DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
-----------------------
RecycleNet Corporation ("Company") is a Utah corporation
originally incorporated on December 29, 1961. The Company
(formerly named The Garbalizer Machinery Corporation) was formally
reorganized on March 19, 1999 and the name was changed to
RecycleNet Corporation.
Neither the Company as presently constituted nor any of its
predecessors has filed for any bankruptcy, receivership, or
similar proceedings.
Prior to the March 19, 1999 reorganization, the assets less
liabilities of Garbalizer Machinery Corporation were sold to
Garb-Oil & Power Corporation (Utah). The Company engaged in
reverse share acquisition reorganization with RecycleNet (Ontario)
a company originally incorporated on December 22, 1997, under the
laws of the province of Ontario, Canada. As a result of that
reorganization, shareholders of RecycleNet (Ontario) exchanged
their common shares in that company for Class N voting, non-equity
shares of Garbalizer Machinery Corporation. The Class N shares
are exchangeable into common shares of Garbalizer Machinery
Corporation (on a one Class N share for one common share basis).

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND - GROWTH OF THE INTERNET AND ON LINE COMMERCE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Internet has emerged as a global medium enabling millions of
people world wide to share information, communicate, and conduct
business electronically. International Data Corporation ("IDC")
estimates that the number of Web users will grow from
approximately 150,000,000 worldwide in 1998 to approximately
500,000,000 worldwide by the end of 2003. Since its emergence as
a mass communications medium, the Internet has features and
functions that are unavailable in traditional media. As a result,
the Internet has quickly emerged as a success-critical medium.
According to Jupiter Communications, Internet advertising and
promotion is projected to grow from approximately $1.9 billion in
1998 to $7.7 billion in 2002. Also, according to Forrester
Research, business-to-business Internet advertising and promotion
is projected to grow from $290 million in 1998 to approximately
$2.6 billion in 2002. Finally, according to Forrester research,
business-to-business electronic commerce is projected to grow from
$17 billion in 1998 to $327 billion in 2002.
The growing adoption of the Web represents an enormous opportunity
for businesses to conduct commerce over the Internet. IDC
estimates that commerce over the Internet will increase from
approximately $40 billion world wide in 1998 to approximately $900
billion world wide in 2003. Companies focused on facilitating and
conducting transactions between businesses over the Internet
typically use the Internet to offer products and services that can
be easily described with graphics and text and do not necessarily
require physical presence for purchase or trade. The Internet
<PAGE>

gives these companies the opportunity to develop relationships
with customers world wide from a central location without having
to make significant investments required to develop wholesale or
retail facilities or develop printing and mailing infrastructure
associated with traditional direct marketing activities. As such,
there are significant benefits in business-to-business and
business-to-consumer transactions over the Internet.
PART 1, ITEM 1(c)

E-COMMERCE
----------
The Company operates a secure server to support electronic
commerce and services. The Company is currently developing
additional services that incorporate e-commerce features. These
services will enable customers to conduct secure financial
transactions over the Internet.
One such service under development is the Company's Secondary
Commodity Clearing Service. This e-commerce based service will
allow RecycleNet Corporation to retain a portion of the
transactional value of the goods traded via the system. The
company anticipates an average fee of 10% of the value of the
goods traded. The company is unable to estimate the proportion of
market share it can capture. It is estimated that the North
American marketplace for recycled commodities exceeds 300 billion
dollars per year in trade.
The Company believes a strategic opportunity exists related to the
distribution of hardware and software supporting e-cash
transactions. E-cash is a system of electronically transferring
cash values using Smart Card technology. A Smart Card resembles a
standard plastic credit card (including the magnetic strip on the
reverse side) and has a small gold-embossed silicon chip embedded
on the card in which data is stored including cash balances owned
by the holder. The evolution of e-cash is a new and dynamic
dimension to e-commerce, over and above the existing credit card
transaction technology. The Company believes that the
e-cash system is uniquely compatible to the trading of goods,
commodities and services.
The Company believes that the Internet system and it's associated
technologies such as email, world wide web, instant messaging,
e-commerce, among others, provides the potential for any person or
<PAGE>
11
company in any industry to conduct business electronically. The
exchange of goods among individuals and business traditionally has
been conducted through trading forums such as classified
advertisements, newsletters, person to person trading and other
similar devices which had historically been inefficient for many
reasons including the difficulty and expense for buyers and
sellers traditionally to meet, exchange information and complete
transactions, limited varieties in goods offered by any single
individual or trader, high transaction costs, lack of a reliable
and efficient means of setting prices for sales and purchases.
The Company believes it has developed and continues to develop
targeted and trade specific information technology
services/products, which may be used by companies for
e-commerce and other trade related purposes. These
services/products assist companies and individuals in harnessing
the potential that the Internet offers. Further, these services
are constantly evolving to accommodate new technology, customer
feedback, and regulatory requirements. The Company plans to
continue to develop additional services.

