PART I
Item 1. Description of Business.
a) BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
International Foam Solutions, Inc., ("IFS, Inc.") was incorporated
under the laws of the State of Florida in May 1993. IFS, Inc. produces and
markets a self-contained system, termed the "Styro Solve System," which utilizes
IFS, Inc.'s "Solution Machine" and a "Styro Solve" solution, for disposing of
and recycling polystyrene foam products. Polystyrene is a lightweight plastic,
composed of hydrogen and carbon atoms. It is derived from petroleum and natural
gas by-products, the most common of which, styrofoam, is utilized in the
packaging industry. IFS, Inc.'s Styro Solve System can also recycle other
polystyrene products, such as the material from which many computer monitors and
keyboards are made. To IFS, Inc.'s knowledge, IFS, Inc. offers the only safe,
efficient, economical and practical means of recycling such waste materials.
IFS, Inc. has developed its Styro Solve System, including the machinery
required to process the Styro Solve solution and recycle polystyrene. IFS, Inc.,
and together with two outside manufacturers, have developed four models of its
Solution Machines, for use by various businesses, depending on their respective
polystyrene usage and recycling requirements. The smallest of the Solution
Machines is approximately the size of an outdoor U.S. Government issued mail
deposit box, suitable for smaller cafeterias serving up to eight hundred meals
per day, as well as other businesses which consume up to thirty pounds of
styrofoam per day; the largest of such machines can recycle approximately one
hundred pounds per hour.
Due to limited capital resources, IFS, Inc.'s sales activities to date
have been minimal for its Styro Solve System. Prior to commencing its sales
activities, IFS, Inc. engaged in extensive beta site testing with a variety of
businesses in several locations, including a school district and several major
Fortune 500 companies, some of which continue to be current Company customers.
As a result of the beta site testing in prior years, IFS, Inc. believes it has
now developed an effective product and system for the recycling of polystyrene.
(b) BUSINESS OF THE ISSUER
(1) PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AND THEIR MARKETS
IFS, Inc.'s principal products and services consist of two distinct
categories of products. One category is based on its Styro Solve System, for
consolidating, reducing and discarding polystyrene foam materials, which is
leased or sold to customers who have a need to discard used or excess
polystyrene products; the second category is the supply by IFS, Inc. of recycled
polystyrene beads and chips that are sold to plastic manufacturers as raw
material. IFS, Inc. has not generated any revenues from the sale of recycled
polystyrene beads and chips as IFS, Inc. does not presently have a recycling
plant in the U.S.
3
<PAGE> 4
The Styro Solve System is made up of four fundamental components: the
Solution Machine (four models); the Styro Solve solution which is added to the
Solution Machine and sprayed on the polystyrene as it is shredded within the
Solution Machine, causing the compression (by removing the air) of the
polystyrene into a gel-like substance called "Polygel," the pick up and removal
of the Polygel; and finally, support services by IFS, Inc., including extended
warranties on equipment and a full educational program (videos, posters, teacher
and student guides, student questionnaires, training of food service and
custodial personnel) on the Styro Solve System.
Styro Solve is IFS, Inc.'s brand name for the solvent used in the
Solution Machine to reduce the volume of polystyrene foam by approximately 90%
and convert the material into the Polygel. Styro Solve is based on a compound
derived from citrus oils, which may be readily obtained from the rinds and other
natural products of the citrus industry. An additional proprietary patent
pending on the process is also used in the manufacture of the Styro Solve
solution.
The Styro Solve System provides for polystyrene materials to be placed
in a free-standing metal bin (the Solution Machine) that houses a shredder to
physically break down the foam materials, and a sprayer to douse the shredded
material with a non-toxic, environmentally safe solution (Styro Solve). The
Solution Machine is sold or leased to a customer and is physically located on
such customer's premises. The Solution Machine shreds the polystyrene and
automatically sprays Styro Solve solution on the shredded foam pieces. Shredding
the polystyrene speeds the reduction process because the small pieces dissolve
more quickly in the Styro Solve solution than large pieces. The Styro Solve
softens and dissolves the polystyrene. Air trapped in the foam is released
leaving the Polygel, which is deposited into a removable bag or container at the
base of the Solution Machine. The bags of Polygel are collected periodically
from the machine by the customer and placed in large drums or gaylords (large
square storage containers that rest on a single pallet) supplied by IFS, Inc.
for a fee, for later shipping at IFS, Inc.'s expense. There is a minimum of
eight hundred pounds of Polygel required prior to IFS, Inc. collecting the
Polygel from its customers. The Polygel undergoes a filtering and extrusion
process, during which impurities and the Styro Solve solution used earlier are
removed, leaving condensed polystyrene material in the form of hard plastic
beads or chips. Such polystyrene beads or chips may then be sold to plastic
manufacturers for use in other polystyrene products. The Styro Solve solution
removed during this step may be repackaged, reused (up to approximately eighteen
times) and resold to customers. IFS, Inc. is currently storing the Polygel until
such time as a recycling facility may be built. While IFS, Inc. has not
constructed a recycling facility in the U.S., a Japanese based licensee of IFS,
Inc.'s patent is currently operating a recycling facility on a limited basis in
Japan. Because of insufficient quantities of polygel being produced, the
Japanese company has recycled on a limited basis. IFS, Inc. believes, based upon
its current internal analysis, that the construction of a recycling facility in
the U.S. will not be viable until Polygel production reaches approximately four
million pounds per year. IFS, Inc. currently stores approximately 100,000 pounds
4
<PAGE> 5
of Polygel. The cost estimated to construct a recycling facility is $1.5
million, based upon its current internal analysis; IFS, Inc. has no immediate
plans or funds set aside for the construction of a recycling facility at this
time.
IFS, Inc. does not presently manufacture or market its own recycled
products, but intends to do so, depending upon the availability of funding, of
which no assurances are given, in the event that a recycling facility may be
constructed. It is anticipated that such recycled products could include rebar
chairs (for concrete), signage, paperclip holders, mechanical pencils,
electronics casings, etc., and that, depending upon funding availability, IFS,
Inc. could either purchase or lease appropriate manufacturing equipment. IFS,
Inc. has estimated that the cost to recycle the Polygel, which would include
overhead, machinery, shipping, labor and similar expenses, would be
approximately $.20 per pound of recycled product. This amount would increase to
approximately $.33 per pound if the cost of marketing activities for the end
product, which could entail utilizing Company employees and/or outside
distributors/independent contractors, were considered. It is estimated by IFS,
Inc. that the end product could resell for approximately $4.00 per pound.
Generally, IFS, Inc. plans to either sell or lease one of its four
models of its Solution Machines to prospective customers, depending upon their
particular polystyrene usage and recycling requirements. The retail price for
such machines are as follows: SM1100 (front load food service) -- $4,995.00;
SM2200 (top load food service) -- $5,995.00; SM 3300 (industrial grinder) --
$15,500.00; SM 3500 (industrial grinder/debulker combination) -- $29,995.00. The
Styro Solve Solution is sold by IFS, Inc. to its customers/end users on an as
needed basis, depending upon their particular polystyrene usage and recycling
requirements, in either five gallon containers at a suggested retail price of
$100, or in fifty-five gallon drums at a suggested retail price of $990.00.
Certain discounts are afforded to Company distributors. To date, virtually all
of IFS, Inc.'s current customers have purchased Solution Machines from IFS, Inc.
