                         INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT





To the Board of Directors of:
The Hydrogiene Corporation & Subsidiaries
   (a development stage company)

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related
consolidated statements of operations and consolidated cash flows of The
Hydrogiene Corporation and Subsidiaries (a development stage company) as of
September 30, 2000, and for the three month and nine month periods then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquires of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       The accompanying reviewed interim consolidated financial statements have
          been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
          principles and the rules and regulations of the Securities and
          Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly,
          they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a
          comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of
          operations.

       It is management's opinion, however, that all adjustments (consisting of
          normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a
          fair financial statement presentation. The results for the interim
          period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
          for the year.

       For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements

          8% Convertible Debenture convertible into common stock of the Company
          with interest payable quarterly in common stock or cash at the option
          of the Investors. The agreement was not signed by an officer and
          therefore the agreement is in dispute.

       During the three months ended September 30, 2000 the Company entered into
          a Convertible Note $500,000 which is secured by an interest in certain

          defaulted on the note and as a settlement, agreed to voluntarily

          unavailability of some records the total number of valid common stock

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

       OVERVIEW

       The Hydrogiene Corporation ("Hydrogiene" or the "Company") is a
development stage company originally incorporated on December 28, 1995 in the
State of Delaware and reincorporated on August 28, 1997 in the State of
California. The Company's net assets were acquired by a Nevada corporation on
October 13, 1998 and, subsequently, merged into a corporation incorporated in
the State of Florida. The Company manufactures and markets the Hydrogiene family
of personal care systems that convert tank-type and flush-type valve toilets
into personal multi-functional cleansing, water therapy and sitz bath systems.
The Company's systems are similar in function to Europe's bidets without the
additional plumbing and space requirements. To the best knowledge of the
Company, there is no other company in the U.S. engaged in manufacturing or
marketing goods similar to those manufactured or marketed by the Company. While
there are products which can convert a standard toilet to a bidet-type fixture,
the Company believes its product is the only one which can be added to a
standard toilet by the homeowner without modifying the fixture itself.

       The Hydrogiene Corporation has placed primary emphasis on product
development and testing and customer test marketing. The Company has made
limited sales of its products and has been, and is currently operating at a
loss. The Company requires additional funding to continue its operations and to
accomplish its growth objectives and the marketing of its products.

       The Company plans to raise an additional $5,000,000 in the first quarter
of the year 2001, which will provide working capital to fund the Company's
operations for the near term.

       The Company's securities are quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin
Board ("OTCBB") under the symbol HICS.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO
THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

REVENUES

       Hydrogiene's revenues were $8,836 for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 as compared to $21,365 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, a
decrease of 58%. As a development stage company, Hydrogiene is still in the
process of developing its customer base and expects its revenues to increase in
the foreseeable future.

COST OF GOODS SOLD

       The cost of goods sold was $65,466 for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 as compared to $28,185 for the comparable period ended September 30,
1999, an increase of 132%. This increase is related to direct costs of payroll
and material increases during the period.

OPERATING EXPENSES

       The Company's Operating expenses increased to $28,534,829 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $539,277 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999. This increase was attributable to an increase in the
following expense categories: marketing and promotion; consulting services;
officer and employee compensation; research and development; professional fees;


<PAGE>   11


depreciation and amortiation; bad debt expense and selling, general and
administrative expenses. The increases in consulting costs and officer
compensation are in stock-based compensation rather than in salary or other cash
actually paid. The Company engages consultants primarily to generate new
business, identify potential acquisitions, introduce the Company to potential
joint venture partners and to expand Hydrogiene's customer base. As
consideration for these services, the Company has adopted a compensation
strategy based on the issuance of shares of its common stock rather than paying
consulting fees in cash. The Company has developed a similar strategy for
officer and director compensation so that instead of awarding cash bonuses to
officers and directors, Hydrogiene issues shares of its common stock to them as
compensation. Thus Officer Compensation increased to $4,936,013 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000. The Company believes that one of the benefits
of this type of compensation is that it provides officers with an immediate
incentive to focus on improving the Company's financial results and thus
increase the stock price. In addition, although accounting conventions require
that the Company expense the shares issued at their fair market value, the
Company has not had to expend any cash for the receipt of these services.

       Consulting costs were $19,574,923 for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 as compared to $126,210 during the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
This increase is attributable to the issuance of shares of the Company's common
stock as discussed above.