MARKETING
---------
The Company's marketing strategy is designed to strengthen and
increase brand awareness, increase customer traffic to the web
sites, build customer loyalty, encourage repeat site visitation
and develop incremental product and service revenue opportunities.
The Company believes that the design of its web sites applies
technology to deliver personalized service programs to insure
customer satisfaction and loyalty. The Company's goal is to
attract industry decision makers to its web sites on a regular and
consistent basis by developing and providing customer and free
services. Marketing strategy consists of traditional print media
advertising, direct and indirect outbound e-mail advertising,
Internet advertising, trade show participation, trade association
partnerships and strategic alliances with other media and related
companies and organizations.

COMPANY HISTORY
---------------
Prior to May 1995, Paul Roszel, an officer, director and principal
shareholder of the Company published a newsletter entitled "The
Recycler's Exchange". This newsletter was published for a period
of approximately seven years and was a regional recycling industry
newsletter that circulated to an estimated 3,200 recycling based
businesses in Ontario, Canada. In late 1994, as the popularity of
the Internet grew, Mr. Roszel began work on physically developing
the concept of an electronic format web site to distribute the
Recycler's Exchange information world wide via the world wide web
and e-mail. Thus, the Recycler's Exchange evolved from a printed
newsletter with limited distribution to one electronically
distributed worldwide. The web site was activated on-line on May
1, 1995.
<PAGE>
13
During the early development stages, (1995-1997) RecycleNet was
operated as a sole proprietorship by Mr. Roszel. RecycleNet
Corporation (an Ontario private corporation) was incorporated on
December 22, 1997.
During 1998, RecycleNet Corporation participated in an electronic
cash pilot program, which was conducted by Mondex Canada.
On February 25, 1999, RecycleNet Corporation (Ontario) entered
into a reorganization agreement with Garbalizer Machinery
Corporation of Utah, a company whose shares are publicly traded on
the over the counter bulletin board utilizing the symbol "GARM".
On March 19, 1999, the reorganization was consummated with
Garbalizer Machinery Corporation surviving and changing its name
to RecycleNet Corporation (a Utah corporation) and acquiring all
of the common shares of RecycleNet Corporation (Ontario) for
shares of the Utah Company. The Company has retained the market
symbol "GARM" as its market symbol and as an acronym for the
slogan, "Global Access to Recycling Markets".
In the past four years, the Company has developed and implemented
a broad range of software solutions including site management,
sales management, search, customer interaction, and transaction
processing systems using a combination of proprietary custom
designed technologies and commercially available, license
technologies. The scaleable structure of the Company's hardware
and software allows for rapid deployment of new web site features
and services, while maintaining user performance standards. In
the rapidly changing Internet environment, the ability to update
an application to stay current with new technologies it's
custom designed systems and flexible data base design allow for
the addition, modification, or replacement of web site content in
a cost efficient and expeditious manner.
<PAGE>
14
The Company currently uses UNIX BSD and APACHE software as its web
server. Its Internet servers are located in Cambridge, Ontario,
Canada. Supervisory staff provide professional Internet hosting
facilities and redundant high speed Internet connectivity.
Supervisory staff provide monitoring and support 24 hours a day, 7
days a week, supplementing the system administrators.
The Company has developed it's own content and web site management
tools to facilitate the maintenance and updating of it's web
sites. Web site management tools enable the company's staff to
update its web sites from remote locations throughout the day.
The market in which the Company competes is characterized by
rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, frequent
new service and product announcements, and changing customer
demands. Accordingly, the Company's future success may depend on
it's ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies, to adapt
it's services to evolving industry standards and to continually
improve the performance, features and reliability of it's service
in response to competitive service and product offerings and
evolving demands of the market place. The failure of the Company
to adapt to such changes would harm the Company's business. In
addition, the wide spread adoption of new internet, networking or
telecommunications technologies or other technological changes
could require substantial expenditures by the Company to modify or
adapt it's services or infrastructure.

