COMPANY STATEMENT
Nature Treat, Inc., comes to you with a management and technical team with
over 100 years combined service in the oil and gas industry and the
environmental remediation field.
After being immersed in the oil and gas industry, via the environmental end,
throughout the United States over the past several years, Nature Treat has
come upon a natural non-chemical solution to assist in the fight against the
pollution of our soils, water, and our environment. Nature Treat offers an
opportunity to help clean the environmental problems left by hydrocarbon
products by using our all-natural line of products, these products include
MicroSolv, EnviroSolv-LE, Nitracal-SC, Nitracal 100, All-Sor 1, All-Sor 2,
Acid Sorb and our complete line of biodegradable pad and booms. A description
of each of these products, its uses,its MSDS sheets, and instructions for its
application are included with this company statement, in the product sheet
section.
All of our products are manufactured from natural substances and will not, in
and of themselves, create any pollution or hazard. Our remediation products
work with natural hydrocarbon-consuming microbes. This is Mother Nature's way
of cleaning herself. Nature Treat has developed various ways to assist her by
shortening time required to remediate and by improving and increasing
thoroughness.
Our products provide and enhance growth, reproduction, and vigor of the "bugs",
whose food source is some form of hydrocarbon. Our products absorb and
encapsulate the waste so there is no leaching. There are many more
applications and uses for our products that could be best applied to your
situation by speaking directly with one of our trained and experienced field
agents.
Nature Treat, Inc., is a manufacturing/wholesale company that has the ability
to supply its clients with the above-mentioned products and to supply total
technical support for the use and application of these products. We offer a
service record that has the highest regard for the client's customer and/or
project and we are able to manufacture and deliver a line of products that
will help eliminate virtually any hydrocarbon or hydrocarbon-based or salt
contamination institute. Our spill clean-up products are a leap into the
future, as they will absorb the spilled product's refuse to eliminate
leaching back into the environment and when given time, will remediate
themselves or dispose of the oil or spilled contaminate. Our field
representatives are trained to provide preliminary sight evaluations and, in
the case of more critical locations, will have the benefit of the base office
expertise to assess and determine the course and products that suit your
problem. Nature Treat, Inc., operates with a great measure of professionalism
and expertise which easily distinguishes itself as a company that addresses
the client's needs in every manner.
Nature Treat, Inc., teaches its dealers to convince their customers to take a
proactive approach to contamination around their businesses, which is very
practical with our "Do-it-yourself-product" line, therefore, avoiding those
huge bills from environmental cleanup crews and, of course, possible fines.
Nature Treat Inc., follows all local state, and federal regulations dealing
with contamination by hydrocarbons.
TECHNOLOGIES TODAY FOR A CLEANER TOMORROW
THAT WILL FORGE FORWARD INTO THE MILLENIUM
We do not contend to have the only answer for all of the industry's
environmental problems, but what we offer is an added choice of solutions to
help resolve certain aspects of the ongoing fight against the pollution of
hydrocarbons, including PCB's!

ALL-SORB 1 APPLICATION PROTOCOL
ALL-SORB 1 is a chemical modified cellulose fiber containing all the
necessary ingredients, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorous to enhance
indigenous bacteria for biodegradation of hydrocarbons. When activated by
the addition of moisture, these bacteria have an ideal condition within
which to reproduce and rapidly mutate to the available hydrocarbon food source.
The strong wicking action of ALL-SORB 1 acts as a physical emulsifier
by actually extracting hydrocarbons from less absorbent material. It
encapsulates the fine droplets until the available hydrocarbons are
consumed as food for the active bacteria.
Application of ALL-SORB 1 is so simple it is difficult to comprehend why
it works. ALL-SORB 1 is simply applied by blending the dry absorbent with
the contaminated soil as effectively and efficiently as possible. Once the
hydrocarbon contacts the ALL,SORB 1, it is completely encapsulated (up to the
saturation level) and cannot be extracted by natural concurring contact
with water. Even when wet ALL-SORB 1 will actually give up water to take on
hydrocarbons. This extraordinary characteristic separates ALL-SORB 1 from all
other absorbents and allows the exceptional bacteria remediation to occur.
When furnished a proper atmosphere for growth, bacteria when provided
nutrients and food sources will multiply rapidly. Therefore, small
quantities of bacteria will do the job over time if properly fed nutrients,
oxygen and moisture. The most difficult job is to properly disperse the
bacteria throughout the contaminated soil and to explain the elaborate
procedure of washing and milling with most bacterial applications. Even
after you go to the extreme of breaking down the hydrocarbon droplets, you
will still have the problem of containment to avoid the dreaded consequence
of leaching into nearby water sources. This problem is non-existent with
the application of ALL-SORB 1.
As no two remediation jobs are identical, it seems very difficult to
formulate recipe type instructions for all cases; however, a few standardized
steps should be taken that will assure better than average success. If
you follow this procedure, you should achieve a minimum 40% degradation every
30 days. Occasionally,where conditions were right, we have achieved as much
as 80% reduction in 30 days.
(1) Ph of soil or liquid to be remediated should be buffered to a ph level
of not less than 4.5 and no higher than 9.5, for optimum bacterial growth.
(2) Excessive levels of some heavy metals, PCB's, fungicides and pesticides
will slow bacterial growth.
(3) For liquid remediation, completely absorb in ALL-SORB 1 until dry to the
touch. Add water and completely saturate bed, even to the point of flooding.
Frequent wetting is desirable as the bed does not hold water for long periods.
Since liquids represent the highest level of hydrocarbons to be remediated,
it may be necessary to add additional nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorous)
if the rate of degradation levels out. Normally, it will be as simple as
adding additional ALL-SORB 1, tilling the soil thoroughly for oxygen
replenishment and continuing to keep damp with frequent watering.
(4) For low level soil contamination ( below 40,000 ppm ), we recommend
effective tilling with a minimum of one bag of ALL-SORB 1 per cubic yard of
soil. Of course, you could use lesser amounts for satisfactory results, but
homogeneous blending to assure maximum contact with available bacteria is
more easily achieved with adequate material. You may want to dampen the soil
during the tilling procedure to reduce dusting and promote migration of
hydrocarbon particles into the absorbent.
After tilling is completed, thoroughly wet the area down even to the point
of flooding; especially if left uncovered, which is preferred. Be more
careful about flooding if the area is to be kept covered.
Retain a moisture level no less than 30% No further aeration should be
necessary for at least 60 days and only if degradation stalls.
Temperatures above - 120 degrees F for extended periods will slow the
degradation process and temperatures below 40 degrees F will slow
bacterial growth. However, the absorbent will maintain its encapsulation
characteristic preventing hydrocarbon leaching until the bacteria are again
active. ALL-SORB 1 will not biodegrade itself before all absorbed
hydrocarbons have been degraded.
(5) For high levels of soil contamination (up to 450,000 ppm), we would
recommend an amount of ALL-SORB 1 absorbent equal to one-half the calculated
amount of hydrocarbons to be remediated.
For example, an extreme case of 450,000 ppm is approximately 45% hydrocarbon
or .45 x 2700 lbs. = 1215lbs. per cubic yard. Therefore, 600 pounds of
ALL-SORB 1 per cubic yard would provide the encapsulation necessary to
hold the contaminant without leaching while providing enough nutrients to
achieve maximum degradation with minimum aeration.
At 40,000 ppm, the hydrocarbon content would be approximately 108 pounds
per cubic yard and require approximately 50 pounds of absorbent for optimum
performance.
We have found it very difficult, in the field, to judge hydrocarbon content
without frequent testing and time-consuming procedures. With ALL-SORB 1,
this is not necessary as usual observation is adequate to assure proper
application. Simply add absorbent to heavily concentrated areas until the
soil is dry to touch or takes on the appearance of normal soil in the area.
If the soil still appears tacky after homogeneous blending, add more ALL-SORD
1.
After tilling is complete, wet down the area completely and maintain at least
a 30% moisture level throughout the remediation period. Frequent wetting
is desirable, as it helps migrate the hydrocarbons from the contaminated soil
into the ALL-SORB 1, where it is encapsulated and, consequently, digested.
If degradation levels off by TPH testing, simply till the soil thoroughly
with more ALL-SORB I and continue to keep damp with frequent watering.

