          This Statement relates to the Common Stock of Organic Solutions, Inc.,

Robert P. Simmet, Patricia M. Simmet and Kurt A. Larson (individually, the

          The persons making this filing are doing so because they may be deemed

Simcote, Inc., located at 1645 Red Rock Road, Newport, Minnesota 55055, is a
manufacturer and processor of specialized coatings for the steel industry.

          (d)  During the last five years, none of the Shareholders has been
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors).

          (e)  During the last five years, none of the Shareholders was a party
to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent
jurisdiction and as a result


                               Page 7 of 21 Pages

of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order
enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject
to, Federal or State securities laws or finding any violation with respect to
such laws.

          (f)  To the knowledge of the Shareholders, each Shareholder is a
United States citizen.

          The Shareholders made all of their purchases with personal funds in