PART 1, ITEM (i)
NEW AND EXISTING REGULATIONS OF THE INTERNET
--------------------------------------------
The Company is subject to the same federal, state and local laws
as other companies conducting business on the Internet.
Currently, there are relatively few laws specifically directed
towards on-line services. Due to the increasing popularity and
use of the Internet and on-line services, however, it is possible
that laws and regulations will be adopted with respect to the
Internet or on-line services. These laws and regulations could
cover issues such as on-line contracts, user privacy, freedom of
expression, pricing, fraud, content and quality of products and
services, taxation, advertising, intellectual property rights and
information security. Applicability to the Internet of existing
laws governing these issues is uncertain. The application of
current and future laws to persons doing business on the internet
would not likely have a harmful effect or result in a competitive
disadvantage to the Company inasmuch as all entities doing
business on the internet would likely be subject to the same
regulations and laws.

than 10% beneficial shareholders are involved in any litigation or

COMPETITION
-----------
The market for business-to-business trade focused Internet web
sites is new and quickly evolving. Competition for advertising,
electronic commerce and business users is intense and will
increase substantially in the future. Technological barriers to
entry by competitors are relatively insignificant.
Management expects to face intensified competition in the future
from traditional trade publishers, such as McGraw Hill, Penton
Media, directory registry companies, such as Thomas Register, as
well as from Internet search engine companies, trade associations,
etc. The Company also competes with traditional forms of
business-to-business advertising and commerce, such as trade
magazines, trade shows, and trade associations for advertisers.
It is Management's opinion that the number of business to business
Internet companies relying on Internet-based advertising revenue
will increase greatly in the future, which may increase pricing
pressure on our advertising rates.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
ITEM 2(C) 1. GENERAL
-------
RecycleNet Corporation (an Ontario Private Corporation) was
incorporated on December 22, 1997 and purchased the ongoing
business proprietorship of Mr. Paul Roszel. The Company operated
its business activities and continued to expand its operations
throughout the following period.
On March 19, 1999, RecycleNet Corporation (an Ontario Private
Corporation) completed a reverse share acquisition with the
Garbalizer Machinery Corporation, A Utah Corporation. RecycleNet
Corporation (Ontario) since it's inception, has provided Internet
services and has received all of its sales revenue from these
activities. All of the previous business activities of Garbalizer
Machinery Corporation have not continued on in the new parent.
Consequently, all of the following financial cata being discussed
will not compare any Garbalizer Machinery Corporation figures with
it's relevant comparisons.
Throughout the reporting periods shown hereafter, commone
stock was issued for various items (ie. business & start-up costs;
merger costs; professional fees and marketing expenses). United
States generally accepted accounting principles requires that we
value these shares at reasonable current values when issued.
Consequently, the paid-in-capital of the Company records as
received a substantial paid-in capital and the consolidated
statement of operations records a correspondingly large expense.
To assist the readers of these financial statements, we have
reported nornal opreational sales and expenses resulting in an
operating loss before special expenses.
We have itemized the speical expenses below that are not cash
paid expenses and did not result from any payments from our bank
accounts.

------------------ ------------------ -----------------
Sales
Revenues-US $ $316,300 $75,700 $100,900
Sales revenues for the period January 1, 1999 to September 30,
1999 were $316,300, a 313% increase over the annual previous
year's sales of $100,900, and a 417% increase or $240,600 over the
similar period of 1998.
These favorable sales figures continue to support the high level
of service delivered to our clients with their resulting increase
in traffic at our web sites as well as sales being recorded in our
Andela subsidiary in 1999.
<PAGE>

ITEM 2(c) 3. OPERATING EXPENSES
------------------
Treating our operating expenses with a similar discussion as we
detailed above with our sales revenues, below is a table
comparison of the expenses for the reporting periods.
January 1, 1999- January 1, 1998- January 1, 1998-
September 30, 1999 September 30, 1998 December 31, 1998
------------------ ------------------ -----------------
Expenses-US $ $172,400 $71,400 $96,400
Operating Expenses recorded during January 1, 1999 to September
30, 1999 were $172,400, an increase of $101,000 over the same
period ended September 30, 1998.
Salaries and benefits constitute the largest portion of our
operating expenses and have increased during this last period.
The staffing levels have increased recently relative to sales
personnel, as we need additional attention to be offered to the
increased number of inquiries we are receiving for services. Once
these additional personnel are trained, we will record increased
sales revenues, which should offset their expenses.
In addition, legal and accounting costs associated with the
Securities & Exchange Commission filings and some traveling
expenses have also increased our operating expenses. Some of
these costs are one-time up front costs that will be minimized in
the future. Our other general costs are not large and control of
these expenses should not be onerous.
<PAGE>