MicroSolv
MicroSolv
In-Situ Bio-Enhancement
Technology
Technical Data
Product Description
MicroSolv is a concentrated synergistic blend of synthetic biodegradable,non-
toxic, non-flammable surfactants and selected nutrients. When diluted on-site
with freshwater, MicroSolv is capable of breaking down hydrocarbon masses
into microscopic spheres or droplets upon contact by spraying or mixing.These
droplets become tightly suspended in solution and remain stable in the rinse
and treated media. Noticeable evidence of this action is an immediate change
in color of oily soils or pit sludge, as well as the elimination of
hydrocarbon odors. MicroSolv functions in both fresh or salt water
environments.
The addition of fresh soils to treated media is recommended when treating pits
to provide stabilization and a fresh source of bacteria, creating a homogenous
mixture of hydrocarbon components throughout the media and increasing surface
area exposure to indigenous microbes. Because MicroSolv is readily
biodegradable and nutrient enriched, it further enhances the biodegradation
process by lending other nutrients to the mix. Case histories developed in
Ecuador's Amazon basin indicate that indigenous bacteria can rapidly exhaust
residual traces of asphaltic type crude after in-situ treatment with
MicroSolv, despite site flooding caused by daily rainfall.
The immediate evidence of mitigation is exhibited in sharp declines in TPH
(Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons per EPA Method 418.1) levels in the treated
media, regardless of hydrocarbon characteristics or base lien TPH levels.
Accordingly,one application of MicroSolv can achieve results in a fraction of
the time and expense normally required for soil excavation, relocation,
disposal, incineration, or traditional bioremediation methods. The long term
benefit from using MicroSolv is that it facilitates biodegradation by natural
means.
MicroSolv is also safe and effective for use in the removal of petroleum,
diesel or gasoline spills from concrete or asphalt highways, when used by
professionals and in accordance with all normal safety rules. When applied
as recommended, MicroSolv will encapsulate and tightly suspend microscopic
hydrocarbon droplets in the rinse, rendering most volatile materials non-
flammable almost instantly and without damage to concrete or asphalt
surfaces. While MicroSolv is considered environmentally friendly to the most
sensitive ecosystems (based on U.S. EPA LC-50 toxicity test on Mysidopsis
Bahia shrimp), management of effluent should always comply with federal, state
and local rules and regulations.

2. TEST SUMMARY
This test was designed to simulate the following remediation scenario:
1 gallon of MicroSolv MS-115 applied to 1 cubic yard of contaminated media.
These media types could consist of seawater, drill cuttings,drilling fluids,
or soils. Because of the required organism for this test (Mysidopsis bahia),
this test was performed on seawater. After determining that there are 202
gallons in a cubic yard, it was determined that this is equivalent to testing
MicroSolv MS-115 in a 1:202 solution.
Mysid shrimp (Mysidopsis bahia) were exposed to this 1:202 solution. This
solution was made by blending 1 ml of MicroSolv MS-115 with 201 ml of seawater.
After performing a 48 hour rangefinder using concentrations of 5%, 10%, 25%,
50% and 100%, the results showed an LC-50 of 227,806 ppm.
The 96 Hour LC-50 Test concentrations were set at 5%, 15%, 25%,30% and 35% of
the blended 1:202 solution.
At the end of the-96 hour test, and LC-50 value was calculated utilizing the
latest revised method furnished by the USEPA Environmental Monitoring and
Support Laboratory (EMSL).
The Calculated LC-50 for this test is 173,166 ppm.
The pH and Dissolved Oxygen (DO) were measured and adjusted as required. The
DO was above 4.9, so no additional aeration was required.
The 96 hour LC-50 test concentrations were set up at control(0 ppm), 5%, 15%,
25%, 30%, and 35% SPP.
4. EXPERIMENTAL CONDITIONS
The 96 hour LC-50 toxicity test was conducted at a salinity of 20 + 2 ppt and
a temperature of 20 + 2 degrees Celsius. Dissolved oxygen, temperature,
salinity and pH were measured at 0, 24, 48 and 96 hours. The test dishes were
aerated throughout the test period. The air flow was delivered via polyethylene
tubing to an air stone at the estimated rate of 50 - 140 cc/min. Illumination
was provided by an estimated 1200 micro watts/square centimeter of cool white
fluorescent bulbs in a cycle of 14 hours light and 10 hours dark. The
temperature in the test chamber was monitored and recorded.
5. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES
Five test concentrations and a control were prepared. Twenty mysids were
placed in each of three test containers per concentration. Mysids were
selected two at a time and placed in the containers in a random pattern until
each of the containers held 20 mysids. Containers were then covered and
aeration adjusted.

Acid Sorb
ACID SORB
SAFE HANDLING AND ABSORPTION
OF ACID SPILLS
TECHNICAL DATA
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Acid Sorb will absorb, encapsulate, suppress vapors and safely begin
neutralization of spilled acids in one step. Application of Acid Sorb begins
neutralization without spattering and allows the safe addition of a
neutralizing agent to reach desired pH. One pound of Acid Sorb effectively
absorbs up to three-quarters of a gallon of acid.
APPLICATIONS
Chemical Companies - Acid spills during manufacturing process.
High Tech. Industries - Acid spills during manufacturing process.
Battery Manufacturer - Acid spills during manufacturing process.
Fleet Maintenance Companies - Battery acid spills.
USE DIRECTIONS
Form a containment dike around the acid spill using Acid Sorb. Once the acid
has been contained, apply Acid Sorb directly onto the acid spill. Acid Sorb
will begin neutralizing the acid while suppressing vapors and the violent
reaction usually associated with using a neutralization agent alone. Once the
acid spill is safely contained under a blanket of Acid Sorb, a neutralized
acid /Acid Sorb mixture can be removed for disposal.As with any acid, caution
should be exercised by wearing protective gloves, and a respirator while
cleaning up acid spills.
Always dispose of contaminated Acid Sorb in accordance with local, state, and
federal guidelines.

