                 WATER-JEL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)
                                  May 31,1997

1.       BASIS OF QUARTERLY PRESENTATION:

         The accompanying quarterly financial statements have been prepared in
         conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

         The financial statements of the Registrant included herein have been
         prepared by the Registrant pursuant to the rules and regulations of
         the Securities and Exchange Commission and, in the opinion of
         management, reflect all adjustments which are necessary to present
         fairly the results for the period ended May 31, 1997.

         Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
         financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
         rules and regulations; however, management believes that the
         disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
         misleading. This report should be read in conjunction with the
         financial statements and footnotes therein included in the audited
         annual report on Form 10-KSB as of August 31, 1996.

2.       PRINCIPLE OF CONSOLIDATATION:

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
         accounts of Water-Jel Technologies, Inc. and all its wholly-owned and
         majority-owned subsidiaries. Upon consideration, all significant
         intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.

         Investments in affiliates, representing 20% to 50% of the ownership of
         such companies, are accounted for under the equity method. Under this
         accounting, the investment is increased or decreased by the Company's
         share of earnings or losses after dividends.

         For periods prior to the fiscal year ended August 31, 1996, X-Ceed
         Motivation Atlanta, Inc. has been presented as a majority interest
         (reflecting investment in excess of 50%) on a consolidated basis with
         the minority interest indicated and adjusted.

         On April 1, 1996, the Company's equity interest in X-Ceed Atlanta,
         previously representing a 59% majority interest, was reduced to a 50%
         ownership, as a result of the Company transferring shares of its
         common stock in X-Ceed Atlanta to the minority shareholder. As a
         result of this stock transfer the Company's ownership in X-Ceed
         Atlanta was reduced to a 50% interest and therefore, the assets,
         liabilities and operations of X-Ceed Atlanta after April, 1996 were
         not included in the consolidated financial statements for the
         fiscal year ended August 31, 1996 and quarter ended May 31, 1997.

4.       NOTES RECEIVABLE:

         In September 1996, the Company loaned $100,000 to a publicly traded
         company affiliated to a director/shareholder of the Company. The loan
         is evidenced by a note bearing interest at 8% per annum, originally
         payable within 180 days of the date of loan or earlier if additional
         funding was raised. In May 1997, the Company extended the maturity
         date of the loan until September 30, 1997. In consideration for the
         loan, the Company received warrants to purchase a minimum of 200,000
         shares of common stock of the borrower. In July 1997, the Company
         through a limited offer converted its 200,000 warrants into 150,000
         shares of common stock. All other terms and condition of the
         promissory note remain unchanged.

         The Company has from time to time provided financing to emerging
         companies. The Company believes that such investments May be an area
         of significant opportunity notwithstanding the significant risk
         involved.

5.       SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION - STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOW:

         The Company paid interest of $11,463 and $78,727 for the nine months
         ended May 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

6.       EARNINGS PER SHARE:

         Earnings per common share has been computed using the weighted average
         number of common shares outstanding during each period presented. The
         effect on earnings per share resulting from the assumed exercise of
         stock options and warrants is anti-dilutive and, therefore, is not
         included in the calculation.

7.       INCOME TAXES:

         Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
         differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
         liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws
         that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

         Net revenues for the nine months ended May 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively were approximately $45,406,000 and $43,102,000 representing a 5%.
Net revenues for the three months ended May 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively,
were approximately $13,651,000 and $16,874,000 representing a 19% decrease in
net sales. The difference between the three month periods is due to the
inclusion in the three months ended May 31, 1996 of two short term
merchandising programs in the X-Ceed performance improvement division which
were concluded prior to the current fiscal quarter.

         Additionally, during the three months ended May 31, 1996, the Company
reported approximately $465,000 in net revenues from X-Ceed Motivation Atlanta,
Inc. During the quarter ended May 31, 1997, the Company recognized an equity
loss of approximately $15,000 on this investment. In April 1996, the Company
relinquished its majority ownership of X-Ceed Motivation Atlanta, Inc. as a
result of a stock award to an officer of X-Ceed Motivation Atlanta, Inc. In
conjunction with this change, the Company ceased to consolidate the revenues,
assets and liabilities of the Atlanta based company. However, the Company will
continue to recognize earnings and losses on its equity investment of X-Ceed
Atlanta.

         Cost of revenues for the nine months ended May 31, 1997 and 1996 were
$28,431,000 as compared to $27,653,000, representing 63% and 64% of net
revenues, respectively. Cost of revenues for the three months ended May 31,
1997 and 1996 were $8,242,000 as compared to approximately $10,684,000,
representing 60% and 63% of net revenues, respectively. The reduction in the
cost of revenues as a percentage is directly attributable to higher margin
programs in the X-Ceed performance division. Selling, administrative and
general expenses for the nine months ended May 31, 1997 and 1996 were
$13,904,000 and $14,465,000, representing 31% and 34% of net revenues,
respectively. Selling, administrative and general expenses for the three months
ended May 31, 1997 and 1996 were $4,779,000 and $5,379,000, representing 35%
and 32% of net revenues, respectively.

         Net income for the nine months ended May 31,1997 was $1,625,000 as
compared to $705,000 for the corresponding prior period. Net income for the
three months ended May 31,1997 was $391,000 as compared to $306,000 for the
corresponding prior period. Income from operations was $3,071,000 for the nine
months ended May 31, 1997 as compared to $985,000 for the corresponding prior
period. The primary factors for the increase in income for the nine months
ended May 31, 1997 as compared to the corresponding prior period is due in part
to higher margin programs within the X-Ceed performance division and
reductions in overall overhead

expenses. During the nine months ended May 31, 1997 earnings from operations
combined with other income of approximately $295,000 resulted in the Company
reporting pretax income income of approximately $3,366,000. During the nine
months ended May 31, 1996 earnings from operations combined with other income
of $611,000 resulted in the Company reporting an pretax income of $1,595,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

         At May 31, 1997 the Company had working capital of approximately
$8,751,000 as compared to $7,964,000 at August 31, 1996. The Company believes
that it has adequate working capital for at least the next twelve months of
operations at current levels. As of July 15, 1997 the Company had approximately
$9,965,000 in cash and cash equivalents. While the Company has sufficient
capital resources to conduct its current activities, it will require additional
financing in order to expand its current operations. In order to obtain such
financing, the Company might seek to encourage the exercise of its publicly
traded redeemable Warrants or make a private placement of its securities. The
Company has at present no plans or arrangements to raise additional capital by
either method.

         The consolidated statement of cash flows for the period ended May 31,
1997 reflects net cash provided by operating activities of $3,556,000. This
resulted from net income of $1,625,000, increase in accounts payable and
accrued expense of ($1,218,000), income tax payable of ($830,000),customer
billings in excess of program costs of 1,967,000 less an increase in accounts
receivable of 2,464,000. Cash used in investing activities was $285,000,
consisting principally of an increase in notes receivable of $100,000 and
acquisitions of property and equipment of $184,000. Cash used in financing
activities approximated $425,000 consisting principally of a repayment of note
of $1,065,000 and offset by advances from affiliate of $666,000.