ITEM 2(c) 4. NET PROFIT (LOSS) BEFORE SPECIAL ITEMS
--------------------------------------
Net (loss) for the period ended December 31, 1998 amounted to (US
$9,500). While sales revenues were rising at a strong rate,
initial expenses associated with creating the web site, initial
incorporating and legal costs were incurred early in the year.
January 1, 1999- January 1, 1998- January 1, 1998-
September 30, 1999 September 30, 1998 December 31, 1999
------------------ ------------------ -----------------
Net Profit (loss) ($35,700) ($6,200) ($9,500)
US $ Before Special
Items
The net (loss) in the period ending September 30, 1998 amounted to
($6,200) and was attributed primarily in contracting the core
staff to operate our business as well as accounting and legal
costs associated with starting our business operations.
The net (loss) in the period January 1, 1999 to September 30, 1999
of ($35,700) US is a reflection of the above noted sales revenues,
and higher expenses, which eroded our profit this period. As well,
there were legal and traveling costs associated with the reverse
take over of the Garbalizer Machinery Corporation. The hiring of
additional sales personnel to capture the continuing increased
inquiries contributed primarily to our reduced profit but as the
sales staff becomes trained, our sales revenues will increase to
offset these costs. We expect our operations will improve to
profitability in the near future as we capture these sales revenues.
The operations of Andela Products Ltd. to September 30, 1999
included in these financial statements have operated in
essentially a break-even basis. We expect this operation will
contribute to our profitability in the near future.

------------- -------------- ------------- -------------
Net Profit ($974,800) ($6,200) ($9,500) ($6,198,500)
(loss) US $
As discussed above in our Net Profit (Loss) Before
Special Items, our day-to-day business activities are operating at
a slight loss year to date. As our sales personnel mature in
their duties, our sales revenue will increase without a
proportional increase in expenses. We expect our monthly
operations will show a profit in the very near future.
During the various stages in the formation of the
Company, from inception at December 22, 1997 until September 1999,
common stock was issued for various services such as business
development and start-up; merger costs; professional fees and
marketing.
Generally accepted accounting practice in the United
States requires that we value these shares at the time of
issuance, at a reasonable value. Consequently, in December 1997
shares valued at $6,191,700 were issued for business development
and start-up costs and was recorded as Paid-in Capital of the
Corporation. These costs were also recorded as "Special Expenses"
in the Operating Statement and were written off in their entirety,
resulting in this $6,198,500 non-cash loss.
Similarly, in the nine-month period ending September
30, 1999, additional common stock was issued for equivalent value
of $940,000, increasing the Paid-in Capital of the Company by this
amount. Correspondingly, the Statement of Operations recorded
$940,000 of "Special Expenses" for marketing costs; professional
fees and merger costs which contributed essentially to the
$974,800 loss for the period. Please note that this $940,000 of
"Special Expenses" was not a cash loss and the Balance Sheet
reflects our strong bank and cash position.
<PAGE>