All of the models of Solution Machines are currently being utilized. One of IFS,
Inc.'s customers entered into a lease-to-own arrangement to acquire a Solution
Machine. IFS, Inc. has investigated several companies which have expressed
interest in providing lease-to-own financing to prospective customers, which
companies IFS, Inc. plans to introduce to prospective customers should they
desire to lease a Solution Machine rather than purchase the machine outright.
IFS, Inc. currently utilizes the services of two unaffiliated
subcontractors to manufacture all four models of the Solution Machines so as not
to be wholly reliant on a single source manufacturer. IFS, Inc. assembles the
Solution Machines at its facility in Delray Beach, Florida. IFS, Inc. has found
both subcontractors to be comparable in cost, reliable and comparable in
purchase/financing terms with 50% of purchase price payable with the order and
the balance due in 30 days.
Generally, IFS, Inc. maintains several of its four Solution Machine
models in inventory. Depending upon the availability of additional funding, of
which no assurances are given, IFS, Inc. plans to increase its inventory.
5
<PAGE> 6
IFS, Inc. believes its principal market consists primarily of various
institutions and businesses which utilize and have a need to dispose of
polystyrene products, including participants in the food service industry such
as school, hospital and business cafeterias, and to a lesser extent, consumers
and the general public.
IFS, Inc. sells its products by its own sales force and through
distributors. Currently, IFS, Inc. has two in-house salesmen, two domestic
distributors and four independent representatives.
Current customers of IFS, Inc.'s distributors include a school district
located in Albany, NY, Time Warner, HBO, Estee Lauder, Hewlett-Packard and
University of Pennsylvania Hospital. Some of IFS' direct sales customers include
ARCO Alaska, Pitney Bowes, Warwick School District (Warwick, NY), BrandsMart
U.S.A., Brooks Medical Center (US Army), San Diego Anti-Nuclear Submarine
College (US Navy) and DAAP MEDCO (US Navy).
The chart below shows the approximate percentage of annual revenues generated by
distributors and IFS' sales force for the last three years:
1997 1998 1999
---- ---- ----
IFS 60.1% IFS 86.1% IFS 77.5%
Dist. 39.9% Dist. 13.9% Dist. 22.5%
IFS, Inc. also plans to target regions and companies in foreign
countries, pursuant to which it intends to enter into licensing agreements or
other arrangement with foreign companies for the manufacture and sale of IFS,
Inc.'s products. In a prior year, the Company entered into a license agreement
with a Japanese entity pursuant to which IFS, Inc. was paid one million dollars
in consideration for IFS, Inc. granting this entity exclusive rights in Japan to
use and develop IFS, Inc.'s existing patents. This agreement further provided
that if the Japanese entity builds recycling centers (termed "reconverting
facilities"), IFS, Inc. shall be paid a one time licensing fee based on
recycling capacity requirements which may apply to each facility. To date, the
agreement has not been further implemented by the Japanese entity due to local
economic conditions. IFS, Inc. understands from discussions with Styro Japan
that the Japanese economy was in an unstable condition, an effect of which
distracted potential clients from utilizing the recycling technology. Two
regions initially targeted by IFS, Inc. for foreign sales are the Far East and
European block countries. IFS, Inc. believes that due to, among other things,
the decline in the Japanese Yen, and due to IFS, Inc.'s lack of sufficient
capital to effectively market in these regions, IFS, Inc. has not been able to
develop business relationships in these regions.
IFS, Inc. is currently testing its Styro Solve solution for other
proprietary applications.

(2) DISTRIBUTION METHODS
IFS, Inc. distributes its products and services in essentially three
manners: (1) in-house employee and independent contractor sales, (2) independent
distributors and (3) outside independent contractors.
In-house sales are generated primarily from IFS, Inc.'s executive
offices located in Delray Beach, Florida, where the executive officers of IFS,
Inc. actively pursue business leads for IFS, Inc.'s products. IFS, Inc.
presently has one independent sales contractor (who is viewed as an "in-house"
independent sales contractor as he focuses solely upon IFS, Inc.'s products and
services), located in the Chicago, Illinois area, who is primarily responsible
for securing customers in the area. IFS, Inc.'s officers are currently paid
salaries, but no bonuses or commissions on their sales of IFS, Inc.'s products.
The "in-house" independent sales contractor is paid commissions only.
Currently, IFS, Inc. has two domestic distributors, one in the Anaheim,
California area and one in Houston, Texas. Distributors execute agreements with
IFS, Inc. for the area in which they desire to market IFS, Inc.'s products.
These distributorship agreements currently provide for sales to distributors at
wholesale prices. Distributors are essentially resellers, who purchase products
from IFS, Inc. and resell the products to their customers at a mark-up from the
price charged by IFS, Inc. to the distributors. Some agreements grant
distributors partial exclusive territorial rights for certain types of
businesses (e.g. California public schools). The distributorship agreements
further provide, in some instances, that distributors have options to distribute
IFS, Inc.'s products on a non-exclusive basis to other specified territories,
provided that the distributor meets certain sales conditions which may be
established by the distributorship agreement.
On or about January 11, 1997, IFS, Inc. entered into an agreement with
Styro Japan Co., Ltd., a Japanese corporation ("StyroJapan"), whereby IFS, Inc.
sold StyroJapan an exclusive license to utilize and develop IFS, Inc.'s patented
process for recycling or reconverting polystyrenes in Japan. The license differs
from a distributorship agreement, as the former grants the use of the patented
recycling process, whereas the latter grants the right to sell IFS, Inc.'s
products, such as the Solution Machines and Styro Solve. Since 1997, there have
been no further licensing agreements.
Outside representatives are paid commissions on sales. There are
currently 8 Company representatives servicing four states, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Florida and Illinois. Representatives generally execute an independent
representative agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, a commission is
payable based on sales by the representative. These agreements generally provide
that IFS, Inc. will provide the sales representative with leads and training,
and that the representative shall not compete with IFS, Inc.
Depending upon the availability of additional funding, which may be
derived from operations as well from additional funding efforts, neither of
7
<PAGE> 8
which are assured, IFS, Inc. intends to retain, during approximately the next
twelve months, up to approximately four additional in-house sales
representatives, as well as to secure additional distributors and outside sales
representative relationships in other parts of the United States such as Texas,
Wisconsin, California, Washington, New York, and New Jersey.
Due to limited capital resources, IFS, Inc. has not engaged in any
media-type advertising, although Company personnel have performed demonstration
of IFS, Inc.'s products and services before current and prospective customers,
as well as attended various industry trade shows. Depending on the availability
of additional funding, as discussed above, IFS, Inc. plans to engage in
advertising for its products and services utilizing infomercials, the internet,
radio and co-operative advertising with other companies including restaurants,
environmental groups and foam product manufacturers, as well as continue to
attend and present its products and services at industry trade shows. Emphasis
will be placed on education concerning the importance of recycling and
protecting the environment as well as promoting IFS, Inc.'s Styro Solve System
as the preferred safe and effective means of disposing of polystyrene waste.
(3) STATUS OF PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED NEW PRODUCTS OR SERVICES
IFS, Inc. has no new publicly announced products or services.
