ITEM 1. CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT.
On January 7, 2000, Citadel Environmental Group, Inc. (the "Company")
completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Storage
Area Networks, a Nevada corporation ("SAN"), in exchange for shares of the
Company's Series BB Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company issued a total
of 3,800,000 shares of its Series BB Convertible Preferred Stock to the
shareholders of SAN at the Closing.
The stock issuances were made pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement
("Agreement") between the Company and SAN. The terms of the Agreement were
the result of negotiations between the managements of the Company and SAN.
However, the Board of Directors did not obtain any independent "fairness"
opinion or other evaluation regarding the terms of the Agreement, due to the
cost of obtaining such opinion or evaluation. The Agreement also provides for
the issuance of a finder's fee in the amount of 220,000 shares of common stock
immediately after the completion of the proposed 1-for-36 reverse split.
The foregoing summary of the Agreement is qualified by reference to the
complete text of the Agreement, together with the exhibits thereto, which is
filed as Exhibit 10 hereto, and is incorporated herein by this reference.
The Series BB Convertible Preferred Stock( the "Preferred Stock") is
convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at the rate of one share
of Preferred Stock for 36 shares of common stock, and each share of Preferred
Stock entitles the holder to 36 votes. The Company intends to seek
shareholder approval of a one for 36 reverse stock split as soon as the
Company can prepare proxy materials and have them reviewed by the Securities
and Exchange Commission. The Company estimates that the shareholder meeting
will be held in early March. If and when the shareholders approve the reverse
stock split the holders of the Preferred Stock will be able to convert their
shares of Preferred Stock into common stock on a one for one basis.
In compliance with one of the conditions to closing the transaction with
SAN, the Company's Board of Directors, on December 20, 1999, authorized a
stock dividend of 578,190 shares of Alliance Medical Corporation to the
shareholders of the Company as of December 31, 1999. The shares were placed
into an escrow and will be distributed once Alliance is an SEC reporting
company and the distribution can be made in compliance with SEC rules. In the
event that the distribution cannot be completed by December 31, 2001, the
Alliance shares will revert to being an asset of the Company.
In preparation for the SAN closing, the Company also offered the 26
existing preferred shareholders the opportunity to convert their preferred
shares into common stock at the rate of 5 shares of common stock for every one
share of preferred stock, and all 26 preferred shareholders accepted. As a
result of this conversion, there were no shares of preferred stock outstanding
in the Company as of the closing of the transaction with SAN except for the
Series BB shares which were issued to the SAN shareholders in connection with
the acquisition of SAN. The Company also has authorized 2,700,000 shares of
Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock, and these shares were sold in a private
offering which closed immediately after the closing of the SAN acquisition.
The Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock is also convertible at the rate
of one shares of Series AA for 36 shares of common stock, and each share of
Series AA is entitled to 36 votes. The shares of Series AA were sold for
$1.50 per share, raising the Company approximately $3,600,000 in net proceeds.

As a result of the transaction with SAN, the issuance of the 3,800,000
shares of the Company's Series BB Convertible Preferred Stock to the SAN
shareholders, the conversion of the old preferred shares, the sale of
2,700,000 shares of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock, and the issuance of
the 220,000 shares (post-split) as a finder's fee following are those persons