ITEM 2(c) 6. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------
As of September 30, 1999, the Company's cash and short-term
investment consisted of $93,800 US and accounts receivable of $52,700 US.
Since we essentially have no debt, nor any bank indebtedness, these funds
will be used to fund general operations and to pursue our
expansion strategy in either hiring additional staff or acquiring
businesses in the future.
RecycleNet Corporation completed the acquisition of Andela
Products Ltd. of Richfield Springs, New York in the quarter ended
June 30, 1999. Andela Products Ltd. is involved in strategic
marketing programs for recyclable commodities and has developed a
unique Internet based service. RecycleNet anticipates Andela
Products Ltd. will add significant revenues for the Company in the
future.
The acquisition of Andela Products Ltd. was completed by utilizing
a contingency of shares of RecycleNet, the Ontario Corporation
that were budgeted prior to the March 19, 1999 reorganization of
the Company; subsequently this acquisition has no effect on the
Company's cash position and no shareholder dilution will take place.
ITEM 2(c) 7. DEFERRED REVENUE
----------------
Deferred revenue results from RecycleNet customers who pay for
their service purchases in advance, such as quarterly, half year,
or annually. RecycleNet records the initial payment in deferred
revenue and then recognizes in each month that proportion which is
provided in services. As at September 30, 1999, deferred revenue
amounted to $43,600 US and will be recorded into sales revenue
each month in the future as these services are provided.
<PAGE>
24
ITEM 2(c) 8. YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
--------------------
1) State of Readiness and Costs
The Company currently uses equipment such as computers, servers,
Internet service provider lines, telephones, fax machines,
electricity and software to conduct its business. All of our
current equipment and software is Y2K compliant and we do not
believe we have any costs associated with upgrading any of the
equipment or systems.
2) Risks
Our daily business activities are dependent on our suppliers, to
maintain electricity and to access our Internet lines. Should any
of these systems be interrupted, our suppliers such as Bell Canada
and Ontario Hydro, which are large companies, would be working
frantically to restore service. Internally, the Y2K issue could
result in system failures or miscalculations causing disruptions
of operations, including, among others, a temporary inability to
process transactions, send invoices or engage in similar normal
business activities. Sine we have customers in many countries
around the world, we are at risk if any of the systems in any of
these countries experience service interruptions. However, we
expect that these system interruptions would also be temporary and
that service would be restored quickly by their suppliers.
3) Contingency Plans
RecycleNet is entirely dependant on its suppliers to solve any
interruption of service in any of our supply systems. The
companies that operate these systems are large and have
maintenance personnel who have been trained to solve these
interruption problems. Their history of service restoration has
been quite impressive in previous years and we have been assured
that they have already successfully conducted tests to prove their
competence in the Y2K issue.
<PAGE>
25
If any of our systems were to be interrupted because of Y2K
difficulties, there is sufficient technical personnel in house and
locally in our region to correct any problem immediately. We do
not expect the Y2K issue to have any significant effect on our
Company in the months ahead.
ITEM 2(c) 9. a) Marketing
------------
The Company's marketing strategy is designed to strengthen and
increase brand awareness, increase customer traffic to the web
sites, build customer loyalty, encourage repeat site visitation
and develop incremental product and service revenue opportunities.
The Company inventively applies technology to deliver
personalized service programs to ensure customer satisfaction and
loyalty.
The Company's goal is to attract industry decision-makers to its
web sites on a regular and consistent basis by developing and
providing customer and free services. Marketing strategy consists
of traditional print media advertising, direct and indirect
outbound email advertising, Internet advertising, trade show
participation, trade association partnerships and strategic
alliances with other media and related companies and organizations.
Due to the Company's excellent customer service record over the
past four years, RecycleNet benefits from positive "word of mouth"
and customer referrals. Every effort is made to achieve frequent
communication with and obtain feedback from customers to
continually improve services and products.
<PAGE>
26
ITEM 2(c) 10. a) Future Plans for Expansion
--------------------------
The Company plans to continue to sell and support its existing
line of information technology products and services. These
products/services have been widely tested, refined and accepted by
the industry at large. The Company will continue, with the
feedback of its existing customer base, to develop and bring to
market NEW success-critical information technology products and
services. The Company intends to continue to increase the market's
awareness of its products/services using traditional print and
online marketing methods.
The Company's future plans include a program of joint ventures,
strategic alliances, mergers and acquisitions; which will further
reinforce the predominant position it holds as a
business-to-business and business-to-consumer trading resource.

PART II, ITEM 4
RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
---------------------------------------
The only securities sold by the Company within the last three
years occurred as of March 19, 1999 and August 1999. On March 19,
1999, the reverse share acquisition between RecycleNet Corporation
(Ontario) and Garbalizer Machinery Corporation (Utah) was closed.
The Plan of Reorganization between those companies provided for
the Company to issue 70,896,789 Class N voting, non-equity shares
in the Company. In connection with the reorganization, RecycleNet
Corporation (Ontario), which became a wholly owned subsidiary of
RecycleNet Corporation (formerly Garbalizer Machinery Corporation)
and the Ontario corporation issued an identical number of Class X
non-voting, equity participating shares in it. The Class N and
Class X shares are convertible into voting, equity participating
shares of the Company on the basis of one voting-equity
participating share in exchange for one share each of Class N and
Class X. As of the date hereof, the Company has redeemed a total
of 766,520 Class N and Class X shares and has issued 766,520
voting, equity participating shares to those shareholders in the
Company.
<PAGE>
38
All of the Class N and Class X shares, and all shares to be
issued upon exchange of the Class X and Class N shares, will be
"restricted" under the Securities Act of 1933 and the certificates
representing the shares bear and will bear a restrictive legend.
All of the persons issued the shares were former shareholders of
RecycleNet Corporation (Ontario) and are comprised of the
officers, directors and other affiliated persons of the
corporation and include persons who have maintained prior
personal, family, and/or business relations with the Company and
its former proprietor, and later, officers, directors, principal
shareholders and employees of the Company. As applicable, the
Company will rely upon Section 4(2) and/or Rule 506 under
Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933 for the issuance of all
classes of shares. The issuance of shares by RecycleNet
Corporation (Ontario) prior to the reorganization discussed, were
in full compliance with the applicable securities laws and rules
of the province of Ontario, Canada.
In August 1999, 2,000,000 Class N Shares were gifted to RecycleNet
Corporation by Mr. Paul Roszel, for which he received no compensation.
Subsequently, RecycleNet Corporation issued 2,000,000 common
shares to Mr. John C. Brewer, formerly the President of Garbalizer
Machinery Corporation, in consideration of Mr. Brewer rendering of
service to the Corporation and its new management in connection
with the March 19, 1999 reorganization of Garbalizer Machinery
Corporation into RecycleNet Corporation.
No underwriters assisted the Company with regard to any of the
foregoing share issuances.