       Employee compensation and taxes increased to $1,106,168 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $78,016 during the nine months
ended September 30, 1999. This increase of 1,318% is attributable to the
Company's hiring of additional personnel including a compliance director,
salespeople, and MIS personnel. A reduction in force was made during September
2000, which has reduced the monthly cash compensation and will impact the fourth
quarter of 2000.

       Professional fees were $736,173 for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 as compared to $106,221 for the comparable period ended September 30, 1999,
an increase of 593.5%. Professional fees consist of fees for legal, accounting
and consulting services performed on behalf of the Company. The increase is due
primarily to the use of consultants and attorneys. A reduction in the use of
outside consultants is being considered and any action taken should impact the
fourth quarter 2000.

       Depreciation and amortization expense was $156,473 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $11,818 during the comparable period
ended September 30, 1999, an increase of 122%. The increase in depreciation and
amortization was attributable primarily to asset acquisitions.

       Bad debt expense was $158,787 during the nine months ended September 30,
2000 as compared to nil during the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

       Selling, General and Administrative expenses were $810,020 during the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $208,234 during the
comparable period ended September 30, 1999, an increase of 289%. The increase
was primarily attributable to expenses associated with the Company's
investigation and analysis of potential acquisitions.

       Total operating expenses were $28,534,829 for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2000 as compared to $539,277 for the nine months ended September

($28,617,184) as compared to a net loss of ($546,065) during the nine months

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

REVENUES

       Hydrogiene's revenues were $1,664 for the three months ended September
30, 2000 as compared to $2,901 for the three months ended September 30, 2000, a
decrease of 43%. As discussed earlier, Hydrogiene is a development stage company
and is in the process of developing its market, attaining more widespread market
acceptance of its products and increasing its distribution channels. Hydrogiene
expects revenues to increase in the foreseeable future.

COST OF GOODS SOLD

       The cost of goods sold was $47,267 for the three months ended September
30, 2000 as compared to $4,949 for the comparable period ended September 30,
1999, a decrease of 85%. This decrease is commensurate with the Company's
decrease in revenues during the period.

OPERATING EXPENSES

       The Company's Operating expenses increased to $8,163,334 for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $165,299 for the three months
ended September 30, 1999. This increase was attributable to an increase in
marketing and promotion, consulting services, officer and employee compensation,
research and development, professional fees, depreciation and amortization, bad
debt expense and selling, general and administrative expenses. As mentioned
earlier, the increases in consulting costs and officer compensation are in
stock-based compensation rather than in salary or other cash actually paid.
Officer Compensation increased to $53,220 for the three months ended September
30, 2000 as compared to nil for the three months ended September 30, 1999.

       Consulting expenses were $6,837,550 for the three months ended September
30, 2000 as compared to $45,421 during the comparable period ended September 30,
1999, an increase attributable primarily to the Company's strategy of issuing
shares of common stock in lieu of paying cash.

       Employee compensation totaled $319,841 for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 as compared to $12,496 for the three months ended September
30, 1999. This increase is attributable to the Company's hiring of additional
personnel including a compliance director, salespeople, and MIS personnel.

<PAGE>   13


       Professional fees were $194,135 for the three months ended September 30,
2000 as compared to $21,967 during the comparable period ended September 30,
1999. The increase is due primarily to the use of consultants and attorneys. A
reduction in the use of outside consultants is being considered and any action
taken should impact the fourth quarter 2000.

       Depreciation and amortization expense was $25,316 for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $3,939 during the comparable period
ended September 30, 1999. The increase in depreciation and amortization was
attributable primarily to asset acquisitions.

       Bad debt expense was $35,787 during the three months ended September 30,
2000 as compared to nil during the three months ended September 30, 1999. The
Company ceased its involvement in ventures it had been pursuing and was
therefore required to write off certain loans which had been extended to the
companies involved in these ventures.

       Selling, General and Administrative expenses totaled $374,933 during the
three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $81,476 during the
comparable period ended September 30, 1999. As mentioned earlier, the increase
was largely attributable to expenses associated with the Company's pursuit and
analysis of potential acquisitions.

       Total operating expenses increased by $7,998,035 to $8,163,334 during the
three-month period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to total operating
expenses of $165,299 for the three months ended September 30, 1999. This
increase was attributable to the various factors discussed earlier.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

       The Company had other income (expense) during the three months ended
September 30, 2000 of ($74,411) as compared to ($36) during the comparable
period ended September 30, 1999. This expense was net of interest income
realized by the Company in the amount of $2,079 for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 as compared to nil in the comparable period ended September
30, 1999.