Nitracal - 100
Nitracal-100
Liquid Calcium
Ion Exchange Compound
with Soil Conditoner
Technical Data
Product Description
Nitracal-100 is a highly water souble,liquid calcium and nitrogen concentrate
for on-site remediation of oil field related salt water contamination of
agricultural land, slat water contamination of agricultural land, salt water
disposal pit sludge, and salt contaminated drill cuttings and bio-cells. Due
to the physical density of Nitracal-100, it must be diluted with fresh water
and Nitracal-SC soil conditioners prior to site specific applications.
As soils are saturated with oil field produced salt water, sodium (Na+)readily
displaces cations and secondary nutrients naturally occurring in soils, like
calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+) and potassium (K+), by "mass ion effect. "The
exchange of these cations absorbed on the surface of clay mineral colloids
for copious amounts of sodium ions facilitates the leaching of beneficial
cations from the soil profile. The mobility of clay particles or the natural
spacing of clay particles to one another (pore space) is retarded, resulting
in soil compaction. Intense adhesive forces between capillary water in
discontinuous pore spaces to clay particles (hydrogen-bonding) not only traps
soil water but inhibits movement of excess water. The resulting chemical
imbalances or lack of CO2 and O2 in the soil wter is not conducive to plant
growth and natural biological activities.
Sodium in soils and pit sludge can readily be displaced by the concentrations
of calcium ions in Nitracal-100 when used with Nitracal-SC and fresh water
flushes. The slightly anionic nature of Nitracal-SC reverses the partially
covalent hydrogen-bonding effects of capillary water to clay particles and
allows clay particles to move closer together. The reduction of space between
particles in one micro-region results in increased distances between
particles of another micro-region of the soil mass, creating pore space and
soil drainage. Physical and nutrient fertility returns to the soil profile as
Nitracal-100, Nitracal-SC and excess water move through barrier layers.
Anions can also contribute to the toxicity of salt-water spills. Boron is a
micronutrient, essential for plant cell wall, seed, and pollen information, but
toxic to plants at 1 ppm. However, the calcium in Nitracal-100 will combine
with boron to form calcium borate, which is not readily taken in by plants.

Application
Sandy soils usually require less Nitracal-100 for the removal of sodium from
the top 18 to 24 inches of surface soil than heavy clay soils, but there are
always exceptions. The general guidelines or application rates listed below
for Nitracal-100, fresh water, and Nitracal-SC apply to sites having a clay
loam soil profile (zero slope) with permeability problems. In order to
expedite recovery, it is highly advised that addition fresh water flushes by
vacuum truck or irrigation be applied several times after initial treatment.
A trained professional should always be consulted for determining site
specific conditions with analytical data and site preparations (leveling,
tilling and composting). It is always recommended that the installation of a
tile drainage system be considered for safe containment of potential
environmental pollutants.

GREASE TRAP PROTOCOL
1. Average grease trap is 500 gallons
2. Pump trap clean. Clean the grease trap with 1-2 gallons of Trap Sorb
depending on trap size. (See table below) Cleaning is accomplished by
spraying the Trap Sorb on the sides and bottom, scrubbing and then
allowing the trap to fill with water.
3. Choose a location inside the establishment where Trap Sorb can be
injected into a drain system leading to the grease trap. Select a
location, as far away as possible, from the grease trap so Trap Sorb can
also clean the drain lines.
4. Install a parastolic pump, like the low speed Pro Drain Chief from Viking
Injector. This pump can be purchased by calling Viking Injectorin Lehighton,
PA, at 1 (717) 645 - 3633.
5. Mix 1 gallon of Trap Sorb with 4 gallon of water in a 5 gallon bucket Add
the microbes. Set the pump to dispense 5 ounces of the Trap Sorb mixture
into the trap every 6 hours. The 5 gallon mixture will last approximately
30 days.
6. Treat all traps of 500 gallons and under the same. If a trap is over 500
gallons, increase dosage proportionally.

TRAPSORB
FOR TREATMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF GREASE TRAPS
Microbes are nature's waste degraders. Naturally occurring microbes are
found in our rivers, streams, and soil. The slippery substance that is found
under rocks in riverbeds is microbe colonies called biofihn. The microbes
assist in cleaning water by consuming waste products found in the water.
Microbes, by the billions, are present in human and animal digestive and
elimination systems. People could not exist without microbes.
Many food processes employ the use of microbes. All fermentation utilizes
microbes. Such products as cheese, buttermilk, sour cream, soy sauce, dill
pickles and beer can not be made without microbes. In spite of all the good
that microbes do, microbes are often associated with "germs" which are harmful.
However, less than 1% of all microbes fit this category. Trap Sorb is free to
any "bad" microbes. The scientific nature of Trap Sorb and the special care
taken in the preparation and packaging ensures it is absolutely free of harmful
microbes. Trap Sorb is the highest quality microbial product of its kind on
the market. It is a scientific blend of multiple strains of naturally
occurring active microbes. They are capable of consuming all of the organic
contaminants that clog drain lines and fill up grease traps. The microbes in
Trap Sorb digest organic wastes such as fat, grease, oil, protein, starch,
cellulose, and detergent. The blend is synergistic, which means that all
strains of microbes are compatible with each other and complement each other's
activity. Trap Sorb has over 500 billion active microbes per gallon.
There are three (3) basic types of additives that are used to clean and
maintain drain lines and traps: chemicals, enzymes, and microbes.
1. Chemicals: Chemicals are either acids or alkalis. They function by
producing a chemical reaction that generates heat. This strong thermal effect
tends to melt solid fats and greases at the point of a clog. Frequently
the clog is cleared, but the fats and greases are redeposited in more distant
parts of the drain system where future problems may arise. Chemicals tend to
erode the pipes and fittings of the drain line. Chemical use is prohibited due
to strong pollutants entering the waste water system. Chemical use allows some
of the melted oil and grease to enter the public system. This practice is
prohibited in many areas and may result in fines.
2. Enzymes: Enzymes are organic catalysts that cause oils and grease to
dissolve. Used regularly in a drain system, the dissolved oils and greases
flow into the public drain lines and eventually into the waste water
treatment plants. The use of enzymes is prohibited in many areas due to the
continued presence of oils and greases in the waste water. Enzymes are
totally used up in a short time and must be added frequently to be
effective. 'Me possibility of oils and greases being deposited in harder to
reach areas of drain systems exists.
3. Microbes: Microbes are living organisms that consume oils, greases, and
other organic contaminants in a dram system and convert them into
non-polluting, harmless substances. Microbes do this by generating specific
enzymes in quantities that render a particular food source digestible. The
dissolved food source is then consumed by the microbes. Microbes do not grow