(4) COMPETITIVE BUSINESS CONDITIONS
At present, to IFS, Inc.'s knowledge, IFS, Inc.'s Styro Solve System is
the world's only environmentally safe and economically practical means of
recycling polystyrene products and materials. IFS, Inc. potentially faces
competition from two primary fronts: competing companies (technologies) and
substitute products. Currently, IFS, Inc. does not believe that it faces
significant competition from other companies. No assurances can be given,
however, that IFS, Inc. will not face competition from new entrants into the
industry, having substantially greater financial and other resources than IFS,
Inc., in view of the substantial use of polystyrene products in the U.S. economy
and world-wide, and in IFS, Inc.'s view, the perceived need for disposing of and
recycling such products.
Three competing companies have participated or currently participate in
the polystyrene recycling market: National Polystyrene Recycling Company
("NPRC"), Dart Container Corporation ("Dart") and Resource Recovery Technology
("RRT"). One additional potential competitor, Styro Melt, was due to release
their line of recycling equipment, but has yet to do so.
Until recently, IFS, Inc. considered its largest competitor to be NPRC,
which was originally formed as a joint venture between several major chemical
and petroleum companies. NPRC recently discontinued operations as a result of,
to IFS, Inc.'s knowledge, and among other factors, customer dissatisfaction in
having to wash and repack polystyrene materials prior to shipment to recycling
centers, utilization of valuable warehouse space to store original shipping
containers, incurring of labor costs to clean and package polystyrene materials
and incurring a fifteen cent per pound fee to recycle such materials.
8
<PAGE> 9
Dart, based in Wisconsin, currently offers a compacting machine only to
the food service industry which compacts only Dart polystyrene products and
requires the compacted polystyrene to be returned to Dart for recycling when
full, with the required shipping charge. Additionally, Dart relied on NPRC for
its recycling needs.
RRT based in Lakeland, Florida, utilizes a system similar in nature to
the Styro Solve System. RRT provides its customers with a large, six-foot
stainless steel container with a solvent that resides at the base of the
container. As polystyrene material is discarded into the bin, the solution melts
the foam into a fluid which is later removed. However, the polystyrene material
is not shredded to maximize use of the solution, which is itself a chlorine
based chemical which is potentially hazardous with environmental risks. Their
system is also quite expensive to operate. Upon information and belief, RRT
charges a five thousand dollar fee to have a container placed in a customer's
premises and one hundred forty dollars to periodically remove the gel fluid from
the machine. Each one hundred forty dollar charge will process approximately 100
pounds of polystyrene, amounting to one dollar forty cents per pound, which is
substantially higher than the cost per pound using IFS, Inc.'s Stryo Solve
System. Since direct access must be provided to RRT's containers in order to
pump out the waste, geographical limits are placed on the location of the
polystyrene container. Further, limits on the placement of the container may
also be imposed by requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA")
due to the caustic nature of the solution.
The second competitive challenge to IFS, Inc. is that of substitute
products; such products are primarily found in the food service industry where
three general categories of products compete. They include: disposable paper
products, disposable polystyrene foam products and non-disposable china products
(made from various materials).
Two concerns in the decision to use polystyrene foam products are the
environmental concerns and the related public relations impact, and the economic
concerns of the traditional waste management options. Due to public relations
and other concerns, certain large corporations, such as McDonalds, have switched
from utilizing polystyrene to paper based containers. Concerning waste
management, foam products consume a tremendous amount of space for their weight.
Very large dumpsters and frequent emptying, both of which are expensive, are to
be expected in any operation for which polystyrene foam is a waste product.
Paper products generally cost more than polystyrene equivalents. The
U.S. Food and Drug Administration mandates that all paper-based food service
ware be made from virgin materials. The production of paper materials requires
more energy, creates three times more pollution and costs significantly more
than analogous polystyrene products. Foam products are more sanitary, prevent
growth and spread of bacteria, more sturdy, more thermally efficient and can be
recycled instead of adding to landfills.
9
<PAGE> 10
As to china and tableware, in addition to the high purchase price,
which will vary depending upon material and quality, non-disposable china and
tableware incur greater labor and clean up costs, including expensive
dish-washing equipment, detergents, water, electricity, labor, replacement of
broken pieces, inspection of sewage lines and inspection by local health
departments.
In view of the foregoing, IFS, Inc. believes that polystyrene foam
products are economically superior to substitute products and that with the
development of the Styro Solve System, cafeterias and restaurants may have
little reason to avoid making use of these products.
Based upon 1998 production figures published by the Plastic News
Magazine, the total polystyrene market aggregates approximately $8 to $10
billion in sales each year. The overall market for polystyrene recycling
continues to remain underdeveloped and under-marketed due to lack of awareness
of market opportunity and the current availability of technology to address
polystyrene environmental concerns. In many cases, companies and institutions
are unaware of the option or possibility of polystyrene foam recycling. Of the
few participants in this market, none are, in IFS, Inc.'s opinion, adequately
marketing the advantages of their products or the importance of recycling.
(5) SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS AND NAMES OF PRINCIPAL
SUPPLIERS. The specific chemical identities, other than the terpenes, comprising
IFS, Inc.'s Styro Solve solution, are considered by IFS, Inc. to be proprietary
trade secrets. The ingredients comprising IFS, Inc.'s Styro Solve solution are
readily available from a number of suppliers, including Chem Central, Inc.,
Florida Chemical, Inc., BASF, Inc., DuPont, Inc. IFS, Inc. utilizes two outside
manufacturers to manufacture its four models of Solution Machines and has found
both manufacturers to be timely and responsive to IFS, Inc.'s need for the
Solution Machines.
(6) DEPENDENCE ON MAJOR CUSTOMERS. During 1999, three customers
accounted for 48% of the Company's sales. Substantially all of the Company's
1998 sales were made to two customers. Sales to customers constituting 10% or
more are as follows:

</TABLE>
(7) INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. IFS, Inc. owns a U.S. patent for the process
by which polystyrene is reduced to the Polygel. The patent is titled "Reduction
in Polystyrene with Activated Agent." Patent # 5223543 and expires in 2010. IFS,
Inc. has a patent pending for another process by which polystyrene may be
reduced to Polygel. This patent pending is titled "Reduction in Polystyrene
Foams with Dibastic Esters." IFS, Inc. is in the process of applying for patents
on its Solution Machine design and for trademarks for the Styro Solve Solution,
Polygel and the Solution Machine, within approximately the next two to three
months.
(8) GOVERNMENTAL APPROVAL. At this point in time, there is no need for
government approval of IFS, Inc.'s principal products or services.
10
<PAGE> 11
(9) GOVERNMENTAL APPROVAL, REGULATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE. The
Styro Solve solution utilized in the Styro Solve System is non-hazardous and
biodegradable and therefore not subject to state or federal regulations that
would otherwise apply to hazardous substances. IFS, Inc. is and otherwise will
be subject to local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations concerning
the operation of businesses generally. On July 1, 1999 the US Environmental
Protection Agency, Region4 (EPA), along with the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection, Southeast District (FDEP), conducted a Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) compliance evaluation inspection at
International Foam Solutions, Inc. located in Delray Beach, Florida, for the
purpose of determining its compliance with the Resources Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA). The letter received form the EPA and signed by Jeffery T.
Pallas, Chief, Southeast Enforcement and Compliance Branch, dated January 21,
2000 states "that no violations of RCRA were discovered." The report further
states that "IFS does not generate, treat, store or dispose of hazardous wastes.
.....and no violations were discovered."
(10) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. IFS, Inc., on its own initiative, as
well as with third parties, is engaged in limited research and development
concerning potentially new proprietary applications for the Styro Solve
solution.
(11) EMPLOYEES. As of December, 1999, IFS, Inc. had four (4) full-time
employees. IFS, Inc. also engages sales representatives and independent
distributors. None of IFS, Inc.'s employees is represented by a labor union, and
IFS, Inc. considers its employee relations to be good. IFS, Inc. does not
anticipate the number of employees to grow significantly over the next twelve
months. IFS, Inc. believes that its future success will depend in part on its
continued ability to attract, hire and retain qualified personnel.
Item 2. Description of Property.
IFS, Inc.'s executive offices are located in, and substantially all of
its operating activities are conducted from, its leased office space located at
1885 Southwest 4th Avenue, Building B-3, Delray Beach, FL 33444. IFS, Inc.
believes that it will be able to obtain suitable space as needed at competitive
market rates and has the physical ability to acquire additional office space at
its current location. IFS, Inc. leases approximately 3,000 square feet of office
and warehouse space and does not own any real estate. IFS, Inc. is not in the
business of investing in real estate or real estate mortgages.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
The Company is involved in certain legal proceedings which are described
below:
(1) Greenfield v. IFS, et al., case no. 98-005083 in the Palm Beach Circuit
Court. Leo Greenfield is an alleged stockholder of IFS who sued IFS for,
among other things, breach of fiduciary duty and related causes of action.
He has also sought to appoint a receiver of the corporation. He claims that
many IFS transactions were conflict of interest transactions, and seeks to
void same. The matter is in the discovery phase of the litigation. No trial
11
<PAGE> 12
dates have been set. IFS' counsel and Mr. Greenfield have reached a verbal
agreement to fully resolve the matter, however, Mr. Greenfield has failed
to execute the documents. This case will be vigorously defended by IFS.
(2) Florida First Capital Finance Corporation v. IFS, et al., case no.
C1099-371-35, Orange County Circuit Court. The plaintiff sued IFS for
default of a promissory note. IFS is currently behind in its payments in
excess of approximately $50,000. While IFS has certain defenses to the
plaintiff's claim, IFS nonetheless owes the plaintiff a certain sum of
money under the strict terms of the promissory note. IFS is making
arrangements to become current with the plaintiff through anticipated funds
from its current private placement offering. However, the Plaintiff seeks
to accelerate the loan, against which $200,000 has been borrowed by IFS.
The litigation is in the discovery phase. The Plaintiff has not actively
pursued this matter since June 1999. IFS is considering a potential
counter-claim for defamation against this Plaintiff which could have the
effect of offsetting, to an uncertain degree, the amount allegedly owed to
the Plaintiff.
(3) Dichiara v. IFS, case number CL 98-9930 AH, in the Palm Beach County
Circuit Court. Mr. Dichiara is a former employee who has sued IFS for,
among other things, breach of an employment contract. Dichiara claims he is
entitled to a severance pay in the amount of approximately $80,000 under
the employment contract because he alleges he was terminated without cause.
The Plaintiff, if successful, would be entitled to his attorney's fees
under applicable law. However, IFS entered into a new contract with
Dichiara which, in IFS' opinion acted as a novation of the former agreement
with Dichiara, and as such Dichiara was not entitled to the severance under
the former employment agreement. A trial is scheduled for sometime in
November, 2000. This case will be vigorously defended by IFS.
(4) Ecological Technologies, Inc. v. IFS, case number 98-003218 in the Palm
Beach County Circuit Court. This case has been partially resolved. The only
remaining issue is a claim IFS is doing business in Japan, where the
plaintiff claims he has exclusive territorial rights. No trial date has
been set and the parties will engage in discovery on this separate claim
for damages. IFS has taken the position that this claim is frivolous and
IFS will vigorously defend this lawsuit.
(5) Robert Kauffman v. IFS, et al., case number 99012968, in the Broward County
Circuit Court. The former CEO of IFS has sued IFS for, among other things,
breach of an employment agreement, claiming damages in excess of $150,000.
However, based on information provided by IFS to the undersigned, Kauffman
materially breached the employment agreement and was subsequently
terminated for cause. This case is in the discovery phase and IFS intends
to vigorously defend this matter.
(6) IFS received a letter from WRC, Inc., who claims that it is owed eleven
thousand one hundred sixty six dollars and seventy nine cents ($11,166.79)
as a deficiency balance from a sale of cleaning equipment resulting from an
alleged default under the lease. IFS denies that any sum is owed. No
litigation has been filed and it has been over six months since the demand
letter was written by WRC
(7) Keefer v. International Foam Solutions, Inc., case no. 98-006525, Palm
Beach County, Florida, Circuit Court. Mr. Keefer is a former employee who
has sued the Company for alleged breach of an employment contract. Mr.
12
<PAGE> 13
Keefer claims he is entitled to a severance pay in the amount of
approximately $56,000 under an employment contract because he alleges he
was terminated without cause. However, it is the Company's position that
Mr. Keefer walked off the job and effectively quit, and accordingly, is not
entitled to any severance under the employment agreement. In February 2000,
the Company settled this matter. The settlement requires that the Company
issue restricted stock to the Plaintiff and make certain payments over the
course of less than one year. The exact terms of the settlement are
confidential by agreement of the parties.

Market Information
IFS, Inc.'s Common Stock currently trades on the "Pink Sheets." Prior
to December 15, 1999, IFS, Inc.'s common stock was traded on the
Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (OTC:BB) under the trading symbol "IFOS". IFS,
Inc.'s Common Stock was listed for trading on the OTC:BB on September 17, 1998,
at which time there was a trading market for such shares. Since such time there
has been a limited trading market for IFS, Inc.'s Common Stock. OTC Quotations
presented reflect inter-dealer prices with related retail mark-up or commission
and may not represent actual transactions. Effective November 15, 1999, IFS,
Inc. was no longer in compliance with the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. (NASD(R)) filing requirements. Accordingly, the letter "E" was
appended to the trading symbol. IFS recently cleared comments at the SEC in
connection with its Form 10-SB, however, it cannot be re-listed on the OTC:BB
until such time as it is current in all of its filings. Once the NASD receives
notification that IFS, Inc. has fully complied with the filing requirements IFS,
Inc. intends to take the necessary actions to become relisted on the OTC:BB.
The following table sets forth the average closing prices for the
Common Stock for each calendar quarter and subsequent interim period since the
Common Stock commenced actual trading, as reported by the National Quotation
Bureau, and represent the average closing price at the end of the business day:

There can be no assurance that an active public market for the Common
Stock will develop or be sustained. In addition, the shares of Common Stock are
subject to various governmental or regulatory body rules which affect the
liquidity of the shares.
On December 31, 1999, there were 185 registered holders on record of
the common stock of the Company. On May 25, 2000 there were 181 registered
holders on record of the common stock of the Company.
The Company has not paid any dividends on its common stock at any time.
Section 607.06401 of Florida Statutes prohibits the payment of dividends by any
corporation which, after taking into account such dividend, would not be able to
pay its debts as they become due or which would result in such corporation's
total assets being less than its total liabilities. This provision may prohibit
the Company from paying dividends unless the Company obtain significant new
capital. In addition, the Company's ability to pay cash dividend on its common
stock is limited due to covenants contained in its loan documents. The Company's
management does not anticipate paying any dividends for the foreseeable future.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
This Form 10-KSB contains certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to
financial condition, results of operations and business of IFS, Inc., which
could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. The
words "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "plan" and
similar expressions identify certain of such forward looking statements, which
speak only as of the date of which they were made. All statements herein other
than those consisting solely of historical facts, that address activities,
events or development that IFS, Inc. expects or anticipates will or may occur in
the future, including such things as business strategy, measures to implement
strategy, competitive strengths, goals, projected revenues, costs and other
financial results. References to future success and other events may be
forward-looking statements.
(a) Financial Condition, Changes in Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
15
<PAGE> 16
DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 1998
REVENUES
Revenues for 1999 increased by approximately $24,000 (or 51%) over 1998
which in absolute dollars is not a significant increase over the prior year.
The Company believes the sales increase is partially attributable to the
increased sales activity by management.
COST OF SALES
Cost of sales for the year 1999 increased by approximately $19,000 (or
54%) from 1998. The increase was directly attributable to the increase in sales.
For the same period, the gross profit margin decreased by 2% which resulted
mainly from an increase in freight-in expense.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative for the 1999 year increased by
approximately $441,000 (or 90%) from 1998. The increase was primarily
attributable to $82,000 of compensation expense from the granting of certain
stock options in 1999, increases in officer compensation of $97,000, increase in
research and development ($51,000), travel and marketing ($39,000), insurance
($20,000) and professional fees ($62,000).
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization decreased by $11,000. The decrease was
attributable to the fact that in 1998 the Company depreciated in full certain
assets.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Interest expense increased by $8,000 (or 27%). This increase is
attributable to increased outstanding debt during 1999 as compared to 1998,
combined with higher average interest rates.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
No provision for current income taxes was required in either 1999 or
1998 due to the loss reported for such years (see Note 4 to the financial
statements). Further, given the uncertainties as to realization, the Company's
deferred tax assets have been fully reserved.
16
<PAGE> 17
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
During 1999, IFS, Inc.'s sources of cash, primarily from financing
activities included proceeds from the sale of common stock and the exercise of
options aggregating $714,170. In an effort to raise working capital and to fund
its operations, the Company offered restricted common shares to certain
accredited investors. During 1999, IFS, Inc. raised approximately $669,000 for
the sale of 4,142,000 shares to private investors.
Operating activities used cash primarily due to IFS, Inc.'s continued
inability to achieve a profitable level of operations. The increase in cash used
in operating activities from $(166,421) in 1998 to $(574,537)in 1999, was
principally attributed to an increase in the net loss of $429,144.
The material terms of the shareholder and bank loans as of December
31, 1999 consist of: (i) Equipment notes to Florida First Capital Finance Corp.
of $177,800 payable in monthly installments of $3,030 including principal and
interest at a fixed rate of 6.5%, maturing July 1, 2004, collateralized by
equipment. IFS, Inc. is in default under the terms of this loan and in violation
of certain convenants, (ii) Shareholder loans from Harvey Katz and Claudia
Iovino (also officers of the Company) of $67,746 payable in monthly principal
installments of $5,000 and interest computed at prime rate (due on March 1,
2001), (iii) Equipment loans from CMC, Inc. of $87,917 payable in monthly
installments of $3,555 including principal and interest, maturing in June 2003,
(iv) Shareholder loan from Harvey Katz and Claudia Iovino of $30,898 principal
and interest due 90 days after date of note, which is past due and accrue
interest at a 10% annual fixed rate, and (v) Related party loan from HKI, Inc.
of $20,000 principal and interest due 90 days after date of note, which is past
due and accrues interest at a 10% annual fixed rate.
IFS, Inc. is a guarantor for a shareholder's loan to the Israel
Discount Bank, Ltd. During 1999, both the shareholder and IFS, Inc. (as
guarantor) were in default. In this connection, IFS, Inc. and its shareholders
entered in a forbearance agreement with the bank on June 19, 1999. Among other
things, the forbearance agreement provides for the collateralization of all of
IFS, Inc.'s assets and a rescheduling of the amounts due.
IFS, Inc.'s financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis,
which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities
in the normal course of business. During the latter part of 1997 and 1998 the
Company experienced protracted litigation which diverted management's efforts
from its core business, and effectively curtailed the Company's marketing
programs. During 1999 certain aspects of the previously mentioned litigation
were resolved and the Company was able to refocus and continue its marketing
17
<PAGE> 18
efforts. IFS, Inc. has been in settlement negotiations to reduce the quantity of
outstanding litigation and the threat of any potentially adverse findings.
Management believes that resolving many of these matters through settlements
will enable it to focus much more of its attention on sales and to spend more of
its time on sales activities. Management believes that with the increased time
spent on marketing efforts, increased sales will result. Since it envisions
primarily an increase of time spent by management in marketing and sales
activities, as opposed to increased costs for, among other things, advertising,
the Company does not foresee the need for substantial, additional capital to
perform such increased marketing and sales activities. In the event that
substantial, additional capital is required, however, the Company would be
required to seek outside funding mechanisms, of which no assurances are given
that any funding would be made available to the Company or if made available, on
terms satisfactory to the Company.
IFS, Inc. is currently a party to several lawsuits, which are in
various stages of litigation. Any material adverse decision against IFS, Inc. in
any of such lawsuits will, in all likelihood, have a material adverse effect
upon IFS, Inc. and its operations. See "PART II- ITEM 2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS."
By the end of 1999, IFS was informed that RFPs (Request For Proposal)
were being prepared for submission to IFS. RFPs are essentially request for bids
for the polystyrene recycling needs of the potential customer. RFPs are normally
submitted after on site testing. They are required for new, specific items and
are required by larger local, county and state agencies. RFPs are ordinarily
submitted for large purchases and for these purchases to occur over a period of
3-5 years.
The types of potential clients that have submitted RFPs to IFS during
2000 include multiple school districts and large corporations with in-house
cafeterias. Most of these potential customers are either currently testing the
Styro Solve System or are scheduled to begin testing the Styro Solve System
within the next sixty days. School districts, unlike commercial businesses, may
have three different budget periods with different year ends (June 30, September
30 and December 31). The Styro Solve System is being considered for three school
districts' June 30 budget and if approved, IFS would begin shipment of products
in the third and fourth quarters of this year.
During 2000, IFS has provided live demonstrations to approximately 25
potential customers and has received further interest, some of whom have
informed IFS that they are requesting funds for the Styro Solve System in their
budgets. Although no assurances can be given that any such potential customers
will in fact order IFS products, some of these potential customers have already
utilized, seen or tested the Styro Solve System and determined that they desire
IFS' products. Currently these potential customers have not submitted orders for
IFS products.
Unlike the Internet, the market for IFS is not relatively new and
rapidly evolving. The market is established and there is long standing need for
reductions in waste disposal costs. New legislation in various parts of the
country have been enacted to reduce waste disposal by a 50% volume in landfills,
which management believes makes the Styro Solve System even more viable. IFS
believes that the Styro Solve System is the only economical, closed loop,
polystyrene recycling process available in the world today.
18
<PAGE> 19
In accordance with the Company's business plan, if IFS is able to
obtain additional funding, of which no assurances are given, IFS intends to
expand its operations and employee base, including sales, marketing, technical,
operational and customer support resources. IFS also intends to further develop
new and existing strategic relationships to expand its distribution channels,
such as with Dippy Foods in California.
IFS, Inc. anticipates, based on current plans and assumptions relating
to revenues from operations, that revenues from operations and additional third
party funding or investment, if available, will be sufficient to satisfy the
Company's estimated cash requirements to continue its operations for the
foreseeable future. IFS, Inc. has no firm current arrangements with respect to,
or sources of, additional financing. There can be no assurance that any such
additional financing will be available to the Company, and if available, will
enable the Company to attain profitable operations or continue as a going
concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the
possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the
amount of classification of liabilities that may result from the possible
inability of IFS, Inc. to continue as a going concern. Through December 31,
1999, the Company has incurred losses totaling $(6,178,421). Negative working
capital aggregated $(478,419) at December 31, 1999. In addition, the Company is
in violation of certain of its loan covenants.
Going Concern Opinion. The Company's independent public accountants
have added an explanatory paragraph to their audit opinion issued in connection
with the 1999 and 1998 financial statements which states that the Company's
dependence on outside financing, working capital deficits, violation of certain
loan covenants and losses since inception, raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
To the extent that IFS, Inc. is able to obtain financing of at least
approximately $2,000,000, IFS, Inc. intends to utilize such funds primarily for
sales and marketing activities as well as for reduction of outstanding long and
short term debt obligations and for the construction of a recycling facility.
Management anticipates that such funds, if obtained, of which no assurances are
given, together with cash flow from operations, will be sufficient to finance
IFS, Inc.'s working capital requirements for approximately the next twelve
months. To the extent IFS, Inc. is unable to secure such approximate amount of
financing, IFS, Inc. plans to utilize any funds received for the same purposes
and in the same order of priority on an approximate pro-rata basis, subject to
the discretion of management to reallocate the usage of such funds. To the
extent IFS, Inc. is only able to secure minimal financing, its level of
operations will be materially and adversely effected.
IFS, Inc. has no material commitments for capital expenditures.
Solution Machines are purchased by IFS, Inc. on an "as needed" basis based upon
orders received from IFS, Inc.'s customers.
Other than IFS, Inc.'s school customers, there are no seasonal aspects
that have had a material effect on IFS, Inc.'s financial condition or results of
operation.
19
<PAGE> 20
From time to time IFS, Inc. may evaluate potential acquisitions
involving complementary businesses, products or technologies. IFS, Inc. has no
present agreements or understanding with respect to any such acquisition. IFS,
Inc.'s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including entry
into strategic alliances, increases in advertising, marketing and promotions,
growth of IFS, Inc.'s customer base, general economic conditions and other
factors including the results of future operations. IFS, Inc. currently has four
full time employees. Management does not currently expect that it will be
required to hire a significant number of additional employees in the next 12
months or until the larger RFP are received.
During the 12 month period following the filing of this Form10KS-B,
IFS, Inc. intends to seek and obtain additional debt and/or equity financing to
further develop its business operations, principally sales and marketing. No
assurances are given that IFS, Inc. will be able to successfully obtain
sufficient debt and/or equity financing on terms acceptable to IFS, Inc. There
are no current commitments for financing IFS, Inc.'s operations. IFS, Inc.'s
inability, for whatever reason, to secure additional financing on terms
acceptable to IFS, Inc. will have a material adverse effect on IFS, Inc. and its
operations.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
To the extent permitted by competition, IFS, Inc. passes increased
costs attributable to inflation to its customers by increased sales prices over
a reasonable period of time. Also it is IFS, Inc.'s policy to place all of its
major supplier purchases out to bid.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. It requires that an
entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measures those instruments at fair value.
The statement applies to all entities and is effective for all fiscal quarters
of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. IFS, Inc. did not engage in
derivative instruments or hedging activities in any periods presented in the
financial statements and management does not expect this statement to have a
material impact on IFS, Inc.'s financial position, results of operation, or cash
flows.

Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
During the past two (2) years, IFS, Inc. has not entered into a
transaction with a value in excess of $60,000 with a director, officer or
beneficial owner of 5% or more of IFS, Inc.'s Common Stock, except as disclosed
in the following paragraphs:
On or about May 20, 1993, IFS, Inc. entered into a five year agreement
with HKI, Inc., whereby IFS, Inc. granted to HKI the exclusive manufacturing and
bottling rights for the Styro Solve Solution. The agreement provided that as
long as HKI, Inc. could timely provide IFS, Inc. with the Styro Solve Solution,
IFS would purchase the Styro Solve Solution from HKI, Inc. The agreement
provided for two renewal periods of five years each. Such amounts aggregated
$4,000 in 1998 and $0 in 1999. Neither company renewed the agreement when it
expired on or about May 20, 1998. HKI, Inc. is a Florida Corporation related to
IFS due to its common ownership by Claudia Iovino. Mrs. Iovino, a principal of
IFS, Inc. owns a controlling interest in HKI, Inc.
On or about October 21, 1997, IFS, Inc. borrowed from its officers,
Mrs. Claudia Iovino and Mr. Harvey Katz, $134,700. This loan is payable in
monthly principal installments of $5,000 and interest computed at prime rate.
Amounts outstanding as of December 31, 1999 totaled $67,746.
IFS, Inc. is a guarantor for the shareholder's loan to the bank. During
1999, both the shareholder and IFS, Inc. (as guarantor) were in default. In this
connection, IFS, Inc. and its shareholders entered into a forbearance agreement
with the bank on June 19, 1999. Among other things, the forbearance agreement
provides for the collateralization of all of IFS, Inc.'s assets and a
rescheduling of the amounts due.

<PAGE> 27
During the year ended December 31, 1997, IFS, Inc. issued 181,360
shares of common stock to Harvey Katz, in satisfaction of accrued compensation
of $272,040 that was recorded in 1996. IFS, Inc. also granted warrants to
purchase 181,360 shares of common stock at $2.50 per share expiring on May 31,
2001. Additionally, during 1999, 300,000 shares of common stock were issued to
him for compensation aggregating $80,000.
Through December 31, 1999, IFS, Inc. has borrowed from Harvey Katz and
Claudia Iovino, the amount of $105,600 for working capital. The loans bear
interest at 10% and are payable over a 90 day period. All loans are past due.
Amounts outstanding at December 31, 1999 aggregated $30,898.
During the year ended December 31, 1997, IFS, Inc. issued 158,167
shares of common stock to Claudia Iovino in satisfaction of accrued compensation
of $237,250 that was earned and recorded in 1996. IFS, Inc. also granted
warrants to purchase 158,167 shares of common stock at $2.50 per share expiring
on May 31, 2001. Additionally, during 1999, 300,000 shares of common stock were
issued to her for compensation aggregating $80,000. Refer to Item 4 for further
details.
Between April 1, 1999 and July 31, 1999, IFS, Inc. issued Antonio
Bianco, an officer, options to purchase 1,150,000 shares of IFS, Inc.'s common
stock at prices ranging from $.10 to $1.00. The options vest from April 1999 to
April 2000 and have expiration dates ranging from July 1999 to April 2002. IFS,
Inc. valued these options using the Black-Scholes Method. 450,000 options were
exercised during 1999.