NET LOSS

       For the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company had a loss of
($8,283,348) as compared to a net loss of ($167,383) during the three months
ended September 30, 1999. This increase is attributable to the Company's
previously noted increase in its various operating expenses and professional
fees.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       The Company had minimal cash capital at the end of the three months ended
September 30, 2000 as well as for the comparable period ended September 30,
1999. The Company will be forced to either borrow funds or to sell shares of its
common stock in order to fund operations. Historically, the Company has financed
its working capital requirements through internally generated funds, that is,
through the sale of shares of its common stock, and proceeds from short-term
bank and other borrowings.

       As of June 30, 2000, the Company had cash capital of $359,727 as compared
with cash capital of nil for the comparable period ended September 30, 1999.


<PAGE>   14


       The Company currently anticipates existing sources of liquidity and cash
to be insufficient to satisfy its operational needs through the next nine
months. To make future acquisitions or for other forthcoming similar expenses,
the Company may seek to increase the amount of its credit facilities, negotiate
additional credit facilities or issue corporate debt or equity securities. Any
debt incurred or issued by the Company may be secured or unsecured, fixed or
variable rate interest and may be subject to such terms as the Board of
Directors of the Company deems prudent. The Company expects any proceeds from
such additional credit or sales of securities to be used primarily in the
development and marketing of its products. No assurances can be given that the
Company will be successful in obtaining any additional credit facilities or in
generating sufficient capital from the sale of its securities to adequately fund
its operational needs.

       The Company does not believe that its business is subject to seasonal
trends.

       The Company does not believe that inflation had a significant impact on
the Company's results of operations for the period presented. On an ongoing
basis, the Company attempts to minimize any effects of inflation on its
operating results by controlling operating costs, and, whenever possible,
seeking to insure that product price rates reflect increases in costs due to
inflation.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

    PURCHASE OF UNIQUE FORMULAS, PROCESSES AND TRADEMARKS FOR USE WITH THE
COMPANY'S PRODUCTS


<PAGE>   16


    Through a wholly owned subsidiary being formed, the Company plans to
purchase certain formulas, processes and trademarks for use in connection with
the manufacture and sale of a new line of beauty and skin care products, which
the Company believes are compatible with its Theraclenze and Mediclenze
products. The trademarks associated with the formulas and processes are well
recognized in the market. Such formulas and processes are unique and the Company
believes that such formulas, processes and trademarks will enable the Company to
market its Theraclenze and Mediclenze and other products more successfully. The
Company anticipates that the cost of such formulas, processes and trademarks
will be in excess of $3 million and that the purchase will not be completed
until some time in the future after the Company has thoroughly tested and
evaluated the formulas and processes.

    LICENSING AGREEMENT WITH LIFEQUEST, INC.

    In a transaction related to the acquisition of formulas, processes and
trademarks, the Company has entered into a Licensing Agreement with LifeQuest,
Inc., a Utah corporation ("LifeQuest"). In accordance with the terms of the
Licensing Agreement, the Company will test and evaluate the formulas and
processes prior to acquiring an exclusive worldwide license with LifeQuest.

    NATIONAL BROKERS & DISTRIBUTORS

    The Company has acquired rights to the name National Brokers & Distributors
from National Capital Companies.

    GOING CONCERN

    These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting
principles applicable to a "going concern" which assume that Hydrogiene will
continue in operation for at least one year and will be able to realize its
assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.
Conditions and events exist which may cast doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a "going concern." The Company has incurred net losses of
approximately $39,368,878 during this development stage. Cash used in operating
activities totaled approximately $39,354,787. As of September 30, 2000 the
Company required additional financing for its business operations.

    The Company's ability to continue as a going concern will depend on numerous
factors including, but not limited to, adequate sources of capital, the ability
to develop profitable results of operations, continued progress in increasing
the Company's cash flows sufficient to meet the Company's short and long term
liquidity needs. The Company is actively pursuing alternative financing and has
had discussions with various third parties, although no firm commitments have
been obtained. Management is also pursuing acquisitions of other businesses with
existing positive cash flows. In addition, management is working on increasing
sales, attaining reductions in the Company's operating costs and achieving
efficiencies in order to enhance the Company's overall profitability.