Case Histories
All of these case studies of Nature Treat, Inc., were done to test the
qualities of the products. The products were usually tested one at a time,
so that the remediation qualities of each product could be evaluated. In
some or most of these cases a combination of products would have greatly
benefited the treatment in the areas of speed and leaching.There now have been
several jobs done in which some of the products were combined in a single
treatment and the results were excellent. A few of these cases are included
in this booklet and there are several that will be added as soon as they are
edited.
CASE HISTORY: Oklahoma (South of Oklahoma City, OK) Treatment of
Diesel Spill on State Hwy
Effectiveness of Spill cleanup.
May 1-2 1998
Lone Star Safety & Supply of Oklahoma City, OK, received a phone call from a
Fireman of a local volunteer Fire department in a rural area, to deliver 30 to
40 (5 gal) palls of MicroSolv to an accident site for the cleanup of diesel
that had spilled on a state roadway. As the Lone Star representative prepared
to leave his facility at 10 p.m., He received a phone call and was told to
stand down due to the Fire chief onsite did not believe that the chemical
would work and would be using an alternative solution instead.
After working all night on the cleanup, using foam and some additive that
solidified the diesel, there remained a heavy hydrocarbon smell and residue.
The same fireman that made the original call, called again at 6 a.m.to request
that the Lone Star Rep. go ahead and bring out at least 20 pails of MicroSolv
to assist in the cleanup.Upon Lone Star's arrival,they found that there indeed
remained a heavy diesel odor and the roadway way deteriorating from the diesel.
The fireman had borrowed a water trailer equipped with a pressure washer and
along, with the Lone Star representative began washing the road surface and
shoulders. Immediately the road became extremely clean and no evidence of
diesel remained. The shoulders of the roadway along with the soil and grassy
areas were free of hydrocarbon contamination and was returned to its natural
features.
Results and Conclusions
Samples were taken to check the contamination level prior to the treatment and
then taken upon completion to compare the TPH levels (Total Petroleum
Hydrocarbons).
The amounts used for the cleanup were as follows: 6 pails (5gal) diluted 25 to
1 ratio.
Area cleaned: Approx. 1/4 mile of roadway and surrounding area.
Results: Immediate cleanup of hydrocarbon contamination, elimination of
potential combustion, no diesel odor and no residual negative effects.
CASE HISTORY: Ecuador's Amazon Basin
Abandoned Asphaltic Crude Pits
(Restoration to background TPH levels)
July 17, 1995;
Padre Environmental Resources, Inc. accepted the challenge to remediate
numerous oil field pit sites which had been dormant in Ecuador's Amazon basin
for over two decades.
A pit, containing a tremendous amount of fallen trees, vegetation and debris
mixed with a hardened asphaltic crude cap and rain water was selected. It also
contained 300 cubic meters of sludge which was highly contaminated with
degraded asphaltic crude, having the consistency of grease.
EnvironSolv-LE, an all-natural biodegradable solvent, was first sprayed over
the asphaltic crude cap and allowed to penetrate the crude over a 24 hour
period. Once the asphaltic crude was liquified, fallen trees and larger debris
were removed, reduced in size with chain saws, and stacked in a lined
containment area to avoid further contamination.
The crude was pumped to a skid tank for screening of smaller debris, where it
was stored until off-site transportation could be arranged.
After removing the asphaltic crude, debris, and rain water from the pit,
a track hoe was used to pull the crude contaminated berms into the pit. The
berm material was thoroughly mixed with the sludge, and the reduced debris was
placed back into the pit and mixed in with the contaminated material in
preparation for the MicroSolv treatment.
The hydrocarbon contaminated mixture was then grid sampled and tested for TPH
levels by lab personnel at Escuela Politecnica Nacional, using U. S.EPA Method
418.1. Results were in excess of 56,000 ppm.
MicroSolv, a synergistic blend of synthetic surfactants and nutrients, being
similar to those naturally found in soils, was sprayed over the hydrocarbon
contaminated mixture of sludge, berm material, and reduced debris at ambient
temperature of (92 degrees Fahrenheit). A ratio of 1.8 gallons of MicroSolv
per cubic meter of contaminated material was used.
A trackhoe was then used to thoroughly mix the MicroSolv solution into the
contaminated material, eventually creating a slurry in the pit. Samples were
collected and tested during the mixing process and at the end of 6 hours. TPH
results were reported as follows:
16,940 ppm in 30 minutes,
15,160 ppm in 1 hour,
9,256 ppm in 2 hours,
6,210 ppm in 4 hours, and
2,500 ppm in 6 hours.
Pit closure criteria called for reducing TPH levels to below 5,000 ppm.
Clean dirt from an adjacent area was used to help stabilize treated slurry
material, and the pit was left open to dry.
August 4, 1995:
Samples of the treated sludge from this pit were again collected and analyzed
by lab personnel from Escuela Politecnica Nacional in Quito, Ecuador. Test
results, using EPA Method 418.1, indicated that the TPH level had dropped to
1,516 ppm and without further agitation or treatment of the sludge. Background
TPH levels in an adjacent banana grove were reported to be in excess of 1,000
ppm.
November 3, 1995
A site visit revealed that an Ecuadorian farmer had claimed the restored pit
site and planted corn. The new corn stalks measured 12 to 14 inches in height
and appeared healthy. There were no visible signs of hydrocarbons on the site.
CASE HISTORY: San Patricio County (S. Texas)
Tidal Disposal Pit on Nueces Bay
In-Situ TREATMENT OF OIL CONTAMINATION
February 28, 1996:
Two tidal disposal pits which had been used to collect oil during discharge of
produced salt water to the Nueces Bay for over 25 years were abandoned in
compliance with state mandates. The oil producing company hired a local
contractor to close the pits in order to prevent possible hydrocarbon
contamination of the bay.
The contractor sampled the perimeter of the pits and reported the following
lab data: TPH levels ranging from 71,000 to 140,000 ppm.
Based on this data and a volume of contaminated pit sludge (reported to be
about 80 cubic yards), Padre Environmental recommended using 20 drums of
MicroSolv to lower TPH levels in accordance with Rail Road Commission
requirements (below 10,000 ppm). When asked, the contractor admitted that it
was impossible for them to sample the middle of the pit.
April 8, 1996:
The contractor applied the 20 drums of MicrSolv by spraying the contaminated
sludge while mixing with a back hoe. It was quickly discovered that the pits
actually contained heavy weathered crude (estimated at about 3-4 barrels per
pit) below a thin film of rain water. The chemical solution was applied until
exhausted. The contractor reported a significant reduction in hydrocarbon
odors and color change, but there was obviously more oil present than
originally anticipated. Ten additional drums of MicroSolv were dispatched to
the site, mix and applied to the contaminated sludge while being mixed with a
back hoe.
The contractor used the back hoe for sampling the treated sludge the following
work day. Lab test reported TPH level of 11,510 ppm (drop of approximately
91%). Fresh dirt near the site was used to fill the pits and provide
the necessary dilution to meet the target TPH level.
Conclusion:
The production company was not only pleased with the performance of MicroSolv
but enthusiastic about the final job cost compared to their estimated
excavation and disposal cost.
CASE HISTORY: Meinart Ranch (Texas)
Spill Response
(Hydrocarbon contamination)
The production site was contaminated with a fresh oil spill due to the failure
of a relief valve on the production separator. Centex Remediation Services and
Padre Environmental were contacted to respond to eliminate, if possible, the
hydrocarbon contamination, along with the removal of the oil stain.
Padre Environmental supplied its synergistic, concentrated, blended chemical,
MicroSolv for the remediation. Centex began the process of returning the
contaminated soil to an acceptable TPH level and coloration.
Centex began washing the oil stained area with a power washer and the MicroSolv.
The immediate results were substantial, the typical oil odor was eliminated
and the oil stained soil was cleaned almost immediately.
Before the remediation process began, a TPH analysis (Total Petroleum
Hydrocarbons per U.S. EPA Method 418.1) of the contaminated soil was performed.
The TPH level was 78,000 ppm. In less than seven hours of completion, a second
TPH analysis was performed. The ending result was 7350 ppm.
Six, fifty-five gallon drums of MicroSolv were used to achieve the immediate
results on 138 cubic yards of contamination. The initial application of
MicroSolv was able to be applied within 2 1/2 hours after the call to Centex
and Padre Environmental was received.
Conclusion:
With only one application of MicroSolv, the production company was not only
pleased with the performance of the chemical, but was excited about the final
analysis and the cost comparison to their traditional remediation methods.
CASE HISTORY: Kenedy Ranch - Texas
Closure of Production Reserve Pit
(Salt & Hydrocarbon contamination)
Site Information:
An oil field production reserve pit measuring 156 feet by 186 feet by 3 feet
deep (above) containing a mixture of indigenous soils, drilling mud, and
related production waste (approximately 358 cubic yards) was sampled for salt
(chloride) and hydrocarbon levels.Deposits of salt were visible on the surface
of the sludge.When the surface of the sludge was penetrated to collect samples,
it was noted that the sludge was black in color and had a foul hydrocarbon
odor.
Test Data:
Lab analyses of the pit sludge revealed the following. TPH (Total Petroleum
Hydrocarbons) level of 83,00 ppm at sample location #1 (nearest well head) and
67,000 ppm at the sample location #2 (back side of pit); and chloride levels
of 189,000 ppm (ECe of 395.3) at sample location #1 and 65,000 ppm (ECe of
101.6 at sample location #2.
Soil Treatment (May 7, 1996):
A D-6 dozer was first used to thoroughly mix the sludge and contamination
evenly over the pit floor. Sixteen drums of Nitracal-100 and three drums of
Nitracal-SC were mixed with 180 barrels of fresh water in an open-top skid
tank and pumped into the pit. The dozer was used to distribute and thoroughly
mix the chemical solution into the sludge. Two 130 barrel loads of fresh water
were brought in by vacuum truck and used to flood the surface of the pit, and
the pit was left undisturbed for the day.
Results:
Lab results on sludge samples taken on the following morning revealed the
chloride level had dropped to 18,000 ppm or an ECe of about 30.
Hydrocarbon Treated (May 8, 1996)
Fifty drums of Microsolv were pumped into the pit. The dozer was then used to
distribute and mix the chemical solution into the pit sludge.
Two 130 barrel loads of fresh water were brought in and sed to flood the pit,
creating a slurry during the mixing process. The dozer exited the pit after
mixing the treated sludge for about 4 hours.
Results:
Lab results on sludge sampled across the pit, immediately before the dozer
exited the pit, revealed the TPH level had effectively dropped to 5,114 ppm.
There were no visible signs of hydrocarbons in the sludge or excess fluid in
the pit and all hydrocarbon odors were eliminated.
Conclusion:
In in-situ treatment with Nitracal-100 and Nitracal-SC for salt contamination
an MicroSolv for immediate reduction of TPH levels resulted in achieving closure
in days, instead of 6-12 months. The total cost of this project (chemicals
and contracting cost) was reportedly 56% under budget completion.
CASE HISTORY: Bird Facility - King Ranch - Texas
Closure of Tidal Salt Water Disposal Pit
(Reduction of TPH levels in pit sludge)
October 1, 1996:
Fina Oil & Chemical excavated approximately 3,200 cubic yards of hydrocarbon
contaminated sludge from a tidal disposal pita at their Bird Island Facility,
Which is located about 40 yards from the Laguna Madre estuary. The
hydrocarbon contaminated material was spread to a depth of one foot over a two
acre area around the production facility. Chemtex Laboratories of Corpus
Christi, Texas was employed to grid sample the contaminated area and test for
TPH levels, using EPA Method 418.1. Results of their initial TPH findings on
Lab Report No. C6100122 ranged from 24,660 to 70,281 ppm.
Fina personnel attempted to reduce TPH levels by regularly fertilizing,
discing, And watering the contaminated area, but they were unable to achieve
even the slightest reduction in TPH levels. Concerned for rainy conditions
forecasted with seasonal cold fronts and the danger of hydrocarbons leaching
into the Laguna Madre, Fina decided to contact Trinity Environmental
Technologies.
After surveying the contaminated site, Trinity submitted the following
recommendations to Fina: apply 220 drums MicroSolv, to effectively achieve
closure requirements (TPH level at or below 10,000 ppm per Railroad Commission
within a 72 hour time frame.
Specifically, this recommendation called for a chemical usage rate of about 2.10
Gallons per cubic yard of contaminated material, having a TPH range of 24,660
to 70,281 ppm, resulting in a chemical cost of about $37.81 per cubic yard.
November 14, 1996:
Fina personnel decided to use Trinity's technology, but because a great deal
of their budget had been used for fertilizing, watering and discing, they
decided to purchase only 100 drums of MicroSolv for treatment of the 3,200
cubic yards of contaminated material. The MicroSolv was applied to the sludge
on site by spraying, until the 10 drums of chemical had been applied to the
entire site. The treated material was then immediately tilled with a tractor.
November 18, 1996:
Chemtex Laboratories sampled the site,using the 10 identified sample locations
and tested for THP levels. Results on Lab Report No. C6110029, indicated that
TPH levels immediately decreased 34% across the site after treatment with
MicroSolv. The percentage of decreased appeared to be directly related to the
actual volume of MicroSolv used versus recommended volumes and dilution rates.
November 20, 1997:
Trinity conducted the following in-house bench test in response to Fina's
request for proof concerning the biodegradability of MicroSolv.
Test Procedures:
(i) Equal amounts of untreated hydrocarbon contaminated sandy-sludge (100 ml.
each) were placed into 2 sterile bottles.
(ii) Within 72 hours, the presence of indigenous bacteria had completely
enveloped the upper portion of bottle "B".
(iii) Within 120 hours, (5 days) indigenous microbes had degraded and
transformed the thin layer of floating hydrocarbons into a biomass forth. A
thin layer of oil remained on top of the untreated sandy-sludge and water in
bottle "A".
Conclusion:
Even though Fina elected to apply less than 50% of the recommended volume of
MicroSolv there was a significant decrease in TPH levels within days after the
MicroSolv application (see Figure 1.). In fact, there was an average decrease
of 34% in TPH levels across the treated site.However,based on past experiences
with pit closures, the contamination should have been left in the pit for in-
situ treatment with MicroSole. This would have provided optimum usage for one
known TPH level, rather than trying to evenly apply the chemical solution
across a site with random TPH levels.
Rather than achieving the desired results or TPH closure levels within 72
hours as predicted with Trinity's recommended chemical volume, Fina managed to
decrease TPH levels to within closure limits (Lab Report No. C7030024) over a
greater period of time and with less than 50% of the recommended volume of
MicroSolv. It should also be noted, however, that Fina admittedly spent more
on the project than intended, and certainly more than was recommended for in-
situ treatment with Trinity's technology.

