE>

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.

$153,771 and $46,139, respectively.
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.

ended March 31, 1999, 1998 or 1997. Accordingly, no adjustment has been
recorded to the provision for income taxes for these years.
As of March 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company owed $918 and $17,144 in
state income taxes, respectively.
As of March 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company overpaid its federal income
taxes by $46,111 and $38,572, respectively.
As of March 31, 1999 and 1998, a deferred tax asset of $14,600 and $-0-

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Non-Compete Agreement
The Company entered into a covenant-not-to-compete during the year ended
March 31, 1991. The original agreement required $492,000 to be paid over 10
years at $49,200 each year. The agreement was amended in 1994 due to an
examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The current agreement calls
for annual payments of $32,800. Future minimum payments are required as
follows:

========
</TABLE>
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.

NOTE 10 - WARRANTS OUTSTANDING
On November 1, 1998, the Company granted warrants to a consultant to
purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share which
approximated market value for the shares at the time of issuance. This is
consistent with the accounting treatment of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation." The warrants are exercisable until July 1, 2008.
The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option and warrant at
the grant date by using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The following
assumptions were used: risk-free interest rate of 6%, eight year expected
life, 35% expected volatility, and no expected dividends. Accordingly, no
additional expense was recorded for the year ended March 31, 1999.

NOTE 12 - CORRECTION OF AN ERROR
During the year ended March 31, 1998, management of the Company discovered
that a third party had paid a $225,000 debt of GST prior to the
reorganization with Custom. In addition, the third party was owed an
additional $175,000 for services rendered prior to the reorganization with
Custom bringing the total amount owed to the third party to $400,000. This
debt was not disclosed to the Company at the time of the reorganization
with Custom on October 31, 1995. The third party made a claim against the
Company for $400,000 plus accrued interest of $50,000 during the year ended
March 31, 1998. As a result, the Company issued 300,000 shares of its
outstanding common stock in lieu of the $450,000 debt. The consolidated
financial statements have been restated to reflect the original debt of
$400,000, the interest expense of $50,000, and the payment of the debt
through the issuance of the 300,000 shares.
The 300,000 shares issued in lieu of the outstanding debt of $450,000 were
valued at $1.50 per share, which represented approximately 50% of the
trading value of the shares on the date of issuance due to the limited
volume of trading at the time of the issuance. Because of the limited
volume of trading with the stock, the value of the debt paid off ($450,000)
more accurately represented the fair value of the shares issued in lieu of
the outstanding debt.
Subsequent to the issuance of the March 31, 1999 consolidated financial
statements, the Company determined that certain shares issued for
consulting services during the year ended March 31, 1999 were valued
incorrectly. 50,000 shares were originally recorded by the Company at a
value of $1.00 per share. It was later determined that the fair value of
the shares issued was $1.56 per share. An adjustment was made to record the
shares issued under this prepaid consulting agreement at a total value of
$78,000 rather than the previously recorded amount of $50,000. The amount
has been recorded as prepaid consulting as of March 31, 1999 to be
amortized during the year ended March 31, 2000. Therefore, the correction
of this error had no effect on the Company's consolidated statement of
operations for the year ended March 31, 1999.
Following is a summary of the effects of the correction of errors on net
income for the years ended March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997:

as the "Aquaculture 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. (GSFT) 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 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
valued at $933,707, paid $300,000 in cash, and assumed liabilities of
$266,293 for a total of $1,500,000 in exchange for all of the outstanding
common stock of CoMar Foods, Inc. (CoMar). The acquisition was accounted
for as a purchase. The 422,492 shares issued were valued at $933,707 or
$2.21 per share. The $2.21 per share amount was determined based upon the
market price of the 442,492 shares issued over a reasonable period of time
before and after the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization was reached,
which approximated the fair market value of the assets and liabilities
acquired through the purchase.

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) for
$238,000. The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method. The

market value of the shares on the date of the acquisition.
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.

financial statements. Common stock equivalents, consisting of the preferred
shares, have been included in the diluted earnings per share.
e. Principles of Consolidation

CoMar Foods, Inc., and Killer Bee, Inc. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
f. Inventories

products, seafood storage bags, packing boxes and other miscellaneous
packaging materials.
g. Property and Equipment

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
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.
o. Prepaid Consulting
During the year ended March 31, 1999, the Company issued 50,000 shares of its
outstanding common stock valued at $1.56 (see Note 10) per share under a
consulting/ investment relations agreement for a 12-month period beginning April
1, 1999. The 50,000 shares issued have been valued at the fair market value of
the services to be performed, or $78,000, which

23%, and 24% and 30%, of total costs for the nine months ended December 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively.
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:

NOTE 9 - WARRANTS OUTSTANDING
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 share,
which approximated market value for the shares at the time of issuance.
This is consistent with the accounting treatment of SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". The warrants are fully vested,
non-forfeitable and are exercisable from the date of grant 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 value for the shares at the time of issuance.
This is consistent with the accounting treatment of SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". The warrants are fully vested,
non-forfeitable and are exercisable from the date of grant 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 value of $1.56 per share at the time of issuance.
This is consistent with the accounting treatment of SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". The warrants are fully vested,
non-forfeitable and are exercisable from the date of grant until April 1,
2009.
The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option and warrant at
the grant date by using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The following
assumptions were used: risk free interest rate of 6%, eight year expected
life, 35% expected volatility, and no expected dividends. Accordingly, no
additional compensation was recorded for the respective periods.
NOTE 10- RESTATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Subsequent to the issuance of the March 31, 1999 consolidated financial
statements, the Company determined that certain shares issued for consulting
services during the year ended March 31, 1999 were valued incorrectly. 50,000
shares were originally recorded by the Company at a value of $1.00 per share. It
was later determined that the fair value of the shares issued was $1.56 per
share. An adjustment was made to record the shares issued under this prepaid
consulting agreement at a total value of $78,000 rather than the previously
recorded amount of $50,000. The amount has been recorded as prepaid consulting
within Stockholders' Equity, instead of being included in prepaid expense, and
the $78,000 amount is being amortized during the year ended March 31, 2000. The
correction of this error had no effect on the Company's statement of operations
for the year ended March 31, 1999, but the higher recorded amount has resulted
in increased amortization reflected in these restated financial statements
compared to previously issued consolidated financial statements as of December
31, 1999.

NOTE 10 (CONTINUED)
During the year ended March 31, 1998, management of the Company discovered
that a third party had paid a $225,000 debt of the predecessor company prior to
the reorganization with Custom Pack. In addition, the third party was owed an
additional $175,000 for services rendered prior to the reorganization, bring the
total amount owed to the third party to $400,000. This debt was not disclosed at
the time of the reorganization on October 31, 1995. The Company satisfied this
debt plus accrued interest of $50,000 during the year ended March 31, 1998
through the issuance of 300,000 shares of its outstanding common stock in lieu
of the $450,000 total owed. The 300,000 shares had originally been recorded at a
$225,000 value. The consolidated financial statements have been restated to
reflect the original debt of $400,000, plus the interest expense of $50,000. The
effect of this restatement has been to increase Additional Paid-in Capital and
to decrease Retained Earnings.
The 300,000 shares issued in lieu of the $450,000 debt were valued at $1.50
per share, which represented approximately 50% of the trading value of the
shares on the date of issuance due to the limited volume of trading at the time
of issuance. Because of the limited trading volume, the fair value of the shares
issued was determined to be the value of the debt paid off.
The following is a summary of the effects of the correction of errors on net
income for the nine months ended December 31, 1998 and 1999:
