PART I
Item 1. Description of business.
Environmental Products Group, Inc. ("Company") was originally incorporated
December 1, 1976 as Axelson Advertising and Research, Inc. in the State of
Utah.
The Company was merged into District Corporation, a Nevada corporation, formed
November 14, 1990 and was subsequently merged into Environmental Satellite
Corporation, a Delaware corporation, formed on September 26, 1990. The
Company's
name was changed to Versatech Environment Group, Inc. on July 9, 1993 and
changed to Environmental Products Group, Inc. on October 21, 1998.
1. Recent Consolidation
In November 1998 the Company, through a number of transactions, acquired
Formulated Mouldings (Canada) Inc. ("FMCI"), Environmental Shelter Corporation
Inc. ("ESC") and Environmental Fuel Technology, Inc. ("EFT"). In addition, the
Company also purchased a promissory note of FMCI from The Reclamation
(US) Corp.
The terms and conditions of these transactions are as set forth below.
EFT owned all right, title and interest in and to proprietary information
concerning the production of fuel from scrap containerboard waste and other
material. The Company acquired that know-how by way of an agreement and plan of
reorganization (the "EFT Plan"). Under the terms of the EFT Plan, the Company
issued 544,500 shares of its voting common stock to the shareholders of EFT in
exchange for all of the outstanding shares of EFT common stock. Under the EFT
Plan, EFT is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Certain officers of
the Company were also officers and/or shareholders of EFT (see Item 11 herein
for further details).
ESC owned all right, title and interest in and to proprietary technology and
know-how regarding the production of extruded plastic sheeting from scrap
diaper
and other materials. These materials were then designed to be used in
connection
with plastic shelters. The Company acquired this technology by way of an
agreement and plan of reorganization (the "ESC Plan"). Under the ESC Plan, the
Company issued 665,000 voting common shares in exchange for all of the
outstanding common stock of ESC thereby causing ESC to become a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. Certain officers of the Company were also officers
and/or shareholders of ESC (see Item 11 herein for further details).
FMCI owned all right, title and interest in and to proprietary information
concerning the production of extruded plastic moldings from scrap diaper and
other material. The Company acquired that know-how by way of an agreement and
plan of reorganization (the "FMCI Plan"). Under the terms of the FMCI Plan, the
Company issued 7,180,426 shares of its voting common stock to the shareholders
of FMCI in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of FMCI common stock.
Under the FMCI Plan, FMCI became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Certain officers of the Company were also officers and/or shareholders of FMCI
(see Item 11 herein for further details).
The Company also purchased a promissory note made by FMCI in the principal
amount of $885,636.12 (Canadian). FMCI borrowed this money from The Reclamation
(US) Corporation for a variety of purposes, including without limitation,
working capital and research and development of its extruded plastic molding
products. The Company issued 2,859,878 shares of its voting common stock to
purchase the promissory note and subsequently cancelled the note in
exchange for
the acquisition of FMCI's technology. As a result of the purchase, FMCI owed
the Company the principal amount of the note. Certain officers of the Company
were also officers and/or shareholders of The Reclamation (US) Corporation.
As a result of the foregoing transactions, the Company owned FMCI, EFT and
ESC. All of these companies are involved in the business of producing moldings,
fuel and shelter, respectively, from recycled plastic materials.
In May of 1999, the Company received the intellectual property rights,
technology
and know-how relative to the production of moldings from recycled
plastic from FMCI.
FMCI transferred the technology in full payment of the promissory
note that the Company
purchased from The Reclamation (U.S.) Corp. in November of 1998.
Shortly after the note
was paid, the Company sold all of the common stock of FMCI to
a third party for $100 (U.S.).
Thus, the Company is not in a position to expand its abilities and
technologies in
the use of recycled plastic materials for plastic moldings.
2. Products
The Company does not currently have any physical products to sell
nor any immediate
plans to produce such products. The Company does maintain the
technology and know-how
to produce moldings, fuel and housing/shelter from recycled
plastics for future production.
The Company is in a transition period as it redirects itself into
new environmentally safe
ventures and products.
Additional funding will be needed by the Company in the near
future as the Company
does not generate any cash flow at the present time.
The Company currently employs 4 people on its staff (3 executive people and 1
administrative person).
3. Competition
The Company cannot determine, at this time, its competition since the Company
is in a transition phase.
4. Pricing
The Company's pricing policies with respect to products will be
determined in the
future based on the current market conditions at the time the
Company distributes new
products, if any.
5. Marketing
The Company has not undertaken any marketing at this time due to its being in
a transition phase and funding.
6. Manufacturing
The Company has no manufacturing facility at the present time.
Item 2. Description of Property.
The Company's executive offices are located at 3325 North Service Road, Unit 105
Burlington, Ontario Canada. The executive offices are comprised of 11 rooms
covering 5,000 sq.ft. All general, sales and administrative oversight of the
Company is conducted out of these offices. The offices are leased on a two-year
basis and expire in January of 2002. Rent is $1,200 (US) per month.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
The Company is not involved and has not been involved in any litigation and, to
the best of its knowledge, is not aware of any facts that would likely lead to
litigation. Further, management is not aware of any threatened litigation.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
There were no items submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of the fiscal year ended May 31, 1999.
PART II
Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.
The Company's common stock is not traded on any recognized securities
exchange. Therefore, no bid and ask prices are available.
In November 1998 the Company, through a number of transactions, acquired
Formulated Mouldings (Canada) Inc. ("FMCI"), Environmental Shelter Corporation
Inc. ("ESC") and Environmental Fuel Technology, Inc. ("EFT"). In addition, the
Company also purchased a promissory note of FMCI from The Reclamation (US)
Corporation and also issued common stock to FMCI employees. The terms and
conditions of these transactions are as set forth below.
EFT owned all right, title and interest in and to proprietary information
concerning the production of fuel from scrap containerboard waste and other
material. The Company acquired that know-how by way of an agreement and plan of
reorganization (the "EFT Plan"). Under the terms of the EFT Plan, the Company
issued 544,500 shares of its voting common stock to the shareholders of EFT in
exchange for all of the outstanding shares of EFT common stock. The book value
of EFT was $544.50. The shares were issued based upon Rule 504 promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended as well as Section 4(2) of said act.
ESC owned all right, title and interest in and to proprietary technology and
know-how regarding the production of extruded plastic sheeting from scrap
diaper
and other materials. These materials were then designed to be used in
connection
with plastic shelters. The Company acquired this technology by way of an
agreement and plan of reorganization (the "ESC Plan"). Under the ESC Plan, the
Company issued 665,000 voting common shares in exchange for all of the
outstanding common stock of ESC. The book value of ESC was $665.00. The shares
were issued based upon Rule 504 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 as
amended as well as Section 4(2) of said act.
FMCI owned all right, title and interest in and to proprietary information
concerning the production of extruded plastic moldings from scrap diaper and
other material. The Company acquired that know-how by way of an agreement and
plan of reorganization (the "FMCI Plan"). Under the terms of the FMCI Plan, the
Company issued 7,180,426 shares of its voting common stock to the shareholders
of FMCI in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of FMCI common stock. The
book value of FMCI was $324,281.25 Canadian or $214,025.63 (US). The
shares were
issued based upon Rule 504 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 as
amended as well as Section 4(2) of said act.
The Company also purchased a promissory note made by FMCI in the principal
amount of $885,636.12 (Canadian) ($584,519.76 (US)). FMCI borrowed this money
from The Reclamation (US) Corporation for a variety of purposes, including
without limitation, working capital and research and development of its
extruded
plastic molding products. The Company issued 2,859,878 shares of its voting
common stock to purchase the promissory note and later extinguished the note in
exchange for the transfer of technology from FMCI as security for the note. The
shares were issued based upon Rule 504 promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933 as amended as well as Section 4(2) of said act.
Finally, the Company issued 472,000 shares of common stock to employees
of FMCI. These shares were issued to acknowledge loyal, good and faithful
service on the part of those employees. The shares were issued based upon Rule
504 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended as well as Section
4(2) of said act.
Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
It is the intention of management to terminate the Company's involvement in
the manufacture and distribution of its plastic trim line of products.
It is for that reason
that its manufacturing pilot plant was shut down and the subsidiary (Formulated
Mouldings (Canada) Inc.) sold.
All research and development for the trim line of products has been completed.
The Company will begin to search for more suitable business premises.
These premises will house executive and administrative staff.
In the meantime, the
Company's executive staff will share premises with another company
in Burlington,
Ontario, Canada.
The Company's plan for the immediate future is to license the manufacture
and distribution of its plastic trim line of products. Initially, the license
will only cover
Canada. Thereafter, it is anticipated that a program to license the
product in other
parts of North America will begin.
During this period and for the ensuing year the Company anticipates
that it will
need to raise some additional capital primarily through debt. A major
shareholder and
officer has agreed to lend the necessary operational funds required
during the ensuing
year. If any funds are received as a result of the license program,
such funds will be
used to either repay the debt or used for working capital. The
Company believes that
the funds available to it from the officer will be sufficient to allow
it to operate over the
next twelve months.
A base staff will be required to handle operations and this will
be limited to a
maximum of five people which will include executive staff.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Environmental Products Group, Inc. (Formerly
Versatech Environment Group, Inc. and
Environmental Satellite Corporation)
Burlington, Ontario, Canada L7N3G2
We have audited the balance sheet of Environmental Products Group, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company) (formerly Versatech Environment Group, Inc.
and Environmental Satellite Corporation) as of May 31, 1999 and the related
statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for
the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of
Environmental
Products Group, Inc. as of May 31, 1998 and 1997 were audited by another
auditor
whose report dated November 24, 1998 expressed an unqualified opinion
on those
statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance
that 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 audit provides
a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above presents
fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Environmental Products
Group, Inc. as of May
31, 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the year then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the
financial statements, the
Company has experienced severe liquidity problems. Those
conditions raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result
from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
The Company was incorporated on September 26, 1990 under the laws of the
State of Delaware. On November 19, 1990, the Company merged with District
Corporation, a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, in a
share for share stock exchange wherein the shareholders of District Corporation
exchanged their shares of stock for those of Environmental Satellite
Corporation,
leaving Environmental Satellite Corporation as the surviving corporation.
This exchange
was accounted for as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(c),
or 338H-10, the
Internal Revenue Service Code, 1986, as amended. This method provides
for a tax-free
exchange of assets, subject to liabilities, for common stock. District
Corporation originally
merged with Axelsen Advertising and Research, Inc., a Utah
corporation incorporated on
December 1, 1976, on November 14, 1990.
On June 12, 1993, the shareholders consented to changing the
Company's name
to VERSATECH ENVIRONMENT GROUP, INC.. The Company
also decided that it
will be in the business of the manufacture and sales of more
environmentally friendly
products for the construction and automobile industries.
On October 21, 1998, the Company changed its name to ENVIRONMENTAL
PRODUCTS GROUP, INC.. On the same date, the Company amended its
Certificate of Incorporation to rescind the authorization to issue preferred
shares
and to reduce the number of authorized common shares it could issue from
200,000,000 with par value of $0.001 per share to 20,000,000 with a
par value
of
$0.001 per share.
On November 20, 1998, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of
Formulated Mouldings (Canada) Inc. (FMCI), Environmental Shelter Corporation
(ESC) and Environmental Fuel Technology, Inc.(EFT). These companies were
purchased by issuing 11,249,804 shares of the Company's common stock. The
foregoing shares issued by the Company were issued pursuant to an exemption
from registration (Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended

period of one year from the date of receiving full consideration for the shares.
On May 28, 1999, the Company sold the operations of FMCI for $100.00. The