CASE HISTORY: Powell Landfill (Park County, Wyoming)
Treatment of Hydrocarbon Contaminated Soils.
(Preliminary reports of study)
August 28, 1997:
Park County officials at the Powell Landfill in Wyoming had taken in
hydrocarbon contaminated soils for remediation by natural bio-methods, i.e.,
regularly fertilize, water and aerate hydrocarbon contaminated soils. They
experience only a minor reduction of hydrocarbon levels in crude contaminated
soils over a period of several months and was far from meeting DEQ mandated
requirements. They had also been trying to remediate soils contaminated with
electrical transformer oils, or mineral oils with no success.
Officials at the Powell Landfill decided to test MicroSolv, a non-toxic, non-
hazardous and non-flammable chemical bio-enhancement technology, for the
remediation of both contaminants. Approximately 25-30 cubic yards of crude
contaminated soils, laden with large clumps of harden crude, and about 25-30
cubic yards of soil contaminated with transformer oil, or mineral oil from a
WAPA member, were placed in individual treatment cells to a depth of about
8-10 inches.
MicroSolv was applied to each test cell at a rate of 10 gallons per cubic yard
of contaminated soil. The front end loader pictured above was used to roll
and/or mix the contaminated soils during treatment to cause adequate chemical
to hydrocarbon contact. An additional 1,000 gallons fresh water was added to
each test cell, bringing the contaminated soils to saturation.
Results and Conclusions:
Samples were taken from both, the untreated soils, for a control, and the
treated cells, on Sept. 2, 1997 (5 days after treatment). Lab results for EPA
test methods 8015 (gas chromatograph) and 418.1 (Freon extractable-Total
Petroleum Hydrocarbons) were as follows:
Test Cell #1: Crude contamination
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C>
8015 Control 5,830 ppm
Treated 4,750 ppm
418.1 Control 8,040 ppm

</TABLE>
<TABLE>
Test Cell #2: WAPA Mineral Oils
<S> <C> <C>
8015 Control 1,460 ppm
Treated 954 ppm
418.1 Control 2,050 ppm
Treated 1,240 ppm
</TABLE>
While these lab tests indicate that a decrease in hydrocarbon levels did occur
in both test cells as the result of a one time MicroSolve application, e.g.,
16-10% and 35-40% respectively,the drop in hydrocarbon levels in Test Cell No.
1 (crude contamination) was noticeably less than in Test Cell No. 2 (WAPA
mineral oils). This is due to the fact that Test Cell No. 1 contained residual
hydrocarbon levels (listed above) and large degraded clumps of crude, which
were not sampled nor reflected in the control lab results.
The MicroSolv treatment process undoubtedly generated lab detectable
hydrocarbons by converting some of the large hardened clumps of crude found in
Test Cell No. 1 into liquefied hydrocarbons. Therefore, lab results on Test
Cell No. 1 do not accurately reflect the effectiveness of MicroSolv on crude
in this case.
November 13, 1998
To Whom It May Concern:
1. This letter is written in support of the product, MicroSolv, which we used
with great success last year in conjunction with a storage tank tear down,
project. The clean out and tear down of an old 80,000 bbl crude oil tank at
our terminal in Placedo, Texas, left us with about 900 bbls of heavy bottom
sludge which required treatment/disposal. Other sectors of the Coastal
Corporation had previously used micro-organisms to rapidly metabolize
hydrocarbon compounds so, in conjunction with the site soil remediation we
investigated the possibility of treating this sludge on-site,using Microsolve.
A pilot test was performed using approximately one (1) barrel of the bottom
sludge, tilled into the indigenous soil, and pressure sprayed with a 1: 15
solution of MicroSolve in water. A pre-test sample of the untreated existing
soil was analyzed and found to have a background TPH content of 3200 ppm.
Composite samples of the sludge/soil. Mixture were collected immediately after
treatment, and 72 hours, after treatment.lab analyses using 418. 1 methodology
on these samples indicated a TPH content of 76,000 ppm and 5,600 ppm
respectively. The 93% reduction in the TPH content of the treated soil was
further supported by: 1) lack of any noticeable odor and 2) a change in color
from black to light brown. (See lab analyses, attached).
We were pleased with these results and, after the tank teardown, completed the
site remediation. Should you have any questions or require additional
information, please contact me at (713) 877 -3147.

Attention: Tammi Maddox
Tammi
As you know, Statewide Environmental Services was awarded a contract to treat
nine hundred and twenty cubic yards of diesel contaminated soils at 1985
Roosevelt Blvd., Eugene, Oregon. I must admit, at first I was very reluctant
to bid on this project, knowing that a previous Environmental firm was unable
to treat the soils to Oregon Department of Environmental Quality standards in
the time frame my client expected, six to eight weeks.
On November 16, 1995,statewide Environmental Services purchased your product,
"All-Sorb", as part of the treatment process. I am pleased to report to you,
your product "All-Sorb", applied properly, was the key to obtaining D.E.Q.
cleanup standards in the time frame my client was looking for, within eight
weeks. Although this is the first time I have used this product,I am convinced
that "All-Sorb" is cost effective, easy to apply, and an instrumental tool for
Statewide Environmental Services to use in the future.
Tammi, I would also like to thank you for the technical support you provided
on this project.

Dear Bruce:
Enclosed please find the Soil Treatment Quarterly Report for the above
referenced project. An initial round of sampling was conducted on May 11, 1994
prior to the placement of the bioremediation product "All-Sorb". The
bioremediation product was tilled into the PCS on May 13, 1994. The average
depth of the PCS in the treatment area is approximately 18 '. The treatment
area is divided into eleven 100 cubic yard treatment cells. Two samples were
obtained from each cell. A second round of sampling was conducted on June 17,
1994, approximately one month after the initial placement and tilling of the
bioremediation product. A review of the analytical results indicates that
petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations have decreased significantly since the
application of the bioremediation product.
A third round of sampling, will be conducted in mid July, immediately after
another round of tilling has been completed. If you require any additional
information regarding this off-site treatment project, please contact me at
your convenience.

Dear Bruce:
Enclosed please find a Soil Treatment Quarterly Report for the above
referenced project. This report covers site activities occurring between July
2, 1994 and September 30, 1994. As previously noted, the treatment area was
divided into eleven 100 cubic yard treatment cells. An additional cell was
placed north of the main treatment area. The 70 cubic yards of soil placed in
this cell came from the fuel island area excavation at conducted at the former
Mobil station.
The first sampling round conducted during this quarter occurred on July 27,
1994. Two samples were collected from each of the eleven cells at previously
designated locations. Two samples out of the twenty-two collected, exhibited
either gasoline-type-or diesel-type total petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations
above the applicable Level 1 cleanup standard. These were sample numbers 5W
(TPH-D) 134.6 mg/kg) and 8E (TPH-G, 220 mg/kg and TPH-D, 778 mg/kg). Two
samples were collected from the 70 cubic yard cell. The analytical results
from these two samples indicated that petroleum hydrocarbons were not detected
at or above the applicable method detection limits.
The second round of sample collection conducted during this. quarter occurred
on September 8, 1994. One sample out of the 22 collected exhibited a
concentration above the applicable Level 1 clean up standard. This sample was
7E which had a TPH G concentration of 45 mg/kg. Four samples were collected
from the 70 cubic yard cell. No petroleum hydrocarbons above the applicable
method detection limits were detected in these samples.
An additional sample was collected from the East side_______on September 19,
1994. Analytical results indicated that no gasoline-type petroleum
hydrocarbons were detected at or above the applicable method detection limits,
while the TPH-D concentration of 74 mg/kg is below the applicable cleanup
standard of 100 mg/kg.
Based upon these analytical results, it appears that total petroleum
hydrocarbon concentrations in all of the treatment area cells have been
remediated to levels which are below the desired Level 1 cleanup standard for
the constituents of concern.
Based upon these results, the Oregon Department of Transportation, Region 2
Right-of-Way Section officially requests that the treated PCS at this location
be released for placement at the previously documented locations presented in
the Final Soil Disposition form dated March 30, 1994. If you require any
additional information regarding this off-site treatment project, please

RE: RESULTS OF USING ALL-SORB ON DIESEL-CONTAMINATED SOIL
Dear Tammi:
We wanted to write to express our satisfaction with "All-Sorb". This was the
first time we had used the "All-Sorb" product. Diesel contamination was
discovered during an underground, storage tank (UST) decommissioning and the
UST owner requested that the contaminated soil be remediated onsite. The
following should give you an idea how well your product performed.
On June 6, 1994, approximately 17 cubic yards of contaminated soil were
excavated from a UST pit and stockpiled onsite for remediation. The soil was
piled about 18" thick on visqueen sheets and left uncovered. A discrete grab
sample from the excavated soil analyzed for TPH-D contained 3050 ppm diesel-
range hydrocarbons.
Contaminated soil consisted of a clayey gravel containing approximately 30%
clay and 70% coarse gravel with gravel typically sub-round to well-round and
size range .5" to 3". Ten (10) bags of All-Sorb, were hand-turned into the
soil. The soil was watered and left uncovered. The client was responsible for
following the proposed remediation plan which included turning the soil once
every seven to ten days, and applying water when necessary to keep the soil
moist. The actual turning and watering may have deviated from the original
plan.
Approximately two and one-half months later, on August 23, two discrete soil
samples were collected from the soil pile and analyzed for TPH-D. The samples
contained 834 ppm and 707 ppm diesel-range hydrocarbons which exceeded the
target levels established by the DEQ. Consequently, remediation continued. On
October 27, 1994, two discrete soil samples were again collected from the soil
pile. The samples continued 336 ppm and 301 ppm diesel-range hydrocarbons
which satisfied the DEQ Matrix.
Cleanup of the contaminated soil to satisfactory levels took approximately
five months from early June until late in October. The contamination decreased
by almost 90% in that period of time. We feel that the length of time required
to reach the Matrix cleanup levels was greatly improved by using the All-Sorb
product.

The purpose of this report is to describe the procedures and results on the
remediation project at your facility in Tuscaloosa, AL. This project involved
approximately 1, 116 cu. yds. of soil contaminated with oil, grease and diesel
from wash rack sludge. The contamination level was between 1,840 ppm and 6,080
ppm.
Step I - Application
On 4/15/95 we applied All-Sorb (biological product) to the contaminated soil.
We also applied a mixture of surfactants and nutrients. After each application
we thoroughly tilled the soil.
Follow - Up
<TABLE>
Periodically during the next 6 months we applied nutrients (fertilizer) to the
soil and tilled the site thoroughly. We also periodically took soil samples to
monitor the hydrocarbon reduction. The results of the samples are as follows:

Subj: Results of Bioremediation Project - Spanish Fort, AL
The purpose of this report is to describe the procedures and results on the
remediation project at your facility in Spanish Fort, AL.This project involved
approximately 1200 cu. yds. of soil contaminated with oil and grease from wash
rack sludge. The contamination level was between 300 ppm and 4700 ppm.
Step I - Application
On 10/27/94 through 10/31/94 we applied 1200 bags of All-Sorb (biological
product) on to the contaminated soil and thoroughly tilled the product into
the soil to an approximate depth of 15 inches.
Follow-up
Periodically during the next,9 months we applied nutrients (fertilizer) to the
soil and filled the site thoroughly. We also periodically took soil samples to
monitor the hydrocarbon reduction. The results of the samples are as follows:

JANUARY, 1997
DATE ACTION
Jan. 30, 1997
-Precision Drilling Rig #49 located approximately 17 km north
of Jenner, blew uncontrolled for 15 hours releasing
approximately 1000 barrels of crude oil over approximately
30 acres to the east of the lease site.
- Vacuum trucks were utilized for areas of heavy concentrations
of pooled oil on the lease and immediate adjacent area to the
east.
- Because there was a concern that the crude oil would soak into
the top soil and possibly leach into the Red Deer River basin,
it was decided to use ALL-SORB to encapsulate and bioremediate
the oil before this could happen.
Feb. 1,2,19,20,21, 1997
-Over this five day period, 2928 bags of ALL-SORB product were
spread over the affected area. This was accomplished by using
bobcats and a customized manure spreader. At the customers
request, some areas where it was apparent that the spring
turnoff would pool, the water was not treated. Pictures
illustrate a marked contrast between these areas.
-Because of the size of the area involved, the only moisture
applied was the result of snow melting and rainfall.
Sept. 15, 1997
-Other than areas where ALL-SORB was not applied, the site has
completely returned to its natural native prairie state and is
undistinguishable from surrounding areas.

MicroSolv
This letter is in response to your phone calls (6/2-3/98) requesting EPA to
proceed with the process of determining the applicability of your product,
"Microsolv", to the NCP Subpart J Product Schedule (Schedule).
It is our understanding that Micosolv would be used as a soil remediation
product. (e.g.. in oil fields or at tank sites where leaks have contaminated
soil surrounding the tanks, etc.) and not for water shoreline cleanup during
an actual oil spill emergency.
Based on this information, we cite the following language from the NCP: "This
subpart (J) applies to the navigable waters of the United States and adjoining
shorelines..." 40 CFR 300.900(b).
If Microsolv were to be listed, EPA would classify it as a Surface Washing
Agent. Since the product does not have bacteria, nutrients, or enzymes it
cannot be placed on the list of bioremediation agents.
There are several products used only for soil cleanup in the U.S. that are not
listed on the Schedule. If your company's marketing efforts are directed
toward soil remediation, then the Schedule regulations do not apply to your
product.
The testing that would be required, should Microsolv need to be listed.
Usually cost several thousand dollars, both for the bio-effectiveness and
aquatic toxicity test ( toxicity test is required due to the presence of
surfactants in Microsolv ). We advise that you do not incur this expense since
testing/listing is not required for soil remadiation products.
EPA is aware that certain oil companies refuse to use your product due to the
fact that they, erroneously, believe only NCP listed products can be used on
their oil contaminated soils. EPA is aware of this problem and
misinterpretation of NCP rules and regulation regarding the use and or misuse
of the Product Schedule. We are actively correcting the situations as they are
brought to our attention and thank you for informing us of them.
Feel free to use refer to this letter to clarify this matter to potential
customers.
As discussed, we advise that you contact the Region 6 EPA offices in Dallas,
Texas to obtain further information regarding the use of your product for oil
contaminated soils.
If you have any further questions, call me at 703-603-9918

RISK FACTORS
The securities offered are highly speculative in nature and involve a high
degree of risk. Only persons who can afford to lose their entire investment
should purchase them. Therefore, each prospective investor should, prior to
purchase, consider very carefully the following risk factors among other
things, as well as all other information set forth in this prospectus.
This Prospectus contains "forward looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Act of 1934, as amended, and as contemplated under the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This includes statements regarding,
among other items, the Company's business strategies, continued growth in
the Company's markets, projections, and anticipated trends in the Company's
business and the industry in which it operates. The words "believe," "expect,"
"anticipate," "intends," "forecast," "project," and similar expressions
identify forward- looking statements. These forward-looking statements are
based largely on the Company's expectations and are subject to a number of
risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Company's control.
The Company cautions that these statements are further qualified by important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward looking statements, including those factors described under "Risk
Factors" and elsewhere herein In light of these risks and uncertainties,there
can be no assurance that the forward-looking information contained in this
Prospectus will in fact transpire or prove to be accurate. All subsequent
written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or
persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this
section.
There is uncertainty due to Year 2000 problem.
The Year 2000 issue arises because many computerized systems use two digits
rather than four to identify a year. Date sensitive systems may recognize the
year 2000 as 1900 or some other date, resulting in errors when information
using the year 2000 date is processed. In addition, similar problems may arise
in some systems which use certain dates in 1999 to represent something other
than a date.
The effects of the Year 2000 issue may be experienced before, on, or after
January 1, 2000, and if not addressed, the impact on operations and financial
reporting may range from minor errors to significant system failure which could
affect the Company's ability to conduct normal business operations.
This creates potential risk for all companies, even if their own computer
systems are Year 2000 compliant. It is not possible to be certain that all
aspects of the Year 2000 issue affecting the Company, including those related
to the efforts of customers, suppliers, or other third parties, will be
fully resolved.
The Company's Year 2000 plans are based on management's best estimates. Based
on currently available information, management does not believe that the Year
2000 issues will have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial
condition or results of operations; however, because of the uncertainties in
this area, no assurances can be given in this regard.
Nature Treat's operations are subject to a great many federal, state and local
requirements which regulate health, safety, environment, zoning and land-use.
Heavy regulation by the Environmental Protection Agency can have severe
consequences on the operations of Nature Treat. The various regulations that
Nature Treat is and can be subject to have the potential to greatly affect
processes of operation and various costs of operations. Regulations also
subject Nature Treat to potentially substantial fines and possible criminal
sanctions.
Furthermore, future changes in regulations could have drastic effects on the
methods of handling and disposal of pollutants that are an intrical part
of Nature Treat's business.
Because of the inherently dangerous materials that Nature Treat is involved
with, Nature Treat subjects itself to the potential of substantial liabilities.
There is no assurance that material liabilities and other costs will not be
incurred. Because of increasingly strict governmental regulations in areas
concerning Nature Treat, there is even greater chance of incurring liabilities
and other costs. This can add substantial costs to the continued operations of
Nature Treat on environmental projects.
More specifically, Nature Treat subjects itself to possible liability for
failure of its products to perform. No two clean up projects are similar and
it would stand to reason that each operation brings its own challenges.
Due to the nature of Nature Treat's business, the Company subjects itself to
liabilities involved where Nature Treat actually makes a clean up project
worse than before the actions of Nature Treat, Inc..
Additionally, Nature Treat runs the risk of creating its own environmentally
unsafe conditions with the materials and processes used in creating Nature
Treat, Inc..
Once Nature Treat, Inc. are created, Nature Treat has little, if any, control
of how its products are applied. Both properly and improperly applied products
could result in potential liability to Nature Treat. Equally unforeseeable,
are the long-term consequences of the uses of Nature Treat on environmental
projects and the possible liabilities incurred.
Natures Treat faces substantial competition in the marketing and sale of its
products. Nature Treat shall compete with numerous other companies, many of
which have established reputations, and some which are better financed than
Nature Treat.
Nature Treat was incorporated in Mid-1999 and has no significant operating
history upon which to a judgment of Nature Treat's performance. There can be
no assurance that Nature Treat's business or services will be successful or
that Nature Treat will be able to achieve or maintain profitable operations.
