DIATECT INTERNATIONAL CORP.
(formerly Applied Earth Technologies, Inc.)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Diatect International Corp. (formerly Applied Earth Technologies, Inc.)
(formerly San Diego Bancorp) (SDBC) was incorporated in California in 1979, as
a bank holding corporation. During 1986, the Company liquidated its
subsidiaries and became a dormant shell corporation.
On August 22, 1996, the Company changed its name from San Diego Bancorp to
Applied Earth Technologies, Inc. to better reflect the business activities of
the Company, which primarily consist of developing and marketing pesticide
products. The Company later became informed that another corporation already
had the name Applied Earth Technologies, Inc. and approval of this name had
been granted in error. In response to this information, the Company changed
its name to Diatect International Corp. on June 5, 1998.
Enviro-Guard Corporation
------------------------
On September 21, 1993, SDBC acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock
(4,438,400 shares) of Enviro-Guard Corporation (a Utah corporation) in
exchange for 3,594,953 shares of SDBC common stock valued at $1.75 per share.
This transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby Enviro-
Guard Holding Corporation, (Holding) as the former parent of the acquired
corporation (Enviro-Guard) gained a controlling stockholder interest in the
acquiring corporation (SDBC). Immediately prior to the reverse acquisition,
Holding transferred all of its assets to Enviro-Guard including White Mountain
stock owned by Holding.
In August 1992, Enviro-Guard acquired Diatect International, Inc. (Diatect)
(incorporated in Kansas) for 120,000 shares of common stock of Enviro-Guard
valued at $5 per share and $100,000 in notes payable. The transaction was
valued at $700,000 and accounted for as a purchase. Diatect has developed and
owns the rights to three EPA registered insecticides. Also in August 1992,
Enviro-Guard acquired D.S.D., Inc. ("DSD") (incorporated in Kansas) in
exchange for 520,000 shares of the common stock of Enviro-Guard valued at $5
per share and the assumption by Enviro-Guard of a $448,360 note payable due to
DSD from a shareholder of DSD. This transaction was valued at $3,048,360 and
accounted for as a purchase.
On May 2, 1998, the Company's board of directors abandoned Enviro-Guard and
its wholly owned subsidiary, D.S.D., Inc., following the transfer of all
Enviro-Guard assets to the Company. In consideration for payment of the
transferred assets, the Company assumed all indebtedness of the subsidiary
corporations and any indemnification against the liabilities of the
subsidiaries. Transfer of D.S.D.'s assets included the transfer of all stock
of D.S.D.'s wholly owned subsidiary, Doctor Scratch, Inc., a Kansas
corporation. As the sole shareholder of Doctor Scratch, the Company sold all
the assets of Doctor Scratch and allowed it to become dormant.
White Mountain Mining & Manufacturing, Inc.
-------------------------------------------
On December 18, 1992, Holding entered into a contract to acquire 89.125% of
the outstanding common stock (891,250 shares) of White Mountain Mining in
exchange for 260,375 shares of common stock (at a value of $6 per share) of
Holding, at that time the parent company of Enviro-Guard, plus $25,000 in cash

and $346,616 in notes payable. As a result of the transaction, a total of
705,873 shares of White Mountain common stock was transferred to Holding with
the remaining 185,377 shares remaining in escrow against payment of the
promissory notes. In August 1993, all of Holding's stock in White Mountain
was transferred along with other assets to Enviro-Guard preparatory to the
reverse acquisition by SDBC on September 21, 1993.
This acquisition, accounted for as a purchase and valued at $3,458,400, was
intended to provide the Company with a source of diatomaceous earth, an
important organic ingredient for its pesticide products sold by its
subsidiaries.
Pursuant to a promissory note dated March 12, 1995, Enviro-Guard pledged its
shares of White Mountain Stock. On June 1, 1998, the holder of the promissory
note foreclosed on the stock for failure to pay the indebtedness (Note 8).
This transaction resulted in a gain of $215,692.
Magic International, Inc.
-------------------------
On May 24, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase Magic
International, Inc. in exchange for $3,000 cash and 200,000 shares of Diatect
International Corporation's common stock. At the time of the transaction, the
authorized level of the Company's capitalization did not permit an issuance of
200,000 shares of stock. The Company increased its authorized capital, issued
the aforementioned stock and finalized the acquisition in March 2000.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of Diatect International Corp.
is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements.
The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's
management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These
accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and
have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Accounting Method
-----------------
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of
accounting.
Year End
--------
The Company has elected a December year end.
Principles of Consolidation
---------------------------
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and all of its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries.
Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-
term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.
Provision for Doubtful Accounts
-------------------------------
Provision for losses on trade accounts receivable is made in amounts required
to maintain an adequate allowance to cover anticipated bad debts. Accounts

receivable are charged against the allowance when it is determined by the
Company that payment will not be received.
Inventories
-----------
Inventories consist primarily of raw materials and finished product and are
valued at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or market.
Property and Equipment
----------------------
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost including the allocable
purchase price applicable to the respective assets of purchased subsidiaries.
All expenditures for improvements, replacements and additions are added to the
asset accounts at cost.
Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged against earnings
as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated
from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in the
statements of operations when depreciable assets are retired or otherwise
disposed. Depreciation is provided for by the use of straight-line and
accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depletion
is computed using the unit-of-production method, for any mining property
placed in production. Depreciation expense for the period ended
March 31, 2000 and the year ended December 31, 1999 was $2,514 and $9,433,
respectively.
Intangible Assets
-----------------
Intangible assets are amortized over the remaining useful life on a straight-
line basis which ranges from 15 to 17 years. EPA labels are amortized on a
straight-line basis over a 15-year life, commencing with the beginning of
product sales. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over a fifteen-
year life. Amortization expense for the periods ending March 31, 2000 and
December 31, 1999 were $76,130 and $305,410, respectively.
Deferred Tax Liability
----------------------
At March 31, 2000, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $11,417,000 that may be offset against future taxable income
through 2012. The Company believes there is a chance that all or part of the
net operating loss carryforwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the tax
benefit has been fully offset by an allowance of equal amount.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
--------------------------------
Loss per share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of
shares was calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighting
them by the amount of time they were outstanding. Outstanding options were
not included in the computation of loss per share because the exercise price
of the outstanding options is higher than the market price of the stock,
thereby causing the options to be antidilutive.

(formerly Applied Earth Technologies, Inc.)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Revenue Recognition Policy
--------------------------
Revenues from sales of product are recognized when the product is shipped.
Compensated Absences
--------------------
Employees of the Company are entitled to paid vacation, paid sick days and
personal days off, depending on job classification, length of service, and
other factors. Due to the existence of a relatively high employee turnover
rate, it is impractical to estimate the amount of compensation for future
absences. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying
financial statements. The Company's policy is to recognize the costs of
compensated absences when actually paid to employees.
Estimates
---------
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Impaired Asset Policy
---------------------
The Company reviews its long-lived assets quarterly to determine if any events
or changes in circumstances have transpired which indicate that the carrying
value of its assets may not be recoverable. The Company does not believe any
adjustments are needed to the carrying value of its assets at March 31, 2000,
and December 31, 1999.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
-----------------------------------
The Company has adopted the fair value accounting rules to record all
transactions in equity instruments for goods or services.
Interim Financial Statements
----------------------------
The interim financial statements as of and for the three months included
herein have been prepared for the Company, without audit. They reflect all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present
fairly the results of operations for these periods. All such adjustments are
normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations for the periods
presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full fiscal year.
Derivative Instruments
----------------------
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This standard establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.
At March 31, 2000, the Company has not engaged in any transactions that would
be considered derivative instruments or hedging activities.

NOTE 6 - LINE OF CREDIT
At March 31, 2000, the Company had $80,000 outstanding (on a line of credit)
utilizing a director's personal line of credit. This credit facility is
unsecured, has no stated maturity, and bears interest at 12%.
NOTE 7 INCOME TAXES
At March 31, 2000, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $11,417,000 that may be offset against future taxable income
through 2013. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements as
the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the net operating loss
carryforwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of
the net operating loss carryforwards are offset by a valuation allowance of
the same amount.
NOTE 8 LITIGATION
John Wilding Lawsuit
--------------------
On July 19, 1996, John Wilding sued the Company for collection on a delinquent
promissory note, which was secured by stock of White Mountain Mining and
Manufacturing, Inc. As of December 31, 1997, the balance owed was $142,323
plus accrued interest in the amount of $63,885. Subsequent negotiations
resulted in foreclosure on June 1, 1998 on the white Mountain collateral in
full payment of the note to Mr. Wilding. The foreclosed stock represents a
majority of the total outstanding shares of White Mountain.
Wilding subsequently sold all shares of the White Mountain stock to an
affiliate of Environmental Products & Technology, Inc. (EP&T), a Utah
corporation which signed an agreement calling for EP&T to enter into a joint
venture with Diatect for purposes of mining the White Mountain mineral claims
of diatomaceous earth.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 8 LITIGATION (Continued)
EP&T was contractually obligated to convey the White Mountain stock back to
Diatect subject to a security interest for the purchase price of said stock
paid by EP&T (or its affiliates) to Wilding. In 1998, it became apparent that
EP&T would not honor its agreement with Diatect. The possibility exists that
Diatect will bring a breach of contract action against Environmental Products
and Technology, Inc. and its affiliates for its failure to transfer the shares
of White Mountain stock to Diatect pursuant to agreement.
Sloan, Listrom, Eisenbarth, Sloan & Glassman,LLC
------------------------------------------------
An action, commenced on November 17, 1998 by the Company's former legal

attorney's fees and interest thereon is approximately $36,000 and has been
included in commitments and contingencies at March 31, 2000 and December 31,
1999. Since mid-1996, there has been no communication with the plaintiff or
its attorneys, nor has the plaintiff made any attempt to satisfy or settle
this case. Since the judgment must be renewed within the next twelve months,
the Company anticipates some activity in this matter in the near future.
L. Craig Hunt
-------------
L. Craig Hunt brought action on January 14, 1998 against Diatect for damages
and breach of contract on a promissory note for the sum of $42,750 plus
interest, penalties and attorney's fees. Judgment against Diatect

This judgment is presently outstanding and unpaid. At March 31, 2000 and
December 31, 1999, $61,543 is included in commitments and contingencies in
these financial statements. To date, plaintiffs have made no attempt to
collect on this judgment.

undertaken after entry of judgment and demonstration that the assets of the
subsidiary, Diatect International, Inc. are fully encumbered. The amount of
$17,230 is included in commitments and contingencies in these financial
statements.
Danny Wirken
------------
The Company is considering litigation against Danny Wirkin, (one of the
brokers involved in the selling of Diatect stock, which gave rise to the
above-reported litigation with Gruntal & Co.) with the objective of obtaining
a judgment for damages and foreclosing on the Company's obligation under its
note to Mr. Wirkin. This note is reflected at March 31, 2000 and December 31,
1999 in the principal amount of $386,581 with accrued interest included in
interest payable for the amounts of $195,282 and $185,644, respectively. (See
Note 5).
International School of Kenya
-----------------------------
The International School of Kenya was awarded a judgment against the Company
in the amount of $20,143 on October 13, 1995. During 1997, this was paid down

NOTE 8 LITIGATION (Continued)
Creditors' Judgments
--------------------
During 1994 and 1995, the Company was sued by a number of creditors, which
actions the Company allowed to go to judgment. These judgments arose as a
direct result of the inability of the Company to fund the operations and
payments to all the Company's creditors. The collection judgments, which are
substantially unpaid at March 31, 2000, total approximately $52,000, and are
included in the Company's accounts payable.
The Company is not aware of any other threatened litigation against it or its
subsidiaries. However, there remains a possibility of litigation against
Diatect and/or its subsidiaries being brought by creditors holding delinquent
accounts. Diatect is working with these creditors and, at this time, all
creditors, who have not filed litigation appear to accept the measures taken
by the Company in addressing the indebtedness.
NOTE 9 - COMMON STOCK
In February 2000, the Company increased its authorized capital to 50,000,000
shares. During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Company issued 500,000

NOTE 12 CONCENTRATION OF RISK
Credit
------
The Company is a wholesale supplier of products and grants credit to its
customers, a substantial portion of which are retailers of agricultural
products throughout the country.
Raw Materials
-------------
The Company uses pyrethrum as a main ingredient in its production process.
Pyrethrum is a plant by-product primarily imported from Africa. Africa has
experienced a severe drought with no relief in sight thus causing the
pyrethrum supply to greatly diminish. Due to these circumstances, the Company
now has one supplier whose pyrethrum is substantially non-African.

Office Facilities
-----------------
In April 2000, the Company entered into a lease agreement for new office
facilities in Boise, Idaho. The agreement is a three-year lease and calls for
monthly payments of $720 during the first year, $738 during the second year
and $757 during the third year. The Company occupied these facilities on May
1, 2000.
Acquisition of National Diatect
-------------------------------
Subsequent to the date of these financial statements and prior to their
issuance, in July 2000, the Company signed a letter of intent and memorandum
of understanding to acquire National Diatect, Inc.(National) in exchange for
400,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $120,000 in future royalties
(based on $0.10 per pound of products produced) and a promissory note in the
amount of $110,000 (based on the stated value of National's inventory and
equipment). The agreement is subject to final ratification by the Company's
board of directors.
Litigation
----------
In September 2000, subsequent to the date of these financial statements, but
prior to their issuance, the Company received notice from three former
officers that they intend to bring action for nonpayment of back wages. The
amount in dispute totals $111,095 and the Company plans to contest the claims.
These amounts are not recorded in the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 16 GOING CONCERN
As shown in the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of
$283,100 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 and has an accumulated deficit
of $11,417,689 at March 31, 2000. The Company has negative working capital,
unsatisfied collection judgments, and is delinquent in repaying its debt
obligations.
These factors indicate that the Company may be unable to continue in
existence. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to
the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company
cannot continue existence. Management's plans for ensuring the Company's
continued viability are as follows:
Upon the Company's ability to reestablish compliance with S.E.C. regulations,
significant and imminent placement of new stock issuance are expected to raise
the capital needed to satisfy collection judgments and repay debt obligations.
Through the acquisition of Magic International, Inc., management has taken
measures to increase product markets.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-looking Statements
---------------------------------------------------------
This report may contain "forward-looking" statements. The Company is
including this cautionary statement for the express purpose of availing itself
of the protections of the safe harbor provided by the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to all such forward-looking
statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to: (a) projections of revenues, capital expenditures, growth,
prospects, dividends, capital structure and other financial matters; (b)
statements of plans and objectives of the Company or its management or Board
of Directors; (c) statements of future economic performance; (d) statements of
assumptions underlying other statements and statements about the Company and
its business relating to the future; and (e) any statements using the words
"anticipate," "expect," "may," "project," "intend" or similar expressions.
Year 2000 Disclosure
--------------------
This report is being filed on or about November 6, 2000. To date, the Company
has not experienced any year 2000 problems.
Quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to March 31, 1999
-------------------------------------------------------
During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, revenues were $41,745 and direct
sales costs were $19,783 or approximately 47.4% of revenues. During the
quarter ended March 31, 1999, revenues were $93,437 and direct sales costs
were $38,917 or approximately 41.6% of revenues. The substantial decrease in
revenues for the period ended March 31, 2000 compared to same period in the
preceding year is due to the fact that one of the Company's principal
distributors ceased operations during the first quarter of 2000. The Company
believes this decrease in revenues is not indicative of results to be expected
during the next twelve months because management expects to be able to find
other distributors to handle the territory previously covered by the defunct
distributor. Subsequent to the date of the periods reported herein but prior
to the filing of this report, in July 2000, the Company found alternative
distribution channels to replace the lost distributor.
Corporate Expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2000 total operating
expenses were $221,814, consisting of salaries, wages and benefits of $11,195,
depreciation and amortization expenses of $78,644, legal and professional fees
of $113,784, and other expenses of $18,191, resulting in a loss from
operations of $199,852. For the three months ended March 31, 1999 total
operating expenses were $198,297, consisting of salaries, wages and benefits
of $11,396, depreciation and amortization expenses of $78,512, legal and
professional fees of $73,309, and other expenses of $35,080, resulting in a
loss from operations of $143,777. The operating expenses for the period ended
March 31, 2000 were higher than the prior year period primarily due to
increases in legal and professional fees associated with the preparation of
past due financial reports and filings for the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Other Income and Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended March
31, 2000 was $46,454, offset by miscellaneous income of $427, compared to
$51,548, offset by miscellaneous income of $62 for the same period in the
preceding year.
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company has a net loss of
$245,879, and loss per share was $0.01. For the three months ended March 31,
1999, the Company had a net loss of $195,263, and loss per share was $0.01.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
At March 31, 2000, the Company had current assets of $277,293, consisting of
cash of $22,250, accounts receivable of $18,475, inventory of $187,097, and
prepaid finance charges of $49,471, and current liabilities of $3,108,509 for
a working capital deficit of $2,831,216. At March 31, 2000, the Company had
property, plant and equipment assets totaling $54,428, net of depreciation,
and other assets of $2,272,191, consisting of the Company's investment in EPA
labels, net of amortization, and goodwill associated therewith.
Cash used in operations for the period ended March 31, 2000 was $98,490
compared with $38,737 for the same period ended March 31, 1999. In 2000 and
1999, the Company's operations have been funded primarily by accounts
receivable and loans. Cash used in operations for the period ended March 31,
2000 included the issuance of common stock for services in the amount of
$50,750, and the issuance of common stock for prepaid finance charges in the
amount of $50,000 in order to obtain a line of credit.
Cash flows used by investing activities by the Company during the period ended
March 31, 2000, was $5,160. Cash flows from financing activities during the
period ended March 31, 2000 was $123,740, which includes $43,740 in notes
payable and $80,000 obtained through the line of credit above-referenced.
At March 31, 2000, the Company may seek working capital from several sources,
including the equity markets and private investors. There is no assurance,
however, that any fund raising efforts will be successful. The Company
believes that it will increase revenues from operations as it continues to
move from the development stage of its products to a full marketing and sales
program. With the Company's products in the marketplace, the Company
anticipates revenues to offset ongoing expenses. The Company is uncertain,
however, as to whether there will be sufficient revenue to cover past
obligations.
The Company's lack of cash will also affect the ability to effectively market
its products. The Company believes two of the largest and most important
markets for its products are the agricultural and home and garden markets.
The Company plans to conduct affordable advertising and maintain a sales force
that can effectively reach these markets. This marketing strategy will
require funds to be fully effective. Accordingly, although the Company
anticipates more revenue from its products than it has received in the past,
it will not be as profitable as it could be without additional cash to fund
the advertising and marketing.
Impact of Inflation
-------------------
The Company does not anticipate that inflation will have a material impact on
its current or proposed operations.
Seasonality
-----------
The Company has not experienced significant variations in sales of products
attributable to seasonal factors.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
ITEM 2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
John Wilding Lawsuit
On July 19, 1996, John Wilding sued the Company for collection on a delinquent
promissory note, which was secured by stock of White Mountain Mining and
Manufacturing, Inc. As of December 31, 1997, the balance owed was $142,323
plus accrued interest in the amount of $63,885. Subsequent negotiations
resulted in foreclosure on the White Mountain collateral on June 1, 1998 in
full payment of the note to Mr. Wilding. The foreclosed stock represents a
majority of the total outstanding shares of White Mountain.
Wilding subsequently sold all shares of the White Mountain stock to an
affiliate of Environmental Products & Technology, Inc. (EP&T), a Utah
corporation which signed an agreement calling for EP&T to enter into a joint
venture with Diatect for purposes of mining the White Mountain mineral claims
of diatomaceous earth.
EP&T was contractually obligated to convey the White Mountain stock back to
Diatect subject to a security interest for the purchase price of said stock
paid by EP&T (or its affiliates) to Wilding. In 1998, it became apparent that
EP&T would not honor its agreement with Diatect. The possibility exists that
Diatect will bring a breach of contract action against Environmental Products
and Technology, Inc. and its affiliates for its failure to transfer the shares
of White Mountain stock to Diatect pursuant to agreement.
Sloan, Listrom, Eisenbarth, Sloan & Glassman, LLC
An action commenced on November 17, 1998 by the Company's former legal counsel
to collect legal fees and costs. The action was not contested and in November
1999, the plaintiff was awarded a default judgment against the Company in the
amount of $42,166 plus post-judgment interest. This judgment remains
outstanding and unpaid and is included as a liability in commitments and
contingencies at December 31, 1999 and March 31, 2000.
Ogilvy, Adams & Rinehart
Ogilvy, Adams & Rinehart (Ogilvy) obtained a judgment against Diatect on
November 1, 1995 in the sum of $24,346. The entire judgment amount plus
attorney's fees and interest thereon is approximately $36,000 and has been
included in commitments and contingencies at December 31, 1999 and March 31,
2000. Since mid-1996, there has been no communication with the plaintiff or
its attorneys, nor has the plaintiff made any attempt to satisfy or settle
this case. Since the judgment must be renewed within the next twelve months,
the Company anticipates some activity in this matter in the near future.
L. Craig Hunt
L. Craig Hunt brought action on January 14, 1998 against Diatect for damages
and breach of contract on a promissory note for the sum of $42,750 plus
interest, penalties and attorney's fees. Judgment against Diatect
International Corp. was rendered on February 1, 1999 in the sum of $61,543.
This judgment is presently outstanding and unpaid and is included in
commitments and contingencies in these financial statements. To date,
plaintiffs have made no attempt to collect on this judgment.

Mid-America Venture Capital Fund, Inc.
Mid-America Venture Capital Funds, Inc. brought action on July 23, 1997
against the Company for failure to pay loans on two promissory notes totaling
$35,000. Judgment was awarded on August 4, 1997 for a total of $39,336
including principal, interest, and attorney's fees and costs. Since that
time, Diatect has paid a total of $4,000 and is currently in arrears on the
payment schedule. The balance owing is included in commitments and
contingencies in the financial statements.
Mike Glazer
A consultant allegedly rendered services to a Company subsidiary during 1996
in the amount of $17,230 and has brought action for this amount. The Company
has chosen not to contest this case. Settlement efforts are expected to be
undertaken after entry of judgment and demonstration that the assets of the
subsidiary, Diatect International, Inc. are fully encumbered. The amount of
$17,230 is included in commitments and contingencies in the financial
statements.
Danny Wirken
The Company is considering litigation against Danny Wirkin, (one of the
brokers involved in the selling of Diatect stock, which gave rise to the
above-reported litigation with Gruntal & Co.) with the objective of obtaining
a judgment for damages and foreclosing on the Company's obligation under its
note to Mr. Wirkin. This note is reflected at March 31, 2000 and December 31,
1999 in the principal amount of $386,581 with accrued interest included in
interest payable for the amounts of $195,282 and $185,644, respectively. See
Note 5 to the financial statements.
International School of Kenya
The International School of Kenya was awarded a judgment in the amount of
$20,143 on October 13, 1995. During 1997, this was paid down to $19,200. The
balance was fully paid by director Jay Downs on July 18, 1997. In order to
reimburse Mr. Downs, the Company executed an uncollateralized promissory note
in 1997 for $19,200. The note bears interest at 12% . See Note 5 to the
financial statements.
Toxikon, Inc.
Toxikon, Inc. filed suit in 1999 to collect on an unpaid trade account. In
March 2000, the debt was paid in full and the case was dismissed.
Subsequent Event
----------------
In September 2000, subsequent to the date of these financial statements, but
prior to their issuance, the Company received notice from three former
officers that they intend to bring action for nonpayment of back wages. The
amount in dispute totals $111,095 and the Company plans to contest the claims.
These amounts are not recorded in the accompanying financial statements.
Creditors' Judgments
During 1994 and 1995, the Company was sued by a number of creditors, which
actions the Company allowed to go to judgment. These judgments arose as a
direct result of the inability of the Company to fund the operations and
payments to all the Company's creditors. The collection judgments, which are
substantially unpaid at March 31, 2000, total approximately $52,000, and are
included in the Company's accounts payable.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 28
The Company is not aware of any other threatened litigation against it or its
subsidiaries. However, there remains a possibility of litigation against
Diatect and/or its subsidiaries being brought by creditors holding delinquent
accounts. Diatect is working with these creditors and, at this time, all
creditors, who have not filed litigation appear to accept the measures taken
by the Company in addressing the indebtedness.

credit; 200,000 shares of its common stock valued at $20,000 for purchase of