On or about May 1, 1998, IFS, Inc. executed an employment agreement
with Robert Kauffman for Mr. Kauffman to serve as IFS, Inc.'s chief executive
officer for a period of five years. The terms of the agreement generally
provided for Mr. Kauffman to act as chief executive officer at a $150,000 per
year salary. IFS, Inc. contends that Mr. Kauffman never activated the contract
or assumed the position for which he had been contracted and had otherwise
materially and repeatedly breached the agreement.
IFS, Inc. currently shares office space with HKI, Inc., which is
currently owned primarily by Claudia Iovino, IFS, Inc.'s president. IFS, Inc.
subleases space from HKI, Inc. at a rent of $12,000 per year, which includes
electricity. The companies maintain their own telephone lines and currently pay
their own office expenses.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
International Foam Solutions, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of International Foam Solutions,
Inc. as of December 31, 1999 and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1999 and
1998. 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 audit 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 International Foam Solutions,
Inc. at December 31, 1999 and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial
statements, the Company has cumulative losses since its inception in 1993, has a
working capital deficit, is in violation of certain loan covenants, and is
dependent upon outside financing to expand its operations. These factors raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's
plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT Organization and Business
ACCOUNTING
POLICIES International Foam Solutions, Inc, ("the
Company"), was incorporated in May of 1993 to
distribute a patented recycling technology
for polystyrenes. Pursuant to the patent, the
Company has developed a product called "Styro
Solve" which reduces polystyrenes.
Additionally, the Company has developed a
variety of machines for the application of
Styro Solve, and methods of recycling both
the Styro Solve and the "polygel" which
results from the reduction of polystyrenes.
During 1999, three customers accounted for
48% of the Company's sales. Substantially all
the Company's 1998 sales were to two
companies.
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
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.
At December 31, 1999, a significant portion
of inventory is in excess of the Company's
requirements based on its recent level of
sales. Management has developed a program to
reduce this inventory to desired levels
during 2000 and believes no loss will be
incurred on its disposition. No estimate can
be made of a range of amounts of loss that
are reasonably possible should the program
not be successful.
Inventories
Inventories consist principally of finished
goods and are stated at the lower of cost or
market. Cost is determined using the average
cost method.
F-7
<PAGE> 37
INTERNATIONAL FOAM SOLUTIONS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and amortization.
Depreciation and amortization are calculated
on a straight line basis based on the
estimated useful lives of the respective
assets, generally 5 to 15 years.
Patents
Patent costs consist principally of
associated legal fees and are capitalized and
amortized over their expected useful lives
not to exceed estimated legal lives of 17
years.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist
principally of cash, accounts and notes
payable and accrued expenses. The carrying
amounts of such financial instruments as
reflected in the accompanying balance sheet
approximate their estimated fair value. The
estimated fair value is not necessarily
indicative of the amounts the Company could
realize in a current market exchange or of
future earnings or cash flows.
Revenue Recognition
Product sales revenue is generally recognized
when goods are shipped. License fees are
recognized over the period that the Company
is obligated to perform services, if any.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes
pursuant to the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," which
requires, among other things, a liability
approach to calculating deferred income
taxes. The asset and liability approach
requires the recognition of deferred tax
liabilities and assets for the expected
future tax consequences of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts and
the tax bases of assets and liabilities.
F-8
<PAGE> 38
INTERNATIONAL FOAM SOLUTIONS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share excludes dilution
and is computed by dividing income or loss
available to common shares outstanding for
the period by the weighted average of common
shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per
share is computed similarly to fully diluted
earnings per share in accordance with the
Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion
No. 15.
For each calendar year 1999 and 1998, the
Company's potentially issuable shares of
common stock pursuant to outstanding stock
purchase options and warrants have been
excluded from the Company's diluted
computation as their effect would be
antidilutive to the Company's net loss.
Asset Impairment
The Company periodically reviews the carrying
value of certain of its assets in relation to
historical results, current business
conditions and trends to identify potential
situations in which the carrying value of its
assets may not be recoverable. If such
reviews indicate that the carrying value of
such assets may not be recoverable, the
Company would estimate the undiscounted sum
of the expected future cash flows of such
assets to ascertain if a permanent impairment
exists. If a permanent impairment exists, the
Company would determine the fair value using
quoted market prices, if available, for such
assets, or if quoted market prices are not
available, the Company would discount the
expected future cash flows of such assets.
Impairments are recognized as a charge to
operations when the expected future operating
cash flows to be derived from such intangible
assets are less than their carrying values.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1999, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities," which establishes
F-9
<PAGE> 39
INTERNATIONAL FOAM SOLUTIONS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments and for hedging
activities. It requires that an entity
recognizes all derivatives as either assets
or liabilities in the statement of financial
position and measures those instruments at
fair value. The statement, as amended,
applies to all entities and is effective for
all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000. The Company did not
engage in derivative instrument transactions
or hedging activities in any periods
presented in the financial statements and
management does not expect this statement to
have a material impact on the Company's
financial position, results of operations, or
cash flows.
2. LIQUIDITY The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared assuming the Company will
continue as a going concern. This basis of
accounting contemplates the recovery of the
Company's assets and the satisfaction of its
liabilities in the normal course of
operations.
During the latter part of 1997, 1998 and
1999, the Company experienced protracted
litigation which diverted management's
efforts from its core business, and
effectively curtailed the Company's marketing
programs. The Company has been in settlement
negotiations to reduce the quantity of
outstanding litigation and the threat of any
potentially adverse findings. Management
believes that resolving many of these matters
through settlements will enable it to focus
much more of its attention on sales and to
spend more of its time on sales activities.
Management believes that with the increased
time spent on marketing efforts, increased
sales will result. Since it will be mostly an
increase of time spent by management which
will be utilized in marketing and sales
activities as opposed to increased costs for,
among other things, advertising, the Company
does not foresee the need for substantial,
additional capital to perform such increased
marketing and sales activities. In the event
that substantial, additional capital is
required, however, the Company would be
required to seek outside funding mechanisms,
F-10

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of which no assurances can be given that any
funding would be made available to the
Company or if made available, on terms
satisfactory to the Company. During 1999
certain aspects of the previously mentioned
litigation were resolved and the Company was
able to refocus and continue its marketing
efforts.
Over the past three months, the Company has
received a number of RFPs (Request For
Proposal) which are essentially requests by
school boards, corporations, etc., for bids
from vendors, for certain products and
services, which, in the Company's case, is
for the polystyrene recycling needs of the
potential customer. It has been the Company's
experience that RFPs are normally submitted
after on site testing and are required for
new, specific items to be purchased by larger
local, county and state agencies.
The Company has recently received RFPs from
potential customers that include multiple
school districts and large corporations with
in-house cafeterias. These customers are
either currently testing the Styro Solve
System or are scheduled to begin testing the
Styro Solve System within the next 180 days.
School districts, unlike commercial
businesses, often have three different budget
periods with different fiscal year ends (June
30, September 30 and December 31). The Styro
Solve System is currently being considered
for the Food Service Budget for certain
school districts June 30 budgets and if
approved, will begin related shipments in the
third and fourth quarters of the year 2000.
The Company has provided live demonstrations
to a number of potential customers and has
received further interest, some of whom have
informed the Company that they are allocating
funds for the Stryo Solve System in their
budgets. No assurances can be given that any
such potential customers will in fact order
the Company products.
The Company anticipates, based on current
plans and assumptions relating to revenues
from operations, that revenues from
operations and additional third party funding
or investment, if available, will be
sufficient to satisfy the Company's estimated
cash requirements to continue its operations
for the foreseeable future.

<PAGE> 41
INTERNATIONAL FOAM SOLUTIONS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company believes that the Styro Solve
System is the only economical, closed loop,
polystyrene recycling process available in
the world today.
The Company has no firm current arrangements
with respect to, or sources of, additional
financing. There can be no assurance that any
such additional financing will be available
to the Company, and if available, will enable
the Company to attain profitable operations
or continue as a going concern. Through
December 31, 1999, the Company has incurred
losses since inception totaling $6,178,421
and has negative working capital aggregating
$478,419 as of December 31, 1999. In
addition, the Company is in violation of
certain of its loan covenants and has

1999, the agreements were modified to
increase total annual salaries to $175,500.
In connection with these employment
agreements, in 1999, the Company recorded

Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in several legal
proceedings for which the accompanying
balance sheet as of December 31, 1999,
includes accrued legal settlements of
$83,000. The proceedings are as described
below:
(1) Greenfield v. International Foam
Solutions, Inc., et al., case no.
98-005083 in Palm Beach Circuit
Court, Palm Beach County, Florida.
Leo Greenfield is an alleged Company
stockholder who sued the Company for,
among other things, breach of
fiduciary duty and related causes of
action. He has also sought to appoint
a receiver for the corporation. He
claims that many IFS transactions
involved conflicts of interest and
seeks to void same. The matter is in
the discovery phase of the
litigation. No trial dates have been
set. The Company and Mr. Greenfield
have reached a verbal agreement to
fully resolve the matter, however, no
written agreements have been executed
although they have been sent to Mr.
Greenfield for his signature several
months ago. The Company intends to
continue to vigorously defend this
F-16

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
matter in the event that settlement
documents are not executed. No amount
of claim has been asserted, the
Company and counsel believes that IFS
will be successful in defending this
matter.
(2) Florida First Capital Finance
Corporation v. International Foam
Solutions, Inc., et al., case no.
C1099-371-35, Orange County Circuit
Court, Orange County, Florida. In
January 1999, the plaintiff sued the
Company alleging that it is in
default of a promissory note in the
principal amount of $200,000. The
Company contends it does not owe the
full amount allegedly past due. The
proceeding is in the discovery phase.
No trial dates have been set. The
Company has recorded the outstanding
amount due of the promissory note on
the accompanying balance sheet as of
December 31, 1999.
(3) Keefer v. International Foam
Solutions, Inc., case no. 98-006525,
Palm Beach County, Florida, Circuit
Court. Mr. Keefer is a former
employee who has sued the Company for
alleged breach of an employment
contract. Mr. Keefer claims he is
entitled to a severance pay in the
amount of approximately $56,000 under
an employment contract because he
alleges he was terminated without
cause. However, it is the Company's
position that Mr. Keefer walked off
the job and effectively quit, and
accordingly, is not entitled to any
severance under the employment
agreement. In February 2000, the
Company settled this matter. The
settlement requires that the Company
issue restricted stock to the
Plaintiff and make certain payments
over the course of less than one
year. The exact terms of the
settlement are confidential by
agreement of the parties.
(4) D'Agostino v. International Foam
Solutions, Inc., case no. 98-6523 AB,
Palm Beach County, Florida Circuit
Court. Mr. D'Agostino is a former
employee who has sued the Company for
breach of an employment contract.

approximately $42,000 under an
employment contract because he
F-17
<PAGE> 47

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
alleges he was terminated without
cause. However, the Company
terminated D'Agostino with cause and
accordingly, D'Agostino was not
entitled to the severance under the
employment agreement. In February
2000, the Company settled this
matter. The settlement requires that
the Company issue restricted stock to
the Plaintiff and make certain
payments over the course of less than
one year. The exact terms of the
settlement are confidential by
agreement of the parties.
(5) Dichiara v. International Foam
Solutions, Inc., case number CL
98-9930 AH, in the Palm Beach County
Florida Circuit Court. Mr. Dichiara
is a former employee who has sued the
Company for, among other things,
alleged breach of an employment
contract. Dichiara claims he is
entitled to severance pay in the
amount of approximately $80,000 under
the employment contract because he
alleges he was terminated without
cause. However, the Company contends
that it entered into a new agreement
with Dichiara to be employed in a
different capacity, which was treated
as a novation of the former agreement
with Dichiara, and as such Dichiara
was not entitled to the severance
under the former employment
agreement. A trial has been scheduled
for November 2000, and will be
vigorously defended by the Company.
(6) Ecological Technologies, Inc., v.
International Foam Solutions, Inc.,
case number 98-003218 in the Palm
Beach County, Florida Circuit Court.
The Plaintiff sued the Company for
breach of a promissory note and is
attempting to foreclose on certain
Japanese patent rights of the Company
which were pledged as collateral for
the note. A judgment was entered
against the Company in the amount of
approximately $11,000, which the
Company has paid in full. The
plaintiff also sued the Company for
damages due to its allegation that
the Company is doing business in
Japan, where the plaintiff claims it
F-18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
has exclusive territorial rights, a
claim which the Company denies. No
trial date has been set and the
parties will engage in discovery on
this separate claim for damages. The
Company will vigorously defend this
lawsuit.
(7) Robert Kauffman v. International Foam
Solutions, Inc., et al., case number
99012968, in the Broward County
Florida Circuit Court. Mr. Kauffman,
who has alleged that he was the
former CEO of the Company has sued
the Company for, among other things,
breach of an employment agreement,
claiming damages in excess of
$150,000 resulting from the Company's
alleged breach of the employment
agreement. It is the Company's
position that Mr. Kauffman, although
he executed the agreement, never
activated the contract or assumed the
role of CEO and otherwise materially
failed to perform under the
agreement. This case is in the
discovery phase and the Company
intends to vigorously defend this
matter. In this connection, the
Company does not believe it has any
obligations to Mr. Kauffman.
Accordingly, it is too early for
management to assess the likelihood
of success, therefore no amounts have
been accrued as of December 31, 1999.
(8) Waterview Resolution Corp. ("WRC").
WRC has sent the Company a demand
letter seeking the payment of $11,167
which WRC claims is a deficiency
balance owed by the Company when WRC
sold certain equipment in connection
with an alleged default of an
equipment lease. The Company denies
that any sums are due under any lease
agreement. The parties have not
engaged in any settlement discussions
and no claim has been filed, although
WRC still claims such amount is due.
Accordingly, it is too early for
management to assess the likelihood
of success, and therefore no amounts
have been accrued.
The Company is or may become involved in
various lawsuits, claims and proceedings in
the normal course of its business, including
those pertaining to product liability,
environmental, safety and health, and
F-19

employment matters. The Company records
liabilities when loss amounts are determined
to be probable and reasonably estimatable.
Insurance recoveries are recorded only when
claims for recovery are settled. Although
generally the outcome of litigation cannot be
predicted with certainty and some lawsuits,
claims or proceedings may be disposed of
unfavorably to the Company, management
believes, based on facts presently known,
that the outcome of such legal proceedings
and claims, other than those previously
disclosed, will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial position,
liquidity, or future results of operations.
7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company entered into an agreement with
HKI, Inc. ("HKI") in a prior year, a company
related through common ownership. Under the