PART II, ITEM 5
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
-----------------------------------------
Section 16 - 10a-901 through 909 of the Utah Revised Business
Corporation Act authorizes a corporation's board of directors or a
court to award indemnification to directors and officers in terms
sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain
circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for
expenses incurred, including counsel fees) arising under the
Securities Act of 1933. A director of a corporation may only be
indemnified if: (1) the conduct was in good faith; and (2) the
director reasonably believed that the conduct was in or not
opposed to the corporation's best interest; and (3) in the case of
any criminal proceeding, the director had no reasonable cause to
believe the conduct was unlawful. A corporation may not indemnify
a person under the Utah Act unless and until the corporation's
board of directors has determined that the applicable standard of
conduct set forth above has been meet.
<PAGE>
40
The Company's Articles of Incorporation do not provide for any
additional or different indemnification procedures other than
those provided by the Utah Act, nor has the Company entered into
any indemnity agreements with it's current directors and officers
regarding the granting of other or additional or contractual
assurances regarding the scope of the indemnification allowed by
the Utah Act. At present, there is no pending litigation or
proceeding involving a director, officer or employee of the
Company regarding which indemnification is sought, nor is the
Company aware of any threatened litigation that may result in
claims or indemnification. The Company has not obtained
director's and officer's liability insurance, although the board
of directors of the Company may determine to investigate and,
possibly, acquire such insurance in the future.

RECYCLENET CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The audited financial statements of RecycleNet Corporation (a Canadian
corporation) as of and for the period ended December 31, 1998 are
presented elsewhere herein and were prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in Canada. The accompanying unaudited
financial statements have been adjusted to present the financial position
of RecycleNet Corporation and subsidiaries and the results of their
operations and their cash flows in accordance with generally accepted
principles in the United States.
ORGANIZATION -RecycleNet Corporation (RecycleNet), was incorporated on
December 22, 1997 under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada.
RecycleNet is in the business of designing Internet sites, Internet
advertising and Internet trading of consumable recyclable goods. Its
primary operations are conducted from Ontario. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RecycleNet
Corporation, a Utah corporation, from the date of its acquisition,
RecycleNet and and Andela Products Corporation, from the date of its
acquisition.
REORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION- On March 19, 1999, RecycleNet was
reorganized into a wholly-owned Ontario subsidiary of Garbalizer Machinery
Corporation (Garbalizer), a Utah corporation, under the terms of a Stock
Exchange Agreement dated February 25, 1999 (the Agreement). Under the
terms of the Agreement, the shareholders of RecycleNet exchanged each
outstanding common shares of RecycleNet for 3.869 Class X shares (equity
participating and non-voting) of the Ontario subsidiary and 3.869 Class N
(voting non-equity participating) shares of Garbalizer. The RecycleNet
shareholders were issued 70,896,789 Class X and Class N shares. The Class
X and Class N shares are convertible into common shares of Garbilizer on
the basis of one Class X share and one Class N share for each common share
of Garbalizer. Prior to closing the Agreement, the Garbalizer shareholders
held 7,877,421 common shares, after a 2-for-3 reverse stock split, which
remained outstanding after the Agreement. The RecycleNet shareholders
therefore received the equivalent of 90% of the common shares of
Garbalizer. Subsequent to the closing of the Agreement, the Garbalizer
changed its name to RecycleNet Corporation.
For financial reporting purposes, RecycleNet was considered the accounting
acquirer. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements present the
historical operations of RecycleNet for the periods prior to March 19,
1999. The financial statements have been restated for all periods presented
for the effects of the 3.869-for-1 stock split. In connection with the
Agreement, Garbalizer transferred all of its existing assets and operations
to a corporation under the control of its principal shareholder in exchange
for the assumption of all of the liabilities of Garbalizer. Garbalizer
thereby became a shell corporation with no operations and no assets prior
to the transaction. The common shares of Garbalizer which remained
outstanding were accounted for as having been issued in the transaction and
were valued at zero which was the fair value of the net assets of
Garbalizer. The acquisition of Garbalizer was accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting. The operations of Garbalizer have been
included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from March
19, 1999.
USE OF 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 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.
BUSINESS CONDITION - The Company has experienced recurring operating
losses, and has negative cash flows from operations of $52,431 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999. These situations raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The
accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relative
to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying amounts or
the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
CURRENCY TRANSLATION - The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for the
Company's consolidated operations. All gains and losses from currency
translations are included in the results of operations.
F-6
<PAGE>
FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The amounts reported as cash, trade
accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and deferred
revenue are considered to be reasonable approximations of their fair
values. The fair value estimates were based on market information
available to management at the time of the preparation of the financial
statements.
BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER COMMON SHARE - Basic and diluted loss per common
share has been computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number
of common shares and Class N common equivalent shares outstanding during
the period.
NOTE 2--ACQUISITION OF ANDELA PRODUCTS CORPORATION
At September 30, 1999, the Company has a receivable from Andela T&M as a
results of $15,000 advanced to Andela T&M. The Company intends to acquire
glass recycling equipment from Andela T&M. In addition, the Company
acquired Andela Products Corporation from Andela T&M in exchange for
386,900 shares of common stock on March 11, 1999. The acquisition was
primarily for the purpose of obtaining marketing rights to the glass
recycling equipment. The common shares issued were recorded at their fair
value of $116,100 and were accounted for as marketing expense. The
operations of Andela Products Corporation have been included in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements from March 11, 1999.
NOTE 3--INCOME TAXES
As of September 30, 1999, the Company had Canadian operating loss
carryforwards for tax purposes of $50,983 which expire if not used
beginning in 2005. In addition, the Company has U.S. operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $400,000 which expire if not used in 2014.
NOTE 4--STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
On December 23, 1997, the Company issued 68,820,480 shares of common stock
for various services rendered to the Company. The shares were recorded at
their fair value of $0.09 per share based upon the price shares were
issued for cash in December 1997.
During February through March 1999, the Company issued 213,570 shares of
common stock for cash. The proceeds from the issuance was $109,475 or
$0.51 per share. During March 1999, the Company issued 833,717 shares of
common stock for services. The shares were recorded at their fair value of
$0.51 per share based upon the price shares were issued for cash during
that same time.
On March 11, 1999 the Company issued 386,900 shares of common stock for the
acquisition of Andela Corporation. The value assigned to the shares was
$0.30 per share based on the market value at which the Company's shares
traded after the reorganization with Garbalizer.
In conjunction with the reorganization of RecycleNet into Garbalizer, a
principal shareholder contributed 2,000,000 shares of common stock to the
Company on August 19, 1999 which were immediately reissued to an individual
for his assistance in the merger and acquisition of RecycleNet and
Garbalizer. The shares issued were recorded at their fair value of $400,000
or $0.20 per share based upon the market value at which the Company's
shares were trading at the time of issuance. The cost of the related
services were charged to expense.

CONDENSED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
(UNAUDITED)
On March 19, 1999, RecycleNet was reorganized into a wholly-owned Ontario
subsidiary of Garbalizer under the terms of a Stock Exchange Agreement
dated February 25, 1999. Under the terms of the agreement, the
shareholders of RecycleNet exchanged each outstanding common shares of
RecycleNet for 3.869 Class X shares (equity participating and non-voting)
of the Ontario subsidiary and 3.869 Class N (voting non-equity
participating) shares of Garbalizer. The RecycleNet shareholders were
issued 70,896,789 Class X and Class N shares. The Class X and Class N
shares are convertible into common shares of Garbilizer on the basis of one
Class X share and one Class N share for each common share of Garbalizer.
Prior to closing the agreement, the Garbalizer shareholders held 7,877,421
common shares which remained outstanding after the agreement. The
RecycleNet shareholders therefore received the equivalent of 90% of the
common shares of Garbalizer. The agreement was accounted for as the reverse
acquisition of Garbalizer by RecycleNet. The acquisition was accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price was determined
based upon the fair value of the net assets of Garbalizer, which was zero.
The following condensed pro forma consolidated statements of operations
have been prepared to present the operations of the combined entities as
though the agreement had been completed on January 1, 1998. Pro forma
adjustments have been provided to eliminate non-recurring expenses directly
attributable to the agreement.
The following financial information was derived from, and should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated statements of operations of RecycleNet
and of Garbalizer for the year ended December 31, 1998 and of RecycleNet
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The operations of Garbalizer
were included in the consolidated results of operations of RecycleNet from
March 19, 1999. The condensed consolidated pro forma statement of
operations has been included herein for comparative purposes only and does
not purport to be indicative of the results of operations which actually
would have been obtained had the agreement been completed on January 1,
1998, or the results of operations which may be obtained in the future. In
addition, future results may vary significantly from the results reflected
in this pro forma financial statement.

NOTES TO CONDENSED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
A - The operations of Garbalizer were discontinued upon the
reorganization with RecycleNet and have therefore been excluded
from continuing operations.
B - Merger and acquisition costs were paid by the Company issuing
common stock. The costs were non-recurring and were directly
attributable to the reorganization of RecycleNet into Garbalizer.
Accordingly, the related expense has been eliminated from the pro
forma net loss from continuing operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Stockholders
Garbalizer Machinery Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Garbalizer Machinery
Corporation as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years 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 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 financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Garbalizer
Machinery Corporation as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the years 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 discussed in Note 1 to the
financial statements, the Company's operating losses, working capital
deficiency, negative cash flows from operating activities and the lack of
consistent revenues raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters
are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GARBALIZER MACHINERY CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
NOTE 1--NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS -The Company is a subsidiary of
Garbalizer Corporation of America. The Parent Corporation owns 60 percent
of the Company's common stock. The Company manufactures and sells tire
shredders to buyers both in the United States and throughout the world.
USE OF 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 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.
BUSINESS CONDITION - The Company has experienced recurring operating
losses, has negative cash flows from operations and has a stockholders'
deficit of $459,143 and a working capital deficiency of $459,143 as of
December 31, 1998. The Company is past due on its debt obligations at
December 31, 1998. These situations raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying
financial statements do not include any adjustments relative to the
recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount
and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty. See Note 5 for management's actions regarding the
Company to continue as a going concern.
FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The amounts reported as cash, trade
accounts payable, accrued liabilities and notes payable are considered to
be reasonable approximations of their fair values. The fair value
estimates were based on market information available to management at the
time of the preparation of the financial statements.
INVENTORY - Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost
determined by the first-in first-out method. Inventory consists of gear
reducers. All inventory is considered finished goods.
REVENUE RECOGNITION - Revenue from sales is recognized upon shipment and
installation of a shredder. An allowance for returns and discounts is
provided at the time of shipment when needed.
PATENTS - The patents were being amortized over a 17-year period by the
straight-line method.
ADVERTISING COSTS - The Company expenses its advertising costs as incurred.
The Company incurred $0 and $6,700 in advertising costs for the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997.
RENTAL COMMITMENTS - The Company rents its office building on a
month-to-month basis. The Company paid $11,228 and $1,268 in rent expense
for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company
shares office space with another company under common control. The total
rent expense is allocated between the two companies.
RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain items in the 1997 financial statements have
been reclassified to conform to the current year classifications. Such
reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income.
BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER COMMON SHARE - In 1998, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per
Share. Under SFAS 128, loss per common share is computed by dividing net
loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share
reflects the potential dilution which could occur if all contracts to issue
common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in
the issuance of common stock. In the Company's present position, diluted
loss per share is the same as basic loss per share.

NOTE 5--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On March 19, 1999, the Company and its shareholders entered into a

transfer all of its existing assets and liabilities to a company controlled
by the Company's parent corporation, reverse split its common stock on a
2-for-3 basis, increase the authorized common shares to 150,000,000 shares
and agreed to merge a newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary with and into
RecycleNet. In the reorganization, the RecycleNet shareholders exchanged
all of the outstanding common shares of RecycleNet for 70,896,789 shares
(post-split) of equivalent common stock of the Company.
The reorganization with RecycleNet has been accounted for as a
reorganization of RecycleNet (RecycleNet being the accounting acquirer)
and the issuance of 7,877,421 shares of common stock (post-split) to the
parent corporation for no consideration. The distribution of the assets,
net of liabilities, was accounted as a capital contribution to the Company
and recorded at the historical cost of the assets and liabilities
transferred, as follows:
